"Bigger!"
Luffy, now tens of meters tall, used a "bone balloon" on himself again, transferring all the air to his fist. He created a gigantic fist with a diameter of hundreds of meters, large enough to almost smash the island into the sea along with the Yarkiman mangrove tree.
This is the powerful move that defeated Kaido with one punch on Ghost Island. Unfortunately, the current Luffy cannot emit or entangle. The mace in Kaido's hand swung so fast that his arm became a blur, almost invisible to the naked eye. In an instant, he swung it a dozen or twenty times simultaneously.
At the same time, Kaido's body was wrapped in concentrated lava, making Kaido's every blow carry tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature. The stick's strike sent lava flying towards Luffy's fist.
"Fire Dragon!"
Lava-like flames covered Luffy's fist, burning and melting it. Lava flowed over his fist, and with Kaido's power, Luffy's bones shattered under the heat and force. Despite the pain, Luffy's fist continued towards Kaido, and he howled in agony.
However, under Kaido's attack, Luffy's willpower couldn't withstand the high temperature. The air leaked out, the bone balloon broke instantly, gas escaped from his damaged flesh and blood, and his strength quickly faded. Until his fist returned to a size manageable for giants, Kaido took control.
Bang!
Kaido held Luffy's giant white fist firmly, preventing any advance. He lifted Luffy's enormous body with one hand, swung him through the air, and slammed him to the ground violently. The island shook with a loud bang, and Tesoro nearly slipped from the tremor.
This marked the end. Kaido's figure burst forward, skimming the ground and stopping in front of Luffy's head. His speed, beyond the sound barrier, and his immense power combined perfectly.
"Eight Trigrams!"
A purple-black afterimage slid past Luffy's head like a shooting star, leaving traces of purple lightning crackling in the air. After stopping not far away, Kaido stood with his mace held high.
In a blink, a huge air explosion resounded like thunder throughout Sabaody Island, causing a momentary shock. The rushing air swept away dust and leaves, and Tesoro and Hancock had to squint against the wind.
Luffy's body, turned completely rubber-like, shook. His limbs pointed skywards, and his neck stretched over ten meters, twisting his head at nearly a ninety-degree angle. The rod's impact dented his head, turning it into a water scoop shape, with all facial features pushed in, leaving only a wrinkled rubber skin.
His limbs fell weakly and flicked twice due to their rubber nature. White steam and milky streamers began to escape and dissipate from his body. Luffy's body started to shrink, and after a few breaths, it returned to normal size. His sunken head slowly reverted to its original form.
His face popped back, rolling his eyes and trembling his eyelids. His mouth whimpered hoarsely, the side of his face was swollen and red, and his nose bled. His cracked lips turned purple.
The whiteness lingering over his body slowly faded, his hair darkened, and his red shirt and blue shorts returned to their normal colors. He aged visibly, with his skin loosening and sagging, and his face and neck wrinkling, making him look years older.
Trample~~~
Seeing that Luffy had turned back into a small man of one and a half meters, Kaido stepped directly on his body. The unconscious Luffy couldn't do anything to resist. Only endless flames gathered in Kaido's mouth, aiming at Luffy's head.
"Boro Breath!"
Rumble!!!!!!
The super-strong pillar of fire continuously impacted the ground. The island's thick surface was directly pierced by the impact, and the pillar of fire shot into the sea through the island, causing the surrounding sea water to boil and countless bubbles to rise.
After more than ten seconds, the pillar of fire slowly tapered off and was stopped by Kaido. Beneath Kaido's feet, Luffy's body lay lifeless. From the neck up, there was only a carbon-black scar, with his head completely gone. Luffy was dead.
Kaido, satisfied, lifted his foot off Luffy, glanced at the headless corpse, and a small smile appeared on his face. He muttered, "It's over, straw hat. If he can get up again with his head gone, I'll have to wonder if I'm in the wrong world."
A faint stream of boiling air rose from the pit where Luffy's head had been, like smoke from a chimney. The sea water below would probably stay hot for a while.
Not far away, Tesoro finally relaxed a little, breathed a long sigh of relief, and muttered, "It's finally over... I didn't expect the straw hat to be so tough, with famous people constantly saving him. Fortunately, Governor Kaido is so strong it's beyond understanding; otherwise, it would really be easy to capsize..."
Then he rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about how his attack on the Celestial Dragons had been broadcast live by Morgans. "Although I didn't cause any harm... How do I go on from here?" He said to himself, "No, I have to find a way to stabilize the other Celestial Dragons. Wealth is the only value I have to Governor Kaido." He knew his strengths and did not consider his own power at all.
Hancock, not far away, was completely heartbroken after witnessing Luffy's death. She also realized she couldn't escape. The sadness and fear of the future, coupled with the pain from the secret medicine's side effects, made her heart feel like it was being twisted by a knife. The pain was unbearable.
Meanwhile, Morgans, who was making an enthusiastic speech to the video phone bug, was interrupted by Buggy, who had sneaked over. "Stop talking! The world government has already cut us off!"
"Huh? When?" Morgans frowned and asked, wondering if he had been talking to a disconnected phone bug.
"Just when the straw hat turned into a white giant! Several of my men died!" Buggy shivered in horror, holding the phone and feeling like she was getting caught up in something again.
"Ah, that form. It's okay, I already took pictures." Morgans was excited and relieved by the interruption, but fortunately, only for a short time. The more the world government tries to hide the news, the more interested he becomes. Anything that can be called news, he will send out without hesitation, letting the whole world see it!
"Don't you take pictures!!!" Buggy's eyes bulged, and she shouted at Morgans.
"Huh? I'm BIGNEWS!" Morgans countered.
The two soon quarreled. Buggy just wanted to obey the world government and didn't want any information about Luffy's form leaked. Morgans was determined to send it out. Neither of them had much fighting ability, so they kept arguing.
And on Kaido's side, after Luffy's death, the familiar and long-lost voice sounded in his ears again.
