"Weiguo" vs. "Bahai"!

Not only did the two moves have different names, but their methods of exerting force and attack angles also differed. Yet, both Weiwei and Yamato sensed an inexplicable harmony in the contrast between their techniques.

Without hesitation, the two moves collided.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion erupted. The shockwave burst from the impact point, pushing smoke and dust to converge into a towering pillar that pierced the sky and shattered the earth. The ground cracked, the fissures spreading rapidly until even all of Ghost Island shook violently for five or six seconds!

The force and destruction caused by the collision of "Mighty Kingdom" and "Bahai" surpassed their previous clash of "Chopping" versus "Ming Di" by more than tenfold.

Ace, caught completely off guard, was blasted backward, tumbling twice in midair before regaining his footing.

Weiwei, who bore the brunt of the attack first, spat blood as she flew more than ten meters away.

On the opposite side, Yamato staggered back repeatedly. Gritting her teeth, she stabbed her mace into the ground to steady herself, but the impact was far stronger than expected. The weapon carved a ditch nearly seven to eight meters long as she tried to hold her ground. In the end, she slammed hard into the mountain behind her, leaving a half-meter-deep human-shaped imprint carved into the stone.

Though shaken, Yamato didn't fall. Her right hand trembled from gripping the mace, but her physical strength was clearly superior to Weiwei's, who had been thrown away.

The clash of "Weiguo" and "Bahai" hadn't decided the victor—their mastery of technique did.

"I've been beaten by Kaido for years. A little shock like this can't knock me down!" Yamato shouted fiercely.

Weiwei spat another mouthful of blood from afar.

Though not a fatal wound, the constant bleeding severely weakened her.

She now unleashed her hidden trump card.

"Isis, hurry! Give me a mouthful of milk!"

"Okay, sister." A gentle voice replied. In the next moment, pure blood gushed from a seal, transforming into pure life energy. It nourished and repaired her internal and external injuries. Her shaken organs healed one by one; cracked skin closed quickly. Within three seconds, she stood up once more.

She had reverted to her elegant vampire queen form.

Weiwei covered her mouth lightly, chuckling: "Hehe
 Big Wolf Dog, you're stronger than I thought. You really take a beating well, powerful indeed. But
 just now, I only used less than ten percent of my power!"

She was stubborn to the end—a dead duck with a tough mouth never admits defeat.

Yamato, who had never left Ghost Island since childhood, had an upright personality.

Surprised at first, her face quickly lit up with excitement. "Really? You're that strong? Then, let's keep fighting!"

Weiwei ('???`)

Keep going? She had played all her cards already and was barely holding on, but if she had any insight, she'd know she didn't want to continue.

Ace watched the exchange, smiling at Weiwei's words.

"Looks like you had fun. Let me give it a try."

After trying, Weiwei deeply realized Yamato's true strength—she was unbeatable.

Yamato claimed to be beaten by Kaido daily. Outsiders might doubt it, but this resilience was inhuman. Weiwei had used all the pure blood Isis stored to recover and now stood firm, her strength restored to about thirty to forty percent through sheer effort.

Weiwei believed willpower was only part of it. Yamato's toughness must also come from her Devil Fruit. Her animal form was probably a powerful creature with strong resilience—most phantom beasts fit this description—but she couldn't think of any wolfdog with such endurance.

She stepped aside to rest. Without Kalu the duck pouring water on her and rubbing her shoulders, Weiwei felt awkward. She pulled out a phone bug and checked it—completely dazed by the overwhelming energy, it was uncertain when it would recover.

Meanwhile, the battle between Ace and Yamato was of a different style. Flames soared skyward in various shapes before they crashed headlong into each other. Yamato's response was simple but brutal—one strike taking down ten attacks!

Weiwei had seen many powerful fighters; this guy probably lacked giant blood, yet his strength was immense! The strange horns on his head looked less like decorations and more like weapons.

Among the three present, Yamato was the oldest, appearing at least twenty years old. Ace was about seventeen, and Weiwei had just turned fourteen.

At Zefa's age, the difference wasn't obvious, but between these three, each year counted: strength, speed, and endurance varied greatly.

Weiwei didn't feel discouraged. Though six or seven years younger, her physical fitness had skyrocketed by that age. Plus, her sparring trainer was the Fourth Emperor himself, honing her skills daily.

Yamato's strength hadn't fully recovered yet, making a full fight with Ace difficult.

Previously able to wield "Thundering Four Trigrams," Yamato's swings were now slower and weaker; the blue lightning crackled at less than half its former intensity. "Bahai" had drained too much energy in their clash. Stamina might recover, but her overwhelming aura would not so quickly.

Unaware of their whispered exchange, Ace suddenly raised his voice:

"We don't get to choose our father. Even if your hands are bound, even if you hate him, why should you bind your own heart so completely?"

Yamato was silent.

The battle ended when the oversized "Yang Yan" was defeated by "Thundering Bagua."

Ace collapsed, unable to stand. Yamato sat on the ground, gasping for breath, utterly spent.

Their physical and mental energy drained, both had nothing left.

After hearing their entire conversation, Weiwei carefully examined Yamato's handcuffs. She studied them for a while but couldn't confirm her suspicion.

"So
 you've been wearing Hailoushi handcuffs this whole time and I fought you??"

She had initially thought Yamato carried some sort of power-limiting props but never expected it to be Hailoushi handcuffs!
