Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 239 Only domineering power can surpass everything! (Fourth update, 14 words, please vote!)

"White clothes, white hair..."

Kaido of the Beasts hoisted his spiked club, the Eight Precepts, onto his shoulder and frowned as he looked at Storm.

"What kind of ability is this? A magic trick?"

Ever since White Dragon defeated Hanafda, the Lizard King, the Beasts Pirates have been collecting information about this newly appointed Shichibukai.

After Haku entered the New World and defeated Doflamingo, the Beast Pirates updated their intelligence on Haku once again.

Kaido of the Beasts hadn't examined Haku's abilities in detail, but he at least knew that Haku was a user of the Paramecia-type Clay-Clay Fruit.

but……

Kaido of the Beasts stared at Storm opposite him, a few question marks appearing on his forehead.

Is this also a power of the Clay-Clay Fruit?

This level of "transformation" should be exclusive to Zoan-type Devil Fruits, right?

The only ability that Kaido of the Beasts could identify was the fiery cloud ribbons wrapped around Storm's body.

Under normal circumstances.

After a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user successfully awakens their powers, similar "flaming cloud ribbons" will appear on their body surface.

Moreover, these "flaming cloud ribbons" are often black.

Kaido of the Beasts had never seen a white, fiery cloud ribbon before.

Bai Long's hair, clothes, and the ribbons around his body...

Kaido of the Beasts became more and more confused.

Could these things have been "fabricated" by Bai Long using his abilities?

"Speaking of which, we were so focused on fighting that we realized there was something definitely off about White Dragon..."

Kaido of the Beasts glanced at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

"Like that blue-eyed white dragon, it can even unleash lightning, with power comparable to my heat breath... What's going on?"

Kaido of the Beasts pondered for a moment, but could not find any answer.

He decided to stop wasting that brain cell.

No matter what happened.

Let's finish this match first!

Kaido of the Beasts took a deep breath, and the surrounding air rushed into his body, causing his chest to bulge high.

"Heat Breath!"

The next moment, Kaido of the Beasts, in his dragon-man form, opened his blood-red maw and unleashed a scorching, intense flame breath at the location of Strom.

Kaido's "Heat Breath" has an extremely high flight speed.

In the blink of an eye.

This blazing, orange-red flame flew right up to Storm.

Storm slowly stretched out his hands, and a large amount of white clay appeared out of thin air in front of him, forming an enormous white shield.

Clay Giant Shield!

boom--

The terrifying "heat breath," powerful enough to easily melt a mountain, struck the "clay giant shield" with perfect accuracy, instantly unleashing a loud boom.

But upon closer inspection, the intense "heat breath" that could melt rocks and melt metal was unable to harm the seemingly ordinary clay shield, only scorching it until it was red-hot.

Storm stretched out his right hand, and white clay surged forth, extending and stretching his arm until he grasped the giant clay shield that had been scorched red by Kaido's "heat breath".

It's like wielding an enormous fly swatter.

Storm unleashed his power, wielding his massive, red-hot clay shield and slamming it down on Kaido of the Beasts.

However, Kaido of the Beasts had already observed Storm's actions, and of course he wouldn't be hit by such "slow" movements.

Kaido of the Beasts gripped his spiked club, the Eight Precepts, and swung it heavily forward, instantly creating a wide and massive cylindrical shockwave in front of the club.

"Diamond-shaped Dagger!"

The shockwave unleashed by Kaido of the Beasts was no less fast than the "heat breath" he had just exhaled.

The powerful shockwave traveled across most of the ocean to reach Storm's clay shield and slammed into its surface.

boom!!

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The shockwave unleashed by Kaido of the Beasts failed to shake Storm's clay shield. Instead, the shield's reaction force shattered the shield, turning it into a fierce gust of wind.

The giant clay shield, which only created ripples on its surface like ocean waves, continued to slam downwards, striking Kaido's body directly.

boom--

Kaido of the Beasts swung his spiked club, attempting to block the clay shield.

However, the power transmitted from the clay shield caused Kaido of the Beasts to change his expression.

"The white dragon's power has increased..."

This idea had just popped into Kaido's mind.

The vast, boundless clay shield struck his body directly.

Like swatting a fly, the clay shield sent Kaido of the Beasts crashing into the vast ocean below.

The incredible power of the clay shield acted on Kaido's body, making his descent extremely fast, like a meteorite falling from the sky, easily creating rings of white shockwaves.

Kaido glanced at the sea below out of the corner of his eye, and then he abruptly exited his dragon-man form and entered his massive blue dragon form.

The orange-red flames lifted the Azure Dragon's body, halting its downward descent.

But Kaido of the Beasts did not stop there.

Suddenly, Kaido, who had transformed into a blue dragon, began to spin rapidly. His enormous blue dragon body coiled up like a giant spinning top.

"Sea Tornado!"

Kaido of the Beasts' supersonic spinning created giant tornadoes around him.

The tornadoes whipped up seawater from the ocean below, transforming themselves into numerous "sea tornadoes."

Under Kaido's control, these sea tornadoes rushed towards the white dragon on the opposite side.

Flames will heat the clay, and fire attacks will have no effect on the clay.

Surely such a large amount of seawater would be able to break up the clay?

One after another, the seawater tornadoes shot into the sky.

Storm ignored him, his body only crackling with black and red arcs of electricity.

[Conqueror's Haki] surged from his body, flowing continuously across his surface, completely binding his body together and isolating him from the perception of [Observation Haki] from the outside world.

[Kill by sight!]

Storm isolated himself from the perception of Observation Haki, and then unleashed another ability.

Clay falls from the sky!

A series of peculiar fluctuations emanated from the space above Kaido's head.

Clumps of white clay flowed out of this space like liquid.

Storm's body merged with the clay, and in an instant, he passed through the encirclement of several sea tornadoes, appearing directly in front of Kaido of the Beasts.

Under the special effect of "Observation Kill" of [Conqueror's Haki].

Kaido of the Beasts was completely unaware of Storm's approach.

As Storm approached Kaido of the Beasts, he raised his right hand high, and endless clay surged forth, expanding his right fist into a giant's fist.

"The Giant's Fist!"

Storm swung his right fist heavily towards Kaido of the Beasts below.

Simultaneously imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, the "Conqueror's Giant Fist" carried an overwhelming and unstoppable force, directly slamming into the phantom beast Azure Dragon below.

Boom boom—

Caught completely off guard, Kaido of the Beasts was struck directly on the head by Storm's "Giant Fist," nearly flattening his entire dragon head.

The enormous Azure Dragon, under the power of Storm's "Overlord Giant Fist," once again plummeted towards the sea below and crashed directly into it.

The seawater surged skyward, creating towering waves exceeding 100 meters in height.

Kaido of the Beasts plunges into the sea!

Storm retracted his fist, looking down at the crashing waves below, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Is the battle over? It doesn't seem so..."

There has been no word from the Grand Prize Cup.

Storm immediately activated his Observation Haki, probing the vast ocean below.

next moment.

Storm sensed the still powerful and astonishing aura hidden deep in the ocean.

Kaido of the Beasts fell into the sea, but he did not completely lose consciousness like a normal Devil Fruit user.

in contrast.

Kaido of the Beasts is now perfectly lucid.

His Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit doesn't actually originate from the "Dragon-Dragon Fruit," but rather from the much rarer Fish-Fish Fruit!

A fish-man who eats a Devil Fruit will be cursed by the sea and lose the ability to swim.

However, a normal person who eats the Fish-Fish Fruit, although also cursed by the sea, will not lose their life from "falling into the sea".

Users of the Fish-Fish Fruit can breathe in the ocean like real fish.

In fact.

If anyone notices.

Among Kaido's many titles, there is one that is very special—

"The strongest in the sea, land, and air!"

If the ocean truly has a fatal restraining effect on users of the Azure Dragon Fruit.

Then Kaido of the Beasts would no longer be known as the "strongest creature in the sea, land and air"!

Huge bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the New World.

A massive sea king respectfully escorted Kaido, who had transformed back into human form, out of the sea.

And at the very moment of leaving the sea.

Kaido of the Beasts then unleashed the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit, transforming into a massive, winding azure dragon.

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth, and blazing flames erupted from its gaping maw, quickly spreading throughout its entire body until it was completely ablaze.

It only took a breath or two.

"Azure Dragon Kaido" has become "Fire Dragon Kaido"!

The Azure Dragon, completely engulfed in flames, resembled a blazing torch, illuminating the surrounding environment.

"The Fire Dragon Torch!"

As early as when Kaido of the Beasts transformed into a dragon, Storm used his Observation Haki, which allows him to "read people's minds," to read Kaido's true thoughts.

Just as Kaido of the Beasts unleashed his flames, igniting himself...

Storm also unleashed the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit without reservation, transforming himself into a towering white clay giant.

Fire Dragon Torch VS Clay Giant!

"Mere clay! Not even half as good as mine!"

Kaido of the Beasts let out a deafening roar and charged straight into the sky.

"Rising Dragon - Flame Eight Trigrams!"

Storm swung his right fist at the fire dragon below, and a continuous stream of clay surged from the void, expanding his fist once again into a super giant fist with a diameter of about 100 meters.

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were wrapped around Storm's fist, further amplifying its already terrifying power.

"It's over! Kaido of the Beasts!"

Storm unleashed a powerful punch with all his might.

"Only domineering power can overcome everything!"

Nine-star Conqueror's Haki!

Eight-star Armament Haki!

An eight-star Clay Fruit!

The three abilities combined to create this world-destroying attack—

"Peerless Overlord Fist!"

Storm's "Peerless Overlord Fist" and Kaido's "Rising Dragon Flame Bagua" collided heavily.

Boom boom boom—

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, resounded.

Kaido of the Beasts' ultimate move, "Rising Dragon Flame Bagua".

After struggling against Storm's "Unrivaled Overlord Fist" for a while.

This raging fire dragon was once again blasted into the sea below by Storm.

Endless waves surged into the sky, revealing the dark brown seabed hidden beneath the ocean, where the sun never rises.

Kaido, transformed into a giant fire dragon, crashed through the sea, into the seabed, and deep into the earth, unleashing an unprecedented super tsunami in the New World.

An eight-star grand prize trophy suddenly appeared before Storm's eyes.
