The spears transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards Kaido.
"Hit!" Moria knew his own attack best. He had once used this Shadow Spear to pierce through a small mountain. In his opinion, no matter how strong Kaido was, he couldn't possibly escape unscathed if he was hit.
However, he underestimated Kaido. Kaido did have something on his mind. What was it?
"It's...it's just a red dot on the skin." Gecko Moria stared blankly at Kaido, feeling a sense of shattering faith.
"Not bad attack. I admit you're stronger than the average ant, but that's all."
Chapter 81, Naval Siege
"boom"
With his foot planted on Gecko Moria's head, Kaido laughed unrestrainedly, "A legion? Numbers? What are those? I was actually quite looking forward to it at first, if I could kill them. But it turns out it was completely useless!"
"Ugh, damn it!" Gecko Moria struggled to get up, but the difference in strength between him and Kaido was too great. No matter what he did, he couldn't lift Kaido's legs even an inch.
"Is this the end? I thought it would be more enjoyable." Kaido's tone was somewhat disappointed.
These words provoked Gecko Moria, finally causing him to completely lose his mind. He was clearly an opponent of equal strength, yet he was now so easily defeated and humiliatingly trampled underfoot.
With an unidentified roar, all of Gecko Moria's zombie army trembled, and black shadows emerged from their bodies, beginning to converge on Gecko Moria.
Finally, they've unleashed their ultimate move—the Spirit Bomb!
Shadow Gathering Ground, Gecko Moria's strongest technique, utilizes the power of his Devil Fruit to absorb all the shadows he controls into his body; the more shadows he absorbs, the stronger he becomes.
As the shadow entered, Gecko Moria's body began to swell, his already tall body becoming the size of a giant.
"Oh, so you have a trump card too!" Feeling the increasing force under his feet, Kaido revealed an amused expression, then increased his strength and pressed Gecko Moria down again.
However, Gecko Moria's power enhancement was not yet over, and he once again used his own strength to raise the distance between his head and the ground.
Hands on the ground,
Click, click
The ground, unable to withstand the immense force, cracked open, creating a huge crater centered on Moonlight Moria's hand.
"Ah!" With another roar, the speed at which the shadows converged increased several times in an instant, and Moonlight Moria's body nearly doubled in size in a short moment.
The surge in power exceeded Kaido's expectations, and before he could increase his strength, he was knocked to the ground.
With a roar, Moonlight Moria stood up again, continuously absorbing the shadows until his body finally grew to 30 meters tall, a powerful body that could even create a small hurricane with its breath.
"General-level, no, power beyond general? It's just that his mental strength is clearly insufficient to control this power, which can be seen from his eyes that have lost their reason." He also absorbed nearly 2000 shadows, more than double the 1000 in the original work.
Aren't we going to take action? If things continue like this, it's questionable whether this island can even continue to exist.
The power of Gecko Moria and Kaido inspired Yi Shuihan, who was watching the battle, to want to fight them. Strong people like to fight strong people. Originally, Yi Shuihan thought this was a lie, but now that he has experienced it himself, it is really true.
Could I be a Saiyan descendant? These wild thoughts crossed my mind.
A tremendous roar resounded, like an 8-magnitude earthquake, and the island began to shake irregularly, as if the end of the world had appeared before our eyes.
"Is this what human power has caused? This world..." The scene, resembling a natural disaster, stirred a certain ambition within Yi Shuihan.
The sudden outburst of Gecko Moria clearly caught Sengoku off guard, and with the change in terrain, it became more difficult for the navy to hide.
Finally, after Gecko Moria unwittingly destroyed a hundred-meter-high mountain, the Navy was completely exposed to Kaido.
"Oh dear! How terrifying, we're surrounded!" Upon seeing the Marines, Kaido's expression only turned slightly serious. He was confident in his strength and believed he wouldn't die even in this situation.
Or perhaps, his long-term reckless behavior has given him the illusion that he will never die, and because he is unlikely to die, he seeks death. Now, he might be even more excited than before.
"Did you find out? But it doesn't matter anymore. Gecko Moria has lost consciousness, and only a few pirates are left. The timing is perfect," Sengoku said coldly.
"Have you ever been kicked by light?" Kizaru's body appeared in front of Kaido, and his glowing foot kicked out at several times the speed of sound.
"It's blocked!!"
Kaido didn't even flinch back, allowing Kizaru to attack him at will. As a result, Kaido once again proved what the strongest creature is.
The light-speed kick that can destroy a ten-story building with a single kick is not even qualified to injure Kaido.
"Take this punch from me too!"
A huge hole appeared in Kizaru's body, but there was no blood, and it was slowly healing.
"How terrifying!" Luckily, he didn't use his domineering aura, otherwise he would have been injured in just one move.
Kaido wanted to continue his attack, but he was not alone.
"Taste the iron fist of love!"
"Ice feet"
"Rock Fist"
"Buddha's Palm"
The four attacks were formidable even among the admirals, carrying tremendous power that distorted the space where Kaido was located.
Kaido's expression changed. He ignored Kizaru, who was right in front of him, and put his fists in front of him to block him.
The four attacks struck Kaido's body almost simultaneously. Garp's fist was blocked by Kaido's hand, leaving only a fist mark.
His back was attacked by Sakazuki and Kuzan, but he only suffered minor burns and frostbite, which healed at an extremely fast speed. By the time the attack ended, there was no trace of the attack.
"Warring States, you really are cunning!" He slowly lowered his hand, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
On Kaido's abdomen, in a prominent position, is a huge, lifelike handprint.
In the first round, the Navy gained the upper hand and inflicted minor injuries on Kaido.
Sakazuki deals 1 point of damage (forced deduction).
Kuzan deals 1 point of damage (forced deduction).
Garp deals 100 damage (blocked successfully).
The Warring States period dealt 1000 damage (causing bleeding).
Yi Shuihan automatically filled in the blanks of the current situation in his mind.
This first round already reveals that among the four, Kaido is most wary of Garp, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to defend against his attack first. Next is Sengoku, and Sakazuki and Kuzan are the least noticeable characters.
"In some respects, this strongest creature is indeed not wrong. Facing the combined attack of four of the Navy's top combatants, it was only slightly injured."
Chapter 82, Facing the Red-Haired
"So strong!" Kuzan looked at Kaido, whose aura had not weakened at all and even showed signs of strengthening, and his originally lazy expression turned serious.
"How could such an evil force be so powerful?" Sakazuki's eyes were filled with rage.
Compared to the two reserve generals, the others were quite calm.
"That old man Zephyr should be here too!" Kaido said calmly, but his eyes were constantly scanning the area, looking for a way to escape. Although he liked to court death, he didn't like being ganged up on. Clearly, he couldn't defeat the Marines, who had so many top-notch fighters, by himself.
Zephyr also arrived, but he went to restrain Gecko Moria. Leaving such a irrational but powerful monster unattended would somewhat hinder the capture of Kaido.
In addition, although Zephyr is powerful, his addition would not have much impact on Kaido, since he is good at physical combat, and Garp is better at it.
Compared to physical combat, Logia-type Devil Fruit users' attacks are much more powerful, with Garp being an exception. Although Sengoku is not a Logia user, the power of his Devil Fruit ability is no less than that of a Logia user.
It's understandable that Sengoku and his group launched their attack so quickly that Kaido was busy defending and didn't notice Zephyr immediately.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay for me to be here watching the show all by myself?" Yi Shuihan looked at the battlefield that had once again become a chaotic melee, and felt restless.
Since it's a matter of acting according to the situation, it's okay for me to go up and add one, right?
The decision had just been made when an unexpected event occurred.
Gecko Moria's power was too immense. Although he lacked reason, Zephyr's restraint only fueled his ferocity. His instincts took over, and like a wild beast, he grew stronger with each fight. If this continued, Zephyr was likely to be defeated.
"Well then, let's make a slight change, take care of Gecko Moria, and then go have some fun with Kaido." In a flash, Yi Shuihan had already disappeared from the spot.
“Professor Zephyr, you can leave him to me.”
"What a reckless young man. Fine, I'll cover for you." Looking at Yi Shuihan, who had taken his opponent's place, Zefa showed no sign of blaming him. He knew he was indeed struggling.
Moonlight Moria's power is indeed immense. Yi Shuihan sensed it as soon as he made contact, and even if he were to unleash his full power, he was unsure if he could match it.
Since he was weaker in strength, he naturally made up for it with speed. Fortunately, Yi Shuihan had an absolute advantage in speed, making it almost impossible for Moonlight Moria to attack him.
Before anyone knew it, Yi Shuihan had a wooden sword in his hand, transforming into a nimble swordsman who constantly moved around in front of the boss Moonlight Moria, occasionally striking with his sword.
Moments later, Gecko Moria was covered in sword wounds and blood, but these injuries did not have a significant impact on him at the moment; in fact, they only fueled his ferocity.
"With such a large amount of blood loss, an ordinary person would have collapsed from excessive blood loss long ago! Does this mean his body is so huge that his blood volume has increased accordingly?" Is this illogicality, or is it actually logical?
"Watch me show off another skill."
Yi Shuihan quickly ran to Moonlight Moria's side. Due to his excessive speed, seven afterimages appeared, which, together with his main body, made up eight, surrounding Moria from eight directions.
Moreover, as Moonlight Moria moved, Yi Shuihan's afterimage also moved, seemingly maintaining the same distance from Moonlight Moria forever.
Zefa, standing to the side, was dumbfounded and could only manage a wry smile.
"Judgement!"
He randomly named someone, and then all eight Yi Shuihans simultaneously drew their swords.
"puff"
Blood spurted wildly, and eight sword holes, spaced evenly, formed a circle.
"Isn't this belt really nice?" Well, you probably don't understand it now anyway.
Boom,
After all, it was the real world, and bleeding to a certain extent would naturally have a reaction. So, Gecko Moria quickly fell into a pool of blood, returning to his original form. His shadow, having lost control, also returned to its original owner.
"It's solved. That skin is really thick!" Yi Shuihan exclaimed, looking at the nearly dead Moonlight Moria.
"You're really something!" Zefa exclaimed, his eyes filled with approval of Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan smiled shyly, then looked at another battlefield and was immediately startled.
Everywhere there was ice, lava, and huge handprints, as if the earth had been ravaged countless times, making it completely unrecognizable from its original state.
Kaido was already in a sorry state, with multiple wounds on his body, and even with his superhuman regenerative abilities, he was powerless to help.
One against five is indeed too much of a stretch. Even though his strength is still above any of the others, the coordination between Sengoku and the others is simply too unfair. The frequency of their attacks is so high that Kaido would have to pay with injuries if he wanted to counterattack, and even then, the counterattack might not be effective because of the restraint from the other four.
“If this continues, Kaido is doomed to defeat, barring any unforeseen circumstances,” Yi Shuihan concluded.
"That's enough!!"
The sound came from a great distance, yet it was clearly heard by everyone present, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of the person who had arrived.
"Really coming?"
Upon seeing that familiar head of red hair, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but recall her conversation with Rayleigh.
"It's the red-haired pirates!"
"That one of the Four Emperors!"
A commotion arose from the navy, clearly demonstrating that Shanks still held considerable influence.
Even the Sengoku people, who were engaged in battle, paused for a moment.
"Not planning to stop? Then don't blame me for taking action."
"We can't let you interfere with our boss, can we?"
Yi Shuihan stood in front of the red-haired man, demonstrating the principle of acting according to circumstances.
Redhead saw a glint in Yi Shuihan's eyes. How could he possibly forget Yi Shuihan, the guy who killed his beloved captain!
His brows furrowed, he drew his sword, and his Conqueror's Haki was released, revealing his kingly demeanor.
"Captain, let us handle this!"
Behind Shanks, his crew members volunteered for battle.
"Ding! You have a new task, please check!"
"Battle of the Emperors (Part 1): Defeat one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, head-on. Reward: 500 Training Points. Failure deducts 1000 reward points. Insufficient Training Points will randomly erase one Bronze skill. Accept? Yes?"
Chapter 83, Celestial Immortal
The system notification sounded at just the right moment, leaving no choice but to respond.
"There's even a penalty for failure, speechless." Yi Shuihan didn't want to lose either 1000 cultivation points or any bronze skill. "Then I can only win."
As for the option to refuse a mission, that was abandoned from the start. If you can't even accept a mission of this difficulty, are you going to refuse even more difficult missions in the future? What if it's mandatory?
