"This kind of aura, who is he?"
Looking at Hashirama Senju, who was shorter than the Third Raikage but exuded an intimidating force that not even ten Third Raikages could match, Kaido asked in a deep voice.
"Me? My name is Hashirama Senju."
Facing Kaido's question, Hashirama Senju was not as arrogant as Madara Uchiha and answered with a smile, "I am just a dead man from the Pure Land, here only to stop the invasion of these otherworldly people."
"A dead man?"
Looking at Hashirama Senju, whose body was covered in cracks, Kaido recalled the intelligence Doflamingo had given him, and a look of realization appeared on his face, "So that's it, the 'God of Shinobi' of this world!"
"A powerhouse from another world, although I already know your answer, I still have to ask..."
Staring at Kaido in his dragon-human form, Hashirama Senju said with a serious expression, "Are you willing to give up on conquering my world and shake hands with me in peace?"
"A foolish statement! You remind me of a guy I hate!"
Looking at Hashirama Senju, who was incredibly similar to Shanks, Kaido responded with his actions.
He held his Hassaikai, wreathed in red lightning, and swung it at Hashirama Senju, "Thunder Bagua!"
In response, Hashirama Senju clenched his fist and met the attack.
Boom—!
When the large and small spiked club and fist collided.
An energy storm similar to the collision of the Third Raikage's Hell Stab and Thunder Bagua immediately spread out from Hashirama Senju and Kaido.
But unlike his appreciation for the Third Raikage, Kaido looked at Hashirama Senju with a look of horror.
This world also has such a monster?!
That's right, a monster...
Only the word "monster" could describe the current Hashirama Senju.
In the eyes of others, Hashirama Senju was no different from the Third Raikage, and his aura was not even as domineering as the Third Raikage's, who was covered in a dark blue electric current.
However...
Only Kaido and cadres like King the Conflagration could understand what kind of humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex was hidden under Hashirama Senju's ordinary appearance.
Because...
Even the Third Raikage needed to use the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Hell Stab to be able to withstand Kaido's Thunder Bagua.
On the other hand, Hashirama Senju had only thrown an ordinary punch and had blocked Kaido's Thunder Bagua.
For the Naruto world, where most were squishy, this was simply an incredible thing.
Not just in the Naruto world, but also in the pirate world, it was an incredible thing.
Because even in the New World, many could not withstand Kaido's Thunder Bagua even with all their strength.
Let alone blocking Kaido's Thunder Bagua with an ordinary punch.
In fact, Hashirama Senju's seemingly ordinary punch was not ordinary at all.
If the Uchiha clan was famous in the ninja world for its Sharingan and Fire Release ninjutsu, with dōjutsu and Fire Release as their trademarks.
Then the trademark of the Senju clan was the Sage Body with its incomparably vast chakra and life force, and the Monstrous Strength that could seriously injure or even kill others with a single punch or kick.
Among the Senju clan, most of its members only used Monstrous Strength on their fists and feet.
For example, Tsunade and her disciple, Sakura Haruno, their attack methods were the Monstrous Strength Fist and the Heavenly Foot of Pain.
However...
The Monstrous Strength Fist and the Heavenly Foot of Pain, for Hashirama Senju, were just normal attacks.
Because Hashirama Senju not only applied Monstrous Strength to his entire body, but had also cultivated it to the realm of returning to simplicity, or rather, becoming a part of his body.
His body was in a state of Monstrous Strength at all times.
He could release Monstrous Strength as an aura, and in an instant, he could crack the surrounding ground and walls, just like the physical destructive pressure of Conqueror's Haki.
He could also release Monstrous Strength and burst out a powerful airflow from a distance, the so-called shockwave, just like the external release of Armament Haki.
In other words, Hashirama Senju's realm of Monstrous Strength was equivalent to the Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki of the pirate world.
Although it couldn't compare to the highest level of application of Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, it was enough to prove Hashirama Senju's strength.
Blocking Kaido's Thunder Bagua head-on was done with his pinnacle-level Monstrous Strength.
"What a terrifying power. Are the people of that world all such taijutsu masters?"
After the energy storm created by their normal attacks dissipated, Hashirama Senju took the initiative to leap back and put some distance between himself and Kaido, asking with a smile.
"...I really hate this kind of hippie-smiling guy."
In response, Kaido frowned and took the initiative to attack.
"In my normal state, I'm no match for you in taijutsu."
"So, I have to get serious too..."
Hashirama Senju readily admitted the gap between himself and Kaido, then slapped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "Sage Mode!"
Almost on Kaido's second step, the natural energy of the heavens and earth crazily surged into Hashirama Senju's body.
In just an instant, black stripes appeared around Hashirama Senju's eyes, a black target-like pattern appeared on his forehead, and his pupils were yellow on the outside and black on the inside.
The sage jutsu chakra, which had been sublimated by the integration of natural energy, caused Hashirama Senju's aura to become even more terrifying.
If before, he was just an ordinary God of Shinobi, then Hashirama Senju, who had entered Sage Mode, had the majesty of a God of Shinobi who had suppressed an era.
"Thunder Bagua—!"
Sensing the change in Hashirama Senju with his Observation Haki, Kaido did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly wrapped his Hassaikai in Conqueror's Haki and swung an otherworldly blow at Hashirama Senju, which even the Third Raikage had to dodge.
In response, Hashirama Senju, just like before, simply clenched his fist and met the attack.
But unlike the normal attack before, this punch, Hashirama Senju had wrapped in an astonishing amount of sage jutsu chakra.
Boom—!!
Condensing a sage jutsu chakra that would make even Naruto Uzumaki cry if he saw it, Hashirama Senju's fist once again collided with Kaido's Hassaikai.
A deafening loud bang immediately made the ears of the pirates and ninjas on the battlefield ache slightly.
Then, an unparalleled energy storm swept across the entire battlefield like a hurricane.
The pirates and ninjas in a radius of a thousand meters, some of the weaker ones, were directly sent flying by this hurricane.
Even powerful pirate captains, such as Eustass Kid and the Flying Six, couldn't help but block their eyes with their hands, barely opening them to look at the two protagonists whose attack aftershocks alone had forced the low-end combat power on both sides to a ceasefire.
