Suddenly, he felt the force in his hand was off.
He looked down.
Kaido doubted his own eyes; he hadn't sent Lu Xiaoshuo Nethe flying.
Kevin remained motionless.
There was no scene of flesh and blood blurring either.
"It's about the same force as a massage from my beautiful crew members." Kevin pushed away the Wolf Fang Club.
The force was just right.
Kaido stared at Kevin as if he had seen a ghost.
He desperately rubbed his eyes.
He was 100% certain that Kevin had not used Armament Haki; he had taken it purely with his body.
"Impossible, this is impossible."
Kaido didn't believe it.
Even Big Mom's physique couldn't purely rely on her body to withstand Thunder Bagua.
"What special ability did you use?" Kaido didn't believe it was truly just his body.
It must be a special ability.
It had always been rumored in the seas that Kevin was a strange ability user.
Defense, resurrection—these could all be manifestations of his abilities.
It's just that no one could confirm what the specific ability was.
"Yes, that's it, the rumored invincible defensive ability," Kaido convinced himself.
"Isn't it just an ability? After a few experiments, I'll know the general scope of your ability and its weaknesses."
Kaido wildly swung his Wolf Fang Club.
Only attacking.
All his strength was used for offense, with no defense—this was also Kaido's fighting style.
A fighting style that gave everyone a headache.
"Even Whitebeard wouldn't dare to fight me like this."
The Wolf Fang Club furiously exploded the air.
Kevin swung his blade.
He was familiar with undefended combat.
Both of their attacks were faster, incredibly fast, and each move was astonishingly powerful.
Any First Mate-level individual who dared to fight without defense in such a battle would be instantly killed.
Frenzied attacks.
Yet, there were no earth-shattering collisions; the weapons in their hands did not clash.
They both consciously avoided clashing their weapons with full power.
Instead, they only attacked each other's bodies.
However many times they struck, that's how many times they were hit.
The entire rear of Onigashima was constantly destroyed by the rampaging air currents, layer by layer, pulverized.
"It hurts so much."
Kaido's eyes were bloodshot; he felt as if he was being cut into a thousand pieces.
His eyes hardened.
If he was suffering this much, then Kevin must be suffering even more and unable to sustain it.
"He'll definitely run first… Damn it."
Kaido looked at Kevin, who was completely unharmed…
Although Kevin had Armament Haki covering his body, Kaido knew that in such a frantic exchange of blows, relying solely on Armament Haki wouldn't be enough to block everything.
"It's not an ability?"
Kaido's eyes widened.
There was no manifestation of an ability.
It was a pure combination of Haki and body, displaying an invincible defensive power.
"His Armed Color Haki isn't much stronger than mine, so why am I injured and he isn't?"
Kaido's mindset collapsed.
He displayed the pained expression that many of his past opponents had shown.
"Descent of the Three Worlds: Ragnarok!"
Terrifying Conqueror's Haki lightning covered his Wolf Fang Club.
"Golden Crow Patrols the Sky."
The powerful move was originally intended to attack Kevin's body.
Seeing the Conqueror's Haki-infused technique also aimed at his own body, Kaido shuddered.
"I'm insane." He hurriedly shifted the trajectory of his Wolf Fang Club to block the blade.
The clash of Conqueror's Haki.
The sky split open once more.
"Thud, thud, thud…" Kaido's steps uncontrollably retreated, each step shaking the ground.
Leaning on his Wolf Fang Club, Kaido's breathing began to become erratic.
Even more erratic was his emotional state.
"What kind of monster are you?" Kaido asked, uttering the words that many people had once asked him.
Looking at the uninjured Kevin, Kaido then looked at his own body, covered in injuries.
He couldn't accept it.
"Your body is so weak," Kevin said with disdain, "and not as tough as your mouth."
It wasn't satisfying.
Kaido's mindset completely collapsed.
He was all too familiar with that sentence.
In the past, when he crushed many squishy opponents, he would always say something similar.
He had never imagined that one day, he would be mocked by someone for his physique being too weak.
Kaido displayed an expression uglier than crying.
"No wonder Big Mom likes you so much," Kaido said, understanding. "That's why Big Mom cares so much about Kevin."
"Such a physique is like an addictive poison to Big Mom."
Kevin frowned, Big Mom's terrifying image appearing in his mind.
"It seems I made it too easy for you just now." Kevin's eyes sharpened, and a violent aura burst forth: "Playtime is over."
Kaido was stunned.
He blinked.
Playtime?
It seemed he had angered a monster.
"That wasn't what I meant; it was Big Mom's meaning," Kaido quickly explained.
What greeted him was Kevin's slashing blade.
Each strike was heavier than the last.
Every single strike was a super strong blow.
Seeing his once-proud fighting style appear on Kevin, Kaido realized how truly uncomfortable and frustrated it was.
