One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, he executed a graceful sword flourish before sheathing the blade.

Before Kaido could figure out what he was going to do, he immediately drew the short sword tucked into his waistband.

That was the ordinary weapon that Baby-5 transformed into, which Abel always carried on his person for emergencies.

"Baby-5, Demon Weapon Knight Lance Form!"

"Ok!"

The next moment, the short sword in Abel's hand immediately shone brightly and transformed into a knight's lance nearly two meters long, which he held in his hand.

The knight's lance is spiral-shaped, and the shaft appears to be made of multiple cyan metal strips woven together, which then scatter randomly at the end.

The gun handle is connected like bamboo joints, with mysterious black patterns wrapped around the dark gray background.

"Soul Resonance!"

With a soft shout from Abel, the two soul frequencies synchronized perfectly and began to resonate.

Snapped!

The lance in Abel's hand suddenly expanded, as if an invisible force was connecting each strip of special material together. It appeared to become hollow, but in reality, the strips remained tightly connected.

Then a dazzling golden light circled the lance several times, making it incredibly radiant!

For some reason, Kaido suddenly sensed a threat from the weapon in the other person's hand.

Without hesitation, Kaido charged forward, dragging his spiked club behind him. He then shattered the ice and leaped into the air, spinning the club with both hands and coating it with Conqueror's Haki.

It crashed down heavily, accompanied by black lightning!

Kousei no Naraku!

In that instant, time seemed to slow down.

If Abel wanted to play it safe, he could have swapped positions with [Shadow Requiem] to perfectly dodge Kaido's vicious attack.

However, this requires him to first remove the mental projection state of [Shadow Requiem], otherwise he will not be able to use the original ability.

More importantly, it's about weapons!

The demonic weapon that Baby-5 transformed into couldn't be swapped with him; it could only be left in place.

That would be too dangerous for baby-5, and it would also mean that Abel would be handing over the initiative.

Can't retreat!

Upon realizing this, Abel's eyes immediately turned fierce and violent.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

Let's see who has the last laugh.

Having many trump cards up his sleeve, Abel chose to confront them head-on!

The black lightning generated by the binding also enveloped the knight's lance in his hand, which had undergone a dramatic transformation. Then, facing Kaido who was crashing down from above, he threw it with all his might!

Destroy, Spear of Destruction!

The incredibly dazzling stream of light instantly passed through Kaido's body and flew off to who knows where.

At the same time, the Eight Precepts in Kaido's hand fell heavily and irresistibly, hitting Abel's left shoulder!

Kaido originally targeted Abel's head, but Abel's attack, which came first, affected him. In addition, Abel forcibly moved his body at the last moment, which caused Kaido's attack to miss its vital point.

Click!

In that agonizing moment, Abel heard the sound of bones cracking, and then lost all feeling in his left arm.

If nothing unexpected happens, his left shoulder bone should be completely shattered.

Even the ice dragon armor and Armament Haki covering it couldn't completely block the power of this attack and were directly destroyed.

Fortunately, his talent of "Heart of the Others" made him completely immune to pain, so his face showed no change whatsoever.

Instead of suffering a setback, they launched a fierce counterattack!

He clenched his right fist, and golden light burst forth. The ferocious dragon head bit Kaido's body as his right fist slammed out, and it soared into the sky.

Exploding Dragon Fist!

boom!

With a loud explosion, Kaito slammed heavily onto the ice and did not immediately get up again.

Here, we might commend Abel for freezing the ice to a very thick thickness.

"Huff... pant... huff... pant..."

The successive outbursts and injuries made Abel's breathing heavy and rapid, but he quickly readjusted his breathing rhythm.

Looking at Kaido, he also stuck his spiked club into the ice and finally stood up again.

But anyone who sees Kaido like this right now will gasp in shock!

Because that supposedly unkillable, strongest creature on Earth was actually injured, and seriously so!

His abdomen had a fist-sized, bloody hole that looked extremely frightening.

That was the wound that was pierced by the [Spear of the End]!

It has been enhanced with piercing, guaranteed hit, and curse effects.

Therefore, this penetrating wound cannot heal. No matter how much Kaido develops his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he will never be able to heal on his own unless the curse effect on the wound is removed!

Then there was the dent in the fist mark on his chest and some wounds from the explosion.

The reason is that the punch just now triggered the [Clothes Burst] skill effect, which rendered Kaido's Haki defense ineffective.

It's like he physically took a huge hit from Abel!

Due to the combination of these two factors, Kaido, who was severely injured, was unable to get up immediately after falling to the ground.

In comparison, Abel's situation seems slightly better, but it's not much better.

That blow was equivalent to crippling one of his arms.

Of course, with Senzu Beans in hand and the [Samurai Soul] talent, he wasn't worried about his current situation.

If trading blows could kill Kaido, he would be willing to eat all the remaining Senzu Beans in this war!

However, he has to keep some cards up his sleeve to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Chapter 695 Domain Unfolds... The Sacred Black Lotus Pool!

"return!"

Abel reached out and beckoned, and the magical weapon, the Knight's Lance, which was transformed from Baby-5, immediately flew back from a distance and was grasped in his hand again.

Then he stepped forward with his left foot, using his foot to lead his waist, and his waist to lead his hand, and threw it out again.

The Final Spear!

In the instant the sonic boom occurred, the Spear of the End seemed to pierce through space and time, appearing strangely and abruptly between Kaido's eyebrows.

In an instant, blood splattered.

The spear successfully pierced Kaido's skin and flesh, and then launched an attack on the skull inside.

However, at this critical moment, Kaido grabbed the gun with both hands and prevented it from advancing an inch!

The powerful impact propelled Kaido gliding across the ice. Even though Kaido sank his feet down hard, carving two deep furrows in the thick ice, he couldn't completely negate the power of the attack.

At this moment, Kaido couldn't help but let out a roar!

"Stop it!"

All the power in his body, combined with the domineering binding, was concentrated in his hands.

Abel, who resonated with Baby-5's soul, even heard her muffled groans of pain.

Abel knew that baby-5 had done its best.

How could anyone else possibly have blocked that attack with brute force?!

To prevent Baby-5 from getting hurt, Abel decisively recalled it.

The lance immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew back into Abel's hand; Kaido tried to hold it back, but he was too late.

After sensing the soul power of Baby-5 at this moment, Abel knew that he could probably fire two or three more shots, or take a gamble.

Given that Kaido had already taken precautions, he chose the latter.

So he first deactivated the soul resonance state, and then let baby-5 start transforming again.

The next moment, a brand new dagger appeared in his hand.

The blade is dark red, with a gleaming silver-white edge and a back covered with fine, sharp teeth.

Then, we resonated with each other's souls once more!

The shape of the dagger also underwent a significant change.

The entire blade has been transformed into a lightning bolt shape, with a hazy purple color throughout. A yin-yang symbol has been added to the hilt, while the hilt itself remains the original dark red.

Dark Breath, in full operation.

First Form: Shadow Strike!

An illusion remained in place, while Abel's true form, hidden in the darkness, silently arrived behind Kaido.

Kidney strike!

Bah! It's the angel of death!

Abel gripped the dagger in reverse and, taking advantage of its ability to ignore defense, plunged it into Kaido's kidney.

At the same time, Kaido, in pain, instinctively turned around and swung his spiked club, sending Abel flying.

However, it doesn't matter anymore, because the instant death effect and the doom effect of the Death Angel have already taken effect simultaneously.

A grayish-black aura emanated from the wound...

Immediately assess willpower and luck!
