Akainu's attack had clearly wounded Kaido, prompting him to transform into his dragon form.
In this form, Kaido was immense, radiating an aura of power.
His scales gleamed menacingly.
Kaido roared, coating his claws in a terrifying Armament Haki, radiating a dark, ominous glow.
He lunged at Akainu with terrifying speed, the air exploding with sonic booms.
Akainu felt a surge of exhilaration. This was it—his training had earned Kaido's respect!
He unleashed his full power, his awakened abilities surging towards Kaido.
Boom! Another deafening explosion rocked the battlefield.
The Marines instinctively covered their ears; a few more such blows, and they'd be deaf.
The shockwave caused fissures to spread across the ground, and the wind swept away the remaining clouds.
Akainu vanished—not through Soru, but because Kaido had sent him flying with a single punch.
Kaido, too, was severely injured; his dragon claws were charred black, not from Armament Haki, but from actual burning, a terrifying sight.
Akainu laughed, "Hahahaha! Kaido, you've met your match!"
Kaido, surprised by Akainu's unexpected strength, felt a surge of anger.
He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, a terrifying force that ripped through the air, charging towards Akainu.
Their renewed clash left both battered. Akainu was covered in wounds, blood staining the "Justice" on his coat.
Akainu's stamina finally gave way; the fight against a Yonko was far more grueling than it appeared.
His eyelids grew heavy, and he fell into a deep unconsciousness.
Kaido laughed, "Marines, you'll never defeat me! Not even White Dove Ryuya himself!"
A shout echoed from afar.
"Kaido, while Admiral Ryuya isn't here, we are! Prepare to die!"
It was Tsuru, who'd been observing the fight.
Seeing Akainu defeated, she launched her attack.
Drawing her sword, its sharp edge gleaming, she appeared behind Kaido, unleashing Armament Haki-imbued sword slashes.
The slashes tore through Kaido's scales, inflicting a deep wound that bled profusely.
The Marines were astonished; Kaido had been wounded!
They recognized Tsuru, the newly appointed Admiral.
Tsuru continued her assault, unleashing a series of slashes that deepened the wound. Blood flowed freely.
Kaido, though his wounds healed quickly, had been clearly injured by the newly promoted Admiral.
Stella then unleashed her awakened Rasetsu-Rasetsu no Mi abilities, a dark aura enveloping her.
The intense cutting power sent a chill down the spines of the Marines below.
They marveled at the strength of Ryuya's subordinates.
Roran, unleashing her Seiran-Seiran no Mi powers, created powerful blue shockwaves.
These shockwaves, combined with Stella's attacks, bombarded Kaido's massive form.
Kaido, in his dragon form, was a sitting duck.
"Roar!" Kaido roared, overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of three Admiral-level fighters after Akainu.
The pirates charged, but Perona simply pointed at the air, unleashing countless negative ghosts that passed through their bodies, causing them to kneel in despair. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel-fire.net
"I'm sorry to be born human."
"I shouldn't be fighting."
"I'm unworthy of being human."
Perona, floating in the air, unleashed a "Ghost Bomb" on the remaining pirates, causing immense spiritual damage. She then targeted Kaido, her negative ghosts passing through his chest.
Kaido froze for a moment.
Ain, seizing the opportunity, appeared behind Kaido and touched him, activating her Modo Modo no Mi ability.
A soft light flashed, and Kaido's body seemingly aged backward by twenty years, his strength slightly diminished, but infused with youthful vigor.
Ain, however, knew the limitations of her power. She drew her sword and plunged it into Kaido's body. Kaido roared in pain, completely surprised by Ain's skill.
Ain's power activated again, reversing Kaido's age by another twenty years, turning him into a child with childlike strength. He was no match for the Admiral-level fighters.
Tsuru, holding a Den Den Mushi, approached Kaido. Ryuya's voice echoed from the device.
"Kaido! How do you feel?" Ryuya's image appeared on the screen, enraging Kaido. But he was helpless.
"I offer you a chance to join the Marines. Surrender, and I'll spare your life."
Rage filled Kaido, but he was powerless. Another use of Ain's power, and he might vanish.
His current childlike form, however, possessed youthful strength and his past experiences.
He believed he could grow stronger.
But joining the Marines was unacceptable; the stain on his reputation would never fade.
Kaido fled, abandoning his crew, leaving them to their fate.
