Kaido vs Patrick Redfield

At this moment, Kaido was brimming with fighting spirit, as this was his first battle after consuming the Fish-Fish Fruit.

He wasn't entirely clear about the opponent strength. Although he had been verbally belittling and mocking the other party as a weakling, Kaido didn't truly believe that in his heart. When the opponent had appeared earlier, Kaido had already sensed that his strength was extraordinary.

However, Kaido didn't think the other party was truly stronger than himself.

Walking to the side, Kaido took off his coat worth two million berries and placed it on the ground. His hands tightly gripped the spiked club, Hassaikai, and his eyes locked onto his opponent.

As their gazes met, the battle was on the verge of erupting. Kaido aura suddenly surged, and although he hadn't awakened Conqueror Haki yet, he was still formidable. The air currents around Kaido body began to swirl and spread outward.

In the next moment, Kaido forcefully pushed off with his legs, using the momentum to charge towards Redfield. Despite his massive frame, his speed was not the least bit slow, like a hammer being swung. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Redfield. The spiked club in his hand was already raised high, ready to strike down with full force.

Suddenly, it was as if Redfield had anticipated Kaido attack trajectory. Just one second before the club was about to hit him, Redfield's body twisted in an eerie manner, causing Kaido attack to miss completely. The black spiked club smashed into the ground.

"Boom!"

A tremendous sound erupted, as if a cannonball had exploded on the ground. A large crater appeared on the ground, with debris flying and dust rising.

In the instant Kaido attack missed, Redfield right arm, holding the slender bat-handled umbrella, lightly swung forward.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound was heard.

In the next moment, Kaido body was sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground. Only after crashing into a large boulder, shattering it into pieces, did Kaido body come to a stop.

At this moment, a wound was clearly visible on Kaido body, with blood streaming down. Thanks to his robust physique, Redfield strike had only cut through Kaido skin, not reaching his internal organs. But this alone was enough to demonstrate the power carried by that casual strike.

It was worth noting that although Kaido physique wasn't as strong as Bob, within the Rocks Pirates, he was a top-tier existence. After consuming the Fish-Fish Fruit, he had reached an even higher level.

Yet, Redfield had still easily breached his defenses. The attack power of that umbrella was no less than that of a sharp sword.

"You're stronger than I imagined!" Redfield exclaimed in surprise, seeing that his direct strike had only left a shallow wound on Kaido.

"You're not bad either!" Kaido replied indifferently, his expression growing more serious.

Watching the initial exchange between Redfield and Kaido on the battlefield, Bob slightly furrowed his brows. Redfield, a great swordsman who wielded an umbrella as a sword, could split mountains and shatter rocks with a casual swing. But what intrigued Bob even more was Redfield seemingly predictive movement just one second before Kaido attack.

This was a technique that could only be achieved by mastering Observation Haki to its peak.

In the original story, it was mentioned that Redfield had possessed powerful Observation Haki since childhood, capable of seeing through people hearts. Having grown accustomed to the ugliness of people hearts around him, he became extremely wary of dealing with humans, developing a reclusive personality.

When applied to combat, it meant he could predict his opponent's next move and position by relying on the special sounds emitted from their body. Simply put, it was anticipation!

Amidst the swirling dust, Kaido stood up, the wounds on his body no longer bleeding. His eyes narrowed, and his spiked club appeared even darker under the sunlight. That was the external manifestation of Armament Haki.

"Thunder Bagua!" With a low shout, Kaido stomped his feet on the ground, causing a rumbling sound to spread across the surface.

In the next moment, Kaido body vanished from its original spot, soaring through the air with a whistling sound. On the ground, cracks spread outward like a spider web.

In the next instant, Kaido figure appeared behind Redfield. The massive spiked club, carrying a violent aura, swung down toward Redfield head.

However

Under the spiked club, Redfield, with a calm expression, suddenly flashed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

In the next moment, Without any unnecessary movements, his body lightly darted to the left.

"Boom!" A sound several times louder than before, erupted. The noise not only echoed across the battlefield but also reverberated throughout the entire Flower Street. Like a thunderclap.

Some pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with confusion.

"What just happened? It scared me!"

"What was that sound? Was it thunder?"

"You heard it too, right? I thought I was hallucinating!"

"I don't know, but it definitely wasn't thunder. It seemed to come from that direction."

...

"That sound earlier was definitely not ordinary!" Inside a house, a man in a navy uniform, with the word "Justice" printed on the back of his coat, spoke.

The badge on his uniform indicated his rank: Colonel. Beside him stood over thirty soldiers. Having just received news that Patrick Redfield had appeared at a bar, he immediately gathered the navy soldiers. Now, hearing the loud noise, he frowned deeply.

"Let's go, investigate what's going on!"

.....

On the battlefield, Kaido spiked club missed once again. This time, his attack was much stronger and faster than before. But it was still easily dodged by Redfield. Moreover, it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head, effortlessly evading the spiked club just a second before it hit him.

This left Kaido puzzled. He had never encountered such an opponent before, someone who seemed to see through his every move.

"Kid, you shouldn't get distracted during a fight!" Suddenly, a calm voice sounded in Kaido ear. Redfield had already appeared in front of him.

Hearing this, Kaido was greatly alarmed. Without time to think, he quickly lifted his spiked club, which was stuck in the ground, and swung it backward with force. However, when Redfield spoke those words, it was as if he already knew Kaido next move.

His body sank slightly, and the bat umbrella in his hand slashed downward toward Kaido lower body. At the tip of the umbrella, a cold glint appeared. The sound of a blade cutting through flesh followed.

Kaido body was sent flying once again.

"Boom!" His towering figure traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily into a distant abandoned building.

Instantly, The structure collapsed with a thunderous roar, and dust filled the air. Amids the rubble, only broken walls and debris could be seen.
