Five sharp claws, covered in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, reached directly for Uchiha Xin.
A single dragon claw was larger than the nearby houses.
Before the claws even landed, the ground was already torn apart by the pressure.
The Kozuki Hiyori instantly transformed into lightning, retreating hundreds of meters.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
The samurai in the distance turned and ran.
A Beasts Pirates members who had just arrived from Onigashima were parked at the other end of the street.
They saw Kaido revert to his original form and wanted to go forward to help him in battle.
However, the pressure generated when the dragon claw fell directly pressed the people at the front to the ground.
"Retreat!"
" Kaido is about to unleash his full power!"
"Don't stay within attack range!"
They hadn't retreated very far when the dragon claw was already on Uchiha Xin's head.
Uchiha Xin raised the Sage's Shakujo with one hand.
clang!
The dragon's claw slammed head-on into the tin staff.
The five sharp claws could no longer press down.
Kaido twisted his dragon body, channeling all his power into his forward claws.
The ground collapsed downwards, centered on Uchiha Xin.
The small area beneath his feet remained unchanged.
The Sage's Shakujo remained firmly in place, blocking the dragon's claws.
Kaido's other dragon claw followed closely behind, slamming down.
Uchiha Xin raised his hand and pushed.
The first dragon claw was forcibly shaken off.
The staff smoothly blocked to the side.
Bang!
The second dragon claw was also blocked.
The impact spread to both sides.
Several members of the Beasts Pirates who hadn't managed to evacuate were thrown into the air.
His body exploded in mid-air.
Flesh and blood fell together with the rubble.
The pirates behind them were so frightened that they continued to flee.
"Don't stop!"
"We can't even stop the aftershocks!"
Kaido ignored his subordinates.
He twisted his body by colliding with the dragon's claws.
A dragon's tail, thousands of meters long, swept across the Flower Capital.
Wherever it passed, large areas of buildings were smashed to pieces.
" Divine Dragon Tail Swing!"
The dragon's tail tore through the air and slammed head-on into Uchiha Xin.
Uchiha Xin turned his body around.
The Sage's Shakujo pointed forward.
The tip of the staff pressed against the dragon's tail.
boom!
The force of the dragon's tail sweeping out stopped instantly.
Kaido's massive body was thrown to the side by the recoil.
Dozens of dragon scales on its tail split open simultaneously.
Fresh blood flowed out from the seam.
Kaido steadied himself and circled back into the sky.
He looked down at the shattered dragon scales, his anger replaced by shock.
After regaining his original form, his power increased at least several times.
The dragon's claws and tail are its strongest attack parts.
Uchiha Xin, however, still did not move.
"You knew from the beginning that this was Lao Tzu's true form?"
"Good."
Even Linlin only found out about this after I told her myself.
Kaido stared down below.
"You can confirm it after just a few glances?"
"You can conceal your form."
Uchiha Xin said:
"The essence of life cannot be hidden."
After he finished speaking, he put away the Sage's Shakujo.
The Truth-Seeking Orb transformed back into a black sphere, hovering behind him.
Kaido saw this and let out a cold laugh.
"How?"
"You want to test your strength against me bare-handed?"
"You were only able to block the dragon's claws because of that weapon!"
"Even without weapons, I can crush your body with a single claw!"
Kaido swooped down from the sky.
The right dragon claw grips tightly.
A Haki layered over the claw tips.
Uchiha Xin did not dodge.
He raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
The dragon's claw collided head-on with the fist.
Bang!
Kaido felt an irresistible force surge from his claws into his arm.
The Haki covering the dragon's claws was instantly shattered.
Five sharp claws flipped backward.
The entire forelimb then lost control.
His dragon body was forcefully shaken back several meters.
Large swathes of flames were also torn apart by the impact.
Kaido forcefully swung his dragon tail to stabilize himself in mid-air.
He looked down at the trembling dragon claws.
"Impossible!"
How can your body have such strength?
Uchiha Xin remained rooted to the spot.
"This is the Body of the Extreme Path."
The bloodshot color in Kaido's eyes grew increasingly intense.
He suddenly rose into the sky, his dragon body circling once in the clouds.
A large amount of flame converged upwards from the abdomen.
The dragon's mouth opened.
Crimson Kakkō illuminate the Flower Capital.
" Bolo Breath!"
A scorching dragon's breath erupted from the sky.
The pillar of fire pierced through the clouds in an instant, pressing down directly on Uchiha Xin.
The air along the way was distorted by the high temperature.
The houses below caught fire before the dragon's breath even touched them.
Kozuki Hiyori retreated again.
Darkness spread from her body, blocking the oncoming heat.
The Beasts Pirates members had already fled to a more distant location.
Several people were too slow and were caught in the fire waves stirred up by the dragon's breath.
A single scream rang out before his body was reduced to charred remains.
" Kaido's Bolo Breath!"
"The entire Flower Capital will be burned down!"
"That man didn't dodge!"
Uchiha Xin watched the falling pillar of fire.
The true breath of a dragon.
It contains not only flames, but also Kaido's own dragon power.
This has completely confirmed his judgment.
Kaido is a special dragon-type creature.
The so-called Azure Dragon is not a form transformed from an ordinary Devil Fruit.
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
Black Lightning gathered from his palm.
"Extreme Path: Dark Lightning "
The lightning bolt collided head-on with the dragon's breath.
There was no stalemate.
The crimson pillar of fire began to crumble from its very tip.
Dark Lightning surged upwards along the dragon's breath.
Kaido immediately closed his dragon mouth and twisted his head to dodge.
The Dark Lightning changed direction mid-air and struck him squarely in the chest.
boom!
The blue dragon scales exploded in large areas.
A wound pierced through his chest.
Blood splattered from the sky.
Kaido let out a painful roar.
The enormous dragon's body crashed through the clouds and rolled backward several times.
The lingering Dark Lightning in his chest was still tearing at the wound.
His recovery ability was suppressed.
Dragon blood continued to gush from the cracked scales.
The excruciating pain completely ignited Kaido nature.
His breathing became erratic.
The rationality in Long's eyes was also rapidly fading.
" Uchiha Xin!"
Kaido opened his bloody maw and plunged down from the sky.
There was no dragon breath.
There are no Haki moves.
He only wanted to crush the person in front of him with his fangs.
Kozuki Hiyori noticed the change.
" Kaido has lost control?"
Uchiha Xin watched as the giant dragon pounced.
Kaido's emotions are unpredictable.
After drinking alcohol, one's emotions fluctuate constantly between laughter, anger, and tears.
In the past, everyone thought that this was just his personality.
It now seems that it wasn't just a personality issue.
Dragons retain some of their wild animal instincts.
Although Kaido can transform into human form and think normally, he cannot completely control his bestial nature.
When injured or enraged, instinct will override reason.
This is the root of his warlike nature, irritability, and unpredictable temper.
Kaido had already charged towards him.
The bloody mouth was fully open.
Two rows of fangs aimed at Uchiha Xin and bit down.
Since you refuse to submit.
Eleven rings lit up simultaneously in Uchiha Xin's eyes.
The Power of the Extreme Path covered his hands.
"Then there's no need to keep you around."
He pushed his palms forward.
"Ultimate Path: Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
Countless fist energies instantly filled the sky, all striking Kaido.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A barrage of punches rained down on Kaido.
The blue dragon scales burst open one after another.
The dragon's body, several kilometers long, was repeatedly tumbled by the force of the punches, with large chunks of blood and flesh falling from the sky.
Every punch carries the Power of the Extreme Path.
