Chapter 499: SFDI - 499
Drake had already roughly understood Kaido’s strength just now.
His first impression of him was that he was sturdy, and he had eaten Drake’s strike head-on with just his body’s defense, but he hadn’t been injured much, and Drake had only seen this body strength on Acnologia, that black dragon.
This battle was definitely not one that could be resolved easily for Drake either.
It was the same for Kaido, and Drake’s kick had been quite powerful, and his head had still been buzzing right now.
But this had also made him excited, and although the power that the other party had used had been very strange, and he also didn’t seem to know how to use haki, he had the qualifications to become his opponent just by being able to injure his Azure Dragon form.
He had been looking forward to the other party being able to display even more power in this one-on-one, so he hadn’t been polite, swinging his studded club.
Starting with a big move to show respect, Kaido had come up with a Thunder Bagua.
At that time, Straw Hat Luffy had made a huge disturbance in a Four Emperor’s territory core region, and had still retreated with his entire body, and his momentum had been unmatched for a time, and he had even been called the Fifth Emperor.
And then he had entered another Four Emperor’s territory non-stop, shouting before Kaido’s face that he would become the Pirate King.
And then he had seen this move, Thunder Bagua, and the famous scene of him quitting his addiction to power had been born. And now, the one who had been facing this move had transformed into Drake.
It was hard to imagine that Kaido’s huge body actually had this terrifying speed, and that studded club, which had been wrapped in black lightning, had blasted before Drake’s face in the blink of an eye.
He didn’t know if it was because he had seen Kaido transform from a dragon into a human, but the Dragon Slayer skill was still in effect even though he was in human form right now.
Feeling the powerful force that had been surging within his body, Drake hadn’t had any intention of dodging, and had raised his fist, blasting over.
"Flame Dragon King’s Crushing Fist!"
His fist and the studded club had collided fiercely, like a thunderclap had exploded on flat ground, and then flames, mixed with black lightning, had spread out violently.
The Beasts Pirates crew members who had been watching the battle had had to retreat again, and even King and Queen had chosen to retreat.
With another loud bang, the black lightning had torn apart the sea of fire, allowing everyone to see the details of the battle.
Kaido had been swinging his studded club, leaving behind countless afterimages, and Drake had also had two gauntlets appear on his hands, and he had been colliding head-on with the heavy and powerful studded club.
According to Kaido’s view, haki was the key if you wanted to become a top powerhouse in the pirate world.
But Drake hadn’t used Armament Haki at all even after trading blows with him this many times, and had instead used an ability that he had never seen before.
This had made Kaido even more excited, and the muscles on his arms had bulged up, and he had slammed down heavily with his club.
Drake had used his forearm to block this club, and the ground below his feet had shattered with a loud bang, and he couldn’t help but grin.
Although he had known long ago that the strong people of the pirate world had very freakish bodies, he hadn’t expected that they would be this freakish.
And there was also the power of haki, Armament plus physical, Conqueror’s plus mental, and it was with the blessing of these two kinds of haki that every normal attack of Kaido’s had quite astonishing power.
Flames had surged out from Drake’s eyes, and scales had appeared on his cheeks. The studded club had actually been pushed back by Drake.
Kaido’s body had leaned back, and he had seen Drake charge up, blasting an uppercut on the neat muscles that had been arranged on his abdomen.
Kaido couldn’t help but open his mouth wide, but that scorching pain had made Kaido’s ferocity even stronger, and with a movement of his wrist, the studded club had directly swept over.
Drake had done a tumble, flying out, just happening to dodge the studded club.
And Kaido had also seen the clear, scarlet fist mark on his abdomen, which had made him reveal an even more sinister smile.
"Hey! Brat, say your name again, you’re worth me remembering!"
Drake had calmed his breathing, opening his mouth, saying, "Drake, a passing Dragon Slayer!"
Kaido had been stunned, opening his mouth, saying, "A dragon hunter? If you want to hunt me, you still have to see if you have the ability, brat!"
The meaning of Dragon Slayer was indeed dragon hunter, and there wasn’t any problem with Kaido’s understanding.
Seemingly intentionally, Kaido had transformed into a giant dragon in place, roaring towards Drake.
With just a roar, Kaido had stirred up violent winds.
"Demolishing Wind!"
Several wind blades had been swirling towards Drake in the violent winds, and each one was comparable to the slashes of a swordsman.
Drake had taken a deep breath, and Dragon Force had been activated in the blink of an eye.
Kaido hadn’t been able to help but reveal an interested expression, and the changes on Drake’s body were really extremely similar to the beastman form of a Zoan ability user.
But although the beastman form of a Zoan ability user had combined the advantages of the human form and the beast form, and was the strongest battle form, it wouldn’t make his aura change this much all of a sudden like Drake had.
Flames had extended out along Drake’s arms, and they had swept towards the wind blades with the swing of Drake’s arms.
"Fire Dragon’s Wing Attack!"
The wind blades had been churned into bits by the flames, and Drake had also pierced through the sea of fire and the storm, charging towards Kaido, who had been stepping on flame clouds.
Kaido had looked down at Drake, not making any movements, but a thick bolt of purple lightning had fallen from the sky.
Apart from the body enhancement that was stronger than regular Zoan types, the most powerful power of a Mythical Zoan devil fruit was the supernatural power that only those who controlled legendary mythical beasts could possess.
And the ability that Kaido, who had eaten the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Azure Dragon, had mastered was the terrifying ability to control the weather.
Lightning was naturally also included within it, and it had directly hit Drake at this time, and the thick lightning had directly shrouded Drake within it.
Before the pirates who had been watching on the side could even begin to jeer smugly, countless flames had drilled out from within the lightning, devouring the lightning in return.
Drake had charged out from within, unleashing a Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist with an uppercut, making Kaido’s huge dragon head rear up.
But Kaido’s divine dragon body was quite convenient, and even if his head had been hit by a punch, the other parts could still launch attacks.
That tail had swept over at the same time, blasting Drake away.
Drake had landed on the ground, reaching out his hand, tearing off the upper garment that had been almost destroyed by the lightning just now.
He didn’t know why, but the consumption of his upper garments had been a bit too fast recently, and Drake had reminded himself that he had to pay attention to it later on. If it really didn’t work, he might as well make a piece of clothing with high defensive power!
And Drake had already transformed into facing away from the Beasts Pirates’ group at this time, and King and the others had also seen Drake’s back.
Drake’s back didn’t have any especially exaggerated muscles, and it also hadn’t formed any demon face or the kanji for humanity.
There was a saying that a tiger had the back of a bear, and from King’s point of view, it was as if he had really seen a bipedal tiger.
Although he didn’t have exaggerated muscles, King could feel the terrifying power that had been contained within it.
And Kaido had noticed this long ago, because his lips had been wearing a trace of blood because of Drake’s punch.
A cruel smile had also appeared on the divine dragon’s face, and he had opened his mouth wide towards Drake. And at his throat, the firelight had become increasingly bright.
Queen had shrieked like a duck whose neck had been grabbed, "Wait, Kaido aniki, Onigashima will be ruined if you use that move in this direction!"
The surrounding pirates had been even more frightened, scattering in all directions, and they had also seen how terrifying that move of Kaido’s was, and if they didn’t run quickly, they were probably not even going to leave behind a corpse.
Kaido, on the other hand, hadn’t cared at all, and the flames at his throat had become increasingly strong. Unlike Queen, who was like a headless ant, King didn’t think that his own captain would destroy the Beasts’ base.
Drake had smiled, and had also bent over, opening his mouth. A scarlet magic circle had been rotating and lighting up before him.
In just a few seconds, both sides had accumulated enough power.
"Heat Breath!"
"Flame Dragon King’s Roar!"
Two pillars of fire had erupted towards each other, colliding together in mid-air. After being stalemated for a few seconds, they had spread out at the same time.
Even though it had been the morning, the firelight that had been unleashed at Onigashima’s location could also be seen on the Udon and Hakumai coastlines, which were the closest to Onigashima.
And the huge skull on Onigashima had also been affected, and a small part had collapsed as if it had been bitten by some kind of monster.
