I have to say, Kaido-sensei's teaching was very good. After a few minutes of fierce confrontation, the essence of Conqueror's Haki infusion was fully displayed before him.
In addition, he had already reached the final step, so fully grasping the infusion was not surprising.
Kaido was very dissatisfied with Caelan's attitude. "If you think you can beat me like this, you're happy too early."
As he spoke, his originally seven-meter-tall body grew a few inches taller.
Blue-green dragon scales appeared on his skin, and his eyebrows turned into flaming cloud shapes.
A thick tail swayed behind him, and his body took on many draconic traits.
At the same time, the wound Caelan left on his chest was forced closed by sheer muscle pressure, with only the bloodstains around it proving it existed.
"I originally thought that since you didn't eat a Devil Fruit, I could deal with you in human form." Kaido's voice rumbled, as if thunder was stuck in his throat. "I admit I underestimated you."
In his hybrid form, his strength was greatly enhanced.
He could also better mobilize and utilize the power of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, making some techniques even stronger.
"This is pretty interesting. I was just feeling unsatisfied."
Caelan became even more excited.
Kaido in this state was greatly strengthened. What could he do now?
Could he break through Kavacha and Kundala and his physical defenses?
"Mighty Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido roared at Caelan and vanished like lightning.
Compared to Thunder Bagua, the kanabo at this moment was wrapped in denser, stronger lightning, and both speed and power were greatly enhanced.
Just invoking it filled the air with tiny crackling arcs.
In a flash, Kaido in his hybrid form appeared above Caelan's head.
The kanabo smashed down with tremendous force.
"Divine Sword Slash!"
Caelan shouted.
Gripping the blade with both hands, he chopped down with all his might.
It was called Divine Sword Slash for a reason. It gathered all strength and spirit into one strike.
The speed was so great that even sound could not keep up. Only after the arc of the blade was complete did the boom of the sword tearing through the air catch up.
It was extremely powerful, because speed is power.
Combined with Mana Burst, Flame, at rank A, the sword took on an ultimate fire attribute.
With one strike, it was as if a huge sun appeared.
"Is that the sun?"
Kaido thought he was seeing things.
He clearly saw a sun appear before his eyes. Scorching heat and blinding light filled his vision.
Mighty Thunder Bagua collided with the Divine Sword.
The clash of thunder and fire produced the most violent explosion.
"Boom!"
A huge mushroom cloud took shape in an instant.
Heat waves spread again and again, and the temperature of the entire Reality Marble rose by several degrees out of thin air.
A kanabo fell from the sky and stuck into the ground at an angle.
Then Kaido's figure crashed down like a kite with a broken string, struggling to get up in a panic.
His chest was charred black. The blue-green scales had turned to ash, with only traces of keratin proving they had been there.
Beneath the charred skin was a massive wound.
The wound was more than two inches deep, running from the right shoulder to the left waist, almost covering the entire upper body.
The wound on his abdomen left by Kozuki Oden eighteen years ago was completely covered by this new wound.
Compared to Caelan's sword, Kozuki Oden's cut was simply not worth mentioning.
The protection of dragon scales, full-body Armament Haki, and the powerful physique Kaido was proud of.
With one blow from Caelan, the triple defense was completely broken.
"You just now, that wasn't the same."
Kaido coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at Caelan in frustration.
Before he transformed, although he was no match for Caelan, he could still fight back.
How was it that after transforming and becoming stronger, he was no longer an opponent?
"Just now, I was learning Conqueror's Haki infusion."
Caelan smiled.
To better comprehend the power of the infusion, he had previously relied only on strength and swordsmanship.
Now that he had fully grasped it, he no longer needed to hold back.
"Then why aren't you hurt?"
Kaido looked at Caelan.
The dark martial uniform on Caelan's upper body was completely torn, revealing streamlined muscles.
There were no wounds on his body.
When they clashed just now, Caelan's Divine Sword hit him.
Judging by the feel of it, Mighty Thunder Bagua should have struck Caelan as well.
"Well, maybe because I'm in good health."
Caelan touched his chest, feeling a slight ache there.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Kaido felt that Caelan was not treating him like a person.
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
Caelan shrugged indifferently.
Kavacha and Kundala could offset all attacks below rank A.
He had not intended to wear the armor while sparring with Kaido, but he had been wearing the Sun Armor and forgot to take it off.
Kaido's kanabo had indeed broken through Kavacha and Kundala's defense.
And just as Caelan said, his body was in good condition, and the remaining force caused him no harm.
