One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Although it was only a moment, Newgate could see clearly that the figure jumping off the cliff was the newcomer Kaido. Seeing that he did not use the ability of "little devil" and rushed down directly, he could not help but curse "reckless" in his heart.

It was not until he used his Observation Haki to sense that Kaido had landed safely on the ship that he felt relieved. Then he found that dozens of navy men had picked up guns and surrounded Kaido, with Siluk standing directly opposite him. He couldn't help but worry for him again.

What on earth is that kid thinking? Fortunately, with his strength, he should be able to hold Xiluk back for a while. We have to send these navy to support him as soon as possible...!

Thinking of this, Newgate spread his wings and rushed into the sky, bypassing the crowd like a hurricane, and in a blink of an eye, he approached a naval rear admiral who was commanding. The rear admiral was caught off guard and was stabbed hard in the chest. A large amount of blood sprayed in the sky. After letting out a sharp howl, the man fell straight towards the sea.

The pirates were struggling to hold on, but when they saw the captain use his divine power to kill an enemy commander, their morale was boosted and they turned to counterattack the navy. Stussy slowly got up, took out a syringe from his arms, and injected an injection into the injured arm. In a moment, the wound healed quickly and recovered as before.

"Hehe, what kind of punishment should you receive?"

She lifted her hair with her slender jade fingers, then slipped into the enemy camp like a ghost and bit several sailors on the neck. The sailors only felt a slight numbness and itching in the wounds. Just as they were about to raise their guns to shoot, their muscles began to dehydrate and shrivel rapidly, and eventually became wrinkled, leaving only a bag of skin, which floated softly in the wind.

"Don't be afraid! We still have the advantage in numbers! We must hold them back before Vice Admiral Xiluk comes to support us!"

A naval colonel kicked the attacking pirates away and shouted loudly to the entire army. The remaining navy was encouraged and drew their swords, rushing forward to chop at the pirates who were swarming in. For a while, the fight in the air was extremely fierce and the outcome was unpredictable.

"It seems to be very lively up there..."

Countless unconscious marines and pirates fell from the sky into the sea one after another. Looking up at all this, Xiluk couldn't help but sigh. He put his hands behind his back and turned to face the boy in front of him. He asked in a puzzled tone: "By the way, I seem to have heard the name Kaido somewhere. Can you briefly tell me your story?"

A captain with a gun answered, "Lieutenant General, he is the wanted criminal who destroyed several prison ships two years ago. He is extremely powerful. Many navy officers above the rank of brigadier general have suffered at his hands. Please be careful."

"It's him."

Xiluk suddenly hit the palm of his right hand with his left fist, and suddenly realized, "I don't deliberately remember the appearance of the wanted criminal. I forgot it for a moment, and now things have become troublesome..."

Kaido seemed a little impatient. He stretched out his legs and stepped on the ground, leaving a shallow pit. He shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't have time to mess with you!"

Xiluk spread his hands, showing a helpless expression, and teased the boy: "What an arrogant kid, don't you think it's a bit bold to say such words in this situation?"

Kaido glanced at the navy around him who were on high alert, and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it will be just you and me soon!"

After saying that, Kaido's eyes flashed with a red brilliance, and dozens of long snake-like domineering auras were released from him to the surroundings. All the navy officers surrounding Kaido foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground one after another. In an instant, Kaido and Siluk were the only ones left on the ship.

"Oh? You actually have the Conqueror Haki... To be honest, I'm a little jealous."

Xiluk praised, pulling out a weapon from his waist, holding the steel rod in both hands, and taking an attacking stance, "Just this alone does not mean that you can defeat me. Next, I hope you can remember the reason why I can climb to this position..."

As soon as the last word came out of his mouth, Kaido had already flashed behind him, swinging his mace at him and slashing at him in the waist, like a flash of lightning. Xiluk seemed to have eyes on his back, and he flicked his long stick back to block the extremely heavy mace. At the same time, he quickly turned around, raised his left leg, and kicked Kaido in the abdomen with a roundhouse kick. Kaido raised his left fist and successfully blocked the opponent's kick, but his left arm was also slightly painful. Taking advantage of the moment when the boy fell into stiffness, Xiluk's right hand shot out straight like a venomous snake, and the long stick wrapped in the sound of the wind pierced Kaido's right eye.

Seeing that the tip of the stick was close to Kaido's eyes, Kaido suddenly lowered his body and swung the mace in his hand from bottom to top towards Xiluk's chest. This attack came too suddenly. Xiluk hurriedly retreated, but was still a step too slow. With a "swish", the mace drew a long bloody mark on his chest. At the same time, Kaido jumped to the back, his body pressed against the side of the ship, and pulled a certain distance from his opponent.

Xiluk looked down at the wound. The wound was not very deep, but it still frightened him. He realized that this young man was indeed an unprecedentedly strong enemy. He gradually stopped looking down on him and smiled. "You are so skilled that you can start your own business. Why are you willing to follow Rocks' orders?"

Kaido's eyes darkened, he tightly gripped the mace in his hand, and said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you."

"That guy is a big villain who openly resists the government. If you follow him, you will end up dead."

Xiluk seemed not to notice his expression and continued, "Of course, the crimes you have committed so far are enough to sentence you to death. As a reward for hurting me, I will kill you in an instant and you won't feel any pain at all!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his right palm and turned it 180 degrees clockwise. An invisible force gushed out from his palm. Kaido activated his observation Haki and saw a large irregular-shaped air mass flying towards him. He did not dare to delay and jumped up from the ground. The side of the ship behind him was affected by the impact and suddenly bent into a "U" shape.

Shilluk was not surprised by Kaido's dodge, and he kept hitting the air with his palm. After dodging the air masses from above, middle and below, Kaido raised his mace with both hands, somersaulted forward, and smashed straight at his opponent.

Seeing that the iron rod was about to hit the navy's crown, Xiluk sneered slightly, twisted his whole body into a long rope, nimbly avoided Kaido's head-on attack, quickly circled around him dozens of times, and quickly contracted towards the middle, intending to strangle him tightly.

Kaido did not give the enemy this opportunity. He suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared above the bow. He stretched out his hand to pull off a section of the mast and shot away like lightning. Xiluk's soft and invisible body flashed to the side, the flagpole was firmly inserted into the deck, and the tail was still trembling. At the same time, Xiluk returned to his original form, and the whole person soared into the sky and flew straight to the bow.

Seeing that Xiluk was spinning the steel rod in his hand and smashing it towards him, Kaido quickly swung out his mace to block the blow, but the extremely strong steel rod twisted like noodles and turned into a long whip, sweeping away quickly and powerfully. Kaido hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, and the long whip quickly made a beautiful spin in the air and continued to chase. Kaido was careless for a moment, and his wrist holding the mace was tightly wrapped by the long whip. Xiluk grabbed the tail end of the whip, lifted Kaido high into the air, and then threw him to the ground fiercely. With a loud "bang", a big hole was smashed on the deck again, and Kaido fell into it and disappeared.

"Tsk, I didn't kill him..."

Xiluk frowned slightly, jumped into the cave, and came to the warehouse on the lower level used to store food. The lights in the warehouse were dim and flickering. There was no human figure inside except for the messy piles of wooden boxes. Xiluk had to activate his observation Haki and carefully search for Kaido's breath.

"It's useless. I know the terrain here very well. No matter how hard you try to hide, it will be useless."

The silence around him made Xiluk's heavy footsteps even more audible. As he walked forward, he carefully observed his surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks.

Suddenly, a heavy and turbid breathing sound came from behind a large wooden box. Xiluk looked closely and saw a figure sitting behind the wooden box. He seemed to be seriously injured, and his outline was vaguely visible. There was no doubt that this was the target he was chasing.

"I found you! Final blow!"

The man let out a long laugh, swung out a whip like a spirit snake, and swiftly rolled it behind the wooden box. Kaido seemed not to notice and was tightly entangled by the whip without any resistance. After confirming that the enemy was fixed in place, Xiluo flicked his fingers and several invisible air balls rushed out, bypassing the wooden box and hitting Kaido's head, right arm and chest one by one, while retracting the long whip. With the sound of bones breaking from time to time, Kaido's whole body gradually twisted into a ball, without a groan, obviously dead.

"Huh, it took quite some time, but I finally got rid of this guy. Now let's go deal with those guys in Newgate."

Xiluk breathed a sigh of relief and released the power attached to the whip. He turned around and was about to leave with the steel rod in his hand, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. He had no time to dodge and was hit hard on the back. The steel rod flew out of his hand and was broken into two pieces by the impact of the wind pressure. His body flew forward involuntarily, crashing through several boxes and making a heavy muffled sound.

"Luckily I made preparations in advance, otherwise I might have been killed by you."

In the darkness, a strong figure holding an iron rod slowly appeared. It was Kaido. He strode to the back of the wooden box and looked at the fragments that were slowly deflated and scattered all over the ground. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this thing to be useful. The women of Newgate are really capable."

Time goes back to an hour ago, when Newgate's pirate ship had just entered the strait.

"Hiluke's ability can twist matter at will. If you approach him rashly, you will suffer a great loss. I was able to fight him with my domineering power and stay safe. Although I said that I would deal with Hiluke, things change rapidly. It is inevitable that someone else among us will run into Hiluke, and the most likely one is you."

Seeing Newgate pointing at him, Kaido couldn't help but feel a little proud and shouted, "That's great, I want to fight that guy too!"

"Ahem, until then... Stussy!"

Newgate coughed twice and waved his hand to signal the charming woman to come over. Stussy gently placed the box in his hand on the ground, took out a soft, transparent leather bag from it, and threw it towards Kaido, covering him.

"Ugh! What?"

Kaido was about to struggle, but Stussy pulled the skin off his body again. After touching Kaido, the skin began to swell slowly, and bright colors appeared on the surface. In a moment, a lifelike Kaido stood in front of everyone.

Seeing that the puppet looked exactly like him, Kaido's eyes widened in surprise and he froze in his place. Stussy kept pulling the puppet into a small ball, took out a glass tube from his body, put the leather bag into it, handed the test tube to Kaido, and smiled and winked: "Brother Kaido, this is the 'scapegoat' I developed. Its body structure is the same as a real person, and it can also release the same aura as the real person. Even when facing a master who is good at observation, it can be mistaken for the real person. Please keep it~"

Kaido frowned upon hearing this and subconsciously raised his hand to refuse: "I am a warrior, how can I use such a thing!"

"Humph, it would take me half a year to invent a tool like this!"

Stussy turned away angrily, took Newgate's arm and said coquettishly, "Newgate, can you teach him a lesson for me~"

Newgate shook his head helplessly and said meaningfully: "This is not an arena. If you insist on being fair, it will only bring trouble. If you insist on winning or losing with your opponent and end up being annihilated, what's the point of winning?"

Hearing the last sentence, Kaido was stunned for a while with his mouth open. Thinking of someone who had taught him this truth before, he couldn't help but sigh, took the reagent from Stussy, and said, "I agree."

Back in the present, Kaido turned his gaze away from the debris and toward the large cloud of dust rising in the distance.

"You little brat, you actually used a substitute...!"

Xiluk slowly crawled out of the ruins. The spine on his back was already cracked from the blow. He stood up with difficulty, bloodshot eyes, and gritted his teeth and blurted out, "I will never forgive you, I will tear you into pieces!"

He waved his hands quickly to the left and right, and a vast group of air masses rushed towards Kaido. Wherever they touched, they immediately became exaggeratedly distorted, and the originally sturdy wooden box instantly became like a rag.

Kaido concentrated and swung his club to push away the flying air mass. His mace was covered with a layer of armed color domineering, so it did not deform when it came into contact with the air mass. The boy continued to rush forward without stopping, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Xiluk.

"Tsk! How troublesome!"

Hiluke's arms grew long and stabbed straight at Kaido in a spiral shape. Kaido turned his head and dodged the two fierce attacks. Taking advantage of this gap, Hiluke exhaled a ball of gas and shot towards Kaido. Kaido didn't expect him to have such a move. His left arm was hit squarely and twisted more than ten times in an instant, and blood flowed out.

"Hehe, this is the result of going against justice..."

Xiluk's smile soon froze on his face. The young man in front of him did not show any pain. He swung the iron rod with his remaining right hand and placed it above his left shoulder. In an instant, countless dark purple armed color domineering gathered on the surface of the iron rod, forming a high-speed surging electric current, making a crackling sound, causing the entire cabin to vibrate continuously.

"Thunder gossip!"

With thunder and lightning, the iron rod in Kaido's hand streaked across the sky like a meteor, as fast as thunder, and hit Xiluk's forehead heavily. Xiluk groaned, and the whole person was instantly knocked away by the fierce force, crashing through the ceiling and flying high into the sky.

"The reason for your defeat is that you relied too much on your abilities and neglected the cultivation of your domineering aura."

Kaido turned around, looked at the figure in the air, and grinned with a hearty smile that represented victory, "With your ability, you can't even think of defeating Newgate!"
