Night, like a boundless net, enveloped the land and the sea.
A colossal thunderstorm that blotted out the sky rapidly approached, carrying immense power, with black clouds rolling and constantly spewing terrifying electric snakes.
Looking into the distance, the vast, dark sky seemed to crack open, and vaguely, a gigantic creature could be seen moving within the thunderstorm .
The thunderstorm swiftly swept across the sea, like a pitch-black rainbow, and it wasn't until it had vanished far into the distance that the displaced air reacted, creating waves several meters high!
Whoosh—
The biting sea wind blew, carrying a hint of mist, dampening Bolonga's face, and goosebumps appeared all over the back of his hands.
Bolonga's expression turned serious as he vigilantly stared at the thunderstorm directly sweeping towards him.
In an instant, the thunderstorm arrived directly above Bolonga's head.
Thick, heavy dark clouds twisted into a black vortex in the sky, covering half the island, with eerie electrical currents swirling at its center.
The localized low pressure brought by the thunderclouds caused a sudden change in air pressure, unleashing gusts of strong wind that bent a row of oak trees on the coast, and trash and debris flew wildly across the desolate island!
First, two gigantic claws extended from the dark clouds, and then, a massive dragon's head emerged from the black clouds, its stern eyes looking down at Bolonga.
"Tell me, where is Wald?!"
His voice was like thunder, and the black clouds in the sky rumbled loudly, the sound echoing through every corner of the island.
Faka Island was not large, with an area of only about ten square kilometers.
Bolonga's heart was shaken, his mouth agape, his face changing between light and dark, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Kaido looked impatient: "Do you think I won't find him if you don't answer?"
The moment his voice fell, Kaido's terrifying Observation Haki had already spread out, enveloping the entire island.
The aura of every living creature was transmitted to Kaido's brain center like a signal source.
Soon, Kaido discovered Wald's location.
Feeling Wald's faint aura, Kaido glared at Bolonga, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Bastard, what did you do to my beloved subordinate?!"
Flame clouds rotated and entanglement around Kaido, engulfing him in the blink of an eye.
The twisted vortex in the sky seemed like flames dropped into a gas tank, instantly surging and boiling, with air currents moving at high speed!
A pitch-black cloud pillar shot down from the center of the vortex, shaking the ground with a loud roar.
The ground shook violently.
The black clouds poured into the dense forest and dissipated, and Kaido stood up from the deep pit, slowly raising his head.
His forehead was covered with black vertical lines, his face terrifyingly grim, and a cold glint trailed from the corner of his eye, swaying up and down as he moved.
Red lightning sparked and crackled all over his body.
Bolonga, who had always regarded humans as blood-food and playthings, couldn't help but take two steps back in fear the moment he saw Kaido.
His face turned pale, looking very ugly, his heart pounding, and his breathing rapid.
He actually saw the figure that he had once feared so much in Kaido!
Rocks... Rocks!
"Ho... how could this be?!"
Bolonga gasped for air, as if his neck had been choked, fine sweat beaded on his forehead, and his whole body trembled.
He recalled how he had once roamed the seas, plundering humans everywhere and destroying human towns.
Later, he encountered Rocks at sea and fought with him.
To call it a battle was merely him trying to glorify himself.
It was an overwhelming and tragic battle; his tough skin was no match for Rocks's Impact sword energy.
The Conqueror's Haki released by Rocks made him feel as if he were in an abyss; heaven and earth paled in comparison to the dark and violent Conqueror's Haki!
Bolonga was filled with immense fear, unable to even contemplate resistance.
The defeated Bolonga wanted to join the Rocks Pirates, but Rocks refused him, saying he was "too weak."
Embarrassed and enraged, Bolonga retreated from the world, and when he reappeared later, he was active in the Underworld's assassin group.
However, today... he once again felt that terrifying aura from another person!
How could this not make him feel fear!
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Bolonga muttered to himself, his eyes filled with unease and panic, then let out a hysterical roar:
"Impossible! I don't believe it, how could a brat like you possibly have such a terrifying aura like Rocks!"
After his angry roar, Bolonga began to laugh maniacally, his triangular eyes coldly staring at Kaido, his fin-blade suddenly extended, his dark skin like hard armor.
He violently swung his wrist chain, creating a piercing whoosh as it coiled towards Kaido.
Kaido stood unmoving, allowing the chain to wrap around his left hand and neck.
Bolonga let out a triumphant laugh, then turned his back to Kaido, pulling the chain with all his might, intending to swing Kaido and smash him to the ground.
But he suddenly found his feet crushing the flagstones and sinking deep into the earth, the chain taut, veins bulging all over his body, and the anticipated scene of him flinging Kaido did not occur.
A shadow engulfed Bolonga, who was startled and rigidly turned his neck.
He saw Kaido suddenly unleash his Conqueror's Haki, crimson lightning wildly lashing the ground, tearing dozens of scorched marks into it!
Among the dozens of crimson lightning bolts, three suddenly locked onto Bolonga.
The moment he was locked on, Bolonga's body trembled and went numb, unable to move an inch!
Indeed!
A look of understanding flashed in Kaido's eyes; Red Hair had disrupted his plans many times in his previous life, so Kaido had naturally fought Red Hair often.
It had to be admitted that Red Hair Shanks's mastery of Conqueror's Haki was so profound that even Kaido himself felt inferior.
Red Hair Shanks could release Conqueror's Haki from tens of kilometers away to lock onto anyone he wanted, and could even intimidate ability users into forcibly exiting their transformed state!
Kaido admitted he couldn't reach that level yet.
But for a combat genius like him, having seen that move several times, it wouldn't be difficult to lock onto an opponent within a hundred-meter radius after a few more attempts.
Moreover, he still had plenty of time; Kaido's current strength far surpassed his peers, enough for him to discover a power that was second to none!
Even against Roger or Whitebeard, he would have the power to fight!
Kaido's thoughts raced, his eyes coldly fixed on Bolonga, then he drew his spiked club and began to step forward.
Bolonga, paralyzed and locked by the Conqueror's Haki, wore a horrified expression, watching Kaido approach step by step, his heart feeling as if it were being clutched by an invisible hand.
He gasped heavily, his pupils dilating in shock.
Kaido walked up to Bolonga, expressionless, looking down at him.
He slowly raised his spiked club, which was wrapped in explosive, wild Conqueror's Haki!
Under Bolonga's terrified expression, the spiked club smashed down furiously!
Boom!
The spiked club crushed Bolonga's face, and the sound of a skull shattering echoed.
Bolonga's hard head seemed incredibly fragile at this moment, his eyes bloodshot, brutally smashed into his chest by Kaido, his entire body flattened, bloated, and burst open.
Turning into a mist of blood.
