Chapter 1177: Kaido: Thunder Bagua!
The overall structure of the world of Falmart is mainly divided into the main continent and the southern archipelago.
As for the latter, while called an archipelago, it is actually divided into just two large islands and some scattered islets and reefs near them.
The shapes of these two large islands are quite different. The eastern one is generally elongated and flat, and it is also the furthest colony of The Empire.
The western island has an irregular pentagonal outline and is also Kaido's destination.
It is the territory of the God of Flame and Forging, home to the world's largest active volcano, which constantly erupts magma on a massive scale.
Because of this, The Empire dares not send a single soldier here.
It is said that this place was once the capital of the Dragon Race.
Later, the Dragon Race was defeated by the Elf Race, and as it was not suitable for the Elf Race to inhabit, it was completely abandoned for a long period of time.
Only a few remaining Flame Dragons quietly resided here.
Until Dunken, this Forge Master of the Dwarf Race, successfully became a god.
Only then did this place become prosperous due to the large influx of the Dwarf Race.
Therefore, this place is actually also called the Dwarf Kingdom.
For The Empire, these Dwarves are far overseas, dislike conflict, and are only interested in research into minerals and forging technology.
Coupled with the protection of a Chief God who is fiercely protective.
So, over the past three hundred years, The Empire and other kingdoms and duchies would often come to order weapons and armor.
This is also the reason why blacksmiths are rarely trained within The Empire.
Because they feel that it's fine to spend money to buy from the Dwarf Kingdom, why bother making it themselves?
Not to mention, the things they make are far inferior in quality compared to what they buy.
At this moment, Kaido, who had transformed into his Azure Dragon form, with the help of Flame Clouds.
similarly flew tirelessly to the coastline at the south end of the Falmart Continent.
which is the even further south end of the Elbe Principality, a plains region named 'Dumalian'.
Many Demi-human Races live here.
such as the Centaur Race, Gnome Race, and various Beast-type Demi-humans similar to the Sea Star Mink Tribe.
As for the coastline and the nearshore area.
live the Medusa Race and Aquatic Race that are almost identical to the Sea Star Fish-man Race.
However, within the Aquatic Race, there are also branches similar to the Sea Star Fishman Tribe.
They generally live in the deep sea area and rarely appear near the continent.
But they will often attack ships on the sea.
Therefore, The Empire calls them 'Sea Monsters' instead of the Aquatic Race.
It is also the biggest obstacle to trade between The Empire and the Dwarf Kingdom.
It is such a place that does not belong to Humans, only to Demi-humans.
Tonight, it welcomed a divine dragon that does not exist in this world.
Although most people have already fallen into slumber.
But there are still quite a few Demi-humans with strange appearances who witnessed the spectacular scene of the Azure Dragon sweeping across the starry sky.
They were dumbfounded, with their mouths open, unable to make a sound.
Although they didn't know what kind of creature that was.
But they were also deeply attracted by the charm of that Azure Dragon, where beauty and fierceness coexisted.
But when their line of sight touched the gaze Kaido unintentionally cast down.
Whether it was the Centaur Race, or Tiger-men, Werewolves, Elephant-men, these Beast-type Demi-human Races.
all felt an unprecedented terror rising within their body.
They hurriedly withdrew their line of sight, lowered their heads, even knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
Was that a serpent?
Or a God?
In the high altitude, Kaido withdrew his overly terrifying dragon eyes.
The reason he looked down was just because he was a bit curious about these Demi-humans.
As is well known, he likes Animal-Type Ability Users the most.
He even once dreamed of forming a pirate crew composed entirely of Animal-Type Ability Users.
Although this dream now seems a bit too small, his personal preference will not change.
Aren't Animal-Type Ability Users just transforming into animals or human-form animals?
These Demi-humans just happen to be able to constantly maintain Human-Beast Form.
Actually, Kaido has always been conflicted about being an Air Force Admiral.
If he were an Army General.
he would definitely form a legion composed entirely of Animal-Type Ability Users and the Mink Tribe as his direct troops.
Unfortunately, in previous years, he repeatedly requested, hoping to join the Army Headquarters, but was rejected by the Command Department every time.
In the end, he could only accept reality and be an Air Force Admiral.
Because Kaido also understood that his ability was indeed more suitable for the Air Force.
However, he never believed that his ground combat capability was weaker than any current Army General.
Putting aside other things.
His Thunder Bagua is definitely stronger than that guy Sakazuki's Hellhound, right!
Who opposes?
Let him come and take one hit from me!
At this moment, just as Kaido's thoughts were wandering a bit.
Ahead, a burst of scorching fire light suddenly bloomed, instantly illuminating an area of over ten kilometers.
also woke up countless sleeping Demi-human residents below.
However, whether it was Kaido or the newcomer, they naturally wouldn't care about the reactions of ants.
"You are the World Government's Air Force Headquarters Admiral Azure Dragon, right?"
"This Old Man is Dunken, the God of Flame and Forging of this world, and I have specially come to experience your combat power!"
About one kilometer away from Kaido, Dunken, whose hair and beard were both flame, with a sturdy figure that could be called broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, was covered head to toe in exquisite red armor, holding a bright red axe-hammer crafted from unknown materials but capable of igniting the surrounding air.
stood majestically upon the back of a magnificent Flame Dragon, his resolute gaze looked directly at the Azure Dragon that Kaido had transformed into.
Kaido narrowed his eyes and sized up this overly short guy.
His human form was over seven meters tall, but the Dunken before him was estimated to be only about 1.5 meters tall.
If it weren't for the other party standing on the back of a Flame Dragon about forty meters long.
Wanting to perceive the other party would indeed be somewhat difficult.
Of course, this is on the premise of not using Observation Haki for perception.
Looking at his aura, Dunken, this Chief God, is like a fire pillar soaring into the sky.
"Not bad, I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise..."
Kaido grinned with his dragon mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth.
"Although This Old Man doesn't want to be your enemy, but since I am a Chief God, I should naturally do my best to protect this world."
"Lord Azure Dragon, could you please accompany This Old Man to the sea surface to the west? There are many uninhabited islands there where we can combat to our hearts' content."
Dunken on the Flame Dragon's back sincerely made the request.
Kaido glanced down after hearing this. "Alright, lead the way."
If there were a group of ordinary Humans below, he probably wouldn't care.
After all, they are just a group of otherworlders who haven't joined the World Government yet.
Even if it were the Imperial Capital, it wouldn't matter.
But those Demi-humans are a bit different.
In his eyes, they are like figure models that he likes, so it's best to avoid them when fighting.
"Your Lordship is merciful, This Old Man is extremely grateful. If Your Lordship is defeated later, This Old Man will definitely spare your life!"
Dunken made the promise full of sincerity, but these words made Kaido laugh.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
However, he didn't say much either.
Silently followed the Flame Dragon below Dunken, flying towards the sea area to the west.
There are indeed many islets and reefs here. Dunken chose the largest one and landed.
"Go now, Bobaka, if This Old Man cannot return, help me protect the Dwarves."
Dunken jumped off the dragon's back and stroked the Flame Dragon's lowered head.
"Roar"
The Flame Dragon looked at him for a long time, then let out a low growl, flapped its dragon wings again, and flew towards the sky to the south.
"You're not letting it participate in the combat?"
Kaido, who had changed back from his Azure Dragon form to his human form, also landed on the ground, and seeing this scene, asked with some curiosity.
"That wouldn't be fair. The duels of our Dwarf Race can only be one-on-one." Dunken shook his head.
"Worororo~~~~"
Kaido immediately threw his head back and laughed heartily.
However, there was no longer mockery in his voice, but instead it was full of heroic spirit.
He was seen taking off the wine gourd from his waist, first taking a swig from it.
Then, throwing this gourd, which was considerably larger than Dunken, in front of the other party.
"Here, try this alcohol from the Sea Star World!"
"Thank you. This drink from the Otherworld, indeed, I haven't tasted it for several hundred years."
Dunken was seen having no hesitation either.
Immediately, using divine power to draw out the drink inside and pour it into his mouth.
"Hoo— Good wine! Strong enough!"
Dunken, with a face full of pleasure and comfort, then said regretfully:
"Unfortunately, This Old Man didn't bring the alcohol of our Dwarf Race, otherwise I would definitely let Your Lordship taste it."
"There will be a chance," Kaido said lightly.
"Of course there will be a chance. This Old Man's previous promise is definitely valid!"
Dunken raised the axe-hammer in his hand, burning with blazing fire, and emphasized in a deep voice.
[Zzzzzzz—]
However, the moment his voice fell.
Kaido's figure turned into a streak of purple lightning, appearing in front of Dunken.
The latter's pupils suddenly contracted, greatly startled in his heart. "So fast!"
At the same time, flashing with streaks of purple lightning and red light, the pitch-black great club.
carrying unimaginable terrifying force, violently smashed towards his body.
"Thunder Bagua!" Kaido's roar suddenly erupted.
[Boom——————]
The next moment.
This islet/reef with an area of nearly ten square kilometers.
Amidst the loud noise and flashing electric flash, was instantly torn into pieces.
