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

His arrival was not that of a warrior, but of an emperor surveying his domain.

The moment his throne completely detached from the black cavity and hovered above the Seireitei.

He slowly exhaled.

It was a sigh, so faint it was almost imperceptible.

However, this very sigh triggered a terrifying anomaly that horrified everyone!

Centered on his throne, an invisible, gray ripple quietly spread in all directions.

Where the ripples passed—

Below, the complex of buildings, long since reduced to ruins in the fierce battle, those sturdy broken walls and remnants, seemed to have been fast-forwarded through billions of years in that instant. Silently, they lost all texture and color, rapidly weathering and peeling away, ultimately turning into handfuls of fine dust that drifted away with the wind.

The hard earth was the same. The cracked ground instantly became like a riverbed that had been dry for countless years, and then it completely turned into sand, becoming a desolate, gray desert.

Even the space itself began to "age" under this sigh.

The space, already extremely unstable due to the battle between Whitebeard and Big Mom, with its constantly cracking and healing dimensional rifts, seemed to have lost its ability to "self-repair" under the erosion of this force. They became old and fragile, like an old piece of paper riddled with holes by worms, on the verge of collapsing completely at any moment.

This is the power of "aging".

This is Barragán's Respira (the breath of death).

It requires no action and no aiming.

Within his reigning domain, everything will decay, wither, and ultimately return to dust in the face of time.

"Oh, hehehehe! You old rascal, pretending to be a ghost!"

Just as everyone was deeply shocked by this bizarre and terrifying scene.

A roar filled with arrogance and disdain shattered the deathly silence.

Kaido of the Beasts!

His enormous dragon head emerged from the distant smoke and dust, his beastly eyes, like molten gold, fixedly staring at the skeleton emperor sitting on the throne. Instead of fear, his eyes were filled with the extreme excitement of finding a top prey!

"Aging! Time! Before my power, they're all bullshit!"

Kaido laughed wildly. He had long been fed up with this boring "game" and with watching Whitebeard and Big Mom showing off.

Now, finally, here comes a guy who looks a little more "durable"!

"Break into pieces!"

Kaido suddenly opened his enormous dragon mouth, and the terrifying energy that combined the Eight Gates and the twenty-times Kaioken gathered wildly in his throat!

A massive, blood-red and gold-colored, super-sized energy sphere, large enough to engulf the entire Seireitei, and seemingly capable of incinerating the entire world, suddenly took shape!

Boro Breath!

boom--!!!!

The terrifying dragon breath, powerful enough to evaporate the ocean and melt steel, transformed into a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying an unparalleled will of destruction, and fiercely bombarded the Skeleton Emperor who sat on the throne!

This strike was the ultimate expression of pure power!

It was Kaido, the "strongest creature in the world," who issued the most arrogant challenge to the "King of Hueco Mundo"!

However, faced with this attack that would drive any being to despair, Barragan on his throne didn't even lift an eyelid.

He simply sat there quietly.

It was as if that devastating dragon breath never existed.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the incomprehensible and bizarre change occurred as the incomparably violent pillar of dragon breath rapidly approached Barragan.

Its speed is rapidly decreasing in a way that is visible to the naked eye.
