One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

Akainu slowly retracted the arm that had transformed into black lava. The crimson steam and deep red flames on his body gradually dissipated, revealing his body, which was covered with hideous cracks but still stood tall and straight like a mountain.

Dodoria is dead.

Not even a speck of dust remained.

In the sky, Sabo, Ginyu, and the others looked extremely grim. They stared at the man, covered in wounds yet still radiating an aura of steely power, their shock beyond measure.

"Next."

Lynn's emotionless voice rang out once again, like a detached card player slowly turning over the next card that would decide life or death.

Sabo's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and a hint of apprehension appeared on his usually elegant and handsome face.

However, before he could speak, a bold laugh filled with boundless domineering power resounded throughout the entire world!

"Guralalalalalalala!"

White beard!

Holding a massive Murakumogiri sword, he walked out of the crowd step by step.

With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet would tremble and crack violently!

Through rigorous training in the Mental Time Chamber, one's body and strength are pushed to unprecedented heights, surpassing all previous peaks!

An overwhelming and terrifying aura, as if ruling the world, surged into the sky from his massive yet vibrant body!

"Let this old man have a go at you, you sissy-looking brat!"

The white-bearded man's gaze was fixed on Sabo, his clear yet domineering eyes burning with an unprecedentedly intense fighting spirit!

Sabo's face instantly turned ashen.

Women?!

That damned old man, how dare he insult him like that?!

"Oh ho ho ho ho... a muscular, barbaric old man."

Sabo forcibly suppressed his anger and resumed his signature effeminate laughter.

He elegantly twirled his long green hair with his fingers, looking down at the white-bearded man with a superior and condescending gaze.

"It seems your backward planet is truly out of people, that you have to send an old relic like you, who only has brute strength, to your death."

"Guralalalalalala!"

Instead of getting angry, the white-bearded man laughed, his hearty laughter making the entire space buzz.

"Little brat."

He slammed the massive Murakumo-giri (a type of sword) heavily onto the ground!

Boom!

The entire ruins of the God-Slaying Island suddenly sank downwards!

Countless bottomless cracks spread wildly in all directions from him!

"Before me," the white-bearded man's eyes, filled with a sense of age and domineering power, stared intently at Sabo, "you have no right to be arrogant!"

Before the words were even finished!

"Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Death!"

"open!"

boom!

Blood-red steam erupted from the white-bearded man's body!

The violent power generated by burning life caused his already enormous body to swell even more!

Immediately afterwards!

"Kaio-ken!"

"double!"

boom!

Crimson flames covered the blood-red steam!

Two completely different and domineering amplification powers achieved a perfect balance in his battle-hardened and powerful body!

"What... what is this again?!"

Ginyu and the others watching from the sky were once again so shocked that their eyes almost popped out!

It's that red steam again!

It was that deep red flame again!

Did all the primitive humans on this planet possess this kind of illogical transformation ability?!

Sabo's pupils also contracted sharply!

He could clearly sense that the old man's fighting power below had surged wildly at an extremely terrifying speed in that instant!

From the original nine thousand, it instantly broke through twenty thousand!

And it keeps climbing higher!

Twenty-one thousand!

Twenty-two thousand!

Twenty-three thousand!

It didn't stop until it reached 24,000!

"Combat power...24,000?!"

Sabo's elegant smile froze completely, and the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably.

Are you kidding me!

An old guy from a primitive planet actually has higher combat power than him?!

"Guralalalalala!"

Whitebeard felt the unprecedented surge of power within him and let out a hearty laugh! Looking at his enormous hands, covered in scars and calluses yet brimming with explosive power, he could feel his body reaching unprecedented heights at this moment!

"Come on, kid!"

Whitebeard snapped out of his thoughts, his battle-ready gaze once again landing on Sabo!

Instead of using Murakumogiri, he slowly raised his right fist!

On his fist, a white aura, powerful enough to shatter everything, gathered wildly!

He pushed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to its limit!

But this is not over yet!

He forcefully compressed and condensed the deep red, domineering Kaioken energy, perfectly fusing it with the white, vibrating aura!

Buzz—! !!! !

A bizarre, chaotic energy sphere, composed of pure crimson destructive energy and pure white vibrational energy, appeared on the white-bearded man's right fist! The energy sphere was small, but the space around it was silently twisting, shattering, and annihilating!

"Shaking Strike - Kaio Strike!"

The white-bearded man let out a terrifying roar that could make the heavens and earth pale in comparison!

His fist, enveloped in a ball of chaotic energy, slammed fiercely towards Sabo!

*Snap!*

The space in front of him shattered inch by inch, like a fragile mirror!

A beam of destructive power, mixed with crimson and white, tore through the atmosphere and pierced through space, arriving in front of Sabo in an instant at a speed that surpassed sight and perception!

"not good!"

Sabo's expression changed drastically! He tried to dodge, but he was horrified to find that the space around him had been completely locked down by that terrifying force of vibration! He had no way to escape!

"asshole!"

Sabo let out a scream filled with shock, anger, and resentment! He crossed his arms in front of his chest, unleashing his full combat power of 23,000 without reservation! A thick green energy shield firmly protected him inside!

Boom!

The chaotic energy beam slammed into the green energy shield! There was no stalemate! No confrontation! Only pure, absolute crushing power!

Sabo's energy shield, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a starship's main cannon, was as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of that chaotic beam of light, and was easily torn apart!

"puff--!!!!!"

Sabo coughed up a mouthful of blood! He was as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed meteorite, his body flying backward uncontrollably and crashing heavily into the ruins in the distance!

Rumble!

The earth groaned in pain once more, and a bottomless, enormous crater appeared before everyone.

One strike! Just one strike!

Sabo, Frieza's right-hand man with a fighting power of 23,000, is defeated!

"Guralalalalalala!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates cheered excitedly upon seeing this!

"Dad's awesome!"

However, Whitebeard, Kaido, Akainu, and other top-tier fighters all frowned. They stared intently at the bottomless pit.

"It's not over yet." Akainu's cold voice slowly rang out.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, an aura that was even more evil, colder, and more powerful than before suddenly erupted from the pit!

boom!

A green figure soared into the sky and reappeared before everyone.

Saab!

But now he was no longer handsome and elegant. His body had swelled several times over, turning into a hideous humanoid monster over three meters tall, covered in bumps and spikes!

His once handsome face was now twisted and ferocious, his gaping maw filled with sharp fangs!

"You... damn... old bastard!"

Sabo's hoarse voice, like two pieces of metal rubbing together, rang out. He stared intently at the white-bearded man, his eyes, filled with savagery and madness, burning with a fury that could incinerate everything!

"How dare you... how dare you force me... to become this hideous!"

"Unforgivable!"

"Absolutely unforgivable!"

"I'm going to tear you to pieces—!!!!!"

Sabo let out a frenzied roar that sounded inhuman!

boom!

The air beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

Too fast! So fast that even Whitebeard's Observation Haki could barely catch a glimpse of it!

"Behind you! Dad!" Marco shouted anxiously from the crowd!

However, it was too late!

Bang--!!!!

A dull, loud thud! Sabo's ugly fist, even larger than a battering ram, slammed solidly into the white-bearded man's back!

"puff!"

The white-bearded man spat out a mouthful of blood, his massive body staggering forward from the blow! The ground beneath his feet collapsed with a deafening roar!

"It's not over yet!" Sabo's maniacal, gleeful laughter rang in Whitebeard's ears!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

A torrent of punches, like a dense drumbeat, rained down on the white-bearded man! Each punch contained terrifying power capable of shattering mountains!

Even with the Eight Gates and Kaioken activated, Whitebeard's powerful body began to show signs of collapse under the relentless attacks! The blood-red steam and deep crimson flames around his body began to become chaotic!

"Gurala la la..."

Whitebeard wanted to retaliate, swinging his fists and trying to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power to pulverize this damned monster! But Sabo, after transforming, was just too agile!

His attacks were cunning and ruthless, each one precisely interrupting Whitebeard's power-building, leaving him with a world-destroying power that he couldn't unleash!

"Go to hell, you old bastard!"

Sabo seized an opportunity, twisting his massive body at an incredible angle, and a thick, spiked tail lashed out like a steel whip across Whitebeard's waist!

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out! The white-bearded man's massive body was once again violently sent flying, rolling on the ground like a tattered sack a dozen times before finally coming to a stop.

"Dad!"

"Whitebeard!"

Everyone gasped in shock! They stared in disbelief at the white-bearded man lying on the ground, panting heavily and covered in blood.

Lost?

Whitebeard, who had activated the Eight Gates and the Kaioken technique, was actually defeated?!

"Ughhhhhh! That green-skinned bastard!" Kaido's huge dragon face contorted with rage. He was about to charge forward when Lynn raised his hand to stop him.

"Father."

"Games need rules."

Lynn's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly extinguished Kaido's furious flames.

On the battlefield.

"Oh ho ho ho ho..." Sabo looked at the disheveled white-bearded man lying on the ground and let out a hearty, maniacal laugh.

"waste!"

He walked step by step toward the white-bearded man, determined to twist the old man's head off with his own hands!

Use his blood to wash away the shame of being forced to transform!

Just then.

Lynn's calm voice slowly echoed in the white-bearded man's mind.

"White beard."

Who told you that?

"The Kaioken technique can only be used at twice its normal power?"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap, a thunderbolt that shook the heavens and the earth, to the somewhat confused mind of the white-bearded man!

His pupils, which had been somewhat dilated due to the intense pain, instantly focused again!

Yes.

Lynn the kid only taught them how to use the Kaioken.

But they have never said where the limits of Kaioken are!

Didn't Akainu just use a new technique that combined with his own abilities?

That being the case!

He's Edward Newgate!

This man has reigned over the sea for decades!

How could we possibly lose to a mere navy brat?!

"Gurala la la..."

The white-bearded man smiled.

He used his unbroken arm to support himself as he slowly stood up from the ground!

His massive body was trembling violently.

His wounds were bleeding profusely.

But his domineering aura, soaring to the heavens once again!

It's even more refined than before!

Even more terrifying!

"Oh? Still alive?"

Sabo stopped in his tracks, looking somewhat surprised at the old man who had stood up again, looking like a candle flickering in the wind.

"What a tenacious cockroach! But that's where it ends."

He charged at the white-bearded man once again!

This time, however, Whitebeard did not passively take the beating. He looked at the ugly monster charging towards him, his murky eyes burning with a raging fire called "pride"!

"Kaiou Fist..."

The white-bearded man's hoarse voice resounded deep within everyone's souls!

"three times--!!!!!"

Rumble rumble rumble rumble—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An indescribable and terrifying energy storm swept wildly in all directions from the white-bearded man's center! Under this storm, the ruins of the entire God-Slaying Island were once again pressed down dozens of meters!

"Wh...what?!"

Sabo, who was charging toward Whitebeard, was blasted away by this sudden and terrifying energy storm!

His ugly face was filled with utter absurdity and disbelief!

Beep be ...

Combat power!

Thirty-six thousand!

Thirty-seven thousand!

Thirty-eight thousand!

It's still skyrocketing!

"No...impossible!" Sabo let out a piercing, terrified scream! "This is absolutely impossible! How could a dying old man possess power greater than Captain Ginyu?!"

However, Whitebeard gave him no time to think.

"Boy." His eyes, burning with deep red flames, coldly locked onto Sabo. "I'll use you to witness my final, world-conquering strike!"

He slowly raised his intact fist once again!

An endless, vibrating force!

The energy of the triple Kaioken is endless!

At this moment, everything frantically converged and compressed towards his fist!

Buzz—! !!! !

The entire world seemed to fall silent at that moment. All eyes were fixed on the chaotic energy sphere slowly forming on the white-bearded man's fist, radiating an aura of endless destruction! That energy sphere was several times larger than before, and the destructive power it contained was a hundred or a thousand times stronger!

"Earthquake and Cataclysm!"

The white-bearded man's aged yet domineering voice echoed between heaven and earth like a final judgment!

His fist, enveloped in a ball of chaotic energy, swung fiercely towards the terrified Sabo!

Click! Click! Click!

Space shattered completely. A network of crisscrossing, bottomless, black spatial rifts spread across the entire sky like a menacing spiderweb! And the white-bearded man's punch landed right in the center of this shattered space!

boom--!!!!!!!!

There was no light, no sound. The whole world seemed to have been muted at that moment.

A pure, indescribable, destructive white vibration rippled outwards from the white-bearded man's fist.

"No--!!!!!"

Sabo only had time to let out a final roar filled with despair and resentment.

Then, his ugly yet powerful transformed body was silently decomposed, evaporated, and erased within that white, destructive ripple.

Not even the slightest trace was left.

Another victory in the second match!
