One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 653 The magic of being torn into pieces!
"bump!"

The black crescent and the yellow sandstorm collided with each other. Both sides were roaring, screaming, strangling and devouring each other. The black crescent was incomparably sharp, but the yellow sandstorm also had its own advantage. That was the sand that kept pouring in from the back, which gave it unimaginable endurance. This was something that the black crescent, which was a one-time deal, could not have. Of course, this did not mean that the black crescent lost.

Divine Evasion, as the most well-known move of Pirate King Roger, is itself a synonym of power. Even God has to dodge this attack, let alone the mere yellow sand. However, Shanks is not able to use this move well now. Although he successfully broke through the barrier of the yellow sand in the end, he did not have much spare strength. In addition, the time generated by the collision of the moves of both parties also gave Shacklebolt Dale enough time to actively transform naturally to avoid the attack.

“Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, very good, very good. This move has one twentieth of the attack power of that bastard Roger, woo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo.”

Kaido smiled and clapped. Shanks' attack really made his eyes light up. Although the Conqueror's Haki entanglement on the blade was unstable and small, there was no doubt that it was Conqueror's Haki entanglement. At that time on Fishman Island, Shanks was still a newcomer who needed to correct his use of Ryuo. It has only been two months since they last met, but he has already learned Conqueror's Haki entanglement. Although this level is not even an entry level, it at least has a prototype, right? He has already raised one foot on this road. As long as he helps, he can step out. As for whether he can take the second step and whether he can go far enough, it depends on Shanks himself. At that step, no one can help him.

"You are too kind. I am far behind Captain Roger."

Shanks scratched his head shyly. Actually, he was lucky to be able to use this move successfully. Not only might it be successful only once in ten times, but the power this time was also the greatest ever.

"You seem to have no confidence in yourself? This is not a good idea, kid. Remember, although a person cannot have blind self-confidence, he must never have no confidence in himself. Otherwise, you will never become a truly strong person. You can already use the Conqueror's Haki to entangle. Although it is very weak, at least you have done it."

Kaido frowned when he heard Shanks' words. How could the young man who was so confident on Fishman Island suddenly become unconfident? Could he have been hit in Banko? He also knew how unreliable Big Mom was in training. If she was crippled by a hit in just a few days, it would be a waste of talent!
"No, Mr. Kaido, it's not that I don't have confidence, but I can only stimulate a little bit of Conqueror's Haki when I use this move, and I can't use this move every time, the success rate is less than 10%. When we were in the last stage of the Bankoi against Katakuri, I used it three times before I could use it, and the power was not enough, and it was shattered by Katakuri in one move."

Shanks quickly explained that he was not an arrogant person, but he was definitely not inferior. He felt that he was far from being arrogant, but that was not self-deprecating, but that he knew his own worth.

"Oh la la la la la la, so that's how it is. I wronged you. But it's good that you can use this trick. I'll explain it to you later. You're the next one, kid."

Kaido nodded, readily admitted his mistake, and then directly named Buggy. In fact, this is normal. After all, Shanks is the captain, and when the captain is done, the vice-captain will definitely take over.

"Oh, no problem."

Bucky nodded. He had just been observing from below, observing Shacklebolt Dell's every move. Although the time was short, he also saw something.

"Baki, the user of the Split Fruit, your fruit ability has been exposed, so I won't take advantage of you. Let's fight fairly!"

After high-fiving Shanks, Buggy walked onto the ring and spoke to Shacklebolt Dale. He seemed quite righteous when he first introduced himself, but his left hand, which was secretly hidden behind his back and had been separated, did not match his words. This was exactly how Buggy fought.

No one would blame him, because that was just how he was. His fighting method was to use the effect of his fruit ability to the maximum extent, to create a fleet-style localized large-scale attack on small-scale. Although he looked like a funny character on the surface, Buggy was actually an orthodox intelligence collector. He was used to collecting intelligence first, and then formulating some appropriate tactics. This was the way of fighting in fleet warfare, and with the Split Fruit, Buggy could accomplish all of this by himself. "Stop talking nonsense! Desert Sunflower!"

Shacklebolt Dell is not an idiot. Her Observation Haki has allowed her to discover that Buggy is doing something. Although she doesn't know what the use of Buggy's little trick is when they are so far away from each other and both of them have Observation Haki, Shacklebolt Dell will not sit there and wait for death. She immediately launches an attack.

The entire venue was shaking slightly, and a tiny circular quicksand pit was formed directly where Buggy was standing, and it was rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary move. Unlike the Desert Sunflower in the original timeline, Crocodile's Desert Sunflower is performed in the desert itself, which means that the only problem that needs to be considered is to control the already existing sand, which is not a problem at all for the users of natural fruit abilities, as they are originally doing this.

But the Desert Sunflower that Shackel Dell released now was different. As I just said, this arena was made of basalt. If Shackel Dell wanted to release this move, he had to turn the ground into sand first, and it had to be remote sandification. And there was no need for any hand movements. He just stepped on the ground with his feet and used the insignificant gravel left by the attack just now to accomplish this task. Needless to say, its gold content was very high. Shackel Dell had made unimaginable efforts to train this move, and it had finally borne fruit now.

"This move may be useful against people who don't know the Six Styles, but it doesn't work on me! Death magic! The magic of shattering into pieces!"

The biggest weakness of Buggy's Split Fruit is that his feet cannot leave the ground to fly, but the Six Styles move solves his problem. Through the Moon Step, he can make his feet that were originally unable to leave the ground fly into the air, and then evolve some new tactics from this. For example, now, the Buggies in the air are flying towards Shacklebolt Dell in overwhelming numbers, like a swarm of locusts, densely packed. This is a new skill that Buggy has recently comprehended. It can divide himself into as many points as possible, not just the original horizontal division, but even vertically. He can create the momentum of thousands of troops by himself.

At the same time, through the use of Armament Haki, these fragments separated by Buggy are not decorations. At this moment, they are like a storm of bullets, shooting towards Shacklebolt Dell with terrible penetrating power, vowing to turn Shacklebolt Dell into a sieve.

"Tsk, desert pyramids!"

Facing the aggressive Buggy, Shacklebolt Dale did not dare to be careless. She had already felt how terrifying the impact of Buggy's move was. Active elementalization could no longer resist this move. Shacklebolt Dale had no choice but to use the second move, although this meant that she had already lost the competition.

A huge desert pyramid rose from the ground, directly covering Shacklebolt Dell. Almost at the same time, the armed color domineering was attached to the pyramid, and it directly changed from the original gold color to the Necromancer's black iron color. Then the sound of rain hitting the pipa continued to sound, and the whole sound lasted for a full ten minutes. The defense of Shacklebolt Dell's desert pyramid was not low, but it almost allowed Buggy to break through the defense line. Fortunately, it held until the end of Buggy's attack. At this time, the pyramid had been riddled with holes and was in tatters.

Buggy's performance has to be said to have made Kaido's eyes light up. Before awakening, the Split Fruit was not a powerful devil fruit. After all, it could only work on itself. Apart from the title of a so-called swordsman killer, it had no other use. But such a devil fruit could be played like this in Buggy's hands. It has to be said that Buggy is indeed talented. The development of the fruit and his cleverness in battle are worthy of Kaido's applause.

“Wu la la la la la la, I admit that I underestimated you, what a big show, wu la la la la la la! Good! But it’s not enough! When you add the entanglement of Conqueror’s Haki, this great magic of yours will definitely be taken to the next level!”

Kaido's eyes were gleaming with satisfaction at this moment.
