Tekkai-ken Konton(Iron Body Boxing, Chaos)
Atlas had already shifted into a formidable two-meter combat form, enveloped in a robust armament haki, while mysterious lines coiled around his body. As life return progressed and his mastery of Haki deepened, he reached more advanced levels of haki.
The myriad fist shadows rained down upon Kaido's back, yet he remained utterly indifferent. Despite spotting Atlas behind him, the force of Atlas's fists proved more potent to Kaido than Sakazuki's assault in front. It was merely an itch to his body.
Bang bang bang!
Atlas' armament haki-colored fists relentlessly struck Kaido's back, generating a dull and intense impact.
"Kid! You did well with the massage! You've given me a good workout, wororororo!"
Kaido turned to confront Atlas, wearing a ferocious smile, as sarcastic as possible.
"Yeah?"
Atlas curled his lips and unsheathed the Sandai Kitetsu, covered in armament haki.
Ittōryū Bushinwan Ryūgiri(One Sword Style Martial God Arm Slaying the Dragon!)
The two slashes landed on Kaido in the form of an 'X'. Naturally, on the other side, Sakazuki wouldn't miss this opportunity and struck Kaido's face with a Meigo(Dark Hound).
Kaido remained as reckless as ever. Unwilling to confront the Meigo(Dark Hound), even though his livelihood didn't depend on his appearance, he had no desire to be disfigured. Thus, he chose to disregard Atlas's slashes and concentrate on dealing with Sakazuki.
Slash!
The colossal blood-red slash managed to pierce through Kaido's dense scales, leaving two shallow blood lines that quickly faded away. It appeared that the current Kaido had not yet attained the formidable defense that he would achieve over ten years later.
"Damn pests!"
While Atlas's slash didn't inflict significant damage, the formidable overlord of the New World found himself breached by a Marine newcomer. Kaido, known for his pride, couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance.
Kaido swiftly pivoted, wielding the mace in his hand, delivering a powerful impact to Atlas! The tremendous force and terrifying speed seemed to rupture the air!
"Hey, hey! You planning on being this over-the-top?"
Atlas swiftly clasped Sandai Kitetsu in his hands, holding it defensively in front of him.
Boom! ! !
Sandai Kitetsu intercepted Kaido's massive fist. Veins bulged on Atlas's neck, teeth clenched, and his body couldn't prevent itself from being propelled backward!
After Kaido swung the mace, he observed Atlas flying backward, anticipating the next move. However, Sakazuki wasn't about to let him have his way. His colossal lava-fueled fist collided with Kaido with a resounding impact. The rapidly escalating temperature nearly caused the air to boil.
Boom!
Kaido, left with no alternative, enveloped his body in armor and used it to absorb the impact of Sakazuki's fist. Simultaneously, his head swiftly transformed into a massive dragon head, unleashing several scorching breaths as he opened his mouth.
Sizzle!
Sakazuki promptly transformed into his elemental state, engaging in a wild clash with the scorching breath and magma. Innumerable flames and magma descended into the seawater, significantly elevating the temperature in the surrounding sea area.
Atlas, sent flying by Kaido's mace, swiftly closed the distance from a distance. He recognized that a battle of this magnitude would greatly benefit his strength. Opportunities to face such high-level combatants were rare, and Atlas knew that he could contribute by occasionally harassing another top-tier combat force.
"Kaido!!"
Seimei kikan Bushintai(Return of Life Martial God Body)
In mid-air, Atlas's body suddenly expanded, rapidly increasing in height, transforming into a five-meter-tall little giant. The lines on his face became more distinct, and the surging power within his body was nearly uncontrollable.
"Worororo! Interesting lad!"
Kaido turned his attention to Atlas upon hearing the sound. He was momentarily taken aback by the dramatic transformation in appearance, and then burst into wild laughter.
"Marine brat, fancy joining me for some fun? I'll give the position of the All Stars to you! Worororo!"
"It's certainly thrilling, but unfortunately, I'll have to decline!"
"Ah~ What a shame. I'll just have to let you... meet your end!"
Raimei Hakke(Thunderous Eight Trigrams)
A tremendous roar of wind and thunder echoed, as the violent thunder enshrouded the mace, and the awe-inspiring aura continually emphasized to Atlas the immense power of this attack!
Boom! ! !
The fists and mace made contact, and the two colossal forces clashed. In that instant, Atlas found himself in a stalemate against Kaido's Raimei Hakke, but he was then sent flying once more. Atlas felt like he was launched, akin to a cannonball, descending in an almost perfect parabola towards the distant sea.
Certainly, Kaido would undoubtedly be prepared for Sakazuki's sneak attack from the realm of justice at this moment. Sakazuki has consistently employed every possible means to confront pirates, with victory justifying any means necessary.
Indeed, Kaido outwardly appears audacious, seemingly seeking death or heading towards it every day. This stems from his confidence that no one can kill him; otherwise, he possesses the ability to escape more swiftly than anyone else. Kozuki Oden serves as a prime example.
"What an irritating little pest!"
Kaido felt a bit irritated. On one side, there was Sakazuki, attempting to hold him back. On the other, the Marine guy seemed like an insufferable nuisance, impervious to death no matter how hard he struck. Meanwhile, Sakazuki consistently seized the chance to land a few punches.
Kosanze Ragnaraku(Nine Mountains and Eight Seas of Purgatory)
Kaido abruptly levitated, and the massive mace started spinning at high speed. Conqueror's Haki swiftly enveloped him, while black and red lightning continued to emanate. Asserting his dominance, he propelled the club directly towards Akainu.
Inugami Guren(Dog God Crimson Lotus)
The fierce lava dog head materialized instantly, opening its enormous mouth that seemed to lead to the abyss, clamping down on Kaido's mace. Suddenly, with the two as the epicenter, the surrounding water mist expanded abruptly, as if something dreadful had occurred.
Boom! !
A colossal roar reverberated, and even Atlas, who had experienced Kaido's Raimei Hakke from a distance, was rattled by the immense force.
Bang bang bang! !
The sounds of intense close-quarters combat resonated. Akainu and Kaido abandoned their fruit abilities' duel, opting for a direct, fist-to-flesh physical confrontation. In this manner, the two physical behemoths continued their airborne battle for a day and a night, with Atlas occasionally joining in from the ground to deliver a few blows to Kaido. However, each time, he was knocked away by Kaido's mace.
Blessed by the power of the three major talismans, Atlas persistently confronted Kaido as if he were an ordinary person. Initially, Kaido was taken aback by the Marine youngster's astounding resilience and physical strength, but now he appeared somewhat numb to it.
As Atlas persisted in the battle with Kaido, he sensed rapid improvement in his physique and the assimilation of the Rabbit talisman. Now, he resembled a sponge, ceaselessly absorbing power and expanding. What surprised him the most was...
His haki can now be flow...
He can now use Emission
