In the past, Kaido always felt some pressure when facing Orin, but now he only wanted to fight fiercely.
"Ororororo… Die, you monster, Orin!!!"
Kaido roared with his mouth wide open!
The features of the Azure Dragon gradually appeared. Kaido's expression was both crying and laughing as he continued to shout and roar, his teeth growing sharp and his eyes turning red.
The sky darkened, clouds thickening, seemingly influenced by the power of a Mythical Zoan.
Drunken Dragon Form·Kaido!!!
In this state, all of Kaido's teeth became extremely sharp. Though still in his dragon-human form, his body resembled a dragon more than a human, and his combat power far surpassed his normal dragon-human state.
"Take this one, Orin!!!"
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Crackling—
Purple lightning fell from the sky, guided by Kaido's wide, laughing mouth onto his spiked club.
Black-red Conqueror's lightning raged violently, merging with the charged purple electric club.
It swung directly toward Orin!!!
Bang—
Crack, crack, crack—
The move was tremendous. Orin's hands were immediately wrapped in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, his fingers forming a three-pronged dragon claw, still choosing to face the attack head-on.
Boom!!!!
The long-charged spiked club, wrapped in lightning and Conqueror's Haki, collided with the dark dragon claw.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
With this single strike as the center, hundreds of meters of buildings were instantly reduced to rubble, the ground splintering into pieces…
"You've improved quite a bit, Kaido~"
Orin raised an eyebrow, smiling at the frenziedly laughing Kaido.
Compared to many years ago, when Kaido often failed against him, now he truly seemed to have reached his peak. Haki mastery, proficiency with the Azure Dragon Fruit, and the boost from drunkenness…
Kaido's progress had been rapid.
At least this single strike reached the level of a Yonko.
In Orin's estimation, Drunken Dragon Form·Kaido could contend with middle-aged Whitebeard.
Even without using the Black Gun, defeating this now extremely durable Kaido would take effort; he could no longer crush him outright.
After all, he was still young, not at the age of Rocks to casually kill a Yonko. In raw strength, he was slightly lacking.
But Kaido shouldn't expect to dominate him either.
In the end, he could not lose.
"Ororororo… Over the years, it's not just you who's grown stronger. Let's have some fun, Orin!!!"
Baring his fangs, Kaido laughed maniacally. Lightning, one of the strongest natural elements, now empowered his club.
Coupled with Conqueror's Haki, it made Orin's hands tingle, at least causing some effect.
Kaido cried and swung his club, his movements seemingly casual but in fact far more dangerous.
...
"Kaido-sama… actually fighting the Black Gun?!!"
Upon hearing the report, Queen, who had already arrived, reached the outskirts of the Flower Capital battlefield.
Looking at the pulverized ground, he didn't intervene, only silently observing.
"I'm just making sure I don't hold back Kaido-sama, not because I fear that Black Gun bastard. That's right," the round, ball-like figure murmured, standing at the perimeter, too cautious to fire missiles, worried Orin might notice and shoot him with the Black Gun.
"What are you doing, Queen!!!"
A cold voice came from beside him.
A figure with black wings, flames burning on the back, clad in leather, appeared, glaring at him.
"Shut up, you perverted interrogator!!!"
"You want the Black Gun to notice us?!!! We're not that perverted opponent. Even Kaido-sama…"
He didn't finish, but the tone spoke volumes.
Unlike him, King was clearly tougher, raising his long sword, ready to rush in.
His confidence came from defense comparable to a Pirate King. As long as the flames on his back didn't extinguish, he wouldn't be instantly killed.
Over the years, as a Lunaria, King had raised his defense several levels.
Even against Orin, he was confident he wouldn't be one-shotted.
King fixed his gaze on Orin's calm expression, slightly crouching as if charging up.
Then—
"Ka—"
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!!!
A violent gust of wind struck, accompanied by sharp black-red lightning, interrupting King's movement.
"Who's there?!!"
"Ka—"
Both looked up. A massive bird, several meters in size, soared in the sky, wind swirling around it.
Its eyes locked on King.
Whitebeard had Marco, Kaido had King, and Orin had the Seagull King!!!
"Where did this bird come from!??"
"A Devil Fruit user? Conqueror's Haki?!!"
Queen shouted, but unlike facing Orin, he did not fear it.
King sensed the bird was no ordinary creature. Flames rose, slowly shifting his body into a beast form.
He could feel it—
This guy was formidable.
...
Boom—!!!
Bang, bang, bang, bang—!!!
Smashing building after building, Kaido and Orin tangled all the way to the outskirts of the Flower Capital, leaving the ground shattered.
"What a troublesome form."
After drinking, Kaido seemed completely unleashed, performing at 120% of his usual strength.
It was like a buff; even Haki and bodily potential were enhanced.
The next moment, Kaido's tail, without Orin noticing, wrapped around his body.
Orin didn't mind. He hadn't started taking things seriously—this was just passing through for fun.
Then—
Thud—
Kaido's head, armored with Haki, slammed toward Orin.
Even without using future sight, Orin felt disoriented. Not very painful, but his head spun.
"Does the booze really have such an effect?"
Kaido's combat awareness had become so strong that Orin grew slightly interested. He snapped his fingers.
Immediately, liquid from all over Flower Capital vanished and reappeared by Orin, entering his mouth.
"Let me try too."
Gulp, gulp…
With the massive amount of alcohol downed, Orin didn't resist its effect. His face flushed, and a warm, pleasant sensation spread through him.
"It really is invigorating… my whole body feels warm."
A terrifying Conqueror's Lightning Storm appeared around Orin, its sheer presence breaking the ground.
Excited, Orin's eyes glazed as he leaned on the Black Gun, unleashing his peak power.
"My head really hurts… quite capable, huh, hic—"
"Hehehehe—"
Orin's terrifying stance gradually sobered the ever-laughing Kaido.
As he regained some clarity, his laughter faded.
"Hehehehe… I'll definitely beat you half to death, Kaido."
