"GET OUT HERE!! ALUCARD!!"
On the southwest coast of Dressrosa, Kaido roared with his arms raised high. The fierce shockwave shattered nearby rocks, showing just how exaggerated his yell was and proving the extent of his power.
Dressrosa, Flower Field.
Under the shade of a large tree, Alucard, sitting on a huge throne-like chair, opened one eye slightly. The three Boa sisters, as well as Scarlett and her younger sister, the ten-year-old Viola, who were still here to watch the show, all looked in the direction of the town upon hearing the roar.
Alucard immediately rose from his seat and started walking toward the town, a sinister smile on his face. "So he's here?"
"Master, who is that? The sound is so loud," Hancock said, walking beside Alucard. Her eardrums still hurt.
"Just call him a mad dog," Alucard said with a sneer, suddenly transforming into a flock of bats and flying away. Hancock shrieked and, along with her two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, quickly chased after him.
"Hey! Are you… making fun of me for being slow?" Scarlett fumed.
For over a month, she had been coming here to watch the spectacle. Neither the Boa sisters nor Alucard had done anything to her. As time went on, Scarlett became more familiar with them, going from only daring to visit every three or four days to coming almost every day for the past two weeks.
Sometimes she would act like a spoiled princess, but it was harmless, and no one paid it any mind.
"Onee-chan, your heart is beating so fast. It was like this before when you saw that A..."
BONK!
Viola, who was making an "OK" sign with her hands over her eyes, didn't get to finish her sentence before Scarlett gave her a painful smack on the head.
"Oww! I wasn't lying!" Viola cried out.
"You can't say things like that anymore!"
Scarlett's face was red as she yelled back like an angry tigress. She picked up her princess dress and quickly chased after them, but unfortunately, her speed and stamina were just too poor.
"Alucard! Get out here!"
Kaido cursed as he swung his fists, hitting the stone walls on both sides of the path leading from the coast to the town. He shattered rocks nearly the size of giants, leaving the walls on the verge of collapse.
As Kaido stepped out of the town gate, the people inside, along with King Riku and the royal army, had already arrived. The Marines, disguised as Dressrosa civilians and mixed in with the crowd, also saw this demon, Kaido of the Beasts, one of the three monsters, and their target.
WHOOSH!
Just as Kaido was about to threaten the people for information, countless bats suddenly flew down from the sky, landing a few hundred meters between King Riku and Kaido. The bats gradually formed into human feet, legs, body, and head.
"Alucard!"
Kaido stared at the gleaming red eyes underneath Alucard's long hat. His pace quickened, each step causing a significant tremor in the ground.
"I'm here to get my revenge for what you did six months ago!" Kaido said as he walked.
"Oh… I've done a lot of things. Which one are you talking about?" Alucard didn't take out his guns, walking toward Kaido with empty hands.
Soon, the two were standing face to face, less than a thousand meters apart.
A gust of wind blew between them, making their large coats flap loudly. Although they hadn't done anything yet and weren't even using Conqueror's Haki, the pressure they were generating was enough to make everyone's legs tremble and unable to move.
"Hurry!"
"Get out!"
Here, the Marines disguised as civilians couldn't stay calm any longer. They immediately began rescue efforts, leading the civilians gathered at the town gate, as well as King Riku and the others, away.
Of course, the Marines had been monitoring Kaido ever since he started swimming over. The current situation was relatively within their expectations.
For example, Garp, who was hiding about two miles away, dressed as a civilian in a floral shirt and shorts. This was his vacation outfit, only now he added a pair of old-fashioned sunglasses.
"Vice Admiral Garp! Should we intervene?" a Marine, also disguised as a Dressrosa civilian, stood beside Garp, looking at the two monsters facing each other in the distance. He asked anxiously.
"Nah, don't be in a hurry," Garp said, popping a senbei into his mouth as he approached Alucard and Kaido. "Focus on evacuating the civilians. If they don't cause any trouble, we won't act. This old man is just here to make sure they don't go berserk…"
"ALUCARD!!!"
"AHAHAHA, KAIDO!!!"
Before Garp could finish, the two men across from each other roared the other's name at the same time.
In the next instant, Kaido swung a punch downward, and Alucard responded with a right punch of his own.
The massive difference in their heights was like that between an adult and a newborn baby. Because of this, the scene was incredibly shocking.
CRUNCH!
Their fists collided, creating a dull sound like thunder.
The impact and rebound force separated their fists. They retracted their right hands and brought up their left!
THUD!
Due to the huge difference in height and build, Alucard was always punching upward while Kaido was punching downward.
Upward punch against downward punch. Small fist against a large one!
There were no fancy Devil Fruit abilities or Rokushiki techniques. It was like a street brawl between two thugs.
"GRAAAAHH!!!"
Kaido roared, landing a punch on Alucard's shoulder and shattering it.
"HAAAHHH!!!"
Alucard roared back, leaping high into the air and landing a punch on Kaido's nose with a fist not much bigger than his nostril.
CRACK!
With a crisp sound, Kaido's nose began to bleed from Alucard's punch.
"HAAHH!!!"
"ALUCARD!!"
The two roared simultaneously. Kaido's strength intensified, and so did Alucard's. Both of them started bleeding.
"I'm gonna kill you today!!"
"Can't hold back anymore, Kaido?!"
The Marine standing behind Garp blinked and said to him, "Garp-san, they… they seem to have gone crazy."
