Chapter 95: Yamato Is Seriously Injured! Rayleigh Must Die!

In the distance, Kaido had already sensed the situation. He frowned and glanced at Dragon on the ground before quickly flying over. Dragon, without the use of his hands, had no ability to fight head-on. Kaido didn't think he would resist anymore. Yamato, on the other hand, seemed to be in more danger.

Kaido wasn't sure how much strength Rayleigh had left, and with the possibility of a sneak attack, he might not be able to deal with it. "Tsk," Kaido thought, "Such an old man still playing sneak attacks. Shameless, but effective." It had certainly drawn his attention.

Yamato continued speaking, not in a hurry. "I don't know why so many people want to save him, do you really think you can?" she asked. "My dad has been preparing to kill him for a long time, and he'll die by my dad's hand today."

Rayleigh, seemingly unbothered, replied, "I'll save him because you're in my hands now. Kaido might be a little jealous." Rayleigh didn't mind talking to her, knowing Kaido was the one who made the decisions.

"Well, I did say so," Yamato conceded. "You should be strong, right? Dad said you're on a similar level to the other Four Emperors. Have you been to Raftel? What does it look like? Is what Roger said about One Piece true? You've sailed many islands, right? It's so amazing. I want to travel the world too."

Yamato's questions flowed freely, making her sound more like an eager student than a hostage. Rayleigh was silent, looking at her twice. Kaido's daughter didn't seem to inherit his evil side. She appeared to be a girl who obeyed Kaido and loved adventure.

Rayleigh cleared his thoughts. Despite her demeanor, she was still an enemy. Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of air waves. Kaido had returned.

Rayleigh looked at the figure in the sky and said with a faint smile, "How about a life for a life?"

"Not good," Kaido replied coldly, his body descending slowly. "Can you keep him?" He spoke mildly. "Everyone who came to save this kid today will die here, including you."

"If you want to save your daughter, let me take away the remaining Straw Hat Pirates," Rayleigh suggested confidently. "Can I keep them?" Swap one for one or trade Yamato for the entire pirate group.

Kaido frowned, looking at Rayleigh's sword, and thought, "This old man is really good. Even if saving Luffy, and dying in front of him, is part of the plan. But sneak attacking Yamato…"

Just as Kaido was about to agree and then find a chance to kill Rayleigh and reclaim the Straw Hat Pirates, something unexpected happened. Yamato took a step back without protection, allowing the sword to pierce her flesh and flank.

In a state of shock, Kaido's expression turned ice cold. Rayleigh didn't dare to draw his sword and saw Kaido's furious expression. Hart pounding, he knew things were bad.

At that moment, the palm of Rayleigh's hand, gripping the hilt, turned cold, as if grasping ice.

At the same moment, Yamato in front of him had transformed into a human-beast form again. The cold air overflowed around them. Rayleigh only heard Yamato's teeth gritting in pain.

"Shhh~~"

"Don't underestimate me, old man," Yamato said. "You said the straw hat will die today. Do you want to hold me hostage and threaten Daddy? How could I possibly make you happy!"

A thin layer of frost began to spread from Rayleigh's palm, and the extreme cold slowly invaded. Rayleigh knew he shouldn't hesitate, so he immediately drew his sword, but he only shook it slightly. This woman grabbed the sword?

The cold continued to invade, and even with the use of Armament Haki, it was difficult to stop the cold. Rayleigh's face suddenly darkened. He released the hilt of his sword and jumped out of the attack range after a blast. 

What he didn't expect was that Yamato predicted his movements and followed. The blade protruding from the front of her abdomen had frozen. Yamato jumped up high and smashed down with a mace.

"Ice Slash!!"

Rayleigh lost his weapon, making his best swordplay unworkable. He could only put his fingers together in a palm shape, attach all his power, and strike towards the attacking mace.

Rumble!!!!

Conqueror's Haki collided, and the sky and earth instantly changed color. The world was once again gloomy, and a crack stronger than Sabo's but weaker than Kaido's appeared in the sky again.

Sky: .... I'm getting used to it.

However, Rayleigh, having lost his weapon, couldn't exert his full strength. He could only actively unload the force after the clash. With the power of Yamato, he retreated more than ten meters away.

"What a strong and intelligent woman," Rayleigh thought after landing smoothly. She was just like Shakky when she was young but much stronger.

At his own expense, Rayleigh had lost his weapon and defused his only means to negotiate with Kaido. Rayleigh took a deep breath, his eyelids wrinkled, and the emptiness of his hands made him feel uncomfortable.

But at this point, he couldn't retreat.

Yamato, who had repelled Rayleigh with a stick, fell to one knee after landing. Her erect ears trembled slightly, her body also spasming slightly, and one hand pressed on the hilt of the sword in her waist and abdomen. It seemed her body was tortured by Rayleigh's Emission. Even though she had used her Armament Haki to dissolve it quickly, she was still injured a lot.

Kaido hid his anger, quietly walked to her side, rubbed Yamato's head, and said softly, "You've done well enough, Yamato. Go rest, and leave it to me next."

"Ah~ I didn't disappoint you, Daddy," Yamato raised her head, squinting her eyes with a smile.

"Nope. You are my most wonderful daughter," Kaido said with a look of appreciation and concern.

"That's good....... Uh...." Yamato let out a soft sigh of pain.

Kaido quickly cut off the front and back ends of the longsword, so fast that it didn't aggravate her injury. Then he held his palm in the air, and layers of flame clouds appeared under Yamato's feet, directly supporting her. He controlled the flame cloud to fly to Tezzolo.

As long as the richest man in the world doesn't want to die, he should know what to do.

After sending Yamato away, Kaido's figure suddenly jumped high.

Boom!!!

The ground in the entire venue instantly crumbled. The ruins and Luffy in the entire venue sank one more layer. Locking onto Rayleigh's direction, Kaido's unprecedented killing intent emerged!
