Chapter 281 Kizaru VS Kaido!
BOOM—!!
Several thick, dark red octopus tentacles stretched between Kaido's Eight Guards and the Raikage.
At the cost of three tentacles exploding, they managed to stop it!
Killer Bee, the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki, makes his appearance!
brush--
The octopus tentacles swept up the heavily injured Raikage and the Cloud Village members. Killer Bee said nothing and decisively chose to escape with his men.
The Eight-Tails clearly told him that the half-dragon giant in front of him had completely surpassed the limits of humanity, and the pure physical pressure was comparable to that of Hashirama Senju back then!
"Trying to run away?"
Kaido snorted coldly and made a move to give chase.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
Small Tailed Beast Balls shot out with a whoosh, exploding and obscuring Kaido's vision.
brush--
With a swing of his spiked club, Kaido easily dispersed the dust and rubble. The giant octopus in their sight had already swept them up and disappeared into the mountains at an extremely fast speed.
……
"hehe……"
Kaido did not choose to pursue, but looked in the direction where Killer Bee disappeared, a cruel smile curving his lips.
He has achieved his goal.
The spiked club drooped, and the dark red blood on the spikes seemed to come alive, wriggling up to the palm of the hand and disappearing into the pores.
During the battle just now, he injected his blood into the Raikage and others, and even Killer Bee, who appeared last, was stained with his blood.
This is not ordinary blood.
After Kaido awakened his Devil Fruit powers, he caused surrounding living beings and even inanimate objects to turn into dragons.
After returning to Wano Country, he worked with Queen and others to refine this ability, changing the area-of-effect dragon transformation field into a fixed-point casting area, which was named—
"Dragon Blood Stained"
He imbues his abilities into his own blood, and when that blood enters other organisms, it subtly alters the host's flesh and blood.
This process is very painful, but as long as you can endure it, you will eventually be transformed into a dragon-human form that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
However, this ability does not come with anything like a "mark of loyalty," so the transformed dragon-people will not directly pledge allegiance to Kaido, and Kaido cannot do anything to the transformed dragon-people.
Kaido's actions are somewhat like selfless dedication.
This is his magnanimity now.
He didn't care whether the Raikage and the others came looking for him later.
His goal is to transform more lives into dragons, so that they can join the final battle he anticipates with even greater strength!
"Hooray... I awakened because of your power, so I'll pass on that awakened power to you too!!"
Kaido let out a low laugh.
Of course, he didn't make this trip for selfless dedication. His awakening broadened his horizons, but it won't change his inherently self-serving nature.
He walked slowly over, lifted the collapsed Raikage Building, and found the scroll hidden in the ruins.
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode... Not a bad idea. I should also be able to learn Fire Release and Wind Release. Where should I look for them?"
"Speaking of Fire Release..."
Kaido grinned menacingly: "Damn you, Hunter, you're trying to fool me and King with a few common fire techniques as some kind of Lunaria clan secret."
"I'll settle this score with you!"
"Since it's Wind Release... let's go find the Kazekage."
Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and soared into the sky, flying towards the Land of Wind.
……
The most important resource in the world is knowledge, and any powerful being with a modicum of intelligence has realized this.
In particular, the existence of Uchiha Allen provided a perfect answer to the power called "chakra".
After the passage between the two realms stabilized, both sides began plundering.
After Kizaru relayed the general information, the Navy's internal analysis department immediately realized that the Bloodline Elimination, which surpasses Bloodline Limits, is an extremely important power!
What is a bloodline limit?
One is enough: the Sharingan.
So how powerful would Blood Escape Dust Release be if it combined the three chakra nature transformations?
……
Onoki felt powerless against Kizaru's strength, and Kizaru was actually wary of Onoki.
According to their investigation, this person was someone who had fought against Madara Uchiha, a powerful figure of the same level as Uchiha Aren, and survived!
Despite being physically weaker than a child from the sea world, Kizaru's Observation Haki detected that this old man possessed extremely destructive power!
The existence of Dust Release made the World Government's first choice to invite the Land of Earth to join them, offering a host of generous terms.
First, get the people here; there's always a way to get the Dust Escape technique.
……
While waiting for Onoki's reply, Kizaru didn't rest either, planning to head to other countries.
Apart from the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, all other countries are on the World Government's invitation list.
Because these two countries have ties with Allen, we cannot act rashly before obtaining sufficient intelligence.
It's not out of fear, it's a strategic adjustment.
-
The desert of the Land of Wind.
A flashing, leaping golden light suddenly stopped.
Kizaru stopped atop a sand dune, rubbed his nose, and shook the sand off his suit.
"Like Alabasta... I dislike this kind of climate the most."
Having grown accustomed to the humid air of his original world, Kizaru felt rather uncomfortable in this sandy environment.
Just then, he suddenly looked up into the distance, his pupils shrinking sharply.
A massive azure dragon roared in, bringing with it a rolling sandstorm.
Kaido!!
……
The azure dragon clearly saw this place as well, turned around and swooped down, reverting to its human form as it fell.
With a thunderous crash, Kaido slammed into the nearest sand dune, sending up a cloud of dust.
Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, inwardly alert but outwardly expressionless.
"Oh my... How strange to see you here. Are you lost, Kaido?"
……
Kaido scrutinized Kizaru and sneered, "The World Government's lackey, you're quite quick on your feet."
Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses: "The World Government is doing pretty well now, much better than when you joined, Mr. Kaido."
"Ah...sorry, you never joined, you were just dragged in~"
Kizaru joked.
To put it bluntly, he believed that even if it were Uchiha Allen, he could retreat safely as long as he avoided looking into those eyes.
There's no need to show weakness to Kaido, who's just a nobody.
……
"What an annoying mouth, just like your face!" Kaido exhaled through his nostrils, spitting out two puffs of white smoke.
Kizaru's face immediately darkened. Ever since Allen joined the Navy, he had been constantly attacked for his appearance, not only by the Navy, but sometimes by pirates as well.
The gossip section of the World Economic Herald even included stories about an old woman like Lieutenant General He, but surprisingly, there wasn't a single scandal about him!
Even the best-tempered person can't stand constant personal attacks.
Taking a deep breath, Kizaru calmly said, "I remember you're not far from Allen, right? How dare you go out such a long way?"
"Aren't you afraid that by the time you return, he will have already taken over Wano Country?"
……
Kaido sneered, "That guy wouldn't do something so pointless. Me and his... humph! ...No need to explain to you!"
Kizaru frowned slightly: "That sounds like... Allen's love life is really complicated."
"Enough with the nonsense, when pirates meet the Marines, of course it's..."
Heatwave!!
Before Kaido could finish speaking, he opened his mouth and exhaled a scorching dark red breath. Wherever the flames passed, the sand and gravel instantly vaporized, leaving behind a crystal-clear ravine!
……
"How impatient you are!"
Just before the torrent of flames approached, Kizaru suddenly vanished into countless points of light.
Kaido suddenly turned to his side, and the light had already coalesced into a human shape.
"Speed is weight..."
Lightning-fast kick!!
A bright yellow light, carrying the force torn through space, slammed into Kaido's neck!
