156 Thousand arms avalokiteshvara!

Kaido, who had returned to his humanoid form, seemed like a humanoid beast. The coiling purple lightning around his wielded Kanabo emitted a dauntingly dangerous aura.

A fierce expression crossed Kaido's rugged face. Clearly, Nicholas's words had deeply wounded him. The events he experienced in that research facility were something he never wanted to recall.

And for Kaido, the best way to vent his frustration was—

Thunder Bagua!

Kaido suddenly moved, his figure disappearing into thin air. It was a speed so extreme, completely contradicting his burly physique!

Facing the rapidly approaching Kaido,

Ziing—

Nicholas casually undid the upper part of his clothes, revealing the fierce dragon tattoo on his body along with strange symbols intertwined with the dragon's body.

"It seems I'll have to F@ck you up a bit, Kaido," Nicholas said, adjusting his neck.

"F@ck me?" Kaido looked at Nicholas, his eyes cold, and the power on his Kanabo intensified. He intended to use his big club to crush the person in front of him, who had repeatedly brought him shame.

But Nicholas just smiled, silent. With a thought, the dragon tattoo on his body seemed to come alive, and the strange symbols on the dragon's body flickered. At this moment, Nicholas maximized the power of the Goro Goro no Mi to its fullest extent, performing a kalesvara mudra he chanted.

Domain expansion- Eternal Thunder Empire!

[AN- NO jjk memes pls 🗿]

Underneath the dark clouds, above the earth, all the lightning in the sky seemed to respond to their Sovereign's call, converging from all directions towards Nicholas.

Seeing this scene, Vista didn't hesitate and swiftly carried Alber, striding away. Similarly, seeing the situation, Shimotsuki Ushimaru had already left the central position of the battlefield without a word.

Countless thunderstorms surrounded Nicholas, forming a thunderous kingdom around him. Buildings, flora, even thunderous creatures—all created from lightning—illuminated the area as if another silver sun had risen on the ground.

"Awakened abilities, huh? But this seems to be a natural type..."

Kaido looked coldly at the constantly active thunder around him. At this moment, all these thunderstorms had turned into terrifying weapons. Even a small flower made of lightning was enough to destroy a town.

It was a sea of lightning, overwhelming and destructive, with an aura that made one's soul shudder.

Witnessing Nicholas's Thunder Empire, Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Alber were astonished.

Even from afar, it was terrifying. It was hard to imagine the ordeal Kaido was enduring within it.

"Wororororo, quite interesting indeed..."

Facing Nicholas's power, Kaido focused entirely on enjoying this fight.

With a determined gaze, Kaido didn't hesitate to unleash his rarely seen human-beast form to its full potential, covering his entire body with armament Haki.

Szzt—

Horns sprouted from his head, eyebrows ablaze like flames, hovering over his vertically slit pupils filled with a ferocious gleam.

Blue dragon scales rapidly appeared on Kaido's cheeks and exposed skin, becoming more prominent around his sturdy shoulders, surrounded by flaming ribbons that extended to his wrists.

At the same time, a strong and powerful tail swept behind him.

Squeak—

Purple electric arcs danced around Kaido's body. Clearly, Kaido, fully armored in Haki, now had the capability to move within Nicholas's Thunder Empire.

With a fierce gleam in his eyes, Kaido surged forward, wielding his Kanabo and smashing towards Nicholas.

As Kaido charged, he became an enemy within this thunderous world. Countless bolts of lightning struck him, causing his skin to split open, revealing bone, and his body to turn black as he endured unimaginable damage.

Though severely injured, Kaido's spirit soared. Far from being defeated, his fighting spirit only grew stronger.

"Wororororo bring it onnnnnnnn..."

With a swing of his kanabo he dispersed a chunk of lightning in Nicholas's domain, but the void left by Kaido was refilled by the persistent lightning again.

Nicholas, looking at Kaido smirked distainfully.

"Destroyer of Death Thunder Bagua"

"Conqueror of Three World's Ragnaraku"

"Kundali Dragon Swarm"

"Thunder Bellow Bagua"

"Boro Blast"

Kaido simultaneously used 5 of his strongest moves but inside Nicholas's domain, everything was useless.

"You Bastard, I will kill you at any cost….."

The lightning constantly charred his body, but he recovered in the next second.

Kaido on the verge of blacking out screamed like a beast.

"Hmm?"

Nicholas inside the domain felt a strange aura on Kaido, he even felt a tinge of threat from him.

"Is this the second awakening of devil fruit? Looks like it's time to end this farce"

"Deity summon - Thousand hands avalokiteshvara"

Nicholas forming a praying gesture chanted, on the dragon tattoo, the blue runes glowed. His voice ethereal as a deity Chimed all across wano.

A 100000 feet tall bodhisattva figure appeared in the skies of wano. Anyone who saw this scene was flabbergasted and prostrated in reverence.

Far away vista was solemn, even if his conqueror's haki was superior to Nicholas, he could never surpass this majesty. Like others, he also prostrated.

Meanwhile Kaido was even more excited, he has never been excited this much in his entire life.

"This majesty… This is a god!"

In his entire life Kaido has never been afraid of anyone, even now, even if there was a deity in front of him, even if death was ahead of him, he never thought of taking back a step. This was the dignity of a true emperor!

Nicholas admired this trait, therefore without any chit-chat he used his full power to attack Kaido.

"SEAL"

With a domineering voice, Nicholas commanded the thousand arm avalokiteshvara to thrash the foe in front of him.

The thousand arm avalokiteshvara started its flurry of punches….

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Minutes later, as the thunder subsided, leaving behind a devastated landscape, Kaido's appearance had drastically changed. He now lay on the ground, many wounds exposing bone, his body battered and burnt, resembling one who had endured brutal torture.

"Stand proud Kaido, you are strong!"

Nicholas, now reappearing beside Kaido, squatted down to observe the unconscious figure.

It appeared that the idea of immortality was just a joke. Kaido must still have had scientific value, or else the Navy would not have pursued him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to explain why Kaido hadn't caused the Navy any more problems after Vegapunk was able to successfully clone his lineage factor to create an artificial Devil Fruit.

Looking at Kaido on the ground, Nicholas directed a warning to Alber and Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who had stayed alert.

"Take Kaido away. And when he wakes up, tell him he can do whatever he wants in Wano, but it's best not to interfere with me. Understand?"

With that, Nicholas turned and left. His purpose for coming here had been achieved—having a physical conversation with Kaido. As for what Kaido planned to do in Wano, it had little relevance to him. His priority was to ensure his own interests in Wano.

After Nicholas and Vista departed, Alber, now in his Pteranodon form, lifted Kaido from the ground and flew off into the distance. Before Kaido recovered, Alber wouldn't head to Flower Capital. No one knew what schemes the members of the Kurozumi Family were plotting.

With everyone gone, Shimotsuki Ushimaru tightened his grip on his twin swords.

He knew that from this moment on, the situation in Wano had completely spiraled out of control.
