Chapter 101: Kaido Who Jumped into His Own Pit!
"??"
"??"
Charlotte Linlin on the Queen Mama Chanter and Edward Newgate on the Moby Dick were both stunned for a moment, then their gazes towards Kaido became strange, as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Hmph, this old man knew this kind of scene wouldn't be complete without a war maniac like you!"
Sengoku looked at the Blue Divine Dragon flying towards him, stepping on blazing Flame Clouds, unsurprised. Once again, with a buzzing sound, he burst forth with golden light, transforming into a giant Golden Great Buddha.
"Shockwave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly opened his massive right palm and slapped upwards. Immediately, an extremely powerful Shockwave pushed out layers of Air Current, erupting outwards.
"Bad Wind - Ha!"
Kaido opened his dragon mouth and spat out massive wind blades to meet the incoming pale golden Shockwave.
[Boom!!]
As the two collided, the former was actually shattered one by one by the latter with overwhelming force, heavily striking the Blue Divine Dragon's body, causing it to cry out in pain while being sent flying back.
"Too bad, you're not qualified to be arrogant in front of this old man!"
Suddenly, the Golden Great Buddha disappeared from the Warship, then instantly appeared high in the sky, above the Dragon. This was a demonstration of applying 'Shave' and 'Moonwalk' from the Six Powers to their extreme, allowing Sengoku's transformed, seemingly clumsy body to exhibit explosive Speed in Combat.
[Boom!]
This time, the Great Buddha didn't strike with palm force, but instead used a golden fist to heavily hammer the Dragon's head. With a loud Duang sound, Kaido was almost knocked senseless and plummeted heavily into the vast ocean below.
If this were an ordinary Ability User, they might sink to the Seabed due to becoming powerless, unable to swim, and unable to breathe.
But he was a Fish-Fish Fruit Ability User. Although he would still feel a Feeling of Powerlessness, he could breathe normally. Coupled with his powerful Haki and Physique, it was enough for him to still move and use his Ability for a short period.
The Blue Divine Dragon that Kaido had transformed into was seen using Armament Haki Emission on his Body Surface, separating the touching Seawater. Then, he rotated his long dragon body, spinning at high Speed like a top in a circular motion. Immediately, a surging Dragon Twister formed, swirling up a large amount of Seawater, while he himself flew out through the Eye of the Storm.
From an external perspective, it looked as if a giant vortex suddenly appeared beneath the Sea Surface, then this vortex swelled up, growing higher and higher, turning into a Water Dragon Twister connecting the water and the sky.
Its appearance directly sent several surrounding Pirate Ships flying. Only the Marines' Warships, relying on their large Volume and tonnage, could barely keep their hulls stable.
[Boom!!]
However, the Water Dragon Twister appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. A single palm Shockwave casually sent out by the Golden Great Buddha directly shattered it on the spot, adding several layers of water volume to the Heavy Rain between heaven and earth.
"Linlin—Whitebeard—"
Seeing the Golden Buddha, resembling an Arhat, charging towards him again, Kaido's mood immediately sank. He subconsciously looked towards his other two 'companions'.
In his opinion, this Great Sea Battle should have been a joint effort between the three of them, with BIG MOOM and Whitebeard as the main force, and him assisting from the side.
There was nothing he could do; his age was much younger compared to them, and his Fruit had only just Awakened a few days ago. His Strength was definitely not as good as those two.
He had rushed down earlier, driven by his drunkenness and impatience, only after seeing those two make their move, intending to create a central breakthrough and coordinate with the two outside.
Now that he and Sengoku had been fighting for so long, why was there no movement from over there?
"You! You guys..."
But when Kaido's gaze swept over, he was shocked to find that the Queen Mama Chanter and the Moby Dick were leaving. This scene made his dragon eyeballs almost pop out.
Whitebeard's side felt that they had already gotten their answer and there was no need to fight the Marines to the death. The key was that Garp and Sengoku were both there. If it weren't for them leading the Fleet, he might have considered taking away those two ships of Treasure.
As for Charlotte Linlin, she wasn't interested in Treasure at all. What was the point of having something you couldn't eat?
She came here to vent her anger. The 'Tenman Daijizaitenjin' move earlier had already caused considerable casualties to the Marines.
So, as soon as she saw the Whitebeard Pirates leaving, she immediately chose to return the way she came.
To be honest, if Edward Newgate really wanted to have a Great Sea Battle with the Marines, BIG MOOM would have been happy to join in.
But since he left, she didn't want to face Garp and Sengoku's combined force simultaneously. As for Kaido, he was still too green right now and couldn't be considered a peak Combat Power.
"Mama, with us and the Whitebeard Pirates retreating like this, Kaido won't be able to leave," the Eldest Son, Perospero, said with a playful smile, sticking out his long tongue.
Charlotte Linlin was overjoyed at this moment and laughed loudly, "Mamama, it's not the first time he's been caught. He'll always find a way to get out himself~~"
Ah, being able to trick that foolish younger brother like this, she didn't know why, but her Heart felt a little good. She wasn't worried at all that Kaido would just be finished like this.
That guy had been caught so many times before, and each time he couldn't die and managed to escape. She figured this time would be no problem either!
"But Mama, based on what I know, Kaido's previous captures were before his Ability Awakening."
Charlotte Katakuri looked seriously at the distant Battlefield and said in a deep voice.
"The Marines didn't imprison him in Impel Down either, only in a Branch here in the New World. And Kaido usually escapes by destroying the Prison Ship during transport, but this time..."
"Hmm?"
BIG MOOM was stunned after hearing these words, then secretly pondered. She didn't like thinking much, but she did care a little about that smelly younger brother, Kaido.
"That's right, if that kid gets caught this time, he'll be escorted by ten Warships led by Sengoku and Garp. The possibility of escaping during the journey is basically zero. So he'll be taken all the way to Mary Geoise, no, he'll return to Marineford with the Fleet. And next to Marineford is..."
After figuring it out, the big Woman's face became very awkward. She felt like she had really screwed Kaido over this time.
"Immediately contact Whitebeard and ask if he's willing to team up with me to rescue him!" Charlotte Linlin ordered, rubbing her slightly plump chin.
"Yes, Mama."
The fifth son, Opera, who served as the Minister of Cream, dragged his body covered in sticky cream to make the contact. Soon, he ran back and weakly relayed the message from the other side.
"Whitebeard said he's not familiar with Kaido and that if we want to rescue him, we should go ourselves..."
"Not familiar?"
Charlotte Linlin's head sprouted a large string of black lines, her eyes filled with anger. Wasn't that nonsense? They had known each other for decades, how could they not be familiar?
"What do we do now, Mama? If we go now, we'll have to face Sengoku and Garp simultaneously, as well as those two Admiral Candidates."
The Eldest Son, Perospero, cautiously observed BIG MOOM's gloomy face and reminded her, because he didn't really want to take risks for Kaido and was afraid she might act impulsively.
"Eh—"
Fortunately, Charlotte Linlin wasn't that foolish, nor was she suffering from Craving Sickness. She still had enough rationality. She just sighed.
"Mama, let him be. I don't think he'll die. At most, he'll be locked up for a few years and find a way to get out. He's not the kind of man whose story ends so easily."
