Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Only he would dare to say that.

Although the little people are simple, they are not stupid.

After quickly figuring out what had happened, Leo jumped onto a rock and bowed deeply to Luffy, saying, "Thank you so much, Straw Hat! Please be careful!"

The other little people followed suit, bowing and thanking them before leaving.

The aura was terrifying.

pat.

A sound came from afar.

Immediately following was a thunderous, muffled sound as rocks and soil were violently ripped apart.

At the edge of the giant pit, a massive hand covered in bluish-black scales suddenly reached out, its five fingers digging deep into the ground.

The smoke and dust in the pit were dispersed by a violent aura.

Then a pair of long horns resembling those of a horned dragon appeared, and a pair of scarlet dragon eyes burning with rage and madness lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure appeared in front of Luffy.

The complete appearance of Kaido of the Beasts.

He had a burly build, long black hair, a beard like dragon whiskers that danced wildly in the wind, and a dragon scale tattoo on his left arm.

His upper body was completely naked, revealing terrifying muscles honed through countless trials, and the huge X-shaped scar on his right abdomen was exceptionally conspicuous.

A shimenori rope was tied around his waist, from which hung the hem of a purple top and two gold chains. His wide, dark green trousers were stretched taut by his explosive leg muscles, and a purple fur cape fluttered behind him.

He carried a huge gourd with the character "天" (heaven) printed on it.

His height was even taller than Whitebeard's.

Just by standing there, a terrifying aura swept out like a tsunami!

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by this aura, becoming even lower, with lightning flashing wildly and a torrential downpour imminent.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the gloomy face looked even more terrifying.

Kaido raised his hand and wiped the dirt and a trace of blood from his face. His scarlet dragon eyes locked onto Luffy at the edge of the forest.

Eyes facing each other.

The air seemed to freeze.

It seems Kaido is very angry right now.

"You brat! How dare you!"

Kaido roared angrily.

The final "ah" roared out as a violent sonic wave, and the sound waves burst forth with visible force!

Centered on Kaido, the surrounding matter was swept up by the shockwave and turned into dust!

A layer of ground was scraped away, revealing fresh soil underneath.

who is he?!

"Kaido is probably the strongest in a one-on-one fight," people say.

This saying is widely circulated in the New World.

As the strongest creature among all living beings on land, sea, and air, Kaido's dignity and reputation are built upon countless terrifying feats of combat:

As a pirate, he suffered seven defeats, yet he grew stronger with each battle.

He managed to escape from the Navy and the Four Emperors eighteen times in a single challenge.

He endured a thousand tortures and forty death sentences. Even if he were hanged, he would break the chains. Even if he were taken to the guillotine, he would shatter the blade. Even if he were stabbed with a spear, the spear would break.

He sank as many as nine massive prison ships, and no one could kill him, not even himself.

His bounty is a whopping 4,611.1 million Berries!

It's a full 1.1 billion more than Luffy's!

As a result, Luffy, who had only been at sea for a short time, grabbed him and tossed him around like trash, leaving him here.

This is completely shattering his dignity as one of the Four Emperors!

The Four Emperors cannot be challenged!

"Are you planning to kill me, kid?"

Kaido slowly raised his hand and grasped the massive spiked club that was stuck in the ground beside him. The bandages wrapped around the club moved without wind. "Can you do it? No one in the world can kill me!"

The moment the last word was uttered, the ground beneath his feet exploded!

The imposing, demon-like figure vanished in an instant.

Luffy's eyes flashed with a red light!

Observation Haki allows one to foresee the future!

Almost at the same instant Kaido disappeared, Luffy's figure also charged fiercely to the side and forward!

"You didn't die before only because you hadn't met me!"

Chapter 448 Luffy vs. Kaido, the Battle of Devil Fruit Awakening

Luffy's voice was as fast as his fist, and before Kaido could react, a blur appeared in front of him.

"Shockwave Fist!"

A fist crackling with black and red lightning slammed into Kaido's face.

The sound was deafening.

Kaido's expression twisted in pain.

With a loud bang, Kaido's massive body flew backward again.

It flew all the way to the center of the forest, where it crashed into a huge tree. The massive creature stopped flying and landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Luffy leaped into the air, his eyes slightly narrowed as he surveyed the enormous figure amidst the dust and mist.

This feeling is somewhat familiar.

I think I felt something similar back in God Valley, but that aura was too immature then, far less terrifying than it is now.

He has fought against many strong opponents.

I've fought quite a few purely physical powerhouses like Kaido, some of whom were even more difficult to deal with than the current Kaido. For example, when I was traveling through time with Amatsuki Toki, I encountered Harald who had turned to the dark side.

However, dealing with Harald at that time did not take much effort, because the corrupted Harald still had the will to fight against his own body. With the help of both inside and outside, it did not make things too difficult for Luffy.

only,

This guy is a completely self-aware enemy!

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing Kaido's enormous figure. He stood up, clutching his head, shook his head, and then casually pulled out his spiked club.

"Oh, Rong Rong Rong Rong! How arrogant you are!"

Kaido was clearly enraged by Luffy's words. His aura became incredibly terrifying, and he slammed his spiked club heavily into the ground, creating another deep crater. "You think you can kill me? Then come and try!"

"If you've also reached the pinnacle of this world, then let me see for myself! I'll personally weigh the true value of your position!"

With a roar, Kaido's aura surged once more, dark flames rising from his body, and a deep, Conqueror's Haki shadow faintly appearing behind him.

Luffy squinted.

Conqueror's Haki represents a person's will and aura!

Those who cannot remain calm in the face of such momentum are not strong.

"It's just Conqueror's Haki, right? It's not like everyone doesn't have it!"

As the dark shockwave swept towards him, his eyes widened, a flash of scarlet light passing through his pupils, and a terrifying red overlord aura also emerged.

Boom!

The two forces' Conqueror's Haki, accompanied by black and red lightning, converged in the air, creating a violent energy turbulence at the point of contact. They quickly converged in mid-air to form two distinct boundaries. The lightning struck the ground, creating a huge crater and sending debris flying.

Domain formation.

At the edge of the domain, the shockwave transformed into a ring of air blades, sweeping across the distant forest and ruthlessly cutting off all obstacles!

Vivi and the others were absolutely right to worry. Monsters like the Sea Emperors are incredibly destructive, even if they don't actually fight.

Ordinary strong individuals don't even have the qualifications to enter this battlefield.

Click!

The ground beneath Luffy's feet was cracking inch by inch, but his body remained as steady as a rock.

Kaido leaned back slightly, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Is that kid's Conqueror's Haki?

"That's a very strong Conqueror's Haki."

Luffy grinned, "But that's not enough!"

hum!

The scarlet light in his eyes intensified once more!

The already intense confrontation escalated when Luffy's eyes flashed with a crimson light once more, and the red Conqueror's Haki lightning became even more aggressive, directly engulfing Kaido's Conqueror's Haki.

The crimson aftershocks of Conqueror's Haki swept through the forest behind Kaido, blasting out several deep craters.

"Yours is really strong too, I admit it!"

Kaido withstood a portion of the aftershocks of Conqueror's Haki, his body swaying slightly, but a more unrestrained laugh appeared on his face, "You and Shanks have some connection, don't you? Oh rumble rumble rumble! You're quite similar in terms of Haki, aren't you? To stand at the top, you must have this kind of aptitude!"

"But yours is still far from perfect."
