Kaido shattered Zoro's attack with a single punch and continued charging towards Zoro. Seeing this, Luffy screamed wildly.
" Zoro, watch out!"
Not only Luffy, but also the four members of the group, including Molly, who had been watching the battle, were horrified and frantically tried to warn Zoro.
Seeing Kaido so easily shatter his attack, Zoro showed no sign of backing down.
His previous attack was merely to hinder his opponent; now, he unleashed his full power, his entire body radiating Demonic Aura.
" The Great Thousand Worlds, boundless emptiness!"
Zoro roared, his green hair standing on end, and his Conqueror's Haki combined with his demonic Demonic Aura erupted wildly. Facing Kaido, he did not choose to dodge; instead, his muscles bulged as he slammed into him.
A cruel smile appeared on Kaido's face, and black and red Inazuma crackled around his massive fist.
" Conqueror's Coating!"
The terrifying force of the punch slammed into the three swords, and the two men unleashed a frenzied barrage of Conqueror's Haki.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
The clash between Kaido and Zoro once again sent thick smoke billowing from Onigashima, but two faint cracking sounds could be heard in succession.
"Bang..."
A figure suddenly shot through the thick smoke and crashed violently into a distant stone wall. Everyone looked up and saw it was Zoro.
He was covered in blood, one arm hanging limply with a clearly broken bone, and he collapsed to the ground, limp and lifeless.
" Zoro!"
Sanji hopped across on one leg, his heart sinking, fearing that Zoro was already dead.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zoro's chest still rising and falling slightly. However, when he looked at Lawrence lying not far away and the remaining companions, his heart sank.
"Is this the power of an emperor? What kind of monsters are they?!"
Sanji could no longer see any hope of victory, and not only him, but everyone except Luffy felt the same way.
Molly, Usopp, Fisher, and Higgins exchanged glances, their faces filled with determination.
At this moment, they were no longer thinking about anything else; all they wanted was to inflict some damage on Kaido, even if it was just to wear him down.
"Let's attack together!"
After being ganged up on by Luffy and his crew, Kaido showed no mercy to these obviously weaker individuals, grabbing Hassaikai and throwing it away violently.
" Thunder Bagua - Di!"
Hassaikai spun wildly, and then saw Molly, Usopp, Fisher, and Higgins, who had rushed over, cough up blood and fly back, unable to get close to Kaido at all.
Bang bang bang!
The only attack that went through was the three shots fired by Usopp, but they only caused three sparks to fly off Kaido.
"Everyone!"
Luffy berserk. Watching his companions being severely injured one by one, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind. As for Sanji, he had already given up hope.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Four consecutive slams rang out, and Molly and the others all collapsed to the ground, rendered incapacitated.
Above the Flame Clouds, Kuina, who witnessed everything, looked at Lin Yuan with a strange expression.
" Kaido fierce. The entire Straw Hat Pirates are seriously injured now. Can Luffy alone defeat Kaido?"
Lin Yuan was also somewhat uncertain. He hadn't expected Kaido to be so violent and ruthless, almost wiping out the entire Straw Hat Pirates.
"Ahem, keep watching, Straw Hat Kid hasn't fallen yet!"
Kuina rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan, but didn't say anything.
Kaido was also somewhat embarrassed. He had lost control and almost everyone was seriously injured. He didn't know how he had lost.
But since things have already come to this, we might as well continue. At worst, we can knock out Straw Hat Luffy, then taunt him and say we don't care to kill them.
Moreover, Kaido wasn't unscathed after the battle had progressed this far; he had simply used up his stamina to recover.
" Straw Hat Kid, you're next. But I'm not planning to kill you. I'll beat you half to death and then throw you off Onigashima. It'll be quite fun to torture two Conqueror's Haki users, hahaha!"
After saying that, Kaido took out his gourd again, took a few big gulps, then picked up the Hassaikai before Luffy.
"Damn it, I've already wasted so much time, if I knock you out again, then forget it."
Thinking of this, Kaido decided not to continue pretending and quickly rushed towards Luffy.
" Thunder Bagua!"
Sensing Kaido's frenzied killing intent, Luffy's angry face gradually calmed down. After more than an hour of recovery, he gradually regained some strength.
"Clang clang clang!!!"
" Gum-Gum Supreme King Kong Gun!"
Swiftly shifting into Gear Fourth, Luffy's feet pierced the air, propelling him into the air. His massive fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slammed fiercely towards Kaido.
Another loud bang echoed across Onigashima as Hassaikai and Luffy's fists collided violently.
The Conqueror's Haki repelled each other once again, causing the surrounding ground to crack continuously.
Sanji endured the pain and activated his Devil Fruit power, carrying Zoro and the others away from the area. After several meetings, he finally managed to take the Straw Hat Pirates away.
If this continues, the aftershocks alone could kill these severely injured people.
Although they were unsure of what to do, Sanji and the others could only place their hopes on Luffy.
Facing Kaido, Luffy didn't shout this time, but attacked with all his might without saying a word, his arms sometimes turning into countless whip shadows, and sometimes into countless fists.
However, no matter how fast Luffy's attack speed is, Kaido is still able to keep up and knock Luffy away multiple times.
Perhaps wanting to give up, Kaido's patience finally wore thin. Looking at Luffy's constant Luffy, a hint of savagery flashed in his eyes.
"Boom!!!"
The terrifying Conqueror's Haki once again affected the heavens and earth. Heavy rain began to fall above Onigashima, plunging the sky into darkness. Occasional flashes of lightning illuminated the solemn faces of the two.
" Straw Hat Kid, it's time to end this."
" Thunder Bagua - Di!"
Kaido threw Hassaikai again, and it arrived in front of Luffy almost instantly, giving him no chance to dodge.
Luffy gritted his teeth and slammed his attack towards Hassaikai, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Kaido's attack.
" Ikoku!"
"Boom!"
The terrifying shockwave engulfed Hassaikai and Luffy. The attack hit them head-on, sending Luffy flying and plummeting towards the ground.
The terrifying blow blasted a hole in the clouds, demonstrating its immense power.
Kaido sensed with his Observation Haki that Luffy's aura had weakened to an extremely low level, and then he gasped for breath.
"It's not my fault, the opponent was just too weak."
After saying that, Kaido took out his gourd and drank heartily, completely forgetting what Lin Yuan had said.
However, Lin Yuan showed no sign of disappointment; in fact, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"Has it finally arrived? The Drums of Liberation!"
"Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!"
Suddenly, a drumbeat resounded throughout Onigashima, causing Kaido to turn his head to look in Luffy's direction.
That's the sound of a heartbeat.
