Chapter 76: Discoveries and Sparring

Chapter 76: Discoveries and Sparring

_________ POV Narration_________

While Enel and Wyper were heading for a clearing in Upper Yard, on the other side of the Grand Line, the news of the War's events had finally reached a secluded and closed-off country...

More specifically, a gargantuan man was currently staring at the wanted poster of a 'Rookie Emperor'.

The man was standing at a whopping 7 meters tall, his upper body muscles were large and bulky.

He wore a blue-purple feathered overcoat draped on his shoulders.

The man was currently shirtless, sitting on a large and comfortable chair. He also wore a pair of baggy black pants and black boots.

A large cross-shaped scar was on the right side of his abdomen. His most eye-catching feature was his pair of horns, which made the man look even more intimidating than usual.

It was none other than Kaido, the 'King of Beasts' and the captain of the massive pirate crew, the 'Beast Pirates'.

A man worth exactly 4.6 billion Berry, and an extremely dangerous tyrant.

He hadn't taken the news of one of his strongest subordinates being killed nicely.

He had killed both the messenger and had prohibited any tombstone of Jack the Drought from ever being built.

He was a man that only valued strength above all else, his dream was to form a pirate crew strong enough to take down the world government itself.

Losing Jack was a rather large setback in Kaido's eyes. He didn't truly care about Jack as an individual though, what he cared more about was making sure that such a thing wouldn't happen again.

He couldn't afford to lose too many cadres in his crew, Jack was one of the three strongest in his crew.

So Kaido raged quite a bit when hearing about his death, even killing the poor subordinate that had to report it to him.

Kaido then proceeded to drink himself into a stupor shortly after learning that Doflamingo got taken down by the marines and his Smile Factory was destroyed.

The Beast King had swore loudly and cursed the marines, his curses reverberated throughout the castle and his outbursts affected quite a few members of his crew.

Kaido's dream was to create a pirate crew strong enough to take down the World Nobles. He believed in all-out war and felt that only the strong deserved to rule.

The destruction of the Smile Factory had managed to throw a wrench in his plans as well.

The factory was supposed to have been built with seastone, but it had been erased entirely in what was believed to be a freak storm... At least until recently.

Kaido's associates could be seen trembling, especially the henchmen that had brought him the newspaper.

Kaido's cold gaze stared at the newly titled 'Sky King' with a hateful gaze.

The Former Rear Admiral he hadn't paid any attention to, the one that Jack had been hunting before dying.

The one that had killed Doflamingo ruthlessly and destroyed the factory that was supposed to produce the artificial fruits that would help him achieve his dream...

'It was him... All along!'

Kaido's rage could barely be contained at that point, as he crumbled up the wanted poster and threw it away angrily.

"I WANT HIS HEAD!" Kaido shouted, as his subordinates trembled in fear.

"Yes, Kaido..." King and Queen both bowed to him at that point.

But not one of the Beast Pirates was actually confident in fighting Enel at this point.

King and Queen thought that maybe they'd be able to hold him back, but Enel was known to have fought against the entire Navy by himself.

Enel simply crouched down as much as he could, ducking under the kick as one of his earlobes extended upward and slapping Wyper in the face heavily, making him take a few steps back with a confused look in his eyes.

"Seriously?!!" Wyper said as he immediately jumped for his cannon with an angry look on his face.

Now, Wyper realised that Enel was holding back the entire time. It was hard not to. But he didn't take kindly to Enel using his earlobes to slap him around, So he decided to simply go for his weapon to gain an advantage.

Immediately, Wyper turned his cannon towards Enel, who was still staring at him with a smile.

First, he fired a normal cannonball at him, smiling a bit as he didn't expect it to do much damage.

Enel simply kicked towards it, unleashing a small Rankyaku and cutting it in half, the cannonball parted down the middle and both pieces flew by Enel's sides.

Wyper was forced to jump and roll to the side as the flying slash continued onwards, splitting the ground and a few trees in the process.

"Damn! The hell is that technique!" Wyper said as he aimed his canon towards Enel once more.

This time, he fired a ball of white flames toward Enel. The canon he was using was a special Burn Bazooka, that could shoot fireballs when used in tandem with a Fire Dial.

Enel didn't get to study dials all that much, and he wasn't highly interested in them, but he still knew how they worked both from Enel's memories and his own.

Enel chose not to take that attack head-on, as he'd need to use Armament to keep his clothes intact.

Instead, he used Geppo, and with two jumps, he was already well over the flames and above Wyper.

"Brace yourself!" Enel shouted as he twirled a bit in the air, doing a summersault and sending a large Rankyaku towards Wyper.

The tribal chief was shocked this time, quickly rolling to the side as the blade hit the earth.

The ground shattered, and he was sent flying further into the forest.

"The hell..." Wyper's Burn Bazooka had been blown away, had it not been for Enel's warning, he would've been split in half most likely.

Wyper sweated a bit when seeing the deep gorge that Enel's attack had left into the earth.

"What the fuck was that?!" Wyper was frustrated at that point. He hadn't realized that Enel had improved that much...

"Yeah... You really have to learn those techniques." Enel said as he landed on the ground near Wyper, a wry smile was present on his face as he tried to lessen some of Wyper's disappointment.

... Wyper stared at Enel for a bit, his frustrated gaze eventually turning to the ground. Before he cracked his neck a bit and said.

"I'll learn those fucking techniques. You better be ready for a rematch, I'll make sure to beat you handily." The tribal warrior said as he went and collected his weapon.

Enel did the same, putting his gauntlets back on and placing his staff on his back.

Bonney that had been watching the entire fight was also rather impressed. But she already knew Enel was strong, so the one that impressed her more was Wyper, by holding his own for as long as he did.

Even when holding back, Enel was still an untouchable existence to many at this point. And Bonney also thought that too.

Bonney ended up going to look at the place Enel had attacked last after the two of them left.

She sweated a bit when seeing the deep 10-meter gorge that had been created, it was also spanning well over 100 meters at the very least.

'What the hell are these top powers made out of...?'
