At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 196 Flying Sword Slaying the Dragon (4k)

Compared to Kaido.

Lin Mo is the true ultimate being, but along his journey, very few people have been able to harm him.

Lin Mo stretched his body, his bones cracking and popping, and looked calmly at Kaido.

Among the Four Emperors, Kaido's advantage lies in his incredibly strong physique, which makes him almost immortal.

At the level of the Four Emperors, he is not that powerful in terms of attack, because top-level Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki are just basic requirements.

Even if his attacks could harm Lin Mo, Lin Mo could heal instantly.

In fact, strictly speaking, Kaido can only be considered a high-ranking armored warrior at best. For true immortality, we have to look at Lin Mo.

"It's been a long time since I've had such an exhilarating battle."

Kaido stared intently at Lin Mo, his eyes surging with fierce fighting spirit.

Since that battle more than 20 years ago, Kaido has become addicted to drinking.

Over the past twenty years, he has been drunk more often than sober.

Even today, Kaido still thinks back to the great battle he fought against Kozuki Oden.

That was the only dishonorable battle he ever won in his life.

Just like today,
In that battle back then, he fought Kozuki Oden to a standstill, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

He considered himself invincible, but during the battle, Kozuki Oden slashed him, leaving two indelible, huge scars.

The moment he was slashed down from the sky by Kozuki Oden, he felt the fear of death for the first time.

However, at that moment, Kozuki Oden suddenly hesitated and became distracted. This was an opening, and perhaps out of his body's instinctive fear of death, he delivered a fatal blow in his will to survive, and Oden fell down.

Kaido felt extremely guilty afterward, and even killed his wife, Kurozumi, who had used underhanded tactics.

But isn't that how the world of One Piece is? The strong live, the weak die.

The one who survives is the strong one; the process doesn't matter.

But this time, despite his immense pride, he couldn't convince himself with this.

After Rocks, the strongest man on this sea back then was called Whitebeard.

Kaido knew the gap between himself and Whitebeard, but he didn't think it was insurmountable. He believed that surpassing Whitebeard was only a matter of time.

More than twenty years later, he did indeed catch up with Whitebeard and, like him, became a ruler of the New World.

But the gap between her and that man from that battle back then could never be bridged.

All Kaido remembered was what the man said to him before he died: "Just try to become stronger."

From then on, Kaido continued to hone himself, becoming stronger and stronger. His dragon scales grew harder and his dragon bones straighter, but his dragon soul could never return to what it was twenty years ago.

Until today's battle with Lin Mo, Kaido has finally awakened the lost dragon soul once again.

At this moment, Kaido only wanted to have a good fight with Lin Mo.

Nothing else matters.

Lin Mo watched as Kaido of the Beasts charged towards him, and the two engaged in fierce combat once again.

Kaido completely abandoned defense and adopted a fighting style that traded injury for life.

His Devil Fruit ability, Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon, allows him to control lightning, enabling him to wield the power of thunder.

Kaido uses the power of lightning to activate his physical body, and many of his techniques are related to lightning.

Therefore, Kaido's speed is not slow at all, but rather ridiculously fast.

Although it's still not as powerful as Lin Mo's Three Thousand Thunderclaps, Kaido can basically withstand ten attacks from Lin Mo, while he can land one hit on Lin Mo.

The epic battle between Kaido and Lin Mo shook the entire earth violently; not only the port, but the whole of Dressrosa seemed to tremble for a moment.

The remaining survivors of the Beasts Pirates hid far away, trembling all over.

Faced with the power displayed by Lin Mo and Kaido of the Beasts, they had no power to resist and their faces were filled with fear and timidity.

The thought that they had actually followed Jack to cause trouble for Lin Mo made him want to die.

As for Kaido

Despite the increasing number of wounds on his body, his bare upper body was stained red with blood.

But Kaido burst into laughter with excitement.

Because this time, it wasn't those shallow wounds that couldn't leave a mark on him.

The new wounds Lin Mo inflicted on him covered the two old wounds that Guangyue Yutian had left on his chest.

"Emperor Yan, Lin Mo, is this all you've done?"

"For a moment, I even thought I was fighting Whitebeard Oden."

"good very good."

"This is the kind of battle I've been wanting!"

This is the first time since the two sides started fighting that Kaido has not called Lin Mo "brat".

Kaido acknowledged Lin Mo's strength.

That unparalleled power in a direct confrontation touched upon the deep-seated obsession within him.

At this moment, he sincerely believed it.

As long as we defeat Lin Mo, we can break free from the inner demons of that year!

This proves that even without that old hag, Kuroko, he could have defeated Kozuki Oden.

Looking at Kaido, whose face was contorted with excitement, Lin Mo said expressionlessly, "I never said this was my full strength."

"Kaido, if this is all the strength you have, then let's end it here today."

Kaido's excited laughter came to an abrupt halt.

"What do you mean?"

Kaido looked at Lin Mo with slight surprise.

Being able to confront him head-on, and even suppress him at one point, was not even his full strength?

"literal meaning."

Lin Mo raised his head, looked at Kaido, and said calmly.

"."

Upon hearing this, Kaido fell silent.

Amidst the heightened excitement, some things that were supposed to appear finally emerged.

That is anger.

Are you underestimating me?

Kaido looked at Lin Mo, and a tangible rage slowly surfaced in his eyes.

He believed that a man like Lin Mo wouldn't engage in empty talk.

In other words, Lin Mo may not have actually used his full strength in his attack just now.

This made Kaido feel underestimated.

"I didn't underestimate you."

"You've underestimated the world."

Lin Mo shook his head, then calmly said, "Kaido, this world is vast, far beyond your imagination."

The world Lin Mo refers to is the entire multiverse.

It is the real world.

In Lin Mo's view, Kaido was just a fish trapped in a well.

Before truly clashing with Kaido, Lin Mo did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the Four Emperors.

Now, he is absolutely certain of one thing:
The Four Emperors can be killed!

Lin Mo made a sword incantation with one hand, and twelve flying swords flew out from his body, stopping neatly in front of him. The longest of the twelve flying swords was no more than the middle finger, and the shortest was only the thumb.

In Kaido's eyes, it was no different from a toothpick, but he felt a sense of unease.

Lin Mo extended an index finger and gently flicked the hilt of the first small blue sword on the left, calmly saying, "Break all."

next moment.

The cyan flying sword suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards Kaido.

Even when the flying sword was still several feet away, Kaido felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows and a sense that no matter how he tried to dodge, he would never be able to avoid the assassination attempt.

All futures foreseen by Observation Haki cannot be avoided.

Since we can't avoid it.

Come on then!

Kaido revealed a ferocious smile, his spiked club crackling with lightning, and finally swung it forward, unleashing a slash-like impact.

"King Kong Dysprosium!"

The cyan flying sword slashed through the void, colliding with Kaido's club-shaped strike.

Kongo-Kabuto couldn't even hold out for a moment. Kaido's slash was directly cut by the blue sword, splitting it in two like scissors tearing silk.

The cyan flying sword emitted a sharp whistling sound as it pierced the air. With a "whoosh," Kaido felt the spot between his eyebrows throb even more intensely, and a chill swept over him.

He raised his arm to block in front of himself.

The dragon scales shattered.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere.

Only then did the flying slashes, now cut in two, strike the distant buildings.

Two loud bangs were heard.

This flying sword, forged from the Fruit of Cutting, was the one Lin Mo used to take Vergo's life from a thousand miles away.

Its ability to cut through everything is especially effective against people with high defenses.

Lin Mo extended his middle finger again and tapped it with two fingers together, "Snow White, Brocade."

Two more flying swords emitted light and flew towards Kaido in the distance.

Kaido, who had just dodged a fatal blow, suddenly noticed a snowflake falling in front of him.

Click! !
When this inconspicuous snowflake gently landed on him, it suddenly bloomed and transformed into a dazzling and beautiful ice flower.

His arm was immediately frozen.

Then, one after another.

Endless white snowflakes drifted down from the sky, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene, yet containing a terrifying, biting cold that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
"Is it the freezing ability this time?"

Kaido's face showed surprise.

The snowflakes melted instantly upon landing on Kaido, and the chill spread and connected, freezing Kaido completely in an instant!
"You think you can kill me like this?!"

Kaido roared angrily.

He had seen all sorts of methods, from fire and ice to lightning strikes and axe chisels.

The next moment, the huge block of ice shattered with a roar, scattering ice fragments everywhere.

At the same time, the attack of the third flying sword landed.

A net woven from countless sword energies descended upon Kaido.

The moment the ice blocks touch the net, they are cut into small, smooth, flat squares.

Immediately afterwards, countless intertwined sword marks appeared on Kaido's body, and blood gushed out like it was free.

With such an exaggerated amount of bleeding, an ordinary person would have been dead long ago.

Looking up, one could see that countless fine sword marks, as thin as cow's hair, had suddenly appeared on the ground around Kaido.
Only Kaido's defense was strong enough; anyone else would have been cut into pieces long ago, just like the ground beneath his feet, by those millions of tiny, sharp sword energies.

The abilities of these two flying swords are derived from Naraku's Snow-Snow Fruit and Doflamingo's String-String Fruit.

This was also the first time Lin Mo had used the twelve flying swords.

Its power was greater than he had imagined.

Kaido knelt on one knee. With his vast knowledge, he immediately recognized that Lin Mo's flying swords were weapons made from Devil Fruits.

To Kaido's astonishment, he sensed the presence of seastone on these flying swords.

Devil Fruits and Seastone?!
Kaido's pupils dilated violently, his face filled with disbelief.

In addition, these flying swords were imbued with Lin Mo's Haki and other special energies, which made it easy to break through Kaido's indestructible defense.

"This is the final blow, Kaido."

Lin Mo flicked his fingers.

"May your power be boundless, and may your wishes be fulfilled!"

The twelve flying swords reunited, and under the influence of the flying sword Ruyi, whose spirit was a weapon-devil fruit, they merged into a giant flying sword during flight, heading towards Kaido.

"I won't lose a second time!"

Kaido suddenly stood up, his face contorted with rage, looking like a demon.

Completely ignoring his horrific injuries, he suddenly raised his spiked club, wreathed in purple lightning, and assumed the starting stance of the Thunderous Bagua.

A red light shone in his fierce eyes.

Its fierce, beast-like aura burst forth unrestrainedly, blowing the surrounding sand and gravel far away.

The horizontal spiked club, wreathed in purple lightning, exuded a chilling aura of danger.

This is the last dignity of the Four Emperors who reign supreme at the top of the world!

A fierce look appeared on Kaido's face.

Whether you cut it or freeze it.
Just wipe out all the unpleasant things—

The purple lightning crackling around the spiked club was compressed to its limit in an instant!
"Great Weed Thunder Gossip!"

Kaido roared and swung his spiked club fiercely at the giant flying sword.

This is Kaido's strongest attack in his dragon form, named after Yamantaka.

He wraps Conqueror's Haki around an iron rod, grips it with both hands, and strikes his opponent at incredible speed. It is an enhanced technique of Thunder Bagua, where the lightning, condensed to its extreme, is like a nuclear explosion.

In the original work, the battle on Onigashima takes place.

This attack even created a mushroom cloud effect over a huge area.

"Wanjun!"

Lin Mo whispered.

The flying sword "Wan Jun," whose spirit is the Tun Tun Fruit, provides this enormous flying sword with immense power.

boom!
Two incredibly terrifying forces collided.

The terrifying aftershocks directly destroyed the Beasts Pirates' ships along the harbor coast, including the Mammoth, and none of the pirates on board survived.

Even in a real fight, getting involved in a battle of this level would still mean certain death.

On the Dressrosa side...

Fortunately, Law realized something was wrong early on and used his Op-Op Fruit ability to teleport everyone away; otherwise, they would have ended up like the Beasts Pirates.

Morgans, who was willing to risk his life for news, has finally paid the price this time.

Injured by the aftershocks of the battle, he coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away. Feathers fell from his body, and his fate was unknown.

On the field.

Kaido's spiked club collided violently with the massive flying sword that came hurtling through the air. His attack, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, not only failed to destroy the flying sword in front of him, but instead he felt a tremendous force transmitted along the spiked club. The spiked club "Eight Precepts," a Supreme Grade Sword, shattered into countless pieces, which shot out in all directions, and Kaido was also thrown away.

The giant flying sword only dimmed slightly. Lin Mo gently waved his right hand, and the giant flying sword instantly disintegrated, transforming back into the original twelve flying swords, which returned to Lin Mo's side.

A flash of light, and it vanished.
