Chapter 64

"Kaido, you've really grown some skills, brat! To think you could turn into such a giant loach!"

In his Azure Dragon form, Kaido was terrifying. With a casual flick of his dragon body, the sea of clouds churned violently.

Kaido’s dragon jaws opened and closed, and every word he spoke unleashed a powerful gust of air.

"I haven't been the same person I was back then for a long time! But you, on the other hand, have become more and more pathetic. You’ve lost both your legs, and you’ve got a ship’s helm stuck in your head. Are you trying to be a rooster, Shiki?"

The Golden Lion was enraged by these words, his voice dripping with murderous intent:

"Kaido, it seems you’ve forgotten the taste of the lesson I taught you back then!"

"Then I’ll just have to make you remember!"

"Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley!"

The Golden Lion swung his legs, wielding Oto and Kogarashi, unleashing several massive golden slashes!

Kaido roared: "Who are you looking down on! Destructive Wind!!"

His dragon maw opened wide, and a barrage of giant, sickle-like wind blades shot out...

The Golden Lion and Kaido, two of the world's top powerhouses with old grudges and new grievances, began their battle in earnest after only a few words.

Every attack they unleashed was a massive, earth-shaking area-of-effect strike!

As the wind blades and slashes collided, the dark clouds in the sky were torn to shreds.

Several wind blades fell onto the floating island, instantly slicing several of the Golden Lion's subordinates in two.

Seeing this, the Golden Lion’s expression turned grim.

The Beasts Kaido was truly no longer the little brat he could easily manipulate back then!

"Indigo, take the beasts and land on Wano Country. Go seize the Monster Cells and Senzu Beans. I’ll deal with Kaido myself!"

Although Indigo had been strongly opposed to attacking Wano Country, he had no way out now and had to agree.

And so.

The members of the Flying Pirate Crew, along with the hundreds of beasts that had consumed IQ, descended upon the borders of Wano Country.

Following Luo Xing’s orders, King had already led the Beast Pirates' warriors to stand ready.

Not long after, Queen and Jack arrived, carrying a large stockpile of weapons.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

King gave the order, taking the initiative to attack.

It was a joke to think their Beast Pirates would just sit back and take a beating.

Not to mention, the warriors he brought had all consumed Artificial Devil Fruits and Monster Cells; each one’s strength was no less than that of the original Flying Six!

"Heh." Queen chuckled sinisterly, firing off a type of mummy virus. "Die in agony. I love hearing screams the most."

The Beast Pirates vs. the Flying Pirate Crew!

The war broke out in an instant.

Without any surprise, the Beast Pirates crushed the Flying Pirate Crew in a landslide victory.

Those so-called beasts that had consumed IQ were nothing but fodder for the true beasts—the Zoan ability users enhanced by Monster Cells!

Indigo watched, dumbfounded, his entire body turning cold.

He knew the Flying Pirate Crew’s forces would be inferior to the Beast Pirates, but he never expected the gap to be this massive!

They weren't even on the same level!

"Wororororo! Golden Lion, you’ve really gone downhill. You dare to come attack me with subordinates like these?"

Seeing the situation below, Kaido couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh, mocking the Golden Lion relentlessly.

The Golden Lion’s face flushed red.

He hadn't expected this situation either.

The IQ he had spent so many years researching was proving to be nothing but trash in front of the Beast Pirates!

"It must be because of the Monster Cells."

The Golden Lion thought for a moment and said:

"Your subordinates have all consumed Monster Cells, and their original Devil Fruit abilities have been enhanced, which is why they have this kind of strength!"

Kaido sneered: "It seems your brain wasn't completely ruined by that ship's helm."

"You arrogant brat, once I kill you, I’ll seize all your Monster Cells!"

The Golden Lion was furious. He spread his arms and roared:

"Lion Threat: Earth Roll!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The earth on the floating island spiraled into the air, transforming into dozens of lions, each tens of meters tall, which viciously lunged at the Azure Dragon.

Seeing this, Kaido coiled his Azure Dragon body.

"Tornado!"

The Azure Dragon spun like a top, creating a violent tornado that blotted out the sky, flinging the charging lions away.

"Such a grand display of power; it truly is a battle between the world's top powerhouses."

Luo Xing, accompanied by Yamato, had already arrived.

Luo Xing’s eyes flickered; he wanted to know how much of a gap remained between himself and the highest combat power on the seas.

Just then.

The Golden Lion’s gaze suddenly swept toward him.

His eyes rolled, and without a word, he charged straight at Luo Xing!

67. Luo Xing’s Strongest Sword Technique, Purgatory: Asura! The Golden Lion’s Recognition (Seeking First Subscriptions)

The Golden Lion’s main purpose in attacking Wano Country was to seize the Monster Cells and Senzu Beans.

He wasn't really looking to settle a score with Kaido.

And after trading a few blows with Kaido, the Golden Lion realized that Kaido was indeed no longer the little brat he once was.

If he wanted to thoroughly defeat Kaido, it would take at least days and nights of fighting.

How could the Golden Lion have that much time?

The subordinates and beasts he brought were no match for the Beast Pirates at all.

In a short time, they had already suffered nearly half casualties.

If this dragged on for another moment, they would likely all be wiped out.

By then, with the rest of the Beast Pirates helping Kaido, the Golden Lion would have no choice but to retreat.

Therefore,

Even though the Golden Lion still looked arrogant on the surface, he was actually feeling quite anxious inside.

Just then, he saw a man and a woman walking through the air toward them.

Although the Golden Lion didn't recognize Luo Xing and Yamato, he had done some intelligence work before coming.

He knew Kaido had a daughter, and that the heaven-defying Monster Cells and Senzu Beans were invented by Kaido’s son-in-law, a young man named Luo Xing.

The Golden Lion immediately determined that the young couple approaching was Kaido’s daughter and son-in-law!

The Golden Lion was overjoyed.

He had been worrying about what to do, and now his most important target, Luo Xing, had delivered himself to his doorstep!

If he kidnapped this inventor, would he ever have to worry about running out of Monster Cells and Senzu Beans?

This was the reason the Golden Lion charged at Luo Xing without hesitation.

After Kaido shattered the Lion Threat: Earth Roll with his Tornado, he saw the Golden Lion’s move and was immediately filled with shock and rage!

In the current Beast Pirates, if you asked who was most important to Kaido, it was undoubtedly his son-in-law, Luo Xing!

Even King, and even his daughter Yamato, had to rank behind Luo Xing.

Kaido absolutely could not tolerate anyone harming Luo Xing!

Roar, roar, roar!!

A massive dragon roar echoed across the sky.

Kaido went berserk, using a Dragon Tail Whip, his massive Azure Dragon tail sweeping toward the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion couldn't dodge in time and was swept away by the dragon tail.

But he wasn't angry; instead, he started to laugh.

"Kehehehe, Kaido, you’re so impatient. It seems that young man really is your son-in-law, Luo Xing, the one who invented the Monster Cells and Senzu Beans!"

Kaido’s dragon eyes were filled with fury as he shouted:

"Shiki, are you too afraid to fight me fair and square?"
