----------
Inside Skull Dome, the pirates watched the intense battle between the Tobi Roppo and the newcomers, their entire bodies surging with excitement.
"Kill him!"
"Haha, the combination of Page One and Ulti is invincible!"
"Witness the might of the Beast Pirates!"
The cheers rose in waves, one after another.
Kid and Urouge's subordinates were also below the arena, their faces pale as they watched their captain fall into a bitter struggle.
"So strong!"
Their opponents were merely high-ranking officers, not even All-Stars, but even so, the strength they displayed was extremely astonishing.
It was hard to imagine how powerful the three All-Stars, who were even stronger than the Tobi Roppo, and the two captains truly were!
Furthermore, the pirates around them each had an aura comparable to that of a fierce beast, especially those strange Zoan Devil Fruit users, who looked very strong.
Besides that, there were also some Gifters whose status was clearly higher.
"Apoo!"
Killer looked toward the performance stage on the second floor.
"Roar of the Sea" Apoo!
It seemed Apoo had joined the Beast Pirates!
This was understandable. Witnessing the immense power of the Beast Pirates, they too felt desperate, and if their captain wasn't still fighting, they might have made the same choice as Apoo.
In a flash, more than half an hour passed.
"Hoo~ Hoo~~"
The three in fierce combat pulled apart, all panting heavily, clearly greatly exhausted, especially the Ulti siblings.
The difficulty of their opponents exceeded their expectations. Even fighting together, they could only barely maintain a stalemate.
"Bastard!"
Kid was equally anxious.
Being held up by mere officers for so long was unacceptable to him. His targets were the Yonko Kaido and Daichi!
If he continued to waste time like this, he might not even get a chance to fight them.
Kid's eyes widened in anger, and the mechanical puppet beneath him rapidly transformed. "How can I be held back by you small fry!"
"Punk Corna Dio!"
A giant mechanical bull appeared!
Kid sat atop the mechanical bull, purple arcs of electricity flickering all over his body, as the mechanical bull beneath him moved its four limbs and accelerated into a run.
Ulti and Page One sensed the immense power of the mechanical bull, but they didn't flee. Instead, they roared and charged forward.
"Page One!"
"Understood!"
One on the left, one on the right, both simultaneously grabbed one of the mechanical bull's massive horns, then their veins bulged all over their bodies as they roared and wrestled!
"Oh oh oh!"
As Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users, strength was their forte!
Therefore, they absolutely could not back down!
"Hahahaha, you're truly overestimating yourselves!"
Kid laughed wildly.
"Humans invented machines because human strength cannot compare to the power of mechanical structures, and the same goes for you, even if you are Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users."
"Zzzzt!"
The mechanical bull's four limbs moved forward, its leg hydraulics constantly opening and closing, providing powerful thrust for its advance like muscles.
"Haha, let's see if you can block this!"
"Crunch!"
The siblings' feet sank deep into the ground, pulverizing the bricks and stones, then they were continuously pushed back and slid by the mechanical bull's wild charge.
They couldn't block it!
"They... they're out of the ring!"
When the two stopped, their feet had already left the arena.
According to the rules, they had already lost.
"Damn it!"
The siblings were furious, but they had to admit that their opponent was indeed very strong. Despite being a newcomer, he was unexpectedly powerful.
The intel was true.
Their opponent had probably truly defeated a Sweet Commander!
Kid looked toward the arena, his gaze lingering between Daichi and Kaido, finally settling on Kaido.
Compared to Daichi, he was more eager to defeat the Yonko Kaido!
"Get down here and die, Kaido!"
"Wororororo, quite a big mouth, aren't you!"
Kaido laughed as he took a swig of sake, then looked at Daichi beside him. "Daichi, this brat is specifically challenging me."
"You have many subordinates watching, don't lose face as the captain."
Daichi responded expressionlessly.
"Wororororo, how strict!"
Kaido pouted, then leaped down from the high platform!
"Boom!"
The ground shook, and dust swirled across the plaza!
"Kaido!"
Kid's pupils dilated, revealing an endless craving.
He had waited for two years. Finally, this moment had arrived. As long as he defeated the monster before him, he would be just one step away from the Pirate King's throne!
"Zzzzt~ Zzzzt~~"
Arcs of electricity flashed all over Kid's body, and the mechanical bull beneath him rapidly disintegrated, spinning around him like a storm, then reassembling.
"Let me show you my trump card!"
"Railgun!"
A giant mechanical cannon appeared on Kid's left arm.
Electromagnetic Cannon!
Being defeated by Law, and his experience at Prisoner Quarry, finally allowed him to master the ultimate form of his Devil Fruit.
Awakening!
This electromagnetic cannon, capable of destroying everything, was the ultimate secret technique he had comprehended!
"Whoa, whoa, what is that?!"
"I am getting a bad feeling!"
"Quick, get away!"
The pirates sensed something amiss and frantically moved away from the arena, especially from the direction the cannon was aimed. In an instant, it was empty. The officers' expressions also changed.
Especially Queen.
Queen was somewhat jealous. "That brat can actually create something so good. Damn it, if I had eaten that Devil Fruit..."
Perhaps it would be more suitable for that bastard Judge!
From his professional perspective, the Magnet-Magnet Fruit was most suitable for a scientist to eat, especially Vinsmoke Judge. That guy was the most outstanding in researching mechanical weapons.
"Kid, I'll cover you!"
Killer jumped onto the arena, standing to Kid's side to provide cover. He could see that Kid's new move required a long charging time, so his role was to hold off Kaido.
"Wororororo!"
Having transformed, the demon-like hybrid form Kaido emerged from the dust, his bone-chilling killing intent enveloping Kid and Killer.
"Thump!"
The spiked club slammed onto the ground.
Kaido's eyes were like brass bells, his fighting spirit boiling.
"Don't worry, redhead brat, I'll take that move of yours!"
"Hahahaha, what a big mouth!"
Kid laughed maniacally.
"Remember this: I will defeat you, defeat all Yonko, and the one who finds the great treasure and becomes the Pirate King is me!"
"Eustass Kid!"
"Disappear, Kaido!"
"Railgun!"
The railgun glowed red all over, and a crimson beam of light shot out, hitting Kaido without any obstruction!
"Wororororo!"
Kaido roared, raising his spiked club horizontally to block the crimson beam of light!
"Boom!"
His body suddenly sank, and the ground behind him shattered layer by layer!
At this moment, all the pirates held their breath, their eyes fixed on the battlefield, staring at Kaido, who was struck by the railgun!
"Did he block it?!"
"No!"
Under the pirates' shocked gazes, Kaido's arms trembled, and his body slowly moved backward. He was actually showing signs of being pushed back.
Kid roared in fury, exerting more power.
"Railgun: Additional!"
The originally slightly dim railgun once again burst forth with dazzling light, and the volume of the electromagnetic beam suddenly doubled.
"Boom!"
The spiked club flew out.
The electromagnetic beam slammed into Kaido's chest. Kaido, who had been able to forcibly endure it, could no longer stabilize his body and was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The electromagnetic beam pushed Kaido, smashing through wall after wall!
"Boom!"
Onigashima's exterior trembled, and dust soared into the sky.
This single blow pierced through Skull Dome!
"Zzzzt~ Zzzzt~~"
The electromagnetic beam gradually dissipated, with arcs of electricity still lingering in the air.
"Hoo~ Hoo~~"
Kid knelt on the ground, panting heavily. This attack had consumed almost half of his stamina, but the effect was extremely astonishing.
"I won!"
"I defeated Yonko Kaido!"
Kid roared to the sky.
However, Skull Dome remained silent.
The pirates looked at Kid with cold eyes, not at all swayed by the recent collision. There was no way Boss Kaido would lose just like that.
"You--"
Kid was furious, just about to erupt, when his brain suddenly jolted, and he looked with disbelief at the crater created by the railgun.
A terrifying aura was approaching!
"Wororororo!"
Accompanied by a low roar, a large hand grabbed the wall, and then the owner of the hand emerged from the crater.
The "Strongest Creature" Kaido!
"That really hurt!"
Kaido had blood at the corner of his mouth, and his left hand was clutching his charred chest. "Brat, you did well. This will definitely leave a scar!"
"What?!"
Kid's pupils trembled.
It merely... left a scar?!
"Wororororo, are you ready?!"
Kaido revealed a fervent smile, picked up his spiked club from the ground, and then walked step by step toward Kid and Killer.
Seeing this, both their expressions changed simultaneously.
"Killer, cover me!"
Kid roared, raising his railgun.
"One more shot, this time I'll blow this monster's head off!"
The electromagnetic cannon lit up again!
But the next moment, Kaido had already shot forward like a demon, his spiked club emitting a terrifying crimson lightning!
"Thunder Bagua!"
A flash of light, countless crimson lightning bolts exploded!
The electromagnetic cannon shattered and disintegrated, and Kid and Killer flew back, covered in blood, slamming into the wall of Skull Dome.
"Boom!"
Centered on the two, a massive, skull-like indentation exploded on the wall!
Kaido shouldered his spiked club, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Kid, who was embedded in the wall, and asked cruelly.
"What kind of King were you going to be?"
