Chapter 82: Kaido's Strong Appearance, Luode's Pain Mage Talent

This heaven-shaking, earth-shaking dragon roar! It made everyone present stare in awe, and the powerful Conqueror's Haki began to envelop the entire scene.

Some weaker pirates or navy soldiers directly fainted, their eyes turning white.

"This guy, how did this guy come here?" said Buddha Warring States, his face extremely ugly.

Among the Four Emperors, only this guy Kaido appearing here is the most troublesome; this guy is a complete lunatic.

"No way, that dragon, what is it?"

"Yeah! That's right, that guy, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, Beasts Kaido."

"This guy, this guy! How could he appear here?"

"Ah, isn't he in the New World? Damn it, how did he get here?" At this moment, everyone present held their breath, looking at the huge dragon descending from the sky.

"Heh heh heh heh heh! Beasts Kaido actually appeared here, things are getting more interesting." Blackbeard revealed a manic laugh and said.

However, his brows furrowed deeply, beads of cold sweat trickling from his forehead—damn Beasts Kaido.

"This guy showing up now—won't he ruin my plan?" "Hey hey, Captain, about that grand performance you just mentioned, should we still go ahead with it?" said Ezhenwang.

"If we fail, we'll disband right here." said Dajiutong.

"Don't worry! The boss won't fail." Laifeite lowered his hat and said.

Beasts Kaido suddenly appeared on the battlefield, causing the two sides, which had been fiercely fighting, to fall into a stalemate.

Haixia Shenping seized the opportunity to grab the unconscious Straw Hat Lufei and then sprinted away—Beasts Kaido's appearance was incredibly timely! After he appeared, he directly drew everyone's gaze, allowing me to quickly escort Straw Hat away.

In this war now, the Straw Hat Kid can't intervene anymore; I need to hurry and get him out of here.

"Damn Straw Hat Kid, this time you got lucky." Looking at the fleeing Haixia Shenping, Chiquan gritted his teeth and said, but the key now is still to deal with Beasts Kaido!

He no longer has time to hunt down the Straw Hat Kid.

The other two admirals, Qingzhi and Huangyuan, also came to Chiquan's side, both with solemn expressions looking at the descending Kaido.

"Are you okay? You just fought Whitebeard and consumed a lot." Qingzhi glanced at Chiquan beside him and asked.

"Geez, it's terrifying! Beasts Kaido actually came over, and now I have to face two of the Four Emperors at once!" said Huangyuan.

"I need some time to recover; my condition really isn't good right now." said Chiquan.

When he fought Whitebeard earlier, he already sustained quite a few injuries—his Haki and stamina aren't at their best. Facing Beasts Kaido now is really a huge hassle; I hope that old hero, or the other two admirals, can lend a bit more strength!

In this whole war, we can't let me fight alone!

After a huge cloud of smoke, Beasts Kaido, accompanied by Luode and Xierwanasi, appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"Those two guys! Are they new recruits of the Beasts Pirates? They look quite young."

"I don't know; it seems they haven't been given bounties."

"That woman is quite pretty! And her dark purple skin—what unknown race is she?"

Looking at Luode and Xierwanasi appearing beside Beasts Kaido, everyone whispered among themselves.

After all, those standing here now are the ones who just withstood Kaido's Conqueror's Haki; at the very least, they are pirates with bounties over a hundred million or navy officers of the rank of colonel or higher from headquarters.

"Luoluo! Hahaha! Whitebeard old man, I've personally come to take your life!" said Beasts Kaido.

"Kukuku! Little Beasts brat, are you trying to take advantage?" Whitebeard said, leaning on his weapon, panting.

His condition has deteriorated to the extreme; he's been directly struck with two bloody holes frontally, and his Haki is almost completely depleted.

Now he can barely fight with just a sliver of consciousness; facing Beasts Kaido, let alone killing Blackbeard and starting this traitor, even being able to block one of his attacks is a question.

"Whitebeard, it's a real shame for a guy like you to die like this. Don't worry—I won't let you die worthless. I'll kill you and then grant you rebirth." said Beasts Kaido.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a bit bewildered—"I'll kill you and give you rebirth, can't let you die worthless—what does this mean?" "Heh heh heh! Beasts Kaido, if you want to take Whitebeard's life, we can team up; the fame from taking his head would be yours, but his corpse would be mine—how about that?" said Blackbeard.

"Hmph! You're Blackbeard, right? Later I have something I need your help with—but I want Whitebeard's life, and I want his corpse too." said Kaido.

"Damn! You don't even put our Blackbeard Pirates in your eyes? Take this strongest elbow strike!" The Blackbeard Pirates' martial arts champion Bajiesi roared and charged at Beasts Kaido. Only a bang was heard—Kaido stood still, didn't move, didn't even take any defensive measures, and just took the blow head-on.

"Is that your attack? It's no different from a kid scratching an itch! Get lost!" Kaido roared, brandishing his spiked club, and with one strike sent the martial arts champion Bajiesi flying.

Bajiesi instantly became like a kite with its string cut, spinning 360 degrees consecutively in the air, then slammed hard into the Navy Headquarters' giant sign, losing consciousness entirely.

That strike just now, Kaido didn't even use force—it was just a casual blow; otherwise, the opponent would have turned into a pile of mush.

"Dark Hole!" Blackbeard Diqi's palm emitted a thick black mist.

"Pain Curse, Corrosion Technique, Pain Impermanence, Ghostly Entanglement, Misfortune Curse." Luode gave a cold snort, directly hurling a Pain Curse at Blackbeard, then followed with a series of dark energy strikes.

This time I'll properly play the role of a pain mage! Pain and such, for Blackbeard whose damage is doubled, is the most disgusting ability.

"Ah! It hurts so much! What did you do to me? Is it your Devil Fruit ability?" Blackbeard jerked backward, looking at Luode with apprehension.

At that instant, his body suddenly felt excruciating pain, as if being corroded by something, and vaguely he seemed to see some strange ghostly apparitions; fortunately, he blocked them with his strong Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

"Not over yet! Sacrifice! Weakness Curse!" Luode's next spell came right after.

Suddenly, Blackbeard's body erupted in crimson flames.

Nobody saw exactly how Luode attacked, why Blackbeard inexplicably caught fire? "Is it some strange Devil Fruit ability? Or is it that our captain's ability can nullify any Devil Fruit ability?" Ezhenwang complained dissatisfiedly.

"Let's see how our captain performs; hope we don't disappoint him!" said Xiliu of the Rain.

"Damn!" Blackbeard's palm burst forth a black vortex, then completely absorbed Luode's flames.

But he still felt his whole body weak; this guy's Devil Fruit ability is really troublesome.

"Hmph! Pain Disaster, Shadow Embrace, Evil Curse, Dark Soul." Luode, holding his staff, continuously unleashed various skills at Blackbeard.

These pain mage skills were learned by following his mentor Telesen during this period.

Although the opponent is a destruction-talent mage, that doesn't mean he lacks pain-system skills.

Moreover, there's a top-tier tank standing beside me! I'm not afraid of close combat—I'll unleash a full-output barrage.

"Damn brat, what the hell is this ability of yours?"

At this moment, Blackbeard's body was stained with unknown green and black energy; although he used the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit to try to eliminate it, the effect was minimal.

"Not bad, kid." Kaido nodded and said.

Xierwanasi took down her bow, stood beside Luode, letting her man cast spells in peace.

Luode stood in place, holding his magic staff, constantly rubbing various magics, frantically throwing them at Heihuzi.

The Dark-Dark Fruit can indeed eliminate some physical or elemental rational damage, but for some cursive and corrosive damage, there's nothing you can do.

If one uses Hell Flames to burn away Sacrifice and such skills, then Heihuzi still has a way to remove them.

But if one uses Suffering Impermanence, Suffering Technique, and Eternal Corrosion Technique, the Devil Fruit's ability cannot eliminate them.

At this very moment, the flesh on Heihuzi's body even began to rot, and the terrified Heihuzi quickly used Armament Haki to protect his body, turning into a black person shining with metallic luster.

"Then let's try this! Life Drain." Luode spread his hands, activating the story's signature skill, Life Drain, on Heihuzi, absorbing its life force.

A green beam of light was sucked out of Heihuzi's body by Luode, and Heihuzi instantly felt extremely weak, as if his whole body had been drained, utterly powerless.

"Ah! What are you doing to me, you guy? Stop, please stop!"

"I am a Cursed Person who ate the Cursed Fruit, Heihuzi—you have been cursed by me, Fear Technique!" Luode said.

I cannot reveal that I ate the Azure Dragon Fruit; from now on, I am a Cursed Person who ate the Cursed Fruit.

"Ah!" Heihuzi let out a fierce shout, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki, breaking free from Luode's Life Drain bind.

In an instant, he opened the distance, returned to his companions, and gazed at Luode with vigilance.
