Chapter 204: 199. Sentence To Death
Ouch! Kaido screamed, and a lot of blood sprayed out, turning the sea below all red in an instant!
A big hole showed up on the dragon's body, almost going through the whole dragon illusion, expanding from the initial 'X' wound, and it got even larger!
"This is..."
"What on the world!!"
Kaido staggered, and his once blurry eyes suddenly cleared. He stepped out of the Shuron Hakke state, staring at the wound on his belly in disbelief. A strange sense of familiarity struck his heart.
"You jerk!"
A fierce roar echoed as Kaido's body transformed into the Human-Beast form, holding in his hand. A bloody slash stretched across his chest to his navel, with the skin and flesh rolled up. Even Kaido's robust vitality struggled to heal rapidly, as if a strong will was impeding the growth of granulation.
"Gundari Ryuseigun (Meteor Shower of the Heavenly King)"
Enraged, the head of Kaido's mace suddenly enlarged, coated in dark Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki followed suit!
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
Boom!
If Kaido's Raimei Hakke is recognized for its speed, then Gundari Ryuseigun is undoubtedly a technique that blends power and speed!
The speed was so swift that Atlas couldn't draw his sword or turn around in time, and the hefty mace struck his chest squarely.
Almost instantly, the once plump chest caved in, and Atlas unmistakably felt...
The sternum is completely shattered!!!
Puff--!
A significant spurt of blood ejected, and Atlas's entire body was slammed into the sea below like a cannonball!
Boom boom!
With a thud, a void suddenly formed on the sea surface. Atlas' entire body displayed the word "大" limbs spread out, sinking to the sea bottom!
Swish!
But in the next second, an afterimage materialized in mid-air, and Atlas reappeared in the sky as if teleporting, facing Kaido with a cold gaze.
"It hurts a lot, Kaido!"
Observing Kaido still bleeding before him, Atlas didn't hesitate to acknowledge him.
His condition wasn't much better than Kaido's. His entire chest had completely caved in, nearly touching his back. White ribs protruded, and his scarlet flesh was laid bare. It was hard to recognize him as a human body!
"Do you finally grasp the difference between you and me, you brat!"
His fangs formed a wide grin, and the Hassaikai in his hands twirled restlessly. His eyes radiated contempt for the emperor of the sea. "No matter how potent your recovery is, if you come close to me... huh!!?"
Before Kaido could finish speaking, the gruesome injury on Atlas's chest mended rapidly. His internal organs healed, bones connected, and flesh sprouts grew wildly. Just by speaking, it was sufficient to instantly heal anyone's fatal wound! !
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you very clearly."
Under Kaido's disbelieving gaze, Atlas shifted his shoulder blades slightly, touched his now normal chest, and asked, pretending to be confused.(T/N: Horse Talisman for the win)
"....."
Kaido fell silent, subconsciously staring at the sizable gap in his chest, and even ceased swinging the in his hand.
What a resilient kid...
A ferocious glare filled Kaido's eyes, and his facial expression gradually darkened. As one of the Sanko, he found himself unable to do anything to a Marine youngster today.
If the fight continues this way, not only will he fail to gain any advantage, but it will actually boost the prestige of this Marine brat!
Moreover, this guy... has completely matured!
"Um!??"
Suddenly, Kaido's expression shifted, and a formidable life force abruptly emerged within his Observation Haki. At Kaido's level, his mastery of observation wouldn't be much inferior to Atlas, even if expanding the range to the maximum during battle was impossible. Nonetheless, he could still accurately sense the disturbances in his surroundings.
And this also implies that the possessor of that life force isn't too far from them!
"Shit!"
Kaido glanced down at the wound on his chest that hadn't fully healed yet. Despite some reluctance, he promptly made a decision.
Roar! !
With a deep roar, Kaido morphed into a azure dragon, flames billowing from his claws, and swiftly turned to escape.
'Want to leave! ! ?'
Atlas' eyes narrowed, and the power of the Rooster Talisman and the Rabbit Talisman kicked in instantly. Surprisingly, his speed surpassed Kaido's, and he promptly blocked Kaido's path.
"It's not that easy to leave!"
Atlas was well aware that Marine reinforcements had likely arrived, possibly led by the old man Garp. Hence, he couldn't allow Kaido to escape easily at this crucial moment.
"Get away!"
Kaido, in a fit of rage, opened his mouth, and numerous wind blades shot out.
Kaifu (Demolishing Wind)
The fearsome storm struck Atlas's body dead center. The sharp wind blade and the dense Armament Haki clashed violently, and numerous sparks scattered. Although Atlas's body was robust enough to endure it entirely, and it was too late for Kaido.
Pity...
Just when Kaido thought he was on the verge of leaving the battlefield, laughter erupted from behind him.
"Bwahahaha, Kaido, now that you're here, don't leave!!"
.....
The following day, a piece of news that astonished countless individuals circulated throughout the seas.
"Marine Candidate Admiral Hakuryu battled Kaido of the Beasts for three days and three nights, ultimately capturing Kaido alongside Marine hero Garp! !"
Atlas's name echoes across the seas once again, first mentioned by Shiki and then by Kaido of the Beasts. What kind of formidable monster is this newly emerged Marine star?! Is the Marine planning a full-scale assault on pirates?
In the New World, aboard the Moby Dick.
"Gurararara, that guy Kaido got sentenced to death by the Marines again."
Whitebeard lifted his head, took a hearty sip of wine, relishing the spicy flavor, and burst into laughter. "What a defiant kid!!"
"Anyway, this isn't the first time. Kaido's resilience is like that of a monster."
Marco replied casually.
He couldn't recall how many times Kaido had been reported captured by the Marines and sentenced to death, yet each time, he would escape unscathed after a while.
"Nevertheless, the guy in the Marines can now officially contend with Kaido. He's also an unimaginably powerful monster."
Whitebeard downed another bowl of white wine and tossed the newspaper he held beside him.
"You're indeed a good kid. I've only seen this kind of talent in that old lady Linlin. Gurararara!"
"However, this is just a glimpse of the great pirate era. Boys, let's have a party!"
"Party! Party! Party!"
"That's right, dad is the strongest man in the world. No matter how strong that Marine kid is, he can't beat dad!"
