Chapter 146: Devil Dragon Kaido vs. Dragon Person Devil Transformation Luode

Are you kidding? Old father-in-law, you looking for someone to fight is fine, but why are you looking for me? What did I do to offend you?

"Hahaha! Luode, cut the chatter, hurry up and attack! Let's go teach that bastard ox-headed old man a lesson together." Yamato said excitedly, a grin on her face.

"You idiot girl, your dad just got a new weapon, and ours aren't ready yet—fighting him now would put us at a disadvantage." Luode whispered in Yamato's ear.

You idiot girl, what are you thinking? After your dad gets drunk, his fighting strength is even stronger than when he's sober!

"Hehehe! Hahaha! Bastard Luode, this time it's a duel—come over here." Kaido staggered to his feet and walked straight out of the Iron Forge Fortress gate.

"If we fight, we'll destroy the whole city—please, we're on someone else's turf! Calm down a bit!" Luode said.

"Hehe! You do have a Mirror Space, right? Using this move won't harm the outside—you said that yourself, kid." Kaido said.

Hearing that, Luode narrowed his eyes at Kaido. "Old father-in-law, you don't look drunk at all! So you're really set on fighting me, huh?"

But if you insist, then bring it on! I also want to see just how strong I am now.

"Since you're interested, Father-in-law, let's give it a try!" Luode turned his head and nodded at Yamato, signaling her to relax.

He then directly activated the Mirror Space; the whole space shattered like glass, rapidly shifting, pulling Luode and Kaido into another mirror world.

"Be careful, Luode—don't hold back! Really beat that ox-headed bastard." Yamato shouted.

"Hehe! Father-in-law, you heard that." Luode said.

"Cut the chatter about the Liquor Dragon Eight Trigrams!" Kaido swung his massive spiked club with lightning speed, a flicker of crimson lightning and rage energy mixed in, aiming at Luode.

"Perfect, I also want to see how strong I am now." Luode coated his entire arm in Armament Haki, plus life energy, Conqueror's Haki, and fel power, then lunged forward to meet Kaido's spiked club.

After becoming a Wilderness Demigod, Luode's control over his body improved further; now his Conqueror's Haki can wrap around, and his Armament Haki can reach the level of the flowing cherry blossoms of Wano Country.

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki surged at full force, flowing through his body and concentrating on a single point for attack.

His mastery of life energy is similar, but the only thing lacking is probably rage energy—Luode has never studied it, after all, he has too much to learn.

Luode's fist and Kaido's spiked club never touched, yet they produced a massive ripple, and black lightning echoed throughout the space.

The Mirror Space rang with thunder; the ground beneath both of them, the space under their feet, and the sky mirror above began to crack apart.

"Not bad, kid—this is one strike of my human-beast form, and you actually managed to match me evenly." Even while they were locked in that stalemate, Kaido still found time to say.

This kid Luode has truly become much stronger—not because he trained hard, but because he received a gift of life energy, raising his life rank.

Just like an elephant can easily crush an ant even without training—though Kaido isn't an ant and Luode isn't an elephant—after the Azeroth life energy baptism, Luode has become one of the top-tier beings on this planet, surpassing mortal concepts.

"Tit for tat, Father-in-law, you haven't gone all out yet!" Luode said.

The current father-in-law isn't at his peak! He hasn't even used his Dragon Person transformation yet!

In this clash, Luode didn't lose an inch of ground.

"Come again! Great Might Blood Rage! Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!" Kaido jumped back, creating distance from Luode, then his whole body began to spin.

Covering his spiked club with life energy, fel power, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki, he unleashed an unmatched strike, ferociously smashing toward Luode.

Facing his father-in-law's ferocious attack, Luode didn't get overconfident this time.

He didn't choose to meet it head-on—joking, if he tried to block it outright, he'd be an idiot.

Luode directly opened a portal in front of himself, and, as an afterthought, another one behind Kaido.

Kaido's spiked club swung forward, but it emerged from the portal on the other side and struck his own head.

The father-in-law flew backward, landing on the Mirror Space's ground, where he performed an aerial 360-degree spin for Luode, then ended up with his feet in the air and face planted, stuck upside-down in the ground.

If I can avoid a head‑on clash, why would I force one? That move of the father‑in‑law is really strong—if I took it straight, I might get hurt.

So Luode's choice was simply to open a portal and let Kaido hit himself.

"Damn! Bastard kid, you actually used such a sneaky tactic." Kaido shook his bloody head, crawled out of the pit, and said.

Damn that portal skill—can it really be used like this? He'd thought it was only for rushing along the road.

Although his Observation Haki had just caught the scene, the attack couldn't be stopped. "Any technique must be flexibly used in battle—who told you the portal move could be used? Can't it be used to reflect attacks?" Luode chuckled and said.

Even one of Thanos's underlings was pretty shocked!

That move really messed him up—if you were a bit more ruthless, Luode, you could have seized the moment and sliced off Kaido's whole arm with a spatial gate.

But after all, he's his own father‑in‑law, so Luode didn't choose to do that.

"Damn! Kid, come again!" Kaido roared, instantly transforming into a dragon form—his body swelled wildly, turning into a massive azure‑blue dragon hovering in midair.

"Father‑in‑law, have you heard of bullying the weak with strength? When fighting me, never use your dragon form."

Luode also snorted, activating his own dragon transformation; in an instant, a colossal divine dragon over 3,600 meters long appeared before Kaido, and with a single claw he snatched the father‑in‑law away.

The father‑in‑law's current dragon size is less than half of Luode's, and there is also a suppressive dominance of dragon bloodline—Luode's bloodline strength is far greater than Kaido's, and while the father‑in‑law's ability is still a Devil Fruit, Luode has surpassed that level.

Held down by Luode, Kaido couldn't muster a shred of strength anywhere—this is a bloodline‑based suppression ability.

"Want to keep fighting? Father‑in‑law, my bloodline completely suppresses you—even your elemental attacks.

Whether it's hot breath, foul wind, lightning, or frost, none work on me—my bloodline power perfectly nullifies your abilities." Luode said.

This is the power of a Wilderness Demigod—I am the Wilderness Demigod forged from the Azeroth life origin force that was consumed the most.

Kaido's dragon form is no match for me at all.

"Damn! Kid isn't done yet!" Kaido snorted coldly, his body rapidly shrinking back to normal size,

then activated his Dragon Person transformation, even growing a pair of demon wings on his back, demon horns sprouting, and demonic fire flaring across his body—this is Kaido's current strongest Devil Dragon Man form.

Kaido waved his spiked club, using his demon wings to fly into the sky and strike at Luode.

"Holy shit, father‑in‑law, you're serious!" the dragon‑formed Luode exclaimed.

"Devil Dragon Kaido has no time for chatter—your dragon form is being suppressed by this kid's bloodline power, so you can't unleash your strength."

But Devil Dragon form—try suppressing me again.

Thunderclap Eight Trigrams, Blood Rage Eight Trigrams, Great Might's Thunderclap Eight Trigrams, Digging Thunder Eight Trigrams, Blood Thunder Eight Trigrams—all slammed into Luode's dragon form at once.

Luode wouldn't dare be so overconfident—Devil Dragon Kaido's attack would definitely injure him.

And that huge dragon form is just a big target, so Luode immediately reverted to human shape.

His whole body was covered in wounds from Devil Dragon Kaido's strikes, but emerald‑green life energy flowed over him, and Luode's injuries healed instantly.

Kaido the demon dragon man let out a cold snort, standing in place, he raised his spiked club overhead, gathering all the energy within his body—whether Haki, evil energy, life force, energy, anger, or even the power of the wild—onto his spiked club, then he struck Luode.

Seeing his father-in-law's move, Luode also activated his own dragon person transformation, even infusing evil energy into his body, activating the same demon dragon person form as Kaido.

Don't think you're the only one who can do this transformation; the evil energy power is something I gave you, and it's the signature skill of a warlock—learn about demon transformation.

However, Luode's transformation is still somewhat different from Kaido's; Luode's demonic appearance is formed from the evil energy, not a change of his own self.

He raised his demon dragon claw, wrapping Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, life force, evil energy, and the power of the wild demigod around it.

Luode went forward to meet Kaido's spiked club.

With a boom, two extremely powerful forces collided; at this moment, the entire mirror space began to tremble, even began to collapse, and shatter.

On Luode's giant dragon claw, a huge wound appeared; a strand of emerald-green life force flowed through, and the wound on the claw disappeared.

After this exchange of blows ended, Kaido stood to the side, shouldering his spiked club.

"Not bad, kid; that just now was my full-force strike."
