Kaido deliberately tapped the ground with his hassaikai, each strike shaking the Marine warships slightly.
Akainu's magma fists reignited, and he said with a grim face, "We can fight."
His gaze passed over Kaido, locking onto Uta on the top floor of the concert hall, "But the premise is—I'm taking that girl."
"Huh?" Kaido's dragon whiskers suddenly bristled, as if he had heard some huge joke. He exaggeratedly dug at his ear, then turned to Yamato not far away and shouted, "Son! This red dog says he's taking your idol!"
Yamato immediately brandished her hassaikai and leaped over, "Dream on!" She bared her tiger fangs, blocking the direction of the concert hall, "Whoever dares to touch Uta has to get past me first!"
Kaido flicked his tail in satisfaction, then turned back to Akainu with a mocking expression, "See? Even if I agree…"
He deliberately drew out his tone, pointing his hassaikai at Shanks on the other side, "That Red Hair kid over there wouldn't agree either."
Shanks cooperatively pressed the hilt of his gryphon, a dangerous smile on his lips.
What infuriated Akainu the most was Kaido's next action; the damned dragon actually mimicked a birthday party scene, "drawing" a crooked cake shape in the air with magma-like Heat Breath:
"I think you should just obediently roll back to Mary Geoise… and light candles for those old geezers~ Worororororo!"
"You—!" Akainu's rage instantly broke through his reason, and magma surged out from his entire body, "Great Eruption!"
A giant lava fist shot directly at Kaido's face but was shattered by a single blow from his hassaikai. The splashing magma fell onto the sea surface, evaporating into large plumes of white mist.
Kaido's dragon eyes glowed with terrifying red light in the mist, "That's right! It should have been this exhilarating from the start!"
Their Conqueror's Haki clashed, tearing a huge rift in the clouds.
Kizaru immediately transformed into light particles and moved away from the battlefield, not forgetting to quip, "How scary~" Aokiji, meanwhile, silently froze a section of the sea, opening a path for the Marine's retreat.
Yamato seized the opportunity to leap onto the concert hall roof, her hassaikai held horizontally across her chest, "Uta, don't be afraid!" She looked back with a brilliant smile, "No one is taking you today!"
Uta stared blankly at this unfamiliar protector, her grip on the microphone unconsciously tightening.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the battlefield, the Blackbeard Pirates had quietly turned their ship around.
"Zehahahahaha…" Teach's laughter carried a hint of unwillingness, "Let the Marine and Four Emperors bite each other!" He looked greedily in Uta's direction, "We'll go find a more substantial 'gift'…"
As the battle between Kaido and Akainu intensified, the entire island of Elegia trembled. Shanks, however, looked thoughtfully towards the Red Line. The Gorosei would never let this go, and a bigger storm was brewing… The confrontation between Akainu and Kaido instantly ignited the entire battlefield, the clash of two top powerhouses changing the very color of the sky and earth.
Akainu attacked first, his right arm transforming into a giant lava fist ten meters in diameter.
"Dark Hound!"
The scorching magma tore through the air, heading straight for Kaido's face with a pungent smell of sulfur!
Kaido did not dodge or evade, his dragon mouth wide open, "Heat Breath!"
The pale blue fire column collided head-on with the lava fist, and the shockwave from the explosion directly overturned three nearby warships.
The sea surface evaporated into a vacuum zone a hundred meters in diameter, only to be filled by surging seawater the next second, emitting a deafening roar…
