……
New World
In just half a day, terrifying cavities appeared in the waters surrounding Beehive Island.
The carcasses of countless fish and even sea monsters churned in the raging eddies.
The scope of the impact was so wide that it even exceeded that of the Marineford battlefield.
Three great pirates who reign over the New World like emperors, and two top-tier powerhouses who have allied with the otherworldly divine tree.
After initial probing in the early stages of the battle, the weather was turned upside down when all firepower was unleashed.
Seawater cascades down from the sky to form a massive waterfall, clouds are pressed into the deep sea and burst into thunder, countless meteorites fall from the sky, and flames scorch everything in sight as it is in ruins.
Compared to the notoriously disastrous weather of the New World, this place seems insignificant and trivial.
Outside the golden canopy, it resembled an apocalyptic scene.
……
……
"Huff... huff..."
Kaido was breathing heavily, feeling exhausted.
Even after seven days of fierce fighting with Allen, Mingming was not this exhausted.
The physical exhaustion is nothing compared to the mental and emotional distress.
Every time the Eight Precepts struck Kari, shattering his body, Kaido could feel something seeping into his own.
It was very uncomfortable, very strange, and hard to describe.
It was as if something was forcibly invading his consciousness; even though Kari was no longer saying anything, it seemed as if one could hear him muttering in his head.
"What did you do to me?!"
This strange feeling became more and more obvious, and Kaido couldn't help but roar and question it.
……
"Chakra," Kari replied slowly.
"This is the body's ability to control the fusion of its various components, generally referring to the product of the average mixing of mental and physical energy."
"If we put it in a way that's easy for you to understand..."
"Conqueror's Haki is the manifestation of the body after initial contact with spiritual energy, but the degree is very low."
"Vitality and resilience can be categorized as bodily energy."
"Because of the peculiar existence of Devil Fruits, the power of life forms in this world has become extreme, and even some weak individuals can acquire power based on rules."
"My database can't determine whether this is good or bad, but one thing is certain..."
"Compared to the Haki you use, Chakra is more subtle, and can even be said to be an ability that touches the root of life."
"Some powerful users can even use it to create life out of thin air and shape the world."
"And the most fundamental ability of chakra is also the original vision of its propagators..."
"It builds a bridge for communication between people."
……
Huntie smiled, and this time the smile had a more human quality than before.
"I see your heart, Kaido."
"I'm so sad..."
"The rain in your heart never stops; you can't deal with it."
anger!!
His face was contorted with rage.
boom!!!!
The Eight Precepts roared in and smashed the hunter's body once again!
They reunited amidst the golden light.
"Your birth is like a curse, existing as a living weapon."
"shut up!!"
"You crave recognition and belonging, but what awaits you is betrayal after betrayal, and your place of refuge is destroyed time and time again."
"To build a new world where power determines everything... that's all you can do, that's all you can feel that you're still 'alive'."
"Beneath the invincible shell lies a seeker of the Way who yearns to be defeated, a pitiful fellow who fears he is not the chosen one."
"I said... shut up!!!"
……
"I understand you, Kaido..."
Hunt looked at Kaido with gentle eyes: "You've done very well, constantly destroying and constantly rebuilding."
"Do you know...?"
"My birth was a pre-programmed process. After being completely shattered six times, I will return to my original owner and disappear as a tool to provide combat power."
"I am not afraid of this future; that is the meaning of my existence."
Until one day.
"He told me... as long as I can have a heart, to prove that I am an individual, he will not erase my existence."
"If even a doll like me can have a 'heart,' what else is impossible?"
"Believe me, Kaido!"
"The world is vast enough for us to roam freely!"
……
……
……
Kaido stood atop the golden canopy, and for the first time, he no longer resisted the golden flames enveloping his body.
No more roaring, no more anger, just quietly watching the hunt.
"Feed..."
"So, what is the purpose of everything you're doing now?"
"In the end, aren't you still his puppet?"
Shou shook his head and said calmly, "It's different."
"It's not the same as me wanting to do something for him or him making me do it."
"In order to fulfill his wish, I am willing to give up the 'heart' I have obtained."
……
The wind whipped Kaido's long hair into a mess as he looked at the chaotic sky.
"Ah... this is madness."
"From beginning to end, this world has been so chaotic that I can't see it clearly; it's too complicated."
"It should really be simpler."
……
……
"Kaido! What are you doing?! Take him down right now!!"
Lingling roared, "My people at the border have sent word that the war over there is over!!"
"That guy's coming back!"
What?!
Kaido didn't react much, but Barrett, who was locked in combat with Issho, was startled and abandoned the opportunity to severely injure Issho, retreating backward.
He snorted coldly.
"Tch! What strongest creature? What natural destroyer?! Those two are completely useless!!"
"A little brat! An old man! They can't even take down a single tree!"
Barrett roared, and his enormous hands, formed from numerous meteorites, gripped a thick branch of the golden tree.
I tried, but I couldn't break the branch.
I tried moving it with both hands to try and find a thinner branch... but it still didn't work.
With a final burst of strength, he broke off a branch as thick as an average person's arm, and Barrett's figure shot out.
Before they left, their roar echoed through the air.
"Let's collect some interest this time! Uchiha Aren, you just wait until next time, it won't be so easy!!"
Who was he threatening again?
……
call--
He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the continuous power from the Golden Tree, he would have been defeated long ago.
Barrett is a strongman on par with Charlotte Linlin, and even stronger in physical combat. He is definitely not the incompetent emperor that the outside world has been spreading.
but……
Would such a powerful individual choose to retreat without hesitation upon hearing that Mr. Allen was returning...?
They must have won over there, right?
……
"Cowardly bastard! You have no pirate code whatsoever!! You dare to be compared to us? You're a joke!!"
Charlotte Linlin cursed for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Kaido.
His gaze gradually became serious.
As a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, she has an extremely keen sense of the soul.
In her view, Kaido seemed to be undergoing some kind of strange transformation.
"Feed... Kaido..."
"you……"
rustling—
suddenly,
The golden canopy slowly closed, leaving Kaido and Linlin without a foothold, suspended in mid-air by their own abilities.
However, Kaido was still burning with golden flames that were neither real nor tangible.
Lingling's eyes lit up as she saw the countless terrified people below.
"So many! So many terrified souls! I'll go and harvest them all before that kid comes back!!"
Just as Lingling was about to fly away, Kaido turned his head to look at a dark cloud drifting in from afar.
"He's back."
Lingling turned around abruptly, her pupils shrinking.
The distant view gradually became clear: a vast glacial land soaring into the sky, with one particularly prominent aura among countless powerful presences.
……
Allen walked to the edge of the ice, rested one hand on his knee, looked down at the two of them, and smiled slightly.
"You understand now, Kaido..."
