One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

“Hahahaha! I haven’t experienced this kind of hearty pleasure in a long time!”

"Doesn't that mean that the people you defeated were all nameless people?"

On the west coast of Baihe Island, countless pitch-black lightning burst out and spread wildly in all directions, floating everywhere like octopus tentacles, causing the surrounding sea surface to surge violently, and waves several feet high were raised one after another.

Dense groups of pirates blocked the entrance to the canyon and stood there motionless. Hundreds of eyes were focused on the two people who were fighting fiercely in the open space in front of them. They bit their lips and watched this thrilling battle with nervous expressions.

One of the blond men waving double swords wildly was their admiral Golden Lion, the man they respected the most. The reason for this was naturally his amazing strength that made him invincible.

Until this point, this taken-for-granted idea has changed slightly.

The man called Edward Newgate, wielding a huge naginata, fought with their admiral for hundreds of moves in a blink of an eye. The fight was so difficult to resolve that they were evenly matched. They were dazzled and overwhelmed. It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a thrilling battle.

The Hiku Pirates have been sailing the sea for ten years, invincible and undefeated. The admiral is evenly matched with the enemy, something the pirates never thought of before. Although some people comfort themselves that what they see is just an illusion, everything that happens before their eyes quickly brings them back to reality.

No one dared to help the admiral, because they did not want to follow in the footsteps of their companions who had just wanted to attack Newgate but had been cut to pieces by the enraged admiral's sword.

No matter who they are, they all have their own minefields. Interference in their battles is their admiral's minefield. Once they cross this line, they will undoubtedly face a tragic end.

People value their own lives more than anything else, and the pirates naturally understand this truth. They stand aside in an orderly manner and quietly witness the end of their captain.

"Chop!"

Shiqi leaped forward and passed through the heavy clouds. Golden waves lingered on the blades. He swung the two long swords fiercely. Two majestic sword energies came one after the other, surging down at lightning speed.

"It's not bad."

Newgate raised his head and praised. Countless rays of light gathered on the blade, forming a huge ball of light. Just when the sword energy was only one meter away from Newgate, he shouted, holding the naginata tightly with both hands and swept it across the sky. The ball of light suddenly exploded, and a deafening sound resounded all around. The whole island was shaking for a moment. Many pirates were unable to stand steadily, and were blown away along with the stone chips, making heart-wrenching screams. Spider-web-like cracks formed in the air and continued to spread around. The moment the golden sword energy touched the naginata, it instantly broke into small pieces and scattered away, leaving no trace.

"There is one! The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit...?"

Shiki did a few backflips and landed on the top of a rocky mountain, looking down at Newgate from above. The corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind, and his face still had that defiant expression. "I'm starting to take an interest in you. Please make sure you let me enjoy myself!"

Newgate raised his head and said calmly: "Thank you for your attention, but how can I feel your sincerity from such a high place?"

“Hahahaha! I can even move islands! I’m not even on the same level as you guys!”

Newgate ignored the blond man's arrogant laughter. He turned his head and glanced to the other side, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "That boy... has stood up again."

"You mean the guy named Kaido?"

Shiki followed Whitebeard's gaze and looked into the distance. He reached out to take out his cigar, blew out a bunch of smoke rings, and muttered disapprovingly, "If that brat loses the battle because of this, I will feel sick at the thought of fighting him!"

"Gulala! You still care about that little brat!"

Newgate held the naginata horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes flashing with a sharp edge, "I have to try my best, otherwise that guy will come over later and make a fool of me!"

"Hahahaha! That is, if he can come here!"

With a wild laugh, Shiqi suddenly jumped up and swooped down at the motionless man with his crossed swords.

While the fierce fighting was still going on here, on the other side, a fierce battle was also going on on the flat land surrounded by mountains in the southwest of the island.

In a flash, two figures were like meteors, interweaving with each other, suddenly separating and suddenly joining together. A series of crackling sounds were heard, stirring up gusts of strong wind, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty moves had been exchanged.

Vidruvius kept attacking with both palms, thinking that victory was certain. However, Kaido would avoid his palm power in a funny way every time, and throw a light punch with his backhand. It seemed ordinary, but every time Vidruvius' palms collided with his fists, he felt a huge force surging, which made his palms numb slightly, and he gradually became anxious.

——Tsk, when did that boy become so strong? Was it also caused by drinking?

——Not only has his strength increased, his movements have also become faster. He can even keep up with the speed of my palm strikes. And I don’t see that he is using any domineering aura... Wait, could it be that by using the potential unleashed by drinking, he has even learned that move?

Thinking of this, Vidruwe did not dare to delay for a moment. He gathered his strength and slapped Kaido's face and chest with both palms, creating gusts of wind, which were fast and fierce.

At the critical moment, Kaido quickly squatted down to avoid the two palms, and kicked out with his left leg, sweeping across. Vidruwe jumped up to avoid it, and then kicked up a huge wind blade. Kaido dodged sideways crookedly, but Vidruwe had already seen that he would do this, so he did a somersault and went around behind him, slapping him in the back. With a crisp sound, Kaido was hit squarely on the back by the palm, and his clothes suddenly exploded on the back. The whole person flew forward for a distance and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's a pity that it's impossible for you to be on equal footing with me at your current level..."

Vidruvius stopped talking halfway through his words, and his expression changed from contempt to surprise. He stared blankly at the young man who quickly struggled to get up from the ground.

"That hurt so much just now, uncle..."

Kaido rubbed his back and gritted his teeth, tears actually burst out from the corners of his eyes, "Wuuuuuuuuu! Do you know that this hurts!"

ha?

Suddenly, he started to cry loudly. Vidruvi was a little confused and his expression froze.

This kid, he never shed a tear even though I knocked him down countless times before, why is he crying like this suddenly?

No! His behavior has been very strange since he got drunk. He was disappointed at first, then laughed, and now he is crying again?

The most important thing is that even though I hit him in a vital part, he could still move freely. Could it be that in this state, his internal energy is completely disordered?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Vidruwe decided to take the initiative. He swayed his body, came to Kaido's side, and swung his palm towards his waist. When his palm reached Kaido, Kaido turned his left hand and grabbed his wrist like lightning. Unexpectedly, Vidruwe's move was a feint. His body bent sharply to the left, leaving Kaido empty. Then he rushed in front of Kaido and poked his eyeballs with two fingers. The force was so strong that Kaido leaned back to avoid the risk of blinding his eyes. While the opponent was still not backing up, he suddenly hit Vidruwe's right arm with a headbutt. Vidruwe felt his right arm shake, and the bones seemed to be falling apart.

Ignoring the pain in his hand, Vidruvi stretched his right leg back to prepare for a Storm Kick. Just when he was halfway through the kick, he suddenly felt a tightness on his foot. Kaido had already grabbed his wrist tightly.

"Woooooooooo! I got it!"

Without giving him a chance to fight back, Kaido spun him around several times while crying, and then threw him hard into the distance. Vidruve's body flew out like a cloud. At the critical moment, he somersaulted several times in the air, and stomped his feet quickly on the air before he could stabilize his body.

"Woooooooo..."

Kaido covered his face with his hands and cried for a while. Suddenly, the crying gradually stopped. He slowly moved his hands away from his face, revealing a face with wide-open eyes. He roared in a full voice, "I trusted you so much before! How dare you conspire with the damn king to betray me! I won't let go of the hatred in my heart unless I beat you so hard that even your ancestors can't recognize you!"

Has he regained his sanity? No, it seems he's too angry.

Just as Vidruvius was stunned, Kaido ran angrily to the side of a huge rock and smashed the whole rock into pieces with one punch. He picked up a larger piece of rubble and chopped it off with his bare hands, cutting it into the shape of a mace. He held it tightly in his hand, pointed at the man in the air and cursed: "Don't give me such a condescending attitude!"

With a roar, Kaido swung his stick violently, and a surging shock wave shot into the air. Vidruvi dodged from the right side, dived down to the ground, and slashed his palm in the air. An invisible wave of air burst out from his palm.

It blasted towards the boy’s crown.

Seeing the invisible palm force coming towards him, Kaido did not dodge or evade, his whole body turned dark, and the surging air wave scattered around when it touched his skin, without any damage on his body. At the same time, Vidruvi had flashed in front of Kaido and stretched out his palm to cut his right wrist. Kaido swung his left fist violently, knocking his right palm aside, and swept the mace in his right hand across, as fast as lightning. Vidruvi's body did not move, and with a "bang", the mace hit his chest head-on, knocking him back several steps.

Although he used the "iron block" in time, Vidruvius still felt uncomfortable. His bones were creaking and he almost fell to his knees.

The domineering aura is completely on a different level from before... That kid really has learned the advanced application of armament color!

Judging from his appearance, he can probably only use it when he's drunk. In that case...!

Vidruwei took a breath, stepped forward with his right leg, placed his left leg against the inside of the ankle of his front leg, and lifted his palms one after the other, shouting in a deep voice: "Six Styles·Two Hundred and Fifty-Six Swimming Body Bagua Palm!"

Before he finished speaking, Vidruvi's feet cracked the ground and he shot out, following the innate Bagua diagram, running quickly around Kaido's body without stopping. He had just turned two circles when Kaido came in sideways, holding the mace tightly on his right shoulder.

"Jundali·Long Shengjun!"

In an instant, the mace turned into phantoms and smashed towards the enemy with a torrential attack. Vidruvius waved his palms at high speed and spun like a raging tornado, colliding fiercely with him. The violent air waves spread out around them, countless stone chips flew out, and a series of "crackling" sonic booms were heard. The surrounding mountains also began to shake, as if they would collapse at any time.

The two exchanged hundreds of moves, and Vidruve gradually felt anxious. He felt that each of the opponent's sticks seemed to carry a tremendous force, and he might not be able to withstand it if he continued. He immediately made two empty strikes, and Kaido's mace swung down without hitting his palm. Vidruve took the opportunity to move from Gen to Kan, went behind Kaido, and chopped his neck with his right palm. Kaido only felt the sound of wind on his back, turned quickly backward, and punched his right palm with his left fist, and smashed his chest with the mace in his right hand. Vidruvius was startled when he saw him do this. He turned his right palm up and drew an arc to avoid his left fist and hit his elbow. He dodged to the right and tried to avoid his stick, but Kaido's stick was just a feint. He grabbed his right arm with his left hand and the mace turned a corner in the air and swept away. Vidruvius could no longer dodge. The mace burst out with black lightning and hit him heavily in the chest. Vidruvius groaned and flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing into a towering rock mountain, instantly creating a huge hole.

"Guh!"

Vidruvi was pinned in the center of the hole. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, had seven or eight ribs broken, and the front of his clothes torn. He looked very miserable. Just as he was about to struggle to get out of the mountain and fight back, he saw Kaido rushing up to him in an instant, waving his mace at him on the head with gnashing teeth.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that the mace was about to hit him, Vidruvi gritted his teeth, covered his entire body with Armament Haki, and planned to gamble on the "iron block" to block the attack. Unexpectedly, the momentum of the mace suddenly weakened, and at the same time, the anger on Kaido's face disappeared, replaced by a look of astonishment.

"Huh? What did I just do?"

Seeing this, Vidruvius quickly understood the situation and a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are sober now."

Without giving the other party any chance to react, his figure disappeared with a "swoosh" and appeared in front of Kaido in the blink of an eye, with both palms raised, one above and one below, pressing against his chest.

"Six Kings Spear·Tian Gang Yin Yang Palm."

The violent impact penetrated Kaido's chest and shot out from his back. Kaido screamed, and his body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, creating a huge hole and raising a cloud of dust.

Vidruvi landed steadily on the ground, dusted himself off, looked at the figure lying in the deep hole, and said with a smile: "In a battle, failure on the verge of success is also a common part. Remember this, kid... I almost forgot that you don't have another chance."
