Chapter 264 Kaido…Offline

“Are you okay Barrett?”

Mona lowered her head in Barrett’s arms. Kaido’s attack clearly used a special armed color technique, and the blow penetrated Barrett’s defense and hit his body.

Mona could feel the powerful force through her muscles, and how painful would it be for Barrett to be hit straight in the face?

“No problem!”

Barrett was staggered by the unexpected attack, but he quickly adjusted his posture and jumped away from the smoke with Mona to a building not far away.

Also coming to his side was Shimotsuki Kangjia, with a frown on his face and a cold gaze looking forward. His whole body was tense and he held the knife tightly, not daring to relax at all.

As we all know, although swordsmen have a certain degree of physical training, they are far inferior to those who focus on physical skills.

If Barrett hadn’t blocked the attack just now, but had hit him straight on…

“He’s a very strong opponent! Girl, judging from your expression, do you know him?”

Shimotsuki Yasuie noticed Mona’s pupils constricted at this moment. She looked at the giant who was about six or seven meters tall in the distance with an incredible look on her face, as if she was confirming something.

“Ghost scapegoat!”

Mona slowly floated out from Barrett’s arms. The power of the fruit was fully displayed at this moment. Her ghostly body began to become blurred, and four or five phantoms floated out of her body and flew underground to hide.

She understood the difference in power between herself and Barrett, so she always positioned herself as a vase that was good at hiding, and she would consider it a victory if she did not have any impact on him.

She has long stopped developing high-powered lethal capabilities, and has instead gradually become more functional, more fun, and more hidden.

This scapegoat trick allows her to transform herself into a ghost and cut herself into several parts. As long as one of the parts survives, she will not die!

But her strength will also be divided into several parts, so once she uses this move, her combat effectiveness in the current situation is actually not much different from having no combat power at all.

“Wooo-ho-ho-ho~ Are you surprised, Ross’s daughter?”

“You should have been killed by my father a long time ago, Kaido! How could you still be alive?!”

Mona’s ghostly body frowned. She had never expected that the powerful opponent that Barrett perceived would be Kaido, the pirate who was killed by her father a few years ago!

It’s just that the opponent’s body looked a little thinner, and the scales on his half-dragon body were dull and withered. Obviously, although he was not dead, he was left with incurable injuries.

“Kaido, stop talking nonsense. I’m going to transfer the others. You grab Chanmaru and let him help you fight. Otherwise, we’re all going to die here!”

“I understand old lady, I am Kaido!”

Kaido roared to the sky, then grabbed Kurozumi Chanmaru beside him and made him sit on his neck, while the latter used his hands and feet to stabilize his body.

An invisible barrier unfolds and covers his entire body. The bug ability from the Barrier Fruit allows him to ignore most attacks. This assistance is quite useful.

Especially when his physical body was even worse than before.

“Shimotsuki Yasuie, right? Be careful. This guy is called Kaido the Beast. Although he was once defeated by my father, his strength is still one of the best in the entire ocean.”

Kaido on the opposite side did not take the initiative to attack again. Barrett in front of her had already taken up his stance. While both sides were on guard, she quickly said:
“Especially his fruit ability, which is one of the mythical beasts with the strongest physical body, the Azure Dragon Fruit. If you don’t want to fight and destroy the entire Flower City, then assist my Barrett to make a quick decision!”

“I will do my best to protect the people of Wano Country! My ancestor was the dragon-slaying warrior Shimotsuki Ryoma. I never thought that one day I would be able to slay a dragon too!”

There was excitement under Shimotsuki Yasuie’s calm face. After today’s battle, if he wins, he will probably truly become the general of Wano Country, and even if Oden comes back it will be of no use.

I’m sorry, Oden… It’s just that people are too enthusiastic about dragon slayer, so don’t blame me for being unfair to you!

Mona said, and then whispered in Barrett’s ear:

“Be careful, don’t hurt yourself just for the sake of others, understand? I’ll be angry!”

After saying this, without waiting for the latter’s reply, Mona’s figure disappeared directly into the ground. Several pairs of eyes looked through the solid earth and mountains at the tense dome mansion.

Barrett nodded silently, then opened fire at full force!

boom–!
The domineering aura of the king surged out in an instant, and the ghostly energy wrapped around his body, and then formed a huge gray-white skull with continuous lightning inside.

boom–!
Another domineering color was activated. Kaido’s domineering aura was not inferior. However, compared with Barrett’s control, he could only use it in a disorderly manner.

The two domineering colors, one large and one small, collided violently. The lightning produced tore and bombard each other in the air, and finally a majestic momentum rose into the sky!

“Oh, the sky… the sky is cracked! Is this really something a human can do?”

A warrior who was calm and composed under the Domineering Haki looked up at the sky in amazement. The clash of the two Domineering Hakis tore the clouds in the sky into pieces, making it look as if the sky was split open, strange and shocking.

Shimotsuki Yasuie beside Barrett clenched his teeth, and his figure holding the knife trembled slightly. He could feel the powerful strength of the two the most, and he was also completely excited about it!

This might be the only fight he would have in his life, he must, must, must fight to his heart’s content!
“Shuangyueliu is in the same character!”

The soldiers move first, while the generals control from behind. Shimotsuki Yasuie took the initiative to lower his posture and chose to become a soldier to open up the situation for Barrett.

Holding the sword in his hand, he drew his blade and thrust forward fiercely like a unicorn. His unique and powerful swordsmanship cut through the air, and not even a cry could be heard. He stabbed Kaido’s face silently.

“Ding ~”

With a crisp sound, the blue and white barrier easily blocked his attack.

“It’s useless! My barrier can withstand all attacks except for high-level Ryuo and Conqueror’s Haki entanglement!”

Upon seeing this, Kurozumi Chanmaru mocked Kaido loudly, revealing his weakness without any care.

This is the power of the highly developed Barrier Fruit. If Kozuki Oden had not grasped his weakness, Wano Country would have changed hands long ago when he returned!
“hateful!”

Shimotsuki Yasuji’s veins bulged and he was very angry at this blatant humiliation.

Different from the Armament Haki of the outside world, the Armament Haki “Ryu Sakura” of Wano Country has been an extreme training route with defense as a supplement and offense as the main focus from the beginning. Even if they have just awakened the Armament Haki, they can learn the advanced application of the outside world – internal destruction of Armament Haki!

And because of this, they become more sophisticated and proficient. Advanced Ryuo can even use the release of armament color to carry out internal destruction, which is very terrifying!
But unfortunately, he can’t!

As a great swordsman, his Armament Haki was created to nourish his sword, so its level is naturally very average. Although he can still cut through everything, he no longer has the power to penetrate.

Not to mention the Conqueror’s Haki, he doesn’t have it at all!
It can be said that Kurozumi Chanmaru’s words completely pinned him to the ground and severely humiliated him!

“I’ll leave it to you to cut off the aftermath, Kaido. Since my father failed to kill you, I will bury you completely!”

“Humph, arrogant brat, thundering gossip!”

Shimotsuki Yasuie quickly distanced himself from him. Kaido looked at Barrett who was charging forward with a punch and showed no sign of weakness. He gathered the armament color in his hand and climbed onto the huge mace.

Lightning gathered, wind and clouds surged, and a huge force that seemed unmatched swung forward fiercely. “Boom~”

A loud noise like thunder erupted, and the result of the first collision between Barrett and Kaido was the collapse of the entire mountain.

An ordinary venue is totally unable to bear the aftermath of a fight between two people. The most terrifying thing is a collision between two strong physical fighters.

They may not be able to change the world like the natural masters, but they can use their own powerful strength to crush everything in the battle!
“Evil ghosts and tigers!”

With one hand like a tiger’s bloody mouth, Barrett’s five fingers formed into claws and grabbed Kaido in front, and the power of the domineering color was generously bestowed on him.

“Lead the three lives to Naraku!”

Kaido jumped up quickly, covering the iron rod Hachiko with armed color, and used the inertia of the downward rush to launch a powerful attack. With the blessing of the human-dragon form, he seemed extremely strong.

“Boom~”

Another thunder-like explosion spread out, and the battle between the two men seemed like that of gods to the people on the ground.

Not far away, Shimotsuki Yasuie, who was watching the general’s mansion and rocks collapsing and falling, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and then drew his sword and swung it.

“Frost Moon Flowing Thousands of Dragon Scales”

The single blow turned into countless tiny flying blows, instantly wiping out all the falling objects like a dragon scale grindstone, without a single blow being able to harm the people fleeing into the distance.

Turning around, Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at the two figures fighting each other, then calmly aimed at Kaido’s figure, and used the sword in his “heart” to look for the opponent’s flaws.

“Frost Moon Flow Dragon Slash!”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shimotsuki Yasuie suddenly opened his eyes and slashed at the defenseless Kaido with a knife.

Although doing so goes against the samurai spirit, in a life-and-death situation, victory is everything!
In the distance, Barrett, who saw this situation, cooperated with Shimotsuki Yasuie, and launched a domineering attack straight at Kaido’s forehead, directly knocking Kurozumi Chanmaru, who was sitting on his neck, so that he could no longer maintain the ability of the fruit.

The troublesome blue and white barrier disappeared in an instant, and Kurozumi Chanmaru only had time to wrap himself up after reacting, but Kaido’s body was too big, and he was pierced by the sword in a single breath.

“Boom Ka——”

With a light “swish” sound, blood gushed out from the sword mark. The half-orc dragon scales and armed color domineering were completely unable to withstand this attack.

Kaido clenched his fists in pain, then turned around and kicked Shimotsuki Yasuie so hard that he flew backwards.

“Bang—boom!”

Shimotsuki Kangjia held the sword in front of him and crashed into the distant hill like a meteor.

“Fight again! Thunder God!”

Kaido waved the Eight Priestess and rushed towards Barrett again.

Barrett fought back calmly, and under his deliberate control, the two figures gradually separated from the crowd in the Flower City and headed towards the open space in the distance.

But even so, every fight between the two was like a landslide, and the terrifying magnitude of the earthquake gradually caused the houses to collapse, no longer able to bear the weight.

If it weren’t for the samurai, swordsman and ronin who were running around, at least thousands of people would have died inexplicably in the Flower Capital in this battle!
Yasuie Shimotsuki has been assisting in the battle, each time he would find the flaws and cooperate with Barrett, and each time he could leave a precise scar on Kaido’s body.

Kaido, who was already engaged in an intense battle with Barrett, could not withstand the beating from the two, and the Kurozumi Chanmaru on his neck was already beginning to lose his hold and was about to fall.

He was already old and his physical strength was not as good as before. Moreover, he had to dodge the attacks from DJ that penetrated the barrier from time to time, which was even more tiring and stressful.

Soon, about half an hour later, the blue and white barrier that Kaido had been maintaining on his body could no longer hold on and shattered.

Seizing the opportunity, Shimotsuki Yasuie, with the help of Barrett, beheaded Kurozumi Chanmaru with a single blow, and the battle situation completely turned one-sided from then on.

Kaido’s defeat is only a matter of time!
“Bad wind!”

A giant dragon rose into the sky, Kaido completely transformed into a beast and began to frantically destroy the surroundings.

He won’t run away! He died a few years ago, and now he is just dying again!

There has never been a king who escaped on this sea. There never was one in the past, there won’t be one today, and there won’t be one tomorrow!

A violent wind blew out of the dragon’s mouth, but the battlefield had already been moved so it didn’t affect too many people.

Although there were still some unlucky people who were scratched and died by the aftermath, there was nothing that could be done about it.

“Kaido!!”

Barrett leaped up, then slammed his body on the dragon’s head. He grabbed the huge dragon horn with one hand and began the final wrestling with it.

Shimotsuki Yasuie held his sword and cut the huge dragon’s body at will.

Blood fell like rain, and strong winds and thunder gathered into a huge storm that covered the sky above Wano Country, as if the sky was sad for the impending fall of a king and was about to shed tears.

“Die!”

“I won’t die, boy! Tell that old guy that he will come down to accompany me sooner or later! No one can escape the fate of death in this sea!!!”

Kaido is not afraid of death, his voice is full of carefreeness and helplessness.

He didn’t hate Barrett for killing him, because he knew that the world would eventually end.

Furthermore, in the world of pirates, there is no such thing as hatred, only death… and victory!

“Roar!!!”

The giant dragon was pressed down to the ground by the tiny figure, and it smashed several mountains into pieces before it finally stopped.

Barrett stood there covered in blood, watching the giant dragon gradually change, and finally transform into Kaido’s original appearance in front of him.

“Grateful……”

Shimotsuki Yasuie’s figure arrived shortly afterwards, and looking at Kaido who had already stopped breathing, he handed the sword in his hand to Barrett beside him.

Barrett slowly took the sword and held it high above Kaido’s head. He shook his head slightly, then thrust the sword down hard.

“Pfft~”

Kaido… is offline.
