"Combination Technique... Ocean Sovereignty!"
The Shadow Clone Technique was undoubtedly the most useful ninjutsu Kaido had obtained from the ninja village he had occupied.
Because this common ability had given Kaido an incredible idea.
That was, one person could use the combination technique "Ocean Sovereignty," which originally required him to join forces with Charlotte Linlin.
As it turned out, Kaido's idea was very bold, and it was indeed successful.
Although the shadow clone was not as good as the pirate emperor Charlotte Linlin, as a one-time consumable, it had allowed Kaido to successfully use a weakened version of the combination technique "Ocean Sovereignty."
Therefore...
Kaido had also obtained an ultimate move as a trump card.
Originally, Kaido would not have used this move easily.
Or rather, if the enemy was not so weak that they could not withstand "Ocean Sovereignty," Kaido would absolutely not have used this killer move.
But now, Kaido, just like Madara Uchiha in the battle at the Valley of the End, had been angered by Hashirama Senju's words, which, although meant as a persuasion, were unusually infuriating, "I will not kill you."
And so...
To prove himself to this God of Shinobi, Kaido decisively used his ultimate move.
In an instant, a super shockwave surged out from the Hassaikai in Kaido's and his shadow clone's hands, and like a tsunami, it instantly submerged the Wood Golem and Hashirama Senju on its head from top to bottom.
The speed was so fast that even Hashirama Senju, who was in Sage Mode, did not have time to use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
In just an instant, the upper body of the Wood Golem, which had been submerged by the super shockwave, and Hashirama Senju, who was standing on its head, were both turned to dust in an instant.
The Wood Golem, which had been enhanced with Sage Art chakra and whose defensive power was at least several times that of its normal state, had had its upper body blown away in an instant. This showed just how terrifying the power of Kaido's combination technique with his shadow clone was.
Even someone as strong as Hashirama Senju, if he had been hit in his life, with his terrifying self-healing ability, would have been either dead or disabled.
What a pity...
At this time, although Hashirama Senju did not have the peak strength of his life, he had an immortal body that was more terrifying than his self-healing in life.
When the super shockwave transformed into a giant pillar of air from the sky and slowly dissipated.
White dust, like shredded paper, appeared out of thin air, and under Kaido's wide-eyed gaze, it slowly condensed into the shape of Hashirama Senju.
"What a powerful move. If I weren't a dead man, I might have been killed just now."
The recovered Hashirama Senju stood on the remaining half of the Wood Golem, which was also dozens of meters high, looked at Kaido below, first praised him sincerely, and then said, "But this move should be your strongest blow, right!"
"Since you are unwilling to surrender, then I can only temporarily seal you and negotiate with your leader afterwards."
After finishing, Hashirama Senju once again slapped his hands together, repaired the half of the Wood Golem that had been blown away by Kaido's combination technique "Ocean Sovereignty," and then a huge amount of Sage Art chakra once again spread over the field, which was several kilometers in radius.
The fatal pollen, like a thick fog, covered the entire sea of trees domain of the Deep Forest Emergence.
"Sage Art Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
"Roar roar roar..."
As Hashirama Senju's shout fell, giant wood dragons suddenly rose from the sea of trees of the Deep Forest Emergence, letting out dragon's roars, and bound towards Kaido from all directions.
At the same time, the Wood Golem also raised its foot and stomped down on Kaido.
Facing the attack of the Wood Golem and the group of dragons, and the fatal environmental killer move, the pollen, Kaido quickly repeated the scene of being beaten up by Hashirama Senju before.
Just as between a super Kage and a super Kage, even if there was only a small level difference, it would be like Madara Uchiha instantly defeating Sasuke Uchiha.
Kaido, whose strength had a considerable gap with Hashirama Senju's, and whose overall strength, except for taijutsu, was crushed by Hashirama Senju, and who had to use Armament Haki to defend his whole body at all times, could not truly not inhale a single mouthful of pollen.
Because besides resisting the pollen, he needed to divide his attention to deal with the attacks of the Wood Golem and the group of dragons.
Just a moment of carelessness while dodging, and Kaido felt his physical strength being mercilessly stripped away. His body, which could normally fight for ten days and ten nights without feeling much fatigue, was hit by a wave of powerlessness that spread throughout his body.
His flexible body became incomparably sluggish.
And so...
Kaido's seven-meter-one height quickly became a slow-moving target and was once again entangled by the giant wood dragons roaring from all directions, and was quickly bound into a rice dumpling.
"Sealing Jutsu: Four Limbs Heavy Seal!"
"Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates—"
Before Kaido could break free from the wood dragons' restraint, Hashirama Senju, through the giant wood dragons, used a sealing jutsu on him that sealed his body's abilities.
After taking control of Kaido's body, Hashirama Senju immediately leaped down from the head of the Wood Golem and then used a powerful mental sealing jutsu on Kaido, which could instantly hypnotize even the complete Nine-Tails into a deep sleep.
Under the enhancement of Sage Art chakra, the power of the double seal used by Hashirama Senju had soared several times.
Even Blackbeard had been easily sealed by Kushina Uzumaki's sealing jutsu.
Kaido was naturally no exception!
As Kaido, who had been bound into a rice dumpling by the wood dragons, closed his eyes with an unwilling expression.
The Beasts Pirates also declared a complete defeat.
It was just that they had not been defeated by Kumogakure, whose overall strength was second only to Konoha's, but by a man who, decades ago, was recognized as the World's Strongest Man in the ninja world—the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
Just one person, with just a few moves.
Hashirama Senju had annihilated one of the five emperor forces from another world, and had even accidentally injured his allies, single-handedly controlling the battlefield.
The speed at which he had provided support and ended the battle was even more unbelievably fast.
Because...
Now, the support troops from Kumogakure had not yet arrived at the border fortress.
From this, it could be seen to what extent Hashirama Senju's strength was.
The defeat of the Beasts Pirates, this news would surely boost the morale of the Shinobi Alliance, and would also make the remaining Red Hair Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, who had occupied Kirigakure, feel grave, vigilant, and even uneasy.
Because including Kaido, two of the five emperor's pirate crews had fallen.
This meant... that either these natives were extremely strong, or these natives had found a way to deal with these otherworldly guests!
No matter which, it was not good news for them.
However, this did not include Karl, who had begun to act.
