"Poof!"
Kaido's face darkened. Only when they actually fought did he realize how disgusting this extraordinary speed was.
He couldn't even touch the opponent's clothes, only being beaten passively.
"Damn bastard…!"
Thinking of this, Kaido immediately lost his fighting intent. He's not a masochist. "Archangel, move aside. We're not directly fighting you. I just want to take the Red Stone copy from Big Mom's hands. In exchange, I can give you another copy!"
"Have you given up?" Vladimir lowly chuckled. "Sorry, I have no interest."
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and suddenly divine light shone brightly. A holy light spear appeared out of nowhere.
"If you're brave enough, don't hide!"
Swish!
The divine light spear shot out like lightning, as if piercing through Kaido's body to make him feel a bone-chilling cold.
"Holy Light Spear!"
Swish!
The silver-white spear emitted dazzling light, aiming straight at Kaido's chest, piercing through the space at lightning speed, crossing over a hundred meters in an instant, approaching Kaido's chest.
"Bastard! Do I have a grudge with you guys!?"
Kaido roared angrily, his Haki fully unleashed, as if wearing an invisible armor.
He reached out with both hands, and in less than a hundredth of a second, he caught the flying divine spear.
The powerful impact pushed him backward, but under the protection of his Haki, he was able to resist the shock.
"Explode."
Vladimir whispered softly. Instantly, the silver spear shone with divine light, dazzling and blinding. It exploded with a thunderous boom, engulfing Kaido at close range.
The world instantly turned into a blinding white, and a pure white sun slowly rose.
Kaido couldn't dodge this kind of large-scale attack, especially at such close range. He could only harden his body and endure.
Boom!!
The huge explosion could be felt even outside the island. After the explosion, it took more than ten seconds before the shockwave arrived, followed by a raging wind.
The residual force of this attack swept across nearly one-fifth of Cake Island, flattening countless buildings.
Vladimir spread his wings and flew into the air, gazing down at the battlefield like a ruler.
After a long while, the aftershock dissipated.
In the thick dust at the explosion's center, Kaido's figure slowly reappeared.
His appearance was extremely tragic—his upper body was nude, with only a few pieces of clothing destroyed. His muscular torso was covered in bloodstains.
Especially his hands, which were almost blown off, with flesh and blood torn apart.
Because he had previously used his hands to grab the divine spear, the damage to his hands was the most severe during the explosion.
But even so, he hadn't died. His wounds were still healing rapidly.
"No wonder the Navy can't kill you. It's really hard to kill," Vladimir looked down at him calmly. "That strike just now, Whitebeard was here. Even if you don't die, you'd be seriously injured. But you can still hold on."
Hearing this, Kaido's eyes turned cold, flickering with killing intent.
He didn't want to conflict with the Phantom Organization. It's not because he's afraid, but because he doesn't want to cause trouble and interfere with his goal of seizing the Red Stone.
However, his body was injured, which clearly angered him.
But the more furious he was, the calmer Kaido's mind became.
"You can't kill me! At most, you'll only severely injure me. With this kind of injury, I can recover in ten minutes."
Kaido's expression was cold. He slowly stood upright. In just a brief moment, his bleeding had stopped.
---
"Is that so?" Vladimir grinned. "Then I'll let your 'old friend' come and play with you."
As soon as he finished, a roar of a dragon sounded.
A black streak of light flickered from the Archangel's chest and soared into the sky. The next moment, a towering black-scaled divine dragon, over a hundred meters long, suddenly appeared.
In that instant, the dragon's might suppressed the entire island. Everyone on the island could feel a heavy pressure pressing down on their shoulders.
"Is… this… a Sea Dragon?!"
Outside the island, on a warship, Sengoku's expression changed drastically.
"His aura is stronger than before!"
Admiral Kizaru muttered blankly. "What exactly happened?"
One after another, the Kenbunshoku Haki extended toward the center of the island.
Meanwhile, Kaido's pupils shrank, and he cursed inwardly.
"You're ruthless!"
Without hesitation, he turned around and started to flee.
He wasn't afraid of one-on-one. No matter how strong the Archangel was or how fast his speed, it was hard to kill him with a single strike. But a two-on-one situation was different.
"I am the Master of the Ocean."
The Sea Dragon's voice echoed, and its dragon eyes looked down at Kaido below. "You provoke us, the Phantom Organization, and seek death!"
As he spoke, he swung a claw downward.
Suddenly, five water blades shot out, expanding rapidly into five enormous warship-sized blades.
Kaido turned his head and gritted his teeth, shouting, "What kind of skill is this, two-on-one?!"
He dared not fight head-on and chose to dodge instead.
