CHAPTER 285 THE ORIGINAL CAN'T BEAT THE BOOTLEG
"What is that?! Two dragons!" A ship departed from Onigashima's harbor. Aboard, Hyogoro looked up to see two divine dragons confronting each other in the sky.
"Could that crimson dragon be Brett?!" Kawamatsu's jaw nearly dropped in shock. "He possesses the same ability as Kaido!"
Even isolated in Wano, they knew—the world had no duplicate Devil Fruits! So what was happening?!
"Amazing!" Atop Onigashima, Yamato also shouted in astonishment.
The sky had been completely covered by storm clouds, lightning dancing between cloud layers.
"This is—" Kaido froze completely.
As the genuine Fish-Fish Fruit Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon form user, he understood his abilities best—there absolutely was no power to create storm clouds and alter weather phenomena like this! How did this bastard bootleg possess abilities the original didn't have?!
Vegapunk—that bastard must be responsible! Kaido ground his teeth viciously.
"Yamato, retreat as you wish. As you can see, leave this to me," Brett chuckled lightly.
"Yamato!" Only now did Kaido finally notice his precious daughter standing atop Onigashima, staring dumbly at the sky. "You idiot, get over here now!"
"I refuse!" Yamato planted her hands on her hips, snorting. She shouted loudly at her father, "I inherited Kozuki Oden's will! I'll become this nation's shogun and open its borders—I'm a man!"
"You think you can defy me?!" Kaido roared, lightning erupting from his body.
"TEN THOUSAND THUNDER!"
Brett hummed lightly. Rain fell—rain transformed from lightning. Countless lightning bolts descended, giving neither Kaido nor King any evasion space, completely engulfing them both.
"Ngh!!" Even with Kaido and King's defensive capabilities, being suddenly struck by this scale of lightning storm forced pained grunts.
"That's incredible, Brett! Then I'll leave this to you!" Yamato leaped, jumping directly from Onigashima.
She'd completely witnessed Brett's power. If it was this man, there truly was no need for worry—even if the opponent was her father.
Yamato landed on the sea surface outside Onigashima. As she descended, she transformed into a white wolf, directly freezing the sea surface. She ran forward vigorously toward the distant large ship.
"Ships are too slow—let's run back!" she shouted.
"Damn you, where do you think you're escaping?!"
The falling lightning seemed dispersed by the monster's furious roar. Amid overwhelming lightning, Kaido transformed into dragon-man form. Black lightning coiled around his kanabo club. He swung his iron club forcefully, blasting a massive hole directly through the sky's storm clouds.
"King! Chase them!" Kaido roared.
"Yes!"
As the thunder subsided, King spread his wings to soar. The flames previously blazing behind his head had extinguished. He'd sacrificed defense, pushing speed to maximum, pursuing Yamato and the others on the sea surface with determination.
But—
"Where do you think you're going?" Brett likewise transformed into a crimson dragon-man, brilliant electric light cascading across his entire body. Treading flame clouds, his body shot forward like light itself.
After sacrificing defense, Lunarian speed was astonishingly fast. However, Brett was equally fast—even faster! In mere moments, Brett had already blocked King's path, raising his fist.
"This guy!!"
Previously, when Brett and Charlotte Linlin came to Wano to seize Doflamingo, King had already witnessed Brett's extreme speed. But now Brett was even faster than then!
Can't dodge! Flames reignited behind King's head. He crossed both arms defensively before himself, maximizing defensive power!
Azure electric light and black lightning coiled simultaneously around Brett's arm, invisible waves distorting even the air. Then he punched.
BOOM!!
Thunder roared across the sky. The next instant, King plummeted like a cannonball, obliquely crashing into Onigashima. The solid skull structure was directly punctured with a massive hole, then King crashed into Onigashima's underground.
The entire island trembled. The massive skull began fracturing.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Kaido raged, swinging his kanabo club horizontally through the air.
"RAIMEI HAKKE!!"
Brett fearlessly closed in. "Electric Propulsion - Oni Gawara Seiken!!"
BOOM!
Brett's fist and Kaido's kanabo collided through empty air. The air itself compressed, twisted, shattered—seeming ready to explode entirely, continuously transforming into gales spreading in all directions. The sea surface surged with massive waves.
More astonishing was the sky—the storm clouds Brett had previously created were completely swept clean, as though the entire sky itself had split open.
"Too exaggerated—is this bastard old man's and Brett's power?!" Yamato, running across the sea, glanced back at the sky. That astounding sight left her marveling.
"This is—!" Kaido retreated backward, shock filling his face.
Conqueror's infusion—this brat had already mastered this technique proficiently! And what was that strength?!
Physical power even exceeded his own! This brat was absurdly strong!
"Still have time to be shocked?"
Brett shot forward like lightning.
"Don't joke around—don't get cocky, brat!" Kaido roared, gripping his iron club with both hands. "Hourai Hakke!!"
Though the technique name changed, it was ultimately just swinging harder. Though Brett's approach was identical.
Even more brilliant electric light danced across his arm. Two-colored Haki fused together, finally wrapping around his arm. Brett threw his punch.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Two monsters engaged in round after round of fierce collision across the sky. Fist and kanabo constantly clashed, thunder explosions far more exaggerated than before continuously echoing across the heavens.
"Hah—hah—"
After another intense exchange, Kaido panted slightly. His gaze toward the distant Brett had grown quite grave.
This brat's strength exceeded his imagination. Strength, speed, agility—aside from Haki, nearly every attribute surpassed his own! Even as he began panting, that guy remained unflushed, unruffled, perfectly calm.
Even stamina exceeded his?!
Kaido ground his teeth. What the hell was this bastard?!
Brett extended his observation Haki. Yamato and the others had escaped quite far. Then no need to continue delaying.
Time to conclude this sudden battle.
Brett launched forward. Power stored within his body began transforming at this moment!
"YOU DAMN BRAT!!" Kaido roared, charging forward. "DAIITOKU - RAIMEI HAKKE!!"
Brett, trailing long electric light, had readied his fist.
Electric Propulsion - King's Fist!!
Kaido's eyes widened.
