Chapter 226: Teacher Kaido

The next day, G-10 Base.

After a day and a night of fighting, the base headquarters had become fragmented; calling it a ruin would not be an exaggeration. Basically, there was no intact place left.

Gion was resting on the side, but her attention was entirely on Kaido and Karl. If any situation arose, she would intervene.

At this moment, Karl was still in good condition, though his clothes were a bit tattered. It couldn't be helped; after all, Karl had lost count of how many times he had been hit by Kaido's club, so it was normal for his clothes to be torn.

As for Kaido... he was full of spirit, even though he still had several wounds on his body that hadn't had time to heal.

"Kaido, do you want to keep fighting? The Navy's reinforcements will be here soon!"

Kaido said with an impatient look: "Let them come. Do you think I'm afraid of the Navy?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Akainu will be very happy to hear that. Don't run away later!"

Kaido was stunned. Garp? Akainu? Were they that fierce? But then he thought, what was he afraid of? At worst, he'd just get captured. What a big deal!

"I am the Hundred Beasts Kaido!!!"

An invisible aura erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire G-10 base. This was the first time Kaido had used Conqueror's Haki to intimidate during his fight with Karl, used to display his kingly aura.

"Descending Three Worlds: Ragnarok!"

Kaido leaped into the air, spinning as he jumped. Whether he closed his eyes or not, who knew, but his iron club was already wrapped in black lightning as he smashed it toward Karl's head.

Thump-thump~ Thump-thump...

Karl's heart beat wildly, and the surrounding air felt as if it had been sucked away, making it suffocating.

Was this the power of a hegemon of the sea? Was this Conqueror's Haki?

Dodge? No, he didn't want to dodge. So what if it was Conqueror's Haki? So what if it was the aptitude of a king?

"Ding~ Detected that the host's will has reached S-rank. About to awaken Conqueror's Haki..."

Boom~

A loud explosion echoed in Karl's mind, and a feeling he had never experienced before surged through his body, as if something was about to come out!

Crack, crack, crack~

An aura just as astonishing as Kaido's erupted from Karl's body. A flash of shock crossed Kaido's eyes. Conqueror's Haki?

A Navy Vice Admiral could actually awaken Conqueror's Haki? What kind of aptitude was this? What would happen if he became an Admiral?

Well, it wasn't that big of a deal. Didn't Sengoku have Conqueror's Haki? Wasn't the Navy still the same?

But witnessing Karl awaken it right in front of him, this feeling... was a bit complicated, and also strangely familiar.

Once upon a time, his daughter Yamato had displayed the aptitude of a conqueror after being beaten by him, all while shouting that she wanted to become Kozuki Oden.

This Navy officer could not be left alive!

Thinking of this, Kaido couldn't help but increase his strength, as if he wanted to kill Karl with a single strike.

The next moment, a red light flashed in Karl's eyes, and Autumn Water and Lei Yu slashed out instantly, blocking the incoming club.

Bang!!!

A shockwave erupted, and black and red lightning began to dance around the two of them.

"Oaaahhhhh!!!"

Karl grinned, his left hand suddenly exerting force, using Autumn Water to deflect Kaido's club to the left. Kaido took the opportunity to get closer to Karl, but don't forget, Karl was still holding Lei Yu in his right hand.

Thank you, Teacher Kaido!

Sss~

Without the slightest resistance, Lei Yu pierced into Kaido's abdomen, as smooth as if it had been greased.

Kaido was stunned, looking down at the reddened blade in his abdomen, unable to speak for a long time.

"Kaido, thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I have awakened Conqueror's Haki?"

Kaido swallowed, just about to say something, but the next second, a sharp pain came from his abdomen.

Ahhhhh!

It turned out that Karl had taken advantage of the moment he was speaking to rotate Lei Yu, blade facing upward, and then Karl used all his strength to pull the blade upward and turn, tearing through Kaido's abdomen and chest.

Blood rained down, dyeing Karl red.

Kaido clutched his abdominal wound and retreated several steps, his face showing pain.

"Ah, so painful! You bastard, I'll definitely..."

"Dog Bite Red Lotus!"

Before Kaido could finish his sentence, his entire body was sent flying by a magma dog head. The scalding magma made Kaido howl, and he kept rolling on the ground.

Akainu didn't press the attack, but instead looked down at Karl: "Well done."

Karl gave a bitter smile: "Thank you, Admiral Akainu. This Kaido is too hard to deal with. Are you the only one?"

Akainu shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, I didn't see anyone else. From here on, leave it to me!"

Karl nodded, condensed golden Holy Light, and merged it into Akainu's body: "Then I'll trouble you, Admiral Akainu."

Akainu didn't speak, only elementalizing his right hand into magma, and the surrounding air began to become abnormally scorching.

Kaido soon clashed with Akainu as well. The wounds Karl had worked so hard to inflict had already healed seventy to eighty percent.

It was truly infuriating!

However, taking this opportunity, Karl could also take a good look at his attributes.

Finally, he was also a man who possessed Conqueror's Haki, successfully reaching the "average" level of the Pirate King's World. From now on, he could go out with his head held high and never be afraid of losing face again.

However, the current level of Conqueror's Haki was too low, and it was useless for anything other than clearing out small fries, but having it was better than not having it. ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
