Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

The fleeing pirates, who hadn't yet arrived, suddenly found a magma giant standing before them.

Scalding magma flowed across his black body, and his enormous head emitted black mist filled with poisonous gases.

"Little mice, where are you going?"

Sakazuki, who had transformed into magma, suddenly cracked open and roared, "Get out of the way!!!"

Kaido roared.

However, it was all too late.

For the pirates who were nearby providing support, nothing was more terrifying than the raised fist of an admiral.

"Haunted Dog!"

Rumble!

Sakazuki unleashed a devastating attack, utterly destroying the pirates before him without a chance to retaliate.

Under the extreme heat of the magma, not even their bodies remained.

However, this is just the beginning.

Kaido took a step forward and sprinted wildly across the land, his momentum like thunder.

Sakazuki glanced at Kaido out of the corner of his eye before fixing his gaze on the pirate in front of him. "Volcanic eruption!"

Sakazuki's legs plunged deep into the ground, his hands pressed against the rocks, and he activated his ability to frantically draw energy from the underground magma.

The island's ground instantly became scorching hot, some areas turning crimson red before rising high into the air.

"burst!!!"

Small volcanoes exploded on the island under Sakazuki's power, hindering Kaido's advance and thwarting the pirates' hopes of escaping the island.

Looking at the assembled pirates, Sakazuki revealed a cruel smile:

That's great that we've all gathered together.

"A massive fireball!"

All the magma flowing through his body converged on Sakazuki's iron fist, and the danger of this attack could be clearly sensed even without Observation Haki.

The desperate pirate turned to look at his boss Kaido and his three calamities and other officers.

"Sakazuki!!! Damn it!!! Stop it right now!!!"

Kaido was forced to transform into his Azure Dragon form once more and fly towards Sakazuki's location.

boom!

Endless magma was gathered by Sakazuki into an iron fist. The impact of the volcanic eruption unleashed the full power of this burning magma fist. Even a mountain blocking Sakazuki's path was of no use.

!

Just when things were at their most critical, Kaido finally caught up with the pirates. Without saying a word, Kaido coiled his body into a circle.

The scorching magma fist slammed into Kaido's solid body.

子！

The dragon's roar was filled with intense pain.

Before long, the air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat.

Kaido was instantly forced back into human form from his Azure Dragon form by Sakazuki's powerful fire breath, but the current Kaido was not as imposing as before.

Half of his body was severely burned, and a small portion of his hair had also been burned off. Kaido endured the excruciating pain and directed the pirates' retreat.

These weren't just any pirates he gathered; they were all his elite men. Without them, Kaido would be a lone wolf.

Just then, Kaido's eyes widened, because Sakazuki had somehow acquired a person in his arms.

Runti, one of the six flying creatures.

Sakazuki's large hands gripped her head tightly, lifting her up completely.

"Let her go, Sakazuki!!!"

Seeing his key subordinate captured, Kaido lost all his previous arrogance.

"Um?"

Sakazuki exerted a slight force with his right hand, and an irresistible force acted on Runti's head. Even though her head was covered with Armament Haki, it had no effect on Sakazuki.

Just like a ripe watermelon, it will burst open with just a little force.

Runte's move involves using her head, covered in Armament Haki, to ram into the enemy, but she now feels that her head is no different from a watermelon. This is the first time she has experienced how her former enemies felt when facing her, and it will be the last.

Because of pfft.

Runti's head exploded in the air like a watermelon being smashed, releasing a cloud of blood.

Sakazuki let Runti's body fall to the ground, looking at Kaido with a defiant gaze.

"Damn it!"

When Forzford, the leader of the Flying Six, saw his fellow Flying Six members die at the hands of Sakazuki, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

He knew very well that as a fellow member of the Flying Six, he was definitely not strong enough to instantly kill Rune, while Sakazuki could kill Rune so easily, so he could also kill him instantly. He instantly transformed into a giant Ancient Zoan saber-toothed tiger, and Armament Haki covered his entire body.

The enormous saber-toothed tiger looked imposing and majestic, but in reality, Who's Fozfoe just wanted to escape.

His limbs were already embedded in the hard rocks. If Kaido could delay him for even a minute, he was confident he could escape to the pirate ship.

Unfortunately, his wish failed.

Because, after dealing with Runti, Sakazuki turned his attention back to him.

"son!!!"

Facing Sakazuki's gaze, Forzford roared, but everyone could hear the lack of confidence and fear in his roar.

Are you afraid of me?

Sakazuki's eyes were filled with ruthlessness and murderous intent as he shouted, "Fang Flash!!!"

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, Forzwar ignored his fear of Sakazuki and followed his instincts, unleashing his most powerful attack on Sakazuki.

The saber-toothed tiger's gaping maw revealed two gleaming fangs, seemingly capable of severing Sakazuki's neck with a single blow.

Sakazuki remained calm, seemingly unfazed even by Kaido's attacks from behind.

A World Government defector? How interesting.

"Iron block!"

Sakazuki, wielding Iron Body, simultaneously covered his right arm with Armament Haki and punched Who's-Who's tiger's mouth.

Carbohydrate.

The saber-toothed tiger's sharp fangs bit into Sakazuki's arm, but aside from the sparks that flew out, Sakazuki was unharmed.

Forsford's eyes were filled with disbelief.

How is that possible?

He knew he was no match for Sakazuki, but the fact that he couldn't even break through his defenses was beyond his wildest imagination.

"Wait, I know a lot of pirates."

Fozfoe wanted to sell information to Sakazuki in exchange for his life, but Sakazuki had no intention of listening.

His arm, which was being bitten by Forsuf, began to turn bright red and hot. "Hound of the Underworld!"

This attack, which even Whitebeard couldn't defend against, exploded inside Fozfer's mouth; the soft muscles couldn't stop the Hades' penetrating power at all.

A stream of lava spurted out from behind the saber-toothed tiger's head.

puff.

The saber-toothed tiger's body fell heavily to the ground.

Sakazuki shook his hand.

Kaido finally caught up with Sakazuki from behind. Enraged, he didn't have time to observe Sakazuki's movements and leaped into the air, grabbing Happosai with both hands.

The Conqueror's Haki instantly enveloped the spiked club, which then slammed down towards Sakazuki's skull.

"Roaring Eight Trigrams!!!"

Carrying lightning from the sky, Kaido, wielding the Eight Treasures, was as unstoppable as an ancient war god.

!

Instead of dodging, Sakazuki launched another attack on Kaido, this time with a vicious attack called "Dog Devouring Crimson Lotus".

He's going to fight fire with fire!

boom!

Sakazuki's right hand clashed with Kaido's Eight Treasures.

This time, Kaido was much better prepared, and the full power of his Thunder Bagua was much stronger than the hastily used Crimson Lotus.

Sakazuki's lower body was forcefully driven into the rock by Kaido.

His right hand was already severely injured; if he hadn't used the iron block in time, it's very likely that his right hand would have been ruined by that blow.

However, Kaido also suffered significant consequences. The recoil from Sakazuki's strong attack tore open Kaido's wounds again, causing blood to flow continuously, but Kaido did not care at all.

Sakazuki re-condensed the magma in his left hand.

"A massive fireball!"

Kaido vanished from his spot in an instant and reappeared in the distance. The giant flames did not disappear because Kaido dodged; instead, they shot straight into the sky and exploded into a huge firework.

boom!

While Sakazuki was still in place, Kaido hurled the Eight Treasures at Sakazuki's head again.

Sakazuki conjured a shield made of magma on his left arm, covered in Armament Haki, and clashed with Kaido.

Although Sakazuki couldn't avoid the wounds inflicted by Conqueror's Haki, he couldn't defeat him with just that technique.

"Heh, being mistaken for one of the Three Emperors by those trash pirates, do you really think you're strong enough?"

"In the battle of God Valley, they were just peripheral soldiers. If they hadn't run away, they probably would have died there."

Sakazuki rarely talks trash, but that doesn't mean he doesn't.

To defeat Kaido, he would naturally use every means to achieve victory, including provoking his opponent to lose his mind in a fit of rage.

This kind of move is unlikely to be effective against Shanks, and it's not a good move for Charlotte Linlin either.

However, for Kaido, who acts recklessly and prefers hand-to-hand combat, this is a fatal blow.

His eyes were filled with boundless rage and murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and said:

"What did you say?!"

Ignoring the damage to his body, Kaido's arm muscles swelled and exerted force once more, sending powerful bursts of energy through Happosai onto Sakazuki's body.

It seems that Sakazuki needs to be forcibly pressed deep into the earth's core.

"Hmph, you were no good back then, and it seems you still aren't good enough now!"

Sakazuki's right arm was now free to move, so he pressed the arm, covered in Armament Haki, against the surface of the spiked club.

"Speaker it out!"

Advanced application of Armament Haki by simultaneously releasing both hands - External Release.

Using a brief burst of power, he deflected Kaido's spiked club, then his body quickly turned into magma and sank deep into the earth's core.

The spiked club slammed deeply into the ground, and Kaido's roar echoed throughout the entire island.

"Everyone, leave Ghost Island immediately!"

Leave as many as you can, don't stay here!

Kaido understood Sakazuki's intentions; the reason he went to Onigashima alone was because of his Devil Fruit power.

The Magma-Magma Fruit is the most powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit in terms of attack power. When Sakazuki unleashes his full power, he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

A cataclysmic Devil Fruit capable of sinking a small island in a matter of minutes.

If naval soldiers land on the island, Sakazuki will not be able to unleash his full potential.

However, this resulted in heavy casualties among Kaido's subordinates.

After leaving the Rocks Pirates, it took Kaido a long time to gradually become one of the rulers of the New World.

It has a group of core cadres, including the Three Disasters and the Flying Six.

He has already lost two, and he doesn't dare to think about how many more will die.

What Kaido didn't know was that he thought Sakazuki was the only one there.

Or perhaps Sakazuki's sudden appearance and the heavy casualties suffered by the Beasts Pirates attracted Kaido's attention.

This made him overlook the fact that there was another admiral in the New World Navy also present.

While Kaido was still pondering Sakazuki's seemingly pointless fire-breathing attack, little did he know that warships in the distance, under Raleigh's command, were already heading towards Onigashima.

It seems Admiral Sakazuki caused quite a stir on Ghost Island!

"Admiral Sakazuki's strength is unmatched!"

Lord Sakazuki must have killed a ton of pirates!

On the warship, every naval soldier who was ready for battle was filled with anticipation for Sakazuki's battle.

Sakazuki also has a considerable number of supporters in the Navy.

At this moment, Raleigh's deck was filled with vice admirals.

Doberman Mouse Cleveland Garden Plus, etc.

They all came to Raleigh requesting missions.

"Lord Raleigh, I'm willing to be the first one to reach the island!"

"Admiral Sakazuki was the first to storm the island, I'll be the second!"

"General Raleigh, you be the judge. It's been so long since I got to be the main attacker. The guys below are complaining. It's about time it was my turn."

"What are you talking about? We're all navy soldiers fighting for justice, why are you dividing us into main attackers and support attackers? I suggest we go by strength!"

Since I am the strongest, I should naturally be the main attacker.

The lieutenant generals, each saying something, were driving Raleigh crazy.

The people on deck were either closely associated with Raleigh or Sakazuki; everyone was a hawk, and Raleigh couldn't distinguish right from wrong either.

!

Raleigh slammed his fist on the fence and roared:

"What's all the noise about? If you keep making noise, I'll transfer you to be in charge of stopping the Red-Haired Pirates and the Charlotte Family."

The lieutenant generals on deck immediately fell silent.

The ambushers were already stationed on the pre-arranged island; going to intercept them now would be like being caught in the middle and getting nothing in return.

He could only watch Raleigh helplessly.

「额

Suddenly, Raleigh's eyes lit up and an idea popped into his head.

"Forget assists, get to the main attack!"

"Listen carefully, in this attack on Ghost Island, there is no distinction between main and supporting attack ships; whoever attacks the fastest will be the main attacker."

"I've given you all the opportunities; whether you seize them is up to you."

A smile appeared on Raleigh's lips.

The lieutenant generals were all pleasantly surprised when they heard about this.

I was initially worried that Raleigh would use his position to gain some merit for his lieutenant generals, but now it seems that Raleigh has no intention of doing so at all. He doesn't distinguish between main attack and supporting attacks, so let's see who can get the spoils.

The lieutenant generals bid farewell to Raleigh and returned to their own warships, eager to make their mark.
