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

Chapter 112 A Crisis Averted by a Cigarette Butt

The battle between Kaido and Lucci Arno continues.

In a pure power-based battle, especially a wood-type versus wood-type matchup, the outcome is not so easy to determine.

Meanwhile, Bakin and Machima took this opportunity to quietly leave the town battlefield and quickly traverse the jungle with their long legs.

Climbing to the top of a hill overlooking the isolated town and castle, they finally witnessed the awe-inspiring battlefield ahead.

From the mountainside, the trees stretched into the endless distance, their thick trunks covering the entire land.

Dozens of enormous wooden dragons, resembling whips, continuously lashed a giant wooden figure with their bodies.

The wooden figure had a ferocious expression and roared as it continuously swung its giant fists to beat the wooden dragons.

Of course, he wasn't just a pair of fists.

Behind him, dozens of fists made of tree trunks also aided his attack.

The wooden dragon and the fist kept colliding; it was either you or me that exploded.

Countless pieces of wood scattered and flew everywhere.

The very center of the battlefield was shrouded in smoke and dust.

Bakin and Machima looked down at the battlefield from their high vantage point, their beautiful eyes filled with awe.

"This is truly a cataclysmic event..."

"However, this level of combat is probably just child's play for Kaido."

"Don't forget," Bakkin said. "He still has several elemental abilities he hasn't used yet! And the power of dominance!"

Machima nodded slightly; she knew all of this.

"And then what? How do we get Lugi Arno's blood?"

"The method is very simple."

Bakkin tossed the cigarette butt he had finished smoking down the hillside and lit another cigarette.

"It all boils down to one word: wait!"

"wait?!"

Machima looked at her in surprise.

Bakin took a deep breath and exhaled a long plume of white smoke.

"Otherwise what? Do you really think we have the capability to rush into the battlefield and forcibly drain blood?"

Machima's lips twitched a few times, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Just then, a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of her eye, and Machima instinctively looked down.

A small cluster of flames began to burn on the mountainside.

"Was that the cigarette butt you just threw away?"

Bakkin glanced down and said, "It seems so, but it doesn't matter. This little fire won't hurt Kaido."

Machima nodded slightly, her urge to put out the fire immediately subsiding.

As the two women let it run its course, the small flame began to spread rapidly, gradually growing into a large fire.

Then it started as a small fire and gradually spread into a raging inferno.

After all, the entire land was covered by trees, and with so many flammable and combustible materials, once the fire started, it truly had an unstoppable tendency.

In the jungle.

To be precise, it's in the forest that Kaido and Lucci Arno created using their abilities.

The four-person team is cautiously approaching the center of the battle.

Caldera's abilities have a casting range; the closer the distance, the stronger the effect.

At the same time, if his ability creations could come into direct contact with Kaido's main body, the effect would be maximized.

Of course, as a veteran powerhouse who had spent many years on the high seas, Kedra was well aware of this.

His abilities can be defended against by domineering energy.

Before his Devil Fruit awakens, most admiral-level fighters can break his abilities using Haki.

That's why he didn't appear directly on the battlefield at the beginning.

Because his appearance would inevitably put Kaido on high alert.

After all, he's quite famous, so it's not surprising that Kaido knows him.

Once the initial kill effect is lost, Kedra's combat strength is no more than that of an ordinary lieutenant general.

In a true high-level battlefield, ordinary lieutenant generals, apart from having a slightly better ability to survive, are not much different from cannon fodder.

"Hurry! Lord Lucci Arno is doing his best to distract Kaido, we don't have much time!"

"But even if we're fast, we must be careful to stay hidden and not let Kaido find us! Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!!"

The four of them concealed their presence as much as possible, taking advantage of the huge commotion caused by the battle between Kaido and Lucci Arno, as well as the blind spots in Kaido's vision and the obstruction of trees, to get as close to Kaido's back as quickly as possible.

It was at this moment that a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the distance.

The cunning man caught the unusual sight out of the corner of his eye and instinctively turned around to look.

"what is that?"

Everyone stopped and looked in the direction he was pointing.

"It looks like flames?"

"Flames? Wildfire?"

"Holy crap! Damn it! Why is the wildfire spreading so fast?!"

When they first noticed the fire, it was just a tiny red glow.

But in the short time it took to say just a few words, a red light in the distance suddenly illuminated the entire sky.

It's like a fire that was burning firewood suddenly encountering poplar catkins, and a raging fire instantly shoots into the sky.

Unfortunately, the wind is currently blowing from the southwest, and the flames are rolling in from there.

The four of them looked around nervously.

"Is there anywhere I can hide?!"

"No! There aren't any! There are trees everywhere! They could all be set on fire by a wildfire!"

"Damn it! I don't want to end up roasted before I even finish my mission!!"

"Dig tunnels! We'll carry out the plan after the wildfires have passed!"

Kedra made this suggestion.

Upon hearing this, the other three did not hesitate any longer and immediately began to use their respective strengths to dig a hole where they could hide.

But the battlefield is always changing rapidly.

As one of the instigators of this battlefield, how could Kaido not notice the inexplicably ignited flames?

Although it deviated somewhat from his original plan, it didn't matter; he had plenty of energy.

After the fire, we can simply rearrange everything.

So Kaido decisively clapped his hands together.

"Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World!!"

The flowering trees that have grown this time belong to a type that is inherently extremely flammable and explosive.

Therefore, when Kaido's flowering tree spread into the sea of ​​fire, the flames burned at an explosive rate.

Boom boom boom...

The newly formed flowering trees kept bursting open, releasing a large amount of pollen. Then, when this pollen was ignited by flames, it immediately caused a dust explosion, and the area of ​​the sea of ​​fire expanded rapidly.

"It's too late!"

Seeing the bursting, advancing wave of fire, Kedra turned around and headed back the way they had come.

"Hurry back! There are ironwood trees at the castle! Those trees are not easily ignited!"

The first dust explosion caused by Kaido was limited to the center of the battlefield because of these iron trees, preventing the entire island from being completely ignited.

At Kedra's suggestion, the other three, no longer caring about being exposed, strode after him and ran quickly toward the castle's ironwood forest.

"Firebreak forest!!"

Lucci Arno also saw the fire explosion that Kaido deliberately set off.

So he decisively activated his Devil Fruit power, creating a firebreak forest to prevent the flames from spreading to him.

"Ugh, you think you can stop me?!"

Kaido sneered and continued to create flowering trees, knocking down the fireproof trees created by Lucci Arno.
