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

It was exactly the same, whether it was the angle of attack, the force of the attack, or the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it, everything was the same as when he attacked just now!

Bang! Bang! Bang! …

Despite managing to block several blows with his spiked club, Kaido was no match for the combined force of the attack and was struck hard on the body and face.

This only made him angrier, and he subconsciously unleashed an even more powerful attack than before.

"Roar thunder gossip!"

This time, Kaido gripped his weapon tightly with both hands and then blasted all the 'imposters' around him to pieces.

The black figures that were blown up immediately merged into the pool below, and then quickly emerged again from the lotus flowers.

And they used their newly 'learned' skills to deliver a crushing blow to Kaido!

Thunderous Eight Trigrams! X9!

Kaido's eyes widened. He could block one or two, but he couldn't stop three, four, or even more 'imposters'.

When the black rods slammed into his head and body, even the 'strongest creature on earth' was stunned.

He wasn't stupid; he quickly deduced that the problem lay with the lotus flowers.

In addition to the continuous supply of pool water, these 'imposters' are able to remain alive and indestructible.

He immediately wanted to destroy all the lotus flowers, but the enemies around him were making him very irritable.

"Get out of my way!"

Kaido suddenly let out a dragon roar and began to transform.

With the black pool water gone, the seal was naturally broken.

He simply couldn't believe that these imposters could even 'imitate' Devil Fruit abilities!

With this belief, Kaido, transformed into a blue dragon, flew directly into the sky.

Then... he froze!

Because what he considered impossible actually happened right before his eyes.

Those shadowy figures, including Kaido, also began to transform, eventually turning into long black dragons that flew into the sky.

"Die, all of you! Fire Dragon Torch!"

Enraged, Kaido immediately created a gigantic fire dragon that enveloped his body, instantly melting anything that came into contact with its flames.

Kaido, naturally, was no exception to those shadowy figures who rushed up to 'die'.

What made Kaido frown was that after those 'fakes' were melted, the black pool water they turned into did not evaporate, but still fell into the pool water below.

Chapter 697 Shadow Demon

The black water in the pool appears to be 'water,' but it is actually a special kind of liquefied shadow power.

Naturally, it wouldn't be afraid of flames, much less be vaporized.

It's more like a kind of energy, an embodiment of rules!

So when Kaido, transformed into the Azure Dragon, unleashed his power and wiped out all the 'imposters,' the next moment, the newly upgraded Pro, Max, and Plus versions of the [Shadow Demon] emerged from the lotus once again.

And upon resurrection, it transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky.

Then he created a huge fire dragon to wrap around his body.

Fire Dragon Torch! X9!

Kaido: "..."

Kaido is really making some people numb right now.

He had experienced so many battles and faced so many enemies, but he had never seen such an unreasonable ability.

If it were a copy or a fake, he could still put up a fight.

There are nine of them! How is he supposed to fight them?!

If he hadn't already discovered during the previous attacks that these 'imposters' only possessed a third of his own strength, he might already be thinking about how to break through this strange space and escape.

People have only seen his reckless side, but in reality he is a smart man who likes to use his brain.

However, in most cases, he doesn't need to expend his precious brain cells.

In the air, Kaido suffered greatly under the combined attack of nine Shadow Demons.

No matter what abilities or moves he uses, the Shadow Fiends will automatically learn them and skillfully use them to deal with him in the next second.

If an ordinary person were in this situation, they would inevitably be caught in a dilemma, and the more powerful the method, the less they would dare to use it.

However, it is clearly impossible to defeat the combined forces of nine "selves" using only ordinary means.

This seems to be an unsolvable problem.

But Kaido refused to believe it; he just couldn't believe that this thing had no limits.

Rising Dragon·Flame Bagua!

Kaido started playing with his life on the line. He wrapped the head of the "Fire Dragon Torch" with Conqueror's Haki and used the powerful impact to instantly smash into all the other Shadow Demons.

Then, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Kaido immediately swooped down and opened his mouth wide, seemingly targeting the lotus flowers in the pond.

Hot breath!

A surging pillar of flame immediately burst forth, its temperature and power capable of easily evaporating a mountain or piercing through an island in an instant.

Kaido didn't believe that the delicate lotus flower below could withstand his attack.

It's true that it's impossible, but don't forget, there's still one person alive in this field.

"Breath of Darkness - Fourth Form: Black Mirror!"

With his ability to draw circles in the air, a portion of the black pool water was immediately drawn out, forming a huge black circular mirror that blocked the path of Kaido's heat breath attack.

Then, the powerful heat breath directly pierced into the black round mirror and was completely absorbed.

"Back to you!"

Abel controlled the black round mirror to flip it over, and then immediately returned the violent heat breath that he had just absorbed and sealed to Kaido!

Kaido only had time to dodge the reflection from the black mirror, but he didn't notice the delay. The Shadow Demons took shape again, and after transforming into dragons, they all opened their mouths wide upwards.

Heat! X9!

boom! ! !

Kaido had just dodged the heat breath that Abel had reflected back when he was immediately hit by the remaining nine heat breaths.

Kaido's figure was instantly swallowed up.

As the saying goes, seize the opportunity to win.

Abel immediately reversed the tip of his knife and plunged it into the pool at his feet.

Breath of Darkness: Land Form: Death Sword Tomb!

Breath of Darkness, Fifth Form: Soul-Devouring Black Flame!

Bang!

Countless black swords shot out from the pool, intending to cut the already heavily wounded Kaido into a thousand pieces!

In particular, the black swords were still burning with black flames, but the uniform color made them somewhat difficult to distinguish.

After these two moves were used, the black liquid in the pool decreased rapidly again.

Then all nine Shadow Fiends unleashed another round of Heat Breath!

Because the cost of maintaining this domain far exceeded Abel's initial expectations, he didn't hesitate to take out a Senzu Bean and throw it into his mouth.

The next moment, not only were all his previous injuries healed, but his left arm was also completely healed, and he regained all his strength.

So he controlled 9 Shadow Fiends to unleash their ultimate abilities!

Rising Dragon - Flame Eight Trigrams! X9!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! …

It was as if, after the bombardment of nine intercontinental ballistic missiles, Abel finally chose to stop and assess the situation.

As the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Kaido's massive body in the air was now covered in blood and his spirit was broken.

Even the strongest defenses cannot withstand such attacks.

But Kaido has definitely developed his Devil Fruit to the point of awakening, because as the blue light flashed on his body, those seemingly frightening flesh wounds quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal!

This vitality is simply amazing, like it's been given a cheat code!

(Kaido: "You have the nerve to say that to me?")

However, it is clear that this super-strong self-healing ability does not come without a price or burden. Abel's Observation Haki clearly sensed that Kaido's aura was weakening.

In addition, the wound caused by the [Spear of the End] continues to bleed, and there is no way to stop the bleeding and heal it.

This all contributed to Kaido's significant loss of physical strength and vitality.

What's worse is the black pool water remaining on Kaido's body.

Although he tried his best to unleash his domineering aura to resist, it was clear that he had not blocked it all.

These black pools of water are acting as a 'sealing' seal, making it difficult for Kaido to maintain his Azure Dragon form any longer.

Realizing this, Kaido no longer hesitated. Using the last bit of time he had left, he unleashed a torrent of flames and black lightning around himself and crashed straight into the boundary of his domain.

Although he knew in his heart that his domain was too strong to be easily broken through by Kaido, he still sent the Shadow Demons to intercept them as a precaution.

Rising Dragon·Flame Bagua!

Kaido unleashed another powerful attack, crashing heavily into the boundary of the domain.

Abel's expression changed slightly, because he seemed to have underestimated the destructive power boost that Conqueror's Haki added to a domain.

Fortunately, the domain was not breached.

At this point, Kaido could no longer maintain his Azure Dragon form, reverted to his human form, and began to fall from the sky.
