The Vampire Fruit is quite different from other Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits.
Its biggest disadvantage is that, for the body, it doesn't provide significant boosts to any attributes other than speed and recovery.
Most Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits offer tremendous enhancements in endurance, strength, speed, recovery, and various other aspects.
Secondly, the Vampire Fruit doesn't have a true beast form.
Transforming into a bat is more like a skill rather than a transformation ability inherent to the Fruit itself.
If one only looks at the Vampire Fruit before its awakening, it might seem no stronger than other Mythical Zoan abilities, and even have certain disadvantages.
However, after awakening, the Vampire Fruit's functionality becomes increasingly diverse.
Besides the most basic blood and sound wave-related abilities, Blake discovered many other fundamental capabilities of this Devil Fruit.
For example, in nighttime, shadowy, or lightless environments, basic attributes like stamina, strength, and recovery will be elevated to the level of other Mythical Zoans.
Furthermore, under a full moon, it can unleash even greater power.
This amplification is not only manifested in the body but also in other skills associated with the Fruit's abilities.
Another example is the ability to partially or completely liquefy the body into blood, thereby immunity to most physical attacks, forming a pseudo-Logia effect.
Coupled with the further development of blood-related abilities, such as the previously used blood clone, and spatial movement through blood... the Vampire Fruit can be said to be the most complex Devil Fruit in Blake's possession right now.
Returning to the System Space, Blake looked at the two remaining character cards above.
After a moment of thought, he tentatively asked:
"Can I challenge them together?"
Originally, Blake didn't hold much hope, as his system was clearly a dead program.
Who would have thought, both cards fell at the same time.
Good, good, good! So you wouldn't tell me unless I asked, huh?
Blake silently cursed the "idiot system" in his heart and activated both cards simultaneously.
Boom!
Blake was smarter this time; as soon as he entered the card space, before he could even clearly see his surroundings, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
To avoid encountering an unchivalrous guy like Akainu just now.
At the same time, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, across from Blake, also erupted with Conqueror's Haki.
However, Blake's Conqueror's Haki was no longer what it used to be, and he easily suppressed the Conqueror's Haki of the two.
"Hmm, it does feel a bit like Imu."
Blake compared them in his mind, then focused his attention on the battle before him.
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"
"Ikoku!"
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, at a disadvantage in the Conqueror's Haki clash, launched their attacks first.
Blake threw both fists, his dark red Haki colliding head-on with the attacks of the two Four Emperors.
Boom!
The shockwave leveled the ground.
The moment the energy exploded, Blake suddenly pulled back his left fist sharply.
The spiked club, which had lost power due to the stalemate, re-accelerated and struck his shoulder.
Blake didn't even blink; his left fist pierced through the storm and accurately slammed into Kaido's dragon-scaled chest, emitting a heavy thud.
Kaido's body flew backward, and Blake's dual wings behind him flapped fiercely, instantly bringing him back in front of Kaido.
Blake's body had undergone multiple repeated enhancements; attacks of this level were no longer a concern for him.
One could say that he and Imu had taken completely opposite paths.
Imu, relying on unparalleled recovery ability, couldn't directly tank damage, but others also couldn't inflict effective attacks on him.
Blake, on the other hand, based on Iron Balloon and a body repeatedly tempered by Armament Haki, directly prevented the opponent's attacks from breaking through his own defense.
Of course, whether it was Imu or Blake, whether it was recovery ability or defensive ability, there was bound to be an upper limit.
It's just that Blake's current upper limit was already very high, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with anyone.
Anyone who has fought as a child knows what to do when facing a siege?
Grab one and beat him to death, establish dominance first.
Almost simultaneously with Blake's appearance, Kaido raised his spiked club and launched a counterattack.
"Descent of the Three Worlds: Ragnarok!"
On the other side, Charlotte Linlin's Emperor Sword also came slashing with a whistling sound.
Bang!
Blake's and Kaido's Haki clashed intensely, emitting an ear-piercing tearing sound.
Facing the attack from behind, Blake ignored it, merely condensing Armament Haki crystals on his wings.
His fleshy wings folded, and Charlotte Linlin's slash landed on his wings, erupting in dazzling sparks!
Meanwhile, Blake's other hand was as fast as lightning, his fist creating a sonic boom, moving too quickly to be almost caught.
Under the dual enhancement of red mist and Observation Haki, a punch entwined with three colors of light landed heavily, hitting the same spot on Kaido's chest again!
"Ugh ah!"
Kaido violently spat out a mouthful of scorching hot blood.
Facing Blake's attack, which combined Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Demonic Aura, even Kaido's defense couldn't withstand it.
Blood burst open in the air, merging into the surrounding blood mist, then transforming into wisps of vital energy, slowly integrating into Blake's body.
But this blow made Kaido retreat again, with Charlotte Linlin blocking in front of him.
While Blake was attacking, she swung her sword down again.
Rumbling sounds were incessant, and Blake's legs carved two furrows into the island beneath him.
"Hakai!"
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't hesitate; they seized the moment Blake retreated to unleash their combined technique, surging forward with power that annihilated everything.
Blake took a deep breath, the veins on his arms bulging, blood gushing, with various colors of lightning intertwining and flashing on it.
"Blood Meteor: City Breaker!"
What he threw was no longer a simple fist, but a blood-colored meteor condensed with all his strength, directly colliding with that destructive torrent!
Rumble rumble... At the center of the energy collision, space presented unstable ripples.
Blake's figure surged upstream through the torrent of Hakai; the immense energy generated by the combined attack was forcefully shattered and disintegrated before him!
Charlotte Linlin and Kaido both retreated simultaneously.
Blake seized this fleeting opportunity.
He pushed his speed and strength to the limit, completely ignoring Charlotte Linlin's harassment, and unleashed all his attacks on Kaido.
His attacks were simple to the extreme—a continuous barrage of heavy punches!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Heavy thudding sounds were incessant.
Blake completely abandoned defense—or rather, his invincible defense meant he didn't need to defend.
He allowed Charlotte Linlin's Emperor Sword to slash at him, only constantly adjusting the angle of his wings to block, yet it failed to leave any mark.
Kaido's counterattack also failed to be effective.
Blake's arms blurred, his continuous fists raining down on Kaido's body, unleashing countless attacks in an instant.
In the face of this reckless fighting style, Kaido's figure gradually turned into azure particles, slowly dissipating.
