The vast ruins fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing Yamato below, his face filled with fighting spirit, Kaido's expression instantly darkened to the extreme.
Only King, standing to the side, suddenly flapped his wings and quickly arrived at Kaido's side, saying...
"Boss Kaido, I just checked Queen's Vivre Card Piece, and it's already burned to ashes."
" The Flying Six have all disappeared; it seems they've also fallen into the enemy's hands."
"Our Beasts Pirates have lost all of their top-tier fighting force. Even if we kill Bai Yu, our standing among the Four Emperors will be diminished."
" Yamato Master Yamato is indeed a bit rebellious, but if we can get him to submit to us, he might be able to replace Queen and Jack and make up for our lost strength. He's a promising talent."
Kaido has indeed subjected Yamato to inhuman torture and assassination attempts, forcing her to struggle and grow stronger on the brink of death.
They didn't care at all about Yamato's life or death.
However, Kaido still takes Yamato's talent, physique, and combat prowess very seriously.
Otherwise, in the original story, they wouldn't have planned to kill Orochi, let Yamato inherit the position of shogun, and completely control Wano Country.
King's words made Kaido's expression darken slightly, and he then spoke in a cold voice.
" Yamato, you heard what Jin said, right? Now I'm giving you two choices: become Father's right-hand man, or die!"
Suffocating fatherly love!
Zoro, Sanji, and the others couldn't help but shrink back upon hearing these words.
Even they understood the principle that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs.
Now, Kaido's every word is a call to fight and kill.
They genuinely doubted whether Yamato was their biological son.
"Hmph, Kaido, you talk too much nonsense. I haven't challenged you for a year. Just now, I single-handedly suppressed four War Demon Bai Yu. Today, I'll show you just how strong I've become."
Yamato snorted coldly and said.
" Ace, you hold off King for me! I'm going to kill Kaido and then open Wano Country to the world, just like you!"
Ace?
A group of Bai Yu?
Kaido bewildered.
No!
It should be said that even Jin was no exception.
Looking at Bai Yu, who was being addressed as Ace, it was clear that he had lost control of his facial expressions.
Instantly, it became clear that their young master from the Beasts Pirates had been cast as an extra.
Bang!
Yamato took a heavy step, and the ground beneath his feet shattered with a resounding crash.
He shot through the void like a cannonball, charging straight toward Kaido was hovering in mid-air.
The massive spiked club, gripped tightly in both hands, crackled with lightning as it slammed down without a trace of flourish.
" Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido, caught in the attack, suddenly snapped back to his senses. Seeing the rapidly enlarging attack in his pupils, his face darkened, and with a flick of his massive dragon claw, he drew the Hassaikai. His muscles bulged like rocks as he roared and swung them out.
" Yamato, you're still the same as before, completely oblivious to the difference in strength."
"Your attack is at most a Thunderclap Four Trigrams, completely incomparable to mine."
"Go to hell, my stupid son!"
Boom!
The two spiked clubs, wreathed in lightning, collided instantly.
In the void, as if struck by lightning, a violent shockwave rippled outwards like a hurricane.
Kaido let out a chilling the Roar.
" The Third Gate of the Eight Gates Released opens!"
The instantaneous breach of the three pressure points allowed Kaido's power to break through its limitations.
The attack, which already Yamato Dotō torrent at this moment.
Yamato, who was below, only felt his arms suddenly bend.
The Hassaikai, which were being desperately resisted, were rapidly enlarging in the pupils.
Bang!
The sonic booms in the air were deafening.
Yamato, like a cannonball, crashed heavily against the thick wall of Udon, accompanied by crackling lightning.
The immense impact shattered the specially made walls of the Udon, creating a spiderweb-like network of cracks.
Yamato was even directly embedded in it.
The power of that single strike was terrifying.
The moment Hyogoro and the others who had just come out of Udon changed their expressions.
They knew perfectly well that Kaido of the Beasts, who was now hovering in the sky, was much stronger than he had been twenty years ago.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, can this so-called Bai Yu truly accomplish what Kozuki Oden could not?
" The Eight Gates Released?"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled bloodthirstyly.
Sure enough, even Kaido of the Beasts of the Four Emperors, considered using the Eight Gates Released when he was forced into a desperate situation.
When Bai Yu first passed on the Eight Gates Released, it wasn't because he'd lost his mind.
This is entirely because unlocking Kenpachi Zaraki's Main Body Template will become increasingly difficult over time.
In the end, even defeating Shichibukai or Four Emperors's vice commander might not be enough to unlock the template.
If Bai Yu stops here, it will be a major weakness.
After all, behind the World Government, besides the Five Elders who possess numerous methods, there is also the deeply hidden Imu.
Bai Yu did indeed have some speculations about the existence of Imu.
However, before everything is completely certain, Bai Yu will absolutely not allow the other party to find an opportunity to take advantage.
You must act before the other party clearly senses the threat you pose and finally decides to take action.
Bai Yu wants to improve the Main Body Template to 80%, or even 90%.
Only in this way could Bai Yu feel at ease.
After all, if Imu's origins are really as I suspect...
Bai Yu understood perfectly well that it was an existence capable of destroying the world.
Kaido unleashing of the Third Gate of the Eight Gates Released might not result in a significant increase in strength.
But this undoubtedly makes him even more qualified to farm template unlock points.
This is one of the ways to increase Kaido's prestige.
" Kaido, you really did have other tricks up your sleeve that you didn't teach me. However, if you think you can defeat me completely with just these tricks, you're underestimating me."
Yamato squeezed out from inside the wall, gritted his teeth, and raised the giant spiked club in his hand once more.
"Also, I am Kozuki Oden, not the Yamato you speak of."
"I bear the mission of opening Wano Country, Kaido, you can just die!"
Crackling lightning once again exploded from Yamato's body.
Despite the overwhelming surge of ferocious momentum, they showed no sign of backing down despite their earlier setback.
Beneath his brows, there was an even stronger sense of resolute determination, as if he were facing death.
It gives the impression that they were completely brainwashed by Kozuki Oden's diary.
Looking at Yamato, who was obsessed and trying Hundred Plans to imagine himself as Kozuki Oden Yamato, even Bai Yu was a little curious about what kind of nonsense was written in the diary that Yamato found.
It can make people so obsessed.
