Leiyi naturally did not know about the discussion taking place in the Fleet Admiral's office.

At this moment, he almost got ambushed.

That old timer was truly an old timer who completely ignored martial ethics; he hadn't even stabilized himself upon reaching mid-air before he was met with a head-on blow from Kaido.

The switching between the Dragon Form and Hybrid Form was buttery smooth, and his club was swung with a howling wind.

Leiyi met the attack hastily, and facing a premeditated Kaido, he was forced into a very passive position for a moment.

Kaido's stats were already exaggerated to begin with, but this time they had reached a perverted degree.

As the version T0 Zoan, and a top-tier Mythical Zoan at that, the abilities of the Fish-Fish Fruit were unquestionable, and all his stats exploded with all-around growth once again.

Even though his talent was off the charts, his abilities were top-notch, and he had never slacked off, having trained in Kaido's boot camp for two and a half years, his age was a fatal flaw; no matter how hard he tried, his stats still struggled to keep up.

Moreover, Leiyi had his concerns: if over-exercising caused him not to grow to his ideal height, it would be terrible.

Facing a Kaido like this, even with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit holding a speed advantage, present-day Leiyi was barely holding his ground, and helplessly Leiyi could only reveal more of his cards.

His hair was no longer flowing, and at the same time, the pearlescent white patterns on his body gradually became distinct, covering him all over as if he had equipped himself with a brand new colorful custom skin.

Based on the research in the paper 《High-Precision Bioelectric Stimulation for Human Body Enhancement and Combat State Buffing》.

The direction expanded from 《The Effects of Bioelectric Stimulation on Cell Division and Regeneration》.

Originally, he wanted to use it for physical conditioning.

But with the improvement of his Devil Fruit control, as well as based on the erudition from his past life and references to the ability usages of various lightning-element characters,

over time, this state was born.

Entering this state was like having an all-around buff, with significant boosts to speed, strength, defense, and even reflex nerves.

making up for the stat boosts brought by the Zoan Fruit.

Leiyi called this the Full-Power State.

With the blessing of full power, Leiyi gradually found his rhythm, and the battle rhythm was once again slowly brought under Leiyi's control.

"Old timer, you're still as underhanded as ever. What happened to saying one can't become a supreme powerhouse this way?"

"Worororo, what are you talking about, Leiyi? To actually believe this old man—I'm a pirate, after all, and this old man is already a supreme powerhouse!"

"There's no need to be so serious about it."

Leiyi hinted.

"Cut the crap, come on, continue, brat."

Looking at Kaido's excited expression, Leiyi cursed inwardly that it was bad; this bastard Kaido had probably gotten into the mood from fighting.

A vulgar brute really had nothing but muscles in his head; he was not worth conspiring with.

However, Leiyi was not timid in the slightest. Matters of cooperation could never be completely smooth-sailing, let alone cooperating with an ambitious character like Kaido.

Since Leiyi dared to come to Onigashima, he naturally possessed the confidence to cooperate.

The two of them were deadlocked in battle once again.

However, visually speaking, Leiyi was still holding the initiative.

This was the scene that an elegant and noble mage should have when fighting; whether in speed or the application of Haki, Leiyi was superior.

And the approach of balancing abilities and Haki allowed Leiyi to bridge the stat gap and brawl fiercely with Kaido.

Only, going on like this had no meaning other than mutual consumption.

Fighting like this put Leiyi at a huge disadvantage because while it seemed like Leiyi held the initiative, his stamina consumption was also multiplied, and going full throttle like this was no small test for his state and concentration.

Moreover, Leiyi couldn't compare stamina with Kaido.

Knowing the situation clearly in his mind, as stamina and Haki were consumed while Kaido remained expressionless, Leiyi gradually changed his combat style.

The staff disintegrated into six fist-sized golden spheres, circling around himself like Truth-Seeking Balls.

Defending or attacking amidst the skirmish, coordinated with the use of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it made the battle extremely flamboyant.

"Brat, didn't I tell you? Pursuing these flashy appearances is completely meaningless."

To this, Leiyi was naturally clear as well.

However, Kaido didn't understand; being cool was a matter for a lifetime.

Furthermore, the strength of that old bastard Kaido was never solely reflected in his attacks, but rather in his perverted defense and almost inexhaustible stamina.

To truly win against him, one either had to use overwhelming-level attacks to pin him down and kill him in one set, or crush him in all aspects across various stats and slowly grind him to death.

And these two conditions were very difficult for present-day Leiyi to achieve.

Then he might as well save some strength.

Yet, Kaido didn't even bother to defend against many of his attacks, and not only did this bastard Kaido ignore them, he even grinned directly at him afterwards.

This silent mockery made Leiyi gradually forget his initial purpose.

Gradually, Leiyi's attacks became increasingly fierce; every gesture was accompanied by natural disasters, and with a wave of his hand, thunder raged. Lightning spears, lightning arrows, lightning storms, and the like were all hurled at Kaido in one go.

However, although these attacks were not charged up and Leiyi didn't expect them to achieve any obvious results, looking at Kaido's outrageous performance, his heart still grew bone-chillingly cold.

He was worried that the other party was undergoing a heavenly tribulation and would ascend to immortality in broad daylight in a moment.

Kaido's counter against him was a bit severe; was the Mythical Zoan really the answer to the current meta?

Leiyi had also dissected and analyzed why Mythical Zoans could become the answer to the meta.

The most primary reason among them was that Logia's Elementalization attacks and Haki were difficult to use simultaneously, whereas Mythical Zoan buffs could easily and perfectly stack with Haki.

Therefore, in peak-tier matches, the performance of Logia tended to fall a bit short, always giving people the feeling of not being able to exert their full strength.

This was also the reason why Leiyi didn't pursue flashy discharging methods, but instead turned to researching inward.

Only, although the problem was solved and the results were remarkable, directly and steadily propelling him from the strength of a bogus Admiral into the Admiral-Yonko Level, the consequence was an exponential consumption of energy.

Looking at Kaido's provocative expression of enjoying himself.

Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!

Leiyi further increased the power output, the patterns on his body becoming increasingly distinct and dazzling, even faintly forming a layer of lightning armor on the surface of his body.

However, his body gradually began to feel pain mixed with numbness; this was a signal that the state approaching its peak was imposing a burden on his body.

The body's tempering was still not enough, and the hardness was still lacking a bit; he should have been harder on himself.

At this point, Leiyi, having been worked up into a fire, finally started taking things seriously against Kaido.

His attacks began to greet Kaido's weak points: eyes, back of the head, kidneys, kneecaps, or even directly hacking at your privates.

Damn it, I refuse to believe you dare to hard-defend this place as well.

Down below, watching the roaring thunder in the sky and the inhumanely wild battle, everyone silently swallowed their saliva.

Not a single person dared to substitute themselves into Kaido's shoes.

Is this the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

Truly worthy of being called the Logia known as the strongest natural disaster; this doomsday-like scene made ordinary people's entire bodies grow cold just by watching from afar, let alone fighting against it.

Without mastering Haki, it was hard to even get close.

"Is a power like this really something a human can control?"

"Brother Kyng, did I eat a poisonous mushroom? Are we not going to help Governor Kaido? If..."

Queen watched the fierce battle in the sky, losing confidence even as he spoke of helping, his fat unable to stop trembling.

Kyng just remained silent, unable to show what reaction was beneath his mask.

The Tobi Roppo also didn't know what to say.

The gap between everyone and the two of them was already huge to begin with, and they could barely serve as speed bumps.

If they still wanted to rely on Moonwalk to intervene, what difference would that make from delivering food?

At this moment, Jack dragged his injured body and walked over staggeringly.

"That bastard actually had defenses prepared early on. Brother Kyng, are you not going up to take down this bastard together with Lord Kaido? Take me along by the way."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes snapped toward Jack uniformly, and an emotion called admiration welled up spontaneously.

Why don't you be one of the Three Disasters? It's hard not to acknowledge this stubborn faith of iron head.

However, the situation on the battlefield changed in a split second; a figure plummeted straight down from the battlefield, smashing a deep crater in the center of the stage.

Meanwhile, high up in the sky, Kaido still stood tall and unshaken.

Seeing this figure, everyone in the Pirate Crew of Kaido felt an unprecedented sense of reassurance.

"As expected, no matter how strong he is, he won't be Governor Kaido's opponent."

"Marines, let's see how you run now."

Seeing Leiyi being shot down, Jack prepared to step forward to capture the opponent at the very first moment, and he had even readied his Seastone weapons in hand.

Yet before he had taken two steps, he stopped, looking at Leiyi standing up unscathed from the ruins, Jack's eyes filled with disbelief.

"Weren't you shot down? How come you don't look like you're hurt much?"

"No, it must be a front!"
