Gion stood at the front of the fortress, his face calm, only there were some unnoticeable emotions in his eyes.

Kaido had spoken, and they were not blind or deaf, so they had naturally known about it for a long time. They had responded from the beginning, and the warships in the fortress had already left here along with a large wave of navy.

In front of people like Kaido, ordinary soldiers are like ants, except that their lives are slightly harder, there is not much difference, they are still creatures that can be crushed to death easily.

Leaving them behind will only increase casualties.

In this regard, Gion completely learned from Eren's approach. She understood that there was no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers, even if Kaido would not specifically target ordinary soldiers.

We saw it during the Battle of the Camberin Islands. A creature like Kaido could burn at least a hundred ordinary soldiers to death with just one huge breath.

Except for the regular number of people left behind, the entire fortress has become empty. Not only that, Gion also immediately requested help from Garp. She knew clearly that she alone, even with Allen, could not get it.

How about Kaido?

When Kaido really arrived, she was able to calm down.

It’s just a fight, that’s just a fight!

When the huge green dragon that was tens to hundreds of meters long fell from Tianlong, Gion didn't say a word, and [Kinpira] was pulled out from his waist, and the cold light was directed at Kaido.

Cut it out with one knife!

Facing Kaido, she didn't show any hesitation. She didn't even say a word and just launched the attack.

Even Kaido didn't expect it at all.

Usually before a battle, it's normal for everyone to say something to express their position and show off their strong character. Why did he receive a blow to the head before he even opened his mouth?

The blade's light was like a crescent moon, and as cold as water.

With the determination of a vice-admiral, he moved forward without hesitation and crashed directly into Kaido's body.

Zheng~

When the soft chirping sound was heard, the sword had already been slashed. Kaido had not entered the fighting state before and did not react. The sword slashed directly on his body.

There are not even measures to defend Haki.

but.

The knife belonging to Gion only cut a line of blood, and it was not even half a finger deep into the flesh. It was like scraping Kaido's huge body. It might be better than scraping, but it was only limited.

Gion naturally saw the scene in front of him and drew his sword and retreated.

She remembered what Allen had said to her before. As a man who had fought against Kaido twice and made Kaido suffer both times, there was no doubt that his evaluation of Kaido was very fair.

At that time, Allen told himself that among the current top combat forces, the one with the strongest defense was naturally BigMom, whose steel skin was far more intimidating than naturally formed steel.

Next is Kaido. Although Kaido does not have the gifted defense talent of Big Mom, he has an unparalleled physical body and an animal-type phantom beast species fruit that can increase the strength of the physical body. Not to mention that he has now completed the fruit.

The awakening of abilities, in this way, the physical body's super-normal strength, coupled with the all-round improvement of physical fitness after the awakening of animal fruit abilities, it can be said that in this aspect, no one is better than Kaido.

Sure enough, as Gion retreated, the wound caused by her sword was already healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kaido did not continue to maintain the dragon-shaped posture. The vice admiral in front of him was not his main target, but his decisive character was very appealing to him.

The huge mace hit the ground, and a pit immediately appeared on the stone-paved ground: "Is this your attack? It's just like tickling. That guy Allen hasn't appeared yet. It seems that he doesn't want to attack him."

Your base takes notice of him, he is such a coward, he dare not face me?"

If he just ridiculed her, Gion might not take it seriously. After all, she was not as strong as others and had no way to defend herself when she was ridiculed. However, if it were to target Eren, she would never agree.

Gion's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled and scolded: "Don't be so sentimental, pirate. If you were really important enough, Allen would have found a way to eliminate you, just like he did with Whitebeard last time. I remember

You were here at that time and fought with him, but who was the one who escaped in the end? You have the nerve to talk nonsense here!"

Kaido was speechless. In terms of strength, there is nothing to say. The entire G-3 base combined may not be qualified, but in terms of eloquence, Kaido is naturally not as good as Gion.

She has been influenced by Allen for a long time.

"Oh, hey, hey, that's very well said. In that case, let the swordsmen of this world show their respect for me and understand the meaning of the word Kaido. Let's start from here today! A

A vice admiral and a naval base should be enough for people to remember me again!" Kaido laughed and said, since words can't do it, then let's do it.

After all, taking action is what you want to do.

Gion was not afraid: "I will live and die with the base." She knew clearly that she was no match for Kaido, but she never thought about defeating Kaido. She just needed to hold Kaido back long enough.

In this way, when Lieutenant General Garp and Allen arrive, defeating Kaido won't be a big problem.

Before that, what Gion had to do was to minimize the losses of the G-3 base and the casualties of the soldiers.

that is it.

Kaido laughed loudly: "Vice Admiral Gion, you are very good! Although you are a navy and a woman, I have to say that you are very attractive to me, and I am a little reluctant to kill you."

"Unfortunately, I don't think being praised by pirates is something worthy of showing off." Gion's expression was very dull, and she didn't care about Kaido's appreciation at all. As she said, being praised by pirates is a shame.

Just fight! The most you can get is death. I have gained enough awareness after joining the navy!"

Although Kaido had transformed from the divine dragon back to his original appearance, the sense of danger in Gion's senses was even stronger than before.

In that situation just now, she could still take the initiative, but now her knowledge tells her that if she takes action, she may suffer risks beyond imagination.

She was a little afraid to act rashly, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to talk nonsense to Kaido, otherwise she would have gone up with a knife.

In this aspect, Gion is not inferior to Eren at all.

Kaido was constantly criticized, and the pride in his heart made him a little unsettled.

Bloodshot eyes appeared little by little in his huge copper bell-like eyes. Kaido tightened his grip on the huge weapon [Hachizhai] in his hand, veins popped out on his arms, and small winding snakes entangled his arms and legs.

Under the skin of the body, there seemed to be light flickering on the originally dark skin, and the bulging muscles were full of strength. Anyone could see that Kaido's next move must be extraordinary.

The electric light on the mace flashed, and the black and red lightning penetrated the air, making a crackling sound. Then, the huge mace seemed to disappear from people's eyes. When it reappeared, it had already appeared incomparably.

The rival power shattered the surrounding air, and he appeared in front of Gion in an instant.

【Thunder Bagua】

In the future, this move, which he became more and more proficient in, caused a certain "Fifth Emperor" of the sea to suffer a lot. He even fainted from this move when they first met.

This move of Kaido's now is not as powerful as it will be in the future, but it is still one of Kaido's signature tricks, and ordinary people would never be able to withstand it.

But is Gion an ordinary person?

She is not! She is a future general candidate, now a vice-admiral, a genius in the navy who has mastered two-color Haki and has powerful swordsmanship. In addition, before, Allen specifically mentioned to her what happened during the battle with Kaido.

Her experience and skills were like dissecting Kaido in front of her.

So, Gion knows how to deal with it.

She could tell what kind of attack Kaido was going to launch from his movements before he struck, and she didn't even need to rely on Haki, which was of course impossible to use. This allowed her to face Kaido's move more calmly.

Without distracting thoughts, the moment Kaido took action, Gion understood the next move of Kaido's move and knew the trajectory of the move. She only needed to respond as she had prepared.

Faced with such a powerful and fast move, Gion not only did not choose to block, but instead of retreating at the same time as Kaido attacked, his body suddenly jumped into the air, like a waterfall of light hanging in the sky.

, slashed at Kaido's huge weapon.

It was as if a football was kicked again when it was flying forward, and it continued traveling at a faster speed.

The mace, which originally came down from the top, gained such gravity that it hit the ground directly with incomparable violent force.

boom!!

The huge sound spread to all directions. The platform made of hard rock in front of the base shook violently under Kaido's mace. Countless gravels flew outwards, and cracks spread all around.

It spread almost in the blink of an eye, and a large part of the place that could have hosted hundreds or thousands of people was destroyed.

Gion, who had used her strength to dodge this move completely, had no other emotions at all. When she followed Kaido's weapon and hit it on the stone platform, she rushed forward again with the knife, and this knife directly hit Kaido's neck.

.

Kaido was naturally aware of such a scene, but even though he had sentience, he couldn't move the weapon to his neck out of thin air. Of course, Gion's sword struck Kaido's neck like this.

The long sword wrapped around the aura of armed domination is extremely sharp, coupled with the bonus of famous swords and powerful swordsmanship, most people may not even feel anything when faced with this sword, and their heads will be chopped off.

But when such a powerful sword was struck on Kaido's body, the effect was just like that.

boom!!

After a muffled sound, Kaido was actually slashed more than ten meters away, but that was the end of it. The opportunity gained from knowing Kaido's attack capabilities and routines in advance did not achieve any unexpected results at all.

.

Kaido stood up from the ground, shook his head, and suddenly became angry: "You can only have such an effect by anticipating my attack. It is impossible to kill me. Use more force! If you can't kill me,

, I’ll kill you!”

In terms of personality, Kaido is often moody. When he is angry, he will become extremely violent. In this case, there are countless men killed by him.

After the angry Kaido finished speaking, he took action again.

It seemed to be faster than the previous move. After this attack, even Gion could only passively block and was unable to make any more responses.

【King Kong. Dysprosium】

Similar to a swordsman's flying slash, after this strike, a 'cut' from the mace struck Gion at a speed that exceeded the speed of sound.

Boom~

Gion held two swords, holding the handle with one hand, and the other hand against the back of the sword, with the blade facing outwards, standing upright in front of the slash in front of him.
