The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Facing the charging Sakazuki, he charged forward without hesitation:

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!!"

"Haunted Dog!!!"

Boom!!!

Two powerful attacks collided, causing the ground to crack inch by inch, and the sky to blend into a clear purple-red boundary.

"So cool! The lava uncle is amazing!"

Yamato's eyes were filled with admiration when she saw that Sakazuki was evenly matched with Kaido right away.

Chapter 114 Peach Ashes: The Beginning and the End!

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Moria's eerie laughter rang out, and he appeared behind Kaido, wielding the Autumn Water.

Swish! ! !

Taking advantage of Kaido being entangled by Sakazuki, he directly slashed a half-meter-long wound on Kaido's back.

"Humph!"

Kaido snorted coldly, not even glancing at his own injuries, and increased the force of his spiked club, forcibly forcing Sakazuki back.

Even his physical strength was depleted after these rounds of exertion, and he couldn't help but catch his breath a few times.

However, he didn't have time to rest.

Completely ignoring Moria's weak attack, Kaido solemnly raised his head and looked towards Gion and Luther in the distance.

The two stood together, their eyes slightly closed, and a powerful aura was gathering around them.

This scene reminded Kaido of his time with the Rocks Pirates.

At that time, he and Big Mom had a pretty good relationship.

Their strength back then was far inferior to what it is now. Big Mom was a bit stronger than him, but at most they were only at the level of Quinn and Jhin.

However, if the two of them were to unleash their combined attacks, the power would be enough to make even Whitebeard and Shiki feel troubled.

If similar combined tactics...

Kaido couldn't even imagine how powerful two people of equal strength to him would be if they joined forces to unleash their attacks.

"We're going to have to fight this hard..."

Kaido grinned and glanced in the distance to the other side.

There, Kozuki Oden's body lay on the ground, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully.

Today, it seems that his fate and that of Kozuki Oden remain unchanged.

"Come on, kill me!!!"

Kaido suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, raising his spiked club high, and an aura of dominance emanated from him.

Stab it! ! !

A flash of red lightning streaked across the surface, and his Conqueror's Haki slowly began to wrap around the spiked club.

Having mastered the Conqueror's Haki should have been a good thing for Kaido.

But his opponent at this moment would not give him that chance.

Moria and Sakazuki attacked simultaneously, followed by Magma Fist and Shusui.

"drink!"

boom!!!

After a deafening roar, Kaido forcefully slammed down his spiked club, his powerful aura spreading outwards.

The three colors—black, crimson, and purplish-red—are clearly distinct, with purplish-red occupying almost half of the area.

"Tsk..."

Moria was forced to take a few steps back due to his superior strength, staring at Kaido with a face full of resentment.

After exchanging blows for a while, Sakazuki snorted coldly and took a step back to deflect the force.

Although the brief clash did not result in any injuries, Kaido managed to barely secure a victory by relying on his Conqueror's Haki.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Kaido laughed heartily, brandishing his spiked club with ferocious force, constantly imbuing it with Conqueror's Haki as he struck at Sakazuki and Moria.

Under his reckless fighting style, Moria and Sakazuki were put at a temporary disadvantage.

However, Sakazuki and Moria were clearly not in a hurry, fighting and retreating to wear down Kaido's stamina.

They're not facing two against one, they're facing four against one!

"retreat!"

Suddenly, Luther's calm voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Moria and Sakazuki immediately and in perfect unison retreated to the left and right.

At that moment, the momentum of Gion and Luther reached its peak.

Kaido turned to look in that direction, and Luther and Gion swung their swords almost simultaneously.

However, while Kinpira was wreathed in blood-red light and peach-colored sword energy, Ace was wreathed in Conqueror's Haki and solar fire.

"Peach Ashes: From Beginning to End!"

hum!

The two swung their swords simultaneously, and the two flying slashes merged together, transforming into an exceptionally deep gray slash.

Seemingly unassuming, Kaido, as the target, could feel every cell in his body trembling under such an attack, warning him to flee.

But... he can't escape...

"To die from such an attack is truly a blessing!"

Kaido laughed wildly and charged forward with a crazed expression. The Conqueror's Haki on his spiked club was at its peak as he fiercely met the slash.

boom!!!

The spiked club collided with the slash, and in just a moment, the spiked club, which was of the quality of a Great Grade Sword, was broken in two, and Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was also directly neutralized.

Stab it!

The slash cut across Kaido's body, stretching for thousands of meters, like a gray mountain rising from the earth, with no end in sight.

After several dozen breaths, the aftershocks left by the gray slash slowly dissipated.

It was only then that the onlookers could clearly see the effect of the strike.

Its strikes cut through everything in their path.

The mountains were cut off, the rivers were blocked, leaving only a bottomless ravine stretching for thousands of meters.

"That's...too powerful..."

Yamato stared at this divine strike, muttering to himself, unable to recover for a long time.

She had always thought Luther was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong...

The others shared similar sentiments, gazing at the almost completely cleaved earth with awe and reverence.

"Hehehe, Kaido, you've finally met your match!"

Moria looked at Kaido, who was split in two from the shoulders to the waist, and let out a hearty laugh.

Although he could sense that Kaido still had a life force.

But it was almost cut in half at the waist; both legs and one arm were broken, making it practically useless.

It's more satisfying to see Kaido alive than dead.

Of course, that alone is not enough.

After receiving a slight nod from Luther, he strode over to the unconscious Kaido, his shadowy figure seemingly fiddling with something.

"Lord Kaido...has he been defeated?"

Sakazuki retreated to the place where Yamato and Jack were.

Hearing Jack's incredulous murmurs, Sakazuki crossed his arms and snorted coldly:

"Kaido is nothing but a nobody. If you still want to be a pirate, that's what will happen to you."

"If I didn't become a pirate, could I become as strong as Lord Kaido?"

Unexpectedly, Jack completely ignored Sakazuki's threat and instead looked at him with a burning gaze.

His feelings towards Kaido now are more of awe and obedience to the strong.

Now, he seems to have found a more powerful being, and naturally, this awe and obedience have shifted.

"If you can kill more pirates, what is Kaido?"

Sakazuki's words were tinged with disdain, as if he didn't take Kaido seriously at all.

"I'm going to kill pirates! But you have to teach me how to become stronger!"

Jack addressed Sakazuki solemnly, but his gaze was actually directed toward Luther.

Although he had only recently woken up, he knew that Luther was the strongest and most authoritative figure.

"No problem, you'll be glad you made the choice."

Sakazuki looked satisfied; he was now even more supportive of Luther's proposal to recruit the young pirates.

This unpolished gem, untouched by the evil of pirates, could, with a little polishing, be no less than an elite vice admiral.

As for Moria... Sakazuki still had some reservations, knowing that this was Luther's way of replacing Kaido's niche in the New World.

Whether or not it can be done is another matter, but Sakazuki doesn't really approve of this kind of behavior.

But considering that it could drastically reduce the number of pirates in the New World, and since he had no say in the matter, he decided to turn a blind eye for the time being.
