As soon as Kaido broke free, his dragon eyes instantly locked onto the despicable Taoist priest in the sky who had caused him so much humiliation!
Extreme anger caused him to lose all reason in an instant.
"Grandpa! Hope!"
Kaido opened his dragon mouth, wide enough to swallow a mountain, and a destructive dark red light gathered deep in his throat, instantly distorting the surrounding air!
"Heat Breath—!!!!"
An energy torrent, containing the power to burn mountains and boil seas, erupted out, with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters.
The light, like a pillar of light capable of destroying the world, carried Kaido's furious rage and blasted towards Taiko-Wang!
Wherever it passed, space was scorched, distorted, and blurred.
A powerful expert's furious strike is enough to wipe an island off the map!
In that critical moment, everyone thought Taigong Wang would either take the hit head-on or dodge it.
However, Taigong Wang's figure was like a reflection in water tossed with a stone, creating mysterious ripples in space, and then vanished into thin air like a dream bubble!
Only a profound echo remained, clearly reverberating in everyone's ears on the battlefield ravaged by energy.
"The rise and fall of calamities are predetermined. This situation still requires your help to fuel the fire. Take care."
Taigong Wang disappeared?! In a way that defies everyone's comprehension!
Kaido's devastating heat breath instantly lost its target. The terrifying attack grazed Taiko's figure and shot into the distance, destroying a mountain!
On the edge of this devastating battlefield, the Red Team members were not the only ones present.
Countless forces surged in after the barrier opened, following the most intense energy fluctuations amidst the chaos.
With the main naval forces being redeployed to deal with larger threats such as Whitebeard and BigMom, a group of people crossed the naval defenses and reached the high ground of the ruins on the outskirts of Katariya.
They originally came with the intention of picking up bargains, or even taking advantage of the chaos to steal the "gifts from the overseers".
However, when they truly saw the scene at the heart of the battlefield, all their greed and ambition were instantly replaced by boundless shock and fear!
"Are you kidding me?! What kind of monster is that dragon?! Is that Kaido?"
Eustass Kid, the captain of the Kid Pirates and a supernova known for his rage, was deathly pale.
Having never seen the world, he had only one thought in his mind.
What kind of monster could possibly stand against Kaido?!
Just as Kidd was shocked, the Lava Demon God's cold, single eye instantly locked onto the huge target that had broken free—it was none other than Kaido of the Beasts!
Its massive lava body even paused slightly, and amidst the roar mixed with the sound of the earth's veins grinding, it surprisingly carried a trace of residual consciousness originating from Sakazuki.
"Kaido? The scourge of this corrupt world of the Five Emperors—he's been unleashed to cause more trouble—perfect for purifying this decaying land along with him!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Lava Demon even ignored Arjuna, who had just shot an arrow at him, and Karna, who was unleashing his Noble Phantasm!
Its lava eye on its forehead focused instantly, moving at a speed beyond comprehension. The lava death ray, swirling with intense annihilation power, was like a spear of divine punishment.
The attack struck Kaido, who had just transformed into his beast form and was roaring to the sky, without warning.
Too fast! Too sudden!
Kaido's rage was still focused on the vanished Taikoubou, and he never expected that this unfamiliar lava monster would attack him so decisively!
His beast-like intuition was giving him frantic warnings, but his body couldn't keep up.
"Captain, watch out!!" Jin's exclamation had barely left his mouth.
"Huh?!" Kaido only had time to cross his arms, which were covered in top-level Armament Haki, to protect his chest.
Pfft!
A heart-stopping sound, like the dull thud of a hot knife cutting through butter!
That lava death ray actually pierced through Kaido's indestructible top-level Armament Haki defense with ease!
A death ray, interwoven with dark red and pitch black, pierced his chest, unleashing a terrifying annihilation force!
"Aaaaaah!!!" Kaido cried out in horror and rage!
His massive body was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, and he was sent flying backward.
A charred, gaping hole had been pierced through the hard chest, the flesh at the edges exhibiting a strange texture, as if it had been dried out by wind and sand.
Fresh blood gushed out from the inside of the wound like a fountain, but it quickly turned to ashes when it came into contact with the dry edge of the wound!
Even the mighty Five Emperors suffered heavy losses in a single exchange!
"Boss Kaido!!"
"How is that possible?!"
The Beasts Pirates' officers were utterly astonished, hardly believing their eyes!
That invincible captain was actually severely injured in one blow?!
Even Jiang Ziya only used some kind of method, right?
Not only them, but at this moment, the worldview of Kidd on the edge of the battlefield has been completely shattered.
"What kind of monster is that?! Could it be a Heroic Spirit?"
At this moment, the brutal pirate who had slaughtered civilians was completely stunned.
His prized metal arm trembled slightly under the divine power emanating from the demon god.
He witnessed Kaido being severely injured and sent flying by the lava monster, a sight that completely overturned his understanding!
"What a terrifying level of power!" Trafalgar Law frowned. Having learned that Doflamingo was participating in the Holy Grail War, he had been paying extra attention to it. As a result, he had only been in the area for a short while when he witnessed this scene.
"This is beyond the realm of humanity. That bastard Doflamingo—how could he possibly willingly hand over his power to Kaido?"
Kaido, who was in the center of the discussion, fell to the ground. The pain contorted his face, but even more so, it was the overwhelming humiliation of being injured by ants!
He struggled to stand up, but the sharp pain in his chest made him stop moving.
"Protect the captain!!" Chi instantly transformed into a pteranodon form, rushing towards the Lava Demon God with a whirlwind!
Quinn's robotic arm also sprayed venom and lasers!
However, their attacks struck the demon god's lava body like a tree shaking.
With a casual swing of the Lava Blade, carrying the power to tear through space, it shattered the raging wind and melted Quinn's mechanical arm.
The remaining cadres were sent flying backwards, coughing up blood, like kites with broken strings; the gap between them was as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
Just as the Lava Demon was about to deliver the fatal blow to the heavily injured Kaido, who had fallen to the ground.
"Roar!!!!!"
A streak of blood-red lightning, like a mad dog, pounced on the Lava Demon's back!
It is none other than the Mad King Cú Chulainn!
In his completely berserk mind, there was a destructive instinct.
The Lava Demon God's instantaneous attack that killed Kaido just now instantly made him the Mad King's top priority, the prey that should be torn apart.
At the same time, protecting the Master is also the underlying logic of the Berserker.
"Crush them!!" Cú Chulainn growled meaninglessly.
The demonic spear "Gayeberg," wrapped in a blood-red curse that reversed cause and effect, stabbed fiercely toward the back of the demon god's neck.
Sensing the threat behind him, the Lava Demon had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Kaido, and turned his Lava Blade to block!
Clang!
The piercing clang of metal against metal!
The demonic spear clashed with the lava blade, unleashing dazzling sparks and energy ripples!
Cú Chulainn's arm went numb from the immense recoil, but the fierce light in his eyes intensified. Using the recoil as leverage, he somersaulted, and his demonic spear, like a venomous snake, once again pierced the demon god's lava eye!
The attacks were like a storm, unpredictable yet deadly, forcing the demon god to divert his attention to deal with this fearless beast!
"Ugh—cough cough—damn monster—"
Kaido seized the opportunity to struggle to his feet, his eyes burning with fury to the extreme!
Being ambushed and severely injured by an unknown monster is an even greater disgrace than being besieged by the navy!
"Jhin! Quinn! Get out of my way!"
"I'm going to tear this monster to pieces with my own hands!!"
Ignoring the severe wound in his chest, Kaido's Azure Dragon form reappeared!
However, his actions were interrupted by a voice.
"Kaido! Calm down. Don't you understand? No one can deal with that guy except for Heroic Spirits!"
A figure blocked Kaido's path as he was about to charge forward. Although the Conqueror's Haki seemed rather weak in front of the Lava Demon God, it was quite powerful for Kaido.
Kaido initially intended to ignore him, but the pain in his chest became unbearable, so he clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.
"Roger? I wasn't seeing things after all, damn it!"
"That attack was terrifying; did it even cause hallucinations? Tell me, who exactly was that guy?!"
Roger smiled again as he faced his old friend.
"The new recruit on the Rocks ship, I'm telling you, that guy is Akainu Sakazuki!"
Upon hearing this, Kaido, who had been somewhat calm, suddenly flew into a rage.
"What?! It's that brat Akainu!!! How could he possibly have this kind of strength?!"
Shanks immediately sided with his captain.
"Idiot, don't you know your own limitations? Go watch your Heroic Spirit's battle with him!"
Many people, enduring the pain, turned their gazes in that direction. With each swing of his lava blade, he tore through space, and his lava domain continued to expand, transforming the world with every move.
The Mad King gained no advantage from him, but this also drove him completely insane!
He was like the deadliest ghost assassin, his figure flashing rapidly between lava and dragon shadows!
The demonic spear "Gayeberg" transformed into countless blood-red afterimages, carrying the cursed power to reverse cause and effect, specifically targeting the nodes where the demon god's energy flowed!
He ignored the threatening tactics and even endured several grazes from the lava death rays, all in order to pierce the core of the demon god with the demon spear!
His attacks lacked any defense, only the most extreme form of offense.
Those crimson eyes were filled with nothing but a desire for destruction, and they uttered incomprehensible battle cries.
"Kill! Blood! Pierce!"
Boom! Bang! Smash! Clang!
The deafening crashes mingled with the berserker's roars, creating a symphony of destruction!
The earth was trampled under their feet like mud.
The lava lake expanded continuously during the fierce battle, swallowing up the last remnants of Katarina.
The sky was torn apart by turbulent energy currents, and the dark sun appeared and disappeared behind the rolling energy clouds.
On the edge of this earth-shattering battlefield.
"Captain, should we get any closer? That black-armored spearman is holding his own against the guy who knocked Akainu away!"
Kira's voice trembled slightly as he questioned Kid.
Kidd watched as a runaway lava flow instantly swallowed up a group of pirates who were trying to get close and take advantage of the situation, without even letting out a scream.
He took a big bite.
"Damn it! Are you looking to die?! Get back! This kind of fight—just watch."
"Incredible!" Empress Boa Hancock stood at the bow of the Kuja Pirates, her beautiful face filled with solemnity.
"Such power, my infatuation with Ganfeng is probably also..." Moonlight Moria's shadow bat trembled under the god's divine might, cold sweat streaming down his fat face.
"Hehehehe—What a perfect body—what a powerful shadow. Too bad—it's too dangerous."
They stood at a relatively safe distance, or at least what they considered safe, using binoculars or their own eyesight to keep their eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.
Each collision between the lava blades and the dragon claws caused the ground beneath their feet to tremble violently.
Each time the demonic spear pierced the demon god's armor, the sparks and energy ripples that erupted caused their pupils to contract.
The demon god unleashed a lava death ray that streaked across the sky.
Even from a great distance, the aura of destruction sent chills down everyone's spines!
Is this the true nature of the Holy Grail War?
Even the emperor of the sea is no different from an ordinary person!
Horrible, absolutely terrifying!
"Fizz! What an exciting scene!"
Doflamingo stood atop a towering, dilapidated stone pillar, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with greed and apprehension.
"Even Kaido ate that lava monster, fufufu!"
"You know what, Shakespeare? I'm so glad I made the decision to hire Kaido's henchmen."
Shakespeare, engrossed in writing, understood Doflamingo's words but merely smiled.
"Hahaha, yes, my Master! I'm not good at fighting!"
"But don't you feel it? This is the real story! This is the real drama!"
"The entire country is trembling under a world-destroying downpour; good and evil no longer matter, haha."
"Enjoy the thunder before the curtain falls! Hahahaha!!!"
