**Onigashima!**
In the eerie main hall of Onigashima, Kaido sat imposingly on his throne.
At this moment, his expression as he gazed at the sky had shifted. Gone was the anger and disdain he once wore. Now, there was a hint of shock on his face...
After all, Kaido was a Yonko, not just a hot-headed brute.
He had initially dismissed Luffy, thinking he was merely an upstart pirate, not worth his attention.
But now, after witnessing Luffy's actions through the live broadcasts, Kaido finally acknowledged Luffy as a worthy opponent!
This kid's growth rate was truly astonishing!
And his vitality was incredibly tenacious, reaching such heights!
With an ordinary Paramecia-type Rubber Fruit, Luffy was able to stand toe-to-toe with him, one of the Four Emperors.
One has to admit, his potential is truly terrifying.
However, admiration is one thing, and acknowledgment is another. Deep down, I still don't believe that Luffy can defeat me.
"Straw Hat Boy, I acknowledge that you are worthy to be my opponent!"
"You are one of the few people on the seas with boundless potential, but..."
"Right now, thinking you can defeat me is nothing but wishful thinking!"
"Even if you get back up, it won't change the outcome. The power of an Emperor of the Sea is a chasm you can't cross..."
...
Revolutionary Army Headquarters!
Unlike other major factions, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters was eerily silent.
Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo, the commanders of the five major armies, and others, all watched the sky in stunned silence.
The battle displayed on the screen had left them deeply shaken.
Everyone was momentarily speechless. Luffy's growth rate had far exceeded their wildest expectations.
Their memories of him were still stuck on his battles with the Shichibukai.
But now, here he was, fighting one of the Four Emperors... Even Luffy's father, Dragon, was astounded by his son's rapid growth.
After all, Kaido is a formidable being, and even Dragon can't guarantee a decisive victory against him.
Yet, here was his son, fiercely battling Kaido!
Although Dragon still felt that Luffy's chances of winning were slim in this battle,
He had to admit that Luffy was now among the few who could push Kaido to such extremes!
While they all believed that Luffy's victory seemed unlikely, there was no denying that...
They all wanted Luffy to win!
Moved by Luffy's passionate struggle, everyone couldn't help but shout and cheer for him.
"Go, Luffy! You can definitely defeat Kaido!"
...
[The screen continues to play...]
[Luffy and Kaido clashed fiercely in the sky. When Luffy stood up again, he unleashed even more terrifying and powerful strength than before!]
He Actually Suppressed Kaido Momentarily.
In a brief exchange, he managed to overpower Kaido. A few powerful strikes left Kaido injured, affecting his overall condition.
Kaido had planned for Onigashima to be lifted into the air by his own power. However, his power has become unstable, causing the entire island to shake continuously.
This instability indicates that Kaido's power is no longer under his full control, significantly weakening him!
Due to the tremors on Onigashima, everyone on the island struggled to keep their footing...
To prevent Onigashima from falling, Luffy asked Momonosuke for help to support the island!
If Onigashima were to crash, not only would everyone on the island perish, but the entire Wano Country would be obliterated!
Countless explosives are buried in the center of the island. If they were to fall from such a height, a massive explosion would ensue!
The people on the island would die, and Wano would be destroyed!
Initially, Momonosuke felt unworthy of this task, but after much persuasion, he realized that if he did not step up, all of Wano would be doomed!
Determined, Momonosuke flew to the base of Onigashima and used his massive body to stabilize it!
Now, the entire Onigashima floats in the sky due to Kaido's power, with Momonosuke acting as a stabilizing force.
With this, Onigashima became stable once more...
The battle between Luffy and Kaido returned to the ground, intensifying as Momonosuke held up the island. Neither side was willing to back down!
Kaido was astonished by Luffy's transformation; he was now several times stronger than before!
Kaido even wondered if being knocked unconscious had somehow increased Luffy's strength.
"I've never experienced such a method of growth. If I get the chance, maybe I should try it..."
Meanwhile, Luffy's own momentum continued to rise during his clash with Kaido...
