Kaido's already massive pupils suddenly dilated even further at the sight of this purple thunder, almost bulging out of their sockets.
Without a mont's hesitation, he imdiately unleashed his attack.
"Blast Breath!!"
An orange-red pillar of fla instantly surged from Kaido's mouth, clashing head-on with the purple thunder striking down from above.
After a few seconds of stalemate in mid-air, both attacks suddenly exploded, thunder and lightning clashing and sweeping through the surroundings.
Imdiately after, Kaido abruptly lowered his head and looked forward, only to see a figure that had appeared before him at so unknown ti.
The figure was about two ters tall, with an incredibly handso face and fair, delicate skin, wearing an ordinary white shirt, through which one could vaguely discern an excellent physique beneath his clothes.
Although this was Kaido's first ti seeing this extrely handso young man, it didn't stop him from recognizing the other party. Kaido's extrely deep voice rumbled from his mouth.
"Kyle!!"
That's right, the arrival was none other than Kyle.
If the changes in Zoro and the others over the three years could be described as significant, then Kyle's transformation could be called earth-shattering.
Although Kyle still carried a sense of youthfulness now, he had completely shed the boyish immaturity.
Those familiar with Kyle could still see so traces of the person he was three years ago in his current features, but Kaido had only fought Kyle once three years ago; there was no way he would rember his appearance.
But the question was, did he need to rember his appearance?
That familiar, purple thunder, who else possessed it other than Kyle?!
A faint smile played on Kyle's lips as he spoke with a grin.
"Long ti no see, Kaido!!"
"Less nonsense, Kyle! Let Jack and the others go right now. Your people ran into my territory to grab soone, what? Are you trying to provoke ?"
"If that's how you want to understand it, that works too!"
Kyle's smile remained on his lips.
"Besides, your territory? What you call 'your territory' is just territory among you pirates. What does that have to do with us Marines?"
"I could also say the entire world is our Marines' territory. Your people ran into our territory throwing their weight around, what's the problem with capturing them?"
Kaido's eyes narrowed.
"Looks like you're not planning on reasoning with . In that case, let's settle this with strength!!"
As the words fell, Kaido's form continuously shrank, transforming into his hybrid form. But different from three years ago, his hybrid form now had distinct differences from the one back then.
His body was covered in azure scales, his horns stood tall and sharp, a burning crimson fla cloud supported him, scorching fla clouds coiled around him, and his dragon tail whipped through the air with each swing, breaking the sound barrier.
"Hmm?!"
Seeing Kaido in this state, a hint of surprise appeared on Kyle's face.
And seeing that he had shocked Kyle, Kaido couldn't help but let out a loud laugh.
"Wororororo!!"
"See this, you little brat Kyle? This is my current hybrid form!!"
"After being chased down by you three years ago, I reflected deeply on that defeat and spent a whole year, finally managing to develop the ability to master Fla Clouds for flight in this hybrid form!"
"After another two years of improvents, I finally achieved this form!"
"I am now the true Strongest Creature on both land and in the sky. Whether on the ground or in the heavens, both are my domain! Wororororo..."
Kaido laughed heartily, his laughter incredibly bold and stirring.
"Oh? Is that so?!"
Kyle's smile was knowing.
"Of course! Did you think I wasted these three years?"
"Let tell you, adding Fla Clouds to my hybrid form didn't just increase my aerial combat strength; it also enhanced other aspects. As for exactly what those are..."
"Co and experience them for yourself!!"
Mid-sentence, Kaido suddenly erupted, his form instantly dashing forward with incredible speed, arriving before Kyle in the blink of an eye, viciously swinging his club down at Kyle.
The next second.
Boom—
A terrifying shockwave exploded across the sky. Wherever the shockwave passed, all clouds instantly dissipated.
With the two of them at the center, it was as if a dazzling red light source had ford, dyeing half the sky crimson. Terrifying Conqueror's Haki raged continuously, black and red lightning crackling and surging all around.
On the island below, although those elite Marines were called elite, that was relative to whom one compared them.
Even if compared to most pirates of the Beasts Pirates they were still elites, but when facing a situation like this...
Well, sorry to say, they could only be considered 'small fry'!
One by one, the Marines' eyes rolled back the instant the Conqueror's Haki swept over them, their bodies going limp as they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, like beans being poured out.
After a short while, aside from Zoro, there wasn't a single person on this deserted island left standing with their consciousness intact.
Slightly raising his head, feeling this rampant Conqueror's Haki, Zoro's eyebrow twitched slightly.
See, he knew it!
You can't gamble that a gun is empty. Didn't Kaido show up just like that?
Good thing he had the foresight to call Kyle over.
Otherwise, if he had to face Kaido himself, he'd most likely be done for.
He had confidence in himself, but he wasn't arrogant. He didn't think his current self could match an Emperor.
If he faced him, he probably wouldn't last a few moves before getting taken out.
This kind of opponent was better left to Kyle!
And just to add, when he'd talked before about defeating the pirate with the highest bounty in their crew, that didn't include Kyle.
Not just him, anyone else making comparisons would exclude Kyle too.
This was a matter among us crew mbers; why would the captain co and join the fun?
Zoro's gaze swept across his surroundings, then settled on a mountain peak. Without hesitation, he imdiately used Moon Step to fly towards it.
The view from this spot wasn't great; he needed to get to a higher place to watch the fight.
High in the sky, as another shockwave exploded, both figures were sent reeling backward a certain distance.
After steadying himself, Kaido abruptly looked up, his eyes landing on Kyle, who still wore that faint smile, Purple Lightning in his hand crackling with violet thunder.
"You little brat, you..."
Kaido didn't finish his sentence, his gaze just fixed intently on Kyle.
" what?"
"Is my strength beyond your imagination?"
Kaido didn't answer, but that was exactly what he was thinking.
That last swing of his club had held nothing back.
With the support of the Fla Clouds, his speed and agility had both increased considerably. And with increased speed, the power of his attacks, enhanced by that speed, had also increased.
His current strength was definitely a notch higher than three years ago.
He had originally thought that with the boost from his new hybrid form, he could catch Kyle off guard, but the results seed less than satisfactory.
It hadn't had any surprising effect at all.
Moreover, he had noticed another issue.
When he clashed head-on with Kyle three years ago, he could feel that Kyle's attack power wasn't as strong as his; he was actually inferior by a certain margin.
If it weren't for the disadvantage in aerial combat, he was certain the one retreating in the end would have been Kyle.
But in their clashes just now, he...
was the weaker one!!!
