Kaido's pupils suddenly constricted, staring at Chu Yang in disbelief, momentarily lost in thought.
However, that brief moment of distraction allowed Chu Yang to seize the opportunity, raising his right hand and slamming a punch into Kaido's abdomen.
A full-power blow, wrapped in Haoshoku and Lightning Release Armor, directly sent Kaido flying, smashing a large hole in the banquet hall wall.
The banquet hall immediately fell into absolute silence.
The moment Kaido was sent flying, Queen immediately rushed over, but was blocked by Dragon, and the banquet hall instantly devolved into chaos.
The Revolutionary Army and the Sun Pirates teamed up against the Beasts Pirates; even so, there was still a disparity in their forces, with the Beasts Pirates having almost twice their numbers.
Orochi fled the moment the battle began, not even taking his loyal retainers with him.
Shouts of battle echoed through Serpent's Den Castle, and many residents of Flower Capital noticed the abnormality there.
Until they saw a giant dragon circling above Serpent's Den Castle.
"It's Kaido!"
"He's fighting someone!"
"Is it a samurai?"
Everyone discussed excitedly.
Experienced elders had already quickly fled with their families; they had all witnessed Kaido destroying towns with his Dragon Breath, and that terrifying destructive power was a shadow that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Just as the people of Flower Capital were in self-preservation mode and residents scattered, Kaido, in his dragon form, stepped on the flame clouds beneath his feet, continuously ascending, looking down at Chu Yang from above.
"This level of Haki shouldn't belong to an unknown person. Who exactly are you?"
Facing Kaido's question, Chu Yang did not answer. Two wooden swords appeared in his hands. He stood at the pinnacle of the tall building, emanating a murderous aura.
Seeing the other party ignore him and pull out wooden swords as weapons, Kaido laughed in extreme anger, roaring, "You think you can hurt me with those toys?!"
Chu Yang pointed the wooden swords at Kaido, "That's right."
Kaido stared intently at Chu Yang with murderous eyes, a blazing light gradually gathering in his mouth. He intended to burn this arrogant fellow to death with his Dragon Breath.
Turn the toys in his hands into charcoal!
While Kaido gathered his Dragon Breath, Chu Yang was also using his Rinnegan to analyze Kaido's weaknesses. His Rinnegan possessed all the abilities of the Sharingan and Byakugan, and was even stronger.
Perhaps it was fate, but the weak point Kaido exposed in the Rinnegan was precisely on the opposite side of the scar left by "Peach Origin Ten Fists."
After locking onto the target, Chu Yang slightly bent his body. The two wooden swords emitted completely different auras, with sunlight and moonlight complementing each other.
Source Breathing · First Form · Sun and Moon Rotation.
Kaido, who was about to unleash his Dragon Breath, noticed Chu Yang's change. His stance, holding dual swords, suddenly made Kaido feel a little dazed, instinctively recalling someone, and the crisscrossing sword mark on his body also faintly began to ache at that moment.
The anger hidden deep in his heart for many years suddenly erupted!
Kaido opened his dragon mouth, and Dragon Breath, accompanied by his fury, spewed forth!
A blood-red light streaked across the sky above Flower Capital, shooting towards Chu Yang amidst the terrified gazes of the common people.
Chu Yang's body glowed with intense lightning, and under the cover of the Lightning Release Armor, he transformed into a silver light, meeting the Dragon Breath.
When the two met, it was like a torrent crashing into a reef; the Dragon Breath exploded with a roar!
And Chu Yang, this "reef," went against the current, enduring the scorching Dragon Breath, rapidly rushing to Kaido's front.
Seeing Chu Yang already upon him, Kaido was both shocked and enraged, unleashing his Dragon Breath with all his might. In an instant, the red light pillar expanded tenfold.
The fierce battle in the banquet hall temporarily ceased. Dragon and Queen looked up at the sky.
The fleeing commoners also couldn't help but stop and look back.
The collision of silver light and red light captivated everyone's gaze.
The grain-sized silver light gradually disappeared into the red light pillar.
Queen was stunned for a moment, then burst into roaring laughter, "This is what happens when you provoke Boss Kaido, you damned bastards!"
The crew members of the Beasts Pirates all laughed wildly in unison.
Dragon sighed. He hadn't expected Chu Yang to lose so decisively. He shouldn't have been so concerned with the other party's face; he should have ganged up on Kaido from the start.
The current situation couldn't be worse.
"Brother Tiger, what should we do? Yang seems to have failed…"
Jinbe and many crew members looked anxiously at Tiger.
Tiger paid no attention, staring at the light pillar above his head. The scene of him first meeting Chu Yang suddenly flashed through his mind, as if it were just yesterday.
"Hahaha."
Tiger burst into loud laughter. His bold laughter startled everyone. They only heard him say something without context.
"Brat, you were clearly the one who started that fire back then!"
Queen stared at Tiger, sneering, "Fisher Tiger can't handle the blow? Has he gone mad?"
Dragon glanced at Tiger, seemingly sensing something, and suddenly looked up.
From within the fiery red Dragon Breath, an even more intense light suddenly erupted, like a rising sun.
Such intense sunlight almost blinded Kaido's eyes. The Dragon Breath in his mouth abruptly ceased, and he let out a tragic wail.
Kaido coiled his body, trying to retreat, but the sunlight suddenly shifted, becoming dark and profound. A mysterious suction force rendered him immobile.
Immediately after, Kaido saw Chu Yang's figure emerge from the two glows.
The other party held dual swords, and sunlight and moonlight extended behind him like wings.
At this moment.
Kaido seemed to see Kozuki Oden from back then, seeing the earth-shattering "Peach Origin Ten Fists."
No!
This time, the taste of death was even stronger!
"No!!!"
Kaido screamed in terror, but his body couldn't move. Part of this suction came from the moonlight, and another part was one of the Rinnegan's special abilities—Universal Pull.
The two wooden swords accurately landed on Kaido's body, and sunlight and moonlight branded new scars on his chest.
Destructive energy, even more terrifying than "Peach Origin Ten Fists," infiltrated Kaido's body, wreaking havoc wildly.
The title of strongest physique seemed like a joke at this moment.
The intense pain made Kaido unable to maintain his flame clouds, and he plummeted directly from the sky, crashing heavily onto the streets of Flower Capital.
Fortunately, the commoners had already fled, otherwise they would surely have been affected.
As Kaido fell, the laughter in the banquet hall also vanished. All members of the Beasts Pirates looked in terror at Chu Yang above the sky.
An unprecedented fear enveloped Queen.
Even though he knew that the previous attack couldn't kill Kaido, he still couldn't help but be afraid.
No one had ever been able to suppress Kaido so easily.
"Your vitality is truly tenacious. If it were anyone else, that last blow should have killed them," Chu Yang remarked, looking at Kaido slowly climbing out of the deep pit.
"Are you disappointed? Then next, I'll have to get serious."
Kaido, covered in blood, walked while his form continuously changed. Dense, bluish scales grew on his skin, and his originally robust body became even more muscular.
Coincidentally, Kaido landed exactly where there was a tavern, with many wine barrels stacked nearby.
Kaido picked up a wine barrel and drank it all, but his steps grew faster and faster, eventually turning into a rapid sprint.
Black lightning coiled around his Hassaikai, and as Kaido swung it, it caused bursts of thunder in the void.
"Drunken Dragon Bagua?"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly charged forward.
103. Chapter 103: Reverse Bounty and Cruel Punishment
103.
Drunken Dragon Bagua is not Kaido's technique, but a special state. In a drunken state, Kaido's speed, strength, and other aspects are enhanced.
Simply put, it's similar to being injected with adrenaline.
Drunken Dragon Bagua can be said to be Kaido's strongest state, and it also indicates that the enemy he faces is on the same level as him.
"I couldn't use this move in my fight with Kozuki Oden; I've always regretted it over the years."
Kaido stood before Chu Yang, looking severely injured, but his eyes were bright and full of excitement.
Hearing Kaido mention Kozuki Oden, Chu Yang, uncharacteristically, didn't mock him, but asked seriously, "Is that your final will? It's shorter than I imagined."
Kaido froze, then burst into laughter, "Your last words aren't long either."
As soon as his words fell, both figures disappeared simultaneously, transforming into two black lightning bolts crashing into each other. The entire Flower Capital shook violently, as if it was about to sink.
Although Kaido and Chu Yang's physiques were vastly different, their fighting styles were remarkably similar. Both followed a path of wide, sweeping attacks, relying on brute force to overcome skill.
Kaido wielded the Hassaikai in his hand, and with each smash, Haoshoku transformed into black lightning bursting from the void.
Various deadly moves attacked Chu Yang in the swiftest manner.
And Chu Yang, not to be outdone, retaliated with his wooden swords.
The collision between the slender wooden swords and the spiked club made people worry that the wooden swords would break in the next second.
But the more heart-stopping it was, the more their battle captivated people's attention.
In just a few breaths, the areas where they fought were ravaged, and the aftershocks of the battle pulverized everything.
The scars on Kaido's body also visibly increased.
Given that their Haoshoku was on par, Kaido discovered that his proud, powerful physique was actually inferior to Chu Yang's.
The human opposite him, who was countless times smaller than him, actually withstood several blows from the Hassaikai with his bare body!
And after Kaido was pierced by the wooden swords, he couldn't heal his injuries in time. The mysterious power possessed by each of the two wooden swords wreaked havoc within his body.
