Giotto's fist solidly smashed Kaido's metal club, sending out shockwaves that cracked the ground.
"Dying Will Armament: Bone Crusher!"
While the two were in a deadlock, an immense force was concentrated on Giotto's fist. Although it wasn't as strong as the X-Burner, it was not to be underestimated.
This punch actually pushed back Kaido's huge body, fiercely smashing him into a boulder behind him.
The boulder instantly shattered, and Kaido's eyes became even more serious than before: "It seems that you have grown to some extent in these few years, Vongola kid."
It was obvious that Giotto had the upper hand right off the bat. After he finished his previous mission, his Color of Arms Haki was upgraded to an Advanced-level. Be it Hardening, Imbuement, or Emission, all of it became more powerful.
However, he still couldn't figure out how to use Internal Destruction like Rayleigh. Otherwise, it would be more convenient to deal with Kaido. However, being able to send Kaido flying with such a punch alone was already beyond surprising.
King himself was stunned. This was the first time he saw his Governor General getting pushed back in the contest of pure strength.
"Kaido, if that's all you got after these few years, it would be too disappointing. Show me your true ability!"
Giotto said with calm eyes as he looked at the figure that was much taller than him.
Kaido twisted his neck, and then his eyes slowly turned cold, "Vongola brat, since you want to die so badly, I will do as you wish!"
Killing intent was reflected in his eyes as terrifying power slowly oozed out of his body. An extremely terrifying aura swept out like a storm, instantly covering the surroundings.
Color of Supreme King Haki also erupted at the same time. It was fortunate that they were only ones around. Otherwise, countless people would've been knocked out.
Shortly after, Kaido's body began to transform. His most suitable form for battle, the Human-Beast form that enhanced all of his abilities, was revealed in front of Giotto at this moment.
In the past few years, his strength had also increased rapidly. Originally, Kaido should not have improved so quickly. Because in the manga, he couldn't find any worthy opponent after he defeated Kozuki Oden.
Without a worthy opponent, he felt no pressure to become stronger.
However, it was different now. His mindset had changed following his defeat. With sufficient training, a battle genius like him could reach another level.
"Now, try to block this one, Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!"
A powerful aura soared into the sky. Kaido's eyes were cold. He did not give Giotto any time to react. He covered his metal club with his Color of Arms Haki before rushing at Giotto with lightning speed.
Thunderclap Eight Trigrams once again hit Giotto, but unlike last time, it was at least several times stronger!
"Clank! Clank! Clank!"
The ground was shattered by the impact of Kaido's move. Even Giotto was shocked upon witnessing such destructive power.
No wonder this guy could become a Four Emperor in the future. In addition to his abnormally tough physique, he also possessed terrifying destructive power!
"Then check this out!"
The Sky Flame was set ablaze, and Giotto raised his cloak to block the incoming attack. He covered the cloak with both Color of Arms Haki and Sky Flame at the same time as he waited for the incoming attack.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound echoed, followed by a powerful shockwave that covered the surroundings, riddling the ground with holes.
No one knew what was going on as dust covered Kaido and Giotto's figure, but they could at least predict the outcome.
King did not think that Giotto could block his Governor-General's attack. After all, the attack just now was too powerful, and Giotto only used a cloak to defend himself, a fragile-looking cloak, too. How could that thing block Thunderclap Eight Trigrams?
However, Ugetsu Asari had a completely different opinion because he knew very well what Giotto's cloak represented!
It represented the sky that enveloped everything and accepted everything!
Ugetsu Asari believed that Giotto's cloak could harmonize with Kaido's Color of Arms Haki and dark lightning, so what Giotto needed to block was only Kaido's pure strength.
This was why he enveloped his cloak with Color of Arms Haki. So, Kaido basically attacked Giotto, who was clad in Advanced-level Color of Arms Haki with pure strength!
It was clear who came out on top!
At this time, Giotto hovered in the air with the help of Dying Will Flame's propelling force. Looking down at Kaido, who was gradually appearing from the dust as he said coldly, "It is indeed very strong, but if you think you can defeat me...Heh, Kaido, you must be dreaming!"
As soon as he finished his words, Giotto rushed out at lightning speed toward Kaido. But then again, did Kaido really have a weakness?
Seeing that Giotto rushed toward him, Kaido's eyes grew even colder. He didn't back off at all. He used both his metal club and his hand to exchange blows with Giotto.
"Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!"
The exchange between them caused a devastating impact.
Both Giotto and Kaido's attacks were extremely fierce because they acknowledged their opponent's strength. In this kind of situation, if they were distracted, they would immediately lose the momentum to their opponent!
Had it not for the fact that Ugetsu Asari was pressuring him, King would have helped Kaido!
