One Piece: The Dragon Knight of the Grand Line-Chapter 296: The Resonance of Kindred Spirits

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: The Resonance of Kindred Spirits

Boom—!

When the Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Nukite and Thunder Bagua collided.

An energy storm formed by Haki, chakra, and monstrous strength immediately erupted from the Third Raikage, who was leaping in the air, and Kaido.

A hemispherical energy shield sent the nearby pirates and ninjas flying.

The flowers, plants, trees, and rocks on the ground were all turned to dust.

Zzzzz...

Red and blue lightning coiled around the two super monsters, whose height difference was very obvious.

As a taijutsu powerhouse who was ranked even in the thousand-year history of the ninja world, the Third Raikage’s body was indeed very similar to Karl’s Body of Steel.

But compared to Karl’s Body of Steel, there was a slight gap.

Because the Third Raikage only had an invulnerable defense and did not have immense strength.

Even so, the Third Raikage, using the Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Nukite he had developed, had brought his body infinitely close to Karl’s first trait, Body of Steel.

Just by being infinitely close to Karl’s first trait, Body of Steel, the Third Raikage had become the only existence in the Naruto world who could withstand Kaido’s Thunder Bagua head-on and not be at a disadvantage.

That’s right, not at a disadvantage!

The Third Raikage’s four thrusting fingers were covered in a thick layer of blue electric current, and with his arm stretched straight, it looked like a knight’s lance.

This move was also recognized as the "strongest spear" in the ninja world.

The fewer the fingers, the stronger the power.

With just four fingers, he had taken Kaido’s Thunder Bagua head-on. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

From this, it could be seen that the Third Raikage was indeed one of the super-powerhouses whose strength was closest to the super Kage level in the decades since the founding of the five great ninja villages.

If Ōnoki was a pure mage with high attack and low defense, and a death-dealing ability, then the Third Raikage was a very rare "magic warrior" in the Naruto world.

Not only did he know ninjutsu, but his taijutsu was also ridiculously strong. The Third Raikage was a master of both magic and martial arts.

But I digress...

After the energy storm dissipated, the Third Raikage looked at Kaido, who had withstood his Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Nukite without taking a single step back, and his pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly.

"Your strength is not bad. Do you want to follow me?"

Looking at the Third Raikage, who was also one of the few who had withstood his Thunder Bagua without retreating or being sent flying, Kaido’s love for talent began to stir again, and he couldn’t help but invite him.

These sincere words, however, sounded so ear-piercing to the Third Raikage.

"How arrogant!"

The Third Raikage’s face immediately showed anger, and then his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly disappeared from Kaido’s vision.

The next second, the Third Raikage returned to the ground. The four upright fingers of his right hand suddenly became three, and then transformed into a lightning blade, sweeping towards Kaido’s calf.

If it were anyone else, being slashed by the Third Raikage’s three fingers, they would surely be cut apart as smoothly and straight as cutting paper.

But as the "World’s Strongest Creature" of the pirate world, Kaido’s defensive power was just like the Third Raikage’s super defense, which even an S-rank Wind Release ultimate move could not break.

A mere Hell Stab: Three-Fingered Nukite was not qualified to harm Kaido.

But out of his admiration for the Third Raikage, Kaido once again gave him the highest importance and actually wrapped his foot in Armament Haki.

With the help of his Observation Haki, Kaido kicked at the Third Raikage, who had appeared at his feet with a body flicker and was using the Hell Stab: Three-Fingered Nukite to attack his calf.

Boom...

Another loud bang exploded, and the familiar energy storm spread out again.

After the energy storm dissipated.

This time, the Third Raikage, whose attack power had soared, took a few steps back.

"This guy..."

Looking at Kaido, whose whole body exuded a sense of pressure, the Third Raikage’s expression became incomparably grave.

If the Hell Stab vs. Thunder Bagua just now was just a greeting and probing between powerhouses, and it was a draw.

Then after the second clash, the Third Raikage realized the gap between him and the monster before him.

Strength...

He didn’t know if it was because their body weights were not on the same level, or because of that strange Haki.

The monstrous strength of Kaido’s huge body, although it couldn’t hurt him like the Eight-Tails.

But the difference in strength had made the Third Raikage, for the first time in a taijutsu contest with someone, be knocked back.

At this moment, the Third Raikage also realized that the powerhouse from another world before him should be his own kind.

At this point...

Just like the resonance between Karl and Douglas Bullet, a long-unseen fighting spirit and excitement finally appeared on the Third Raikage’s serious face.

Every battle maniac longed for a fist-to-fist battle.

A life without an opponent was very lonely and boring.

The best example was the protagonist of "One-Punch Man," Saitama.

Before the invasion of the five emperor forces into the Naruto world, the Third Raikage felt that he was not much different from Saitama.

Especially after developing the "strongest spear" and Black Lightning, and cultivating the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the highest level, living in an era without Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the Third Raikage, besides Ōnoki, had no opponents at all.

It was just that Ōnoki happened to be an existence that countered him in terms of attributes and was not the opponent that the Third Raikage longed for.

Therefore...

When the Third Raikage saw Kaido, who could knock him back head-on and give him great pressure.

While his heart was heavy, his blood also couldn’t help but boil.

And so...

The Lightning Release Armor on the Third Raikage’s body, the electric current immediately became more dazzling, and a new color was added to the armor.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Black Lightning, Strongest Armor!"

A black lightning that gave people a sense of extreme pressure was integrated into the blue "strongest armor." The originally domineering Third Raikage immediately exuded a pressure very similar to Kaido’s.

This pressure came from the Black Lightning that the Third Raikage had personally developed.

Unlike the normal Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the corrosiveness of Black Lightning was far greater than ordinary lightning.

The Strongest Armor, enhanced with Black Lightning, now not only had its defense and speed maxed out, but it also had a "Thorns" characteristic.

Anyone who touched the Third Raikage would be continuously damaged by the Black Lightning and would be in extreme pain.
