Chapter 115: One Strike to Defeat Kaido
'This kid's Conqueror's Haki is unexpectedly formidable. Such terrifying Conqueror's Haki—I've only seen it from Red-Haired before' Kaido heart trembled.
His own Conqueror's Haki was already quite strong, but when faced with Pryce, it seemed insufficient..
Pryce looked at Kaido, who was cowering under the pressure of his Conqueror's Haki, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
It seemed his Conqueror's Haki had indeed grown significantly stronger!
At the very least, in a clash of Conqueror's Haki, he was definitely not inferior to Kaido.
Even from a distance, Doflamingo could sense Pryce Conqueror's Haki. Despite the distance, Doflamingo knew for certain that his own Conqueror's Haki couldn't compare to Pryce.
Doflamingo frowned, never expecting that this scientist, Pryce, had such a trick up his sleeve.
Pryce Conqueror's Haki was so dense that it had taken on a visible color—a pale white aura that surged directly into the Zanpakuto in his hand.
After channeling it for a few minutes, Pryce withdrew the Conqueror Haki back into his body.
The Zanpakuto, now infused with such immense energy, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki, looked exactly the same as before.
Such a massive amount of energy didn't emit the slightest hint of threat!
"I never expected the Zanpakuto containment to be so strong!" Whitebeard couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
If it weren't for his trust in Pryce, Whitebeard would have thought all that energy had been released into the air.
Pryce cheerfully weighed the Zanpakuto in his hand.
"The test subject is ready!" he announced.
"The Zanpakuto is fully charged! Who wants to give it a try?" Pryce looked around at the group with a smile and asked.
The division commanders were all excited, raising their hands and clamoring to be the one to try it.
Marco noticed that so many people wanted to take a turn—even Whitebeard had raised his massive hand!
"Alright, everyone!" Pryce proposed a solution, looking at the eager crowd. "To keep things fair, how about we draw lots?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Marco quickly brought over a few slips of paper.
The division commanders and Whitebeard each drew one.
"Woo-hoo!" Marco waved the slip of paper marked with black, grinning like a child. "Looks like today's my lucky day!"
The other division commanders sighed in disappointment—such a great opportunity had fallen into Marco hands!
Whitebeard glanced at his blank slip and chuckled as he walked over to Marco.
"Marco, let your old man have a turn this time!" Whitebeard negotiated with Marco. "You can go next time!"
"No way, old man!" Marco shook his head, firmly refusing. "I'd let you have anything else, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—I can't pass it up!"
"Gurararara, it seems I haven't given you any special training in a while!" Whitebeard cracked his neck, making a series of popping sounds.
Seeing that a soft approach wasn't working, Whitebeard was ready to throw hands!
Pryce watched with amusement as whitebeard acted like a mischievous old man.
"Even if you hang me up and beat me today, I still can't give you this opportunity!" Marco gritted his teeth and spoke directly.
Whitebeard was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected the Zanpakuto to hold such a strong allure for Marco, Not even the dreaded training sessions with his father could shake his resolve!
Marco swiftly moved to Pryce side and took hold of the fully charged Zanpakuto. Kaido, though inwardly trembling with fear, forced himself to remain calm.
"Marco, you think you can kill me with just this blade?" Kaido sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.
"Don't embarrass yourself when it breaks!"
He didn't believe that Pryce seemingly ordinary blade could surpass the might of a Supreme Grade sword.
The only thing Kaido might fear now is the advanced Armament Haki known as Ryuo, a technique passed down in Wano Country.
Although the energy absorption earlier looked bizarre, Kaido remained supremely confident in his physical resilience.
"Kill or not, I'll just test this blade on you!" Marco shrugged nonchalantly.
He then gripped the hilt and swung the blade fiercely at Kaido!
In the next moment, the Zanpakuto released a strange, radiant light.
A myriad of colorful energies were forcibly fused together by the blade, A rainbow-like slash of light descended directly onto Kaido body.
Everyone watched in shock!
No one expected that a single strike from the Zanpakuto, infused with so much energy, could be so overwhelmingly powerful. Not only was it devastating, but it was also breathtakingly beautiful, The rainbow light illuminated the surroundings.
The term "violent aesthetics" might as well have been coined for this very strike.
In the next instant, a torrent of blood gushed forth!
A massive, clean-cut wound, resembling a serpent, appeared across Kaido chest!
The terrifying slash even caused the flesh around the wound to peel back, revealing the stark white of his ribcage, Blood continued to pour out in copious amounts.
It took a moment for Kaido mind to register the pain.
Pain!
So much pain!
Excruciating pain!
"AAAAARRRGGHHH!" Kaido screamed in agony, his voice echoing to the heavens.
"It hurts like hell!"
Kaido couldn't believe it!
He had actually been cut open by this seemingly unremarkable Zanpakuto, His hands trembled uncontrollably from the pain.
The trembling even caused the seastone chains to rattle loudly!
Still in disbelief, Kaido reached out and tentatively touched his wound.
The moment his fingers made contact, the pain shot through his nerves like lightning, Kaido jerked his hand back.
He hadn't expected the Zanpakuto to be so terrifying, Even when a powerful warrior from Wano Country had ambushed him with Ryuo Armament Haki, it hadn't caused such a horrific injury.
However, Kaido felt a slight relief as his natural regeneration began to take effect. The bleeding from his chest had already stopped. The pink flesh was continuously regenerating.
Everyone was utterly shocked by this scene!
This was completely beyond anything they had imagined!
Kaido, the Beast, with his terrifying defense, had left them at a loss, Who would have thought that this single strike could inflict such a horrifying injury!.
This Zanpakuto was simply too miraculous!
Marco stared in astonishment at the Zanpakuto in his hand, his heart filled with awe.
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible!
