The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Luffy gathered his thunderous fist and once again collided with the black iron rod from a distance.

Even without touching each other, they could still feel each other's immense power and the impact and pain it brought.

But Luffy was oblivious; no matter how intense the pain or impact, it couldn't stop him.

Repel, charge forward, repel, charge forward... and so on.

Flying kicks, punches, flying kicks, punches... never stop!

Each attack causes two domineering auras to explode in mid-air, unleashing boundless impact.

When both sides reach their peak momentum, that's when they unleash their most powerful attack together.

"Strange Bird Gun!!"

"Thunder Gossip!!"

At this moment, both the third-gear thunderous punch and the Azure Dragon's mighty hammer abandoned their defense (good for the king) and poured in their powerful offensive, striking each other's vital points.

boom! !

A heavy punch landed squarely on Kaido's face, while a thunderous spiked club slammed into the top of Straw Hat's head.

Kaido was instantly blasted away by the immense force, while Luffy's head, due to the properties of rubber, kept shrinking downwards.

Both of them were sent flying backwards and crashed to the ground.

Intense pain coursed through my entire body, but~

Yet it was also an unprecedentedly exhilarating experience!

"Uro ro ro ro~!!"

"Hahahahaha!!"

Above Onigashima, the sounds of two people laughing loudly, their mouths full of blood, could also be heard.

Then, under the poignant moonlight, his figure slowly rose again.

"It's starting to get interesting!"

Luffy wiped his mouth, revealing a smile that radiated his whole being.

"I think so too!"

Kaido is no different!

Both were completely absorbed in each other, their gazes fixed solely on the one worthy of being called their rival.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and Kaido touched his waist.

He took out the intact wine gourd from his waist.

657 Gossip about Wine Dragon!! The Five Elders' anger and repression!! This year has truly been an extraordinary year.

It must be said that Kaido's gourd was also crafted by a skilled artisan, and it has not been damaged in the slightest despite enduring so many impacts.

"Boo!"

Kaido opened the cork, tilted his head back, and poured all the wine from the gourd into his mouth, drinking it all in one gulp!

His actions startled Luffy, who was preparing to launch another attack, and he immediately flew into a rage:

Why are you drinking?!

I didn't eat any meat at all!

"Of course... because I'm having so much fun right now!! *hiccup*"

With a hiccup, Kaido shook his gourd at Luffy, "Want some too?"

"I was originally planning to throw a grand banquet after defeating you all, and drink with Lingling..."

Kaido's words trailed off at the end, then suddenly became indistinct, and then...

"Waaaaah, la la la la!!"

The mournful cries and wild laughter suddenly merged together. Looking up, one could see Kaido's tear-streaked eyes and his mouth grinning wildly.

Luffy:"???"

Is he drunk? What's wrong with him?!

Since the opponent had revealed such a huge flaw, Luffy had no intention of missing the opportunity!

He charged towards Kaido's sudden attack.

"If you lose, don't use being drunk as an excuse!!"

As for Luffy, Kaido just laughed to himself, almost collapsing to the ground, using his iron rod to maintain his posture with all his might.

"Silly brat~"

He laughed loudly, "Being drunk won't make me weaker!!"

"I now acknowledge your abilities!!"

Kaido, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, continued talking to himself even as Luffy unleashed a powerful Gear Third punch.

"How long has it been since I've met someone who can make me fight seriously one-on-one with all my might?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the three heavy punches were already raining down on him.

However~~~

Swish! !

Instead of hitting Kaido as Luffy had anticipated, Kaido suddenly leaned back and swiftly twisted his body, dodging all the incoming attacks.

"Dragon Wine Bagua!!"

Amidst laughter, facing the stunned Luffy, Kaido's arm muscles suddenly bulged, and with incredible speed, he swung his Eight-Section Spear, unleashing a furious flash of black lightning, and slammed it down towards Luffy's head!

"Drunken Thunder - Naraku!"

An even more domineering, powerful, and murderous strike, more potent than before, descended suddenly.

The frenzied offensive locked Luffy, who had no way to dodge, in place, and the blow hit the bullseye!

Boom! !

The violent crash shook the entire sky and nearly shattered the entire island.

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Luffy clutched his blood-soaked forehead and retreated rapidly, unable to hold back a cry of pain.

"My strength has become even greater!!"

This move is even more powerful than the Thunderous Eight Trigrams move from before.

hiccup~

At this moment, Kaido transformed once again into his drunken blue dragon form.

"I'm so happy, but..."

Through his drunken, hazy eyes, he watched the massive rock shatter inch by inch, crashing down onto the banquet hall below. The surrounding walls were also riddled with cracks, leaving no part intact.

"The castle and banquet hall are both in a state of near destruction, they're so useless... Damn it!!"

"I can't even protect a castle!!"

As he spoke, his expression gradually became sorrowful.

"That guy..."

Luffy clutched his head, struggling to his feet. "What on earth happened?!"

He looked at the long line that resembled a heartbroken drunkard, and the question marks on his forehead were more numerous than blood.

"After getting drunk, I feel completely different from before!!"

Once Kaido gets drunk, he enters the state of "Sake Dragon Bagua".

This is not a skill, but a state, the state Kaido is in when he is drunk.

Just like the "Life Return" technique used by CP agents, it alters the body's condition.

In this state, Kaido's strength will increase, and he will become more unpredictable.

The states include "feeling lost after drinking", "crying loudly after drinking", "getting angry after drinking", "acting coquettishly after drinking", "learning skills after drinking", and "killing after drinking".

"Is rebuilding the only option?"

Looking at the devastation and ruins before him, and reflecting on the events of the night, the heartbroken drunk Kaido was overcome with grief.

"But rebuilding would take another five years!"

Luffy, defiant once again, charged towards Kaido, this time with no room for complacency.

"I've already tried my best!"

Kaido was still rambling on and on, but beneath the seemingly flawed facade of the Drunken Dragon Eight Trigrams technique, a murderous intent was surging!

"But it seems..."

Suddenly, Kaido roared to the sky, "(Cade) It's too late!!"

He transformed into his beast form once more, bursting into tears and wailing.

"Stay away from me!! Nobody's allowed to bother me, you brat!!!"

Having entered his "Sad Boy Mode," Kaido once again swung his spiked club, seemingly channeling all his pain into a devastating attack.

"A stubborn guy like you deserves a taste of this!!"

Kaido swung his black rod again, seemingly ready to teach the brat in front of him a lesson.

"King Kong·Dysprosium!!"

The jet-black spiked club swung again at Luffy, who was holding his breath and ready for anything.

However~

Just as the spiked club was about to strike, Straw Hat suddenly flew into the air.

"What a drunkard!!"

Luffy laughed loudly, stomping the spiked club into the ground with one foot, while extending his other leg infinitely.

"Rubber Boomerang!!"

boom! !

As Kaido's hands were being pulled by the spiked club, a powerful flying kick struck him squarely in the chin and throat, sending his entire body flying backward.

But~

"He was about to sober up..."

Kaido suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but his tail instantly lashed out.

"Why do you have to get in my way, you brat?!"

The tail instantly wrapped around Luffy's legs, and veins bulged on his forehead.

The drunkard's ferocious rage mode activated, and Kaido wielded his spiked club, determined to tear Luffy to shreds!

"Jundali·Long Shengjun!!"

"Strange Bird - Shooting Wildly!!"

Despite being restrained, Luffy fearlessly faced the challenge head-on!

Boom boom boom! !

Once again, both sides abandoned all defenses and everything else, engaging in a fierce battle atop that ghost island!

Bang! Thud!

Luffy withstands the iron rod, while Kaido takes a heavy punch.

The two men almost each took the other's attacks, and both were left with severe injuries.

However, neither side retreated an inch, and they continued to fight back against each other, neither gaining the upper hand.

The fierce battle between the two continues, amidst this intense clash between the old and new eras.
