"Of course, I'll destroy it. It's useless to me!" Grimm said with a smile. In reality, he had just put it into his system space. He just wanted to see Kaido's reaction.
After a moment of silence, Kaido actually burst into tears, wailing with snot and tears: "Waaah! The chance to add another ability user to my crew is gone!"
"Huh?" Grimm tilted his head in confusion. Was this the personality of the Hundred Beasts Kaido!
However, Kaido's crying didn't stop. Suddenly, a giant fist struck towards Grimm, catching him off guard and sending him flying into the jungle behind him. After shattering several large Sea Stone rocks and crashing through countless trees, Grimm finally stopped.
With multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, he lay half-reclined in the jungle, simultaneously hearing Plank's voice through the system chat: "Boss? What's wrong? Are you fighting on the island?"
"Lord Grandmaster Grimm, do you need our support?" Jiana voiced her thoughts.
"No need. Just guard the ship. I've found an interesting creature. It's been a while since I've met such an interesting fellow. The Holy Light likes guys like this!"
Grimm was overjoyed. Ever since his last fight with Drulcy, the pirates he encountered had bounties stronger than their actual strength, making fights meaningless.
Now that he had met Kaido, he could finally have a good fight.
Meanwhile, Kaido's crying hadn't stopped. He wiped his nose with one hand and cried: "Bastard, it was so hard to find another Zoan!"
He turned around while crying, but the moment he turned, Kaido's expression changed again. He glared and said: "I suddenly feel so down. I need to vent. Forget it, I'll go find that bastard Whitebeard for a one-on-one fight…"
Swish swish swish!
Sensing something shooting towards him from behind, Kaido abruptly turned his head. Several holy spears instantly hit his head as he turned, leaving faint bloody traces on his face before being repelled into holy light fragments.
After half a year of accumulation, Grimm's holy spears now had no cooldown, so throwing out so many at once was effortless. He just didn't expect Kaido to disregard them so easily: "What tough skin. Even divine attacks that ignore defense don't do much damage?"
"Ding! Host, the opponent is a special creature with a unique method of resisting damage!"
"Oh?"
Kaido immediately adjusted his impression of Grimm. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his teeth: "It seems you're not an ordinary brat. It wouldn't be bad to have you as an appetizer before fighting Whitebeard!"
"Emm… I'm not a very tasty appetizer!" Grimm condensed the Ash Messenger with his hand. "May the Holy Light bless you!"
"Who do you think I am!"
Kaido suddenly crouched down, instantly closing the distance with Grimm, and roared, scaring all the animals on Byrnblus into stillness: "I am Kaido of the Beasts!"
"That's truly an honor to meet you!"
Grimm smiled, and the holy light aura around him erupted. A holy light shockwave, similar to Conqueror's Haki, rapidly spread outwards from Grimm as the center!
He held the Ash Messenger horizontally across his chest. At some point, the previously clear sky gradually became covered by dark clouds, and thunder rumbled faintly within the cloud layer.
"Alright, hurry up and attack, Kaido of the Beasts!"
"Brat! You possess Conqueror's Haki!" Kaido's face showed an excited expression. His club, capable of shattering mountains, swung down. Just this spiked club alone was the size of several Grimms.
"Holy Light!"
Grimm roared, meeting the attack with the Ash Messenger. Their first blows collided in the air, and a bolt of lightning struck the sky, seemingly signaling the start of this battle.
...
Byrnblus is an island constantly surrounded by sea currents, making it difficult for ordinary pirate ships or the Navy to approach easily.
However, conversely, the island's climate is very comfortable and suitable for animal habitation, which is why it has become the primeval forest it is today.
But today, it has suffered a devastating disaster.
A passing pirate crew, their navigator on the mast saw the intermittent tremors from Byrnblus in the distance through his telescope and asked the pirates below: "Hey, the situation on Byrnblus is very strange. Should we avoid it or go closer?"
A pirate below heard this and asked: "Byrnblus Island, I remember there are large whirlpools around it, right? Can we go through?"
The navigator looked towards the island again with his telescope. He felt the island shaking faintly. There seemed to be something on the island, but it was too far to see clearly even with the telescope. However, he was certain that there were no whirlpools near the island at the moment.
A pirate with a handlebar mustache stood up and laughed: "Isn't that perfect? If there are people, we'll capture them, steal all their treasure, let's go, lads!"
"Oh!!"
The pirates on the ship excitedly raised their weapons. This was the New World!
On Byrnblus Island, as Kaido swung his club down, the air pressure exploded, and the resulting shockwave carved a path through the forest behind Grimm.
Grimm transformed into a golden afterimage and flew fifty meters into the air. In an instant, he condensed into a human form and dived downwards, his holy spear in his left hand continuously shooting downwards.
The two had been fighting on the island for over three hours, and they had some understanding of each other's combat style. Kaido saw the holy spear flying towards him and wrapped his spiked club in a layer of purple lightning!
"Raikai Hakke!"
With one swing, the light spear shattered, and the entire sky churned with air currents, even creating a large hole in the dark clouds!
[Holy Light Shield]
Boom!
The air currents and the giant shield collided, shaking the heavens and earth.
"Kid, is that all you've got?"
However, Grimm's offensive methods didn't stop there. Grimm's improvement over the past six months was not just a little bit.
Grimm's body suddenly turned into golden holy light, as if elementalized. At this moment, Grimm raised his arm towards the sky.
Crack!
A rift tore through the dark clouds in the sky. A golden light descended from the heavens. The golden light transformed into a two-meter-long hammer, completely covered in golden lightning, and shot directly towards Kaido.
"Brat!" Kaido roared, then swung his giant spiked club fiercely!
Bang~
With a loud bang, the golden hammer was sent flying. However, the hammer seemed to have a will of its own, circling twice in the air before returning to Grimm's hand.
[Hammer of Divine Punishment]: Summons the Hammer of Divine Punishment from the heavens to strike the first target, then returns to the host's hand to be used as a weapon. +20% Speed, +30% Strength.
At this moment, Grimm entered his second form.
In his left hand, he held the greatsword Ash Messenger, and in his right, he wielded the summoned holy weapon [Hammer of Divine Punishment]. His black pupils had completely changed to gold, and golden lightning constantly flickered.
"I've become King, let's fight with chopsticks!"
Boom!
Suddenly, Grimm stomped on the ground. Two seconds after Grimm flew up, a large crater appeared where he had been standing.
"Let me show you the power of the Holy Light!"
Boom!
As soon as Grimm finished speaking, the hammer in his right hand fell heavily. Kaido dared not take the hit directly and raised his spiked club to block.
However, at that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw that Grimm's Ash Messenger had opened a bloody gash on his stomach.
Kaido's eyes narrowed. It had been a long time since he had felt such pain.
But this level was not enough to defeat him, Kaido!
