Chapter 307 : Yamato!!

When Luffy rose once more, the crowd was left dumbfounded.

"What! Luffy's on his feet again?"

Everyone was stunned. Secretly, they had all hoped Luffy would triumph over Kaido without succumbing in battle.

But... this was beyond belief.

Throughout the battle, Luffy had fallen numerous times only to rise again.

Those acquainted with him knew of his resilient spirit and exaggerated recovery capabilities.

To the uninitiated, it seemed as if he was engaging in a relentless series of sit-ups, continuously bouncing back to his feet.

At Navy Headquarters, the sight of Luffy standing filled Garp with joy.

"He truly is my grandson. Remarkable! Stand tall and conquer Kaido!"

Within the halls of Navy Headquarters, Garp's enthusiastic cheers echoed with pride.

Meanwhile, Sengoku's expression was one of bemusement, lines of incredulity etched across his face.

"Garp, your grandson... What an indomitable will!"

"Ordinary folk couldn't withstand Kaido's blows, let alone rise again. Yet here he stands, just like you!"

"It seems idiocy and tenacity are hereditary in your bloodline..."

Garp erupted into laughter. "I'll take that as a compliment for now!"

Behind them, Akainu and the other two admirals were left dumbfounded.

Putting themselves in Luffy's shoes, even as the highest-ranking officers, they knew facing Kaido was a daunting prospect.

They couldn't guarantee enduring as long as Luffy, nor remaining standing after Kaido's relentless assaults.

It must be acknowledged that Luffy's growth rate and strength have far surpassed anyone's expectations.

Kizaru and Aokiji were taken aback, but they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

However, Akainu harbored a deep desire for Luffy's demise. As he witnessed Luffy's unwavering resolve, his expression contorted into a grotesque visage.

Simultaneously, a thread of unease snaked its way into his heart...

---

[It was revealed that Luffy had previously been defeated by Kaido and thrown into the sea, yet miraculously, he didn't sink.]

[Instead, it was the Heart Pirates who, with their submarine, managed to rescue him.]

[Realizing the critical nature of the ongoing war and the vital importance of Luffy's combat prowess, they desperately endeavored to save him.]

[Yet, all their efforts seemed futile as his injuries were grave...]

[Just when everyone had resigned to the idea that Luffy wouldn't rise again, he suddenly sat up.]

[Then, with a weary expression, he began to demand... "Meat! Bring me meat!"]

[Upon hearing this, everyone scurried to gather all the available food on the submarine, which Luffy promptly devoured in a single gulp!]

[In the blink of an eye, the food vanished down his throat, and he rose to his feet once more!]

[His aura emanated a vitality as if he had been resurrected with renewed vigor, as though the battle had never taken its toll on him!]

[Everyone on the ship stood in stunned silence. What sort of monstrous being was this?]

[Meanwhile, on Onigashima, Kaido, having defeated Luffy, originally intended to eliminate everyone...]

[But in that critical moment, his son, Yamato, rose to confront him!]

The scene unfolding in the live broadcast left countless viewers utterly speechless...

Truth be told, had this spectacle occurred with anyone else, it would undoubtedly have been dismissed as fake.

But when it involves Luffy...

Well, it's entirely believable!

Feast on food, and you're resurrected with full vigor.

Those in the know understand it's thanks to Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit ability, while others speculate about some "Gluttony Fruit."

Seeing Luffy rise again filled everyone with excitement.

It appears the battle between him and Kaido is far from over!

In this clash among the Four Emperors, the Straw Hat Pirates... still have a fighting chance!

[Kaido was livid at Yamato's interference!]

[Under normal circumstances, he might have indulged his son's antics, but not now, not at this crucial juncture...]

[Taking a stand against him now clearly delineated their positions...]

[At this point, familial ties were irrelevant!]

[Kaido was consumed by fury, unleashing his full might upon Yamato!]

[Now Yamato grasped the true extent of his father's power...]

[After a few exchanges, he found himself struggling, teetering on the brink of defeat...]

[Yet with the spirit of a samurai burning within, he resolved to fight for the land of Wano.]

[Yamato unleashed all his power, invoking the Devil Fruit and transforming into the form of the Okuchi no Makami!]

[It must be acknowledged, Yamato possesses formidable strength, augmented by the powers of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, easily rivaling that of the Warlords of the Sea!]

[However, he faced not a Warlord but the Emperor of the Sea...]

[Finally, after an extended battle with Kaido, he reached his limit.]

[Kaido's frenzy knew no bounds; even after Yamato's defeat, he refused to relent!]

[His desire was to pummel the one who betrayed him until they were utterly incapable of fighting back!]

[As Kaido's devastating blow threatened to descend upon Yamato, she found herself powerless to resist...]

[But then, in that critical moment, Luffy emerged!]

[He radiated an aura of unyielding determination, riding atop a colossal pink dragon. Apart from its hue, which differed from Kaido's draconic form, it bore a striking resemblance, exuding immense majesty!]

[And that pink behemoth of a dragon was none other than Momonosuke!]

[Luffy encountered him en route to this confrontation. In service to the entirety of Wano, Momonosuke, once a mere child, relinquished the powers of artificial Devil Fruits and forcibly matured himself.]

[Thus, the transformed dragon now stood in its adult form, far removed from its former diminutive stature.]

[In the name of Wano, he confronted his own fears and guided Luffy to face Kaido...]

[Though Kaido prided himself on being well-informed and rarely took anything seriously, he was utterly stupefied by Luffy's reappearance.]

[Wasn't this kid knocked into the sea by his own staff?]

[How could he be here... again?]

[You couldn't beat him down. No matter how hard you tried...]
