“You’ll never defeat me! I’M KAIDO!”

Kaido roared, his eyes turning completely red not from any special ability, but from pure, unadulterated rage.

Armament Haki coated his entire body, turning him a deep, solid black as he pushed himself up from under the golem’s foot.

“ROAR!”

With another furious roar, Kaido transformed into a dragon. In his dragon form, he was massive, but it all depended on what you compared him to.

Next to the Wood Golem, the dragon looked pathetically small.

BOOM!

A single punch slammed into Kaido’s head. The dragon, who had just taken flight, was smashed straight out of the sky and back into the ground.

“Still too weak.”

Shin looked down at Kaido, unimpressed. He had considered using his True Several Thousand Hands, but now it seemed like a waste. If he had, Kaido might have died of fright.

Of course, that was an exaggeration, but the True Several Thousand Hands was far beyond what Kaido could handle. He wouldn’t even have a chance to fight back.

“ROARRRRRRRRRRR!”

With another roar, Kaido spat a massive fireball, not at the golem, but directly at Shin, who was standing on its head.

Kaido knew that attacking the golem was useless. It was unbelievably durable, and now it was even coated in a layer of Armament Haki like armor. There was no way to break through it. He had to target Shin Uzumaki directly. If he could kill him, this would all be over.

That was, of course, wishful thinking. Did Kaido really have the strength to challenge Shin? He was far from it.

Faced with the incoming fireball, Shin didn’t even flinch. The flames passed harmlessly through him. Kamui rendered him untouchable. Any attack would simply phase through him, causing no damage whatsoever.

“How weak and pitiful,” Shin said calmly.

“Any other tricks? Now would be the time to use them. You won’t get another chance, Kaido.”

Shin said to Kaido, watching him with an amused expression, not even bothering to attack, as if waiting for Kaido’s next move.

Kaido was so angry he was about to lose it. ‘What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? I’ll show you what I’m made of!’

His massive claws lashed out at Shin, larger than Shin himself. But before they could reach him, the golem’s arm shot up and blocked the attack.

Don’t be fooled by the golem’s size—it was incredibly agile.

Kaido’s claws slammed into the golem’s arm and nearly shattered from the impact. It felt like hitting solid steel. No, even steel couldn’t withstand his attack. In front of him, steel was like tofu. But hitting the golem’s arm was a different story.

His dragon claws nearly broke, yet they didn’t even leave a scratch on the golem.

If it had been a normal Wood Golem, Kaido’s claws could have easily shattered its arm. But Shin’s golem was coated in Armament Haki, like a suit of armor. Of course, Shin hadn’t gone so far as to put a Susanoo on the golem—he wasn’t that sadistic. If he had, Kaido would have despaired, completely unable to fight back.

“Alright, you’ve had your shot. It’s only fair I return the favor.”

Shin said with a smile.

Then, he mercilessly punched Kaido. Kaido couldn’t block Shin’s fist. The ten punches almost turned his brain to mush.

BOOM!

The island completely shattered, sinking beneath the waves. Shin’s massive golem, however, didn’t fall into the sea. It stood on the surface of the water.

As for Kaido, he managed to stay airborne, narrowly avoiding falling into the sea. If he had, it would have been a truly pathetic end.

“You really are durable. Even Whitebeard couldn’t have taken that many of my punches. The fact that you’re still standing is impressive.”

Shin said to Kaido, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Shin was genuinely impressed. This Kaido really was durable. ‘Should I spare him? He’d make a decent punching bag.’

But the thought only lasted for a moment before he dismissed it. He had said he would kill Kaido, and he would. He wouldn’t leave him alive.

“Shin Uzumaki, what the hell did I ever do to you!” Kaido roared.

At this moment, Shin had no idea how utterly frustrated Kaido felt. He hadn’t done anything to Shin Uzumaki, so why was he being targeted? It had to be related to Whitebeard. Kaido immediately thought of him.

“Whatever Whitebeard offered you, I can match it!” Kaido shouted at Shin.

Shin just looked at him, amused. Was Kaido really trying to buy him off?

But Kaido had no idea what he could possibly offer.

Treasure? Please. Once Kaido was dead, everything he had would belong to Shin anyway.

As for anything else, what could Kaido possibly have? If he had a rare Devil Fruit, maybe Shin would consider sparing him. But if Kaido had a rare Devil Fruit, he would have given it to one of his subordinates already.

“Actually, what Whitebeard offered me wasn’t that great. I’m dealing with you simply because I want to.”

Shin said calmly to Kaido.

Shin wasn’t here for Whitebeard’s benefit. He wasn’t here for any deal he made. He’s here because he felt like it. Otherwise, why would he go out of his way to deal with Kaido? Did he really think Whitebeard’s promises were enough to satisfy him?

For other pirates, treasure might be their ultimate goal. After all, that was what being a pirate was all about, right? Treasure and fame.

But Shin didn’t care about those things. If wealth was his goal, he wouldn’t be wasting his time on pirates. He’d just go straight to the source and rob the Celestial Dragons blind. After all, they’d been hoarding treasure for centuries. The combined wealth of every pirate on the seas probably couldn’t match what they had stashed away.

Kaido stared at Shin, his frustration boiling over. Shin’s words almost made him snap.
