Chapter 144: Human-Beast Form
**Bang bang bang bang!**
Kahn and Kaido collided violently again.
This time, though, they didn't use an extradimensional attack like Conqueror's infusion.
Conqueror's infusion is certainly a power of another dimension. If one party has this power and the other party does not, then the one who has it will have an absolute advantage.
But if both sides possess this power, it needs to be used with caution.
Because the capacity of Haki is limited.
The stronger the Haki used, the greater the consumption.
This is why the battle between Aokiji and Akainu lasted ten days and nights, the battle between Whitebeard and Roger lasted three days and three nights, but the battle between Luffy and Kaido ended in just a few hours.
In the battle of Logia ability users, Haki is basically useless. Unless it can cover the opponent's whole body, it is easy to be avoided by elementalization in advance.
Therefore, in battles between Logia users, whichever side's stamina is exhausted will fall to a disadvantage or be defeated.
The battle between Whitebeard and Roger was just an ordinary exchange, not serious.
After the Conqueror's infusion made its appearance, it was basically a contest of swordsmanship, physical prowess, and Haki, with rare uses of Devil Fruit abilities and advanced Haki techniques.
Only the life-and-death battle between Kaido and Luffy involved the constant use of Observation Haki to predict the future, internal destruction, Conqueror's infusion, and Devil Fruit's abilities.
This is why the former fights could last a long time, while the latter was decided quickly.
But now, the battle between Kahn and Kaido lies between a duel and a life-and-death struggle.
The duel back then was just a test of strength between two dragons.
Kahn understands the strength of Kaido's Azure Dragon form but not his beast form.
Similarly, Kaido only knows Kahn's dragon form, not his regular form.
This strength refers to their fighting styles.
So, both Kahn and Kaido are now familiarizing themselves with each other's styles, using advanced Observation Haki to find each other's openings before unleashing Conqueror's infusion to deal massive damage.
Kaido uses future sight, while Kahn reads people's hearts.
As a result, fists and maces kept colliding.
Sometimes, the strong wind generated by their power roared out, and sometimes, the Haki fluctuations from their Armament Haki clashes turned into large or small whirlwinds, tearing the air and ground.
One after another, like tornadoes, the vigour whirled and roared continuously, bursting and sweeping in all directions.
**Boom...**
As the intensity increased, Haki fluctuations grew stronger, and the entire Onigashima began to shake.
"It's a terrifying atmosphere. What happened on Onigashima?"
Even on the neighbouring island of Wano, those experts who have mastered advanced Emission Haki sensed the battle's direction, feeling two scorching auras like the sun constantly colliding.
In front of these two auras, they were like the light of fireflies.
Just as these powerhouses rushed to the coast, sensing the decisive battle on Onigashima from a distance, they were unaware that a group of outsiders had arrived in the Flower Capital and started an attack on Kurozumi Orochi.
The first to arrive was Hancock, not Robin and her group, who were divided into two teams and handling the battlefield on Wane's side.
This shows just how fast Hancock is.
She tossed King to Mary, who had the Kuja Warriors handcuff him with Seastone, and Mary secured him in the castle's cell.
Eager to return and assist her sisters and Master, Hancock transforms into purple lightning and vanishes again, heading to confront Orochi.
Once a powerhouse enters the fray, the situation on Wano's side is bound to be as overwhelming as it is on Onigashima.
"You think you're better than me?"
In the war between the Haunted Mansion and Wano, Kahn and Kaido, who had already immersed themselves in this top-tier battle, paid no attention to anything else.
No matter the advantages or disadvantages, the war's final outcome would be decided by these two.
But as they fought, the surrounding air rippled continuously, with faint dark red lightning crackling around. Kaido, still feeling the lingering effects of their other-dimensional powers, suddenly asked Kahn in a deep voice, "Why don't you use your hybrid form?!"
As we all know, for Zoan Devil Fruits—excluding the Human-Human Fruit and its Mythical Zoan variants—there are three forms: normal, hybrid, and full-beast.
Kaido's Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, has a full-beast and a hybrid form. Kahn's Mythical Zoan, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, naturally has both forms as well.
However, ever since Kahn became famous, whether it was the World Government, Marines, or the Haunted Mansion, they had only ever seen him in his normal and full-beast forms.
It seemed that no one in the world had ever seen Kahn's hybrid form.
And for good reason…
With a look of disgust, Kahn replied, "I don't want to use it. That form is too ugly!"
Yes, that's how stubborn he is!
He refused to use it because it was too ugly.
When Kahn first transformed after eating the Mythical Zoan-Dragon Fruit, it wasn't into his full-beast form but into his hybrid form.
But after seeing it, Kahn immediately decided to seal away that form.
Just like Kaido's dragon form and hybrid form, Kahn's dragon form is brimming with Haki, full of intimidation, and is a walking natural disaster.
But the hybrid form? It was an aesthetically unpleasing monster.
Kahn, who valued his image, preferred the full-beast form, which made him a bit stronger and kept him looking cool.
Kaido was furious at this response: "Bastard! What do you think our battle is?!"
Feeling insulted, Kaido unleashed Conqueror's infusion again.
He leapt into the air, spinning the Hassaika in his hand, transforming into dark red lightning, and charged at Kahn.
In response, Kahn simply raised his hand upwards, his body covered in a layer of blue aura.
Using his telekinetic power, he quickly gathered and condensed the wind into a white light wave.
In the next moment, the light wave turned dark red as if it were dyed, with dark red lightning surging inside.
**Boom!**
Like a Kamehameha from Dragon Ball, a dark red beam shot out from Kahn's hand, colliding with the falling dark red lightning.
With a deafening explosion, a dark red mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
The terrifying shockwave ravaged the earth again, sweeping in all directions.
The air, earth, and sky were once again torn apart by the power of Conqueror's Haki...
