Outside Onigashima, the final battlefield.
In his awakened form, Luffy exaggeratedly picked his nose and raised his eyebrows, saying in surprise, "Are you an idiot? I defeated you once not long ago!"
A few bloodshot veins instantly appeared in Kaido's eyes. Lightning flashed and disappeared instantly. The lightning mace suddenly hit Luffy's head. His extremely malleable neck immediately stretched out far away, but his huge body stood still.
"It hurts so much!... Hee hee, I lied to you!" Luffy suddenly made a funny face, pretending shock and pain.
"Rubber Rubber! Slingshot Counterattack!"
Luffy's forehead was once again covered with Haki, and with the help of his extended elasticity, he quickly launched a counterattack, pulling up several threads of lightning.
This close-range attack made Kaido unable to evade and hit him directly in the head. The terrifying force and Haki struck him so hard that he saw stars. The scales on his forehead were damaged and bleeding, and his huge body staggered back a few steps.
Kaido regained consciousness in an instant, but the opponent's attack arrived again.
"Rubber Rubber! Gatling Fight!"
Luffy's Haki-coated fists instantly turned into emission bullets, hitting Kaido like raindrops.
The awakening ability attached to the fists also affected Kaido's body, and he was hit deeply like rubber, with protrusions all over his back.
Kaido, who did not have Luffy's elastic physique, completely withstood all the injuries. He couldn't help but vomit blood, his pupils shrank, and his whole body flew backwards, flipping and sliding far before he stood still.
"It's not over yet! Kaido!" Luffy retracted his fists and teleported again to catch up.
Kaido, having rebalanced his aura, now stared angrily, raised his mace high into the sky, and roared. The power of wind and thunder was instantly mobilized again, forming several powerful tornado walls to protect him.
Luffy, who had just approached, screamed and was blown into the sky by the hurricane, only to fall back to the ground again.
At this time, Kaido's mace held high above his head seemed to connect to the sky. All the thunder falling from the sky was sucked into it. Even the scales around his body were bathed in lightning, his eyes glowing like a thunder god.
Luffy joked, "His abilities are really like a Logia's!"
But this was not enough to scare him, and he charged again without hesitation.
Kaido roared and swung the thunder mace in his hand, and a huge lightning beam shot out instantly. At the same time, thick thunderbolts in the air descended one after another, blasting the ground to pieces.
The speed of the lightning pillar was so fast that it enveloped Luffy before he could react.
However, this charged blow, like a punishment from heaven, had no effect on him.
After the lightning disappeared, Luffy's body emitted white smoke due to the high fever reaction. Externally, almost nothing had changed.
Luffy smiled while sprinting, "Hehehe, I told you before! Thunder and lightning are ineffective against me, so your efforts are in vain!"
Kaido, who had been angry just now, was venting. Now he woke up, and his gaze became colder.
Suddenly, a fierce breath of fire burst from his mouth, and the scorching wave immediately rushed toward Luffy.
"Rubber Rubber! Giant Swallows it!"
Luffy, sprinting at close range, did not dodge but instead enlarged his head, opened his wide mouth, and swallowed all the hot breath. The high fever reaction in his body made his face turn red, and his ears and nostrils spurted out hot air and firelight, showing a funny and incredible expression.
Kaido, who had always been able to handle things with ease, was now confused. He glared and said, "How outrageous are your abilities, Straw Hat boy!"
However, the next moment, under Kaido's shocked gaze, Luffy opened his mouth and spat out the hot breath again, with almost no loss in momentum and power, as if Kaido himself had done it.
Seeing his ability being played with in this way, Kaido gritted his teeth, the blood vessels on his face swelled, and he swung his mace violently. The strong wind caused by it blew back the hot breath and dissipated it, and he caught Luffy's long fist, pulling it back violently.
Luffy was dragged over, and a mace with a long bolt of lightning was thrown towards his face. Just like before, his head was smashed out of shape, flew backwards, and then returned to its original shape.
Seeing this, Kaido couldn't help but ask, "Straw Hat kid, are you feeling any pain?"
Luffy rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Hehehe, guess what!"
Kaido sneered and said nothing.
"Don't be angry! Let's play a game!" Luffy shook his arm.
"Rubber Rubber! Mole Attack!"
Luffy dived into the surface like a dive, and at the same time used his awakening ability to assimilate the ground. His fists continued to bend and accelerate underground, causing the elastic ground to fluctuate instantly.
Suddenly, a part of the ground bulged up and turned into a fist shape, hitting Kaido from behind.
Kaido caught it instantly and hit it with a stick. The fist was knocked back to the ground, and the protruding ground exploded into pieces. However, almost simultaneously, another fist hit Kaido, catching him off guard and staggering him with a surface punch.
It became like a game of whack-a-mole. Every time Kaido hit someone, he would be punched immediately, making him extremely passive and aggrieved, while Luffy was having a great time playing.
"Thunder Bagua!"
The furious Kaido finally lost his temper. He lifted the mace and plunged it into the ground. A large amount of filament lightning was poured into it, causing a terrifying Haki shock wave. The land within a 100-meter radius exploded like an earth dragon turning over.
"I caught you! Kid!"
Kaido's eyes flashed red, and his body instantly turned into lightning and flashed to a specific spot on the ground. As he predicted, Luffy's body was pushed out of the ground by the impact, and his lightning-coated mace struck directly. The angry blow caused the air to explode and the ground to crack.
But this time, Luffy's body did not deform; he actually received the blow, resulting in bloodstains splattering and transforming. He was ejected like a meteor, smashing large amounts of dust, smoke, and gravel into the ground.
"Huh?" Kaido, noticing something strange, immediately calmed down, picked up the mace, and observed the opponent.
When the dust and smoke dissipated, Luffy in the ruins had a decayed and decadent look, completely different from his previous vitality. He was covered in blood and filth, like a dying old man.
"Thump thump thump..."
Suddenly, Kaido heard the sound of drums coming from the opposite side.
To be precise, it was the beating of Luffy's heart. He had also heard this exaggerated heartbeat during their first battle but didn't take it seriously at the time. Now, something important came to mind, and he couldn't help but look stunned.
"I seem to know your abilities, Straw Hat kid! No..."
Kaido looked at Luffy's gradually recovering state with the sound of drums and said with a serious expression, "I should call you Nika!"
Luffy's smile widened, and he let out his iconic laugh, "Shishishi!"
Kaido responded with his own deep, booming laugh, "Wororororo!"
