One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Newgate held the naginata in one hand and slashed four times quickly, causing the earth that bound Kaido's limbs to crack instantly.

Kaido slowly got up and moved his numb hands and feet, but still couldn't understand why Newgate wanted to get involved in his battle. He was about to go to him angrily to ask for clarification. Suddenly, he noticed that Newgate took out a wine gourd with his left hand, on which the words "Tiantian" were written in regular script.

"This is what you asked me to keep. Drink it all in one gulp. I don't want to be your babysitter."

Newgate threw the wine jug backwards without looking back. After it flew in an arc, Kaido caught it. He raised the wine jug, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

Kaido couldn't help but sigh, wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, threw the wine bottle aside, and felt indescribably refreshed. He picked up the mace and swung it a few times, making the air buzz. He grinned and said, "Fortunately, I prepared this in advance! My strength is back!"

Shi Ji saw the exhausted young man become full of energy again in the blink of an eye, and his eyeballs popped out of his sockets. He was extremely surprised: "Recovering strength by drinking? This is the first time I have seen this method!"

"Who said that guy is the most drunkard on Beehive Island?"

Newgate said this as a matter of course, with a hint of envy in his tone, remembering that Kaido fainted due to exhaustion after returning from a mission, and no matter how he called out, he couldn't wake him up. Fortunately, Capona brought the best wine in the tavern and poured it into Kaido's mouth, which woke him up suddenly and his body instantly recovered to normal.

Perhaps it was because Kaido's physique was highly compatible with alcohol, so Stussy later developed a medicinal wine based on this. Not only did it taste mellower, but even if a lot of domineering power was consumed in battle, it could be restored in one breath.

Of course, this medicinal wine is only effective for Kaido.

"Don't get in my way! I'll take down that guy Shiki!"

Kaido rushed forward again with his mace, but was stopped by Newgate, who spoke slowly, "Didn't you hear what I said? It's time to switch shifts with me."

"Do you look down on me?!"

Newgate held his forehead, feeling helpless about Kaido's unreasonableness, and pointed at a place with his naginata: "We've been fighting for so long, and you didn't even notice that there's one more person?"

Kaido was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a man in white sitting on the cliff. He noticed that he was staring at him, and waved at him: "Hello, I've been waiting here for a long time."

"When did that guy...?"

Newgate interrupted Kaido's surprised words and said, "I was also shocked at first. He is an agent sent by the government to trade with Shiki. Judging from his attire, he should be the most special CP0. That person can block his own aura and cannot be detected even with Observation Haki. You must be very careful."

"Be careful... Oh, haha! You actually said something like that to me."

Kaidou said with a smile, which was not so natural, "That is to say, the faceless man is also a powerful enemy that cannot be underestimated."

"That guy Shiki has been acting very relaxed until now. I'm afraid he hasn't used his true power yet. It will be difficult for you to fight him without eating the fruit."

Newgate strode up to Ski and said word by word, "I will deal with him, and you will be responsible for killing the other one. I just felt it, and although that person has a strong domineering aura, he is still inferior to Ski. It should not be difficult for you to deal with him with your current strength."

Kaido said with a wry smile: "I always feel uncomfortable when you say that..."

"Of course, this is just a preliminary estimate. Maybe that person is much stronger than I thought."

Newgate no longer paid attention to the young man, shifted his gaze to the blond man, and said in a deep voice, "You can accept such a game, right?"

"Hahaha! I don't care about these!"

Shiki held up his two swords, a scornful smile on his face, "Let me make it clear in advance that I only want to compete with Rocks, and I don't have time to play with you guys!"

"Being my subordinate? How dare you say that?"

Newgate's eyes flashed like lightning, and he spun the naginata in his hand in a big circle. "I will make you regret saying this."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men swung their weapons at the same time, causing a violent collision. A huge wave of air spread out from them, and the surrounding rocks broke into pieces and were blown away. The entire island was shaken by the two huge forces, and the nearby sea water even surged.

Kaido inserted the mace into the ground and managed to stand still. He was surprised and impressed by the fact that the two monsters in front of him had just exchanged one move and yet they had released such an earth-shaking momentum. Only then did he realize that what Newgate had just said was completely true.

"'I'm not even close to any of them', is that what you're thinking now?"

Kaido heard the voice and turned his head hastily. He saw that CP0 had jumped down from the stone platform and was walking towards him. He quickly pulled the mace out of the ground and raised it to his chest. He asked vigilantly, "Do you finally want to fight?"

"No way! I was just shocked by their strength and fell down accidentally."

CP0 shook his hands, his tone seemed full of grievance, "Don't worry, I have no intention of fighting with you. Of course, if you want to fight, I'm always here to accompany you."

"I don't see that you have the potential to irritate others."

Kaido subconsciously clenched his mace, stared at the masked man without blinking, and asked word by word, "And I've wanted to ask you since just now. Although your voice is much hoarser, it still sounds like someone I know when I listen carefully. Who are you?!"

Faced with the young man's almost hoarse question, CP0 still didn't care and gently touched the mask. Although he couldn't see his expression under the mask, he could sense a smile from his voice: "Oh? Is it such a coincidence? I'm just an ordinary government agent. Maybe his voice just happens to be similar. You can come and confirm it yourself... The premise is that you have to have the ability to do so."

Before he finished speaking, Kaido's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of CP0 in the blink of an eye, swinging a stick at his face. CP0's feet were motionless, and his upper body twisted violently like clay. He dodged the stick easily, pushed forward with his right hand, and knocked Kaido out. He rolled on the ground for several times before he could barely stand.

"Six Styles is a physical skill that we have learned since we were young through training from the government."

CP0 recovered and explained in an orderly manner, "The 'Paper Drawing' I just used is one of them."

"All these fancy tricks..."

Kaido brushed off the dust on his body. The previous blow did not cause him any damage. He exerted force with his feet, crushed the ground, jumped up, and kept spinning the mace with both hands, rapidly descending towards the target.

"Descend to the third world? Lead to Naraku!"

The mace dragged a long black lightning and fell from the sky with the force of thunder. CP0 looked up at the figure getting closer and closer to him, with his hands behind his back, as if indifferent.

"shave!"

Just as the mace was about to touch his hat, CP0's figure suddenly disappeared, and the mace hit the ground. Thick cracks spread wildly in all directions, and stones of varying sizes fell up and down, and the hard ground shattered in an instant.

It became bumpy and the surrounding mountains were shaking.

"Disappeared?!"

Kaido was wondering why his attack failed, when CP0 appeared behind him again, kicked out with his left foot, and a magnificent wind blade suddenly took shape.

"Lanjiao!"

The huge wind blade shot over with a whistling sound at the speed of chasing the wind and lightning. A cold light flashed in Kaido's eyes. He didn't care about his ugly posture and rolled to the left. With a loud "bang", a long gully was cut on the ground. A mountain range in front was split into two sections and collapsed with a loud bang.

The astonishing power made Kaido dare not underestimate the enemy anymore. He stood up suddenly and attacked with his mace like a violent storm, swinging it vigorously. However, CP0 always dodged each stick skillfully, without even a corner of his clothes being touched.

"What are you doing? I'm about to yawn."

CP0 dodged and taunted Kaido, which made Kaido even more angry and he swung his stick at him. Facing this powerful and heavy stick, CP0 suddenly gave up dodging and stood still.

"clang!"

The mace hit him hard, as if it hit the texture of steel, and his arm was almost numb. He almost couldn't hold the mace steadily. CP0 took the blow and remained motionless, without even a scratch on his body.

"Iron Block, as the name suggests, makes the body as hard as iron. Be careful when you see my body is not moving."

CP0 spoke, but his hands were not idle. He swiftly swung out with his left fist and hit Kaido's chest, causing his muscles to almost cave in. Kaido endured the severe pain and hit his wrist with another stick. Unexpectedly, the enemy's body twisted like a dragon, quickly avoiding the stick and returning to its original shape behind Kaido. His right index finger quickly stretched forward and stabbed into Kaido's back.

"Point to the gun."

As his finger was pulled out, a hole instantly appeared on Kaido's back, blood splattered out, the young man's face was distorted in pain, he staggered forward a few steps, his body swaying.

"Seeing you and Shiki fighting for so long, I thought you could entertain me."

CP0 shook his head in great disappointment. His gloves were stained red, with blood dripping down. "Is this the extent of the result?"

"...!"

Kaido gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself conscious and stand firm again.

As the other party spoke more, Kaido became more and more suspicious that he was someone he knew. He could not remain calm, and the power he exerted was greatly reduced.

"What am I thinking? That person is already dead! Even if he were still alive, he wouldn't come to a place like this!"

Kaido comforted himself in this way, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the agent who was gradually walking towards him.

"That's more like it. I don't want to play house with you."

The man flashed and disappeared from the spot again, leaving only the continuous sonic booms in the air.

Kaido closed his eyes and quietly felt the flow of the air.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and swung his club to the left. CP0 turned into a thin piece of paper and quickly swung to the other side. After returning to its original form, it stretched out its finger and stabbed Kaido's neck. Unexpectedly, Kaido's mace spun around halfway and hit the right side. CP0 didn't expect him to do this and couldn't use the iron block in a short time. He could only cross his hands to block. With lightning flying, the mace hit the agent's arms. CP0 couldn't bear the force and was blown away.

Just as he was about to hit the rock wall, he rolled in mid-air, stepped heavily on the rock wall with his feet, and landed steadily back to the ground with the force of recoil. Dense cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the rock wall where he had stepped.

Kaido was so angry that he couldn't help but sneer: "I was a little serious, but you are nothing more than that!"

CP0 stood on the ground quietly without saying a word. Cracks appeared in the middle of the mask on his face and continued to spread to the surroundings.

With a "clang" sound, the mask instantly shattered and turned into small pieces that fell to the ground.

At this moment, Kaido looked as if he had seen some devil, his face turned extremely shocked, his mace slipped from his hand, making a "thump" sound on the ground, and he stepped back several steps, trembling, "I didn't expect...it was really..."
