Kaido grabbed the clouds and flew in the air, his lantern-sized eyes staring at Whitebeard. He knew it was impossible to defeat Whitebeard this time.
After clashing, he finally knew how big the gap was between him and Whitebeard. And it was indeed quite large.
He hadn’t caused a single injury to Whitebeard, while he himself had been injured.
Kaido’s body was extremely strong, not easily injured. Yet now, he had almost been beaten silly by Whitebeard.
“If Whitebeard is this strong, then how strong is Shin Uzumaki—who defeated Whitebeard??”
Kaido couldn’t help but wonder.
It seemed that seeking revenge in the short term was impossible.
At least he had to have the strength to defeat Whitebeard before he could seek revenge on Shin Uzumaki for last time. But the key was that the current Kaido couldn’t even beat Whitebeard.
While Kaido was thinking about these messy things, Whitebeard had already started to attack.
Kaido wasn’t attacking now, but that didn’t mean Whitebeard could let Kaido go.
————
“KAIDO, TASTE MY SLASH!”
Whitebeard roared. The clouds were scattered by the tremor. Whitebeard’s slash descended. Even dozens of warships together probably couldn’t block this single slash.
“Whitebeard should be considered a Great swordsman, right?” Shin couldn’t help but say.
“That’s a naginata.” Olvia covered her mouth and said to Shin.
“That’s also a blade.”
Shin took out the Kusanagi Blade. The Kusanagi Blade was also a tachi.
“Alright, even if he’s not a Great swordsman, he’s a Great blademaster.”
Olvia and Robin had black lines on their foreheads. They had never heard of a “great blademaster.” It was probably something Shin made up himself.
————
“Looks like Kaido is planning to run away.” Shin’s gaze flickered as he looked at Kaido.
Shin had no doubt that Kaido would run away. Because last time, hadn’t Kaido run away?
“He doesn’t look like he’s running away.”
Hancock couldn’t help but say. She saw Kaido not running, but meeting Whitebeard’s slash head-on.
“Of course he can’t run now. If he runs now, he’ll only die. He only has a chance to run after blocking Whitebeard’s slash.”
As Shin and the others were talking, Kaido had already transformed from a giant dragon back into his human form. Yes, he didn’t plan to use his dragon form to block Whitebeard’s slash.
He had learned his lesson twice…
Once with Kozuki Oden, and once with Shin Uzumaki. Every time he used his dragon form, he was slashed down from the sky. He didn’t want to go through that again.
And the dragon form’s target was too large, leaving no room for evasion.
But the current Kaido, actually, also had no room for evasion.
His entire body was wrapped in Armament Haki. Kaido held his club and smashed it towards Whitebeard.
If he only passively defended, he would be too passive. Not to mention it wasn’t his style, the degree of passivity was not something Kaido wanted to choose.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The sea raged, and waves dozens of meters high were stirred up. The island they were fighting on couldn’t withstand it anymore and had already split into several pieces.
“<Ice Age!>”
Just then, Aokiji suddenly acted. Extreme cold air froze the surrounding sea surface. A range of dozens of kilometers was instantly frozen.
Shin glanced in Aokiji’s direction. It definitely wasn’t just to stop the waves.
“The Marines are going to act against the pirates. I wonder if they will act against us.”
Olvia looked towards Aokiji and said.
“I can’t guess that.”
Shin stroked his chin. He also couldn’t guess if the Marines had the courage to make a move against him. If Aokiji were the only one present—then Shin could be absolutely certain that the Marines wouldn’t risk taking action.
But Akainu was here.
Who knew how crazy this red dog would be?
“It doesn’t matter.” Shin wasn’t worried. In his heart, he didn’t have any ill feelings towards the Marines. But if they caused him trouble, he wouldn’t let them off.
Shin waved his hand, and a repulsive force swept across, shattering the iceberg in front of them.
This iceberg was blocking his view, so he cleared it away.
Aokiji looked over here, his brow furrowing. The ice he had created with Ice Age was very hard; it was generally impossible to shatter it so easily.
“Whitebeard, we’ll fight again next time…”
Kaido spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at Whitebeard. His internal organs were injured. Kaido’s defense was very strong—and his body wasn’t injured much. But his internal organs couldn’t withstand the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
After roaring, Kaido immediately retreated, and also gave a look to his three All-Stars.
————
“WANT TO LEAVE? STAY HERE.”
A ball of crimson magma shot towards Kaido.
Kaido’s gaze narrowed, his fierce eyes looking at the rapidly approaching Akainu.
“Let’s go! Abandon the others!”
Kaido shouted to his three All-Stars. He had expected they would take advantage of the situation, so Kaido wasn’t too shocked.
His fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, blocked the magma attack, then he quickly left.
After transforming into a dragon, Kaido took his three All-Stars and ran away. This running speed was as agile as last time.
However, Kaido only took his three All-Stars. The other members of the Beast Pirates were all left here.
The three All-Stars were his main forces and couldn’t be abandoned. But the other pirate members, Kaido didn’t care about at all. He could easily gather more.
“Damn it!”
Akainu was furious. He hadn’t expected Kaido to run so fast. It was impossible to keep Kaido here now.
“So cowardly. This isn’t the Kaido I know.” Shin shook his head. Looking at the fleeing Kaido, he wondered if he had been possessed.
How can he be so cowardly?
He didn’t have the domineering presence he had in the anime.
————
“The battle is over. Should we leave?” Olvia used lightning to shatter the ice and then asked Shin.
“No hurry. There’s still a show to watch.”
Shin was very calm. Not far away, dozens of warships were approaching.
Before, only the ship Akainu and Aokiji were on had come. But the main force was still behind. Now the main force had arrived.
These main forces coming over were definitely to deal with the pirates here. Shin could guess that without needing to be told.
“Since Kaido has run away, then you can all stay here.”
Akainu, with a Great Eruption, destroyed several ships of the Beast Pirates. They were truly destroyed, not even a scrap left.
