"Kaido! What are you doing?" Big Mom's scream shattered the eerie silence that hung over the battlefield.
No one anticipated that the two Yonko hadn't attacked Buggy yet. On the Buggy Pirates' front, the Boa took the bold step of attacking the Yonko herself. She wasn't taking Kaido seriously at all!
The Pirate Empress lived up to her reputation! After Big Mom's jaw-dropping scream, everyone was left utterly stunned.
"Pfft, hahaha! That Kaido got kicked down! Floating in the sky like a snake balloon just waiting to be smacked down. Gahaha!"
"Garp behave yourself! You haven't retired yet?"
"Sorry, I couldn't resist!"
"That's seriously intimidating! The Pirate Empress taking on the Yonko alone?"
"Can Buggy even have a woman like her in his crew now? This is insane!"
"Hahaha, Kaido is in for some embarrassment this time, kicked down from the air like a rookie. That kick packed a punch. Kaido's tough, but that woman shattered his defense!"
"Yeah, but it's just breaking the defense. Hancock hasn't mastered the conqueror's haki yet. It's lacking."
While the world's top powerhouses banter with each other. The Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates on Onigashima Island couldn't contain their shock and disbelief.
"Boss got kicked down!"
"That woman's legs are quite terrifying! Boss's face got petrified on the right side!"
"Damn, didn't she go all out just now? How can a woman of this caliber exist?!"
"Could it be time for the Yonko's clash to begin?"
Almost everyone seemed to think so.
With Hancock out of the picture with that last attack. Did this signal the imminent start of the War of the Three Emperors?
But right at that moment, Hancock, who had landed on the back of Seraphim Snake. Lokked at Buggy in the distant sky while turning with one hand on her hip and said with a slight smile, "Buggy, could you stay out of this? I want to test the gap between me and the Yonko!"
"Plus, I'm eager to see if I can master the Conqueror's Haki to the world's top powerhouse level you mentioned! 'Conqueror's Infusion,' I haven't mastered it yet!"
As Hancock uttered these words, the audience erupted in astonishment.
This woman dares to challenge Kaido alone. The most powerful creature in the world—something that sends shivers down people's spines just at the mere thought of it!
She wants to use this monstrous being as a gauge for her strength. So, you're using Kaido, the mightiest creature, as a sparring partner? Mad!
It's safe to say Hancock is the first woman worldwide to openly admit using the Yonko as a whetstone!
Isn't she afraid of death? Oh, there's a dangerous guy behind her! It's fine.
Others dared not utter a word, but high up in the distant sky, Big Mom was already fuming. "Don't be so reckless, little girl; do you think Kaido is alone fighting this war? The majesty of Yonko cannot be defiled! Since you're eager to meet your end, let me end you. Zeus Thunderbolt!"
As Big Mom ceased speaking. A purple thunderbolt descended from the sky. She gripped it and threw it. It came crashing down on Hancock.
While Buggy's legs bent and flicked, causing a breathtaking sonic boom in the sky. Then, a massive airwave surged, shaking the giant forest below.
Buggy materialized above Hancock in the blink of an eye. He raised his right hand to intercept the descending thunder.
"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Ikazuchi!"
As Buggy spoke, the formidable Zeus Thunderbolt had only fallen halfway before being crushed into countless purple stars and beams of light, hovering in the air. Accompanying it was the sky adorned with crushed clouds!
At that moment, it seemed as though someone had punctured the sky, allowing golden sunlight to once again blanket the world.
Buggy basked in the sunlight streaming from the sun. His white cloak fluttered, one hand in his pocket, the other stroking the hair on his forehead. He looked at Hancock in the distance with a grin, "With me around, you can fight Kaido as much as you want!"
"Thank you."
Hancock smiled softly at the words, instantly casting a shadow over the world.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
Immediately afterward, Snake vibrated her wings and flew directly toward the peak of the Ongashima.
Witnessing this sight, Buggy couldn't help but smile. He had anticipated that Hancock and little Hancock might grow closer after their first meeting. But she didn't expect them to bond so quickly.
Especially when Hancock learned that Snake was her clone. She didn't express any repulsion. Instead, she wore a genuinely concerned expression.
During the two days on the Thriller Bark with Hancock, they practically stuck together. Hancock held affection and compassion for her little look-alike. While Snake adored and admired Hancock's strength.
After all, it's only natural for two kindred spirits to be drawn to each other.
"Buggy! Do you have any idea what you're doing?"
Observing Buggy's actions, Big Mom in the sky immediately exclaimed angrily, "That woman is defiling the majesty of Yonko! The leader of mere Kuja pirates is behaving so recklessly. What will become of the Yonko's prestige?"
"Ah!"
Buggy couldn't help but scoff at this. He looked at Aunt and retorted, "Charlotte Linlin, have you been in this position for so long that you've forgotten how you got there?"
"Or perhaps it's been too long and you've been praised by countless people? Have you forgotten that the so-called "Yonko" was a façade you created yourself? Since when did the Majesty of the Yonkos need such things to sustain them? Indeed, sitting on the emperor's throne for too long can cloud one's judgment!"
"What! Buggy What a silver tongue!" Big Mom was so infuriated by Buggy's words that her Conqueror's Haki emanated in fury.
Buggy didn't show any sign of weakness; he, too, unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. Conqueror's Haki, accompanied by golden lightning, clashed in the sky with Big Mom's red and black Conqueror's Haki.
Then, to the astonishment of onlookers, Big Mom's red Conqueror's Haki was overwhelmed by Buggy's platinum-coloured Conqueror's Haki!
Observing this spectacle, everyone in Wano gasped.
"Mom's Conqueror's Haki was overpowered! How is that possible?"
"On these seas, aside from that guy with the red hair, is there anyone else who can wield such potent Conqueror's Haki?"
"Godslayer, Buggy's true strength is truly concealed!"
Not only were the pirates of Wano astonished, but even Big Mom found the situation surprising.
She stared at Buggy in disbelief and remarked, "Buggy, have you all mastered Conqueror Haki to this extent?"
Upon finishing her words, Big Mom burst into laughter, "Mamama. No wonder you dare to challenge me and Kaido, two of the Four Emperors!"
"But if this is your confidence then it's not enough."
Buggy shrugged and responded,
"Don't forget, you're on your own now!
"Do you want to initiate a battle between us right now?"
"Mamama!"
Big Mom grew momentarily infuriated and retorted. After witnessing the live broadcast of the last Battle of Punk Hazard, she genuinely doubted her ability to defeat Buggy alone.
It's worth noting that the man before her was the one who subdued Kaido and then defeated Sengoku when faced with both Kaido and Sengoku!
Currently, Kaido hadn't decided to intervene and she wouldn't act recklessly. Although she displayed some stubbornness at home regularly. This old woman was only like that at home. If she was truly stupid, she wouldn't have become one of the Four Emperors.
"Mamama."
As if recalling something amusing, Big Mom laughed again, gazing at Buggy, and remarked, "Since you want to witness your little girlfriend face off against Kaido, go ahead! I happen to be in the mood for a show."
Big Mom assured.
"Don't worry; with me around, that kind of scenario won't occur." Buggy chuckled, crossed his arms, and observed the situation on Onigashima. As Hancock descended from the Snake, Kaido also rose from the pile of rocks. He wiped his right cheek amidst the smoke and took a deep breath.
"It hurts, it hurts! That kick just now was genuinely merciless. The Pirate Queen, huh? Are you tired of living? Want to use me to train your conqueror's Haki?"
"Fun! I haven't seen such a crazy individual in a long time! Worororo!"
Kaido rubbed his face, stepped out of the smoke, and even chuckled as he spoke. Simultaneously, he lifted the mace with his right hand, abruptly turned towards Hancock in the distance, and sneered, "Little girl, you don't know your place since you're seeking death but I will grant your wish!"
"Gundari Ryuseigun!"
As Kaido raised the mace, the sky filled with wind and clouds and then a thunderbolt descended onto the mace.
Blue Thunder combined with Black Lightning! Was this move employing the overpowering "Gundari Ryuseigun"?
Buggy in the sky suddenly perked up.
"Teacher Kaido's class is open! Then it's up to you, Hancock. Let's see if it's you can do it or Luffy was a special case!"
"Is this Conqueror's infusion? What a strong sense of oppression!"
Hancock in the distance looked extremely dignified but she had no intention of shrinking back.
In the next second, the queen's figure spun rapidly on the spot. A burst of sweet pink light enveloped her whole body and the ground of the original blue-black Ongishima Island instantly turned grey-white.
The grey and white spread hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. But the speed showed no sign of stopping, continuing to spread outward rapidly.
In a few seconds, the entire ground on the top floor of Onigashima Island had turned grey and white!
Looking at the grey and white color spreading towards him, Kaido sneered, "Is Devil Fruit awakening? Fruit ability development is good! But let me see how your Haki is doing!"
Facing Hancock's Mero Mero no mi awakening ability, Kaido did not retreat but advanced. After a few vertical leaps, he reached Hancock and smashed down with his kenbo!
The petrification ability of the mero mero no mi did not affect Kaido.
Anyone observing could see that Kaido was surrounded by his powerful Haki and the blue-black lightning of Conqueror's Haki was overflowing. Even with the awakened petrification ability of the mero mero after touching the blue-black lightning, it still couldn't have any effect.
At this time, Hancock also finished spinning; her long, fair legs seemed to be wearing a layer of pink stockings and her right leg was scarlet like fire!
The advanced Armament Haki Emission wrapped her right foot, and the burning flames made Hancock even more imposing!
"Mero Mero Inferno Serpenté: Radiant Blaze!"
Facing Kaido's blow, Hancock did not back down, shouted softly, and the Conqueror's Haki burst out, leaping up.
In the next second, a huge explosion spread across the sky, surprising everyone fighting fiercely below. They turned their heads to look at the top of the Island.
A burst of bloody red light and a burst of shocking blue light rushed to the sky! Although it didn't break the sky, it made the dark clouds in the sky vanish!
After Hancock's Radiant Blaze and Kaido's Gundari Ryuseigun stagnated for a few seconds, it was still no match for Kaido's powerful attack and that attack directly swept her away.
Flying upside down hundreds of meters in a row, smashing several stone mountains. Hancock fell from the sky with a rotation.
At this time, there was already a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth but the fighting spirit in her eyes was burning!
"Huh? Didn't die?"
Kaido observed Hancock in the distance, noticing only a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. He couldn't help but be somewhat surprised then burst into laughter: "Wororo. How about it? Do you want to continue? Your all-out attack is of no use at all!"
"If that's your limit then I advise you to give up and let Buggy come."
The corner of Hancock's mouth curled into a smile as she retorted, "Is it useless? Kaido, don't be so arrogant!'
"Look at your weapon!"
Upon hearing Hancock's words, Kaido instinctively took down the mace on his shoulder and inspected it. Immediately, his pupils involuntarily shrank: "What! How can it be?"
Not only Kaido was shocked, but even Big Mom, who had been observing the battle above the sky, was also astonished.
Because those spikes on Kaido's mace had been petrified!
With so much formidable Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, how could they be petrified? At this moment, the row of spikes, blown by the wind, turned into dust and scattered away.
"Very good!" Kaido gritted his teeth and said, "It seems you have some tricks, so what's next? How do you defend yourself?!"
Under Kaido's low shout, a purple beam of light shot up into the sky, and then Kaido's figure began to transform into the beam of light.
In just a few breaths, Kaido had transformed into a half-dragon form!
This was his current strongest form and the most suitable for fighting.
Witnessing this, Hancock was not only unafraid but smiled lightly and said, "Are you finally serious?"
"Wororo."
Kaido burst into laughter and said, "That's right, girl you are quite capable. But I want to tell you, that in this world, only Haki is above everything else! If you rely on the fruit..."
However, Kaido hadn't finished his speech yet and was directly interrupted by Hancock with disdain, "Okay, let's start fighting directly! Buggy has already said what you said. I am not here to listen to your lectures but to let you be a training partner."
After speaking, Hancock, who was hundreds of meters away jumped and stepped out of a huge crater on the ground. She turned into a pink stream of light and rushed directly towards Kaido.
"Worororo!!!" Kaido was so furious that his body shook and his aura was cold.
"Since this is the case, then let you feel the pain! Daiitoku Raimei Hakke!!!"
"Radiant Blaze of Haki Harmony!!!"
Hancock showed no fear and two streaks of Light. One pink and one blue collided.
The next moment, the Conqueror's Haki of the duo exploded simultaneously!
Hancock was thrown into the air again but this time she was not swept hundreds of meters like the first time.
Instead, she stopped within 50 meters, a happy smile on her charming face and the Conqueror's Haki around her grew stronger!
At the same time, on Hancock's long legs. There was even a trace of pink and black lightning!
Seeing this scene, Kaido and Big Mom contracted their pupils.
Buggy wore a smile and secretly praised in his heart, "As expected of you, Kaido of the Beasts!"
