----------
Skull Dome, rooftop.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, perfect for combat training!
"Hurry, Governor Kaido is about to fight Supreme Commander Daichi!"
"So exciting!"
"Supreme Commander Daichi must win!"
"Bullshit! The Governor is the strongest!"
The pirates excitedly arrived at the rooftop.
Center of the battlefield.
"Wororororo!!!"
Kaido took a large gulp of sake, his gaze falling upon Daichi and Yamato standing together, his fighting spirit soaring even higher.
"Daichi, we haven't had a serious match yet, have we?"
"Indeed, we haven't."
Daichi removed his outer coat.
A long time ago, he had fought Kaido several times, mostly getting beaten one-sidedly, like a punching bag.
At that time, his goal was to learn.
He eventually mastered Conqueror's Haki.
Daichi gripped his greatsword.
When fighting Kaido, it was better to use a weapon. He didn't want to take a direct hit from that spiked club with his bare fists.
As for wrestling, it wasn't suitable against Kaido. The size difference was too great, making grappling impossible.
"Wahahaha! I'm here too!"
Yamato raised her kanabo, even more excited than Daichi. "Father, I've gotten much stronger! This time, I definitely won't lose to you!"
"Wororororo! Then both of you come at me!"
Kaido laughed loudly.
This foolish daughter finally made him worry less.
He was happy!
However, he wouldn't hold back.
Kaido swung his kanabo, and dark Conqueror's Haki erupted from his entire body.
"Are you ready?!"
"Of course!"
Daichi's lips curved upward, feeling the aura beside him.
"Yamato, I'll coordinate with you."
"Alright!"
Yamato nodded vigorously, swinging her kanabo into the exact same stance as Kaido. She hadn't fought her father in a long time and had been looking forward to this moment during the journey back.
Memories of countless beatings resurfaced!
This time, she was determined to make that scoundrel father feel some pain!
Almost simultaneously, the father and daughter roared and charged at each other.
"Thunder Bagua!!!"
"Thunder Bagua!!!"
"Clang!!!"
The kanabos collided, and a surging shockwave spread outward!
A hint of surprise appeared in Kaido's eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Yamato to block his Thunder Bagua head-on.
This girl really had gotten stronger!
Daichi appeared from Yamato's side, gripping his greatsword with both hands and sweeping it horizontally toward Kaido's head. The sharp Haki made Kaido's skin tingle.
"Clang!"
A dragon tail blocked the blade!
"Wororororo!!!"
Kaido laughed loudly, immediately activating his Human-Beast form. After sensing their Haki, he clearly understood that they were no longer opponents he could easily defeat.
"Clang!"
Weapons bounced apart!
Kaido gripped his kanabo tightly with both hands, his muscles bulging and veins popping, swinging the weapon at high speed with movements difficult to follow.
The next moment, countless afterimages of the kanabo enveloped Daichi and Yamato, leaving no space to dodge!
"Gundari Prosperous Dragon Army!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Daichi and Yamato rapidly swung their weapons, blocking all the afterimages of the kanabo. If it were just one person, there might have been gaps in their defense, but with both of them working together, it was no problem at all.
Within a dozen seconds, only the sound of clashing weapons remained between the two sides!
"Boom!!!"
The ground cracked, and dust billowed!
Daichi and Yamato simultaneously flew backward from the dust cloud, spun in mid-air to land, and then slid back more than ten meters.
Across from them, Kaido did the same.
"Yamato!"
Daichi called out in his mind, gradually adjusting his Haki to a level close to Yamato's. His Observation Haki also extended with Yamato's, like intertwined threads.
Haki Synchronization!
He wasn't sure how strong his Observation Haki was now.
Perhaps knowing too much about the future made him uninterested in foreseeing it, and he had never developed in that direction.
But conversely, his perception of auras gradually improved: emotions, Haki, states—as long as he remained calm, he could perceive them clearly, almost like having X-ray vision.
Additionally, fighting Kaido alone, he could manage a four-six split, but now he just wanted to coordinate with Yamato.
Husband and wife combining forces, invincible under heaven!
"Eh?"
Yamato blinked, looking at Daichi in confusion. How strange, did Daichi just speak to her?
"It's me."
Daichi's voice came from her mind.
He really did speak!
Yamato's eyes widened, and she tried calling out in her mind.
"Daichi?"
"Yes."
Daichi smiled.
The essence of Observation Haki was the outward projection of spiritual power. Through an Observation Haki connection, their emotions and thoughts could be instantly transmitted to each other.
"Let Kaido see it, Yamato."
"Right!"
The two stepped forward, simultaneously activating their transformation forms, their speed suddenly increasing. A red and a white streak of light charged toward Kaido!
"Wororororo! Interesting!"
Kaido laughed loudly as he ran forward, meeting Daichi and Yamato.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"
Black, white, and red—three streaks of light continuously chased each other across the battlefield!
Only the sound of clashing weapons remained in the air!
"Can't see!"
The pirates stared wide-eyed, but couldn't clearly see the three combatants. Only the high-ranking officers, relying on Observation Haki and excellent vision, could make out the figures left behind when the three collided.
"So powerful!"
Black Maria's eyes constantly shifted.
With every attack Yamato made, Daichi could perfectly follow up, and when Kaido attacked, he would block, creating opportunities for Yamato.
Their coordination was incredibly seamless!
Center of the battlefield.
"Wororororo!!!"
Kaido roared, swinging his kanabo and sending Yamato flying. Before he could retract his weapon, Daichi had already appeared in front of him, kicking him squarely in the abdomen.
When he raised his kanabo, just about to counterattack Daichi, Daichi dodged to the side, and a shockwave appeared behind him.
"Namuji Glacier Fang!"
"Gah!"
Kaido flew backward, tumbling and bouncing on the ground, crashing through huge boulders. In this process, a red and a white streak of light pursued him from the left and right sides.
As soon as he stabilized his body, the two had already appeared on his flanks, perfectly timed, simultaneously swinging their weapons.
"Crack!"
Kaido extended his dragon claw, gripping the kanabo and greatsword tightly!
The next moment, Daichi and Yamato simultaneously released their weapons.
Daichi leaped up, clasping his hands together and smashing them heavily onto Kaido's head, forcing his head toward the ground. Yamato, from below, delivered an uppercut that slammed into his jaw!
A combined attack!
"Gah!"
Blood spurted out!
Kaido's eyes rolled back, and he staggered backward several steps as if about to kneel. Before he could even stand firm, Daichi and Yamato attacked again, their fists and feet continuously striking his body.
He couldn't block them!
Even if he blocked one of them, the other's attack would arrive instantly, leaving no openings whatsoever.
It was as if he was facing one person!
"What in the world is going on?!"
Kaido couldn't understand. He was clearly fighting two people, but he felt like his opponent was just one person—or, more accurately, one mind controlling two bodies.
How could their coordination be so perfect?!
"Wororororo!!!"
Kaido was enraged by the beating, roaring as he transformed into a giant Azure Dragon, his body rapidly spinning, causing weather phenomena.
"Tatsumaki Kaifu!"
In Azure Dragon form, close-quarters combat coordination would be ineffective.
"Waaahhh!!!"
The fierce wind howled, and Yamato was caught off guard, swept into the sky. Fortunately, Daichi appeared behind her and gently caught her.
"Yamato!"
"Yes, Daichi!"
The two landed on the ground, picked up their weapons, and faced the giant Azure Dragon. They exchanged glances, seeing each other's thoughts in their eyes. The next moment, they raised their weapons.
"That stance!"
Kaido's pupils contracted.
Daichi and Yamato roared, swinging their weapons with all their might toward the Azure Dragon!
"Hakai!!!"
