"Tatsumaki!"
Kaido stretches out his arm and his scales grind against each other. Each segment of the dragons steel like hide serves as a blade and each one sends out a slicing cut through the air. Luckily your wings can perform the same function and with a swipe you send out a few larger cuts which manages to counter his offensive. He jumps over your attacks and showers you with a barrage from his kanobo.
"Gundari Ryuseigun!"
Only by wildly flailing with all four of your upper limbs do you manage to match his attack. But the result of that is that he's locked above you, perpetually pressing down with a shower of blows and you having to hold him up. It's not easy, not by any means. Despite his prodigious size he's swift and his supreme mastery over observation means not even your enhanced senses offer an edge over him. But there is one thing that you do possess that he doesn't. Size, namely the lack of it. It's a bold move to perform in this situation, against such an opponent. But it's the only one you can think of.
After one last parry with your sword you let go of it, turn off your awakening and turn into a tiny bat. Kaidos eyes open wide as you snatch Argent out of the air and carry the weapon up to him. As the edge of the blade slides against and through his scales you wince, since without the awakening it's roughly the same as hitting someone with a toothpick. But it's better than nothing. You fly past the emperor and he screams as a tiny amount of blood spurts out of him. Quickly as he falls to his knees you reactivate your awakening and stare him down.
Kaido seems taken aback by the fact that he got hurt. Supporting himself with his kanobo he takes his free hand and holds it over the wound. After removing his hand he looks at his blood stained palm and chuckles.
"Good. Very good. It's been so long since I've felt anything. I'd almost forgott-"
But you don't let him monologue. Instead you jump him, grab him by the horns and headbutt him as hard as you can. The impact widens the arena even further. As Kaido stumbles backwards he snaps at you.
"HEY! LITTLE SHIT! I'M TRYING TO ENJOY THE MOMENT!"
"Enjoy the moment? Sounds like you're just aching to die!"
You snap back at him as you now go on the offense and start chasing and showering Kaido with blow after blow.
"Of course! Haven't you learned anything?! Just as how the ending of a story is paramount how one caps their legend determines the value of their lives! Roger! Newgate! Both idealistic fools! One defeated by an illness, the other succumbed to old age! Yet because they managed to close their lives in spectacular manners they managed to write HISTORY! Whilst mightier men have been buried by the world because they didn't go out with a BANG!"
