Kong Tai shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say, it was that he still hadn't understood what this black energy was.
After all, he hadn't even fully understood his own body yet.
To call it black hole energy, but black holes weren't that easy to create!
This thing was created by his collapsing space, and it was like a black hole, so he called it black hole energy. As for what it was, he truly didn't know.
"Alright, enough joking."
Kong Tai clenched the pitch-black black hole in his right hand, then with a forceful pull of his arm, he yanked it to the side.
In front of him, a pitch-black sword was gradually pulled out of the void by him.
The pitch-black sword was entirely black, as if it could devour all things in the world, leaving those who saw it stunned.
Kong Tai gripped the hilt of the Space Blade, slowly stood up, and then lightly swung his right hand to the right.
*Pfft—!*
Space tore open like paper, an opening easily created.
The opening was black, but unlike the darkness of the Space Blade, which even devoured light, it had a hint of gray.
"This destructive power."
Behind Garp, Momonga and Onigumo, this was the first time they had seen Kong Tai's Space Blade.
Just looking at it sent a stinging sensation through their souls, making them feel a sense of mortal danger even from afar.
And the space that was torn apart filled them with dread.
They could clearly see that the space, which did not close for a long time, was not air being torn, but space itself being truly ripped apart.
If such sharpness were to strike a person.
Thinking of this, everyone collectively shivered.
"Even Kaido would die, right!"
Momonga and Onigumo exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
No wonder after Mr. Garp returned last time, the entire Marine, from top to bottom, issued a new order: stay as far away as possible from anyone with silver hair and avoid unnecessary contact.
It seemed that last time on Sabaody Archipelago, it wasn't just Mr. Garp who couldn't do anything to the silver-haired man, but it was likely that the silver-haired man had let Mr. Garp go.
Thinking of this, a sense of melancholy settled upon them.
With such a powerful figure appearing among the pirates, the Marines had no counter-strategy. What would happen in the future?
Even if two Yonko were to perish, they had personally witnessed an even more formidable silver-haired man.
"Alas~"
Kong Tai could not hear the Marines' sighs, and even if he could, he would not have paid them any mind.
He spun the blade, fixed his gaze on Kaido, and began to descend.
*Dong—!*
*Dong—!*
*Dong—!*
Each step he took landed on space, leaving ripples in the void. As he descended, Kaido's aura grew more intense, and the space around his body began to warp with his powerful presence.
Kaido looked up at Kong Tai, who was walking towards him step by step, appearing as ordinary as a mortal, without revealing any hint of his aura. His eyes blazed with immense ferocity.
"If you want to kill me, then come!"
Gripping his kanabō with both hands, he took a step forward with his right foot.
*Bang—!*
The ground caved in.
The kanabō swung from right to left, from bottom to top, smashing fiercely towards Kong Tai.
*Clang—!*
The space domain shattered like a mirror. The massive kanabō, wreathed in purple-red lightning, pierced through space with a *crack*, appearing directly at Kong Tai's left waist.
Kong Tai, as if he hadn't seen the kanabō, continued to walk towards Kaido.
*Bang—!*
The kanabō struck Kong Tai's left waist with a thunderous roar.
The immense shockwave, like it had hit an unbreakable barrier, could not advance any further, and thus could only surge backward.
The shockwave, entwined with purple-red lightning, soared upwards, breaking through the clouds, and then exploded in the sky.
*Boom—!*
The sky trembled, accompanied by an extreme sonic boom.
"Are you done?"
Kong Tai raised his head, stared at Kaido, and spoke calmly.
"How could I be done? Who am I? I am Kaido! Even if I die, I will die standing!"
Kaido stared at Kong Tai, retracting his hands. Without the suppression of the space domain, his greater strength and speed gave him a sliver of confidence.
Therefore, he did not flinch in the slightest. Gripping his kanabō with both hands, he swung it towards Kong Tai once more.
Even, even, even if he knew it was futile.
But who was he? Just as he said, he was Kaido!
Even if he died, he would die standing.
Gazing at Kaido, Kong Tai's eyes turned cold. He gripped the Space Blade in his right hand and swung it upwards.
*Slish—!*
A massive arm, gripping a giant kanabō, was severed directly and slid backward from Kong Tai's left.
Extreme pain surged through Kaido's mind instantly, but he didn't pay attention to it. He had known this would be the outcome of the peculiar black sword that brought him such extreme danger the moment it appeared, so he wasn't surprised.
His eyes were fixed on Kong Tai. His massive head lunged forward, crashing towards Kong Tai.
Without hands, he still had his head, his legs.
Even in death, he was a formidable figure.
Gazing at the rapidly approaching head, Kong Tai didn't hesitate and swung his sword backward.
*Slish—!*
The pitch-black blade easily sliced through Kaido's neck, leaving a long spatial rift in the air.
Kaido's body instantly went still.
He stared at Kong Tai, his mouth opening as if to say something, but the spatial rift that severed his head ultimately prevented him from uttering a single word.
The light in his eyes rapidly dimmed. He wanted to turn his head, to look at Wano Country one last time.
At this moment, he thought of King.
King was less his subordinate and more his only friend. He wasn't only the first companion he invited, but also the only one who knew his ambition.
It was because of this ambition that King followed him.
However, as time passed, he had ultimately failed King.
And King had said nothing, continuing to support him as he had from the beginning.
"Farewell, my friend."
"I hope you don't come to Dressrosa."
At this moment, he felt a twinge of regret, regretting that he had asked King to pick him up, to bring him home, when he left...
The last spark of light in his eyes vanished, and Kaido's massive body toppled backward.
*Bang—!*
His head separated from his body.
"He's dead, just like that..."
Momonga and the others stared at Kaido's colossal corpse, filled with disbelief.
After all, that was a Yonko!
He had been decapitated by the silver-haired man with a single strike.
They knew the bizarre pitch-black long sword in Kong Tai's hand was extraordinary, but they hadn't realized it could kill Kaido so easily.
"This, this, this, this is too insane!"
When everyone looked at Kong Tai again, they subconsciously avoided the Space Blade in his hand.
"He's too goddamn monstrous."
Killing Kaido was no different than killing a pig.
Let alone Momonga and the others, even Garp and Kizaru were deeply shocked.
After all, although they had seen Kong Tai's Space Blade, they had never truly witnessed Kong Tai use it in combat.
"No wonder Carterles was instantly killed."
Garp and Kizaru looked at Kaido's corpse, sighing in their hearts.
Facing this thing, let alone Kaido and Carterles, even they themselves would have met the same fate.
