Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 122 Bane VS Kaido, a violent confrontation!

Bane's punch was truly powerful. Kaido struggled on the ground for a couple of moments before getting up, and even then, he still felt dizzy.

For a fleeting moment, he felt as if he had returned to decades ago, to the Rocks Pirates' ship. Back then, he was young and had once angered the leader, Charlotte Linlin, who had punched him in the nose like this, nearly killing him.

Now that his strength has reached its peak, that punch made him recall that memory, which shows how ferocious Bane's punch was.

Shaking his head, Kaido regained his balance, reached up to cover his nose, and looked down to see his hand covered in blood.

Having fought Garp for so long, Kaido couldn't be said to be completely unscathed, given the bruises all over his body and the shattered, dented blue dragon scales. However, the pain in his nose still left Kaido somewhat moved.

"Ouch, you bastard." Kaido shook off the bloodstains on his hand and looked at Garp and Bane with a gloomy gaze.

Garp is a stubborn guy. He was so full of energy just now, and he didn't think anything of it. But now that he has stopped moving for a short time, he feels sore all over, as if his bones are groaning.

"I'm really getting old." Garp wiped the bloodstains from his forehead, his face twitching slightly as he said, "If I were twenty years younger, I could fight him for ten days straight, and I'd be lucky if I didn't beat the shit out of him."

Bane flexed his wrists, then laughed and said, "And now? Almost done for?"

He wasn't really putting on an act; Garp nodded and said, "I'm really starting to feel the strain. If we keep going, we might lose."

Just as Kaido said, he didn't really use his abilities; he just got carried away and fought Garp hand-to-hand. Even Garp was struggling under these circumstances, which shows that Kaido's title as the strongest creature is well-deserved.

"Then you rest for a while, let me give it a try!" Bane said with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Garp didn't try to be a hero and immediately agreed, "I'll back you up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bane pushed off with his feet and charged straight at Kaido.

Kaido's eyes flashed with anger as he said, "You bastard, do you really think I'm someone you can just challenge?"

This time, Kaido didn't have the same carefree attitude as before. After cursing Bane, he took a deep breath and unleashed a burst of heat that shot straight at Bane.

This heat was indeed terrifying; wherever it passed, the ground was instantly melted into molten lava, its power was immense.

However, Bane had no intention of dodging at all. Black light emanated from his hand, and he charged forward despite the heat. Kaido's powerful heat was completely absorbed into the boundless darkness after coming into contact with the black light emanating from Bane's hand.

"Let's have a real fight, Kaido!!!" Bane shouted, and with another burst of power, he leaped into the air and threw a punch at Kaido.

Kaido was somewhat surprised that the heat breath had no effect, but he wasn't afraid of Bane. He formed claws with both hands and swept them forward, creating a fierce gust of wind between his fingers as he roared, "Bad Wind!"

The bad wind rose up in a crisscross pattern, sweeping towards Bane's figure like a fishing net.

This time, instead of releasing dark elements, Bane's fist was filled with Armament Haki, which flowed and swirled. With a single punch, he shattered the evil wind instantly. At the same moment, Kaido had already taken two steps forward and arrived in front of Bane, throwing a backhand punch that was also filled with Haki.

Their fists collided violently, followed by a clash of Haki. It was clear that although Bane had used the Ryuo technique, Kaido's Haki was stronger and more powerful!

In just two breaths, the Haki on Bane's fist was completely shattered and exploded. Then, the flesh on his fist bone was rotten and dissipated with the surrounding energy. Seeing this, Kaido felt that he had the victory in his grasp. But when they were truly locked in a stalemate, Kaido felt that terrifying power!

The domineering aura crumbled? Flesh and blood rotted?

It doesn't matter!

The real confrontation is a confrontation of power!

"Aaaaaah!" Bane couldn't help but roar as the force of his body surged.

The ground beneath Kaido's feet could not withstand the force and began to crumble. He considered himself to be strong enough, but at this moment, he felt a faint sense of being suppressed!

"Are you also made of steel and have superhuman strength?!" Kaido seemed to see the shadow of his big sister in Bane!

The next moment, the two could no longer hold their ground and suddenly exploded. Bane, who was in the air, was thrown away. Even though Kaido had his feet on the ground, he couldn't help but take four or five steps back before he could dissipate the force that Bane had exerted on him.

After tumbling halfway through the air, Bane landed on his feet, his whole body jolted, and without taking a step back, he remained rooted to the spot. Immediately, a wave of air erupted from beneath his feet—a technique he had learned from Bangu to deflect air.

In just two short breaths, the festering flesh on Bane's fist began to ooze black smoke as it rapidly healed.

Seeing this, Kaido breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "It seems you're only strong enough, but not quite at the level of a monster like Big Mom."

If it were Charlotte Linlin, even without using her Haki, such a fistfight wouldn't result in any bloodshed or dismemberment.

Bane clenched his fist, felt it for a moment, and then smiled, saying, "Perhaps it will be soon."

Although the flesh on his fist was rotten, Bane could feel that his bones were not under any pressure. Clearly, he had not only grown stronger during this period, but his physical qualities had indeed been strengthened in all aspects. Now it was bones, but it was not impossible for him to become as tough as Charlotte Linlin in the future!

"Come on!" Kaido didn't underestimate Bane this time. He stomped his foot and grabbed the Eight Guardians who had bounced up from the ground. He then charged towards Bane.

Without wasting words, Bane took a deep breath, his Armament Haki coiling around his arms, and charged towards Kaido.

"Thunder Bagua!!!" Kaido unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, instantly enveloping all eight members of the Eight Guards, and unleashed a thunderous strike without holding back!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Water Flow Rock Smashing Fist!!!" Bane stomped on the ground, his body arched, and his arms shot out like flowing water, seemingly trying to block Kaido's Thunder Bagua in this way!

However, the difference in raw strength was still quite obvious. Kaido's Conqueror's Haki enveloped Bane's arms almost instantly, completely shattering the Armament Haki on them. At the same time, his spiked club struck Bane's forearm.

Using the force of the water to propel itself away, the flowing water gently entwines the rocks with its powerful energy!

Faced with the Thunder Bagua, Bane fully unleashed the techniques of the Flowing Rock Smashing Fist, but he still fell short. The Flowing Rock Smashing Fist is indeed an extremely profound martial arts technique, but Kaido's attack can definitely be considered a case of overwhelming force with sheer power!

With a crack, the flesh on Bane's arm was smashed apart, revealing the lean arm bone. Even though the arm bone was strong enough, it was still cracked when resisting the Eight Precepts.

However, paying this price did stop Kaido's Thunder Bagua, which was enough for Bane.

"Powerful as a whirlwind, shattering steel and breaking iron!" Bane's other hand seized the opening and struck Kaido in the abdomen.

"Dragon Jade!" Kaido shouted.

At this moment, the scales on his abdomen were perfectly round like jade, without any flaws. Moreover, a layer of domineering aura was attached to them.

He was confident he could withstand the attack, but the next second, his domineering aura was shattered by Bane's powerful punch. Immediately afterward, his fist slammed into Kaido's abdomen, and with one punch, he forcefully blew blood from the scales on Kaido's abdomen.

Then, a powerful burst of energy erupted from behind Kaido, sweeping up the rubble and debris on the ground behind him and sending it flying more than ten meters away.

As a top-tier powerhouse, Kaido could feel the pain in his body, but he suppressed the reaction immediately. Then, he unleashed his power again, and with a sudden thrust, he slammed Bane's arm into Bane's head.

This attack was equally powerful and heavy. Combined with his physical advantage, Kaido was over seven meters tall while Bane was over two meters tall. With this attack, Kaido managed to send Bane flying!

After knocking Bane away, Kaido clutched his stomach, cried out in pain, and his expression became much more ferocious.

He could sense that although the punch was technically superb, what truly caused the damage was not those techniques, but rather an extreme and simple burst of power!

"Violence." Kaido's eyes also lit up with excitement; this was the kind of violence he was after!
