" Eight Gates Released - Fifth Gate: Gate of Limit Opens!"
Boom!
With his Four Emperors talent and his already incredibly solid foundation, Kaido of the Beasts secretly mastered the Eight Gates Released up to the Fourth Gate very early on.
He was just struggling to use the Taijutsu passed down from a kid he had always looked down on.
Being confined to the Fourth Gate is, in Kaido's eyes, a disgrace.
Therefore, apart from opening the three doors at the beginning, it has not been used since.
However, to Kaido surprise, this time he even broke through to the Fifth Gate in order to take drugs.
With the speed and power boost unleashed by the Fifth Gate, the capsule Kaido swallowed was noticeably faster.
Before Nozarashi Zanpakuto Nosara in Bai Yu's hand could strike down with overwhelming Zanpakuto, it pierced into his abdomen.
The blood-red dragon swallowed Kaido.
With an overwhelming force, it hurtled straight towards the horizon.
Wherever it passed, the earth was torn apart.
The massive blast wave, rolling and roaring, finally tore through tens of thousands of meters of rock before crashing heavily onto a rocky mountain hundreds of meters high ten thousand meters away, before coming to a stop with a deafening roar.
The immense force unleashed shattered the rocky mountains, leveling them completely.
The earth, as if it had been overturned, took a full half minute to completely calm down.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yu quickly activated his Observation Haki, instantly locking onto the distant ruins.
A swaying figure, his clothes were already torn to shreds and stained with a lot of blood.
His wide, bloodshot eyes were filled with shock.
Unfortunately, before Kaido could speak again...
The enormous head on its neck tumbled and rolled off with a whoosh.
Large amounts of blood spurted out from the severed neck.
The next moment, his body crashed heavily to the ground, and the blood that flowed out completely stained the ground red.
Seeing Kaido, who was beheaded with a single blow just like the Nusjuro before, Bai Yu's Nozarashi did not dissipate.
In that final moment, relying on the Eight Gates Released's Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, he received not only an explosive burst of power.
They also possess eyesight like a hawk.
Bai Yu witnessed firsthand why Kaido opened the Fifth Gate at the end.
This is a scarlet medicine.
He intended to use the same method when he killed the Nusjuro that day.
Compared to Kaido, the Nusjuro was clearly a step too slow and ultimately failed.
Kaido, however, has succeeded.
roar!
A dragon's roar suddenly echoed from the ruins.
A massive shockwave, like a volcanic eruption, surged forth from Kaido's decapitated corpse.
The corpse, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly tensed up, and countless fleshy tentacles extended from the broken neck, quickly wrapping around the head that had fallen not far away.
Kaido, who had died with his eyes wide open, opened them once more.
As crimson filled its pupils, large amounts of blood gushed from its entire body. As its scarlet scales spread, its fangs emerged from its mouth. Two fleshy growths rapidly appeared on its head and back, eventually transforming into scarlet horns and a pair of tattered bat wings.
His height, which had already reached six or seven meters, surged again, eventually reaching twelve or thirteen meters before suddenly stopping.
Countless mysterious patterns, like demonic flowers, spread across Kaido's body.
With its gaping maw, crimson blood emanated from its fangs.
If the dragon form and human-dragon form that Kaido displayed a moment ago could be considered human techniques, then...
However, the figure before him, entirely blood-red with fangs, blood-red horns, and wings, completely overturned Bai Yu's previous understanding.
This is a demon!
Looking at the changes that had appeared on Kaido of the Beasts, Bai Yu, as a reincarnated being, instantly had this thought flash through his mind.
All of this is probably due to the drug Kaido just took.
The only beings capable of doing something beyond the comprehension of this world are probably the Five Elders, or Imu is behind the Five Elders.
Of course, Bai Yu also thought of Vegapunk was said to possess wisdom that was five hundred years ahead of his time.
This is probably the demon that the Devil Fruit can hide, as rumored?
Awakened by the special drug just now?
Or perhaps, Kaido was corrupted into a demon?
However, Bai Yu didn't want to delve into who was behind all of this or what had happened to Kaido.
Looking at Kaido, whose bloodshot eyes were fixed on him, Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and said.
" Kaido, this is the most worthwhile time to cut him down."
roar!
Kaido opened his gaping maw, and as he roared, the Roar sound waves swept outwards like a hurricane.
With a sudden flap of its wings, the sandstorm swirled rapidly behind it.
Kaido, transformed into a blood-red demon, instantly increased his speed by more than ten times.
right!
Bai Yu wasn't mistaken; the distance of several thousand meters was closed in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he got close, his right hand, like a sharp blade, slashed down heavily in his face.
Sensing this terrifying aura, Bai Yu had already pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, and his ability to Future Sight had already been unleashed.
The Nozarashi in his hand moved faster than his thoughts could process, and slashed down directly at her.
Boom!
The massive impact caused it to explode.
Bai Yu's figure was sent flying backwards.
The demon that Kaido transformed into was no exception.
The arm that had been severed was rapidly repaired during the flight.
Bai Yu was somewhat surprised by this seemingly indestructible scene.
Sure enough, the Five Elders and Imu behind them, having lived for so long, didn't waste their lives.
The very method of awakening the demon within a Devil Fruit, once unleashed, could completely shatter the very fabric of an era.
No wonder in the original work, the Five Elders always regarded the Marine Headquarters as a useless asset, constantly mentioning that it could be easily abandoned.
Perhaps, not everyone who takes this Devil's Medicine will be able to reach Kaido's level.
However, it's still possible to improve one or two levels in strength.
One might not be able to cause much trouble, but two, three, or four, eventually forming a platoon, would likely possess enough power to destroy the world.
Most importantly, Bai Yu believed that if the Five Elders and Imu behind him were truly the beings he imagined, their methods would likely be far more complex than they appeared.
Suddenly, the otherwise dull ocean became much more interesting.
"Haha, brat, you didn't expect the Five Elders to have such tricks up their sleeves, did you? Your spirit and fighting will have been dampened by Kaido. Now let's see how you resist the combined attack of these two demons."
