"Well~ Well~ Zeus!" Big Mom commanded, halting her ship's approach. The sheer scale of destruction unfolding ahead warned her that no one in her crew could participate safely; even her ship might be destroyed by the aftermath of the fierce battle.
"Yes, Mom!" replied a group of white clouds, each wearing a baseball cap. They swiftly lifted Big Mom and flew her toward the G-5 branch's island base.
Boom boom boom~
Arthur and Kaido were locked in a furious confrontation, acutely aware of Big Mom's imminent arrival. However, Arthur had no intention of hesitating, especially with Admiral Kizaru still in the vicinity. He couldn't afford to waste time dealing with Yan Calamity while Big Mom was on the scene.
"Huh? Linlin..." Kaido murmured, noting Big Mom's approach, his emotions swirling.
"Well~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arthur has arrived," he finished.
Wing~
Boom~
A golden beam of laser light shot toward Big Mom.
But as a top-tier powerhouse, the attack had no effect on her. She simply swept Napoleon aside, effortlessly blocking the laser.
"Oh~ This is incredible! Both of the Four Emperors have appeared here unexpectedly; it seems we're in for a fierce battle. This is going to be catastrophic," Kizaru remarked, materializing in Big Mom's path with a flash.
Bang!
In another fierce clash, Arthur and Kaido momentarily separated, facing off against each other with Big Mom now nearby.
The current standoff had Arthur positioned with Big Mom on his left, Kaido on his right, and Kizaru directly opposite him.
The fighting ceased abruptly as they assessed each other.
Kaido glanced from Arthur to Big Mom before saying, "Linlin, this is my war!"
"Huh? I came here for the angel kid. Now that I'm here, deal with the Marines," Big Mom replied nonchalantly, her tone lacking any warmth.
Kaido's expression darkened, his body brimming with tension.
"Oh~ This is troubling. Do I really have to face both of you?" Kizaru said, his demeanor serious. Such a scenario hadn't happened since the days following the Pirate King Roger's reign, when the Four Emperors cemented their power.
Unlike the previous Top War, where he faced only Whitebeard, this time he couldn't just sit back and watch; there were too many powerful foes in play.
"Is this a reunion of old friends, Big Mom? You both call yourselves the Four Emperors, yet you come to my territory to drag me into your mess?" Arthur's face twisted into a scowl.
"You two pathetic wannabes! Since I'm here, you'll leave your lives behind!"
"Huh? Is it up to you? B*****d angel kid!" Kaido's anger surged, his blue veins bulging as he gripped his massive mace tighter, shrouded once more in deep Armament Haki.
"Well~~~~ you arrogant angel kid! I'm Big Mom!"
"The Emperor's Sword Breaking Blade!"
"Oh~ I can't die here, can I? Sky Cong Yunjian!"
"Huh, Blade of the Thunder Spirit Kamui!" Arthur's blade glimmered with armor color, resonating with a fierce energy that transformed it into a true weapon, adorned with intricate patterns.
"Assuming the master is lonely, let's engage in a top-tier battle!" Arthur's voice echoed across the transformed island.
Boom~
Big Mom and Kaido charged at Arthur simultaneously.
Unfazed, Arthur readied himself, knowing Kizaru was there to intercept Big Mom.
The confrontation among the four escalated rapidly, the area erupting with explosive force as if TNT had been detonated beneath them.
"Get out of my way!" Big Mom shouted, her voice generating visible sound waves in the air.
Among the four Emperors, only Shanks was considered a 'normal' person; the others were more like freaks, with overwhelming physical power.
The world's top battle was unfolding here.
In the sky, seagulls carried phone worms, monitoring the chaos.
Meanwhile, Sengoku made another urgent call.
"Kuzan! Where are you?"
"Ah la la~ Mr. Sengoku, I'm on a deserted island in the fourth channel. What's going on?"
On the sunlit island, the sky was clear and blue. A man over three meters tall reclined on the grass, lifting his blindfolded eyes and holding a phone worm.
"You need to rush to the G-5 branch immediately. The Four Emperors—Big Mom, Kaido, Kizaru, and King Arthur—are all converging there."
"This top-tier war could drastically impact the New World and beyond. Go now and assist Kizaru and King Arthur in stopping them! We can't afford this conflict to escalate further," Sengoku's voice was grave.
Now was not the time for such powerful beings to clash.
"What?" Aokiji shot up, startled. "Mr. Sengoku, what's happening?"
Sengoku summarized the situation, and Aokiji sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Ah la la, this is really troublesome. Four monsters clashing could shake the world. The New World may never be the same."
"Exactly. We can't allow this war to escalate, so head to the G-5 branch immediately and put an end to it!" Sengoku ordered firmly.
As Aokiji accepted the order, he mounted his bicycle and sped toward the sea. Upon contact with the water, a frozen path emerged, propelling him forward.
Huh~
Though riding a bicycle, Aokiji surged ahead faster than any motorcycle racer.
Now back in the New World, where the original G-5 branch stood, the landscape was already scarred from battle.
In just ten minutes, cracks marred the ground everywhere.
Both sides had begun to tire, with Arthur clashing with Big Mom, who wielded a giant flame blade.
On the other side, Kizaru faced off against Kaido.
With Big Mom, Arthur had to be cautious, as her Homies were largely ineffective against him.
Prometheus, the sun, and Zeus, the thundercloud, posed little threat; Prometheus's heat couldn't harm Arthur, and Zeus couldn't endure Arthur's lightning for long.
"Elbaph's Spear Weiguo!" With her Homies ineffective, Big Mom redirected her focus to Napoleon.
"Three hundred million volts, chaotic force field, reflection!"
In Arthur's hand, the Blade of the Thunder Spirit crackled with gravitational and repulsive energy, surprising Big Mom, who possesses immense and unique power.
"Huh? Angel Kid, how can your power be so strong?" Big Mom thought to herself. Despite being only a quarter of her height, he clearly deserved to be one of the top fighters in the world at such a young age. His physical strength alone was enough to make her take him seriously.
During the chaos of battle, the four fighters switched opponents frequently. At times, both Big Mom and Kaido attacked Arthur simultaneously, allowing them brief moments to clash.
Kizaru seemed to be having the toughest time. "Oh~ What a mess! How can each of them have such exaggerated Conqueror's Haki?"
There were four combatants present, three of whom wielded top-tier Conqueror's Haki, all capable of massive physical destruction.
Arthur, whose abilities were growing stronger, had developed a more potent physical destructive power through his Conqueror's Haki, surpassing even Big Mom and Kaido.
Even someone as powerful as Kizaru felt uneasy in the presence of their overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, which suppressed his own combat power.
'I can't believe there are so many with Conqueror's Haki that even I am affected!' Kizaru thought, shocked by this unprecedented situation.
The battle shattered the island, causing the sea to churn violently due to the tremors from their fight.
As the three Conqueror's Haki clashed, they tore apart the clouds above, leaving only a clear blue sky.
Zizi~ Whoosh~
A few hours later, Arthur repelled Kaido once more, disappearing and reappearing a few kilometers away from the island.
Kizaru was taken aback and thought about running away.
In the sky, Arthur opened a cloth bag that floated nearby and took out several weather orbs, which seemed to contain something special.
After acquiring the weather orbs, Arthur transformed into lightning and vanished again, reappearing above the island.
Bang bang bang bang~
Five weather orbs exploded, creating five small thunderclouds that rapidly expanded.
Click~
In the previously clear sky, a massive thundercloud covered almost half the island, filled with flashing lightning.
"Oh~ Isn't that a weather orb? He actually got his hands on those! Speaking of which, his floating islands seem to rest on bubbles," Kizaru realized upon witnessing the scene.
Big Mom and Kaido, having stopped when Arthur suddenly left the battlefield, looked up at the sky. Initially, they thought Arthur was attempting to escape, and both began to prepare to pursue him.
"Hmph, you're in for a surprise!" Arthur taunted as he floated beneath the thundercloud.
Not far from the G-5 base, an icy path rapidly froze the sea as Aokiji rode his bike toward the chaos at an incredible speed.
"Huh? What is that?" Aokiji noticed a long distance away that the sky above the G-5 base was covered with thunderclouds flashing with lightning. "Is that King Arthur?"
Zi Zi Zi Zi ~
"400 million volts: Kirin!"
Harnessing the four to five billion volts of lightning within the clouds, Arthur conjured two massive unicorns.
Roar~
The two enormous unicorns roared within the clouds, their massive forms becoming visible.
"Compression!" Each unicorn represented 400 million volts. Under Arthur's control, the colossal thunder beasts, initially several hundred meters long, began to shrink.
As they compressed, the unicorns became more realistic, their glow intensifying as their temperature approached that of a supernova.
Once reduced to three meters, the blue-violet lightning unicorns erupted into flames.
Thunder and lightning combined with fire formed a unique attack: thunder flame!
"Feel my technique! Blazing Lightning Kylin!"
With a powerful shout, Arthur directed the two unicorns down from the sky towards Kaido and Big Mom.
Seeing this, Kizaru's expression changed, and he transformed into a beam of light, vanishing from the island and reappearing in the air.
Big Mom and Kaido also reacted swiftly. They knew that such an attack could harm even them.
Huh~
Both wrapped themselves in Armament Haki, with Kaido using his dragon form to enhance his defense.
'What a strange power!' Big Mom thought, covering herself in Haki and preparing her strongest attacks to meet the Blazing Lightning Kylin.
Kaido did the same, his mace enveloped in Armament Haki, ready to clash with the powerful attack.
Hum~
Sneer~
Booming~
A thunderous roar erupted as the overwhelming heat caused the air to expand, creating a deafening sound, and generating a violent wave of scorching wind.
The fragmented island began to melt, transforming into hot magma that bubbled into the sea, producing intense vapor.
Big Mom and Kaido stood awkwardly in the magma, gasping for breath. The previous attack had inflicted significant damage on both of them. Even they couldn't withstand the force of over 200 million volts without getting hurt.
However, controlling two compressed 400 million-volt Thunder Flame Kylins was already the limit of Arthur's power.
"Ice Age!"
Wing~
Click, click~
The island, once a pool of bubbling magma, and the surrounding sea instantly froze over.
Big Mom and Kaido's expressions shifted once again as they wrapped themselves in Haki once more.
This wasn't due to fear of the Ice Age attack hurting them, but because they had just endured Arthur's extreme heat followed by an intense cold blast.
This drastic temperature change forced both to take precautions.
Aokiji appeared on the island, having left his bicycle behind.
'Hmph~' Big Mom and Kaido released their Haki and stood on the icy glacier, panting heavily.
First, they were hit with scorching temperatures reaching tens of thousands of degrees, and then plunged into sub-zero temperatures.
While Arthur's Blazing Lightning Kylin could injure them, Aokiji's ranged attacks could not. However, experiencing both attacks back-to-back had taken a toll on their bodies.
Kaido recovered quickly, while Big Mom took longer.
"Ahh~ This is really troublesome. So many formidable individuals are gathering here. Are they trying to change the balance of the New World?"
Aokiji emitted cold air lazily, but his eyes were serious.
"Oh~ Kuzan, have you been sent by Mr. Sengoku as well?"
Huh~
Kizaru transformed into a beam of light and appeared beside Aokiji, condensing back into his form.
