In Wanokuni, at the Shogun's mansion, Momonosuke completed a grand ceremony to become Wanokuni shogun.
With Kurozumi Orochi dead and Whitebeard's support, the people of the Flower Capital quickly changed their attitudes and began to welcome Momonosuke.
However, their support for Momonosuke is mostly self-serving; they want to avoid retribution and maintain their power and wealth.
Momonosuke doesn't have the power to deal with these people yet. He focuses on stabilizing his rule bit by bit, but his main concern is the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido.
For Momonosuke, Kaido is a dangerous person. As a child with no combat skills, he can't join Whitebeard on the battlefield, as everyone would be preoccupied with protecting him.
Momonosuke can only stay in the spacious Shogun Mansion, imagining Whitebeard fighting Kaido. He hopes Whitebeard can defeat Kaido soon and help fully restore Wanokuni.
"Grandpa Whitebeard... Can he defeat Kaido?"
Tama, also left in the Shogun's house by Whitebeard, and she was also deeply worried for Whitebeard at this time.
Since she had always lived in Wanokuni and had no contact with the outside world, Tama had only ever heard people talk about Kaido as a terrible monster.
Therefore, Tama didn't know if Whitebeard could defeat Kaido or if he would be in danger.
"Tama, don't worry. We should trust him," Momonosuke comforted her.
"Yes, trust him," Tama nodded.
...
But at this time, Whitebeard was unaware of the concern for him. He fiercely battled Kaido and Big Mom. Whitebeard launched numerous attacks against them during the battle, but their resilience was formidable, and he couldn't inflict decisive injury.
As for Kaido and Big Mom, despite their fierce offensive, they failed to inflict any significant damage on Whitebeard.
Kaido relied on his robust physique to withstand their assaults.
During their swordfight, Big Mom was suddenly struck down by Whitebeard's giant sword, causing her intense pain.
"It hurts! Damn it, I let my guard down," cried Big Mom in pain.
Meanwhile, Kaido swung his heavy mace directly at Whitebeard, who didn't use his vibration power to defend this time. Kaido was surprised by the attack's direct hit.
Whitebeard didn't even get hurt, and immediately raised his Naginata, swinging a sharp blade with a fierce momentum.
When Kaido's huge body was attacked by the sword light, he was knocked down directly, and he immediately stood up again, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Impossible! Are you some kind of monster? Your Devil Fruit is clearly Paramecia, yet you possess such an terrifying physique. Impossible!" Kaido exclaimed in astonishment.
"Guurarara, what do you think, Kaido? How does it compare to you?" Whitebeard chuckled with a smile.
Kaido is known as the strongest creature. He has been executed by Marine several times, but in the end he was not killed. He's even tried to take his own life countless times, but never succeeded.
But even if he is such a pervert, Kaido couldn't help but express surprise when facing Whitebeard.
Apart from himself, Whitebeard was the only person who could withstand his Thunder Eight Trigrams with his body without being knocked down
Therefore, Kaido was genuinely surprised. The Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit already possesses unimaginable power, and is called the most destructive fruit or even strongest fruit. But now, Whitebeard showed physical defense even surpassing Kaido's expectations.
Kaido couldn't help but feel shocked.
"This power... how can I defeat him?" He looked at Whitebeard, hesitant to answer his own question.
"Kaido, don't just stand there. Whitebeard will tire out eventually, and that will be the time of his death," Big Mom reminded him.
Kaido thought, yes, even if he couldn't defeat Whitebeard directly, he could outlast him. Both he and Big Mom were wearing down Whitebeard, and Whitebeard would inevitably exhaust himself more than them.
As long as Whitebeard is weakened physically, they can restrain him with seastone. Even if they can't kill him, they can at least control him.
"Whitebeard! I refuse to believe that you always have endless strength," Kaido said angrily, then quickly regained his composure and resumed his attack.
"You have spirit, but I need to use my full strength too, or this will drag on," Whitebeard responded calmly.
After that, Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki fully emerged, exerting pressure on both Kaido and Big Mom.
Whitebeard's muscles suddenly bulged, veins popping across his body as a tremendous force surged within him.
The vibrations surged through Whitebeard's body, emanating a pulsating power that made Kaido and Big Mom feel threatened as they exchanged glances.
"Whitebeard is about to use his strength," Kaido said.
"We have to resist." Big Mom also said.
The next moment, a powerful vibration erupted from Whitebeard, targeting Kaido and Big Mom directly, impacting them with tremendous force.
Kaido and Big Mom couldn't maintain their balance. They were struck by the shockwave and throw hundreds of meters away, crashing to the ground and creating wide craters upon impact.
Not only that, since they were fighting near the Inner Sea of Wano, the tremendous force also stirred the distant waters, causing waves to crash violently against the shore, creating a turbulent storm.
Kaido and Big Mom were visibly wounded by Whitebeard's attack. Their bodies bore scars, and they appeared somewhat disheveled as they struggled to get up from the ground.
However, these scars meant little to Big Mom and Kaido, only fueling their rage as they immediately launched a fiercer counterattack against Whitebeard.
"These two are really relentless. Looks like this will take a while," Whitebeard said, feeling a bit of headache.
These two are incredibly resilient. While Whitebeard is stronger overall, he can't quickly or decisively defeat them on his own.
