Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 236 Sword and Illusion

"Oil Dragon!!"

After using his elemental transformation to dodge attacks, Emru clenched his right fist and instantly expanded it dozens of times, looking just like Luffy's Gear Third.

Then, with a punch, the enormous fist transformed into a roaring oil dragon, its appearance closely resembling Kaido's dragon form, which howled towards Keith.

Keith remained calm as he swung his sword horizontally, splitting the oil dragon in two.

However, the coverage of his strikes could not compare to that of Hawkeye in later generations.

Although the oil dragon had been split into two parts, it still pounced on him due to inertia.

Zi la la.

Sparks flew, and the next second came a series of explosions.

The oil dragon that Emru unleashed with his punch was primarily made of gasoline.

Gasoline, even when exposed to the open air, can explode when exposed to open flames or electrical sparks.

The terrifying explosion instantly engulfed half the arena, and Keith retreated somewhat disheveled from the flames.

He wasn't seriously injured, but his clothes were somewhat torn.

Keith glanced down at the charred and torn clothes, and his expression, hidden behind the gas mask, instantly turned grim.

"You damned rabbit! You wretched beast!!"

A strong murderous intent surged within the volatile Keith.

He already disliked Kaido intensely, and now this Kaido's rabbit dared to ruin his clothes!

"Oilfire River!!"

Emru was unaware that Keith had decided to kill her over such a trivial matter. She continued to fight in her own rhythm, waving her hand and spewing out large amounts of flammable oil.

The oil was quickly ignited upon contact with the flames from the recent explosion.

However, because of the continuous flow of oil from behind, the flames could not rise to their source and were instead pushed into a huge wall of fire that crashed down on Keith.

Keith looked at the wall of fire with disdain in his eyes, and swiftly brandished his famous sword.

shhhhhh...

With a swift flash of light, the wall of fire was sliced ​​into countless small pieces.

The view that had been obscured by the wall of fire became clear as the wall collapsed.

Keith spotted Emru's position as he activated his Devil Fruit power and leaped out through the fiery opening he had created.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the arena. Emru raised his arm, using Armament Haki to block Keith's attack.

"Don't think I'm just a newbie who only knows how to rely on Devil Fruit abilities!!"

Zi la la!

Pale blue arcs of electricity flickered in Emlu's snow-white fur as she executed a backflip kick, striking Keith's sword-wielding wrist squarely.

Keith was caught off guard and his hands were kicked upwards.

At the same time, Emru, who had just landed after a somersault, sprang into the air with her legs bent.

He pinched his five fingers into the shape of a dragon's claw, while a large number of electric arcs flashed on the claw.

"Azure Dragon Protrudes with Claws!!"

The slender arm went straight for Keith's throat. If it landed firmly, even if Keith was a general-level powerhouse, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

Keith's gas mask visor reflected Emru's movements. It was unrealistic to try to back away and create distance now; Emru would definitely take advantage of the situation.

So in that critical moment, an arm appeared from Keith's side and pushed him hard, causing Emlu's claw to miss its mark and graz his throat.

Immediately afterwards, a large foot kicked Emlu in the stomach from the side, sending her flying sideways.

Emru let out a muffled groan, rolled a few times on the ground to dissipate the force and regain his balance.

Feeling a faint metallic taste in his mouth, Emru raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at the hand and foot that had suddenly appeared.

There stood a second Keith, in the very spot where she had just pushed Keith away from her deadly attack.

Furthermore, the first Keith did not disappear.

Number 1 Keith slowly stood up, leaning on his knife. Number 2 Keith stepped forward and stood beside him.

Judging from the aura that Emru sensed with his Observation Haki, No. 2 Keith was much weaker than No. 1 Keith, but he still possessed the level of an elite vice admiral.

The only good news was that Keith No. 2 was unarmed.

Otherwise, what kicked her just now wouldn't have been a foot, but a second knife.

"Damn rabbit, you've forced me to use my Devil Fruit power, you should be proud of that!!"

The first Keith, who summoned the second Keith, did not intend to dispel his clones. Instead, he led his clones in a siege against Emru.

Emru showed no fear whatsoever. So what if it was two against one? She was a Mink!

Despite her naturally strong physique, the Mink Tribe did not give up training even after obtaining the Oil-Oil Fruit.

Therefore, Emru's greatest strength has never been her Devil Fruit ability, but rather her close-combat skills.

Her body was crackling with pale blue sparks as she nimbly moved back and forth amidst the attacks of the two Keiths.

Using her petite figure and agile movements, she managed to stall the situation, which was clearly a two-on-one one-sided battle.

The two Keiths grew increasingly agitated as they fought.

Despite his overwhelming strength, he was far superior to Emru, but once they entered close combat, Emru was like a fish swimming around.

This makes what appears to be a two-on-one battle actually mean that every attack Emru tries to defend against is actually an attack from just one person.

This is what is meant by "the layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details."

It's fair to say that at this moment, Keith really wants to use his trump card to completely eliminate Emru, this troublesome rabbit.

but……

"No!! I'm saving my trump card for Kaido! I can't waste it here!!"

Seeing that the entanglement was ineffective, Keith decisively increased his attack frequency, disregarding whether it would harm his clone, and swung his famous sword in a fierce slash.

Emru was caught off guard by Keith's sudden outburst. After enduring several slashes and sustaining knife wounds on his arm, he was punched away by Keith's clone, who was also injured.

This punch was very powerful; even though it was just a clone, it still possessed more than 70% of the power of Keith's main body.

Emru coughed up blood once again as a result.

At the same time, Keith, who had punched Emru away, touched the back of the fist that had sent her flying.

Is it oil?

"By applying oil to the skin to reduce friction, that's the reason you can move so nimbly and agilely."

Keith, number 2, revealed Emru's little secret in one sentence.

Upon hearing this, Emru acted decisively, turning around and jumping off the ring.

After their exchange, she realized the gap between herself and Keith.

There's a high probability we won't win; if we really want to win, we have to risk our lives.

If this were before, when she was still on Zou Island, or when she was still a slave, she wouldn't care about life or death. Even if she lost, it would be a gain if she could take a bite out of the other side.

But now, she is a mother of one child, and her daughter is still young. She cannot gamble with her life.

Besides, this is just a martial arts tournament. Whether you win or lose, why gamble with your life?
