Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Pirate Ao: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

With his aura fully unleashed, Kaido resembled a humanoid beast, exuding an boundless ferocious presence.

Holding the Eight Treasures Salad, he strode towards where Shanks was.

"Hey kid from Roger's ship, give this a try."

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!!"

The Eight Treasures Hall was shrouded in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, with wisps of black and red lightning crackling around the spiked club.

Kaido had made up his mind.

If Shanks can't withstand this attack, then Kaido will use his brute force to teach this rising star Shanks a lesson.

Shanks' eyes burned with intense excitement; neither of the two, despite their vastly different sizes, chose to back down.

Like Kaido, Griffin was enveloped in Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, and with an aura that could cut through anything, he slashed at Happokusai with his sword.

"Come on, Kaido!!!"

Clang!

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between Babaozhai and Griffin, preventing the two weapons from coming into contact.

However, a metallic sound rang out from the middle, which was quite unusual.

Kaido and Shanks both increased the output of their Conqueror's Haki.

The already extremely violent and domineering aura now showed a slight change in form.

The air was extremely compressed between the two men's weapons, and streaks of black and red lightning spread around them, forming a semi-enclosed sphere.

Kaido grinned maliciously, "Kid, if you can't hold on, just admit defeat. I'll give Roger some face and break one of your legs before you leave this island."

Shanks wasn't as angry as Kaido had expected. Instead, he raised his head with a smile and laughed heartily at Kaido.

"Kaido, the captain was right after all. You may seem fearless, but you're actually the one who's most afraid of dying."

No wonder you ran so fast during the God Valley battle.

Kaido's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Shanks' words were like bringing up a sore spot. During the God Valley Incident, if Charlotte Linlin hadn't taken Kaido with her when she left and given him the Fish-Fish Fruit, things would have been much better.

It's highly possible that Kaido died at God Valley, or perhaps he became an unknown pirate. Kaido's aura grew increasingly dangerous, his eyes turning bloodshot as he stared at Shanks.

Kid, you're really good with words! (Unintelligible text)

The two men's auras surged once more, with violent and chaotic air currents tearing through the air around them, and streaks of black and red lightning flashing through the surroundings.

Rumble!

An aura of impending doom emanated from the island, causing the entire island to tremble.

The ground beneath Kaido and Shanks cracked open with deep fissures, as if something was about to burst forth from underground.

At the center of their battle, a dazzling white light began to emanate in all directions.

Because of the clash with Conqueror's Haki, the ground beneath their feet began to deform continuously.

boom!

Because the force was so overwhelming, a violent explosion occurred at the point where the weapons clashed, and an incredibly powerful force sent both of them flying.

A violent airflow, like a gale, rapidly swept across everything on the island.

Even the members of the Red-Haired Pirates watching the battle exclaimed in surprise, feeling extraordinary admiration for the clash before their eyes.

As expected of our captain, his strength is just as great as that of Kaido, who is already famous.

"It's hard to say. Kaido isn't famous for his fighting power, but rather for his freakish defensive abilities and stamina."

"Yes, the Navy has captured Kaido many times to execute him, but no matter what they do, they can't kill this monster."

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at the two figures disappearing into the light and shadow, a serious expression appearing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Kaido's strength was so great. For Beckman, this was the first time he had felt such pressure from his opponent.

Hu~hu~

The violent gust of wind quickly swept past, and after the light disappeared, everyone's gaze returned to the battlefield. Where the battle had been raging, a massive crater twenty meters in diameter had appeared.

Shanks and Kaido stood at the edge of the pit, staring at each other across the giant crater.

Kaido has used the power of the Fish-Fish Fruit, transforming into a half-beast form, with the two horns on his head becoming increasingly prominent.

Shanks, on the other hand, looked at Kaido with a relaxed expression.

This relaxed and carefree expression only fueled Kaido's already furious anger.

He never imagined that a young pirate, more than ten years younger than him, would unknowingly reach this point.

Perhaps Kaido wasn't at a disadvantage when he clashed with Shanks using Conqueror's Haki, but a draw actually means Kaido lost.

Shanks is still so young, and it's clear he has a lot of room to grow, while Kaido has already entered his peak, and it will be difficult for him to improve his strength further.

The current situation is that Shanks can't kill Kaido, and Kaido can't do anything to Shanks.

"Kid, can you handle this next move?"

Kaido's already exaggerated muscles swelled up even more, and his already tall stature doubled in size thanks to the power of his Devil Fruit.

He raised the Eight Treasures Pavilion high with both hands and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Shanks' pupils contracted as a huge black shadow appeared behind him.

"Roaring Eight Trigrams!!!"

Kaido, standing behind Shanks, raised his hands high with the Eight Treasures, and like a god unleashing a destructive thunderbolt, smashed his club down on Shanks' head.

Shanks didn't feel panicked; instead, he took a deep breath.

His body then transformed into several afterimages as he rushed forward.

boom!

The Eight Treasures Pavilion crashed heavily onto the ground, and an indescribable force accompanied it as it hit the ground, rapidly spreading into the depths of the earth.

Kami kami...

Even the hardest rocks crumbled like soft tofu under this attack.

A wide crack rapidly spread outwards, destroying all the buildings it passed through.

Shanks narrowly avoided the heavy blow, then suddenly turned around, and the Griffin in his hand swung backward as Shanks intended. He stepped forward with his left foot and firmly planted his right foot on the ground. Using the force of Shanks' turn, the Griffin appeared in front of Kaido with a whoosh.

An incredibly sharp red sword beam, like the scythe of death, was about to reap Kaido's head.

Shanks' eyes were now solely focused on the battle; although he didn't believe this strike would kill Kaido,

However, he believed that his strike would definitely leave a deep impression on Kaido.

clang!

The metallic clang rang out once more, and Griffin and Babaozhai clashed again.

Just as Griffin was about to strike Kaido, Kaido, having no other choice, gritted his teeth and held the Eight Treasures Staff upside down, using its shaft to block in front of himself.

Kaido's hasty parry was no match for Shanks's long-prepared attack. He was forced to retreat repeatedly by Shanks's power, each step leaving a deep crater.

After retreating eighteen steps, Kaido slammed his right leg into the ground, using the reaction force to stop himself from falling.

Looking at the bloodstains on his hand where his thumb and forefinger had split open, Kaido was lost in confusion.

How long has it been? It's been so long.

I don't know how long it's been since I was injured. The last time I was injured was when Kozuki Oden unleashed his full power.

However, Kozuki Oden was not a young man like Shanks; he was from the same era as Kaido.

He was also on Roger's pirate ship.

Recalling this incident, Kaido regained his composure.

Not bad, kid. That attack just now already showed eight-tenths of Roger's style.

It's a pity that although you inherited the swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki of the Pirate King Roger, you are still too young, and your attacks lack power.

Kaido simply moved around a bit, and his internal organs, which had been damaged by the backlash, had already recovered. The blood from his tiger's mouth had stopped flowing, and the newly grown flesh buds were already visible to the naked eye. Shanks was slightly out of breath and looked at Kaido opposite him with a bit of helplessness.

Before Shanks left, he had a conversation with Rayleigh, whose advice to Kaido was to kill him in one go if possible, rather than dragging things out with him.

Kaido's defense and stamina are so amazing that they are a great counter to swordsmen like Rayleigh and Shanks.

In the short time it took to say a few words, most of the damage caused by Shanks' counterattack had been healed.

Kaido cracked his neck, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Shanks and said:

"The Pirate King Roger is dead in this world, so I will absolutely not allow another Roger to appear!"

Shanks, however, did not give up despite Kaido's recovery. After hearing Kaido's description of him, Lulu...

A happy smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Kaido's words seemed to be praising Shanks, but in reality, they were a veiled criticism that Shanks only learned from others and had nothing of his own.

At the same time, it's also a way of brainwashing oneself, ensuring that one's murderous intent remains unaffected.

boom!

Shanks launched the attack first, and his figure suddenly disappeared into Kaido's Observation Haki.

The constantly appearing afterimages told Kaido that Shanks was running around him relentlessly.

This feeling made Kaido feel extremely disconnected.

His eyes could see it, and his brain received the signal, but Kaido couldn't find Shanks' figure in his Observation Haki, making Kaido even more hesitant to act rashly.

"They've arrived."

After an unknown number of minutes, Kaido caught sight of Shanks out of the corner of his eye. He then suddenly threw the Eight Treasures in his hand in the opposite direction. At the same time, Kaido's body changed again, transforming from his original half-beast form into a blue dragon with a long beard.

"Heat Breath!"

Since it's a duel between pirates, Kaido naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity to attack.

He took a deep breath and then activated his Devil Fruit power, spewing out a scorching red pillar of energy from Kaido's mouth.

The surrounding air was suddenly heated by the heat, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shanks fixed a determined gaze on the pillar of heat energy rushing from afar. Thinking he could withstand it, Shanks once again brandished his Griffin.

欢！

The energy pillar, which should have been terrifying, seemed to have crashed into a vertical wall of air during its journey, and was forcibly split in half by the air.

A powerful force was guiding the energy pillar, ensuring that the attack would not threaten the members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Seeing this, Kaido began to circle around in place, while simultaneously raising his position and plunging headfirst into the dark clouds that were now covered with grass.

"Kaido, running away when you can't win, is that why you've survived so long as a legendary pirate?"

Seeing Kaido disappear into the dark clouds without even looking back, Shanks also felt it was difficult to make a move!

In any case, Shanks can only be on par with Kaido for a short period of time.

If the battle lasts for an hour, then Kaido will be able to win the battle by virtue of his abundant stamina.

Tornado!

A long, drawn-out dragon roar echoed from the clouds, and Kaido, who had just disappeared into the dark clouds, revealed his dragon head once more.

Like a dragon sucking water, Kaido opened his huge mouth and recklessly inhaled the surrounding air.

The long dragon body had been transformed into an inflated balloon.

The dragon's mouth was aimed at Shanks, who was looking up to observe Kaido's movements, and green light kept flashing inside its mouth.

Whoosh! Joy!

Countless tiny yet incredibly sharp wind blades were rapidly approaching Shanks.

The wind blades cut through the air with a whooshing sound, like an unusually noisy nightclub.

"Don't you have any other moves?"

Shanks looked disappointed.

He thought he would see more of Kaido's strength, but he didn't expect that it was just the same old moves over and over again, with nothing new.

A hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes, causing Kaido, who was unleashing his wind blades, to furrow his brow.

"If that's all the strength you have, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me, Kaido."

Shanks sheathed Griffin back into the scabbard on his right hip, then Shanks firmly planted his feet on the ground and bent his body slightly.

It suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, which was then quickly gathered together by Shanks and locked onto Kaido in the dark clouds.

boom!

Shanks made a move instantly, and Griffin was quickly pulled out by Shanks' left hand, slashing a dazzling sword light diagonally upwards.

The blood-red sword light flashed past amidst the dense array of wind blades, like a red-hot iron piercing through plastic.

Roar! ! !

Shanks' slash unsurprisingly struck Kaido in the chest, leaving him with no way to avoid it. A deep gash appeared on Kaido's chest, with the flesh turned inside out, a truly horrifying sight.

On the other side, Shanks faced the undamaged wind blades. The remaining wind blades, accompanied by a hissing sound, all shot towards Shanks' body. The clanging sounds rang out continuously. Shanks desperately swung his Griffin to block the sharp wind blades.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Shanks' figure emerged from the dust.

Shanks is in a bit of a mess right now. Faced with the remaining wind blades, even the Rookie King can only frantically parry them.

The wind blades that Griffin failed to block grazed Shanks' skin, leaving numerous small wounds.

Although the attack was successful, Kaido realized that it had not seriously damaged Shanks.

However, under those enormous dragon eyes, Kaido saw Shanks' weakness.

That's right, Shanks' stamina is at a significant disadvantage compared to Kaido's!
