Swish!
Boom...!
Facing the torrent of cyan wind blades slicing through the sky like a weasel's claws and the tornadoes rumbling with debris and seawater, Bai Ye moved.
His eyes locked onto Kaido, who was wreaking havoc beneath the dark clouds that split the heavens.
Step forward!
Boom!
Bai Ye's foot stomped into the air, creating visible ripples. In that instant, a vast amount of seawater evaporated, exposing the dry seabed, while the ground shattered into a massive crater. The destruction spread in layers, each more catastrophic than the last.
Boom...!
A moment later, Bai Ye's figure appeared in mid-air, wreathed in scorching flames.
"What?!"
Kaido, observing the scene, felt a jolt of shock. His pupils dilated.
Before he could react, blazing flames soared high, consuming the entire expanse where the cyan wind blades and tornadoes surged.
Neither the countless wind blades, sharp as scythes, nor the debris-laden tornadoes could withstand the suffocating heat. All were obliterated in an instant.
In the midst of this devastation, Bai Ye emerged like a blazing comet streaking through the dark skies.
Kaido's ferocious dragon head froze, his eyes wide in disbelief. He could feel the waves of unbearable heat rushing toward him.
In a desperate roar, Kaido shouted, "Tornado Breath! Take this!"
Opening his massive maw, Kaido unleashed a tempest of energy. The dark clouds above crackled with blue-white lightning that descended violently, aimed directly at the approaching Bai Ye.
Not stopping there, Kaido spun his enormous dragon body like a top, unleashing a torrent of destructive wind blades designed to cut through everything in their path.
Yet, Kaido saw it with his own eyes.
The lightning struck Bai Ye, but it didn't even slow him down. Surrounded by the scorching heat of his flames, Bai Ye seemed immune to the devastating strikes.
Instead, he advanced—closer, stronger, and unstoppable.
Kaido's "Tornado Breath", which had never failed to devastate his enemies, was nothing but fuel for Bai Ye's advance.
As Bai Ye shattered the wind blades with ease, Kaido's heart skipped a beat. He panicked.
"What... What is this guy's physical strength?!" Kaido thought, beads of sweat forming on his scaled brow. "Doesn't he tire?!"
Roar!!!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Kaido let out a deafening roar. His dragon form swelled with raw power, his momentum building to its peak.
Determined to stop Bai Ye, Kaido lunged forward, his massive body clashing head-on with the fiery force of his opponent.
Boom!!!
The collision was cataclysmic. A thunderous roar echoed across the battlefield, shaking the very fabric of the sky. Dark clouds were torn apart, and the sea below churned into towering waves that crashed upon distant shores.
The sheer force of their clash caused an unrelenting shockwave. Entire sections of the ocean boiled into white steam, and islands trembled under the weight of the destruction.
On the Sabaody Archipelago:
On the Sabaody Archipelago, the ground trembled as if the world itself was ending.
"Is the world being destroyed?!" cried a frantic civilian, clutching onto a mangrove tree for dear life.
"What's happening out there?! What kind of monsters are fighting?!"
The terrified cries of the people filled the air. Even seasoned pirates, used to the harshness of the Grand Line, were overcome with dread.
The sea surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago steamed violently, as if the entire ocean was being boiled. The horizon itself seemed to lower visibly, a testament to the absurd heat emanating from the distant battle.
Meanwhile, tremors from the fight rocked the islands, causing panic among residents and pirates alike. The ground beneath their feet shook so violently that even the sturdy Yarchman mangrove roots struggled to hold steady.
In the distance, the horizon appeared to be split in two. One side was dominated by blinding flames, while the other was shrouded in thunderous clouds.
The Supernovas' Perspective:
Eustass Kid, leaning against a mangrove, gritted his teeth in frustration. "Damn it... Who could cause this much destruction?!"
He turned to his crewmates, his voice filled with disbelief. "Is this really Kaido's power?!"
A fellow pirate muttered in despair, "If Kaido's one of the Four Emperors, then who's his opponent?!"
From a distance, 'Ascetic Monk' Urouge clasped his hands together and sighed. "If this is truly Kaido, then the man challenging him must be extraordinary."
The Supernovas were speechless, their ambitions shaken. To challenge the likes of the Four Emperors was a dream shared by all pirates heading to the New World. But witnessing the sheer scale of this battle, they began to question their own strength.
Kaido's Desperation:
Back on the battlefield, Kaido screamed in agony. His massive body, battered and scorched, fell from the sky like a meteor. His scales, once impervious to any blade, were cracked and burnt.
Kaido, the so-called "Strongest Creature in the World," roared in pain.
"Aaaaargh!!!"
His scream echoed across the Grand Line, sending chills down the spines of everyone who heard it.
For the first time, Kaido—the embodiment of destruction—seemed to falter. And in that moment, all who heard his cry knew one thing:
Whoever stood against Kaido wasn't merely human. They were something far more terrifying.
Boom!
Kaido's colossal form crashed into the sea, sending towering waves in all directions. As his body sank, the battlefield fell eerily silent.
In the distance, Bai Ye stood tall, wreathed in unyielding flames, his figure blazing like a god of destruction.
