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

Chapter 193 Unleashes a Cataclysmic Battle!

Kaido transformed into his dragon-man form.

Bane pulled his arms back, and his domineering aura quickly condensed.

He didn't bother with any defense, instead concentrating all his domineering aura into his fists. His fists were pitch black, reflecting an eerie black light under the firelight, with wisps of dark elements constantly emanating from between his knuckles.

At the same time, along with Bane's breathing rhythm, his muscles gradually became active, making his already burly and strong physique appear even more muscular!

At this moment, the clash of their auras reached its peak. The two Conqueror's Haki clashed in the air, tearing apart everything tangible and intangible, causing cracks to appear in space. The Haki brought with it jet-black lightning that spread everywhere.

Their eyes met, and excitement gleamed in each of their gazes.

Without exchanging a few words, after a brief eye contact, the two launched their attacks simultaneously.

Neither of them were particularly fast, but their strength was formidable, and their physical attributes were monstrous. So, at this moment, the sheer explosive power emanating from their feet, in a simple straight-line collision, propelled them to their limits, as if the naked eye could not follow their movements, leaving two extremely long afterimages behind them.

Then came the collision!

"Great Power Thunder Bagua!!!" Kaido roared.

As the sound reached them, the lightning power, condensed to its extreme, converged on the Eighth Guardian. Wherever the spiked club passed, the ground was plowed with the aftershocks of the power, the air rippled, and a sonic boom roared up. The Conqueror's Haki gathered at one point and smashed into Bane, who had also arrived in front of Kaido!

"My fist is like a gale, my strength like a raging wave, it can shatter steel and break rocks!!!" Bane roared with the same powerful momentum, and threw a punch at Kaido.

In the past, when he watched anime or read comics, he couldn't understand why people would shout out the names of their moves during life-or-death battles.

Doesn't that seem a bit childish?

Now he understands that such shouting and yelling are also a way of venting one's own power. It's like having a straight flush in a card game; can you hold back from yelling when you play your card?

The fist's force collided with the Thunderous Bagua, and the domineering confrontation suddenly erupted, stirring up layers of explosive air currents in the surrounding area. Combined with the sound waves, it transformed into a ring-shaped shockwave that spread outwards, directly flattening the already ruined streets!

Immediately afterwards, their Haki exploded, followed by a clash of strength. In this attack, Kaido was at a disadvantage in terms of power. His Eight Guardian Spirits trembled incessantly, the muscles in his arms swelled to the point of bursting, and his intense aura was released unrestrainedly. The ground that had just been plowed under his feet shattered again, and the pebbles that were thrown out were pulverized into dust in the air by the aftershocks, with nowhere to escape.

However, Kaido's attack was not simply a matter of physical strength; it also involved his use of his own abilities.

The lightning condensed on the Eight Precepts, upon realizing that its power could not withstand the terrifying force of Bane's heavy punch, instantly burst forth, flashing with dazzling lightning for a moment, followed by an extreme explosion!

With a deafening roar, the lightning transformed into flames and shockwaves. Smoke rose from nowhere, yet it was incredibly swift and powerful. The explosion was terrifyingly potent. In an instant, the flames completely engulfed Kaido and Bane. Then, a massive mushroom cloud rose from the ground, once again obscuring the starlight in the sky.

Even without the starlight, Dressrosa was as bright as day at this moment.

That was the radiation from the explosion; the mushroom cloud, hundreds of meters high, looked like a towering tree!

The violent impact rolled on, spreading over a radius of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, destroying everything in its path.

The entire city of Dressrosa trembled once more. The towering heights of the King's Heights were ripped open, and the magnificent castle of the Don Quixote family began to collapse, before being propelled into the air by the shockwave of the explosion and crashing down upon the entire island.

An aura of destruction enveloped the entire island!

The merchant ships left behind in the waters of Dressrosa, which should have been out of sight, could see a fiery cloud rising on the horizon, even from such a great distance.

On deck, an old sailor with a stern face now had an incredulous look in his eyes and couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Is it hell?"

"Captain, it looks like a tsunami!?"

That's right, it was a tsunami. The clash between Kaido and Bane's powerful attack not only tore the sky apart and nearly collapsed the island, but the confrontation of their auras and the aftershocks of their power also further pressured the seas surrounding Dressrosa, driving the already restless ocean into a frenzy.

The turbulent currents formed whirlpools, and the rolling waves crashed together to form tsunamis, spreading in all directions.

This is the battle between top-tier experts. With a mere gesture, they can alter the weather and unleash catastrophes!

In the port area, the frenzied atmosphere gradually subsided, but sparks could still be seen falling from the sky, and the smell of burning permeated the air. Webber lifted a rock that had been pressing down on him, stood up in a daze, and looked around.

completely annihilated!

Those elite Marines who survived Kaido's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki in the last round hadn't even had time to rescue their teammates when they were once again hit by a duet from Bane and Kaido. This time, they were all truly wiped out.

In the distance, amidst the yellow sand, Fubuki's figure seemed to be struggling to disintegrate, then reform, only to disintegrate again into the yellow sand. Her body was occasionally flashing with dark, domineering lightning. After struggling four or five times, Fubuki finally managed to solidify her figure completely.

Her expression was equally blank. Just a moment ago, the aftershocks of Kaido and Bane's power almost severely injured her. Her Logia-type body, which was imbued with Haki, was instantly blasted into an elemental state.

Pika, who was already being suppressed by her, was now upside down, half of her body embedded in the yellow sand, her legs hanging limply, clearly having lost consciousness.

After all, when the aftershocks of the explosion came rushing in, his tall body was hit by the force of the impact.

Soon, Fubuki spotted a figure standing in the firelight not far away. It was Roronoa Zoro, holding Wado Ichimonji in his hand. His expression was very solemn, and he did not tremble at all, appearing unusually calm.

Just now, Zoro faced this seemingly world-destroying explosion, and at this moment, he felt that his spirit and will had been tempered and strengthened by this experience.

As for his opponent Diamante, the moment Doflamingo shouted that he wanted to join Kaido, and Bane crushed Doflamingo's neck, Diamante angrily abandoned his fight with Zoro and rushed towards Bane. Then, he disappeared in the fierce battle between Bane and Kaido, and his whereabouts are now unknown.

If Bane's previous blow to Doflamingo created a crater hundreds of meters wide in the street, then the extreme explosion generated by Kaido's battle with Bane can be said to have truly shaken the entire ley lines of Dressrosa, and the island may be ruined from now on.

As the smoke from the explosion's epicenter gradually dissipated, the ground revealed a gaping, terrifying abyss-like opening. The soil and rocks there had been completely charred into flowing lava, a result of the extreme heat.

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

A hand suddenly emerged from a shallow pool formed by lava. The scalding lava clung to the arm, causing the skin to hiss and scorch, but it only turned the skin red and did not cause any real damage.

Then, the hand gripped a scorching hot, blackened flint, and with a sudden burst of strength, Bane's body crawled out of the lava, panting heavily. His once dashing black suit was now completely burned beyond recognition, and his upper body was almost bare. Fortunately, the material of his trousers seemed to be more special, so although the damage was unsightly, it wasn't too embarrassing.

Bane spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with scalding lava, his brows furrowing in pain. He reached up and covered his right arm, then twisted it hard, and with a snap, his dislocated elbow was put back in place.

"What a terrifying guy," Bane said, black smoke billowing from his body as he continued to heal his injuries.

As soon as he finished speaking, in another pool of lava not far away, Kaido, as if emerging from a bath, suddenly burst through the surrounding scalding lava, and his tall figure, somewhat disheveled, scrambled ashore.

Lava dripped from his body, clinging to his blue scales. Kaido looked down for a moment and saw the Eight Precepts, which had been knocked askew and stuck into a charred rock.

The once straight spiked club was now broken, with several jagged spikes broken off, and the entire club twisted and tilted at a 30-degree angle.

Looking at Kaido again, the scales on the tiger's mouth of both his hands had already burst open, and blood was flowing out from the gaps in the scales. You could even see that his fingers were trembling slightly.

It was clearly injured by the force of that clash just now!

As for Bane, he was still the same, his fist bones and flesh rotten, and through the turned-out skin, one could vaguely see some cracks in the white bones.

However, the power of darkness is absorbing these injuries and repairing Bane's body.

Kaido, no longer paying attention to his broken spiked club, flicked the blood from his hands and asked with a hint of disbelief, "How did you train? How could you grow to this level in just six months?"

Before meeting Bane, Kaido, though a Devil Fruit user, believed that "only Haki can transcend all things!"

But after exchanging a punch with Bane, he wanted to shout "Long live power!"

Despite his superior domineering aura, Bane managed to hold his own against him with sheer power!
