Chapter 317 - Chapter 321 : Round 3!!

[As the viewers were still reeling from the shock of Luffy entering Fifth Gear!]

[The clash between Luffy and Kaido is about to begin...]

[At this moment, Kaido has transformed into his dragon form and crashed into the banquet!]

[His enormous body and overwhelming power instilled a deep sense of dread in everyone present!]

[It even drove countless members of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Wano rebels into despair!]

[They couldn't fathom that Luffy might have been defeated by Kaido...]

[Without Luffy, who could possibly stop Kaido?]

[Could it be that this rebellion, years in the making, is doomed to fail?]

[Will the entire Wano Kingdom fall completely under Kaido's control?]

[Is there truly no one who can stand against him?]

[Kidd and Law were already on the brink of exhaustion, and Zoro and the others were too weak to confront Kaido again. As for the rest...]

[Even if they rushed in, they would only be adding to the casualties!]

[Kaido's roar echoed through the banquet hall, just as he was about to make his move and annihilate everyone present!]

[Then, something unexpected happened...]

[A colossal hand, enveloped in white clouds, descended from the sky and shattered the roof with a single punch!]

[It grasped Kaido's immense form firmly and yanked him away!]

[In comparison, Kaido's massive body seemed tiny against that enormous hand!]

[This turn of events took everyone by surprise, including Kaido himself...]

[The Straw Hat Pirates and the Wano rebels were stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.]

[They watched as Kaido was gripped by the immense force and thrown backward!]

[He was immediately removed from the banquet and returned to the battlefield where the fight had originally started...]

["Who? Who is it?" Kaido shouted angrily, scanning his surroundings.]

[When he saw Luffy's figure and stance, he was momentarily stunned.]

[Although Luffy looked very different from before, certain details made it clear that he was indeed Luffy!]

[The iconic cross-shaped scar on his chest and the straw hat on his back unmistakably identified him as Luffy!]

[But what confused Kaido was why Luffy's hair and eyebrows had turned white.]

[His body was still enveloped in white smoke, making him look quite peculiar.]

["Aren't you dead? How come..."]

[Kaido's doubts were fleeting. To him, Luffy was simply a defeated enemy!]

[So what if he stands up again?]

[Kaido had already defeated him once before; he could do it again!]

[With that, Kaido unleashed his immense power and charged at Luffy.]

[At that moment, Kaido was suddenly pulled away by a strange and formidable opponent.]

[Meanwhile, during the entire commotion, the Straw Hat Pirates and numerous Wano rebels had ventured out of curiosity to investigate.]

[After all, many of Kaido's men had been defeated, and the battle seemed to have reached its climax.]

[The remaining defeated soldiers had largely stopped and rushed outside to see what was happening.]

[When they saw the scene outside, they were left utterly stunned!]

[Like Kaido, although the Luffy before them looked very different from before, the small details around him confirmed his identity.]

[Especially for the Straw Hat Pirates, who were extremely familiar with Luffy and could recognize him instantly!]

[A wave of shock surged through everyone's hearts!]

[Isn't Luffy dead? How is he alive again now?]

[And in such an unprecedented form...]

[Could it be that after advancing his Rubber-Rubber Fruit to Fourth Gear, he has unlocked a new mode, Fifth Gear?]

[Everyone pushed these thoughts aside; the immediate priority was to defeat Kaido...]

[Only by defeating Kaido could this battle be concluded and the people of Wano be saved.]

[Whether it's the numerous crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates or all the rebels in Wano, everyone is silently praying at this moment, hoping that Luffy can defeat Kaido and bring an end to this fierce battle!]

[And indeed, that's exactly what's happening. As Kaido unleashed his full power and charged at Luffy, the outcome was entirely different from before.]

[Instead of a violent clash, Luffy handled the situation with ease.]

[He even slapped Kaido across the face and sent him flying...]

[Kaido had never experienced such an affront before, leaving him feeling deeply humiliated and enraged!]

[He immediately transformed into his dragon form, the most formidable of his fighting stances!]

[Raising his massive mace, he swung it menacingly at Luffy!]

[Rumble...]

[Luffy was struck by Kaido's mace, but the impact was far from the explosive force Kaido had anticipated.]

[Luffy's entire body became rubber-like, molding directly onto the mace and taking its shape!]

[Not only did this negate all the damage, but it also used the rebound force to strike Kaido back!]

[Kaido was utterly bewildered...]

[He couldn't believe that Luffy's resurrected strength could be so terrifying!]

[Then, an even more shocking scene unfolded before him...]
