Chapter 219
"Um?"
Kaido's expression suddenly changed, "That sword—"
Chapter 149 A Glimpse into the Future!
The moment World drew his sword, Kaido realized something was wrong.
It's not that he recognized the origin of the sword at a glance; Kaido's memory isn't that good, and he doesn't know much about swords.
It was because his keen Observation Haki sensed the familiar aura emanating from the knife.
"Kozuki Oden's sword?"
The enormous azure dragon narrowed its huge eyes slightly. "Hey, World, why is this knife in your hands?"
Kaido didn't seem to care much about Kozuki Oden's two swords; otherwise, he wouldn't have so casually returned them to Kozuki Oden after capturing Kozuki Oden.
He even took down Kozuki Oden himself, so what are two swords compared to that?
If I remember correctly, those two swords should have been taken away by Kozuki Oden's wife, right?
Then, on the day Oden Castle was engulfed in flames, they should have already perished alongside Kozuki Oden's wife.
Why did this knife end up in World's hands?
Could this guy have some connection to Wano Country?
Who knows?
Naito, of course, wouldn't tell Kaido that Kozuki Oden's daughter was still alive and that she had personally handed him the sword.
"Very good,"
Kaido, instead of getting angry, laughed, "World, let me see just how tough your mouth really is!"
"Bolo Breath!"
The enormous azure dragon opened its ferocious maw, and brilliant flames burst forth from the depths of its throat.
Naito simply raised the corners of his mouth in a smile.
The distance is too close, Kaido.
Within my firing range.
Naito simply raised his right hand.
The next moment.
Wow!
Kaido, his mouth agape, suddenly let out a muffled groan from deep in his throat.
Blood splattered from his mouth.
An invisible barrier suddenly materialized and became lodged in his mouth. Not only that, but sharp spikes also extended from the sides of the barrier, piercing Kaido's tongue and the walls of his mouth.
Instantly, blood gushed from Kaido's mouth.
This isn't even the end of it.
Because the flames surging from deep within Kaido's throat could no longer be contained.
Boom!!
The blazing flames crashed heavily against the transparent city walls.
Then.
Boom!
Flames exploded inside Kaido's mouth.
A small amount of flame squeezed out from the gaps in the barrier and burst out of Kaido's mouth.
But even more flames exploded directly inside Kaido's mouth.
The violent explosion caused Kaido's massive head to tilt back involuntarily, his eyes rolled back instantly, and thick black smoke even billowed from his mouth.
How arrogant Kaido! He should know "World's" abilities, yet he dares to unleash his breath so recklessly.
Naito raised the Enma in his hand, and a huge projection blade covered Enma and condensed into shape, instantly injecting two-colored Haki into it.
Finally, the More-More Fruit began to exert its power.
The giant sword, shimmering with a faint black hue, pierced through the sky like a streak of black light in an instant.
The next second, the giant sword pierced directly into the huge X-shaped scar on the belly of the enormous azure dragon.
Kaido's incredibly resilient body was no match for the dragon's; the giant sword pierced through the scar and plunged deep into its body.
Crimson blood spurted out again.
"Ugh!"
Kaido roared in agony, but his mouth wouldn't close, and he could only make indistinct sounds.
So, what dragon form will it take?
Don't they realize that this posture of theirs has always been only meant to make them take a beating?
However, Kaido is Kaido after all. Such methods can only cause him temporary pain, and it is almost impossible to defeat him with them.
His rolled-back eyes instantly returned to normal, his narrow pupils filled with ferocity.
An overwhelming, two-tone Haki instantly enveloped the entire mouth.
Click!
The mimicry Seastone blocking Kaido's mouth was instantly shattered by his bite.
"World!!"
With an angry roar, massive wind blades rained down on Naito.
They never learn their lesson.
Naito beckoned with his finger, and a new barrier was about to condense and take shape again in Kaido's mouth.
However, Kaido wasn't truly forgetful. He slammed his enormous mouth shut and crushed the projection before it could even take shape.
Now, it's Naito's turn to face the oncoming wind blades.
Ta-da!
The continuous clanging of metal reverberated through the sky.
Countless wind blades crashed head-on into the faintly black Wall of Sighs in front of Naito, and then shattered into pieces in an instant.
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Before the wind blades had even completely dissipated, the lightning had already exploded before their eyes.
Kaido, having directly entered his beastman form, flew over like a gust of wind, his feet resting on surging Flame Clouds.
Black lightning exploded from the iron rod he gripped tightly in his hand; the rod merely grazed the air, yet the air itself emitted a burnt smell.
Completely enraged, it was too lazy to test the waters in human form anymore and went straight into serious mode.
That's perfect.
Naito smiled.
One of the reasons for going to war with Kaido was naturally because there was no other way; there was no reason to compromise with Kaido.
As for the second reason, Naito is really close to achieving the level of Observation Haki that Future Sight.
Even when possessing World, his Observation Haki only possessed half the strength of his original form.
However, the Observation Haki the Future Sight Haki requires quality, not quantity.
This move is essentially just a technique.
Naito has already achieved the quality of Observation Haki.
Now all that's needed is to kick open the final door.
There is no more suitable opponent than Kaido.
He instantly unleashed his full Observation Haki, while his physical and mental strength rapidly depleted, condensing into an invisible armor on his body.
The material used to make this armor is based on Vibranium from the Marvel movies; it is not only hard but also capable of absorbing impacts.
Although the Vibranium created through Mimicry Projection is certainly far less powerful than the original, it should be barely sufficient when combined with Haki.
After all, Naito wasn't just preparing for defense this time.
At the same time, projections of more physical and mental energy covered the surface of Enma, and after being infused with Haki, the black greatsword condensed and took shape.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; Naito had just finished doing all this when the black iron rod was about to smash into his face.
But at that very moment, the More-More Fruit's power activated.
The armor covering Naito's body dragged him along, and with the acceleration from the More-More Fruit, the final effect was that Naito almost instantly disappeared from his spot, and Kaido's iron rod missed its mark.
Kaido swung his club behind him almost instantly.
When!!
The pale black greatsword clashed with the pitch-black iron rod, and a Haki Inazuma spread across the sky like a spider web in an instant.
The surrounding air almost solidified in that instant, forced by a powerful force to spread in all directions, thus forming a white shockwave.
Naito's sword trembled violently; the power emanating from the hilt told him just how powerful the monster before him truly was!
"Whoa!!"
The enraged dragonman roared, his arm muscles bulging.
Even though the armor covering Naito's body helped to absorb a large portion of the force, he was still sent flying backward by Kaido's blow.
He's way better than that Ochoku guy!
Naito sighed inwardly.
However, his strength was not to be underestimated! Kaido was also sent flying by a single sword strike!
The next instant, Naito's body, which had been flying backward, shot forward again.
The speed is still so fast that it is completely imperceptible to the normal human eye.
"When!"
Kaido sidestepped again, blocking with his staff, and Naito's greatsword slammed into the iron staff.
The immense force amplified by inertia slammed down, causing Kaido to plummet downwards as well.
Before Kaido regain his footing, Naito launched another attack.
"The More-More Fruit?"
Even a seasoned veteran like Kaido couldn't help but grit his teeth in annoyance at this moment.
