Chapter 952: Full Power——Dragon Demon!!!
Chapter 952: Full Power——Dragon Demon!!!
On the other side, Charlotte·Big Mom was slicing away with raving, demon-like strikes.
"Viguo!"
"Viguo!"
"Heavenly Fire!"
"Earth Whirlwind!"
Slashes, thunder, flames, and howling winds—various techniques manifested in her hands as she attacked her opponent, Lucius Kro.
"Ame-no-Uzume's Light!"
Lucius Kro’s figure flickered rapidly, darting across the sky and earth while leaving trails of light. He halted at one spot, raised his hand, and fired a glowing cannon blast.
No matter how chaotic her techniques became, Lucius Kro simply countered with another beam of light.
"One move to rule them all!"
He spared a glance toward Kuro’s direction, his eyes flickering with a wisp of grave concern, though his lips curled into a pout. "Oh~ Kuro, getting serious already? How scary."
Blood qi continued to surge.
Kuro’s bared teeth sharpened into points, his face contorted by the seething blood qi, blue veins bulging grotesquely. The scene was gruesome—like a monstrous transformation poised to erupt.
His stance widened, the blood qi swirling around him, gradually solidifying into a deeper crimson aura.
The Killing Intent Domain surrounding him began to condense rapidly, rushing into Kuro’s body.
Full-Body Killing Intent Encasement!!
The contraction of the Killing Intent Domain eased the tension for the conscious onlookers nearby, finally relieving the suffocating pressure.
Yet—
Quinn was now drenched in sweat, stumbling backward in fear as he stared at Kuro, who had pulled the Killing Intent into himself.
If the earlier sensation was like a storm, this moment felt like the eerie calm before one—less overwhelming but far more terrifying.
Because the unknown scale of the impending storm was what truly instilled dread!
"What... is this?!"
Eustass Kid, who had been resting nearby while spectating, gritted his teeth, feeling his jaw tremble.
"So strong!" Luffy adjusted his hat, grinning. "Incredible strength! Soldier, what’s this now?"
"I don’t know either", Wulang the Soldier shook his head. This time, even his experience offered no answers. He’d never witnessed anything like it.
Killing Intent Encasement itself was an enigmatic concept, perhaps akin to Conqueror’s Haki Infusion, but the sheer might this full-body manifestation unleashed exceeded his understanding.
The crimson hue deepened further, and changes began to emerge on Kuro’s body. His shoulders extended into armored plates, his killing intent expanding outward to form a red armor-like layer down to his waist. The segmented armor flared at the hem, its crimson shade soon tainted jet-black, merging into a twisted sun emblem across his chest.
The black-red armor solidified on Kuro’s form.
Around its edges, blood-red sashes fluttered from his shoulders, waist, and thighs, whipping through the air with violent, tearing sounds.
Those "sashes" pulsed with immense power!
"Come!!" Kuro pointed his Yokai Blade and roared, "Kaido!!"
"Hohohohohoh!!"
Kaido erupted into wild laughter, his grin brimming with battle-lust. "So you’ve mastered it too! Impressive! Without even revealing Conqueror’s Haki or its Encasement, you’ve still achieved this form. Aptitude, Conqueror’s Haki, Haki, abilities, unarmed combat techniques—this is the ultimate culmination of all strengths. Let that old man see this too!!"
Boom!!
He stamped his foot heavily on the ground, his massive frame swelling further. The scales covering his body erupted outward, transforming him into a spiky, hedgehog-like behemoth. His dragon tail, thrashing behind, was suddenly obscured by a surge of scales, forming a massive scale-egg.
The scale-egg began shrinking, its expansion halting until it stood slightly taller than Kuro. Then, the scales violently contracted inward, solidifying into a humanoid form.
A six-horned head emerged, its twin horns resembling those of a horned dragon. Two straight horns jutted from his temples, with two coiled, curved horns spiraling overhead—a blindfolded figure.
The man’s once thunderous, wild hair vanished, replaced by a helmet of interlocking scales that molded to his face, connecting to the roots of his long dragon whiskers, its back flowing smoothly into silken hair cascading down his shoulders.
His shoulders bore armor etched with azure scale patterns, extending down his arms. His forearms were armored with backward-curved spines jutting outward, while his lower legs sported twin horned protrusions.
Even the tail behind his waist was gone—now resembling a dragon-armored demon!
Kaido?
Kuro stared, stunned at the lone dragon whisker still trailing from the figure’s face, barely recognizing the transformation.
The new figure’s height barely exceeded Kuro’s, a stark contrast to Kaido’s previous colossal frame. Lean and agile, his once bulky frame now a sleek inverted triangle. His face, once rough with wrinkles, now looked youthful, his eyes sharper, features refined.
"Hohohohohoh!!"
The figure tilted his head back, releasing his signature coarse laughter, finally reassuring Kuro.
Not a clone—this was the real one.
But—
"Zoan’s Specialized Form?!" Kuro gritted his teeth.
Their "Full Power" forms weren’t spontaneous. Some, by luck, might stumble upon them early. Luffy, for instance, had mastered Gear Fourth—a fusion of ability, strength, and Haki in this mode.
Yet Luffy’s form was half-baked. His Haki mastery and ability development were insufficient, unable to fully embody Conqueror’s Haki, let alone Full-Body Encasement. His form, though discovered early, was clumsily imitated.
But Kaido had gone too far!
Kuro understood Zoan’s shape-shifting, but shrinking from a giant to a lithe form? Turning younger?!
Was this "condensed essence"?
Yet one truth was undeniable—Kaido’s current might chilled him to the bone.
"Abilities differ. Zoan and Paramecia aren’t the same. Come, Kuro! Let’s make this long-awaited passion burn brighter!! Hohohohoh!!"
Kaido hefted his Iron Mace, grinning with sharp teeth, his gaze tyrannical. "Full Power——Dragon Demon!!!"
