Sizzle!
Kaido clenched and opened his fist, his palm glowing with a crimson-black Haki that crackled like lightning, moving between his fingers.
Haki is a power hidden deep within the human body. When people learn to control this special power, it can transform into a formidable weapon!
Most people possess Armament Haki and Observation Haki. These two types of Haki can continuously improve and evolve through the host's training and battles.
Armament Haki varies from person to person in both quality and quantity.
It can generally be divided into Coiling Hardening, Flowing Emission, and Internal Destruction.
If it were to be graded, it would correspond to Beginner, Advanced, and Top-tier.
Observation Haki sharpens one's five senses, leading to extrasensory perception. It allows one to sense the aura of surrounding beings and changes in their emotions. This Haki is used for premonition and avoiding danger.
When cultivated to an advanced level, one can see a few seconds into the future.
Observation Haki has multiple functions: sensing attacks, predicting an opponent's next move, perceiving the strength of living beings, sensing emotions and thoughts, and perceiving the location and number of objects outside one's field of vision. These are all basic abilities of Observation Haki, and their range and intensity also vary from person to person.
It is said that a very small number of individuals possess an extremely rare form of Observation Haki, capable of sensing an opponent's thoughts and emotions, and conveying the user's own consciousness to others, influencing their minds and thoughts to create a strong resonance.
For example, Redfield can delve deep into an opponent's mind, achieving mind-reading and memory recall.
Conqueror's Haki, however, is an exception, appearing in only one out of millions of people. The intensity of Conqueror's Haki is related to the host's own spirit and deterrent power.
"A year of training is worth several years of hard work in my previous life… "
Ever since he became an Azure Dragon Fruit user, Kaido has never stopped cultivating, refining his body. Although his current physical strength cannot compare to his peak in his previous life, deflecting swords, spears, and halberds is no problem at all.
If he trains for another five or six years, Kaido's body will be able to match his peak state from his previous life.
After that, it will be the awakening of the Azure Dragon Fruit.
As the strongest Devil Fruit, the Azure Dragon Fruit possesses the most comprehensive and perfect hexagonal abilities.
It can endure, escape, fly, and use various supernatural powers. One Devil Fruit possesses the powers of several Devil Fruits!
Tell me, which Devil Fruit has such perfect abilities?
Although Kaido knew in his previous life that only when the user's power matches the Devil Fruit's power can the Devil Fruit awaken.
But in his previous life, Kaido never took that step.
If he had been able to awaken his Devil Fruit in his previous life, perhaps he would not have lost that battle!
"The Azure Dragon Fruit's abilities are too comprehensive, so comprehensive it doesn't seem like a normal Devil Fruit… Speaking of which, if I can perfectly match with this Devil Fruit, how terrifyingly strong will my awakening be?"
Kaido muttered to himself, his eyes full of confidence.
With the experience accumulated in his previous life, his current use of supernatural powers is no less than in his previous life.
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked behind him. Around the corner of the ridge, Wald walked with a swagger, a smile on his face.
Kaido stood still, a slight smile playing on his lips. The cold wind ruffled his long hair, and the shape of his muscles was clearly visible on his broad forehead: "Wald, it's rare for you to have time to come here. What's up? Has something good happened?"
Wald smiled and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. My brother monitored the Den Den Mushi of a nearby Marine base and got important intelligence."
Kaido became interested: "Tell me."
"Vice Admiral Zephyr will lead three nearby Marine bases to encircle and suppress us!"
Wald burst into laughter, looking as if he wished for chaos: "How about that, is it important intelligence?"
"Oh?" Kaido narrowed his eyes, smiling playfully: "You don't seem worried, do you?"
Wald waved his hand: "With you and me working together, even if Garp and Sengoku come, we might not be without a fighting chance! Let alone a mere Black Arm Zephyr!"
Kaido laughed loudly: "You're right!"
"Black Arm Zephyr has extremely high prestige among the common people and the Marine. If we can successfully defeat him, it will perfectly curb the Marine's arrogant momentum after the God Valley Incident!"
The God Valley Incident, heavily sensationalized by the Marine, had molded Garp the Fist into an invincible hero, even becoming a sort of faith for the Marine.
This led countless young people from the populace to join the Marine out of admiration.
Kaido scoffed at this. Indeed, Garp the Fist was very strong, but the Marine's actions were truly too unsightly.
Black Arm Zephyr's leadership of this expedition was quite significant. Kaido pondered for a moment, and it was mostly related to the Oren Kingdom.
"Have the people below prepare. I don't want this newly established paradise to turn to ashes."
Wald immediately understood: "Where will the battle take place?"
Kaido's eyes turned cold, and he showed a playful smile: "The uninhabited island, Tracros… After the battle, it will be time to settle scores with certain people!"
Wald was tall, but still a head shorter than Kaido. From his perspective, he could just catch a momentary flash of bloodlust in Kaido's pupils… Meanwhile, near Winter Island, Marine Branch Base G21.
In the conference room, the heads of the three Marine bases, two Vice Admirals, and one Rear Admiral sat around a table, silently staring at the intelligence in their hands.
They were ordered to meet at Marine Base G21. The target of this expedition was Kaido, a former apprentice of the Rocks Pirates.
Even though the target was an 'apprentice,' they dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Simply because the bounty on him exceeded 700 million Berries!
Issuing a bounty of 700 million Berries for an apprentice showed how much the Marine valued Kaido.
"Although I didn't have the chance to participate in that incident, from the intelligence, the opponent seems to be a Zoan Devil Fruit user."
A young female Rear Admiral, wearing earrings and dressed like a punk, held a slender ladies' cigarette in her mouth.
The pungent smell of tar drifted over, causing the bearded Vice Admiral Wei Lun next to her to frown. He squeezed his legs together, rubbing them, and said with a high-pitched, affected voice: "Rear Admiral Lily, please don't smoke."
Pfft—!!
The two Marine officers couldn't help but spit out their food, banging on the table and clutching their stomachs, laughing loudly: "Too high-pitched! Your voice is too high-pitched!!"
Rear Admiral Lily even mimicked Vice Admiral Wei Lun's leg-rubbing posture, pinching her throat to imitate Wei Lun's voice.
As soon as she finished, Rear Admiral Lily and the other Vice Admiral Kerber couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"Hey, aren't you being too disrespectful! Eek—ya!!"
Vice Admiral Wei Lun's face flushed with anger. He made a girlish gesture and gently pushed Rear Admiral Lily next to him.
Bang!
Rear Admiral Lily was directly pushed away, spinning and embedding herself into the wall with a rumbling sound. A crack tore through the wall, and half of the ceiling crashed down with a snap.
As luck would have it, it landed directly on Zephyr's head as he pushed open the door and entered.
