Chapter 378 Rising Dragon Hakke
As the battle below officially began, Brett also engaged Kaido in combat.
"Bad Wind!!"
Just opening his mouth to exhale, countless wind blades already erupted from Kaido.
Each blade was massive enough to tear apart a small mountain—and truly possessed such power.
If this attack landed on a small town, it would instantly shred it to pieces.
"Haven't learned your lesson yet?"
Brett chuckled softly. "I thought you'd already understand—when comparing abilities, I'm stronger."
Wind gathered around Brett, then transformed into even more, larger, sharper blades slicing through the air.
After brief confrontation, Brett's wind blades again suppressed Kaido's attack, overwhelming him from all directions.
"If you're still interested, we can play this game as many times as you like."
Brett smiled leisurely. "Whether fire or wind, clouds or lightning—I'll accommodate whatever you want to compare."
"Don't get cocky, you bastard!!"
Kaido roared, crashing through the countless wind blades.
Though furious, though hateful, he had to admit—this knockoff bastard's abilities exceeded his own.
"I'll burn you to ash!!"
"Oh, comparing flames now?"
Brett chuckled. "I'm fine with that too."
"Rising Dragon—"
Kaido roared. Flames flowed from his mouth, gradually enveloping his entire body.
Ominous dark crimson flames—viscous as magma. At this moment they'd even gained physical form, allowing Haki to wrap around them.
However—
"—Flame Hakke!"
Brett called out the technique's latter half.
Brilliant golden flames likewise flowed from his mouth, wrapping around his entire body.
In just a blink, two flame dragons floated in the sky.
"What is that?!"
On the frozen sea, Yamato couldn't help looking up. "The sea's about to melt!!"
This temperature was no joke!
Even with Haki as defense, weaker individuals would probably melt the instant they touched these two flame dragons.
"Have time to look around?!"
The great bird with flames burning behind its head descended from above. "Imperial Flaming Wings!!"
Massive wings wrapped in pitch-black Haki—already remarkable hardness enhanced by Haki to become absolutely impenetrable.
However—
"Your defense doesn't work on me anymore, King!"
Yamato gripped her kanabo with both hands. Between crackling black lightning, Armament and Conqueror's Haki fused together, simultaneously wrapping the club with internal destruction technique.
The next instant, she launched upward. The club struck.
BOOM!
The air violently shook.
Under the Beasts Pirates members' shocked gazes, King's massive body flew sideways like a broken kite, then crashed onto the sea's surface.
"Eh! King just got—"
Among the Beasts Pirates ranks, a young girl wearing a mask with horns on her head cried out in shock.
"What a joke! What's that guy doing?!"
Queen also stood dumbfounded.
Though he'd always resented that bastard's position as Beasts Pirates' second-in-command, Queen recognized his strength!
That bastard was a Lunarian descendant—the race once called gods who could survive any extreme environment.
In pure physical defense, that bastard even exceeded Kaido-san!
How could he be sent flying by one strike from that idiot girl Yamato?!
From the ice crater he'd created, King stood up.
His eyes glanced downward at his right arm.
The forearm bent strangely. The bone was broken.
"Conqueror's Coating!"
King said gravely.
When fighting this girl before, her club had already been able to injure him—but that was just Armament, albeit with internal destruction capability.
But now she'd even mastered Conqueror's Coating, apparently fused with Armament's internal destruction.
"So like I said earlier—"
Yamato smiled confidently. "Your defense can no longer stop me!"
She launched forward.
King's expression turned extremely grave.
Yamato had mastered a weapon capable of piercing his defense.
Should he say—worthy of Kaido-san's bloodline?
Could he win? Facing this girl, could he actually win?
King took flight, instantly ascending skyward.
"Imperial Flame Dragon!!"
Since close combat couldn't defend against her attacks, he'd use ranged fighting to hold her off!
Absolutely couldn't let this girl interfere with Kaido-san's battle!
Even if he couldn't win, he absolutely couldn't lose!
A massive fire dragon descended from above. Yamato quickly dodged aside. The fire dragon next instant punched through the ice surface, plunging into the sea.
The seawater below boiled directly. The ice accelerated melting.
"What a joke!"
While releasing cold air to further freeze the ice, Yamato shouted loudly. "What is with this guy?!"
Wasn't he an Ancient Zoan user? Why could he release flames like this?!
Though she'd lived on Onigashima many years, Yamato honestly hadn't had deep contact with King.
"Oh, so that's a Lunarian?"
Tesoro in the sky said with interest. "Quite remarkable ability."
"I heard reporting this race's whereabouts to the Government earns a hundred million berries."
"Hey, hey, Tesoro—looking around at a time like this really makes me lose face."
Doflamingo, standing atop a pillar of string, moved both hands. Spears formed from countless threads thrust toward Tesoro.
"Well."
Tesoro smiled. His right hand formed a blade shape. The next moment it became gold, wrapped in Haki, transforming into a golden blade.
Just waving his hand, the string spears attacking him were instantly severed.
"After all—"
Tesoro smiled at Doflamingo, whose expression gradually darkened. "Facing you, there's really no sense of urgency."
"Fufufu... fufufu..."
In the sky.
The two flame dragons had completely formed.
"Damn it!! Brett!!"
Kaido looked at the opposing flame dragon—identical to himself except for color. His fury was obvious.
"Go to hell!"
The dark crimson flame dragon's head wrapped in pitch-black Haki. Kaido charged toward Brett.
Brett naturally showed no fear, likewise charging forward.
BOOM!!
The dark crimson and golden flame dragons instantly collided.
Black lightning shot in all directions. The clouds above split apart.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Kaido roared but couldn't overpower his opponent.
"That's it?"
Then Brett's laughter reached Kaido's ears. "Then I'm applying force now."
The golden flame dragon's body instantly blazed brighter.
After brief confrontation, the dark crimson flame dragon's head began cracking.
"What?!"
Kaido's pupils contracted. The next instant, golden flames rushed toward him.
Couldn't compare at all to this guy! This bastard's power had grown even stronger!
The golden flame dragon shattered the dark crimson dragon's head, then crashed into Kaido wrapped in the dragon's center.
"Gwahhhh!!"
Thus, naturally, screams scattered across the field.
Terrifying impact force plus astonishing heat—even Kaido couldn't withstand it.
"Hey, hey—we're not done yet."
Brett chuckled softly. The golden flame dragon pushed Kaido, crashing toward Onigashima.
The just-rebuilt Onigashima was again shattered to pieces in this instant.
No—not shattered. It melted the instant it contacted the golden flame dragon. Or rather, directly vaporized.
No wonder. This was ultra-high temperature even Kaido struggled to endure.
"Kaido-san!!!"
Queen shrieked.
Was the power gap truly this enormous?
