Chapter 874: Chapter 532: Let’s Play a Game_2
"Two of them!"
Kid released his own Supreme King, shouting, "It doesn’t matter if there’s one or two, I will definitely defeat you and seize your positions as the Four Emperors!"
"Oh?"
Sage smiled, as black clouds rose beneath his feet, gently lifting him into the air, reaching the same height as Kaido.
"Long time no see, you’re still so arrogant. I remember you owe me money, right? You’ve passed the deadline, planning not to pay back? Well then, I’ll gladly accept your ability."
"And you... Law."
He glanced at Law among the three and laughed, "You owe me too and haven’t paid up, so use your Fruit Ability as compensation."
"Stop it!"
Law said in a deep voice, "Among pirates, what’s the point of talking about debts? If you’re confronting us as enemies, then we’re enemies. Defeat you, and everything is written off!"
"Hmm..."
Sage nodded slightly, extending a finger, "Indeed, but you probably don’t have the ability! Celestial Fire!"
The beads around his neck suddenly ignited, quickly gathering at his fingertip, forming a giant fireball that split into three, crashing toward them. The blaze was so immense that each blast could engulf everyone, and no one dared to stand firm; they all instinctively dodged.
"Flame... Thundercloud?"
Kaido glanced at Sage, frowning, "Did you snatch Linlin’s Homiez?"
"Heh heh heh, when pirates want something, what else can they do but steal?"
Sage laughed, "If I hadn’t eaten the fruit, I would’ve beaten you half-dead to snatch the ability!"
Mythical type is also very good, but he encountered the More-More Fruit first, which means the demon inside chose him, showing the utmost compatibility.
"Oh Lawlahlahlah! Haven’t seen you in a while, you’ve learned to boast, huh!"
Kaido laughed loudly, "Then I’ll wait and see what you can do to beat me half-dead!"
After snatching from Big Mom, Kaido wasn’t too concerned. The sea is indeed cruel; no matter how formidable someone is, there will come a day of failure.
He read the newspaper and received some intel; Linlin was defeated by Sage fair and square. He took it in stride, without much thought of revenge, but rather wanted to face off against Sage.
"Hmm!!"
After saying this, he squinted, his iron club charged with Haki delivered a burst, almost like instant teleportation, swinging out.
"Thundering Hakke!"
Bang!
Luffy surged forth, clashing with Kaido, being struck by his club and sent flying into the air. He bounced around in mid-air, wiping away blood from the corner of his mouth, yelling, "Too fast, even if I see the future, can’t dodge it?"
"Definitely grown..."
Sage narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Luffy, "That attack earlier... was Internal Destruction, hmm, the mastery of Haki is quite good. Compared to before, now you’re a strong contender."
"Then..."
Sage pointed his hand skyward again, "Try this! Tenma Daijizaitenjin!"
Boom!
Ten Thousand Thunders burst from the sky, becoming serpents of lightning, striking the trio quickly.
The speed of the lightning was impossible to resist.
Law and Kid were directly scorched by the lightning, emitting black smoke before they started to shield themselves, clearly destabilized.
However, Luffy burst out of the struck lightning, his fist shrinking like a spring into his arm, then fiercely punched out.
"Room!"
Law, suddenly shaking, opened his hands, immediately replacing the stone in front of Luffy and Sage, instant teleporting to Sage, the punch swiftly reaching his face.
Bang!
But at that moment, Kaido suddenly swung his iron club, smashing that resilient arm, twisting the club and swinging it straight, sending the arm flying.
Sage noticed this and smirked coldly, suddenly stretching his hand toward Kaido, black flame-like Haki forming a Haki Bullet, closely flying past Kaido’s head, blasting Kid who was preparing to attack from the side, sending him flying.
"Oh lawlahlahlah... I can see that." Kaido grinned, bearing his teeth.
"Doesn’t matter."
Sage laughed equally, "Just playing around, whatever works."
"You still suit my taste, too boring, let’s just kill them all, start a war! Hey, Sage, how many people did you bring?" Kaido asked.
"Two thousand, coming to your place is quite a hassle, no need to bring them all, but I brought all my bottom line. If you win, take those people, I’ve already talked to Moriah."
Kaido was taken aback, then laughed, "Moriah huh... It really has been a while! Heard he joined you, I invited him before too! Fine! If I lose, my people are yours! Including my son, he can be your aid!"
As pirates, it’s just the way things are. Sage came with the intent to fight to the death; if Kaido killed him, he couldn’t protect his territory, might as well give it away. Conversely, if he wins, he can swallow Kaido instead.
It’s better to negotiate now than kill Kaido and then talk to his subordinates later.
Just like Cake Island needing people for governance, Wano Country requires a batch of pirates familiar with the situation to rule, to avoid trouble.
In essence, he and Kaido belonged to the same kind; they were also tolerant of strong individuals.
Kaido thought this way too. At their level, they could sense each other’s power, and Sage never hid anything. His appearance this time was entirely different from the last encounter.
This power made Kaido subconsciously think about the aftermath.
Even with his confidence now, he wasn’t assured he could win against Sage.
Their eyes met, and both laughed together loudly.
Opposite them, the three gathered again, their expressions varying in levels of gravity.
They had confidence; otherwise, they wouldn’t possess such strong Haki.
But this battle was different from the past; even if they disliked Sage, they had to admit he was now a top-tier pirate of the sea, with Kaido alongside him.
Facing them required putting forth 100% effort; a slight lapse could spell doom.
"Can’t be like this."
Law spoke in a deep voice, "Though I don’t know why they merged forces, we must separate them now. Dealing with one is better than two."
"Tch!"
Kid spat but didn’t object, "What’s your plan?"
"I don’t care, I want to defeat Kaido!" Luffy shouted.
"Alright, Kaido is yours then!"
Law said, "Sage is ours, let’s bring him down first."
"Your ability doesn’t work?" Kid asked.
"No, their Haki is too strong, can’t move them."
He eyed the thundercloud beneath Sage, frowning, "First, get rid of that thing, depriving him of flight."
"Got it!"
Kid lowered his body slightly, "Then, for now, let’s go with this plan. But let me be clear, it’s not anyone’s orders; it’s what we’re thinking! I’m not anyone’s subordinate!"
"Enough, it’s not the time for that talk! Scrap Head, Straw Hat, let’s do this!" Law yelled.
Bang!
Luffy’s legs blasted with air waves, exploding with extreme speed in Fourth Gear, charging at Kaido once more.
"Magnetic Demon!"
The scattered metals around began to gather again at that moment, forming a massive floating metal semi-humanoid.
"Unleash Haki! Room!"
Law opened his hands, using his ability to quickly transfer the two to Sage and Kaido.
Kaido was about to swing his iron club again, but at that instant, Luffy’s Fourth Gear body transformed to normal size, narrowly avoiding Kaido’s club, that Haki-filled fist suddenly igniting with flames.
"Fire Fist Gun!!"
Bam!!
As the fist swung, it expanded, directly punching Kaido’s face, sending him flying.
"Magnetic·Great Demon Bull!!"
Kid, reaching Sage, quickly assembled the metal semi-humanoid beneath him into an enormous metal bull, charging directly at Sage’s body.
"I said, that thing is as fragile as glass in my eyes..."
Sage smirked, lifting his hand to strike the charging metal bullhead.
"Is that so! Then how about this! Magnetic Impulse·Charge!!"
A peculiar repulsive force was applied to Sage’s fist in contact with the metal surface, carrying a strong force.
The more momentum the metal bull had, the more repulsive force Sage conveyed. In that instant, his Haki couldn’t offset it, his body couldn’t hold back, being pushed away by the repulsive force.
This wasn’t an external force; it was his own...
"My ability isn’t about controlling metal!" Kid shouted!
