The so-called Thundering Hakken.
In reality, it's just Kaido's normal attack, but entwined with high-quality Supreme King, which enables him to shatter the Five Emperors' Dream with one blow.
In contrast, "Descent of Three Worlds·Hiku Naraku" is a move named after the Four Great Kings...
This can be considered as Kaido's ultimate technique!
"Finally showing your true colors, Kaido!"
Shano grinned as he faced the terrifying thunderstorm that covered the sky, neither dodging nor retreating, not even raising a fist, but instead laughing wildly while spreading his arms!
Last year on Judicial Island.
After initially mastering Supreme King Entanglement, he integrated it into combat, creating the ultimate killer move "Divine Punishment," which Kaido blocked with just his chest.
The pure physical prowess was astonishing.
Now, time has passed...
Faced with Kaido's ultimate technique, it's time for him to have a go!
Boom——!!!
Purple-black and black-red thunder flickered and intertwined, surrounding the Wolf Fang Club, and with earth-shattering might, it struck heavily against Shano's muscular chest!
Thud!
A loud bang echoed, and Shano groaned, his massive figure instantly flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
After smashing through more than a dozen rocky mountains, he finally crashed into the top floor of a huge and magnificent castle a thousand meters away.
Inside the bedroom, the Black-clad Queen who was mumbling to herself in front of a mirror was instantly blown to pieces, the room collapsing and stirring up a cloud of dust.
No sound emerged for a long time.
The world of this story seemed to quiet for a moment.
Kaido descended from the sky, landing on the ground below the castle, his eyes slightly narrowed, he looked up coldly at the dust.
The next moment.
Crash!
The castle trembled violently, countless rubble sprayed, and a colossal figure over five meters high leaped out, baring teeth and shouting hoarsely:
"Ahhh! It hurts, hurts, hurts... It really hurts! I feel like I'm going to die!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Kaido's eyes widened, yelling as he pointed the Wolf Fang Club forward, veins bulging on his forehead, "You bastard, are you completely unharmed?!"
"Oh, have I been found out?"
Shano walked out of the dust, his figure gradually becoming clear.
He nonchalantly twisted his neck with his right hand, then looked down at the bloody dent in his chest, grinning:
"But it was indeed somewhat uncomfortable, your big stick is much more exciting than Kizaru's Ama no Murakumo!"
Even without discussing the Azure Dragon Fruit, Kaido's physique and endurance are world-class, but so what?
Using flesh and blood as a furnace, night and day, he trained his body for nearly ten years, his physique is equally at the pinnacle of toughness!
Such so-called ultimate techniques...
As expected, he can take them head-on with his body!
"Huh la la la! Don't be too arrogant, you brat!"
Kaido sneered ferociously, gripping the Wolf Fang Club with a creak, "If you're capable, don't counterattack, keep using your body to withstand it! Who do you think you are? Joyboy?!"
Even Joyboy couldn't do that...
This absolute confidence in one's body, this disdainful attitude towards enemies, used to be exclusively his!
When did it become anyone else's turn, this bastard!!!
The dissatisfaction in his chest seemed to desperately need to be vented, causing his whole chest to bulge like a balloon, as scorching Hot Breath gathered in his throat—
"Hot Breath!!!"
A fire pillar several meters in diameter spewed forth, wherever it went, both the earth and the towering ancient castle instantly burst into roaring flames, rendered into nothingness, revealing the blurry purple-black sky behind.
"It turns out you can use this move without turning into a dragon!"
Shano raised an eyebrow, finding it quite novel, then chuckled, instead of dodging, he rushed forward!
His right leg sliced through the fire wave like a War Axe, his black hair dancing wildly in the high temperatures, and in this slashing gap, his body had already dashed in front of Kaido.
His left fist, several times larger than a normal person's head, slammed down towards Kaido's head like a meteor!
"Your club is just like that!" Shano laughed recklessly, "Next, taste my full power strike, Kaido!"
As the words sounded, a cross-shaped crimson light lit up on his fist edge, dazzling and nearly illuminating the entire damaged sky!
This move is...
Kaido's pupils contracted.
"Galactic... Impact!"
Thud!
Crack!
The muffled sound of cheekbones collapsing and the crisp sound of the nose bridge breaking almost occurred simultaneously!
A gush of blood sprayed wildly from Kaido's nostrils, accompanying his whole body, which was knocked airborne by the punch.
Enduring such immense power at close range is difficult to dispel quickly, he had to fly out several hundred meters, even Kaido was no exception.
But during the backward flight, he suddenly side-swiped, and threw the Wolf Fang Club fiercely at Shano!
"Thunderous Hakken!!!"
This attack came rather abruptly, Shano crossed his arms to block, black-red lightning wove into a net on his body surface, the terrifying shock force pushed him out, his feet ploughing two deep trenches into the scorched earth tormented by flames.
Before he steadied himself, a fearsome wind pressure descended from above, Kaido had already fallen like a Demon God, reaching out to grab the Hassaikai for another strike!
"Too slow!"
Shano snarled in a low voice, his figure dodging like a phantom, the Wolf Fang Club scraped past his ear into the ground, while he already grabbed Kaido's right wrist, kneeing towards his arm!
Crack!
Amid the bone-crunching sound, Kaido's entire right arm twisted unnaturally.
Yet this demon-like monster paid no mind, laughing wildly as he twisted his body, his left elbow wrapped in wind and thunder, aiming full force at Shano's temple!
"Gururururu! The previous attack was just a feint, Shano, you fell for it!"
This attack was unavoidable.
Thud!
His vital point was hit, and a large area of Shano's skin was scraped off, bringing up a spray of blood and causing his gaze to drift for just an instant.
But it was just a mere instant!
After a brief moment of closing and reopening his eyes, Shano revealed a fierce expression, spread his arms, and wrapped them around Kaido's waist and abdomen, his muscles bulging and exploding like a volcano erupting suddenly—
"Smash him... for me!!!"
Boom!!!
The 5.2-meter giant flipped the 7.7-meter monster over his shoulder and slammed him into the ground, a terrifying shock wave rippling out in concentric circles.
The world, already fragmented from their intense battle, reached its limit and could no longer endure.
The ground around the castle shattered like a broken mirror, crackling into oblivion.
Shano followed Kaido, both falling into darkness.
The wind roared in their ears, as if they were plunging into a bottomless abyss...
————
Meanwhile, on the outside.
The crowd was engrossed in watching the flickering text when suddenly flames burst forth, burning up a dozen pages before dissipating on their own.
"Ah! What was that?"
Bonney and Nami recoiled simultaneously in shock.
BIGMOM's unfriendly gaze immediately turned to Mont-d'Or.
"It's not my fault, Mama, those two made such a commotion that the story world of that chapter couldn't withstand it and was completely destroyed."
Mont-d'Or protested, quickly assuring, "But don't worry, this is my largest volume, there are still many worlds left, it should be enough for those two to continue..."
"Is that so? You better truly be confident."
BIGMOM sneered.
Kaido and Shano have only been fighting for an hour!
This clueless, stupid son thought it was someone of his caliber fighting.
Does he even know how long monsters like them, standing at the peak of the world, can battle before exhausting their stamina!
——
Falling, still falling.
The darkness was endless, seemingly ready to devour everything.
But next—
Bzzz!
Blinding neon lights suddenly lit up, engine roaring, honking, and the bustling noises of a crowd surged into their ears like a tide.
Shano suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, realizing he was plummeting rapidly from the night sky.
Below was a bustling modern city, countless skyscrapers towered like a steel forest, the streets were a river of vehicles, and pedestrians swarmed like ants.
"Oh? Have we entered the next chapter of the book?"
Shano's eyes flashed with a rare sense of nostalgia, a grin spreading across his face, "Where did they collect this folk tale from, it resembles Earth quite a bit!"
It was expected.
Pirate World, with innumerable islands with wildly differing technological levels, hosts countless unique fantastical worlds envisioned by its diverse inhabitants.
Compared to the futuristic appearance of Egghead Island, this story world in front of him wasn't all that surprising.
Boom!
Both of them crashed onto a wide street, the asphalt surface instantly cracked, the shock wave flipping over a dozen speeding cars, pedestrians screamed in horror, fleeing in panic in all directions.
"Gurururu!! Interesting! What creepy place is this now!"
Kaido did a swift kip-up off the ground, stood up, wiped away the blood from his mouth, and surveyed his surroundings.
Since his youth, he'd loved jumping from tens of thousands of meters high, having gotten used to this suicidal habit.
This height was nothing to him.
Shano, however, laying in a deep pit, tilted his head a bit uncomfortably, then climbed out of the ground.
Next to him was a parked heavy truck, which he effortlessly grabbed with one hand, lifted it up, and with a sinister grin, hurled it toward the figure focused on watching the large screen at the street corner!
"What's so interesting about this place? Now isn't the time to get distracted, Kaido!"
Boom!
Kaido staggered a few steps forward after being slammed by the heavy truck, but quickly steadied himself, letting out a displeased cold snort before swinging his Wolf Fang Club fiercely.
Thud!
Shano was struck by the club, sent flying backward, crashing into a red and white striped TV tower which twisted, broke, and slowly toppled.
Then it instantly transformed into countless blurry blocks and vanished without a trace.
The large screens on the surrounding buildings, originally broadcasting the news, suddenly lost signal, flickering with static.
"Is it the same as the previous world, disappearing directly?"
Shano stepped out from the base's ruins, glancing at the now-gone TV tower.
Only now did he see the appearance of the pedestrians around.
Many people had exactly the same build and attire, recycled models with just a few variations, as if copy-pasted en masse, and each one was extremely pixelated with faces lacking distinctive features.
