Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 458 That guy... is learning Kaido's fighting style!

"This is…"

"Conqueror's Haki!"

Many people witnessed the clash of two Conqueror's Haki!

No one expected that the battle between Kaido of the Beasts and Kagura Akihara would awaken the Conqueror's Haki within this Marine Vice Admiral!

Many people saw Kaido of the Beasts being suddenly punched away by Akihara Kagura, and also heard Akihara Kagura's impassioned declaration about the Navy!

Any Marine who hears Kagura Akihara's declaration and witnesses her knocking a Yonko flying with a single punch will involuntarily feel an urge to sacrifice their life for justice!

"This is truly exhilarating..."

Kizaru tilted his head slightly, glanced at the figure standing on the ground, and a helpless smile rose in his heart: "If only Sakazuki really said that..."

pity…

Others are unaware of the truth.

Even Akainu, far away on the other side, would not know that another famous quote that makes Celestial Dragons grit their teeth had been placed on his head.

At least everyone present believed that Akainu was very determined, and that the admiral would surely eliminate all evil on the seas in the name of justice, including the evil Celestial Dragons!

"call…"

Kaido of the Beasts stood up and walked step by step towards Akihara Kagura. Staring at the Marine Vice Admiral in the distance, he said in a deep voice, "So he's even awakened Conqueror's Haki? That's quite rare in the Marines..."

The Conqueror's Haki is as numerous as carp crossing a river on the sea.

However, it's not very common within the Navy. So far, the only known Navy officer with Conqueror's Haki is Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, that old man who champions the justice of ruling the world...

But...

Akihara Kagura is clearly a novice.

Because this guy's Conqueror's Haki was still being released outwards, he clearly hadn't learned how to control it yet...

"You're not bad either..."

Kagura Akihara readily accepted Kaido's praise and walked towards him step by step: "There aren't many Sea Emperors on the high seas..."

"snort…"

Kaido exhaled a puff of hot air from his nostrils, showing no pleasure whatsoever at Akihara Kagura's praise. After all, having more than one Emperor of the Sea was already more than enough!

next moment!

The two enormous figures charged at each other once again!

A massive electric current emanated from Akihara Kagura's body, swirling around him and instantly transforming his body into a colossal Thor form!

Thor's fist was enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki!

A jet-black, gleaming aura of Haki also appeared on Kaido's arm!

Kaido of the Beasts and Thor's fists collided instantly!

Armament Haki clashed instantly, and the black and red arcs of Conqueror's Haki collided repeatedly on their fists. An even more terrifying shockwave swept across the island once again, and the two simply engaged in close combat, exchanging blows with each other!

"!!!"

Kaido of the Beasts slammed punch after punch at the lightning giant in front of him!

This vice admiral's Armament Haki was incredibly strong, able to withstand the intensity of his Armament Haki, and even resist the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki!

The fighting spirit here is truly astonishing!

As a result, other parts of the island also began to pay attention to this area, and many people realized that there was a Marine Vice Admiral who could rival Kaido of the Beasts!

Knocking on Bamboo Bar.

A flicker of surprise crossed Rayleigh's eyes, which quickly turned into a smile. He glanced at the Straw Hat crew beside him, then at Shakky, and said with a light laugh, "Looks like the Navy has some rising stars too!"

"This kind of combat power..."

Shakky, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, blew smoke rings as she looked at Rayleigh and couldn't help but complain, "He can't be called a rising star anymore, can he? He came from the East Blue with Luffy and his gang of brats, yet he's gotten this far so quickly..."

This level of combat power…

Even in Gol D. Roger's time, it had a place!

To be honest, if the Konoha Pirates hadn't emerged from the pirate world, the world's situation would definitely have tilted in favor of the Navy because of Akihara Kagura's appearance!

no way…

A general-level combatant...

Even a general capable of rivaling the Four Emperors…

Although Shakky knew in her heart that the Straw Hat crew were also very talented, their growth rate was too slow, far behind that of Akihara Kagura!

"We need to hurry up and train Luffy..."

Rayleigh understood Shakky's meaning, and simply chuckled as he continued, "After all, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is among the most powerful Logia-type Devil Fruits..."

"However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is easily countered by Luffy's Devil Fruit ability, so these two kids seem to be natural rivals..."

so similar.

One is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which allows for extremely rapid growth and immediate combat capability, making her a likely candidate to become a Marine Admiral. At Akihara Kagura's age, she might even become a Fleet Admiral!

On the surface, it is a rubber fruit, but its growth rate is currently very slow. Once it awakens, it will possess extraordinary fighting power.

"Huh?"

Luffy completely misunderstood Rayleigh's meaning and quickly explained, "Rayleigh, my abilities can't counter Kagura!"

"You just haven't discovered it yet..."

Rayleigh shook his head, patted Luffy on the shoulder, and looked up at the battleground where Rayleigh and Kaido were clashing: "We... huh? How is this possible!"

"!!!"

A look of surprise suddenly flashed in Rayleigh's eyes!

The center of the battlefield.

After the initial resistance, Kagura Akihara's Thunder Giant found itself in a vulnerable position, being beaten up, just as the battle was about to stabilize...

After all, Kaido of the Beasts possessed a high level of Armament Haki and advanced Conqueror's Haki, which allowed him to quickly gain the upper hand and suppress Akihara Kagura in battle!

but…

Akihara Kagura is not without the power to fight back!

On the battlefield, the Thunder Giant threw a punch at Kaido of the Beasts. Black and red arcs of Conqueror's Haki wrapped around its fist, and the powerful attack shocked Kaido of the Beasts!

"That guy... is studying..."

Rayleigh, who had been observing the battlefield, was somewhat shocked.

Rayleigh always considered himself quite proficient in the use of Haki, and he could very keenly see that Akihara Kagura was learning during the battle!

"That's normal..."

"That brat's Observation Haki is quite impressive; it's not impossible that he used it to observe how Kaido used Conqueror's Haki to bind Kaido..."

Shakky wasn't particularly surprised by this, and casually remarked, "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability amplifies Observation Haki beyond measure. Any user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit possesses Observation Haki second only to Roger's 'Hear the Voice of All Things'..."

Xia Qi is an intelligence expert who knows a great deal of information.

Therefore, Shakky has some knowledge of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, or rather, she has some knowledge of most Devil Fruits.

the other side.

Red-haired Shanks, on the other hand, was extremely safe.

Because when this sea emperor met Figarand Grimm, he had already decided to give up on taking Vegapunk.

The World Government and the Celestial Dragons are already in a very disadvantageous situation, and they even need his help as the Emperor of the Sea to fight against the Konoha Pirates.

perhaps…

Only Vegapunk has the potential to solve the Konoha Pirates' problem.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shanks, in order to maintain a balance in the sea and to give the World Government a stronger force to counterbalance the Konoha Pirates, decided to let the World Government take Vegapunk away.

but…

Can anyone tell him...?

What happened to Figaland Greenemon?

"Your arm..."

Red-haired Shanks looked at Figarand Grindelwald's empty shoulders, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. How long had it been since they'd been apart?

How...

His arm was broken too?

Shanks glanced at the spot where his arm was severed, then at Figarand Grindelwald, a string of questions swirling in his mind.

The Figarand family…

Are we all destined to lose our arms?

"I got bitten by a dog..."

Figarand Greene snorted coldly.

"Navy..."

Red-Haired Shanks was well aware of the Celestial Dragons' attitude towards the Navy, and he quickly looked towards the direction of the Navy Vice Admiral on the island who had awakened Conqueror's Haki.

just…

They all heard it too.

That vice admiral will follow Sakazuki in upholding absolute justice, eradicating any evil in this world, including even the Celestial Dragons…

"Hmph, that Sakazuki guy..."

Figarand Greene's face couldn't help but show a hint of murderous intent; his annoyance and anger towards the Navy had reached its peak: "And that brat named Akihara Kagura..."

"..."

Shanks, the red-haired man, couldn't help but furrow his brow.

This isn't a good idea...

At this point, the World Government and the Navy have a falling out. If they were to split up, wouldn't their already stretched fighting strength be further reduced?

"Celestial Dragons..."

Red-haired Shanks looked at Figarand Grindelwald, sighed, and said, "You're no longer the World Noble you once were..."

Otherwise...

Even Sakazuki wouldn't dare say he wanted to eliminate the Celestial Dragons...

Since the Konoha Pirates caused the Celestial Dragons' status to plummet, it was only a matter of time before dissent against them emerged within the World Government. It just didn't expect it to happen so quickly…

Shanks felt a pang of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and awe). The Akainu who had previously been so restrained by Shanks and Doflamingo, both Celestial Dragons, was now boldly declaring his intention to eliminate them…

"A master is always a master."

Figarand Greene dismissed this argument with a sinister look: "A dog... will always be a dog. A dog that bites its master must be killed."

"..."

Red-haired Shanks, seeing that Figarand Grindelwald didn't seem inclined to listen to advice, could only slowly shake his head, offering no comment on his statement.

At this time...

The Navy has begun to harbor disloyal intentions towards the Celestial Dragons…

They actually think they can suppress the whole world!

Eight hundred years of rule over this sea has made the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise so enamored with the glory of the World Nobles that they have forgotten how to face adversity...

"Hey, Shanks..."

Ben Beckman called to Shanks, the Red-Haired, and said in a deep voice, "Check the situation over there, see if anything has changed..."

"Um?"

Red-Haired Shanks looked over in surprise, following Ben Beckman's words, and saw that the Thunder Giant and Kaido of the Beasts were already fighting fiercely on the battlefield!

Kaido of the Beasts punched the Thunder Giant in the face!

The giant Thor's hand was wrapped in a black and red electric current formed by the convergence of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, which instantly pierced through Kaido's shoulder!

it turns out…

It can break through Kaido's defenses!

That's one of the toughest defensive bodies in the world!

"What..."

Shanks, still somewhat puzzled by Ben Beckman's words, suddenly realized something was amiss, and his gaze turned serious: "Wait! That Vice Admiral is actually holding his own against Kaido! Didn't that guy just awaken Conqueror's Haki?"

"No…"

"That's not how it works..."

Ben Beckman shook his head, his eyes lowered slightly, his fingers gripping his cigarette tightly: "I witnessed it all. That vice admiral learned Kaido's Conqueror's Haki entangling technique while fighting Kaido..."

"From the awakening of Conqueror's Haki within his body to learning how to use Conqueror's Haki Entanglement to launch an attack from Kaido, the entire process took no more than ten minutes..."

"This talent..."

"That vice admiral is an absolute monster..."

"..."

Red-haired Shanks remained silent.

Yes.

This talent is even more astonishing than the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Who could learn a Yonko's fighting skills while fighting one? You can't exactly say that Kaido of the Beasts is a great teacher who teaches Conqueror's Haki, can you?

That kind of joke isn't funny at all!

The audience noticed all of this, and Kaido of the Beasts, who was at the center of the battle, was even more perceptive. He clearly sensed that Akihara Kagura was getting stronger and stronger!

This young navy officer... is getting stronger and stronger!

His combat skills using Conqueror's Haki are becoming more and more refined!

"Are you kidding me..."

Kaido of the Beasts stared in disbelief at the wounds on his body.

Kaido of the Beasts has always been extremely proud of his defensive capabilities, boasting a robust body that can withstand a fall from ten thousand meters without dying, and a body that has hardly been injured until now. Yet, it was easily torn apart by Akihara Kagura!

Shoulders...waist and abdomen...arms...

The three wounds pierced by black and red lightning served as a stark reminder to Kaido that his indestructible body was utterly insignificant in the face of Akihara Kagura…

Own…

We might lose!

How could I possibly lose!

"He's clearly just a kid who's only recently awakened his Conqueror's Haki..."

Kaido of the Beasts instantly transformed into a half-beast, roaring as he charged toward the lightning giant, clearly intending to tear it apart!

next moment!

Kaido's body transformed once again, becoming a gigantic divine dragon!

"Rising Dragon - Flame Eight Trigrams!"

A ball of flame burned on Kaido's dragon body, and he charged towards Akihara Kagura like a fire dragon, his forehead suddenly slamming into the body of the lightning giant!

Suddenly, a ball of flame appeared on Akihara Kagura's body, which was the body of the Thunder God. Lightning and flames flickered on Akihara Kagura's body and gathered into a fire giant that flickered with lightning, and its size became even larger!

Akihara Kagura also condensed a ball of black and red flame in her hand, and in an instant, she charged towards Kaido in his dragon form. The huge fire giant collided head-on with Kaido in his dragon form!

A tremendous explosion resounded throughout the heavens and the earth!

The flames from the collision between the fire giant and the fire dragon pierced the sky!

The fire giant, hundreds of meters tall, raised its hand and grabbed the fire dragon by the neck in mid-air, forcefully throwing the fire dragon down from the sky and crashing it straight to the ground. Instantly, a raging inferno rose from the island!

Teacher Kai...

I'm talking about Kaido-sensei...

Happy New Year, everyone!
