One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The silver-white figure and the dark red giant transformed into two beams of light on the arena that could not be seen with the naked eye. Each collision unleashed a terrifying roar that could make the entire Boundless Realm groan!

The entire God's Arena began to crumble inch by inch under the ravages of these two monsters!

In his beast form, Gohan completely abandoned all the martial arts techniques he had learned in the past.

His attacks were completely haphazard, driven entirely by his most primal fighting instincts.

With a swift and precise chop, the angle was so tricky that it wasn't aimed at Kaido's neck, but rather at the gap in the dragon scales under his ribs!

The side kick wasn't about power, but about precisely striking the knee joint that Kaido was supporting when he exerted force!

Every strike is aimed at the vital point—simple, efficient, and deadly!

This was a fighting style purely for "hunting," which made everyone in the Seventh Universe's spectator stands tremble with fear.

"Gohan... he's completely changed." Krillin swallowed hard.

Faced with such a ferocious and precise Gohan, Kaido, who had opened the Gate of Death and used the Kaioken at 20x speed, displayed a fighting wisdom completely inconsistent with his massive physique.

He perfectly combined the "Sake Dragon Eight Trigrams" movement technique, which is popular in Wano Country, with the unique drunken fist footwork and the extreme speed of the Eight Gates!

His movements seemed unsteady and chaotic, as if he were about to trip himself up at any moment.

However, it is this seemingly comical footwork that always manages to dodge Gohan's fatal attacks by the narrowest of margins at the most crucial moments.

Gohan's chop grazed his waist, sending sparks flying.

Kaido, however, stumbled and twisted his massive body at an incredible angle. His spiked club, "Eight Precepts," carrying a dark red storm of destruction, swept wildly out from Gohan's blind spot!

boom!

Gohan crossed his arms to withstand the attack, but was blasted away by this unreasonable force, tumbling through the air more than a dozen times before regaining his footing.

The battle between the two entered its most intense and brutal phase.

From primal, hand-to-hand combat, it gradually escalated into a cataclysmic energy clash.

"Special Beam Cannon!"

Son Gohan raised two fingers together, aiming them at his brow. Piccolo's signature move, in his hands, unleashed a completely different, violent aura.

A spiral beam of light, wreathed in silvery-white flames and crimson arcs of electricity, pierced through the void and shot toward Kaido!

"Ororororo!"

Kaido burst into wild laughter, opening his dragon mouth, which was large enough to devour mountains, and also gathered extremely hot energy!

"Heat Breath!"

The dark red breath of destruction and the silver-white spiral beam of light collided violently in the center of the arena!

Rumble rumble rumble!

An unimaginable energy explosion occurred, and a small mushroom cloud rose into the air above the arena.

The terrifying energy storm even shaved off another layer from the already damaged arena surface!

From the spectator stands in the distance.

Vegeta stared intently at the center of the battlefield, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

hateful!

Damn it! Damn it!

Kakarot's son... that weak brat who only knows how to study actually... actually possesses such terrifying power!

This violent, pure power even made him feel a slight unease.

This feeling greatly stimulated the Saiyan prince's pride.

He can't lose!

He absolutely will not lose!

In the center of the battlefield, the light and dust slowly dissipated.

Two figures reappeared before the crowd.

Both sides are already badly injured.

Gohan's purple battle suit was tattered, and his silvery-white aura was flickering. He was panting heavily.

Kaido's situation was even worse. The combined strain of the Death Gate and the Kaioken technique had brought his body to the brink of collapse. Blood-red steam was rising from his entire body, and his blue dragon scales were covered with hideous wounds.

The energy has been exhausted.

My physical strength has also reached its limit.

But their fighting spirit remained burning fiercely.

They looked at each other and saw their own indomitable selves reflected in one another.

The next strike will be the final one!

Son Gohan slowly raised his hands and brought them together at his waist, assuming a pose he had practiced since childhood.

This time, what gathered in his palm was no longer pure blue light.

Instead, it is an energy ball condensed to the extreme, with a silvery-white beastly aura at its core and an outer layer of Saiyan golden flames.

"turtle……"

"group……"

"gas……"

"achievement!!!"

On the other side, Kaido also planted his spiked club in the ground. He poured all the remaining life force of the Eight Gates, the destructive power of the Kaioken, and the willpower of the Conqueror's Haki into his right fist!

That fist glowed with an unprecedented dark red light, as if it were holding a star about to explode!

"Overlord..."

"Kaiō-geki!!!"

Both of them let out their final roars at the same time!

A dazzling silver-gold energy beam!

A devastating punch that risked everything!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Boundless Realm, they collided head-on!

No sound.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Immediately following was an intense white light, powerful enough to blind even the gods, which devoured everything.

A terrifying energy storm, centered on the two, spread wildly outward in a ring shape, completely leveling the already dilapidated arena!

When all the light and storm have faded.

The arena no longer exists.

All that remained was an enormous, deep crater.

On either side of the deep pit, Gohan and Kaido stood respectively.

The silver-white aura around Son Gohan completely dissipated, and he returned to normal, covered in injuries, even his standing was unsteady.

Kaido also reverted to his previous state, his massive body covered in cracks and dripping with blood, and he was also breathing heavily.

Neither of them managed to knock the other out of the arena.

No one truly made it to the end.

Just then, the High Priest's calm yet clear voice resounded throughout the entire space.

"Time's up."

"This match will end in a draw!"

The moment the results were announced, the entire Realm of Nothingness fell into a brief silence.

Followed by.

"Ororororororororororo!"

Kaido suddenly grinned and let out a deafening laugh. There was no regret in that laugh, only heartfelt joy and satisfaction.

He looked at Son Gohan across from him, and a look of approval appeared in his huge dragon eyes.

"You brat!"

"You're very good!"

Upon hearing this praise from a powerful enemy, Son Gohan gave a tired but sincere smile. He bowed deeply to Kaido, expressing his highest respect.

A fierce battle that spanned the world forged a deep friendship between these two powerful individuals who both possessed the soul of a "beast."

The competition must continue.

Just as Son Gohan and Kaido were being helped off the field by their respective companions.

A figure stepped out from the group of the Thirteenth Universe.

It's Vegeta.

He walked step by step, resolutely, onto the now-ruined arena.

All eyes were on him.

The Saiyan prince raised his head, his gaze passing over Kaido and Big Mom, finally settling on the red-haired man with a long sword at his waist.

He raised his hand, pointing his index finger directly at the other person.

"Hey, you redhead."

"Next match, I'll be your opponent!"
