One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Kaido has always pursued the title of the strongest, looking for powerful people with a certain reputation and defeating them one by one. He firmly believes that as long as he sits firmly on the throne of the world's number one, he can use powerful force to intimidate everyone, including the world government, so that they have to obey his will and reform this long-corrupted world.

Once he meets someone stronger than him, his desire to win will become stronger. Before completely defeating the opponent, Kaido will do anything at any cost, even if it means abandoning his dignity and living under someone else's roof, or even giving up his own life.

The man named Kubota whom Kaido met in the heavy rain was his first target.

After a year since Kaido became a soldier of the Woka Kingdom, he was convinced that his strength had improved a lot compared to the past, so he challenged Kubota to a duel with him, and the other party readily accepted his request.

It was an extremely fierce battle, and Kaido still remembers it vividly.

The two sides fought back and forth, and at one point they were evenly matched. The arena was completely destroyed, but as five hours had passed and they were still unable to determine the winner, the battle was ultimately deemed a draw.

Since then, the strongest twin walls of the Woka Kingdom were born, and this result made Kaido recognized by all the soldiers. But Kaido knew in his heart that he had lost this battle.

It is said that the Wandering Eight Diagrams Palm was a move that Kubota learned by chance when he was a merchant in the West Sea. As the name suggests, it is a palm technique that is mainly based on constant changes and rotations. As long as the opponent is hit, the acupuncture points on that part of the body will be blocked, which will make the blood flow obstructed and unable to continue fighting. When he stepped onto the battlefield, all enemies who chose to fight him in close combat were in trouble.

At the beginning, Kaido used his size advantage to fight with Kubota and barely avoided being touched by him. If he continued to drag it on, he would sooner or later end up falling to the ground.

What's more, there were several times when Kubota could have hit Kaido, but he always happened to reveal a flaw at the critical moment, allowing Kaido to easily avoid his attack.

It was obvious that Kubota had concealed his strength throughout the fight, and no one except his opponent could see it. Maybe to him, it was just a child's play.

Afterwards, Kaido tried many times to find Kubota to ask for clarification, but he was always changed the subject by Kubota. As time went by, the matter was left unresolved.

Therefore, Kaido still had no way of knowing what Kubota's true level was until he disappeared.

And at this moment, he finally figured out the answer.

"Up!"

With a roar like an explosion, the man once called "Kubota", now CP0 member Vidruvi, had a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He crushed the ground with his feet, and the whole person shot out like lightning, striking forward with a palm.

This palm came with great force, as fast as lightning, bringing with it a gust of wind, which was very different from the power of the previous fights with Kaido. Kaido was startled, knowing that if he was hit, the consequences would be disastrous, so he dodged from the left, but Vidruvi did not stop, turned around and quickly slapped out two more palms. Kaido quickly put the mace in front of him, and only heard two "slaps". Vidruvi's two palms hit the mace one after another. Kaido only felt the opponent's extremely heavy pressure, which made his arms numb and the tiger's mouth almost broken. The mace held in his arms was also shaken constantly, and there was even a crack on the surface.

"It's only three palms, little devil!"

Vidruvi shouted, his hands did not stop at all, changing his steps continuously, and slapping twelve palms like lightning. Kaido saw his palms coming like a storm, and he did not dare to take them head-on as before, so he had to dodge left and right to avoid the attack. The opponent's palms became more and more powerful, and the air was crackling. At first, Kaido could barely cope with it, but gradually he felt powerless, and in the end he was already struggling and extremely embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you? Where did all the energy you had in fighting me just now go?!"

Vidruvi suddenly slapped Kaido with a backhand palm. Kaido quickly turned sideways and barely avoided the palm, but the strong palm wind still made his blood surge up and he almost couldn't breathe. Seeing that his movements were stagnant, Vidruvi took advantage of the situation and turned over and slammed down with a backhand palm, slapping Kaido's chest quickly.

At this split second, Kaido made a prompt decision and threw the mace in his hand away. Vidruve had never expected that he would do this. He swung his right palm in a semicircle and hit the mace flying towards him. The mace broke into two pieces and fell to the ground with two dull sounds.

At the same time, the young man's right fist whizzed in, covered with a layer of dark purple domineering aura, emitting thick and long lightning, and blasted straight towards Vidruvi.

This was a desperate tactic that Kaido came up with in a hurry. He risked his weapons being broken and launched a sudden attack. At this moment, all his domineering energy was concentrated on that punch, and the power released was even as powerful as his unique skill "Thunderous Bagua". As long as he could hit the opponent before he could use the Six Styles, he would definitely cause him unpredictable damage.

"A trick? It's a little more clever than before. But it's still not good enough."

Vidruwe sneered, and quickly pressed out with his left palm, pushing away Kaido's arm, causing the direction of Kaido's fist to shift. Then he turned around and swung out a palm, hitting Kaido's right shoulder solidly. Kaido suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards like a cannonball, hitting the ground heavily, making a big hole.

"I really underestimated you, idiot. You are totally different from when you were in the Woka Kingdom..."

Kaido staggered out of the pit, pressing his right shoulder with his left hand. In addition to the burning pain in his shoulder, his entire right arm suddenly felt numb and unbearable, and it hung straight down, unable to move freely.

"Do you want to continue? I just pressed the acupuncture point on your right shoulder, and even your domineering aura can't flow freely. It can be said that you are now a useless person."

Vidruvi stood there calmly with his hands behind his back, as if he was admiring a mouse cornered by a wild cat. He said with a smile, "Give up now. For our past kindness, I might be able to give you the privilege of spending the rest of your life in Impel Hell."

"Stop saying these useless hypocritical words!"

Kaido clenched his left fist, stepped forward, stared at the man in front of him with gritted teeth, and roared angrily: "Even if I only have a head left, I will bite your neck off!"

"You haven't changed your stubborn temper after all these years."

Vidruvius sighed pretentiously, "Let me completely shatter your unrealistic fantasy."

He half-squatted in a horse stance, with his hands in front and behind, making a Baguazhang stance. His eyes became deeper, and a strong gust of wind swirled rapidly around him, making a harsh humming sound.

"Six styles? One hundred and twenty-eight wandering Bagua palms."

In an instant, Vidruvius pushed the ground with his right foot, and his body shot out suddenly like an arrow, rushing in front of Kaido at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Before Kaido could react, he flipped his palms and slapped him back a long distance. Then he rushed forward, his feet moving left and right, forward and backward. Every step was in perfect harmony with the eight trigrams of Bagua Palm. He slapped out more than a hundred palms in a row, hitting various parts of Kaido's body. Then he turned around again, flipped up his right palm and slapped Kaido's chin hard, causing him to fly into the air involuntarily.

Without giving the opponent any chance to breathe, Vidruvius stomped his feet on the ground and instantly flew into the air. His feet kept stomping on the air, making a series of sonic booms. He flew above Kaido like a wind and lightning. His body spun rapidly like a top, accompanied by bursts of breaking air sounds. He turned around and slapped Kaido's abdomen with two palms. Kaido screamed and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His muscles also caved in. The whole person flew backwards like a meteor, passed through a series of rocks and mountains, and hit the ground heavily.

The affected rocks collapsed one after another, with rubble flying and dust rising.

"Kid!"

The deafening sound reached his ears, and Newgate couldn't help but look back. He felt that Kaido's breath had rapidly declined in the previous moment.

"Where are you looking?!"

There was a rustling sound behind him. Newgate dodged the oncoming left sword of Ski and swung his naginata to collide with his right sword, splashing a lot of sparks. He shouted in a low voice, "I don't have time to waste here with you!"

Shiqi sneered: "It's no use just talking big! Just like that little brat, he will only end up in a miserable defeat!"

Behind him, a dense crowd of pirates gradually emerged, each holding a blade and with a fierce look on their face, approaching here quickly.

"It's Newgate with a bounty of 19.6 billion!"

"If we kill him, we'll become famous!"

"I heard there are a few accomplices. Don't let them go!"

Seeing that the enemy's reinforcements were increasing, Newgate smiled bitterly: "It has been delayed for too long. Although I am reluctant to use my ability at this time."

There was a huge deep pit on the ground in the distance. Kaido was lying in the center of the pit, with his back covered with stones and soil, his head covered with blood, his eyes unfocused, and he had obviously lost consciousness.

"The bright moon reflected on the sea surface outlines people's infinite longing."

Vidruvi slowly landed on an intact stone platform, looking down at the young man lying on the ground, and said thoughtfully, "Those who attempt to catch the moon will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea and never be able to climb out again."

There was a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes: "That is the end of your ridiculous life."

The continuous explosions interrupted Vidruvi's thoughts. He turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw colorful flames rising behind the island and the entire mountain range was also on fire. He couldn't help but sighed: "Those pirates always go too far. If they hurt the slaves and fruits, how can I explain to them?"

The air suddenly became humid, and the black clouds became denser and denser, as if they were huge rolls. Thunder rumbled in the distance and a faint flash of lightning streaked across the sky, as if foreshadowing the coming of a rainstorm.
