One Piece : Kaido Brother

Chapter 496 496

"Saturn!"

Nusjuro and the other three widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

Saturn, who had comprehended the Power of the Destruction Rule, had been blown apart by Caesar with a single punch!

"You... could it be... have you broken through to the Calamity Realm?"

Nusjuro's face turned extremely grim, his fingers gripping his sword so tightly they turned white.

"What do you think?"

Caesar tilted his head, took a step forward, and his majestic figure traversed layers of space, bypassing the Gorosei, Angel Kings, and CP elites, appearing at the entrance of the Chamber of authority.

"What?!"

Ju peter's jaw dropped, his expression as if he'd seen a ghost.

"This is the spatial power only Lord Imu can use!"

Mars's expression turned grave, feeling that the situation had spiraled beyond their control.

They had originally believed that with the five of them, plus over twenty Seraphim and more than ten CP First Sequence experts—totaling dozens of Admiral-level combatants—they could easily handle any troublemakers.

But the formidable abilities Caesar had displayed made them feel as if they were facing Imu herself.

"Don't worry about here! Go destroy the signal source! We'll handle them!" Dragon roared loudly.

Immediately, the large group that had followed Caesar surged forward, charging at their enemies.

Kizaru was the fastest, instantly appearing before Mars.

A pitch-black light beam pierced through the void, shooting toward Mars head.

"Kizaru!"

Mars body instantly turned jet-black, covered in an immensely thick layer of Armament Haki.

Then, the black light beam struck the surface of his fist, leaving a white mark.

Mars curled his lips in a scornful smile.

"Do you really think Marine Admirals are the world's top combat power? Without comprehending rules, you'll always be ants! Kizaru, you—a Marine Admiral who betrayed the World Government—actually teamed up with Caesar, who destroyed the entire Marines. I feel nothing but chills for the righteous Marines!"

His figure vanished, the air erupting with a dull explosion.

The next moment, a black fist drifted lightly toward Kizaru's temple.

On that fist was the same Destructive Power as Nusjuro and Saturn's.

It seemed just as Caesar had said—the only rule they comprehended was the Destructive Power.

Kizaru's eyes turned completely black, his killing intent surging like a dark tide.

Facing Mars terrifying fist, he didn't even dodge.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Countless black rays shot out from within Kizaru's body, transforming him into a giant black porcupine.

Terrifying gamma rays flooded Mars vision, raining down on his body like a storm!

Boom!

A thick black light beam sent Mars flying hundreds of meters before he crashed heavily to the ground!

Whoosh!

Kizaru's body dissipated and reappeared above where Mars had landed, like a black sun.

"Gamma—Yasakani no Magatama!!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Black orbs of light poured down like a violent storm, relentlessly bombarding Mars body!

"Rules? Screw your damn rules! Speed is power! Catch me first before you talk!"

"Nusjuro is mine!!"

The one-armed Shanks roared wildly, his body erupting with a massive burst of golden lightning, his red hair standing on end.

Wielding his Supreme Great Blade, he sliced open hundreds of meters of earth with a single slash, directly blasting Nusjuro away!

On the shattered jade steps, Nusjuro stood up with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face dark as he glared at Shanks.

"Shanks, are you betraying us too?"

Shanks gripped his long blade tightly, his aura like a raging storm.

A visible crimson glow erupted from his body, crashing down toward Nusjuro!

"Betrayal? It doesn't matter! No matter what identity or bloodline I once had! Now, I only want to do one thing!"

The ground beneath Shanks' feet shattered inch by inch as he soared into the air, slashing his blade toward Nusjuro's face!

"Protect this planet!!!"

"Hahaha, hahahaha! Protect this planet?"

Nusjuro laughed heartily, the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand easily shattering the sword light Shanks had sent his way.

"Don't talk nonsense, Shanks! Compared to the vast starry divine kingdom, a mere native planet isn't worth our attachment! Come! Follow us! I'll take you to Lord Imu's homeland, to witness the vastness of the universe!"

Nusjuro's blade, imbued with Destructive Power, overwhelmed Shanks, slamming him deep into the earth, nearly throwing him into the rumbling, massive gears below.

"No matter how vast the universe, it will always be a foreign land! Though small, this is our home!"

With Shanks' explosive roar, an extreme crimson energy seeped from his body, coalescing on the cold edge of his blade, flowing like blood.

"Then let me destroy you!"

Nusjuro's Shodai Kitetsu gleamed with pitch-black Destructive Power, slicing through a thousand meters of sky as it cut toward Shanks' body!

Clang!

The moment the red and black blades clashed, the Shodai Kitetsu, hailed as a Supreme Great Fast Blade, suddenly shattered in the middle.

Shanks' nameless crimson blade, red as blood, flashed like a scarlet lightning bolt, sweeping past Nusjuro's neck under his stunned gaze.

"Kill... the Power of Killing Rules..."

Swish!

A head, eyes wide with disbelief, soared into the sky!

"Kaido! A worm like you dares to face me? Without even comprehending the Power of Rules, you're not even qualified to step into the universe!"

Ju peter's fists radiated black energy as he blasted Kaido into the town of Mary Geoise, toppling a large swath of buildings.

Amid the dust-filled town, a massive dragon claw emerged from the rubble. Kaido's burly body began to show patches of blue dragon scales.

"Wororororo, calling me a worm, old man? You're the first!"

Kaido bared his ferocious fangs, his burly figure vanishing instantly. The Hassaikai in his hand shattered the air, exploding with countless black lightning bolts as it smashed toward Ju peter's face.

Ju peter's body swelled, muscles filling his aged frame, transforming him into a giant nearly eight meters tall. His massive fists, brimming with destructive energy, directly met Kaido's kanabo with a colossal punch!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two moved with the speed of lightning, swift as thunder.

Explosion after explosion tore the town to shreds, leaving the earth fractured beyond recognition.

With Ju peter's furious roar, Kaido's abdomen was pierced by his fist, crashing heavily to the ground!

Ju peter spat a bloody mouthful and cast a contemptuous glance at the fallen Kaido.

"Overestimating your... huh?"

A ferocious, massive dragon tail coiled around his chest and abdomen, its cyan scales shifting as terrifying physical force squeezed inward, causing blood to continuously spill from his mouth.

Unbeknownst to when, Kaido's lower body had transformed into a dragon tail while his upper body remained human.

The dozens-of-meters-long colossal dragon tail tightened relentlessly, squeezing until Ju peter's eyes rolled white.

Kaido's upper body rose upright, looking down upon Ju peter.

Slap slap slap.

His large hand patted Ju peter's cheek.

"Have you heard this saying? A Supreme Great Fast Blade in the hands of trash is fucking worse than a flintlock!"

"My title as the Strongest Creature was earned through battle!"

Boom!
