Chapter 197: Kaido, the Beast, Appears!
The great battle between Aramaki and Spartan lasted for more than 3 hours. Spartan became increasingly familiar with his new abilities.
"Ahaha, as expected of a Mythical Zoan ability, the recovery power is strong!" "But it still can't compare to my Forest-Forest Fruit ability!"
Aramaki's Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit ability is definitely the strongest in terms of recovery among all Logia abilities. It's completely unlike other Logia abilities that consume a lot of energy and require high physical endurance from the user. The reason the 3 Admirals are so strong is inseparable from their monstrous physiques.
Logia abilities like Caribou, Monet, and Caesar have relatively weak physiques. Aramaki, as a Forest-Forest Fruit user, might still be at full strength after a battle. In the original timeline, during the great battle where the Revolutionary Army invaded Mary Geoise, Fujitora Issho was bandaged, but Aramaki was completely unharmed. His recovery power is terrifyingly strong, perhaps even more formidable than a Mythical Zoan.
"It seems Duke Spartan is also about to become a true monster."
Seeing the 2 who were still full of energy after 3 hours of intense fighting, Bill and Bege looked at the rising Spartan with eyes like they were seeing a monster. Previously, everyone might have felt deep down that Spartan's Hereditary Title of Duke was a bit undeserved. But now, Spartan's strength fully justifies the title of Duke.
"Your Majesty, the weather seems to have changed. This moisture is a bit abnormal..."
At this moment, Nami raised her hand, feeling the unusual breeze and humidity. Her expression was a bit serious as she looked into the distance. She knew that the weather in the New World was extremely extreme and bizarre. However, this humidity made her feel a sense of 'unnaturalness'.
"Abnormal?"
Kael looked at Nami's small expression, the 'Child of the Weather', and his face became serious. Could it be some kind of super extreme weather? He looked up at the sky, unleashing a massive burst of Observation Haki, but found no abnormalities.
Feeling Kael's movement, Issho immediately unleashed his even more powerful Observation Haki, covering the entire sea area. He also didn't seem to find anything amiss. But in less than 2 minutes, the sky in the distance began to darken, and a black cloud entered their field of vision at an incredible speed.
"Your Majesty, a terrifying aura is approaching!"
Issho suddenly shouted loudly, and the battle between Spartan and Aramaki instantly stopped. The other Hereditary Titles also looked up at the black cloud in the sky. But their vision couldn't see that far, and their Observation Haki was a bit weak, some not even awakened, so they had no idea what was strange about this black cloud.
"Your Majesty, there's something unusual about this black cloud. It doesn't look like a natural storm cloud at all!"
Although Nami had not awakened Observation Haki, her instinctive talent for weather truly felt the strangeness of this black cloud.
"It seems a formidable monster has arrived! All hands, prepare for battle! It might be Kaido of the Beasts!"
Kael stared intently at the rapidly approaching black cloud. He remembered that in the original timeline, when Kaido of the Beasts first appeared in Wano Country in his Azure Dragon form within a dark cloud, Nami had also sensed the unusual and unnatural nature of the cloud.
"What!" "Four Emperors Kaido of the Beasts is here?" "What should we do! We really encountered Kaido of the Beasts?" "Are we going to war with the Beasts Pirates!" "Your Majesty, should we strategically retreat?" "Your Majesty, if we go to war with a Four Emperors, we might again be warned and held accountable by the World Government..."
Everyone immediately fell into chaos, their faces becoming incredibly tense. Even Issho and Spartan were the same. After all, the fearsome reputation of the Four Emperors was too overwhelming. Only Aramaki still had a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes, but deep down, he was still very wary. And Zoro stared intently at the black cloud, looking either ignorant or fearless.
"What are you afraid of! It's just Kaido of the Beasts right now!" "Today, I'm going to let you witness the strength of a Four Emperors!"
Kael saw everyone's reaction. He knew that they had to fight Kaido of the Beasts to break everyone's nightmare. Otherwise, these guys would be trapped under the shadow of the Four Emperors for their entire lives. Moreover, with only Kaido of the Beasts appearing alone, now was the perfect time to gang up on him, break everyone's fear, and gain experience fighting a Four Emperors.
"Your Majesty!"
Bill, Eric, and the other Hereditary Titles looked nervously at Kael, shouting with trembling hearts.
"Gentlemen, Kaido of the Beasts is strong, but you must believe that we are not weak either!" "Now, follow your Emperor, and let your blood boil!" "After today, you will know that the glory of the Goa Empire, like the fearsome reputation of the Four Emperors, will shock the world!"
Kael held the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword, clad in vampire armor, and flew into the air, wildly unleashing his Conqueror's Haki and laughing unrestrainedly. With Kael's Conqueror's Haki, his loud laughter, and the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword raised high, the terrified Hereditary Titles felt as if they had been given a berserk buff, and their fear instantly dissipated. Red light flashed in their eyes, and their blood began to boil.
"Take down Kaido of the Beasts!" "A mere Four Emperors, we are the strongest empire in the world!" "Ahaha, let me see how strong a Four Emperors is!"
The blood of each Hereditary Title was ignited by Kael, and they began to shout and cheer.
"How reckless, Your Majesty!"
Issho smiled slightly, drew his sword, and his expression became extremely serious. Since Kael said that everyone was not weak, then let's fight a Four Emperors!
"I will never let Your Majesty suffer even a scratch!"
Spartan's gaze was incredibly firm. He instantly entered his full beast form, stepped on auspicious clouds, and flew to Kael's side, looking like a loyal guard.
Kaido of the Beasts, who was flying through the dark clouds, soon sensed the battle that had stopped over there, and several powerful auras.
"The range of their Observation Haki is actually greater than mine?"
Kaido of the Beasts didn't expect the other party to discover him from so far away. His Observation Haki had already been cultivated to the realm of foreseeing the future, but its range was actually inferior to this unfamiliar strong person. He was very familiar with the Conqueror's Haki of Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Red-Haired Shanks. But this arrogant Conqueror's Haki was clearly not from those old rivals.
Who could this be? However, this sea doesn't need so many 'Kings'. He hoped this arrogant fellow could entertain him a bit. If he couldn't withstand 1 of his strikes, then he should sink into the sea and settle down. But suddenly, a massive sword qi, sparking and flashing with lightning, tore through space and was the first to cleave towards the black cloud.
"Worororo! You dare to attack first! Not a bad kid!"
Kaido of the Beasts laughed loudly, and a fiery dragon's breath instantly spewed out from the giant dragon's mouth.
"Boom!!"
The Heaven-Slicing Sword Qi and the fiery dragon's breath collided fiercely. The terrifying shockwave dispersed the thick, dark clouds. Under the impact, the sea churned, raising circles of towering giant waves. A fierce wind swept across Namakura Island. The Goa Viscounts struggled to stand in the gale, some even collapsing to the ground.
In their horrified gaze, a gigantic azure dragon, hundreds of meters long, coiled in the high sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning, overlooking everyone with an oppressive aura. Its gaze and aura made people break out in cold sweat. This was the legendary strongest creature on land, sea, and air! Four Emperors Kaido of the Beasts!
