"Wororororo! Good timing!"
Seeing Carlo cut in halfway through.
The warlike Kaido was not surprised, but delighted.
Without a word, he pulled back the spiked club that had been held against Carlo's fist and backhanded the half-corpse Carlo had thrown at him.
He smashed Samuro's mangled corpse back like a baseball.
Carlo was in mid-air with nothing to push off of, but his feet suddenly stepped on the empty air like a phantom.
Boom!!
The air he stepped on exploded violently, bursting into a cloud of white airwaves and generating a fierce counterforce. This pushed his body upward like a cannonball, soaring more than ten meters and avoiding the smashed corpse.
"Hmm? This is... a Marine technique?" Kaido let out a cry of surprise, a sharp, murderous aura suddenly bursting from his eyes.
"Brat, are you a Marine?!"
Carlo didn't answer. He simply raised his right leg high above his head in mid-air and then chopped down violently.
Swish!!
As his right leg smashed down like a Battle-Axe, a white, silk-like slash suddenly erupted from Carlo's leg, slashing down fiercely from dozens of meters in the air toward the top of Kaido's head!
"Tempest Kick! Battle-Axe!"
The sharp slash shot toward him, but Kaido's massive body moved with speed and reaction that were completely disproportionate, dodging with a slight sidestep.
The crescent-like white slash grazed his body and sliced into the ground beside him.
The hard road, paved with large bluestones, was as fragile as tofu cut by a sharp blade, with a narrow, bottomless crack more than ten meters long being carved out.
After dodging Carlo's strike, the murderous aura in Kaido's eyes grew even more intense.
He seemed to recall some unpleasant past.
The excitement he had shown when he first saw Carlo gradually turned into a violent killing intent.
Looking at Carlo in mid-air as he raised his leg again, Kaido roared.
"Tempest Kick? Six Powers?"
"Damn brat! You really are a Marine?!"
"You talk too much!"
"Kaido!!"
The muscles in Carlo's long legs beneath his beach shorts tightened like two continuously drawn bowstrings. In an instant, he kicked out dozens of sharp slashes toward the ground below.
The slashes covered the sky and the earth, falling like a rainstorm and blanketing Kaido's massive body without leaving any blind spots.
"Tempest Kick: Chaos!"
"Marine... Marine!" Kaido's teeth ground together audibly as he suddenly roared.
"The thing I hate most in this life is the Marines!!"
Amidst Carlo's overwhelming Tempest Kick slashes, he didn't even try to dodge, letting dozens of slashes land on his body.
The next moment, a scene appeared that made Carlo's pupils contract.
Amidst the storm of Tempest Kick slashes.
Kaido stood his ground, the muscles all over his body bulging violently, shimmering with a dark luster like cast iron.
Those large, protruding, thick tendons felt like a bunch of pythons entwined together.
Or bundles of tightly wound steel bars!
The Tempest Kick slashes he kicked over, which were enough to easily cut through steel, could only barely break the skin on the surface of Kaido's body, carving out shallow bloodstains.
Then they were rendered useless, bounced off by the bulging muscles beneath Kaido's skin!
Looking at the muscles on Kaido's body that were tougher than steel, Carlo couldn't help but lick his lips.
His eyes were shining!
Is this the tough body of the strongest creature, known in the future as 'Indestructible Diamond'?
Even though the current Kaido was three years younger than him.
At only fifteen years old, Kaido already possessed such a powerful body!
This kind of Physique couldn't be achieved through mere training.
This was the racial talent of Kaido's special race, the Oni Race!
Plus his own bloodline.
It created a monster's constitution!
The attribute value of this Physique must be at least ten points higher than his, above 70!
Maybe even higher!
At this moment, Carlo was almost drooling with envy!
"I want it so bad!"
Just at the moment Carlo was slightly distracted.
Kaido, who had taken his full set of Tempest Kick slashes, had his muscles bulge violently. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Carlo as he gripped his spiked club, crouched with his thick legs, and leaped suddenly!
Rumble!!
The moment he jumped, the ground beneath him exploded, creating a crater dozens of meters in diameter.
Half the street in Rocky Port shook violently, and houses collapsed.
Kaido's massive body shot into the sky like a rocket, leaping dozens of meters in an instant.
The spiked club gripped in his hand crushed through the air, letting out a wailing screech like ghosts and wolves.
Moreover, because of the extreme speed, strands of silver-white electric arcs burst from the sharp spikes!
"This move... could it be?" Carlo's pupils shrank as he watched.
"Marine brat! I'm going to slaughter you!!"
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Kaido roared, using his still-youthful voice to shout his classic move.
This was the Thunder Bagua—the professional cure for kingly arrogance!
Zzzzt—!
Silver-white electric arcs were entwined around the heavy, pitch-black spiked club, which smashed down like a phantom of black and white directly toward Carlo's chest.
A dangerous sensation that made the hairs on Carlo's body stand on end attacked him fiercely.
It made him instinctively want to dodge.
His body was warning him, instinctively wanting to flee!
But at the critical moment, Carlo forced himself to suppress this instinct.
Under Kaido's stunned gaze, the foot that had stepped back with Moonwalk forced itself to jump back. Turning passive into active, he grinned and charged straight into the spiked club!
"A real man! Never dodges a frontal assault!"
"Let me taste the flavor of your club!!"
"Armament! Vajra Martial Body!!"
Carlo clenched his fists, and the shirt on his upper body instantly burst.
Muscles covered in hideous scars bulged like blocks of violent lava.
A glaze-like pitch-black luster quickly emerged from under his skin, entwining and wrapping around his entire upper body.
It made him look as if he had instantly turned into a black Vajra Wisdom King!
His forehead, where the pitch-black luster had emerged, collided violently with the spiked club gripped in Kaido's hand!
Clang!!
An explosion of metal hitting metal erupted!
The atmosphere in mid-air seemed to be blown apart. At the moment of their collision, howling storms were kicked up.
Their collision only stalled for an instant!
Carlo, who had used his head to ram the spiked club, was sent flying heavily amidst Kaido's roar. Head down and feet up, he was like a cannonball, whistling as he smashed diagonally from the air into the ground.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Houses were smashed through one by one by Carlo's body.
It was as if an earthquake had occurred on Rocky Port island.
The streets and the ground cracked continuously.
Carlo flew for over a hundred meters, crashing through five or six buildings before being intercepted by the ground, smashing a giant crater more than ten meters in diameter into the earth.
In the collapsed pit, Carlo lay on his back with his mouth wide open, his chest heaving violently, and his face covered in blood.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused, and the world before him was pitch black.
His brain was still shaking violently.
There was a buzzing sound in his ears.
His head hurt so much it felt like it would explode!
Carlo had still been a bit too arrogant.
He was almost knocked unconscious by Kaido's strike.
The power of this strike was truly—
Too intense!!
It seemed this guy Kaido hadn't even used Haki!
This was pure physical strength!
Having taken this hit head-on, even though he had used Armament Haki for defense, he still had a bit of a concussion.
However, the corners of Carlo's mouth uncontrollably curled up and widened.
He let out a hearty laugh.
The laughter pierced through the swirling dust, echoing over the shattered Rocky Port and reaching the ears of Kaido, who was striding over with a grim face and his club in hand.
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha! Hahahahahah!"
"Refreshing!!"
"So intense!!"
If you ask why Carlo was so happy?
That was because—
Ding!
Physique +1!
