"Going all out?"
In the dimly lit basement, King was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened slightly as he set the barbell down on the ground, looking at Caesar in disbelief. "You... have Foresight?!"
Caesar shook his head. "No, not yet."
King was immediately speechless. "Then why did you come to fight me?"
Gurgle—
As soon as he finished speaking, Caesar's stomach let out a thunderous growl.
"I think you should go eat first, and maybe take a shower while you're at it. Did you fall into the water?"
King glanced at Caesar's sweat-soaked clothes and scoffed lightly. "In your current state, you're worse off than when you fought me before."
"No, right now!"
Caesar shook his head, a flash of crimson in his eyes as a surge of vitality erupted from him, instantly dispelling his hunger.
"You..."
King furrowed his brow. With Caesar's current strength, there was no room for either of them to hold back in their fight.
Once the outcome was decided, it would inevitably be accompanied by severe injury or even death for one of them.
Moreover, the meaning of their battles had already changed drastically. Before, their fights were about teaching, but now, every battle between Caesar and him, or between Caesar and Kaidou, was a challenge to Kaidou's authority.
"With your rate of growth, surpassing me is inevitable once you master Foresight. Why can't you even wait that long?"
"I'm in the mood, you know? I'm in the mood!"
Caesar, looking excited, waved at King. "Come on, come on!"
"..."
After wiping the sweat off his body, King snorted and put on his shirt. "You seem like you're sick. Don't blame me if you die!"
The two of them arrived at the shore, where King slowly drew his sword, standing opposite Caesar.
His gaze fell on the long sword at Caesar's waist, and King was slightly surprised.
"You know swordsmanship?"
"A little!"
Caesar's pitch-black eyes were bright, and he lightly licked his lips, a faint excitement on his face.
"Why are you acting so weird today?"
King couldn't quite understand what state Caesar was in. "Whatever, go ahead and act crazy. Come on, let me see where your confidence is coming from!"
"As you... wish!"
Caesar slightly lowered his stance, his left thumb gently resting on the Tsuba.
Suddenly, he pushed and then flicked it!
With a sharp whistle, the long sword shot out, drawing a straight line in the air as the hilt flew straight toward King's face.
"A child's dirty trick..."
King snorted coldly, about to dodge the attack, but an inexplicable chill suddenly ran through him.
In the corner of his right eye, a hand appeared out of nowhere, moving as if it were slow and deliberate, but in reality, it was so fast that he didn't even have time to move his pupils. It abruptly covered his right cheek!
His pupils contracted violently as King stared in shock at Caesar, who had suddenly appeared by his side.
In his vision, the young face seemed to be covered with countless dark vertical lines, and the massive black wings behind him blotted out the entire sky, with only a pair of crimson eyes glowing with a sinister bloodlust in the darkness.
Caesar's slender right hand grasped the flying hilt with precision, and suddenly, a sharp white light tore through the darkness, splitting the world into two parts...
Crack—
The scene in his mind shattered like glass struck by a stone. King, seeing Caesar slightly lower his stance ahead, felt his hair stand on end in an instant!
Something's wrong!
With a sudden spread of his black wings, King transformed into a streak of black light, shooting straight into the sky.
"Did you foresee it…?"
Caesar laughed heartily, showing no trace of discouragement.
With a flick of his long blade, his figure seemed to flicker, and then he appeared in the sky out of thin air.
Gripping his blade with both hands, he brought it down with the force of splitting Mount Hua!
Clang—
A Flying Slash, dozens of meters long, shot toward King.
King sidestepped it, only for another flash of blade light to erupt, sending a horizontal slash flying his way.
"Is this all you've got?"
King sheathed his blade and abruptly transformed into his Beast Form. His hands fused with his dragon wings as he unleashed two razor-sharp slashes.
The two slashes collided with Caesar's, forcefully obliterating them and continuing their momentum toward Caesar.
Caesar swung his blade horizontally, shattering them!
"It's not over yet! Blade-Lined Double Crown!"
King's wings flapped rapidly, sending countless Flame Bullets, each the size of a human head, raining down on Caesar like a dense storm.
Swish, swish, swish—
Caesar swung his blade repeatedly, the blade's edge leaving afterimages as he swiftly destroyed dozens of Flame Bullets.
Yes, just like this!
Faster, even faster!
Caesar's blade swings grew increasingly rapid, and a hint of excitement crept onto his lips. Whether it was due to the heat of battle or not, his smile seemed to carry a trace of ferocity.
Then… a massive net, composed entirely of slashes and covering the entire coastline, appeared in the sky!
The net descended like a tidal wave, each slash precisely meeting a Flame Bullet, even blocking the paths of the bullets King was about to fire next!
"This guy…"
King's eyes widened slightly, filled with astonishment.
"What's this… isn't it simple?"
Caesar's figure flashed, appearing before King even faster than the slashes!
"Foresight!"
The long blade came down, clashing fiercely with King's wings!
"What on earth is going on?"
King was sent flying backward, his gaze toward Caesar filled with confusion.
"Your speed has increased, your strength has grown, and even your fighting style has changed—more direct but also more ruthless… What exactly happened to you?"
"I've become pure!"
Caesar swung his blade and flapped his wings, gracefully landing on the crown of a coconut tree. "I originally thought that meant pure ideals or desires… but that only led to a cluttered mind."
"Until I took a long nap, woke up with a clear mind, and felt incredibly refreshed… Can you understand that feeling?"
"Not at all!"
King looked at him as if he were a lunatic.
"In short, draw the blade, and fight."
Caesar slightly raised the tip of his blade, pointing it at King from a distance. "I don't know how long this state will last, but… I hope to remember it through this battle."
"Using me as a whetstone?"
King's expression darkened slightly. "You've really become more and more arrogant, kid!"
Whoosh—
The air seemed to tear as King barely blocked a sudden slash that appeared before him, leaping back to create distance.
Caesar's speed was simply too fast, so fast that it was hard for him to react.
And when the opponent mastered Foresight,
this speed became even more troublesome!
But what was even more critical was that this kid hadn't used Conqueror's Haki Infusion even once since the battle began!
