The roaring sound spread throughout the Land of Wano, shaking the island itself.
Countless people looked towards Onigashima with fear and confusion...
The battlefield of Onigashima.
A massive pit appeared on the ground.
Kaido held a black and red lightning in his left hand, flickering and twisting like a thunderous whip.
It was imbued with Haki, like a chain, connecting to the sunken golden shield below.
His right hand gripped the Hassaikai, pressing down on the golden shield with all his might, as if to shatter it.
Meanwhile, the golden shield, infused with pitch-black Haki, resisted the immense force while rapidly turning red...
BOOM——！！！！
A mushroom cloud rose.
The compressed current detonated, the colossal shockwave directly blasting Kaido back a considerable distance.
But he quickly stabilized himself, the lightning wrapped around his left hand with Haki, increasing its output, and tightly ensnaring Enel.
*Swish——*
He pushed aside the rubble that had fallen on him.
Blood flowed from Enel's mouth, pupils, and ears, a horrifying sight:
"Cough cough...."
His right arm hung limply, the dive-bomb attack from ten thousand meters high had directly snapped it.
However, he gripped it at the broken end with his left hand, stimulating his flesh with electricity, and combined with his Life Return technique, his body thinned slightly, temporarily healing the bones of his right arm so it could move.
If he wanted it to be completely whole, he would need more time to recover, but clearly, he couldn't afford that now...
The Haki-infused lightning wrapped around his left arm had not dissipated, making it troublesome to escape. Kaido's Haki was far more powerful than Enel's.
The black and red lightning, imbued with Kaido's Haki, bound Enel, preventing him from elementalizing.
He had to break this lightning chain first to escape, or continue fighting...
He shook his left arm, attempting to use his ability to counteract it, but it had no effect. Enel wiped the blood from his lips:
"A complete miscalculation."
"He didn't go outside..."
Not far away.
Kaido also shook his left arm, increasing his Haki output, the lightning chain tightly gripping Enel:
"Very good, brat."
"You can still move."
"If I kill you, Sakazuki will surely go mad."
"Rororororo."
Enel condensed electricity in his right hand, the shattered golden shield melting into a golden staff:
"Trying to provoke Uncle Sakazuki."
"That's not a wise choice."
"Kaido."
Kaido's dragon eyes glared, a cruel smile on his lips:
"Just as I intended."
His Haki surged, erupting outwards like tangible flames.
He stamped his foot.
The ground cracked, and Kaido, in his hybrid form, brandishing Hassaikai imbued with Conqueror's Haki, left a long trail of lightning as he charged at Enel:
"THUNDER!
BAGGED!
ROAR!!!"
Enel scoffed, gripping the golden staff with both hands, also imbued with Conqueror's Haki, and met the attack with a flash of lightning.
The two weapons collided, accompanied by an explosion of lightning.
After a moment of stalemate, Enel was at a disadvantage.
His right arm couldn't exert full force, and he broke out in a cold sweat as he retreated.
Kaido grinned menacingly and pursued, the lightning connecting their left arms like the chains of death... they would only dissipate when one was completely dead.
*Clang!*
Kaido's Hassaikai sent Enel flying backwards.
Intense energy gathered, aimed at the retreating Enel:
"HEAT-RAGNAROK!!!"
A pillar of fiery energy, carrying the aura of destruction, shot directly at Enel.
Enel, flying backward, held his golden staff towards the approaching energy pillar, and electricity erupted.
He remelted it into a golden shield, imbued it with Haki, and braced himself.
At the same time, a few drops of golden liquid fell, floating into his left palm and spinning rapidly, like a golden ring.
BOOM!!!
The Heat-Ragnarok collided with the golden shield. Enel grunted, blood trickling from his lips, but his movements were not slow. He flicked his left hand!
The rapidly spinning golden droplets traced a perfect arc, swirling around the Heat-Ragnarok, and shot towards Kaido's head.
Kaido's dragon eyes narrowed. It was too late to dodge, so he instantly imbued his body with dense Haki.
The golden droplets, reaching him, exploded with intense light, and blue lightning burst and spun, expanding like a cyclone.
BOOM——！！！！
The thunderous storm spun.
Its outward expansion was unstoppable, and even Enel was caught in its maelstrom.
On the other side of the explosion.
Countless emerald-green wind blades shot out, imbued with Haki, slashing through the expanding explosion, tearing it apart and forcefully halting its spread.
The numerous turbulent currents clashed, but they also stopped the two fighters in their tracks.
The lightning connecting them, which was about to dissipate, was reinforced by Kaido, who had stabilized himself.
Enel's brow furrowed. Part of his golden shield had been melted into droplets, distributed to his left hand.
It was too late to lament the golden material, which had been nurtured with Haki for years and could store high-voltage electricity. If he held back... he might truly die here.
Kaido, in the distance, swung his Hassaikai several times.
Pillars of energy crushed everything in their path, rushing towards Enel.
The sky filled with pillars of energy, seemingly blocking all escape routes.
Enel pointed his hand to the sky, and a bolt of lightning shot out:
"THOUSAND LIGHTNINGS."
The lightning spread through the dark clouds above Onigashima, forming a thunderous sky.
Pillars of lightning shot down from above, striking the incoming pillars of energy, creating a continuous barrage of explosions that formed a barrier between them.
ROAR——
A vast, ancient roar.
An enormous azure dragon shot straight into the sky. Even through the fiery barrier created by the explosions, half of its colossal body was visible.
At the same time.
The lightning chain connecting Enel violently grew thicker and stronger.
Kaido's massive azure dragon body was engulfed in flames, the air around him distorting from the heat. Then, all the flames gathered at his head:
"FIRE DRAGON'S BLAZE!"
"ASCENDING DRAGON - FLAME BAGUA!!!"
With an unstoppable aura, it crashed towards Enel!
Enel looked at the charging Kaido.
A chill shot straight to his brain... he would die!
This thought flashed through his mind, but he could no longer dodge. The lightning connecting them rigidly bound Enel, preventing him from elementalizing.
He cursed under his breath.
The golden droplets in his left hand condensed into countless golden needles, which shot out towards the core of each arsenal.
He wouldn't let Kaido have an easy time...
The lightning stored within each needle was enough to completely destroy everything within a hundred-meter radius. The only thing he hadn't anticipated was Kaido ambushing him here...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted them like this...
These golden materials, nurtured for years, were lost.
But there was no more time to think.
Because Kaido's dragon head was already upon him...
Enel braced his arms against the golden shield, unleashing his full power and Haki...
BOOM！！！！
The colossal dragon head slammed against the small shield.
Enel spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth, his entire body feeling like it was being torn apart, his mind blank...
He was continuously pushed back by the colossal azure dragon's charge.
He had no further thoughts, only instinctively unleashing his ability and Haki, desperately holding the golden shield against the onslaught.
Under the sustained, powerful impact.
Enel, still retreating, his eyes began to glaze over.
Blood gushed from his mouth as if it were free... the scene before him flickered, like a malfunctioning machine about to shut down.
Is this how it ends...
As this thought entered his mind.
Enel, spitting blood, a mocking chuckle spread across his lips as he looked at Kaido's enormous dragon eyes.
Because all the arsenals on the island had been destroyed by the golden needles he'd fired, Kaido's killing intent, which had multiplied several times over, was the best proof...
His mission was considered complete...
His arms could no longer hold on, and his right arm broke again...
The Haki infused in the golden shield began to recede like a tide...
*Swish——*
"Speed is power~"
