"Seeing Kaido's appearance, a trace of incredible surprise flashed in his eyes. It wasn't surprise at Kaido's dragon form, but rather that Kaido seemed to be heavily wounded. Who could have wounded Kaido so badly?
Soon, they saw a person with two huge light wings on his back flying towards Kaido, swinging a greatsword in his left hand and a giant hammer in his right towards Kaido's two eyes.
Kaido unleashed a Dragon Breath, blowing Grimm away. Grimm summoned the Ancient King Guardian again, the Two-Winged Angel!
Swish!!
The Two-Winged Angel's body turned into golden light. Spreading its arms, it directly blocked Kaido's continuous fiery breath. Meanwhile, Grimm attacked again from the side.
Grimm's two weapons fiercely struck Kaido's dragon head. Kaido cried out in pain, and a trace of blood actually spewed from his dragon mouth. Simultaneously, a tail whip swept out, directly sending Grimm flying. After piercing through several mountain peaks, he finally stopped.
"That's… Tirion…"
A cold sweat trickled down Kuzan's face. He never expected that the one fighting Kaido would actually be him.
Shaking his head to regain his composure, Kuzan asked Garp, "Mr. Garp, should we intervene in the battle?"
"Wait, we should wait!"
Sakazuki crossed his arms and said solemnly, "When the two of them are exhausted, we'll make our move! Look, what a spectacular show!"
Hearing this, Kuzan scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think that's a good idea. According to intelligence, these two have been fighting here for a day and a night. We don't know when the Kaido Pirates might return. I think we should end this quickly!"
Due to his enlistment time, Sakazuki's rank was one level higher than Kuzan's, but their overall strength was comparable.
At their level of strength, they spoke more with their power than with their rank. Therefore, Sakazuki didn't immediately say, "Kid, my rank is higher than yours, so listen to me!"
However, in terms of both seniority and strength, neither of them was qualified to carry Garp's lunch. The Loving Iron Fist was not a joke. For a moment, the two looked towards Garp, awaiting his decision.
Garp pondered with his head bowed. Both Sakazuki and Kuzan had valid points. The key was the unpredictable environment of the New World, making it difficult to predict pirate movements. If the Kaido Pirates suddenly attacked, it would indeed be very troublesome.
The crucial point was that if they went up and attacked directly, and if these two suddenly joined forces against the Marines, they wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, when facing the Marines, pirates would stop their internal conflicts and unite against the common enemy—this was a hidden rule in the pirate world.
Except for a fool like Roger who wouldn't abide by it, most other pirates followed this hidden rule!
After pondering for a while, Garp opened his eyes and said, "First, let's report the situation here to Marine Headquarters and have them dispatch reinforcements to guard against Kaido's arrival!"
Although the main crew members of the Kaido Pirates were ability users, several high-ranking cadres had methods to resist seawater, and most of them were ordinary people.
If added together, their numbers would far exceed Garp's accompanying Marines, so reinforcements were indeed necessary.
Kuzan was stunned and said, "But Mr. Garp, even if we dispatch personnel from G5, it will take more than two days. Until then, no one can guarantee the actions of the Kaido team!"
"How can we not take any risks when hunting down Kaido?" Garp said, hands on his hips. "Ahahaha, this little risk is nothing compared to chasing Roger! And… I seem to have forgotten to bring more senbei and donuts!"
...
Grimm leaped out of the rocks, his injuries already healed. Kaido spat and said, "Undying brat!"
Grimm's attention was focused on a mountain peak not far away. "Oh! Is that the legendary Marine, Iron Fist Garp? The other two, one is Kuzan, and the other, with such high heat, must be that red dog!"
At this time, Sakazuki was still in his rebellious youth phase, habitually covering the upper half of his face with his hat and coat, making it difficult to see his true face clearly. However, from the extreme heat emanating from his body, he could still be identified.
Ever since Grimm bombarded Marine Headquarters half a year ago, his bounty had remained at 700 million, and he hadn't done anything outrageous in the past six months. Frankly, the Marines had let him be.
Therefore, Grimm felt that the target of these Marines was definitely not him; Kaido must have led these bastards here.
"You still have time to look around, brat?" While Grimm was observing Garp and the others, Kaido transformed back into his human form and charged at Grimm like a chariot.
He had naturally noticed Garp and the others, but he didn't take them seriously. This capricious monster was currently only focused on his battle with Grimm. As for that donut-eating weirdo uncle, he would deal with him after the fight.
Grimm dodged Kaido's charge like a golden afterimage, then condensed holy light and stood on Kaido's shoulder. He sheathed the Ash Messenger into his system space and continuously threw holy spears at the wounds on Kaido's back.
Kaido roared and punched at Grimm. Grimm blocked with the holy light hammer in his right hand, creating a burst of air that snapped the surrounding trees and shattered rock walls.
"Looks like you want to reap the benefits of our fight, huh? That old roughneck Garp actually uses such tactics!"
After fighting Kaido for an unknown amount of time, Grimm glanced towards Garp and the others on the mountaintop. He saw that the three were not making any move. Garp was even sitting on the ground. Grimm knew their intention was to wait until Grimm and Kaido were exhausted before making their move.
Grimm looked at Kaido and thought, "Whatever, I'll play with him for now. Fighting Kaido is too much fun."
...
Garp sat on the mountaintop, but it was no longer the original mountaintop. On the third day of Grimm and Kaido's battle, Kaido smashed the mountaintop directly with his spiked club, destroying it and forcing Garp and the other two to relocate their observation point…
Byrnblus Island is a giant island with a primeval forest inhabited by animals. Naturally, it has a considerable area. However, this giant island was half destroyed due to the battle between Grimm and Kaido. Only on the fourth day did the fighting show signs of stopping.
Grimm stood on a small hill. The Two-Winged Angel, shattered into holy light fragments by Kaido, was slowly re-condensing into light particles.
Meanwhile, Kaido on the other side was also not doing well. His body was covered in blood, with six severe wounds and two fatal ones. However…
Well, for others, such injuries would be fatal, but Kaido stood majestically as if nothing had happened.
"How long have they been fighting?" Garp asked, taking out the last donut from his suit!
Kuzan replied: "Including the intelligence from the pirates earlier, it's been about five days!"
Sakazuki clasped his hands and said, "That kid in white, I don't know how many times he's been hit with fatal wounds by Kaido. Normally, he should have died a hundred times already, but he just won't die. What exactly is he?"
Garp said while eating his donut: "I'm also curious… I've never seen such an ability…"
Grimm, bathed in holy light again, completed his recovery. At the same time, he used another revival coin. "Only ten left in stock. Fighting a future Yonko is actually making me struggle…"
Thinking this, Grimm glanced at Garp and the three others and smiled: "I originally wanted to save some strength to deal with Garp and the others, but it seems that's not possible now!"
With that thought, Grimm's hands relaxed, and the two weapons in his hands instantly disappeared. Kaido, seeing this, became somewhat unhappy. He was having too much fun. "What, you're not fighting anymore?"
"I can't kill you now, and you can't do anything to me either. Besides, I don't have a habit of letting others reap the benefits!"
