Chapter 215 Fierce Battle
"Not bad in terms of strength," Kaido commented.
Then, the oppressive aura of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body once more. This time, it wasn't an entangling force, but a pure release.
A terrifying aura, as if it were about to crush the entire world, spread outwards from Kaido's center.
Bai Yu sensed it.
Those who are not strong enough will lose consciousness directly in the face of this oppressive force.
However, Bai Yu also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, colliding head-on with Kaido's oppressive aura.
Two overwhelming forces clashed in mid-air, and the lightning in the air became more and more abundant and dense, as if the entire sky was on fire.
On the ground, the members of the Beasts Pirates, who had already lost consciousness, fainted again in the clash of the two Conqueror's Haki.
Some people even foamed at the mouth and convulsed uncontrollably.
Behind some ruins on the edge of the battlefield, a figure was watching the two fight with gritted teeth.
That's Yamato.
The clash of Conqueror's Haki caused the entire Oni Island to tremble.
A massive rift was torn open in the dark clouds of the sky, and moonlight poured through the gap, illuminating the shattered battlefield. Two invisible forces clashed and tore at each other in the air, each confrontation cracking the ground and turning the ruins into dust.
Kaido's dragon eyes burned with a fervent fighting spirit.
He hadn't encountered such an opponent in a long time—not the kind of trash who would be knocked down with a single blow, nor the kind of coward who would only run away, but a true powerhouse who dared to face his Conqueror's Haki head-on and even retaliate with the same force.
"Uchiha Hakuha!"
Kaido's voice was like thunder, making the air tremble.
"You remind me! You remind me of that era! You remind me of Rocks! You remind me of Roger! You remind me of Whitebeard!"
His dragon claws gripped the Eight Precepts tightly, and the black lightning on his staff grew increasingly dense and violent.
"That was a surge of exhilaration I hadn't felt since the Battle of God Valley!"
Shiraha's Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, reflecting Kaido's body in its pupils.
He didn't speak.
But the corners of his eyes curved slightly upwards.
"Kaido."
Bai Yu's voice was very calm, as calm as a stagnant pool.
But it is precisely this calm that is more oppressive than any roar.
"You are the strongest opponent I have ever encountered in this world."
He held his longsword horizontally in front of him, the Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki on the blade intertwined, forming a unique black pattern that flowed across the blade as if it were alive.
"Therefore, I won't hold back."
Kaido grinned.
It was a wild laugh, a bloodthirsty laugh, a laugh that longed to be satisfied.
"Just what I wanted!"
His body disappeared from the spot.
It wasn't teleportation, but rather an extreme speed.
In his human-beast form, Kaido achieves a perfect balance between strength and speed.
His dragon claws shattered the ground, each step leaving deep footprints in the rocks and causing the earth to tremble.
The Eight Precepts, enveloped in black lightning, crashed down towards Bai Yu's head.
Bai Yu did not retreat.
His Mangekyou Sharingan captured the entire trajectory of the attack and anticipated every possible change.
Then, he raised his knife and charged forward.
"clang--!!!"
The knife and the stick collided.
This time, it's not a test, not an evasion, but a real head-on collision.
The two bursts of Conqueror's Haki exploded at the point of impact, and black lightning spread outwards, forming a shockwave visible to the naked eye. Wherever the shockwave passed, everything was crushed; the ground, ruins, rocks, and even the air trembled.
Bai Yu's feet sank into the ground, his knees bent slightly, but he held on.
The muscles in his arms were taut.
A hint of surprise flashed in Kaido's dragon eyes.
"You're going to force me to accept your eight precepts?"
His grin widened even further.
"good!"
He withdrew the eight precepts and then smashed them down again.
This strike was more powerful than the previous one.
Bai Yu raised his sword again to parry.
"clang-!!!"
Kaido gave Bai Yu no chance to catch his breath.
The third strike.
The fourth strike.
The fifth strike.
Each strike was heavier than the last, each strike carrying the full force of Conqueror's Haki.
Bai Yu parried each of Ba Zhaijie's attacks with precision, blocking each one precisely.
The sound of swords clashing against clubs echoed across the battlefield like a death knell.
Each collision generates a shockwave that spreads outwards.
The cracks in the ground are becoming more numerous and deeper.
The air was filled with the smells of blood, burnt food, and ozone produced by the clash of Conqueror's Haki.
"That felt great! That felt great! That felt great!"
Kaido laughed wildly, his dragon whiskers dancing wildly in the wind, and his dragon eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"I haven't had such a satisfying battle in ages! I haven't even seen Lingling in ages!"
He raised his eight precepts again, this time with black lightning on the staff reaching an extreme density.
Bai Yu's Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly.
He saw it.
He saw the entire attack.
That wasn't a simple physical attack; it was a devastating blow that combined Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and all of Kaido's power into a single point and released in an instant.
The force of this strike was enough to level a mountain.
Bai Yu took a deep breath.
Instead of enveloping the body with Susanoo, the power of Susanoo is compressed into the sword, so that every strike carries the destructive power of Susanoo.
Kaido's Eight Precepts slammed down.
Bai Yu slashed out with his longsword.
The knife and the stick clashed once more.
But this time, there was no sound.
It's not that there's no sound, but rather that the sound is too loud, exceeding the limits of what the human ear can hear.
A white light exploded from the point of impact, illuminating the entire night sky.
Then came the shockwave.
A devastating shockwave spread outwards, engulfing everything in its path.
Rocks on the ground were vaporized, ruins were crushed into powder, and even distant building remains were blown into the air.
The shockwave spread for a full kilometer before gradually dissipating.
When the white light dissipated and the dust settled, a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter appeared on the battlefield.
In the center of the pit, Bai Yu and Kaido were still facing off.
Kaido's dragon claws gripped the Eight Precepts tightly, but his hands were trembling.
His dragon eyes stared at Bai Yu, and for the first time, a hint of seriousness appeared in his pupils.
Kaido looked down at his chest.
There was a shallow knife mark there.
The knife wound wasn't deep; it only grazed his scales, causing a trickle of blood to seep out.
But that knife mark was made by Bai Yu with the tip of his knife during a gap in the parry.
In that level of collision, under that overwhelming force, Bai Yu still had the strength to fight back.
Kaido remained silent for a moment.
Then he smiled.
It wasn't a wild laugh, but a calm laugh, a laugh of approval.
"Uchiha Hakuha".
97
"You are very strong."
"Better than most people I've ever met."
He paused.
"but----"
A cold glint flashed in his dragon eyes.
"You think this is all I've got?"
Kaido's body began to change.
His muscles swelled, his scales became denser, and the lightning coiled around his horns turned blood red.
His aura rose again.
Bai Yu's Mangekyou Sharingan detected this change.
Kaido had been holding back his strength all along.
He was enjoying the fight.
He was testing Bai Yu's limits.
Now, he's getting serious.
"Come on, Uchiha Hakuha."
Kaido's voice turned low, like a whisper from hell.
"Let me see if you can handle my attack—"
He didn't finish his sentence.
Because Bai Yu smiled.
It was a very faint smile, so faint that it was almost invisible.
But Kaido saw it.
His Observation Haki suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.
wrong.
Something's wrong.
He looked down at his chest.
That shallow knife mark.
The white feather left a knife mark in the gap of the parry.
Kaido's Observation Haki was roaring wildly.
wrong.
Something's wrong.
He looked down at his chest.
That shallow knife mark.
The white feather left a knife mark in the gap of the parry.
That knife wound from which only a trace of blood seeped.
At this moment, the knife mark was emitting a faint blue light.
It's very light.
So faint as to be almost invisible.
But Kaido saw it.
His Observation Haki told him that the blue light shouldn't exist.
"What is this?!"
Kaido's dragon eyes shrank to the size of pinpoints.
Bai Yu did not answer.
His Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, the patterns deep within his pupils spinning like windmills.
He flicked his finger lightly across the blade.
"clang"
A crisp whistling sound rang out.
The sound was very soft, as soft as a drop of water falling into a deep pool.
But to Kaido, the sound was like thunder.
Because with that clang of the blade, the entire world before his eyes changed.
No.
It hasn't changed.
Instead, it cracked.
It was like a mirror shattering in the middle, with cracks spreading outwards, each crack emitting a blinding white light.
Kaido's dragon eyes widened suddenly.
He wanted to unleash the Eight Precepts, to release Conqueror's Haki, to do something.
But he couldn't move his body.
It wasn't because he was restrained, but because his brain was overwhelmed by a massive amount of information in that instant.
He saw—
Bai Yu stood in three different positions.
He saw—
He threw his eight precepts in three different directions.
He saw one
There are three moons in the sky.
He saw—
There are three pits in the ground.
Every scene was so real, so real that even his Observation Haki told him that it was all true.
But Kaido knew.
It's impossible that everything is true.
Bai Yu's voice came from all directions, not from the left, not from the right, not from the front, not from the back, but from every direction, from every grain of air, from every ray of light.
"A hallucination?! When? Or is it because of his strange eyes? —"
"From the very beginning."
Kaido fell silent.
He closed his eyes.
Then, he opened his eyes.
What burned in the dragon's eyes was not anger, nor fear, but fighting spirit.
An even more fervent fighting spirit.
"interesting."
"This is very interesting, Uchiha Shiraha."
"Your abilities, your strength—"
"It all gets my blood pumping!"
His body began to swell.
It's not the kind of expansion that comes in a human-beast form, but a more thorough and violent expansion.
Blue scales emerged from beneath his skin, each scale as if cast from steel, with edges as sharp as knives.
His bones were cracking, and his body was stretching rapidly.
His limbs transformed into dragon claws, which were as thick as mountains.
Full dragon form.
The true form of Kaido of the Beasts.
It was not the human-beast form chosen to balance speed and power as before, but a pure, destructive Azure Dragon body that staked everything on power.
"roar-!!!"
A dragon's roar tore through the night sky.
The sound, carrying the oppressive aura of Conqueror's Haki, spread outwards, shattering all the ruins within hundreds of meters.
The dark clouds in the sky were torn to shreds by the sound waves, and moonlight poured down, illuminating the enormous creature that hovered in the air.
Kaido the Azure Dragon.
It is over 300 meters long.
Dragon's eyes, like two blood moons, coldly gazed down at the white feathers on the ground.
"Kid."
Kaido's voice came from the dragon's mouth, like rolling thunder.
He opened his dragon mouth, and crimson flames began to gather between his fangs.
"If you think you can defeat me like this, you're being incredibly naive!"
"Heat Breath—!!!"
A crimson beam of light shot out from the dragon's mouth, exceeding ten meters in diameter, with a temperature high enough to instantly vaporize steel.
This attack wasn't aimed at Bai Yu, but rather at a radius of several hundred meters around him.
Indiscriminate attack.
Since we can't see the real enemy, let's destroy everything in front of us.
Bai Yu's eyes sharpened.
His body disappeared from the spot.
Instantaneous movement technique.
The next second, he appeared hundreds of meters in the air, looking directly at Kaido's dragon head.
"Susanoo."
His Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly.
A massive surge of chakra erupted from his body, coalescing into a gigantic skeleton around him.
The skeleton grows rapidly, producing muscles, skin, and armor.
Susanoo - Complete Form.
A black giant, over a hundred meters tall, appeared in the air, with wings on its back and a long sword made of chakra in its hand.
The giant's armor was wrapped in black Conqueror's Haki, intertwined with chakra to form a strange pattern.
Bai Yu stood between Susanoo's eyebrows, arms crossed, looking down at the Azure Dragon opposite him.
"Is this your true strength?"
Kaido's voice was filled with excitement.
"Is this your true strength?!"
Bai Yu did not answer.
His Susanoo swung its long sword, slashing towards Kaido's dragon neck.
Kaido's dragon claws came at him, five sharp claws wrapped with blood-red Conqueror's Haki lightning.
"clang--!!!"
The knife and claws clashed.
This collision was more violent than any of the previous ones.
The shockwave spread outwards, tearing the clouds hundreds of meters away into pieces.
A deep gash was left on Kaido's dragon claw.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound, staining the blue scales red.
Kaido did not retreat.
His dragon tail swept across, aiming for Susanoo's waist.
Susanoo grabbed the dragon's tail with its other hand.
The giant's hand collided with the dragon's tail, producing a dull thud.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, locked in a struggle.
Shiraha's Susanoo stood with its feet in the air, chakra forming a foothold beneath its feet.
Kaido's dragon body twisted in the air, every muscle straining.
"Not bad strength!"
Kaido roared, and his dragon mouth opened again.
