Chapter 382 The End of the Beasts
Thunder Bagua versus Thunder Bagua.
Kaido's power had reached its limit. He was nearly waking from his drunken state.
His arms' muscles swelled to the extreme—now resembling two crude pillars.
His roar pierced the sky like thunder. Sound waves alone scattered surrounding clouds.
But Brett was now completely enveloped in lightning. The erupting electricity illuminated everything like a small sun.
Electric Current Drive operated mercilessly at maximum output. More critically—half the energy stored within his body was now mobilized by Brett, concentrated into this single punch.
Iron fist and iron club collided through the air.
Invisible shockwaves clashed. At the very center, a pitch-black point formed—spreading like a black hole, shattering even the air itself.
The intense confrontation lasted perhaps one second. Then the next instant—
An ear-piercing crack rang out.
"What?!"
Kaido cried out in disbelief.
Initially just a small crack, then spreading across the entire club in a blink.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Kaido felt his hands empty.
Only shattered club fragments remained in his grip.
"Now it ends."
Brett chuckled softly. His fist had already struck Kaido's chest.
The hastily summoned Haki intended to block the attack scattered instantly. The incredibly tough scales—easily resisting blades and bullets—shattered directly.
Even bones with hardness far exceeding steel fractured simultaneously the next second.
Nearly half of Brett's forearm pierced into Kaido's chest.
The Haki wrapped around his fist invaded Kaido's body wantonly. Muscles, bones, organs—internal destruction Haki instantly turned Kaido's insides upside down.
"Gwahh!!"
Kaido's eyeballs nearly flew from their sockets. His pupils rolled back completely out of sight. Blood sprayed from his mouth at speeds rivaling cannonballs.
His backward flight speed exceeded even cannonballs.
Ring after ring of shockwaves spread in all directions following Kaido's body's flight—ring after ring of sonic boom clouds.
At this speed, he'd fly directly beyond the sea area Yamato had frozen, then crash into Wano's inland sea.
But fortunately, he didn't fly far.
Because the instant he was struck, Brett's flame clouds had already wrapped him. Even unable to instantly erase the force of being sent flying, it was enough for Brett to drag him back.
Brett manipulated flame clouds to pull Kaido before him.
Kaido had been forced out of dragon-man form, reverting to ordinary human shape.
This man's chest had completely caved inward—like a basin.
More astonishing—at the basin's center was a deep crater, embedded into Kaido's body interior, nearly piercing his lungs.
For ordinary people, such injuries would mean death ten times over.
But Kaido was Kaido after all—the monster people fearfully called the strongest creature.
Even with such injuries, he hadn't lost consciousness. His pupils were nearly dyed completely red with blood, yet still glared fixedly at Brett.
His arms trembled. Muscles twitched. Laboriously raising his fist, seemingly still wanting to strike Brett once more.
"That's enough."
Brett smiled, patting Kaido's shoulder. "Bravely acknowledging defeat is what the strong do."
Though retaining consciousness, the current Kaido had no strength left to retaliate.
The strongest creature was still a creature. With internal organs destroyed beyond recognition, he couldn't possess counterattack strength.
Brett descended slowly with Kaido.
Simultaneously, violent Conqueror's Haki—centered on him—instantly howled downward, directly sweeping the entire battlefield. Black lightning spread across the sky like a spider's web.
The Beasts Pirates members fiercely battling the samurai all trembled at this moment, then rolled their eyes back, frothing at the mouth, collapsing unconscious.
"Pay-Pay!!"
The girl who'd transformed into a Pachycephalosaurus watched her trembling brother collapse to his knees, unable to help screaming.
But even her own body trembled, then staggered into a sitting position.
"No way?"
Queen's forehead instantly covered in cold sweat.
This Conqueror's Haki intensity was ridiculously strong—even deeply shaking him.
But the point wasn't the Conqueror's Haki itself, but the person using it.
He raised his head in disbelief. In the sky, the red dragon-man was gripping a man, slowly descending.
Queen had nearly frozen in this instant. "How can this be? Kaido-san... was defeated..."
"We won!!"
Compared to Queen, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi blocking his path already had faces flushed red with excitement.
Too strong! Simply too strong, Brett!
So easily defeating Kaido—completely obtaining victory in this battle!
"Yeah!!"
Having just knocked down the last Numbers with one strike, preparing to help comrades on other battlefields—Yamato also cheered excitedly.
"Brilliantly done, Brett!"
I knew it—you could do it, Brett!
"Oh? We won?"
As Brett descended to midair, Tesoro launched over. He also held a guy in his hand.
It was Doflamingo. This guy's sunglasses had flown off somewhere. A massive lump bulged on his head. He'd completely fallen unconscious.
Tesoro glanced at Kaido still glaring fixedly at Brett, then grinned.
"Looks like I'm slightly more impressive."
He said.
"Huh?"
Brett raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because I finished this guy faster than you finished Kaido." Tesoro shook the Doflamingo he held.
Brett rolled his eyes.
What strange comparison standard was this?
But whatever. Time to end this war.
Descending to midair not far above the sea surface, Brett spoke. "The war ends here. All Beasts Pirates members—if you still want to fight, let me be your opponent."
"What a joke! Release Kaido-san!"
The blood-soaked mammoth roared furiously.
Then the next instant, violent electric light descended from above, transforming into a pillar of light directly engulfing him.
Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a fellow Fish-Man.
The lightning scattered. The man named Jack had already collapsed on the ground, body completely charred, even emitting a pungent smell.
"Anyone else?"
Brett asked.
No one dared raise their head to look at him.
