One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 205 The Resilient Kaido

Meanwhile, the Golden Lion was in an equally wretched state. His entire body was covered in various wounds, and blood was constantly flowing from them, staining his clothes bright red.

His eyes revealed endless exhaustion and resentment, but he still persevered with unwavering willpower.

Looking at the black and white bearded man holding the jet-black pheasant sword in front of him, Golden Lion felt a surge of grief and indignation.

He looked up at the sky and roared with all his might, "I'm not reconciled! Why did you give me hope only to give me despair?"

This roar was filled with his resentment towards his fate and his anger at the battle.

At the same time, with the golden lion's roar, red and black lightning appeared on his body.

The lightning flashed around his body, yet it seemed to carry a hint of melancholy, as if bidding farewell to this once-legendary figure.

The red and black lightning illuminated his weathered face, reflecting the pain and helplessness in his heart at that moment.

After his roar, a resolute glint flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes. Filled with resentment, he charged at the bearded man once more, immediately engaging him in a fierce and deadly battle.

The two swords clashed and danced wildly across the battlefield.

Sometimes they clashed fiercely on the ground, each collision causing the ground to tremble. Other times they fought a great battle in the sky, stirring up the clouds and causing the weather to change color.

However, facing a king-level powerhouse, coupled with the immortal Beard, the Golden Lion gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

With each swing of the sword, blood fell from the sky. This blood was the blood left behind after the golden lion was struck forcefully by the bearded sword's energy.

Despite his best efforts, the gap in strength made his situation increasingly dangerous.

Meanwhile, the battle between Cheng Xiaoyu and Charlotte Lingling was also in full swing. Unlike Minos, Cheng Xiaoyu wasn't approaching his opponent with a playful attitude.

He went all out from the very beginning, engaging in a fierce life-or-death struggle with Charlotte Linlin.

Back then, when Cheng Xiaoyu used his powerful mid-level King-rank combat strength, Charlotte Lingling was completely overwhelmed and left questioning her very existence.

Even when she used her powerful skill, Tyrant's Entanglement, she still couldn't withstand Cheng Xiaoyu's attack and was easily defeated.

Charlotte Linlin at this moment had long lost her former imposing manner.

Her hair was disheveled, and her once beautiful face had been completely disfigured by Cheng Xiaoyu, leaving only a blurry image.

She lay on the ground, her breath faint, as if she could die at any moment.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked calmly at Charlotte Lingling lying on the ground and said coldly, "From the very beginning, your fates were already sealed."

Cheng Xiaoyu's voice was as cold as a winter wind, devoid of any emotion. "That means only death remains."

Having said that, he took the demon short sword and walked step by step toward Charlotte Linlin, each step so firm as if proclaiming Charlotte Linlin's fate.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between Minos and Kaido, the dust gradually settled. Minos looked down at Kaido, who lay motionless on the ground, a faint smile on his face.

His smile was filled with the pride of a victor and mockery of Kaido. "Kaido, how was my attack?"

Minos looked down at Kaido from his elevated position, his eyes filled with scrutiny, as if admiring a carefully crafted work of art. (This is probably a metaphor! (⌒▽⌒))

"It seems that even without using the Overlord's Entanglement technique, you can't withstand it, can you?" His voice echoed across the empty battlefield, carrying an undeniable confidence.

Minos stared intently at Kaido lying on the ground; he didn't believe Kaido would die so easily.

Kaido is the renowned "Beast," possessing extremely tenacious vitality and terrifying defensive capabilities.

Minos believed that Kaido must have suffered very serious injuries, which was why he hadn't gotten up.

Kaido lay on the ground, his body trembling slightly. His body was covered in wounds, and blood kept seeping out, staining the surrounding land crimson.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, each inhale accompanied by a sharp pain. Despite this, his eyes still shone with an indomitable light, a determination to fight and a thirst for victory.

"Hmph... Don't be too happy yet..." Kaido squeezed out these words through gritted teeth with all his might.

His voice was weak, but it was filled with determination. He slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting Minos's, his eyes burning with fury.

"I...haven't lost yet..."

Minos raised an eyebrow slightly, his smile widening. "Oh? You haven't lost yet? Do you think you still have a chance? Kaido, look at yourself now, what right do you have to say such things?"

Minos's tone was full of contempt; he hadn't expected Kaido to be so tenacious.

Kaido did not respond to Minos's taunts. He took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the power within his body.

However, the heavy blow he had just received had severely damaged his body, leaving his internal energy in disarray. Every effort he made to muster a little power brought him excruciating pain.

But Kaido did not give up. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and slowly gathered his strength.

A faint blue light gradually emanated from his body, indicating that his domineering aura was slowly reviving.

Although this aura was much weaker than before, Kaido still managed to stand up with difficulty thanks to this power.

"Hahahaha...Good, very good! Kaido, that's more like you!"

Upon seeing this, Minos burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if he could see an even more exciting battle about to unfold.

"Then let me see how many more attacks you can withstand!"

As he spoke, Minos once again gathered his domineering aura, and a powerful aura surged around his body, with deep purple domineering energy rolling like turbulent waves.

He raised his right fist high, the domineering light on his fist becoming increasingly dazzling, like a purple star about to explode.

Kaido stared intently at Minos, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

He knew the next blow would be even more devastating, but he was prepared.

Instantly, he stood firmly on the ground, clenched his fists, and tensed all his muscles, raising his defense to the extreme.

"Die!" Minos roared, throwing out his right fist.

This punch contained all his power, charging towards Kaido with an unstoppable momentum.

The fist whistled through the air, instantly compressing the air and creating a visible shockwave.

Kaido faced this powerful force head-on without flinching. He also unleashed his full strength, meeting Minos's fist head-on.

"Come on!" he roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield, filled with fearless courage.

The two fists collided, producing a deafening roar. A powerful energy surge emanated from the point of impact, spreading outwards in all directions.

The ground shook violently again, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. The surrounding trees were uprooted by the powerful force and flew through the air.

This clash dealt a significant blow to both Kaido and Minos.

Kaido was thrown dozens of meters backward by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

But he still stood up stubbornly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

Minos's expression turned cold as he looked at Kaido's tenacious spirit. To be honest, he hadn't expected Kaido to be able to stand up even after suffering such severe injuries.

It's so interesting.

However, Kaido's tenacious appearance prompted Minos to prepare to use his true fighting power.

He decided to use the Binding Technique to completely defeat Kaido.
