"Kaido, what are you so arrogant about?"
Looking at the suddenly fanatical beast, a hint of disdain flashed in Sakazuki eyes.
"The more you act like this, the more it shows you're at your wit's end! Trying to attack our bases to relieve your pressure? When did you become so naive, Kaido?"
"Look at the Marines around you. From the start of this war until now, have you ever seen them retreat even half a step?"
"They are like this and so are the officers and soldiers of the first base and G5 base!"
"Kaido, prepare yourself!"
"Your downfall was sealed the moment Fleet Admiral Orion swung his blade and severed Hanafuda head!"
BOOM—
As Sakazuki words echoed, an overwhelming surge of scorching energy erupted from his body and his massive, magma-coated fist rose high.
"INUGAMI GUREN!"
With a cold shout, the magma fist rapidly extended and transformed into the shape of a dog head, charging toward Kaido with blazing speed and searing heat.
"It's you who should be prepared!"
Kaido neither dodged nor retreated.
Gripping his spiked club tightly, he raised it high above his head and charged forward like lightning, meeting the oncoming magma hound head-on.
BOOM—
The spiked club, infused with Conqueror's Haki, slammed down with immense force, colliding violently with the roaring magma hound.
The impact sent Kaido soaring into the air.
Amid the chaotic shockwaves, he raised his spiked club once more.
"SAKAZUKI, IT'S OVER!"
With a roar that shook the heavens, Kaido now high in the sky, descended like a monstrous beast his spiked club cleaving downward with unparalleled force.
"THREE WORLD CONQUEST: RAGNARAKU!"
"Hum—"
The rapidly descending spiked club tore through the air, followed by a deafening explosion akin to a sonic boom.
The Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the club erupted in a burst of black and red flames, shooting skyward.
The sheer force of the attack materialized into a blinding light, spreading like a storm of lightning, engulfing the entire warship.
Crack, crack—
As the blinding light consumed the ship, a series of explosive cracks echoed in succession.
Looking toward the source, the deck beneath Sakazuki, already fractured, began to split into a dense web of cracks, resembling a massive spider's web, threatening to tear the warship apart.
At the same time.
Sakazuki, standing tall and enduring Kaido strike, had a crack split open on one side of his head molten lava oozing from the fissure.
Yet, Sakazuki seemed unfazed.
As the lava dripped from his head, a cruel and bloodthirsty smirk flashed across his lips.
The next moment.
"DAI FUNKA!"
With a cold shout, Sakazuki, having withstood Kaido attack took a step forward.
He grabbed the spiked club that had struck his head with one hand, while his other magma-coated fist rapidly expanded in Kaido vision.
"BOOM—"
Another explosion rang out as the magma fist carrying scorching energy slammed into Kaido chest.
The terrifying shockwave erupted like a cannonball, forcing Kaido to spew a mist of blood uncontrollably.
His body was sent flying like a massive projectile, creating a series of sonic booms before crashing into a warship hundreds of meters away.
The sudden turn of events threw the already suppressed Beast Pirates into chaos.
Especially when they saw Kaido being sent flying by Sakazuki punch, the last glimmer of hope for many Beast Pirates was extinguished.
"The Governor... he's been sent flying!!!"
"It's over, it's over! We're doomed this time!"
Not only were some members of the Beast Pirates in despair, but even Queen, who had been struggling against the combined assault of Vice Admirals like Tokikake, lost his composure upon seeing Kaido being sent flying.
Seizing the opportunity, Tokikake landed a decisive blow, sending Queen massive body tumbling through the air, blood spewing from his mouth.
In stark contrast to the Beast Pirates' reaction, the morale of the Marine forces surged once again upon witnessing Kaido defeat.
Immediately, more than a dozen Marine officers closest to the ship where Kaido had crashed exchanged knowing glances.
Without a single word, merely a shared look, these officers decisively abandoned the pirates on their respective ships who had lost the will to fight.
They leaped into action, charging toward Kaido at full speed.
"DONT GO OVER THERE!"
On another ship, Gion who was in pursuit of King and Who's who, quickly halted and shouted.
"COME BACK! GET BACK HERE!"
Before her words could fully echo, a sharp grating noise erupted from the deck of the massive ship where Kaido had landed.
In an instant, bolts of lightning accompanied by swirling flames engulfed the entire vessel.
The next moment, the dozen or so Marine officers who had just lunged forward were struck by an invisible overwhelming force, hurling them uncontrollably into the sea like dumplings.
It all happened too suddenly.
Even Gion had no time to intervene and save those young officers, eager for glory.
Amid the lightning that enveloped the ship and the towering flames, Kaido rose like a demon god.
His spiked club, infused with Conqueror's Haki, emitted a chilling sizzling sound.
"SAKAZUKI!!!"
No sooner had Kaido stood up, his chest scorched by a molten fist, than he let out a furious roar toward the distant Marine warship.
His body leaned forward and like a human cannonball, he shot through the air with a thunderous bang.
As Kaido launched himself, the massive ship behind him under the force of the near-cataclysmic impact, split apart with a deafening crack.
By the time the ship had fully disintegrated, Kaido had already appeared above the opposing warship.
"HORAI HAKKE!"
The moment he appeared high above Sakazuki, Kaido swung his spiked club, now crackling with energy, down with devastating force.
The condensed lightning resembled a nuclear explosion.
BOOM!
In the wake of the earth-shattering blast, a mushroom cloud rapidly expanded engulfing Sakazuki and the warship beneath him in an instant.
After the deafening explosion, an eerie silence fell.
Only the rising mushroom cloud and the shockwave, silently spreading across a hundred meters, remained.
Both the Marine and the Beast Pirates were momentarily struck dumb by the blinding light.
In the brief silence that followed, an excited voice suddenly erupted from among the Beast Pirates.
"Did we just take out Sakazuki?"
"Who could survive an attack like that? Sakazuki must be completely obliterated!"
"Haha, long live the Governor!"
"Men, charge! Let's finish off the remaining Marine in one go!"
Just as the Beast Pirates, reinvigorated by their apparent reversal of fortune, roared and charged toward the Marine, a red dot suddenly shot out from the mushroom cloud at an imperceptible speed, appearing directly beneath Kaido, who was still suspended in mid-air.
"MEIGO!"
Accompanied by a roar that echoed through the sky, a circle of scorching and violent energy shockwaves instantly radiated from beneath Kaido.
A massive fist, molten like lava, struck Kaido abdomen with tremendous force.
The unparalleled shockwave pierced through Kaido protective Haki, lifting him off the ground and hurling him higher into the sky.
"GION!"
As Kaido was sent flying into the air, Sakazuki voice rang out from afar.
Understanding Sakazuki intent, Gion didn't hesitate for a moment.
She decisively stepped forward, unleashing her Conqueror's Haki without reservation which coiled around the blade of her sword, Konpira.
The moment the Conqueror's Haki enveloped Konpira, a black and red flame cloud suddenly erupted.
Stepping forward, raising her sword and wrapping it in Conqueror's Haki—all in one fluid motion.
In the next second, Konpira slashed through the air toward the ascending Kaido.
Whoosh—
A dazzling blade light, as if divine punishment shot upward against the sky instantly flashing past Kaido and disappearing into the sky.
The moment the blade light vanished into the sky, a spray of blood immediately erupted from Kaido body, scattering into the air.
[Man Gion kinda op here, awakening conqueror mid battle and can already infused it into her weapon]
