Vic didn't know how much of Kaido's power he used in that attack, but its power was indeed considerable. Compared to Big Mom's attacks, which relied heavily on her abilities, Kaido's attack posed a greater threat to opponents of this level. In a prolonged battle, Kaido would have the advantage.
The two separated immediately after their initial exchange and retreated to a distance. Vic no longer fought bare-handed; he drew both swords from his waist. If he was going to put on a show, he had to be serious, otherwise it would be difficult to defeat Kaido with his bare hands.
If this gets out, it will become a weakness. You, a swordsman, defeated Kaido bare-handed? Wouldn't you be even more powerful if you used a sword? So we must eliminate these unnecessary weaknesses.
" Black Blade! Two of them!"
Vic didn't give Kaido much of a chance to speak. He drew his sword and swung it casually. A bright Sword Gang was generated from the Black Blade and flew towards Kaido at incredible speed, arriving in an instant.
Kaido had anticipated Vic's attack and naturally wouldn't let the Sword Gang succeed, so he swung his spiked club and shattered it.
Although the Sword Gang Sword Gang was shattered, the fragments were still sharp. As they scattered, some cut through the air, some cut through Kaido's clothes, and some cut through the ground in front of Kaido!
Kaido's body wasn't so easily breached, but his clothes were in bad shape, already somewhat tattered, revealing his solid muscles underneath.
Although Kaido wasn't injured, he was definitely not in a good mood. He still harbored a deep fear of swordsmen. The scars Oden left on him were hard to erase. A powerful combination of swordsmanship and powerful Haki was his nemesis, and the person in front of him possessed both!
Therefore, Kaido stopped passively attacking and started taking the initiative to engage in close combat with Vic, which would greatly reduce the threat posed by the swordsman!
Swordsmen possess a sword technique that allows them to teleport instantly and unleash a powerful and incredibly fast strike. This technique is impossible to dodge or defend against. However, such a technique requires time to build up momentum, and close combat will not give the opponent that time.
Having figured it out, Kaido charged towards Vic, swinging his spiked club at Vic's head. The club was crackling with intense Armament Haki and Inazuma, and combined with his massive size, the oppressive aura was overwhelming. Before the blow even landed, Vic was already enveloped in a strong wind!
Vic crossed his twin swords above his head, but was struck by the blow and slid backward for more than ten meters. However, Vic's body remained firmly standing, unchanged from before the attack.
Kaido's attack was completely neutralized, and his Haki was blocked from his weapon. However, Kaido didn't care and continued to attack Vic with a light tap of his toe.
" Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido's attack was incredibly fast; he moved with the force of wind and thunder, covering a distance of over ten meters in the blink of an eye. Kaido's club swung in a perfect circle, coming from behind Kaido head, demonstrating the immense power he used. Luffy's Gear Fourth was instantly defeated by this attack.
However, Vic is not Luffy, and he did not intend to fight head-on. Logia Fruit users should fight using Logia methods, so he had already vanished from the spot by transforming into his element before Kaido got close.
Kaido struck empty air with his club, creating a violent sonic boom that caused the moisture in the air to vaporize, producing a large amount of white mist. Against the backdrop of the mist, it seemed as if space itself was about to be shattered by the blow!
"You forgot! You're not just a pure swordsman; you're also a Logia Fruit user!"
Kaido's attack missed Vic, but he wasn't discouraged at all. He even turned around and grinned at Vic had transformed back into human form, before slowly turning to face Vic. His spiked club was wreathed in purplish-black Ryuo of light, and he swung it to unleash a powerful burst of energy towards Vic.
"Diamond-shaped Diproton!"
The move was announced before the sound was heard, and by the time Vic heard the sound, the Haki purplish-black energy had already arrived in front of him!
Without a second thought, Vic swung his sword and slashed forward. The seemingly ordinary move split the incoming energy in two, and the cleaved energy struck the ground behind Vic, causing a massive explosion. This time, even the ground of Titan Island couldn't withstand the force, creating two large craters.
The moment the explosion rang out, the two charged at each other. Their previous probing attacks were almost over, and they knew each other roughly. However, the difference was that Kaido's rough estimate was real, while Vic's was an act. But Kaido wasn't in his strongest Human-Beast Form yet, so his estimate was really just a rough estimate.
The two clashed fiercely, the Black Blade and the spiked club exchanging blows more than a dozen times in a short period of time, the shockwaves spreading across the shores of Titan Island as if they were free!
Vic controlled his power output and remained on the defensive, while Kaido, like an tireless black bull, rained down attacks on Vic, occasionally managing to knock Vic away once.
However, Vic did not have such a record. In everyone's eyes, Vic was the one who was at a disadvantage and passively taking a beating. Especially those few weak and timid girls, Ain and Uta both threw themselves into Olvia's arms, and they were afraid to look at the battlefield, fearing that Vic would be smashed flat by Kaido's big club and beaten to a bloody pulp at any moment.
Yamato shouted encouragement to Vic, Rebecca stared blankly at the battlefield, Kuina rested her hand on the hilt of her Wado Ichimonji sword with a cold expression and her eyes filled with fighting spirit, Frodeku crossed his arms without a trace of worry on his face, and Barnett was the same.
The aftershocks of their battle even affected the aurora above Titan Island. After each clash, the aurora in the sky would distort or even change color, allowing people on the surrounding islands to understand just how intense their battle was from the changes in the aurora!
These people have been keeping a close eye on things ever since Kaido arrived. The Vic Pirates are protecting them, and they don't want to see anything happen to Vic and his crew. They are all praying that Vic will defeat the invading enemy, except for the spies among them, of course.
Kaido and Vic clashed for thousands of moves in close combat, and half a day had passed. Kaido would shout out the name of each move he made. After thousands of moves, he felt no fatigue, but his voice was truly hoarse.
Meanwhile, Vic remained silent, seemingly unable to even name the moves he was struggling to defend himself. However, no matter how Kaido attacked or suppressed Vic, none of his attacks could truly injure Vic; at most, he would just send Vic flying with his club.
However, Vic's Haki defense was no joke; the spiked clubs that hit him were completely blocked by Armament Haki. This made it clear to Kaido that Vic, who had defeated the old woman, was indeed no ordinary person.
To be among the top powerhouses at such a young age, even younger than Shanks, who is also one of the Four Emperors, shows how terrifying young people are these days. This also made Kaido realize that the closer we get to that great era, the faster young people grow, and it's normal for all sorts of prodigies to emerge.
"Kyoudai-san-sama: Naraku!"
Kaido knew that attacks at the Armament Haki level were ineffective against Vic, whose Armament Haki Vic was no weaker than his own, and he didn't know how Victor had trained, as it was seriously inconsistent with his age.
But thinking about such things now is pointless. Kaido leaped into the air, wrapped his Conqueror's Haki Coating his spiked club, and swung it at Vic.
