Chapter 44: We'll fight one-on-one; you all will gang up on Kaido

At this moment, Jianna could only barely stand, supporting herself with both hands on her staff. Damn it, what kind of attack is this? Why? Why can't I defend against it at all?

This feels like mental oppression, yet also like an instinctive bodily fear.

This pressure, as tangible as substance, can be matched by some warriors' shouts and roars, but it is far less intense in its oppressive feeling, and its range of influence is so vast.

Luode stood aside, showing a faint sneer, jokingly saying that even Lufei's level of Conqueror's Haki could affect nearly 100,000 people and instantly kill 50,000.

What's more, this is the Haki of a Four Emperors-level Kaido; among the characters currently appearing in the pirate world, the strongest Conqueror's Haki should belong to Red-Haired Shanks.

Next up are the Four Emperors.

"Hahaha! How can this not work? This city seems to have no experts worthy of a fight with me!" Kaido said.

"No! Luode, you, you actually tricked me. You said you came here to go to war with the tribe, you madman." Jianna barely lifted her head and spoke.

"No no no, Miss Jianna, don't misunderstand anything. I have no intention of going to war with the tribe; it's just that my father-in-law wants to find someone from the tribe to duel." Luode said.

"That's right, they're all ganging up on me one-on-one, hahaha!" Kaido let out an insane laugh, looking toward the few figures walking out of the city.

These are several tall green monsters, with two tusks revealing muscles that are solid and strong to the extreme. The leader has green skin, wields a massive war hammer, and wears black-gold armor.

The others are all orc warriors wielding huge double-bladed battle axes and wearing armor.

"Jianna, what's going on? Are you alright?" Sa'er said upon seeing Jianna barely standing, hands propped on her staff beside him.

"I, I'm sorry, Sa'er. These people clearly promised not to come and go to war with the tribe; they just wanted to learn the warrior's path."

"Great Chieftain, don't be fooled by this woman. She's done this more than once; last time it was her father, this time she brought people." An orc general beside Sa'er said.

"We have no intention of going to war with the tribe; it's just that my father-in-law hopes to find an immensely powerful opponent to fight."

"Moreover, it would be best if they were experts in close combat; the most suitable would be your orc tribe." Luode said.

"If you want war, the orc tribe will accompany you to the end, Luaoga. Blood and thunder, strength and glory." Salufa'er Great King roared, raising his battle axe.

Geluomashi Hell Cry died in battle, his brother Buluokes went missing, and now he is the strongest warrior of the entire tribe, also taking on the duty of protecting the Great Chieftain.

"If it's just a friendly spar, why did you attack the civilians in the city? You've assaulted all of Orgrimmar; are you declaring war on the orc tribe?" Sa'er said.

"Don't worry! Everyone in Orgrimmar just fainted; it's only because they're too weak to stand against Kaido's Conqueror's Haki." Luode said.

"What is Conqueror's Haki? Is that the means he just used to attack?" Jianna standing aside asked.

"Conqueror's Haki, as the name suggests, is the aura of a hegemon, the qi of a king; among hundreds of thousands of people, only one will possess such a powerful presence, possessing the innate quality of a king." Luode said. It must be said, the setting of Conqueror's Haki is truly awesome, and explaining it also gives a sense of overbearing power.

Or perhaps it's because the design from Japanese comics is hot-blooded enough.

"How come I've never heard of this? King Wrynn, King Theran, or even my father have this kind of thing." Jianna asked.

She even wanted to ask why Arthas doesn't have this? She is that prince's ex-girlfriend! She dares to guarantee that Arthas absolutely does not have this, not even after becoming the Lich King.

She's pursued two princes before! She's seen plenty of kings; do kings possess this kind of power? What international joke is this? And kings! Is this person beside her a remnant of some human kingdom's royal bloodline?

"Hahaha! Lady Proudmoore, this is my secret. The king I speak of is probably not quite the same as the king you understand." Luode said, simultaneously using his Conqueror's Haki to offset part of Kaido's pressure, then helping Jianna to her feet.

With Luode's support, Jianna instantly felt that the pressure just exerted on her had completely disappeared.

"You! You! You also possess this power." Jianna asked in astonishment.

Could there be a mistake? The possessors of this power are actually more than one.

This power is truly too lethal against low-level troops; a sea of tactics has absolutely no effect against such fellows! The orc population of Orgrimmar is roughly three hundred thousand, yet nine-tenths were knocked down by this move.

"Hahaha! Let you see my joke; I'm not talented, but I also possess the quality of a king. One trait of Conqueror's Haki is that the weak, before a king, don't even have the right to stand." Luode said.

If it weren't for awakening Conqueror's Haki, Kaido wouldn't have wanted to follow me; in the pirate world, if you want to win over a bunch of subordinates, Conqueror's Haki is the best tool.

"You! You bastard!" Upon hearing this, Jianna obviously felt her teeth itch with anger.

"Kaido boss is about to go berserk, Luode; we'd better stay far away." Runti said from the side.

At this moment, Kaido is clearly in an extremely excited state; this state of Kaido boss is terribly frightening.

"Let's keep our distance! Lady Proudmoore, this place will probably become very dangerous soon." Luode was just about to pick up a human female mage and leave, but someone was faster.

Yamato directly hoisted Jianna onto his shoulder, then flashed and jumped away, leaving Luode with an outstretched hand, somewhat awkward.

Damn, this little girl actually got jealous.

"Hurry up and leave!" Runti said and also left the battlefield.

Luode shook his head, followed along and jumped up to the distant mountaintop; it seems Kaido intends to learn the warrior's way by the most primitive means—that is, combat.

At this moment, Kaido's physique is undergoing an astonishing change, recovering from a height of over two meters to a gigantic size of over seven meters.
