Kaido grinned, his voice booming like thunder.
"Hehehe! Oden! Two years have passed, and you're still as stupid as ever!"
"They actually dared to come knocking on our door!"
Kozuki Oden held his twin swords horizontally in front of him, his gaze piercing.
" Kaido! Today is your death day!"
"Enough talk! Let's go!"
Kaido laughed wildly and took a step forward!
boom--!!!
He trampled a hole several meters in diameter into the ground beneath his feet!
Kozuki Oden also stepped forward, his twin swords crossed!
Conqueror's Haki, unleashed in full force!
boom--!!!
The two Conqueror's Haki clashed head-on, unleashing a violent shockwave!
The surrounding air was vibrating, and the pebbles on the ground were shaken and bounced up!
The next second--
The two of them vanished from the spot at the same time!
Kaido brandished the Hassaikai, his Conqueror's Haki Coating, and slammed it down towards Oden's head!
Oden drew both swords, both Conqueror's Haki Coating, and met the attack head-on!
boom--!!!!
The two forces collided, and a deafening explosion erupted!
The ground within a radius of 100 meters around the two people collapsed instantly!
The violent shockwave exploded out in a ring, sending surrounding debris and dust flying!
The pirates and samurai fighting nearby were hit by this shockwave and were sent flying backward with screams!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Kaido and Oden's figures intersected, separated, and then intersected again!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
The dense clanging of metal created a continuous sound, each strike causing the earth to tremble!
The two Conqueror's Haki clashed violently, sending dark red arcs of electricity flying everywhere and leaving countless charred marks on the ground!
"Kill!!!"
Someone let out a roar, and the two torrents of steel finally collided with a deafening crash!
Three thousand pirates vs. three thousand samurai!
Total war breaks out instantly!
Two figures hovered silently in the sky.
Roy and Tesoro looked down at the battlefield.
"It has begun," Tesoro said softly.
Roy nodded, saying nothing, just watching quietly.
On the battlefield, the sounds of fighting shook the heavens.
Ember transformed into Pteranodon, descending from the sky, its black flames sweeping across the battlefield!
Wherever it passed, warriors screamed and fell to the ground, their bodies engulfed in inextinguishable flames!
Queen activated his cyborg form, unleashing a barrage of Gatling guns, laser cannons, and viral weapons!
Da da da da--!!!
Machine gun fire swept through the area, and the samurai fell like wheat being harvested!
The laser cannons bombarded the ground, blasting huge craters in the air!
The viral weapon was released, and a purple toxic mist filled the air, causing those who inhaled it to collapse and convulse!
Jack transforms into a mammoth, his massive body charging and crashing about!
Ivory tusks sent warriors flying, elephant hooves crushed swords and blades, and wherever they went, men and horses fell!
Black Maria, Ulti, Page One, and other executives fight individually, engaging in one-on-one battles against the strongest samurai!
The Nine Red Scabbards each displayed their unique strengths!
Kin'emon's Foxfire Sword Style is sharp and ruthless, with each strike carrying a burning flame!
Kanjuro's paintbrush slashed out with each stroke, like a knife.
Raizo's scroll ninjutsu is unpredictable and ever-changing, with flames, smoke, and hidden weapons appearing one after another!
Kikunojo's swordsmanship is elegant yet deadly; each swing of his blade takes the life of a pirate!
Inuarashi and Cat Viper unleashed their full Sulong forms, their speed and strength skyrocketing, and they engaged in a fierce battle with Jack and Black Maria!
Kawamatsu possesses incredible strength; a single punch can send several pirates flying!
Denjiro's swordsmanship was equally formidable, and he fought Ulti to a standstill!
Hyogoro, leading his gang of yakuza experts, clashed with the Beasts Pirates ' executives!
Shimotsuki Yasuie commanded the Shimotsuki samurai to hold their formation and resist the pirates' attack!
Three thousand samurai formed a battle formation, their swords flashing and their clashes echoing as they fought fiercely against the pirates!
The entire plain was transformed into a carnage, a scene of carnage!
Meanwhile, at the very center of the battlefield, the battle between Kaido and Oden had reached its climax!
" Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido roared, and the Hassaikai, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slammed down towards Oden!
With Kaido's ferocious strength, he could easily smash a small mountain!
Oden neither dodged nor evaded, but crossed his twin swords, which were also imbued with Conqueror's Haki, and took the blow head-on!
boom--!!!
A deafening roar shook the heavens, and the ground beneath their feet collapsed once more!
Oden was forced back three steps, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground!
But he steadied himself, swung his twin swords, and unleashed a backhand slash!
" Togen Totsuka!"
Two sharp slashing waves, one from the left and one from the right, slashed towards Kaido!
Kaido grinned, and the Hassaikai swept through!
Clang! Clang!
The two slashing waves were dispersed, but the aftershocks still left two shallow bloodstains on his body!
"Great! That's awesome!"
Kaido, and his attack became even more frenzied!
The Hassaikai are wielded like the wind, each strike carrying the power to destroy everything!
Oden unleashed a flurry of twin sword strikes, each one precisely parrying Kaido's attacks!
The two figures clashed and collided wildly in the center of the battlefield, each exchange unleashing a violent shockwave that sent the surrounding fighters flying!
In the sky, Roy watched this scene silently, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
This is the strongest fighting force in Wano Country.
Kaido, Beasts Pirates, King of One-on-One Combat.
Oden was a top-tier swordsman capable of going toe-to-toe with Kaido.
The battle between the two was enough to change the entire course of the war.
"Boss."
Tesoro suddenly spoke,
"That Oden... something seems off about him."
Roy frowned and stared intently.
Although Oden was locked in a fierce battle with Kaido, his movements seemed somewhat... stiff?
No, it's not stiff.
Is it... impatience?
His attacks grew increasingly fierce, each strike delivered with all his might, as if he wanted to end the battle quickly.
But Kaido remained as steady as a mountain, steadily catching his attacks each time, even deliberately revealing openings to lure him into continuing his fierce assault.
What's he in such a hurry for?
Tesoro asked, puzzled.
Roy was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly understood something.
He's worried.
What are you worried about?
"I'm worried about my subordinates."
Roy looked towards the battlefield.
"Although the Nine Red Scabbards are powerful, the core members of the Beasts Pirates have all been modified."
Kaido's subordinates basically didn't take the attacks from ordinary samurai seriously.
Even if swords and knives fall on your body, they will only leave a white mark.
The casualties among the lower-ranking samurai increased dramatically under their rampage.
Oden wanted to defeat Kaido as soon as possible and turn the tide of the battle.
"But--"
Roy paused, then looked at the battlefield between Kozuki Oden and Kaido.
" Kaido is not so easy to defeat, especially since the current Kaido has undergone Bloodline Transplantation."
Although their improvement wasn't as significant as ours, their original Oni bloodline abilities were already considerable.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
Oden launched a fierce attack, forcing Kaido to retreat!
Then, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Beasts Pirates!
" Oden!"
"Don't want!"
The Nine Red Scabbards exclaimed in surprise!
But it was too late.
"Damn it! How dare you look down on me!"
Seeing that Kozuki Oden, who was fighting him, actually wanted to go and rescue his subordinates, Kaido was furious.
With a loud shout, just as Oden turned around—
Kaido flicked the Hassaikai in his hand.
