Chapter 82 Kaido's Powerful Appearance, Rhodes' Pain Warlock Talent
This earth-shattering dragon roar drew the attention of everyone present, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki began to envelop the entire area.
Some of the weaker pirates or marines fainted immediately, their eyes rolling back in their heads.
"How did this guy get here?" Buddha Sengoku said with an extremely ugly expression.
Of the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts is the most troublesome one here; he's a complete madman.
"No way, what's that dragon?"
"Yes! That's right, it's that guy, Kaido of the Beasts, the strongest creature in the world of sea, land, and air."
"What the hell is he doing here?"
"Ah, isn't he in the New World? Damn it, how did he get here?" At this moment, everyone present held their breath, watching the enormous dragon descend from the sky.
"Hahaha! Kaido of the Beasts has actually appeared here. Things are getting more and more interesting." Blackbeard laughed maniacally as he spoke.
However, his brows furrowed deeply, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Damn Kaido of the Beasts.
Will this guy's appearance here at this time ruin my plans?
"Hey, Captain, are we still going to do that grand show you just mentioned?" the tyrannical king asked.
"If we fail, we'll disband," Big Barrel said.
"Don't worry! Boss won't fail." Raffit lowered his hat and said.
Kaido of the Beasts suddenly appeared on the battlefield, causing the two sides, who were originally engaged in fierce fighting, to fall into a stalemate.
Jinbe seized the opportunity to pick up the unconscious Straw Hat Luffy and ran away at top speed. Kaido's appearance was just in time!
The moment this guy appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, allowing me to quickly leave with my straw hat on.
Now that the Straw Hat Puppet is out of the picture, I need to get him away as soon as possible.
"Damn Straw Hat, you got lucky this time." Akainu gritted his teeth and said, watching Katsuhira run off into the distance. The key now is to deal with Kaido of the Beasts!
He no longer had time to hunt down Straw Hat Boy.
The other two admirals, Aokiji and Kizaru, also came to Akainu's side, both looking solemnly at Kaido who was descending from the sky.
"Are you alright? You were just fighting Whitebeard, you must have been exhausted." Aokiji glanced at Akainu beside him and asked.
"How terrifying! Kaido of the Beasts has actually come. We'll have to face two Yonko all at once!" Kizaru said.
"I need some time to recover; I'm not feeling well right now," Akainu said.
He was already quite injured when he fought Whitebeard, and neither his Haki nor his stamina were at their best. Facing Kaido of the Beasts at this time is really troublesome. Hopefully, that old hero or the other two admirals can step up their game a bit!
I can't let myself go into the war alone!
After a huge cloud of smoke, Kaido of the Beasts appeared in the center of the battlefield, accompanied by Rod and Sylvanas.
"Those two guys! Are they new recruits to the Beasts Pirates? They both look pretty young."
"I don't know, it seems there's no bounty on the head."
"That woman is quite pretty! And is her dark purple skin from some unknown race?"
Seeing Rhodes and Sylvanas appear beside Kaido of the Beasts, everyone whispered among themselves.
After all, those standing here now are all pirates who have just withstood Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, and in terms of strength, they are at least pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, or Marines of the rank of colonel or above.
"Lolo! Hahaha! Whitebeard old man, I've come to take your life myself," Kaido of the Beasts said.
"Kuralalala! You little beast brat, you're trying to get something for nothing, aren't you?" Whitebeard said breathlessly, supporting himself with his weapon.
His condition is now extremely poor. He has been pierced by two bloody holes in his front, and his domineering aura has been almost completely exhausted.
He's barely fighting with a sliver of consciousness left. Facing Kaido of the Beasts at this moment, let alone killing Blackbeard, that traitor, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow from him.
"Whitebeard, it's such a waste for a guy like you to die. Don't worry! I won't let you die so worthless. I'll kill you and give you a new life," Kaido of the Beasts said.
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt somewhat bewildered. "I will kill you and give you a new life. I can't let you die so meaninglessly. What does this mean?"
"Hehehe! Kaido of the Beasts, if you want to take Whitebeard's life, we can join forces. You can keep the prestige from taking Whitebeard's head, but I can keep his corpse, how about that?" Blackbeard said.
"Hmph! You're Blackbeard, right? I need your help with something later! But I want Whitebeard's life, and I want Whitebeard's corpse too," Kaido said.
"Damn it! You think you can disregard the Blackbeard Pirates? Take this, strongest elbow strike!" Blackbeard Pirates' fighting champion, Burgess, roared and charged at Kaido of the Beasts.
With a loud bang, Kaido stood still, without moving or taking any defensive measures, and took the hit head-on.
"Is this your attack? It's no different from a child's tickle! Get out of my way!" Kaido roared, swinging his spiked club and sending the fighting champion Burgess flying.
Burgess was instantly like a kite with a broken string, flying through the air and spinning 360 degrees before crashing hard into the huge symbol of the Marine Headquarters, falling into a coma.
Kaido didn't use any force in that attack; it was just a casual strike. Otherwise, the opponent would have been turned into a pile of minced meat.
"Dark Acupoint!" Thick black mist emanated from Blackbeard Teach's palm.
"Curse of Pain, Corruption, Unstable Affliction, Haunting, Curse of Doom." Rhodes snorted and threw a Curse of Pain at the black-bearded man, followed by a series of fel spells.
This time, I'll give myself a good chance to play the role of a Pain Sorcerer!
Pain is the most disgusting ability for Blackbeard, whose damage is doubled.
"Ouch! That hurts! What did you do to me? Was it your Devil Fruit power?" The black-bearded man suddenly stepped back, looking at Rhodes with a wary expression.
Just a moment ago, his body suddenly felt excruciating pain, as if it were being corroded by something. In the hazy light, he seemed to see some strange ghostly figures, but fortunately, he was able to shield himself from them thanks to his powerful Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
"It's not over yet! Sacrifice! Weakness Curse!" Rhodes' next spell followed immediately.
Suddenly, crimson flames burst into flames on the black-bearded man's body.
No one saw how Rhodes attacked, or why Blackbeard suddenly caught fire.
"Is it some kind of weird Devil Fruit ability? No, I mean, our captain's ability can nullify any Devil Fruit ability?" the Evil King complained, quite dissatisfied.
"Let's see how our captain performs! Hopefully, he won't let us down!" Shiryu of the Rain said.
"Damn it!" The black-bearded man's palm erupted with a black vortex, which then absorbed all of Rhodes's flames.
However, he still felt weak all over; this person's Devil Fruit ability was too ruthless.
"Hmph! Painful Calamity, Shadow Embrace, Evil Curse, Dark Soul." Rhode held his staff and continuously unleashed various skills at the black-bearded man.
These Affliction Warlock skills were learned during this period from his mentor, Treson.
Although the opponent is a warlock with a destruction talent, it doesn't mean he doesn't know any pain-based skills.
And with a top-tier tank standing right next to me, I'm not afraid of being attacked at close range. I can't help but unleash my full power and unleash a barrage of attacks.
"You wretched brat, what kind of ability do you have?"
At this moment, Blackbeard was stained with an unknown green and black energy. Although he had used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to remove it, the effect was minimal.
"Not bad, kid." Kaido nodded and said.
Sylvanas took off her bow and stood beside Rhodes, allowing her little man to cast spells in peace.
Rhodes stood there, holding his staff, constantly casting various spells with his hands and throwing them wildly at the black-bearded man.
While Dark Fruit can indeed eliminate some physical or elemental damage, it can't do anything about cursed or corrosive damage.
If you use skills like Hellfire or Burning Sacrifice, then there's still a way to remove the black beard.
However, if techniques like Painful Impermanence, Pain Technique, or Permanent Corrosion are used, Devil Fruit abilities cannot eliminate them.
At this moment, the flesh on Blackbeard's body even began to rot. Terrified, Blackbeard quickly used Armament Haki to protect his body, transforming into a black man with a metallic sheen.
"Then let's try this! Life Siphon." Rhodes opened his arms and activated the story's signature skill, Life Siphon, towards the black-bearded man, absorbing his life force.
A green ray of light was drawn from Blackbeard's body by Rhodes, and Blackbeard immediately felt extremely weak, as if he had completely collapsed and was utterly powerless.
"Ah! What have you done to me? Stop it! Stop it now!"
"I am the cursed one who ate the cursed fruit, Blackbeard, you are cursed by me, Fear spell!" Rhodes said.
I can't reveal that I ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, so from now on, I'm the one who ate the Cursed Fruit and is cursed.
"Ah!" Blackbeard roared, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki and breaking free from Rod's Life Siphon restraints.
He instantly distanced himself and returned to his companions, looking at Rhodes with a wary expression.
