The healing effect possessed by Zoan types is most effective in their beast form.
Transformed into the Azure Dragon, Kaido can heal from minor wounds in just a few seconds as long as his stamina is sufficient.
At the same time.
Kaido's Azure Dragon form boasts a wide array of long-range attack methods, making him essentially a mobile artillery platform capable of providing fire support against Nicholas.
"Wind scythe!"
Kaido opened his massive jaws and forcefully spewed forth dozens of gigantic wind blades towards Nicholas.
Swish swish!
The wind blades tore through the air, flying past Charlotte Linlin, who was charging towards Nicholas with Zeus, and directly assaulting Nicholas.
"Hmm?"
Charlotte Linlin watched as the wind blades flew towards Nicholas, then turned her head abruptly, roaring, "Kaido, I told you, that bastard is my prey!!!"
"Hahaha, I've said it before, this is my territory, and it's not your place to boss me around here!"
Kaido's voice, accompanied by the rumble of thunder behind him, reached Charlotte Linlin's ears.
At that moment, a deafening roar suddenly rang out in the arena.
It was Nicholas swiftly dodging the dozens of gigantic wind blades that Kaido had spewed out.
And these wind blades, whistling through the air, crashed into the distant buildings of Flower Capital, instantly creating dozens of new intersecting pathways within the city.
Attacks with such strong cutting power are generally avoided if possible.
After all, stamina is crucial in battle.
Wasting energy on unnecessary engagements is not wise.
Seeing Nicholas easily neutralize Kaido's attack, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but ignore mocking Kaido, urging Zeus to quickly close the distance between her and Nicholas.
"Heavenly Fire!"
As the distance closed, Charlotte Linlin didn't directly wield the giant sword Napoleon for an attack. Instead, she tore off a mass of flames from Prometheus on her head and hurled it towards Nicholas.
The thrown flame, fueled by the wind in midair, quickly turned into a torrential sea of fire, pouring down towards Nicholas from above.
It was as if heavenly fire was pouring down from the sky.
"The scale and power of this fire, it's truly fitting for someone with the Soru Soru no Mi..."
Nicholas looked at the sea of flames with emotion.
However, his movements were swift, indicating that he also understood why Charlotte Linlin chose to use a wide-area attack like Heavenly Fire instead of a slashing attack like before. She probably saw Kaido's wind blades earlier and intended to leave no room for Nicholas to dodge.
"Thunder Dragon Emerges from the Sea."
As the reflection of the sea of fire shimmered in Nicholas's eyes, a hundred-Metre-long thunderous dragon, with flames burning in the air, whirled around him as he spoke.
"Boom!"
The swirling thunderous dragon emerged from the midst of the blazing flames in the sky, like a dragon plunging into the sea, tearing apart the sea of flames and roaring towards Charlotte Linlin.
"This guy..."
Seeing her Heavenly Fire blocked by the Thunder Dragon, Charlotte Linlin was momentarily stunned.
Then she saw the Thunder Dragon leaping out of the sea of flames and roaring towards her.
Without hesitation, Charlotte Linlin drove Zeus forward, wielding Napoleon, which was wrapped in flames and thunder, high above her head, charging towards Nicholas.
"Thunderfire Shatterblade!"
The Napoleon longsword, wrapped in flames and thunder, instantly shredded the hundred-Metre-long Thunder Dragon, crashing down towards Nicholas.
Facing this terrifying onslaught, Nicholas could easily withstand it.
However—
He glanced at Kaido, who was brewing an attack in the distance.
So Nicholas's strategy was very clear.
This wave of attacks could be taken head-on, but there was no need.
With flames and thunder closing in, facing Charlotte Linlin's incoming devastating move, Nicholas decisively dodged to the side.
Feeling the strange sensation transmitted from the Napoleon longsword, and seeing Nicholas's complete lack of the demeanor of a strong individual, Charlotte Linlin felt slightly puzzled.
"You coward, face me like a man, you brat!!!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Charlotte Linlin's heart was filled with indescribable anger.
With Charlotte Linlin's anger, the monstrous body emitted terrifying sounds, mixed with the terrifying aura emanating from her.
Causing even the members of the fleeing Kozuki remnants to turn pale with fear.
"Is such a person really our opponent?"
Kikunojo muttered to himself.
And on the battlefield of White Harbor, several factions also saw the changes in the sky direction of Flower Capital and the violent aura.
"Your captain is finished."
Smirking, he knew full well that there were two monsters waiting for Nicholas in Flower Capital.
"Ah, your captain won't do anything without assurance, but you?" King smirked as he received Vista's punch
"You don't seem as impressive as the records suggest? Could it be that the 'God' of the past was so weak? No wonder he was driven out of Red Soil Continent by those guys and became an endangered species."
Vista said with a frown after punching King out.
...
Perhaps due to the change brought about by anger, Charlotte Linlin's figure suddenly surged.
Her already giant stature increased to over twenty meters tall, almost comparable to a true giant.
"A truly deserving monster..."
Seeing Charlotte Linlin's immense growth, Nicholas couldn't help but sigh.
It could be said that some are born in Rome, and some are born as cattle and horses.
At the age of six, Charlotte Linlin's physique and combat power were probably heights that many people couldn't reach in their entire lives.
And Charlotte Linlin, who was addicted to childbirth and various sweets without any exercise, relying solely on her innate physique and Soul Soul Fruit, could firmly hold her place in the sea where strong contenders emerge one after another.
As Nicholas marveled at Charlotte Linlin's talent, a scorching breath crossed the sky over half of Flower Capital and directly attacked him.
This attack, full of astonishing destructive power, came from Kaido, who was completely transformed into a beast.
It's fair to say that both of them, being top contenders on the sea, have an incredibly keen sense of battle.
The timing of this attack with the surging hot breath was just too perfect.
Facing the sweeping hot breath, Nicholas instantly swung his sword, splitting the breath in half from a distance.
The halved breath fell on both sides, triggering intense explosions.
Facing two opponents at once.
From the beginning until now, Nicholas has not shown any signs of being at a disadvantage.
On the contrary, he seems to have the upper hand.
Of course, this is also because Nicholas has developed his Devil Fruit ability to a high level, as well as his comprehensive development of Haki and swordsmanship.
A hexagonal warrior without weaknesses is truly powerful.
"You really know how to seize opportunities."
Looking up at Kaido circling below the clouds, Nicholas couldn't help but marvel.
"In a sense, if I can defeat you two with a direct confrontation, I should have the qualification to fight that guy, right..."
Nicholas thought to himself silently.
As an Emperor of the Sea, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido are of the same type of contenders.
They possess extraordinary physical strength, terrifying power, and formidable Three-color Haki, coupled with the development of their Devil Fruits, making them monstrous-level powerhouses.
In many ways, such powerhouses, are worthy of being called emperors.
