Chapter 146: Is that you? The so-called Emperor of the Sea?

"Hmmmm... Excellent! Blocking my attack just now, it must be the Tyrant Aura's entanglement! To achieve this, you are definitely not weak!"

"Hmmmm..."

"This time, it's a battle between kings!"

Kaido roared with excitement, raising his mace and swinging it fiercely towards Third Generation Ai.

"Thunder Roar: Bagua!"

"Well done! Thunder Plow Hot Blade!"

Third Generation Ai swung his right arm, clashing with the mace.

BOOM!!!

The impact caused black lightning to rage, shattering the rocks beneath them, which were only a few thousand square meters in size.

Both of them began to plummet towards the ground at high speed.

"Hmmmm... Good! Good! This is the feeling I'm looking for! Hahaha! Come on, kill me, or let me kill you! Hmmmm..."

Kaido spread his arms wide and roared.

Jin, on the side, spread his wings and flew down.

"Hahaha! This feeling is amazing! I acknowledge you, strong one from another world!" Third Generation Ai laughed wildly.

The other ninjas, seeing this, also began to cast their jutsu and followed suit.

BOOM!!!

The ground shook violently as Kaido and Third Generation Ai crashed onto it.

The group had no time to ponder whether the two were unharmed.

Suddenly, a blue lightning bolt flashed, and a massive figure charged towards the other without hesitation.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two figures intertwined and collided repeatedly.

Countless black lightning bolts exploded with each clash, ravaging the area, and the ground crumbled continuously.

From a distance, Jin's eyes spun rapidly, his expression indifferent:

"The leader of this place is quite powerful, able to fight Kaido to this extent. However..."

Jin's voice trailed off as Kaido struck again, sending Third Generation Ai flying.

"Aren't the people of this world supposed to possess various attribute abilities? Fighting Kaido with pure physical strength isn't a wise choice.

Why not use those powers?"

Jin was puzzled. He glanced at the other Empire members in the distance, seeing their confident expressions as they watched Third Generation Ai. He was surprised:

"So confident in your leader? It seems... they've also been holding back.

But... Kaido won't lose so easily.

Even if you are a crucial factor in Roger's ascent to the throne."

"What's wrong? What's wrong, leader from another world? Is this all the power you have? I haven't even gone all out yet!" Kaido roared.

"Hahahaha! This battle is fantastic! I like your style, big guy!

But you're right, the warm-up is over!

New Thunder God Armor!"

Third Generation Ai shouted, having been struck again.

The blue lightning that enveloped him exploded into countless black lightning bolts, surrounding his body.

Kaido, charging towards him, narrowed his eyes:

"This... his entire body is wrapped in Tyrant Aura? What an incredible technique..."

Whoosh!

Third Generation Ai suddenly stomped on the air with his foot.

The air beneath his foot was instantly compressed by a powerful force, creating a visible air mass that slammed into the ground, blasting a hundred-meter-wide crater.

Third Generation Ai, propelled by this force, instantly appeared before Kaido and punched forward.

Kaido blocked with his mace, but the force sent both him and the mace flying.

The ground was furrowed with a kilometer-long trench due to the intense friction.

"It seems Third Generation Ai is indeed stronger," Darui observed from a distance, a slight smile forming on his lips. His peripheral vision caught Jin, who had accompanied Kaido to the Empire, and his calm demeanor caused Darui's heart to sink.

Had the big guy not yet unleashed his full power?

BOOM!!!

Kaido finally landed, and violent black lightning erupted, sending debris flying.

Kaido reappeared, but compared to before, he now had blue scales covering his body, a horn on his head, and a tail swaying behind him.

"Hmmmm..."

Kaido, in his Dragon Human Form, laughed:

"You're indeed impressive, Third Generation Ai, isn't it? Join my crew, and let's conquer the sea together! We'll become the sole rulers of the ocean!"

"Is this... the so-called Animal Type Fruit Power?"

Darui recalled the descriptions of the Fruit from the third world on the internet, and his heart stirred.

The other ninjas also showed surprise at this revelation.

Hearing Kaido's call, Third Generation Ai laughed:

"Join your crew?

Conquering the sea? Don't joke around, big guy. Whether it's the sky, the sea, or the land, they've long been subjugated by the Empire!

The Empire's conquest now lies only in the stars and other worlds!"

"Rumble... That's truly a pity! For now, let's continue our battle to the fullest!"

Kaido's final words rang out.

His figure transformed into a blue streak of light and shot out once more, while Third Generation Ai also shot forward at high speed.

A blue and a black streak of light intertwined, wreaking havoc across the land and sky once again.

The battle between the two lasted for an entire hour.

Finally, under the somewhat incredulous gazes of the Empire's people, Kaido, the Dragon Human, struck Third Generation Ai with a club, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Huff... huff... huff... You win, big guy. Your stamina and strength surpass mine. I admit defeat in this battle."

Third Generation Ai, covered in blood, lay in the pit, gazing up at the towering Kaido with a smile.

In the distance, a group of Empire members rushed over and surrounded Third Generation Ai, keeping a cautious eye on Kaido and Jin.

"Rumble... I am Kaido! I ask you once more, do you wish to join the Beast Pirates and conquer the world with me? Become the sole emperor!"

Kaido looked at Third Generation Ai with admiration.

"No matter how many times you ask, the answer remains the same, Kaido!" Third Generation Ai replied.

"Damn it!" Kaido scowled and roared, "There must be other powerful individuals in the Empire! Bring them out! I want a good fight today! I want to see just how exceptional the Empire's warriors are, the ones who have captivated you and set their sights on the stars and other worlds!"

"You seek to challenge stronger opponents? I understand that feeling.

But... the one assigned by His Majesty to Leizhou is a bit too powerful.

Fighting him won't be much fun, so... forget it."

Third Generation Ai sighed with a complex expression.

"Hey! Are you pulling my leg? Is there really someone stronger in your world?

I came here to become the only emperor surpassing Roger.

If there's no worthy opponent, it's quite disappointing!" Kaido shouted.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kaido. You are far stronger than what they've seen," Jin said as he slowly walked up to Kaido.

"I understand. I'll invite him over right away."

Third Generation Ai nodded seriously, gazing at Kaido and Jin.

He then glanced at Darui.

The Empire's Darui raised his right hand and began operating a device on his wrist.

A line of Imperial text was edited and sent out: "Sir, we are currently at coordinates XXX, where two visitors from World 3 have appeared. One of them has dragon horns, a dragon tail, and scales, and he calls himself the Emperor of the Sea. He defeated Third Generation Ai and wishes to meet you."

"Received. I'm coming immediately."

Kaido couldn't read the text, but he could guess the function of the device and exclaimed with surprise, "Is this a device similar to the Telephonic Beetle in your world? It seems quite useful and convenient."

"Telephonic Beetle? I've heard that in your world, those giant snail-like creatures can communicate over vast distances and even project images. They are indeed a remarkable species."

Third Generation Ai explained.

"Rumble... Perhaps this is the difference between our worlds!

You need our Dominance Aura, and we need your ability to control wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth.

After I've had my fill of fighting with the other strong warriors in your world, we can form an alliance!

I can provide you with many treasures from my world."

Kaido laughed heartily.

As one of the Four Emperors who dominated the seas, Kaido was not only a formidable fighter but also more intelligent than most pirates.

He had always been adept at forming alliances, acquiring what he desired, and strengthening himself and his crew.

"Hahaha! Of course, no problem... But after you're done with that guy, I'd love to see that smile on your face again."

Third Generation Ai cackled in response.

"Rumble... So confident? He must be incredibly strong! I can't wait to see that."

Kaido's face lit up with anticipation, but his heart held little fear.

In the pirate world, Admirals and the Four Emperors stood at the pinnacle of power.

The strength gap between them and others was not significant, so even the strongest could not surpass them by much.

Even the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, could only defeat two Admirals at most.

(Chapter End)

This was almost an unprecedented feat, a record that would be hard to surpass.

Instinctively, Kaido believed that the strongest among them was probably of this caliber.

Could this be the world's limit?

"Hahaha... I believe he won't disappoint you!"

Third Generation Ai burst into laughter.

The next moment, he suddenly turned his head, looking towards the distant horizon, and his expression changed slightly.

Kaido, noticing the change in Third Generation Ai's demeanor, turned his head along with Jin.

The next instant, Kaido's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed a beam of light... Its speed was unbelievably fast.

In the previous second, it was perhaps dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away.

And in the next second, it appeared right before them.

A large hand directly covered Kaido's head, exerting a force so powerful that he couldn't resist, pressing him down, and then... His entire head was forced down, smashing into the ground below!

As his head collided with the ground, Kaido's consciousness instantly blurred...

Boom!!!!

All around, Third Generation Ai, Jin, and the other powerful individuals from Leizhou witnessed a flash of light.

Then, at Kaido's location, a terrifying explosion occurred.

A towering mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground within dozens of kilometers shattered and scattered.

Jin and all the Leizhou residents were flung far away by the impact, some as far as several kilometers, and others even further, to over ten kilometers.

Those with Shadow Rank power, the weakest among the Leizhou residents, coughed up blood and looked at the explosion's epicenter with a dejected expression, muttering:

"As expected... Ever since obtaining Dominance Aura, the once-strongest individuals in the capital have grown even stronger... Their power is becoming increasingly uncontrollable... Who knows when we'll be unlucky enough to be killed by the aftermath of such power..."

"It's truly terrifying... This is a strength that mortals can never possess."

"Rather than terrifying, I'd say we're fortunate. It's because of the existence of such powerful beings that we don't have to wander aimlessly on our path."

Many Leizhou residents spoke in this manner.

After being thrown several kilometers away, Jin dug his feet into the ground, braced himself with his hands, and stared at the explosion's epicenter, struggling to speak:

"What... What's going on? Could it be... Did these guys activate some kind of destructive weapon?

Damn it! Their previous words were just to lower my and Kaido's guard, so they could land a fatal blow at the end?

What cunning bastards!

Mr. Kaido, please, don't let anything happen to you!"

Jin prayed in his heart as he quickly approached the epicenter.

Soon, the impact dissipated.

The smoke and dust in the central area cleared in the strong wind.

A man, three meters tall, with solid muscles and wearing only a black loincloth, held Kaido, who was too weak to resist, covered in blood, and on the verge of death.

Witnessing this scene, Jin's heart trembled, and even his flight slowed down for a moment. But soon, he steadied himself and continued to approach the center.

As he drew closer, the suddenly appeared muscular man stared directly at Kaido, his eyes wide, and said:

"Is it you? The so-called Pirate King?

I heard you wanted to fight the Empire's strongmen?"

"W-w-w-what...?"

Kaido, held in the man's grasp, managed a weak laugh:

"So... this is the true strength of this world? Truly a monster among monsters... Stronger than I could ever imagine. Even Gol D. Roger would seem insignificant under this power..."

"Mr. Kaido!"

Jin shouted as he drew closer.

"Hmm? There's another one? A birdman? Or is it the power of the Animal Type Fruit?"

The muscular man turned his head to look at Jin, causing him to shudder and unconsciously take a step back.

Jin felt as if he were being stared at by a creature higher up the food chain, an instinctive fear he had never experienced before.

What kind of monster is this guy...?

"I possess the power of the Animal Type Dragon Dragon Fruit: Ancient Breed, Toothless Pterodactyl Form." Jin said.

"Don't be afraid. We mean no harm; this is just a friendly spar," the man replied with a smile.

Jin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat at his words.

No harm? Just a friendly spar? He spoke lightly.

But your sudden attack was too heavy! If it weren't for Mr. Kaido's strength as one of the Four Emperors, and instead an ordinary person, their ashes might not even be found after such a blow! And you call this a spar?
