Stalling

A figure could been seen blitzing through the icy lands of Hyokaido, whilst simultaneously dragging along a large injured man across the ground.

'Fuck this is annoying, I'm like a sitting duck at the moment' thought Ray as his chances of survival continued to decline.

Regardless of how strong Ray had grown these past few years, he was no match for a Yonko. Not to mention he had brought along King as well.

As Ray was running at full speed but he sensed danger suddenly, utilising his Observation Haki, he foresaw a blast aimed directly where he was.

Ray hastily chucked Queen's unconscious body away and used to Soru to appear a decent distance away. As he had expected, a devastating blast of fire appeared before him, melting the surrounding ice into water.

The shockwave sent Ray tumbling backwards. 'As expected of a mighty Yonko' Ray thought as he looked up at the two distant figures.

Kaido ate the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allowed him to transform into a full serpentine Azure Dragon and also human-dragon hybrid at will.

His full Beast Form was massive, roughly half the size of a small town, and was covered with extremely durable, blue scales, dramatically increasing the tremendous natural durability of Kaido. 

"Wo Ro Ro Ro, it seems you're quite capable brat" said Kaidou as he seemed slightly amused.

"Why don't you come down here, my neck is killing looking all the way up there" commented Ray.

In response, Kaido transformed back to his human form, as then a massive figure fell down from the sky at a rapid pace and smashed onto the ice. A massive crater was created below his feet, despite the height, Kaido remained unfazed.

'Tch, fucking monster' Ray now fully understood, he was in trouble.

Without wasting any time, Kaido unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, directing it towards Ray. Despite the oppressive feeling, Ray was unwilling to back down.

ZzzZt

Ray responded to Kaido's Haki by releasing his own, Their Conqueror's Haki clashed with one another, it was a manifestation and clash of pure willpower. They were locked in a stalemate until Kaido's Conqueror's Haki started to slowly overpower Ray's own. As expected, Kaido's decades worth of experience had developed his Haki into something very few could match.

ZzZZzt

"Brat, you use it as well?!?" questioned Kaido in annoyance.

Ray responded with a smirk and then proceed to slowly unsheathe Kurenza. Taking a deep breath, Ray prepared his body for this battle as he clenched all his muscles. Slowly exhaling, Ray muttered...

One Sword Style- Armageddon

Kurenza was then fully unsheathed, as a deadly spark of energy was released from the tip of the blade, that energy transforming into a enormous air slash. One formed out of pure Haki as it was headed straight towards Kaido. 

Despite the powerful waves of Haki emitted from Ray's attack, Kaido remained unfazed and didn't even bother blocking or dodging. Letting it simply make contact with his body.

Ray's slash connected with Kaido, creating a massive shockwave as it was simply a terrific attack, Ray's technique and strength was put to display as the slash eventually penetrated through Kaido's thick skin.

Ray had done it, he had made Kaido bleed, a feat very few could achieve.

"Wo Ro Ro Ro Ro, it seems I underestimated you brat, however playtime's over" as soon as Kaido uttered those words, he vanished from his spot. 

Not even a fraction of second later, he appeared in front Ray, aiming his spiked kanabo at Ray. Using his Observation Haki, Ray could barely determine Kaido's figure as he wasted no time.

Simply imbuing his katana in Armament Haki and directed it towards Kaido.

Thunder Bagua

Soon both of their attacks met, or rather their Haki as their weapons weren't even in contact with one another, showcasing their mastery in Armament Haki. 

"HA HA HAH AH, come on Kaido, show me the might of a Yonko!!" shouted Ray with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"It's too early for you... to compete with me, little brat!" declared Kaido as he increased his strength, which overpowered Ray's attack and it connected directly onto his torso. This ultimately sent Ray flying back as the impact was too powerful. 

'That isn't even the full might of his powers, ah man this is too exciting' thought Ray as he was soaring through the sky, soon though, he crashed into the side of a cliff, causing Ray to be firmly indented into the wall.

Gathering his strength, Ray soon jumped away from the wall as an imposing figure crashed into it, shredding the wall like paper. Ray's Observation Haki was put to display as had he not dodged that, it would've left him in critical condition.

Through Soru, Ray appeared near Kaido's side instantly, aiming a slash upwards, however reacted in time and blocked. Ray's blow was thoroughly halted before Kaido blasted Ray away with a kick.

Regaining control over his body, Ray did a few backflips mid-air and landed calmly on the ground further away.

Both figures appeared before one another as they restarted their battle, attacks formed of Haki and mighty swordsmanship flew left and right but Kaido thwarted them all, his physical strength and Haki was ridiculous.

In the sky further away, King watched their battle while not bothering to interrupt. King's confidence in Kaido knew no limits, however, he was surprised at Ray's display. Although he was losing, King was still impressed regardless. 

King's thoughts were interrupted immediately as figure of light appeared before him, he momentarily heard a single question.

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" was what King heard before he was blasted like a kite into the ground without resistance.
