chapter 78

After all, people are different, and the boy in front of him is no ordinary person; he is an evildoer, a peerless evildoer! Perhaps only Monkey D. Mu Feng, the 17-year-old who defeated Sakazuki and became an Admiral at Headquarters, could rival this kid.

This era is truly insane...

To have two evildoers of this caliber appear in such a short span of time, something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years! If only the Marines had a monopoly on these evildoers...

In 20 years, when Whitebeard's strength reaches its peak, he could potentially eradicate all the pirates and dominate the seas. However, now there are two terrifying evildoers!

Rayleigh couldn't help but feel excited.

He eagerly anticipated a clash between Mu Feng and... no, wait, it should be Senju Hashirama. If Mu Feng ever found out what Rayleigh was thinking, he would be speechless. He might even want to beat himself up, given Mu Feng's penchant for seeking out challenges.

Just as Mu Feng was contemplating the Conqueror's Haki of the Red Hair and Kaido, he suddenly noticed a punch, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, heading straight for him!

"That guy Kaido... he's really going all out," Mu Feng muttered.

"Wood Style·Wooden Blooming Wall!"

A wooden wall materialized out of thin air, blocking Kaido's attack.

Seeing his attack being blocked, Kaido frowned. Could it be a person with the Wood-wood Fruit ability? To withstand his attack, they must possess the strength of a Vice Admiral. With this thought, a stern smile appeared on Kaido's face.

Killing a Marine Vice Admiral would surely cause great distress among the Marines. Kaido no longer paid attention to the Red Hair and kicked off the ground, leaving deep footprints as he propelled himself like a cannonball towards the Marine battleship.

The Red Hair looked puzzled at the sight of the inexplicable Marine battleship. It seemed that Mu Mu Fruit's ability was at play. As Uncle Rayleigh had mentioned, the Vice President of the Hunter Guild possessed the Mu Mu Fruit ability. It was impossible for two identical Devil Fruits to exist in the world. This meant that it wasn't the Marines on the battleship but...

The Red Hair squinted and focused on the Marine battleship in the distance. Sure enough, he spotted a familiar figure on the ship's side. A slight smile formed on his face as he was both shocked and relieved. The Hunter Guild had appeared, but BIG MOM was nowhere to be seen.

In other words, the Hunter Guild had successfully repelled BIG MOM.

Moreover, it had taken them less than five days from accepting the mission in the Chambord Islands to reaching their current location. Even if they had traveled at full speed from the Chambord Islands, it would have been difficult to reach so quickly, not to mention the possible encounter with BIG MOM.

How long did it take them to deal with BIG MOM entirely?

Shanks, too, was amazed by the turn of events.

As Kaido charged towards him, Mu Feng frowned.

He glanced at Rayleigh, who was leisurely drinking wine.

Mu Feng shook his head, realizing he couldn't rely on this old man.

"Drink!" Without hesitation, Mu Feng entered Sage Mode. Fighting Kaido with his Immune to Death ability held no interest for him. Although the opportunity was right in front of him, he couldn't kill him. It was a heart-wrenching situation for Mu Feng.

"Sage Art Wood Style·Myojin Gate!!!"

A massive vermilion torii-shaped structure descended from the sky, trapping Kaido tightly and plunging him into the depths of the sea. But it didn't end there; a series of Myojin Gates followed, crashing into the sea.

Rayleigh, witnessing this scene, twitched his mouth. He had personally experienced the power of the Myoshin Gate and nearly drowned himself. However, Rayleigh couldn't fathom Kaido being drowned. If Kaido, known as an undying monster, could be drowned, the Marines would have done it many times over.

"Who did that!? Someone threw the boss into the sea! Red Hair's reinforcements!?" Wind Catastrophe, who was engaged in a fight with Beckman, couldn't help but feel horror at the sight. He had never seen his boss being knocked down so easily.

Seizing the opportunity, Benn Beckman shot Wind Catastrophe in the right shoulder, cigar still in his mouth. With a smile, he said, "Hey... It's not a good habit to be distracted during a fight." Even he couldn't contain his astonishment.

It was just a single move, and it took down Kaido...

Such immense strength made it clear that the Hunter Guild was no ordinary group.

"Damn it!" Wind Catastrophe clenched his teeth, his face filled with fierce determination. He stopped thinking about anything else and resumed fighting Beckman. Even though his boss had been knocked into the sea, it didn't mean the sky was falling for the Beasts Pirates. Wind Catastrophe knew very well that his boss possessed not just power or Haki, but an almost immortal resilience.

In another part of the battle, the disaster fighting Yasopp and Lucky Roux froze for a moment before continuing the fight against the two.

..............

"Let's deal with the Red Hair first. Otherwise, if Kaido breaks free and destroys the ship while we're fighting, we won't have a way back to the Chambord Islands," Mu Feng instructed.

He then walked straight into the sea, with Rayleigh following closely behind.

Watching Mu Feng and Rayleigh walk on water, Shanks sheathed his Western sword. Sporting a wide grin, he said, "Uncle Rayleigh, long time no see. And this must be the Vice President of the Hunter Guild, Senju Hashirama, I presume."
