One-Punch Man in the One Piece World

Chapter 115 Let me have my fill! Kaido!

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved!

Its massive body shot out like a cannonball, shattering the ground and toppling giant trees in its wake! The Eight Precepts traced a dark arc through the air, its staff crackling with black and red lightning—

Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!

The moment the staff slammed down, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek! Black and red lightning leaped, coiled, and condensed into a world-destroying force!

Norton stood still, without flinching.

He simply clenched his fist and met the blow head-on—

boom!!!!

The moment the two forces collided, the entire island trembled! Giant trees within a radius of hundreds of meters around the two men simultaneously exploded! Wood chips flew everywhere, and dirt splattered! The shockwave spread in a ring, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky!

Amidst the smoke and dust, Norton's fist pressed against the staff of the Eight Precepts, remaining completely still.

Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt that power coming from the stick—not domineering aura, not technique, but the purest, most savage, and unreasonable physical power!

That force is directly confronting his Thunderous Eight Trigrams!

"you"

Kaido opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Norton's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Is this all there is to it?"

"This is just the beginning!"

Kaido roared, his massive body slamming into the ground! The ground cracked, sending debris flying, and he shot into the sky like a shooting star flying backward!

In mid-air, he gripped the Eight Precepts with both hands, and the huge spiked club spun wildly in his hands!

Black and red lightning coiled around it, becoming denser and thicker until it finally transformed into a ball of pitch black that devoured light!

"Kōsai-san-ki: Naraku-sama!!"

He plummeted from the sky! The iron rod, wrapped in a domineering blue, crashed down on Norton with earth-shattering force!

The staff tore through the air, emitting a shrill, ghostly wail! Black and red lightning traced a twisted path through the air, like divine punishment descended from the gods!

Norton looked up at the approaching spiked club.

He smiled.

Then he threw a punch!

That punch had no technique, no domineering aura, it was just a pure, savage punch that poured all the power of the body into it!

The moment the fist collided with the spiked club, BOOM!!!

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters around the point of impact exploded simultaneously!

Grotesque cracks spread outwards, giant trees felled, and rocks shattered! The shockwave whipped up mud and rubble that shot into the sky, forming a wall of dust that blotted out the sun!

Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted!

He felt that force coming from the stick—

It's not about domineering presence, nor is it about skill; it's simply the purest physical strength!

But that force was too great, so great that even his Conqueror's Haki was trembling! So great that his tiger's mouth began to go numb! So great that he almost couldn't hold onto the Eight Precepts!

Kaido landed and staggered back three steps, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground.

He looked down at his hand—his thumb and forefinger were split open, and blood was trickling down between his fingers.

He looked up at Norton.

The silver-haired man stood motionless. There wasn't even a red mark on his fist.

"not enough."

Norton looked at him, the smile on his lips deepening.

"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!"

He took a step forward.

"Let me have my fill, Kaido!"

Something was burning in those eyes.

That wasn't fighting spirit, nor killing intent; it was something more primal and frenzied—a thirst for battle itself, a thirst for stronger opponents, a thirst for the word "exhilaration"!

Kaido looked into those eyes and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

Around them, the monsters hiding in the distance let out terrified whimpers.

They looked at the two humans, at the destroyed forest, at the aura that made the air tremble, and finally gave up watching.

The skeletal reptile turned and ran away.

Then came the second head, the third head, and the tenth head.

Those ferocious beasts that the cadres had to fight to the death to deal with were now fleeing like frightened rabbits.

They retreated into the depths of the dense forest, back to their nests, to the darkest corners, never daring to peek out again.

Because they instinctively knew that those two humans were not on the same level as them.

Kaido took a deep breath.

He began to change.

Dragon scales emerged from beneath his skin, but instead of covering his entire body, they coalesced into a layer of bluish-green armor! His giant horns lengthened, curved, and crossed at his forehead!

His physique was not as large as when he transformed into a blue dragon, but he was more robust and muscular than when he was in human form, with every muscle bulging and containing explosive power!

The strongest form.

Human-beast form.

"I'm getting serious, kid!"

Kaido's voice became deep and resonant, like muffled thunder rolling out of the abyss.

He gripped the Eight Precepts tightly, and the spiked club spun in his hand, its shaft once again crackling with black and red lightning—thicker, denser, and more violent than before!

Norton's eyes lit up.

"welcome!"

He threw another punch!

The two collided!

Fist clashed with spiked club! Black and red lightning flashed! Shockwaves spread outwards in concentric circles!

Kaido unleashed one strike after another, each imbued with Conqueror's Haki, each strike powerful enough to cleave a mountain in two! His speed was faster, his strength greater, and his attacks more ferocious than ever before!

Norton threw punch after punch, each one taking the devastating blows of the spiked clubs head-on! Red marks began to appear on his fists, and blood began to seep out, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

pain!

He felt the pain!

I haven't felt this way in so long!

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, and his punches became faster and faster, and stronger and stronger!

Boom! Another punch landed on the Eight Guardians! Kaido was so shocked that he staggered back three steps!

Boom! Another punch! Kaido's tiger's mouth split even more severely!

Boom! Another punch! A tiny crack appeared on the staff of the Eight Precepts!

Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted!

He saw the crack.

But what alarmed him even more was something else.

From the beginning until now, there has never been a trace of domineering power on this silver-haired boy's fist.

He has no Armament Haki. He has no Observation Haki. He has no Conqueror's Haki.

Only pure, savage, and unreasonable physical strength.

"Little devil—"

"6

He swung his bat again, forcing Norton back half a step, and used this opening to speak.

"Don't you understand domineering?"

Norton shook the blood off his hands and looked at him.

"So what?"

Kaido was taken aback.

Then he laughed.

"Ooh-ooh ...

He laughed loudly and heartily, so much so that tears almost streamed down his face.

"A freak! What a freak!"

He stopped smiling and stared at Norton, a complex light flickering in his amber vertical pupils.

"I've spent decades in the New World and seen countless powerful figures. Garp, Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki—each of them is a master of Haki. Haki transcends everything; this is the truth of this sea."

He held tightly to the eight precepts.

"Without a commanding presence, you have no chance against me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved!

It's not a charge, it's a swing!

The Eight Precepts drew a huge arc in the air, and a column of energy shot out from the tip of the staff!

The energy bar was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki lightning. Wherever it passed, it carved a deep trench in the ground, tore the air apart, and emitted a piercing shriek!

"King Kong - Dysprout!!"

Norton looked at the incoming beam of energy and smiled.

How will you know if you don't try?

He threw a punch!

With a single punch, the force of the punch propels forward as if it were a tangible force!

Wherever it passed, the air exploded, the ground shattered, and everything that stood in its way—giant trees, rocks, and soil—was blown away and turned to dust!

The force of the punch and the energy of the staff collided!

boom!!!

The two forces exploded simultaneously! The shockwaves spread in all directions, leveling another forest!

Amidst the smoke and dust, a massive figure burst forth, piercing through the gusts of wind!

Kaido!

He gripped the Eight Precepts tightly with both hands, and the spiked club was wrapped with unprecedented domineering-colored lightning!

The lightning bolts were no longer just coiled around the surface, but had seeped into the shaft and become one with it! The entire Eight Precepts Staff was glowing, trembling, and roaring!

"Roaring Eight Trigrams!!"

He spun around, the Eight Precepts drawing a dark arc in the air, crashing down on Norton's head!

This was his strongest strike ever!

This strike contained all his power, all his domineering spirit, and all his killing intent!

Norton looked at the bat and took a deep breath.

Then he threw a punch with all his might!

There was no skill involved, no domineering presence, just a punch that squeezed out every last bit of power from the body!

The moment the fist collided with the spiked club—time seemed to stand still.

"Click."

A faint cracking sound rang out.

Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.

He saw that the crack was widening.

The eight precepts of fasting have been broken.

Half of the stick flew into the air, spun, tumbled, and fell.

"impossible!"

Kaido stared at the half of the Eighth Guardian flying into the air, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

For the first time, his voice trembled with an unbelievable intensity—a feeling he hadn't experienced in decades.

The weapon broke.

The eight precepts have been broken.

This spiked club, which had accompanied him in countless battles and had shattered the heads of countless powerful figures, was now only half-broken in his hand.

The fracture was jagged, revealing the texture of the metal inside, as if it had been forcibly torn apart by some brute force.

Norton withdrew his fist and shook the blood off his hands.

He looked up at Kaido's bearded face, at the shock flashing in his eyes, and smiled.

The smile was faint, but something burned in his eyes. A frenzy, a naked frenzy, like someone starving finally seeing a feast.

"Nothing is impossible." His voice was calm, so calm it was unsettling.

Kaido remained silent.

He just stared at Norton, at those eyes, at the smile on that face.

In that instant, he suddenly remembered many years ago, when he first set sail, those days struggling on the edge of life and death, and those opponents who made him tremble with excitement.

But none of those people gave him that feeling.

What do you call this feeling?

Scared?

Kaido was taken aback.

Scared?

he?

Kaido of the Beasts? The strongest creature? He was punched into feeling fear by a brat who just entered the New World?

"Any other moves?"

Norton took a step forward.

The step he took on the ground crackled and popped, as if he were stepping on Kaido's heart.

"Go ahead and use it!"

Norton's voice wasn't loud, but the expectation in his tone and the hunger in his eyes made Kaido unconsciously tighten his grip on the broken staff.

The silence lasted for a few seconds.

"Ooh-ooh ...

"6

Kaido laughed, a loud, hearty laugh that shook his entire body. The laughter echoed through the ruined forest, startling the monsters that had already fled in the distance.

"Interesting! So interesting!"

He stopped laughing and looked at Norton, his amber vertical pupils flashing with a complex light—shock, fear, but more so something more primal.

excited.

"I've been living in the new world for decades, always looking for an opponent who can give me a real thrill."

"I thought this was how my life would be. I never expected it."

He opened his arms, and his enormous body began to change.

Dragon scales surged from beneath his skin, covering his entire body! His head elongated, his limbs deformed, and his long dragon tail lashed out from behind him!

In the blink of an eye, the azure dragon, hundreds of meters long, once again coiled itself on the ruins!

"I never expected to run into you here!"

He looked up, his amber vertical pupils fixed on Norton, something burning within them.

Then he took off!

With a flick of its tail, a fierce wind arose! Its massive body soared upwards, breaking through the treetops and clouds, and hurtling into the sky!

Norton looked up at the increasingly smaller dark figure, his smile widening.

Is it coming?

He murmured, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Is there an even stronger attack?"

Kaido's figure stopped high in the sky.

He looked down at the forest below, down at the small silver-haired figure standing amidst the ruins. Sunlight streamed in from behind him, gilding him with a golden rim.

"Watch closely, kid!!"

His voice came from high above, rolling and spreading like thunder!

This move is called—

"6

He started spinning!

The enormous dragon body spun wildly in the air, faster and faster!

Flames erupted from the gaps in his scales, swirling around his body!

The flames piled up, burning brighter and brighter, until finally—

"The Fire Dragon Torch!!"

A colossal dragon made of pure fire roared forth from his body!

The fire dragon was even larger than his own body, and its entire body was engulfed in blazing white flames! The temperature of those flames was astonishing; wherever they passed, the air distorted and melted!

The fire dragon opened its massive jaws and swooped down!

Everything in its path began to melt!

The clouds were burned through, the air was ignited, and the fiery dragon, like a falling sun, with a long tail of flame, crashed down on Norton!

Norton stood still, looking up at the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Good timing!!"

He threw a punch!

The moment the fist collided with the fire dragon, BOOM!!!

Heaven and earth lose color!

The moment the fire dragon exploded, the entire world was dyed a fiery white! The flames spread in all directions, melting everything in their path—giant trees, rocks, and soil! The remaining monster corpses instantly evaporated, leaving not even ashes behind!

The flames lasted for a full ten seconds.

When the blazing white light finally dissipated, the area had completely changed.

The ground caved in, forming a massive crater hundreds of meters in diameter. At the bottom of the crater, magma flowed slowly, bubbling with intense heat. At the crater's edges, the rocks were scorched to a glassy state, gleaming eerily in the sunlight.

The entire area was like hell.
