Chapter 155: Unmatched Power
"Lord Kaido, those Samurai are quite troublesome."
Watching Lord Kaido's confident demeanor, Kurozumi Orochi couldn't help but speak. It could be said that reaching this point, Lord Kaido was the last straw he could grasp for his revenge against Wano Country. If Lord Kaido couldn't suppress Wano Country, then his good days would probably soon be over.
"Samurai?"
Lord Kaido shook his head dismissively. If these Samurai were really that strong, they wouldn't have remained isolated.
"Lord Kaido, please don't underestimate these Samurai. Take Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the Daimyo of Ringo, for example. His ancestor Shimotsuki Ryuma once slayed a Divine Dragon in the Sky of Wano Country. It is said that the Divine Dragon was directly beheaded, and Dragon Blood spilled all over the Ground of Wano Country."
Kurozumi Orochi said with a fawning smile.
"What did you say!!!"
And with Kurozumi Orochi's Words, Lord Kaido instantly flew into a rage.
If that's the case, then the previous Fish-Fish Fruit Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Form Ability User was beheaded in Wano Country. This is a Disgrace for Lord Kaido, who is also a Devil Fruit User.
Then, a gale swept through the Room, and Lord Kaido's Body began to transform into a Dragon. He then flew directly out of the window, transforming into a Giant Dragon in the Sky and flying towards Ringo.
"Brother Kaido."
King, seeing this, also jumped directly out of the window, transforming into a Pteranodon and chasing after the direction the Giant Dragon flew.
"Mwahahaha, it seems this Kaido is also a Simple-minded Weapon."
Watching Lord Kaido and King gradually disappear into the Horizon, Orochi let out a strange Laughter.
"Ting-ting~"
Accompanied by the Sound of Musical Instrument, Semenmaru Kurozumi came to Orochi's Side and looked at the Giant Dragon and Pteranodon in the Horizon, saying, "That's because of confidence in Strength. If you, Orochi, had the Strength of a Top-Tier Powerhouse on the Grand Line, you could directly occupy Wano Country."
"Lord Daimyo, are we in Ringo really just going to sit idly by and watch White Dance fall? Lord Kang is, after all, a member of the Shimotsuki Family!"
"That's right, we can't just watch like this."
In the Ringo Daimyo Mansion, several Samurai earnestly said to Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who was sitting in the upper seat.
And watching the Samurai's appearance, Shimotsuki Ushimaru just picked up the Sake Gourd and took a few gulps of Wine.
Then, he put the Sake Gourd on the table, wiped his mouth, and looked at everyone.
With Shimotsuki Ushimaru's Action, all the Samurai also quieted down.
"Since Shimotsuki Yasuie became the Daimyo of White Dance, he has severed ties with the Shimotsuki Family. Don't forget that back then, if the Kozuki Family hadn't been poisoned by the Kurozumi Family, resulting in no Heir, the position of Daimyo of White Dance wouldn't have been the Shimotsuki Family's turn to take!
The reason why the Shimotsuki Family could simultaneously serve as Daimyo of two regions, White Dance and Ringo, in Wano Country back then was firstly because of the prestige of their Ancestor Shimotsuki Ryuma, and secondly because of Lord Kozaburo, who forged countless Famous Swords.
And in exchange, that Lord Kozaburo was forced to leave Wano Country!"
It could be said that allowing the Shimotsuki Family to serve as Daimyo of two regions seemed to make the Shimotsuki Family's Strength second only to the Kozuki Family, but Shimotsuki Kozaburo being forced to leave Wano Country was an immeasurably huge blow to the Shimotsuki Family. Only Samurai understand the immense value of a Swordsmith who can forge Famous Swords.
This also meant that if Kozaburo could have stayed in Ringo, then there would have been a constant stream of Samurai seeking a good Sword and joining under the Shimotsuki Family Crest.
Just then, a gale suddenly blew outside the Room, and the Samurai in the Room also noticed something. Shimotsuki Ushimaru was even quicker to grab his beloved Sword and rush to the rooftop.
Then, Figures appeared from all around, all looking towards the Sky.
"That's... a Dragon!?"
Looking at the Giant Dragon that appeared in the Night Sky, many Samurai looked terrified.
Shimotsuki Ushimaru's eyes narrowed sharply, his heart trembled, and his Whole Body shuddered.
As someone who had heard stories from his elders since childhood about his Ancestor Shimotsuki Ryuma slaying a Dragon, he knew how terrifying this Mythical Creature was.
But for him, who aspired to surpass his Ancestor, the Opportunity was right in front of him at this moment.
The Giant Dragon's cold eyes swept towards the Ground, and then he saw Shimotsuki Ushimaru shuddering all over on the Ground.
He could see that the other party was not afraid, but excited.
Clang—!
Shimotsuki Ushimaru suddenly drew his Sword.
Veins bulged and appeared on his forehead.
"Two-Sword Style: Great Dragon Twister!"
Shimotsuki Ushimaru directly used Full Power to swing his Sword and slash out a Giant Dragon Twister woven from Sword Qi towards the Giant Dragon.
In the Night Sky.
The Giant Dragon that Kaido had transformed into immediately noticed the Sword Blade Dragon Twister sweeping up from the Ground.
Facing this sharp Two-Sword Style: Great Dragon Twister, Lord Kaido revealed a look of interest in his eyes. He wanted to see the difference between the Samurai of Wano Country and the Swordsman on the Grand Line.
Boom!
The Giant Dragon Twister interwoven with Sword Qi thus bombarded Lord Kaido's Dragon Body.
Then, the Aftershock dissipated.
This seemingly fierce Two-Sword Style: Great Dragon Twister not only did not cause Damage to Lord Kaido, but it didn't even leave a slight trace. In fact, after this move, Lord Kaido's Scales became even brighter, as if it had helped him do a full-body polish.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
This result made Shimotsuki Ushimaru unbelievable, and the Samurai around him were equally unbelievable.
Dragon Form Lord Kaido lowered his head and looked down at Shimotsuki Ushimaru, spewing flames from his nostrils, and said coldly, "Orogorogo~ So this is the descendant of the Dragon-Slaying Warrior of yesteryear? Truly disappointing. It seems that what your Ancestor slew back then was a fake Dragon with only a hollow reputation."
"How dare you defile the name of my Ancestor! Everyone, follow me to slay the Dragon!"
As soon as the Words fell, Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the group of Samurai around him directly rose from the Ground, holding Sword Blades and rushing towards Lord Kaido in the Sky.
And that winding Dragon Body riding the clouds, swirling and rotating in the Night Sky, was like a solid spiral Dragon Twister.
Dragon Twister: Bad Wind!
As the Giant Dragon Body rotated, it released Wind Blades, flying and attacking the Samurai below.
The number of Wind Blades was simply too many, completely blocking off any Space to dodge.
And the Speed was extremely fast, arriving in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
The continuous Wind Blades slashed onto the Samurai's Body.
*Chih!*
Severed limbs mixed with a large amount of Blood were scattered towards the Ground.
The Long Sword held by the severed arm fell powerlessly from the Sky and plunged into the Ground, emitting a faint wail.
Shimotsuki Ushimaru looked at the surrounding Hell with a stunned expression. The Blood splattered from his Companions around him splashed onto his face, and his vision turned crimson.
"Is this the Enemy my Ancestor faced back then?"
At this moment, Shimotsuki Ushimaru looked at Lord Kaido's Figure in the Sky, and that unmatched Power, and couldn't help but mutter to himself. Only by truly facing such an opponent could he truly feel the Strength of Shimotsuki Ryuma back then.
Then Shimotsuki Ushimaru once again raised his Sword and charged towards Lord Kaido. After all, he was a descendant of Shimotsuki Ryuma, and he couldn't disgrace his Ancestor!
"Is that all you've got..."
Looking at Shimotsuki Ushimaru on the rooftop not far away, wielding Two Swords and panting like an Ox, Lord Kaido was a little unsatisfied.
If the opponent's Strength was just a little bit stronger, they might be able to break through his Defense.
However, this long period of warm-up had made him a little impatient.
He was too lazy to waste more Time here, and immediately opened his Dragon mouth towards Shimotsuki Ushimaru on the rooftop, and scorching Dragon Breath began to brew.
Heat Breath!
The scorching flames spewing from the Dragon's mouth were about to engulf Shimotsuki Ushimaru in an instant.
Just then, a white Figure flashed and arrived, placing itself in front of the Heat Breath.
The white Figure raised its right hand and just faced the surging scorching Breath.
Boom!!!
The scorching flames collided violently with the white Figure in the Sky. The terrifying flames scattered directly from it, and small streams of flames fell towards the surroundings, like a grand fireworks display.
After a moment.
The flames dissipated, and at the same time, the scene in the Sky was revealed.
"Nicholas!!!"
Facing the suddenly appearing Figure in the High Sky, Lord Kaido directly let out an angry roar.
And Nicholas, with Lightning leaping around him, hovered in the Sky, looking up coldly at Lord Kaido who had transformed into a Dragon.
"Kaido."
Lord Kaido's Dragon face was filled with cold Killing Intent, and he sneered, "Orogorogo... I didn't expect to meet you here. You know, I've been missing you so much I'm going crazy!!! Albert Nicholas!!!"
And responding to him was a Z Flash of Lightning emitting a dazzling purple-black light.
It was Nicholas's newly Development Technique, Z Flash.
The Lightning attack with powerful penetrating attributes, drew a Z-shape in the Sky, like a heavy Fist hitting Lord Kaido's jaw.
The Power that erupted directly caused the front half of Lord Kaido's Dragon Body to rear up high, and at the same time, a small piece of Scales from his jaw also shattered directly.
"Such a large Body, what use is it other than to bully those weaker than yourself?"
Nicholas raised his hand, and densely packed Iron Wine Orbs floated around him, directly planning to start with Railgun.
"Immortality? Just listen to it, you actually take it seriously?"
