Chapter 1413: You've Gone Too Far, Kizaru! (Three Chapters Combined)
Amidst the seemingly endless, earth-shattering roars.
The time in the Sea Star World slowly crossed 11:59 PM on September 5th.
Officially arriving at 0:00 AM on September 6th.
At the same time, within Area RL1111, all sounds and commotions abruptly ceased.
This caused the people in the neighboring 'Duel City' to feel inexplicably abrupt and doubtful.
It was impossible to sleep at night due to the excessive noise in the past few days.
This led to most of the tourists who originally came to watch the Top 100 Competition leaving.
Only a group of Duelists who chose to continue participating in the Myriad Worlds Ranking Tournament remained.
Every day, while waiting for their Duels to begin, these people would learn about the general battle situation in Area RL1111 with the help of Mages.
They had now heard that an internal military Summit War was actually taking place inside.
That is, two top experts, powerful beyond imagination, were clashing, which was why there was such a terrifying scale.
It was a pity that the World Government did not live broadcast it to the public; only people within the military could watch.
And they could only listen to the Mages' descriptions.
"Hoo----"
On the scene, Hashirama Senju accurately timed it, stopping his offensive just in time.
At the same time, the hundred-meter-tall, golden-radiant Thousand-Hand Buddha dissipated.
How should one describe the scene before him at this moment?
Earth collapsing and ground sinking! Magma flowing everywhere!
No trace of any trees could be seen anymore, as if purgatory had descended upon the human world!
It was as if this Red Line had suffered continuous tactical nuclear missile explosions during the previous twenty-four hours.
It looked as miserable as could be.
In Hashirama Senju's eyes, in a large pit emitting hot smoke in the distance, lay a massive monster with a mix of blue and gold.
However, its blood-soaked and battered appearance was too pathetic, making it a shocking sight.
That was the Zinogre, also known as Ay.
Before, he was truly unable to resist, so he had to bite the bullet and transform into his Beast Form, which had the strongest defense, and then use Armament Haki to coat his entire body, gambling that he could last through the last day.
[Thump.]
A muffled sound rang out as Hashirama Senju landed in the pit where magma was everywhere, looking solemnly at the dying 'Zinogre'.
He could confirm that Ay was not dead.
And the scale from before, although it seemed terrifying, was actually holding back.
Most of the light punches basically landed in other places.
So, Ay only suffered the attack of one light punch and the shockwaves of the surrounding explosions each time.
"Raikage!"
"Raikage, are you still conscious?"
"If you are conscious, open your eyes and look at me!"
Hashirama Senju squatted down, placing his palm on the 'Zinogre''s face, shouting repeatedly.
Because as long as Ay was conscious, he could barely be considered to have passed this Summit War.
But if he completely fainted, then it was over; he would have to wait four years to try again.
"Stand up!"
"Aren't you the strongest Raikage in the Ninja World? Didn't you want to be called 'Kage' alongside me and Madara!"
"You can't even bear a mere fatal injury, and you can't open your eyes?"
"Don't joke around, you are a ninja recognized by me, Hashirama Senju!!!"
The more Hashirama Senju spoke, the angrier he got, and the more anxious he became.
The action of hitting the 'Zinogre''s face began to make 'slapping' sounds.
But Ay still remained motionless, which made Hashirama Senju feel uneasy.
At the same time, he regretted being too heavy-handed earlier, although if he were to do it again, it would probably still be the same.
[Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—]
Just when all the big shots watching the battle began to feel regret for Ay.
Suddenly, a large amount of pale blue light spots flew out from inside the 'Zinogre'.
At the same time, some sounds of electricity arcing appeared in the air.
They were like starlight, and also like fireflies, very beautiful and ethereal.
This aroused Hashirama Senju's surprise, and he immediately stood up and slowly retreated.
At this time, he had already exited the 'All Creation Body' state, and his eyes had returned to their usual pupils.
But now they turned into Three-Tomoe Sharingan again, because he wanted to see clearly what these light spots were?
As expected, the insight of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was indeed excellent.
It instantly allowed him to see tiny bodies vaguely existing within the electrical discharge.
Flying insects?!
Hashirama Senju didn't expect these to be insects even smaller than the Aburame Clan's Kikaichu.
And the next scene that occurred astonished him.
Those light spots flying all over the sky actually circled back in the air before actively sticking to the 'Zinogre''s body surface, and then simultaneously emitting light and generating electricity!
More than half of the 'Zinogre''s body was instantly enveloped by dazzling electrical light.
This aroused the interest of Im, the Five Elders, Garp, Sengoku, and others.
Were those dense light spots saving Ay?
"Thunderbugs... This has actually become the Zinogre Fruit's power?"
Im murmured to himself in the study room, finding this very interesting.
The Imperial Arms World brought him more and more surprises.
Fortunately, after the Reverie ended, he would open the Imperial Arms World Star Gate, allowing civilian adventurers to flood in.
They would extensively explore the uninhabited areas that even The Empire dared not easily step into, and even another continent they had never thought of.
Yes, Im discovered that on the Imperial Arms World planet.
Besides the continent where The Empire, Alchemy Kingdom, and Holy Island Nation were located, there was another continent and a vast ecology on the other side of the ocean.
But he did not plan to let the World Government dispatch official troops.
Instead, he would hand it over to Doflamingo's Adventurer's Guild to take the lead.
Anyway, the Imperial Arms World was already in his grasp; no matter what result came out, it could be easily solved.
And what kind of trouble could arise? Elder Dragons, according to The Empire's classification, were merely Special-Grade Danger Beasts.
Of course, there might also be Super Dangerous Beast level Elder Dragons hidden among them, but that didn't matter...
On the other side.
At the Summit War site, Hashirama Senju witnessed the process of the 'Zinogre''s massive body rapidly shrinking in the intense electrical discharge until it turned into human form.
Then, Ay really slowly opened his eyes, looking at Hashirama Senju with some confusion.
But this confusion was fleeting, and his gaze immediately became sharp.
However, just as he was about to stand up and defend, the severe pain from his entire body forcibly stopped his movements.
"Er ah--------"
Hashirama Senju looked speechlessly at Ay lying on the ground and screaming.
If even such a resolute and strong man was like this, one could imagine how much pain he was currently enduring.
But thankfully, he successfully woke up, which counted as passing the assessment.
"Eh..."
Hashirama Senju couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he walked over, squatted down, and placed his palm on Ay's abdomen.
He input his Yang Release Chakra into him, and immediately a green radiance appeared on his hand.
This was his Medical Ninjutsu, simple and direct, but the effect was definitely better than the Mystical Palm Technique.
As expected, with the transmission of Chakra, Ay's pain quickly eased.
"You..."
Ay's expression relaxed, and his gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Hashirama Senju knew what he was thinking, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Congratulations, please take care of me in the future, Raikage!"
Ay was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he gritted his teeth and said, "Next time... Next time we fight, I will definitely win, don't you get complacent!"
"Hahahaha, of course, I will always walk ahead of you and Madara!"
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily while treating him.
His laughter, with the help of the wind, gradually echoed across this battlefield.
The first Summit War thus came to an end, and the Sea Ninja Village gained another 'Raikage'.
An hour later.
Without any host or referee.
The challenger and the challenged for the second Summit War arrived here.
Since no one came to restore the scene, the environment here was still like purgatory.
Looking around, there were large areas of scorched earth, gradually cooling magma, and large and small craters.
Momonga, wearing a white Coat of Justice, a purple and white striped suit paired with a dark blue shirt and white tie.
Stepped on shiny black leather boots, carrying a katana at his waist, standing on the still warm scorched earth.
He looked solemnly at the terrifying figure in the distance.
The current New Marine Headquarters Admiral, also wearing a white Coat of Justice, 'Azure Dragon' Kaido!
It is worth mentioning that with the Air Force and Marines merging into one, forming the New Navy facing the cosmos.
The blue Coat of Justice originally designed for Air Force officers has officially withdrawn from history.
All officers and commanders of the current New Navy wear white Coats of Justice.
However, recently, someone within the military proposed that the blue Coat of Justice might be given to the officers and commanders of the Star Realm Army.
This is still under discussion...
"Then let me experience firsthand how powerful the so-called Admiral-level combat power is."
Momonga gripped the katana hilt and thought to himself.
He could actually feel that the difference in strength between him and Kaido was vast.
But he didn't want to miss the opportunity to challenge every four years, so he still signed up for the Summit War.
After all, being able to fight with powerful opponents with full strength is also a rare training opportunity.
"You... shouldn't be standing here."
Kaido, after glancing at Momonga, frowned and said coldly.
Although he hadn't made a move yet, the feeling Momonga gave him was that he probably couldn't beat even Enel, let alone Abel Ruby.
In his opinion, Military Commodores should at least have strength comparable to Enel.
But now Enel is a Vice Admiral, while this Momonga is a Commodore, which Kaido found somewhat laughable.
"..."
Momonga's expression became somewhat awkward upon hearing such direct words, but he pursed his lips, not knowing how to reply.
Actually, his rate of growth was already very fast.
At the age of thirty, he possessed strength comparable to veteran Vice Admirals in their forties or fifties, which meant he had the 'Future Strength' eighteen years in advance.
It was just that being a Commodore was indeed a bit forced.
Mainly, there were few promising individuals in the Marines before.
At that time, Sengoku and Zephyr didn't want all the Commodores to be of Pirate Origin or outsiders.
So they promoted this group of seemingly good Vice Admirals—Momonga, Onigumo, and Yamakaji.
At this moment, Kaido's words also made Kong, Sengoku, and Zephyr, who were watching the battle, feel unhappy.
"Eh, fine, since things have come to this, then in this battle, let this old man teach you."
Kaido shook his head, smashing the incredibly heavy kanabo in his hand onto the scorched earth beside him, then crossed his arms over his chest, looking coldly at Momonga in the distance.
"For the next three minutes, use your full strength to attack. After three minutes, this old man will make a move three times."
"If you can't withstand even one attack, then you should voluntarily resign from being a Commodore. If you can withstand two attacks, then continue to serve. If you can withstand three attacks, this old man will admit that you have the potential to reach Commodore-level combat power!"
At this moment, Momonga's expression turned completely ashen, he gripped the katana hilt tightly, gritting his teeth and glaring at Kaido in rage.
To humiliate him like this...
Standing still and letting him attack for three minutes? Damn it, I'll make you regret it!
"Then, it would be disrespectful not to accept!"
The next second, with a crisp 'clang', Momonga instantly drew the Meito from his waist.
Armament Haki quickly coated it in black, emitting a metallic black sheen under the sunlight.
In an instant, the black blade he swung rapidly swept across the void, immediately forming a flying slash seven or eight meters high in front of him.
It cut through all the scorched earth and magma along the way, pressing towards Kaido, who was standing in his original spot maintaining his posture, with great force.
This single strike was enough to kill a thousand-meter-class Sea King, and also enough to frontally block a Tailed Beast Bomb!
However.
Momonga's attack was not over.
Under the influence of anger, he once again swung horizontally with full strength, unleashing a second sweeping flying slash, forming a 'cross-shaped attack' with the first slash.
He wanted Kaido to pay a price in blood for his contempt!
Momonga didn't believe he didn't even have the ability to injure Kaido.
For this Summit War, he was fully armed, wearing a 'Kabane Combat Suit' inside his shirt.
He wore the 'Minister's Tool: Crushing King' on his arm, which could increase punching strength.
He wore the 'Minister's Tool: You Zhi Pants' on his ankle, which could increase leg strength.
Even the sword in his hand was the 'Water Dragon Sword', which could fully improve physical capabilities within three minutes after activation.
It's worth noting that ordinary Imperial Arms Worlders could at most withstand the side effect brought by one Minister's Tool, but Momonga was currently wearing three!
[Boom!!!]
The 'cross-shaped slash' emitting pale blue radiance hit Kaido, causing him to instantly be submerged in the erupting torrent of energy.
After a moment, peace was restored.
Thick smoke and dust spread across the field, and although the person was still not visible, Momonga's spirits had already sunk to the bottom.
Because he didn't feel Kaido's presence change in the slightest.
Indeed, when the smoke dissipated, Kaido, with his arms crossed over his chest, was still looking at him expressionlessly.
Let alone wounds, even the black suit and Coat of Justice on his body were not damaged in the slightest.
What made Momonga most despair was that Kaido not only didn't use his Azure Dragon Fruit power, but also didn't use Armament Haki hardening to protect his body.
He just let the invisible Armament Haki casually coat his body!
"Stop wasting time with flying slashes, you should have learned 'Ryuo' by now, come up and cut..." Kaido reminded in a deep voice.
"Alright—, then I won't be polite!"
Momonga gritted his teeth, suppressing his rage.
His entire figure instantly turned into a white afterimage, rushing in front of Kaido and stabbing with the blackened 'Water Dragon' Sword Edge.
The surface of this sword flowed with cherry-red radiance, looking incredibly vibrant, but it had the effect of attacking the inside by penetrating the surface layer.
And this time, Kaido finally used Armament Haki hardening on his entire body.
[Clang!!!]
The cherry-red black sword hit three centimeters in front of Kaido's chest with an ear-piercing sound of rushing air.
It was as if there was a transparent barrier, making it difficult for Momonga's sword edge to advance further.
Only the cherry-red energy at the tip of the sword was struggling to move inward.
But no matter how he concentrated the Haki from other parts.
Ultimately, his Ryuo only touched the blackened surface on Kaido's chest.
"How can this be... The difference is actually this large..." Momonga murmured in disbelief.
His full-power strike was actually unable to break through Kaido's Haki defense!
And even if he broke through, what then?
Kaido's own physical strength was already comparable to their state using 'Iron Body'.
If he transformed into a 'hybrid form', it would be even more terrifying!
"Hehe..."
Momonga suddenly let out a bitter smile, then withdrew his Sword Edge and retreated about ten meters.
"Giving up?" Kaido asked coldly.
Momonga nodded: "Yes, I give up on continuing the attack, but I want to try if I can take your attack!"
Kaido saw the determination in Momonga's eyes and was finally somewhat satisfied.
If the opponent completely gave up, then in his eyes, he was a waste.
"Wororororo~"
"Good, this old man likes your gaze, so this is the first attack!"
[Crackling--------]
The moment Kaido, laughing heartily, picked up his kanabo, a large amount of purple lightning surged on its surface.
Momonga knew that was Conqueror's Haki coating, and also Armament Haki hardening.
However, the kanabo itself was black, so it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
[Boom!]
When Kaido made a move, a fierce wind and deafening sonic boom immediately erupted across the field.
And he himself had already turned into a flash of purple lightning, appearing before Momonga, who was clenching his teeth tightly.
"Thunder Bagua!"
The huge kanabo coated in purple lightning directly smashed onto the 'Minister's Tool: Water Dragon Sword' that Momonga was holding in front of him trying to defend.
[Dong--------]
An earth-shattering clash exploded, and Momonga, along with the scorched earth beneath his feet, was sent flying by this irresistible force.
[Bang bang bang bang...]
Momonga's body kept rolling, bouncing, and rolling on the ground.
He finally stopped two kilometers away after carving out a visible trench, collapsing in the shattered pit.
Blood overflowed from his mouth, staining the purple and white suit in front of him.
Even the 'Minister's Tool: Water Dragon Sword' tightly held in his hand was covered in cracks.
If he hadn't used Armament Haki hardening, it should have been shattered by one strike by now.
"Cough cough... I wonder if this counts as taking one attack..."
Momonga used the katana to prop himself up, standing up with a painful face, saying with a bitter smile as if comforting himself.
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Kaido once again turned into purple lightning, appearing before him with immense presence.
"It counts!"
"But after experiencing the first attack, are you still prepared to take the stronger second attack?"
Momonga's figure slightly bent, holding the katana with both hands, fearlessly facing Kaido, who was like a demon god, and shouted loudly:
"Of course, I don't want to resign from being a Commodore, that would be too embarrassing."
"Even if you die?" Kaido said coldly.
"If I were afraid of death, how could I be a Marine?" Momonga laughed:
"Back then, I charged at monsters like you on the sea with the resolve to die in battle!"
"Don't underestimate the justice of the Marines, you rookie who just joined!"
Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and others saw this scene and heard these words.
Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were filled with appreciation; they hadn't misjudged him.
Army Headquarters, White Whale Admiral's Office.
Edward Newgate looked speechlessly at the empty sofa opposite him, and the senbei packaging bag left there, not yet finished eating...
"Wororororo~"
Kaido laughed heartily: "The justice of the Marines, huh? But you are so weak. How will you execute it against a monster like this old man?"
"Even if you don't die here today, you will die on a future battlefield sooner or later, perhaps in the cold cosmos, or in a strange otherworld!"
Momonga remained unshaken and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as the Coat of Justice is draped over my corpse, that's enough..."
Hearing this, Kaido fell silent, staring coldly at Momonga, while Momonga met his gaze resolutely.
"Come on, your second attack, I will take it!"
"As you wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido's body began to undergo drastic changes.
His body size was expanding, becoming taller, blue dragon scales began to appear on his body, and four sharp dragon horns grew on his head.
A thick dragon tail swung out from behind him, and his face looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
And Momonga clearly felt Kaido's presence rapidly increasing, representing that his strength also became more terrifying.
"Thunder Bagua!!"
[Boom--------]
Kaido once again used his classic technique, but it was faster, fiercer, and more terrifying than before!
The earth was trembling, the air was boiling, and purple lightning spread across the sky.
But most of the force was poured onto Momonga and the 'Water Dragon Sword' in his hand.
In this instant.
Momonga seemed to see a huge 'Death' character behind Kaido.
"Ahhhhh!"
But even when facing death, he mustered the courage in his chest and swung his katana forward.
[Clang--------]
However, in the face of an overly vast difference in strength, courage seemed so insignificant.
This time, the Water Dragon Sword shattered into countless fragments on the spot, even with Armament Haki.
And Momonga himself was sent flying backward like a cannonball, a series of sonic booms exploding in the air.
"Tch, it's you again..."
Kaido inwardly complained, and at the same time withdrew the kanabo in his hand.
The moment he touched the Water Dragon Sword, he clearly felt an abnormal resistance.
Although the process was extremely short, it still absorbed nearly half of the impact for Momonga.
But Kaido maintained a natural appearance on the surface, not showing any reaction to this.
Who told him he owed the other party a favor...
"Hmph, under this attack, if he didn't die, he should have gained quite a bit. I hope he's not so weak next time we meet, after all, he's a Commodore!"
He didn't know who he was speaking to, but after Kaido finished, he turned and transformed into a majestic Azure Dragon, flying away from the battlefield.
Because Momonga, who had been beaten almost to the edge of Area RL1111.
At this moment, he had completely rolled his eyes back and fallen unconscious, so the result was naturally clear.
Kaido was preparing to go to Divine Dragon Island over Wano Island, to continue talking with that Kamishin Old Dragon.
No matter what, he had to persuade the other party to give him a can of dragon blood.
After all, the World Government didn't allow the use of force, so he could only patiently wear them down...
An hour later.
The third Summit War began, the challenger was Yamakaji, and the challenged was Borsalino.
Yamakaji had a gentle personality, often wore a smile, and was deeply trusted by Tsuru.
Because their personalities matched, their relationship was quite good.
This caused Borsalino, with his hands in his pockets, to casually suggest to him:
"If you really want to be an Admiral, we can fight slowly, you know..."
Yamakaji, with a smoking cigar in his mouth, laughed:
"No, like Momonga, I just want to personally experience the gap with Admiral-level combat power!"
"Is that so--------"
Borsalino raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll finish this quickly, the smell here is really unpleasant..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire figure instantly turned into a flash of golden light, appearing in the high altitude.
And immediately formed a 'four-pointed star' as dazzling as the sun.
"Yasakani no Magatama--------"
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh]
In an instant, the sky of the entire Area RL1111 was directly covered by dense flash bombs.
"This?!"
Yamakaji looked up at this scene, dumbfounded, and the cigar in his mouth unconsciously dropped to the ground.
This isn't right, is it?
Normally, shouldn't they first clash blades, have a sparring match?
Where does one start with an ultimate move, a saturation attack, right from the get-go!
You've gone too far, Kizaru!
Just over an hour later, the third Summit War ended...
(End of this chapter)
Amidst the seemingly endless, earth-shattering roars.
The time in the Sea Star World slowly crossed 11:59 PM on September 5th.
Officially arriving at 0:00 AM on September 6th.
At the same time, within Area RL1111, all sounds and commotions abruptly ceased.

Most of the light punches basically landed in other places.
So, Ay only suffered the attack of one light punch and the shockwaves of the surrounding explosions each time.
"Raikage!"
"Raikage, are you still conscious?"
"If you are conscious, open your eyes and look at me!"
Hashirama Senju squatted down, placing his palm on the 'Zinogre''s face, shouting repeatedly.
Because as long as Ay was conscious, he could barely be considered to have passed this Summit War.
But if he completely fainted, then it was over; he would have to wait four years to try again.
"Stand up!"
"Aren't you the strongest Raikage in the Ninja World? Didn't you want to be called 'Kage' alongside me and Madara!"
"You can't even bear a mere fatal injury, and you can't open your eyes?"
"Don't joke around, you are a ninja recognized by me, Hashirama Senju!!!"
The more Hashirama Senju spoke, the angrier he got, and the more anxious he became.
The action of hitting the 'Zinogre''s face began to make 'slapping' sounds.

[Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—]

"Congratulations, please take care of me in the future, Raikage!"
Ay was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he gritted his teeth and said, "Next time... Next time we fight, I will definitely win, don't you get complacent!"
"Hahahaha, of course, I will always walk ahead of you and Madara!"
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily while treating him.
His laughter, with the help of the wind, gradually echoed across this battlefield.
The first Summit War thus came to an end, and the Sea Ninja Village gained another 'Raikage'.

Stepped on shiny black leather boots, carrying a katana at his waist, standing on the still warm scorched earth.
He looked solemnly at the terrifying figure in the distance.
The current New Marine Headquarters Admiral, also wearing a white Coat of Justice, 'Azure Dragon' Kaido!
It is worth mentioning that with the Air Force and Marines merging into one, forming the New Navy facing the cosmos.

"You... shouldn't be standing here."
Kaido, after glancing at Momonga, frowned and said coldly.
Although he hadn't made a move yet, the feeling Momonga gave him was that he probably couldn't beat even Enel, let alone Abel Ruby.
In his opinion, Military Commodores should at least have strength comparable to Enel.
But now Enel is a Vice Admiral, while this Momonga is a Commodore, which Kaido found somewhat laughable.
"..."
Momonga's expression became somewhat awkward upon hearing such direct words, but he pursed his lips, not knowing how to reply.
Actually, his rate of growth was already very fast.
At the age of thirty, he possessed strength comparable to veteran Vice Admirals in their forties or fifties, which meant he had the 'Future Strength' eighteen years in advance.
It was just that being a Commodore was indeed a bit forced.
Mainly, there were few promising individuals in the Marines before.
At that time, Sengoku and Zephyr didn't want all the Commodores to be of Pirate Origin or outsiders.
So they promoted this group of seemingly good Vice Admirals—Momonga, Onigumo, and Yamakaji.
At this moment, Kaido's words also made Kong, Sengoku, and Zephyr, who were watching the battle, feel unhappy.
"Eh, fine, since things have come to this, then in this battle, let this old man teach you."
Kaido shook his head, smashing the incredibly heavy kanabo in his hand onto the scorched earth beside him, then crossed his arms over his chest, looking coldly at Momonga in the distance.
"For the next three minutes, use your full strength to attack. After three minutes, this old man will make a move three times."
"If you can't withstand even one attack, then you should voluntarily resign from being a Commodore. If you can withstand two attacks, then continue to serve. If you can withstand three attacks, this old man will admit that you have the potential to reach Commodore-level combat power!"
At this moment, Momonga's expression turned completely ashen, he gripped the katana hilt tightly, gritting his teeth and glaring at Kaido in rage.
To humiliate him like this...
Standing still and letting him attack for three minutes? Damn it, I'll make you regret it!
"Then, it would be disrespectful not to accept!"
The next second, with a crisp 'clang', Momonga instantly drew the Meito from his waist.
Armament Haki quickly coated it in black, emitting a metallic black sheen under the sunlight.
In an instant, the black blade he swung rapidly swept across the void, immediately forming a flying slash seven or eight meters high in front of him.
It cut through all the scorched earth and magma along the way, pressing towards Kaido, who was standing in his original spot maintaining his posture, with great force.
This single strike was enough to kill a thousand-meter-class Sea King, and also enough to frontally block a Tailed Beast Bomb!
However.
Momonga's attack was not over.
Under the influence of anger, he once again swung horizontally with full strength, unleashing a second sweeping flying slash, forming a 'cross-shaped attack' with the first slash.
He wanted Kaido to pay a price in blood for his contempt!
Momonga didn't believe he didn't even have the ability to injure Kaido.
For this Summit War, he was fully armed, wearing a 'Kabane Combat Suit' inside his shirt.
He wore the 'Minister's Tool: Crushing King' on his arm, which could increase punching strength.
He wore the 'Minister's Tool: You Zhi Pants' on his ankle, which could increase leg strength.
Even the sword in his hand was the 'Water Dragon Sword', which could fully improve physical capabilities within three minutes after activation.
It's worth noting that ordinary Imperial Arms Worlders could at most withstand the side effect brought by one Minister's Tool, but Momonga was currently wearing three!
[Boom!!!]
The 'cross-shaped slash' emitting pale blue radiance hit Kaido, causing him to instantly be submerged in the erupting torrent of energy.
After a moment, peace was restored.
Thick smoke and dust spread across the field, and although the person was still not visible, Momonga's spirits had already sunk to the bottom.
Because he didn't feel Kaido's presence change in the slightest.
Indeed, when the smoke dissipated, Kaido, with his arms crossed over his chest, was still looking at him expressionlessly.
Let alone wounds, even the black suit and Coat of Justice on his body were not damaged in the slightest.
What made Momonga most despair was that Kaido not only didn't use his Azure Dragon Fruit power, but also didn't use Armament Haki hardening to protect his body.
He just let the invisible Armament Haki casually coat his body!
"Stop wasting time with flying slashes, you should have learned 'Ryuo' by now, come up and cut..." Kaido reminded in a deep voice.
"Alright—, then I won't be polite!"
Momonga gritted his teeth, suppressing his rage.
His entire figure instantly turned into a white afterimage, rushing in front of Kaido and stabbing with the blackened 'Water Dragon' Sword Edge.
The surface of this sword flowed with cherry-red radiance, looking incredibly vibrant, but it had the effect of attacking the inside by penetrating the surface layer.
And this time, Kaido finally used Armament Haki hardening on his entire body.
[Clang!!!]
The cherry-red black sword hit three centimeters in front of Kaido's chest with an ear-piercing sound of rushing air.
It was as if there was a transparent barrier, making it difficult for Momonga's sword edge to advance further.
Only the cherry-red energy at the tip of the sword was struggling to move inward.
But no matter how he concentrated the Haki from other parts.
Ultimately, his Ryuo only touched the blackened surface on Kaido's chest.
"How can this be... The difference is actually this large..." Momonga murmured in disbelief.
His full-power strike was actually unable to break through Kaido's Haki defense!
And even if he broke through, what then?
Kaido's own physical strength was already comparable to their state using 'Iron Body'.
If he transformed into a 'hybrid form', it would be even more terrifying!
"Hehe..."
Momonga suddenly let out a bitter smile, then withdrew his Sword Edge and retreated about ten meters.
"Giving up?" Kaido asked coldly.
Momonga nodded: "Yes, I give up on continuing the attack, but I want to try if I can take your attack!"
Kaido saw the determination in Momonga's eyes and was finally somewhat satisfied.
If the opponent completely gave up, then in his eyes, he was a waste.
"Wororororo~"
"Good, this old man likes your gaze, so this is the first attack!"
[Crackling--------]
The moment Kaido, laughing heartily, picked up his kanabo, a large amount of purple lightning surged on its surface.
Momonga knew that was Conqueror's Haki coating, and also Armament Haki hardening.
However, the kanabo itself was black, so it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
[Boom!]
When Kaido made a move, a fierce wind and deafening sonic boom immediately erupted across the field.
And he himself had already turned into a flash of purple lightning, appearing before Momonga, who was clenching his teeth tightly.
"Thunder Bagua!"
The huge kanabo coated in purple lightning directly smashed onto the 'Minister's Tool: Water Dragon Sword' that Momonga was holding in front of him trying to defend.
[Dong--------]
An earth-shattering clash exploded, and Momonga, along with the scorched earth beneath his feet, was sent flying by this irresistible force.
[Bang bang bang bang...]
Momonga's body kept rolling, bouncing, and rolling on the ground.
He finally stopped two kilometers away after carving out a visible trench, collapsing in the shattered pit.
Blood overflowed from his mouth, staining the purple and white suit in front of him.
Even the 'Minister's Tool: Water Dragon Sword' tightly held in his hand was covered in cracks.
If he hadn't used Armament Haki hardening, it should have been shattered by one strike by now.
"Cough cough... I wonder if this counts as taking one attack..."
Momonga used the katana to prop himself up, standing up with a painful face, saying with a bitter smile as if comforting himself.
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Kaido once again turned into purple lightning, appearing before him with immense presence.
"It counts!"
"But after experiencing the first attack, are you still prepared to take the stronger second attack?"
Momonga's figure slightly bent, holding the katana with both hands, fearlessly facing Kaido, who was like a demon god, and shouted loudly:
"Of course, I don't want to resign from being a Commodore, that would be too embarrassing."
"Even if you die?" Kaido said coldly.
"If I were afraid of death, how could I be a Marine?" Momonga laughed:
"Back then, I charged at monsters like you on the sea with the resolve to die in battle!"
"Don't underestimate the justice of the Marines, you rookie who just joined!"
Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and others saw this scene and heard these words.
Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were filled with appreciation; they hadn't misjudged him.
Army Headquarters, White Whale Admiral's Office.
Edward Newgate looked speechlessly at the empty sofa opposite him, and the senbei packaging bag left there, not yet finished eating...
"Wororororo~"
Kaido laughed heartily: "The justice of the Marines, huh? But you are so weak. How will you execute it against a monster like this old man?"
"Even if you don't die here today, you will die on a future battlefield sooner or later, perhaps in the cold cosmos, or in a strange otherworld!"
Momonga remained unshaken and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as the Coat of Justice is draped over my corpse, that's enough..."
Hearing this, Kaido fell silent, staring coldly at Momonga, while Momonga met his gaze resolutely.
"Come on, your second attack, I will take it!"
"As you wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido's body began to undergo drastic changes.
His body size was expanding, becoming taller, blue dragon scales began to appear on his body, and four sharp dragon horns grew on his head.
A thick dragon tail swung out from behind him, and his face looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
And Momonga clearly felt Kaido's presence rapidly increasing, representing that his strength also became more terrifying.
"Thunder Bagua!!"
[Boom--------]
Kaido once again used his classic technique, but it was faster, fiercer, and more terrifying than before!
The earth was trembling, the air was boiling, and purple lightning spread across the sky.
But most of the force was poured onto Momonga and the 'Water Dragon Sword' in his hand.
In this instant.
Momonga seemed to see a huge 'Death' character behind Kaido.
"Ahhhhh!"
But even when facing death, he mustered the courage in his chest and swung his katana forward.
[Clang--------]
However, in the face of an overly vast difference in strength, courage seemed so insignificant.
This time, the Water Dragon Sword shattered into countless fragments on the spot, even with Armament Haki.
And Momonga himself was sent flying backward like a cannonball, a series of sonic booms exploding in the air.
"Tch, it's you again..."
Kaido inwardly complained, and at the same time withdrew the kanabo in his hand.
The moment he touched the Water Dragon Sword, he clearly felt an abnormal resistance.
Although the process was extremely short, it still absorbed nearly half of the impact for Momonga.
But Kaido maintained a natural appearance on the surface, not showing any reaction to this.
Who told him he owed the other party a favor...
"Hmph, under this attack, if he didn't die, he should have gained quite a bit. I hope he's not so weak next time we meet, after all, he's a Commodore!"
He didn't know who he was speaking to, but after Kaido finished, he turned and transformed into a majestic Azure Dragon, flying away from the battlefield.
Because Momonga, who had been beaten almost to the edge of Area RL1111.
At this moment, he had completely rolled his eyes back and fallen unconscious, so the result was naturally clear.
Kaido was preparing to go to Divine Dragon Island over Wano Island, to continue talking with that Kamishin Old Dragon.
No matter what, he had to persuade the other party to give him a can of dragon blood.
After all, the World Government didn't allow the use of force, so he could only patiently wear them down...
An hour later.
The third Summit War began, the challenger was Yamakaji, and the challenged was Borsalino.
Yamakaji had a gentle personality, often wore a smile, and was deeply trusted by Tsuru.
Because their personalities matched, their relationship was quite good.
This caused Borsalino, with his hands in his pockets, to casually suggest to him:
"If you really want to be an Admiral, we can fight slowly, you know..."
Yamakaji, with a smoking cigar in his mouth, laughed:
"No, like Momonga, I just want to personally experience the gap with Admiral-level combat power!"
"Is that so--------"
Borsalino raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll finish this quickly, the smell here is really unpleasant..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire figure instantly turned into a flash of golden light, appearing in the high altitude.
And immediately formed a 'four-pointed star' as dazzling as the sun.
"Yasakani no Magatama--------"
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh]
In an instant, the sky of the entire Area RL1111 was directly covered by dense flash bombs.
"This?!"
Yamakaji looked up at this scene, dumbfounded, and the cigar in his mouth unconsciously dropped to the ground.
This isn't right, is it?
Normally, shouldn't they first clash blades, have a sparring match?
Where does one start with an ultimate move, a saturation attack, right from the get-go!
You've gone too far, Kizaru!
Just over an hour later, the third Summit War ended...
