Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 296 Battle Ends

At this point in the battle, Kaido had naturally already foreseen the outcome, but this usually cunning and treacherous pirate showed no sign of retreating.

With his spiked club swung around and his body wreathed in raging flames, the diamond arms that appeared on his body were instantly burned to ashes. This strongest creature on land, sea and air did not retreat an inch, engaging in the most primitive and fierce battle of offense and defense with Momousagi.

"Do you need any help, General Momousagi?"

Tina wiped the blood from her face and asked Momousagi, who, in the midst of her fierce battle with Kaido, managed to call out:

"No need... I can handle this guy myself!"

"And Robin! Don't try to interfere with Kaido with your Devil Fruit powers! I refuse to believe I can't even beat a cripple with a missing arm!"

Among the many women of Uchiha Tou, the one who trained the hardest, valued strength the most, and was also the most arrogant of the strong was definitely Momousagi. Even Hancock, who was a Shichibukai, was more narcissistic about her beauty than pursuing strength.

Therefore, when facing the already crippled Kaido, Momousagi truly hardened her heart, refusing to believe that she couldn't defeat this guy.

"Hehehehe! I never thought I'd end up like this. But you think you can take my head all by yourself? You're seriously underestimating me!"

"I am Kaido of the Beasts!!!"

With a tremendous roar, Kaido swung his spiked club, unleashing an attack that resembled an air cannon, sending Momousagi staggering back several steps. Momousagi snorted coldly.

"You're just a pirate! Even if it's just me alone, you're dead today!"

In fact, if we're talking about potential, Momousagi, who developed the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit to a level beyond awakening and whose physique was modified by Uchiha Tou, is much stronger than Kaido is now.

In the past few days of battle, the women under Uchiha Touyu's command have been improving their strength. One of the reasons why the three Yonko pirate crews devised a decapitation strategy is that these women's rapid progress put too much pressure on them.

However, it is not easy to fully realize potential. Even Momousagi, who has the highest fighting spirit, is only about the same strength as Kaido.

However, Kaido has now lost an arm, and if Momousagi doesn't have the confidence to win, she wouldn't have been able to become an admiral candidate in the first place.

While Kaido and Momousagi are still engaged in a fierce battle, Shanks has already suffered a crushing defeat.

Unfortunately, Shanks possesses the strongest Haki among the Four Emperors, but his physical strength is the opposite, making him arguably the weakest among them. In battle, he relies primarily on Haki and swordsmanship skills, making him naturally vulnerable to Robin's attacks.

Furthermore, lacking a resilient body, his margin for error is extremely low when facing attacks from Hancock and Nami; even with Haki defense, he cannot withstand more than a few consecutive attacks.

Both Hancock's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Nami's Rumble-Rumble Fruit are Devil Fruits with extremely powerful attack capabilities. Naturally, it only took less than half an hour for this most domineering man on the sea to become a dead dog.

The sun gradually rose in the sky, but the battle between Kaido and Momousagi was still not over. For a powerful figure like the Four Emperors, it was perfectly normal for a battle to last for several days and nights.

Even though Kaido's strength was reduced by two levels due to the loss of his arm, he still had a strong body and top-notch Haki, so he could fight Momousagi one-on-one for at least another three or four days.

The two were fighting fiercely, but the palace on the Sea King's back had been almost completely destroyed. There was no way around it; the area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers was not small for a palace, but as an island, it was about the same size as Kaido's Onigashima. The chaotic battle between so many powerful figures had already destroyed most of the palace, and the battle between Kaido and Momousagi over the past few hours had turned most of these man-made structures into ruins.

The battle between the two had now reached the very center of the palace complex. Sitting on the steps of the central palace, Uchiha Touya yawned boredly.

"How much longer is this fight going to last? If it keeps going like this, we won't even have a place to stay tonight."

"It's because Momousagi-neechan doesn't want us to get involved! If you ask me, we should all attack together and turn Kaido's guy into a dead dragon in ten minutes!"

Princess Shirahoshi frowned and said something, to which Uchiha Touyu shook his head:

"Forget it, this is also Momousagi's good fortune. Once she truly defeats Kaido, her potential will have been largely realized..."

Just then, Kaido seemed to make a mistake and was directly knocked away by Momousagi's Flying Slash, crashing into Uchiha Touyu's direction. Uchiha Touyu narrowed his eyes slightly and a disdainful sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"I see... Even in this desperate situation, you still want to fight me?"

Kaido, flying backwards, twisted his body in mid-air, raised his spiked club, his eyes bloodshot, his muscles bulging, and a wild smile spreading across his face:

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!! Even if I'm going to die, I'll die at the hands of the real Boss!!"

"Mahavairocana—Wrathful Deity!!"

Condensing Kaido's strongest Haki since the start of the war, the spiked club, crackling with black lightning, almost bent as it was swung. Its incredible power caused cracks in the ground before it even struck the Uchiha's head.

However, Uchiha Tou simply extended a finger, and boundless domineering energy transformed into a wall, blocking the descending spiked club from a distance.

With a loud bang, the giant sea king was slammed down three or four meters by the blow, but the iron rod was still more than ten centimeters away from Uchiha Hiyu's fingers and could no longer sink.

With a series of cracking sounds, countless fine cracks gradually appeared on the spiked club in Kaido's hand, eventually turning into dust with a whoosh, causing Kaido's eyes to narrow slightly.

He didn't think this was the result of the clash between the two. Although Kaido was very confident in his strength, the iron rod in his hand was no ordinary thing. This spiked club, named Eight Precepts, was not only of the same quality as the Great Grade Swords, but it had also been strengthened by Kaido's Haki, making it the supreme weapon of the black club, just like a black sword.

In addition, his own domineering aura would also enhance the strength of the weapon, so this result was not the result of him using too much force, but rather that the opponent relied on the release of domineering aura to directly shatter his weapon!

Shattering a weapon with Haki might not seem too difficult, but in reality, even disregarding the inherent strength of the spiked club in the Eighth Regiment, Kaido's Armament Haki alone is enough to make this spiked club indestructible.

In fact, as can be seen from the manga, even if the opponent is much stronger, as long as they possess Haki, their weapon is rarely broken by the opponent. This is because Haki is more focused on defense than attack, so in a fight, the strength of the weapon is always greater than the attack power.

Kaido knew very well that if Uchiha Hiyori could easily shatter his weapon with a single finger without any contact, then he could also easily inflict serious injury on him with a single finger!

"The difference...is it really that big? It's unbelievable..."

"Hehe, you can only say you're unlucky. Just recently, my Asura Body was fully perfected. Otherwise, if it were before, without using any Devil Fruit abilities, it would have taken me several more moves to deal with you."

The reason why Uchiha Tou was able to instantly kill top-tier fighters during the Marineford War was largely due to the combination of his various Devil Fruit abilities.

The Dark-Dark Fruit counters all Devil Fruit users, the Vampire Fruit's life-draining ability counters all physical combat experts, and the Momo-Momo Fruit's simple and brutal hundredfold speed increase makes him so fast that it's unreasonable. This is why all the top experts are defeated in just a few moves by him.

While his physical attributes and domineering aura alone make him stronger than most top-tier experts, he is absolutely incapable of achieving a near-instantaneous crushing defeat.

However, now that he has obtained the Buddha Fruit, Uchiha Tou's realm has increased dramatically, and his cultivation has grown rapidly. At the same time, after transforming into an avatar, he can also unleash his full strength in this world. It can be said that he is many times stronger than when he was at Marineford. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, has really become a high-level grunt in his eyes.

"Well, it seems my luck is really bad... I've started a war with no hope of winning!"

Kaido burst into laughter, but at that moment, a furious roar erupted, and Kinpira, filled with rage, pierced him straight through from behind!

"Damn pirate!! How dare you lie to me!! You ambushed Lord Touyu while we were fighting!"

"Ahem, I'm a pirate, isn't deception a normal part of my job?"

Kaido looked at the sword tip protruding from his chest, and surprisingly, he didn't feel angry. Instead, he showed a relieved expression:

"But to die in such an earth-shattering war, there's nothing to regret."

"Since there's nothing to regret, you can close your eyes now."

Uchiha Touyu said calmly, and then the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was immediately activated. A black aura enveloped Kaido's body, and after a moment, it was completely absorbed.

"Another Azure Dragon Fruit, huh? This Devil Fruit is pretty good too."

Having been completely absorbed, Kaido was like a shriveled mummy that had lost all its moisture. Momousagi simply pulled Kingpira back, and Kaido's body slowly peeled off like the plaster on the walls of an old house.

As more and more skin and muscle fell away, Kaido's corpse became unsteady and collapsed to the ground, shattering into pieces like an ancient pottery vessel that had just been unearthed but not properly held.

Whether it was his life force, soul, or Devil Fruit, everything had been completely drained by Uchiha Touya. Kaido, who was once known as immortal and whose body could not even be scratched by the Great Grade Swords, was now nothing but dust-like fragments left on the ground.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Tou!!"

With Kaido's death, Momousagi, who was standing behind Kaido, hurriedly prostrated herself, kneeling at Uchiha Tou's feet in a dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling posture).

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept fighting Kaido. I never expected that Kaido was planning to ambush Lady Tou..."

"Alright, this isn't your fault."

Uchiha Touyu didn't care much. In fact, in his opinion, the most ambitious one in his harem was Momousagi. As for the other women, they ultimately lacked the spirit of a strong person.

"I'm entrusting this Azure Dragon Fruit to you. After you eat this Devil Fruit, your original artificial Devil Fruit should be able to be replenished, and your strength will be further enhanced."

Momousagi has now fully explored the potential of the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, even surpassing the level of a fully awakened fruit. She has used the power of the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit to overwhelm Kaido's original Azure Dragon Fruit, but this is also the limit of the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit.

The original Azure Dragon Fruit has a much higher potential than the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit. At least among all the Mythical Zoan species that Uchiha Tomo knows, apart from the Great Buddha Fruit, no other Mythical Zoan species has a higher prestige than the Azure Dragon Fruit.

Upon seeing the Azure Dragon Fruit handed to her by Uchiha Hiyu, Momousagi's face immediately revealed a complex mix of joy, excitement, shame, and guilt.

A moment later, she took the Devil Fruit and bit into the Azure Dragon Fruit. She felt as if her original Devil Fruit ability had been completed, and it improved significantly in an instant.

"Thank you, Lord Feiyu. I will repay you properly tonight..."

Momousagi glanced at Uchiha Touyu with her big, watery eyes and whispered something.

"Then I'll look forward to it!"

Uchiha Touyu raised an eyebrow and said something, though he said he was looking forward to it, he didn't really care.

These women, already inseparable from him under the combined effects of the Heavenly Demon Secret and the Dual Cultivation Technique, had already given everything they could and tried every possible way to play with him from the very beginning. Therefore, Uchiha Touya really couldn't think of any new tricks Momousagi could come up with.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Now that these pirates are either dead or have surrendered, the next step is to directly attack Wano Country. Without the elite core members of three Yonko pirate crews, the remaining pirates will be much easier to deal with."

The three Yonko pirate crews have sent almost all of their core members with bounties of over 3 million this time. These people are not only powerful, but also important officers of their respective crews. The impact of their complete annihilation is not only an imbalance of power at the top, but also leaves the lower-ranking members without command. They don't even need to attack; if the information is leaked, those pirates will probably surrender immediately.
