"Did I disappoint you? Well then, I'll have to get serious from now on."
As Kaido walked, covered in blood, his form constantly changed, and dense blue scales grew on his skin, making his already burly body even more robust.
As luck would have it, there happened to be a tavern right where Kaido landed, with many barrels of sake piled up next to him.
Kaido picked up the barrel and drank it all in one gulp, but his pace quickened until he was running at full speed.
Black lightning coiled around the Eight Precepts, and with Kaido's swing, it sparked bursts of thunder in the void.
"Wine Dragon Eight Trigrams?"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly went to greet him.
Chapter 103 Reverse Bounty and Cruel Punishments
103.
The Drunken Dragon Eight Trigrams is not Kaido's technique, but a special state in which Kaido is in a drunken state, and his speed and strength are enhanced.
In layman's terms, it's similar to taking an adrenaline injection.
The Drunken Dragon Eight Trigrams form can be considered Kaido's strongest form, representing the level of enemies he faces.
"I was unable to use this move in the battle against Kozuki Oden, which has been a bit of a regret for years."
Kaido stood in front of Chu Yang, looking severely injured, but his eyes were bright and alert, showing extreme excitement.
Upon hearing Kaido mention Kozuki Oden, Chu Yang, unusually, did not mock him but instead asked seriously, "Is this your last words? It's shorter than I expected."
Kaido was stunned, then burst into laughter: "Your last words weren't long either."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures vanished simultaneously, transforming into two streaks of black lightning that crashed into each other. The entire Flower Capital shook violently, as if about to fall silent.
Although Kaido and Chu Yang are very different in size, their fighting styles are extremely similar. Both of them follow the path of large-scale attacks and overwhelming force with sheer power.
Kaido brandished the Eight Precepts in his hands, and with each strike, Conqueror's Haki transformed into black lightning that burst forth from the void.
All sorts of deadly moves attacked Chu Yang in the most swift and fierce manner.
Chu Yang, not to be outdone, retaliated with a wooden sword.
The clash between the slender wooden sword and the spiked club made one worry that the sword might break at any moment.
But the more terrified they were, the more captivating their battle became.
In just a few breaths, the place where the two had passed was devastated, and the aftershocks of the battle reduced everything to dust.
Kaido's body was visibly covered in more wounds.
With both of them possessing equal Conqueror's Haki, Kaido discovered that his prized physical strength was actually no match for Chu Yang's.
The human opposite him, who was many times smaller and thinner, actually endured the Eight Precepts several times with his own body!
After Kaido was pierced through the body by the wooden swords, he was unable to heal his wounds in time, and the mysterious powers of the two wooden swords wreaked havoc within his body.
With this shift in momentum, Kaido, in his "Sake Dragon Eight Trigrams" state, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. However, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.
He was like a candle nearing the end of its life, burning itself out recklessly.
Since the God Valley battle decades ago, Kaido has never encountered an enemy as powerful as Chu Yang, one who fills him with despair!
The two sides continued their fierce battle, the constant clash of their dominant colors causing the sky to be covered by dark clouds, creating a suffocating atmosphere that left everyone speechless.
A torrential downpour suddenly struck the City of Flowers.
It is the dragon that is displaying its power.
Quinn has been cornered, and the battle is about to reach its conclusion.
Kaido glanced up at the banquet hall, knowing that if he lost, the Beasts Pirates would be wiped out.
If Jhin were here, the battle wouldn't be so intense.
At least I don't need to worry about the banquet hall.
The enemy had calculated everything from the very beginning, including the timing of King's departure from Wano Country.
"Where did you get this information from? Even the World Government doesn't know what's happening in Wano Country..."
This question has been lingering in Kaido's mind ever since Chu Yang appeared. If he might die, he must find out the answer.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "We don't know what happened in Wano Country, nor do we care. We just want to give the Revolutionary Army a new base. This is a good place, with a superior geographical location and abundant resources."
Kaido hadn't expected the enemy's reason for the surprise attack to be so simple; he even thought they had come to save the country.
Dragon said from the beginning that he came to liberate this place...
“You are different from those people. They are driven by ideals, while you are driven by ambition.”
Kaido suddenly realized that Chu Yang's starting point was different from Tiger's and the others.
Chu Yang did not deny it, nodding and saying, "That's right, strictly speaking, I am the only 'bad guy' among this group."
Kaido took a deep breath. "In that case, we can cooperate. I can give you anything you want!"
Chu Yang scrutinized Kaido for a while, then shook his head and smiled, "Ambition and ideals can only go the distance if they support each other. But when ambition meets ambition, it will only cause conflict and destroy everything."
Seeing that his persuasion had failed, Kaido's face darkened, and he was prepared to fight to the death.
"Let this all end, Kaido!"
"Great Weed Thunder Gossip!"
As Chu Yang finished speaking, Kaido unleashed his strongest attack, unleashing his last remaining Conqueror's Haki.
The sunlight and moonlight on the two wooden swords no longer alternated, but instead erupted simultaneously, forming a huge millstone that swallowed Kaido whole.
Genji Breathing, Second Form, Sun and Moon in Harmony.
The millstone rolled slowly, obliterating everything under the radiance. Kaido's blood-red body rose like smoke, his blood energy rapidly evaporating.
Before the Eight Precepts could even be struck, they had already disintegrated in mid-air, turning into ashes and vanishing into nothingness.
The blue scales in his human-beast form were crushed to pieces, and before long, Kaido's entire body was covered in blood and gore.
He suddenly knelt down, his body trembling violently, unable to get up.
Kaido finally looked up and glanced at Chu Yang.
Unwilling!
And... a sense of relief!
When the sunlight and moonlight reached their zenith, the broken walls and ruins on the street were completely erased.
All that remains is an empty abyss.
"Boss Kaido?!"
Having been driven to the brink of despair, Queen could no longer see Kaido. He collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
Instead of attacking, Long had his men use the Seastone they had prepared to restrain the opponent.
He walked out of the banquet hall, gazing at the emptiness left by the great battle. He was filled with dread.
What kind of destructive power is this?
Is there really anyone in the world who could withstand that attack?
With Kaido's defeat, even if the remaining crew members of the Beasts Pirates put up a stubborn resistance, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
The next step is to deal with Kurozumi Orochi and seize actual control of Wano Country.
Momonosuke Kozuki will have to wait more than ten years to appear. The regional daimyo who are capable of inheriting control have been persecuted by Kaido. As long as the Revolutionary Army does not continue to oppress the civilians of Wano Country, no one will jump out to resist the Revolutionary Army for a while.
The revolutionary army itself did not play the role of rulers; it only needed strongholds and some arsenals.
As the benefactor who saved the country, this request is nothing.
If those warriors are unwilling to reach a fair agreement, Chu Yang will help them do so, though the process will be slightly violent.
During the suppression of the Beasts Pirates, Dragon discovered that they had made contact with King, who had traveled to Dressrosa, and informed him of everything that had happened there.
I believe Jhin will return to help soon.
It's just too late.
However, the phone call revealed more than just that Jin would be returning; it seemed there would be reinforcements as well. As for who they were, Chu Yang guessed that it was most likely the Donquixote Family led by Doflamingo.
In just half a day, the banquet hall that Kurozumi Orochi had painstakingly arranged became the temporary meeting hall for Chu Yang and the others.
The table was cleared of all the food, leaving only two maps: one was a rough map of the entire world, and the other was a map of Wano Country.
"After actually taking over Wano Country, I found that its geographical location was much better than I had expected."
Dragon pointed to an empty sea area on the large map and said, "This is the location of Wano Country. There are no other countries around it, and even the World Government knows nothing about this place. Moreover, the distance between the two is very far..."
Tiger understood and said, "As the battle lines lengthen, the supply lines will also lengthen. Once the fighting starts, it will consume a lot of resources. The World Government will find it difficult to make up its mind to annihilate us, because it would require deploying a very large army."
Long laughed and said, "After all, eliminating the forces that defeated the Four Emperors is not something that can be solved with just a Demon Buster Order."
Ivankov suddenly appeared, grabbing a low-ranking member of the Beasts Pirates and throwing him in front of the group. "This is the guy who tipped off King, but he doesn't seem to know who we are."
The banquet hall was very noisy at the time, and not many people heard Kaido's words. The crew member who tipped him off was responsible for guarding the area outside the banquet hall.
