The western forest of Cake Island was burning fiercely, swallowed by angry flames.
Right in the middle, the giant Azure Dragon lay pinned to the ground, suffering under the intense heat.
Slowly, the Azure Dragon raised its massive head, but just as it was about to roar in fury, a bolt of thunder crashed down from the heavens, hitting it squarely on the head.
"Boom!!!"
Trees, flowers, little animals...
Everything caught in the thunder's path was destroyed by its terrible power. Even the rocks and the earth turned to dust and melted away.
Kaido took the thunder head-on, his body seized up and struggling to move.
He knew how to control lightning, but he couldn't control this thunder. Roya was the true master here.
This thunder obeys only that black-haired kid. He 's the real master of thunder!
The thunder faded away.
"Wororororo!"
Kaido regained control and roared, changing from his dragon form into his human-dragon hybrid.
Against the all-powerful thunder, the Azure Dragon was an easy target. The large form could take more damage, but being paralyzed all the time was not pleasant.
"Boom!"
Another thunderbolt!
But this time, Kaido used his Future Sight. He moved out of the way just before the thunder hit.
At the speed of lightning, dodging ahead of time was the only way to survive!
"Hmm? Future Sight!"
Roya's eyes narrowed.
Normally, even if you used Observation Haki to see where the lightning would strike, you couldn't avoid it.
Lightning was too fast. By the time you saw it, it was too late. You had to see the attack coming and dodge quickly.
Kaido must have seen the future.
Ranged attacks are useless now. It doesn 't matter how fast the lightning is; it won't hit someone who knows where it's going.
Roya leaned forward, his feet hitting the air with a loud boom, leaving behind a cloud of sound as he shot towards Kaido like a meteor.
Kaido felt Roya coming. He didn't try to dodge, but instead laughed loudly, stomping his feet and swinging his massive Wolf Fang Club at the falling meteor.
The next moment, a fist covered in Haki and lightning slammed into the dark, shiny Wolf Fang Club!
It seemed like there was an invisible wall between them, keeping them from touching. Only the clash of Haki was visible!
Conqueror's Haki: Emission!
"Boom!!!"
The earth shattered, and huge pieces of rock flew into the sky. The sea of flames, stretching for miles, was instantly put out by the force of the Conqueror's Haki!
----
Up on Cake Castle...
Yamato called Little Pink to her side, carrying the now awake Uta up with her. Morgans and Stussy jumped on Little Pink's back, too.
The four of them sat on the dragon's head, watching the battle below.
The ministers of Totto Land also came out of the Mirror World, clinging to the edge of the rooftop, watching the battle with fear.
Two bright streaks of light moved quickly across the ground, constantly colliding. The island was slowly breaking apart under the force of the battle.
The ministers were worried.
"Damn it, this island is going to be destroyed!"
As soon as he said the words, the earth shook again.
"Rumble!!!"
A huge crack, starting at the battlefield, stretched all the way to the sides of the island, splitting off one-third of it!
The ministers' faces turned pale.
This was more than just a fight between humans. Even the strong Sweet Four Generals couldn't interfere.
Only Mama can stop them!
The crowd looked at Mama, who was in a furious rage. Even Prometheus had turned into a ball of flames on top of her head.
"Damn Kaido and Black Hair Kid!"
Mama roared, gripping the burning Emperor Sword and swooping down towards the battlefield on Thundercloud Zeus.
On the ground, Kaido and Roya, locked in a fierce battle, sensed something was wrong. But they were so focused on attacking that they couldn't afford to be distracted. Whoever stopped first would be badly hurt!
"Mama Raid: Blazing Mother!"
Big Mom, helped by her dive, spun down from the sky, slashing at them both with her burning Emperor Sword!
"Boom!!!"
Flames shot into the sky!
The terrifying force created another huge crack that stretched to the end of the island. Even the town in the center was affected, with houses collapsing.
At the center of the battlefield, Roya and Kaido burst out of the sea of fire, both of them covered in flames, glaring at Big Mom.
"Don't interfere with our battle!"
"You two brats, don't destroy my turf!"
Big Mom, with Prometheus on her head and the Emperor Sword in her hand, her eyes burning with Soul Fire, had gone completely crazy.
"Elbaf Spear: Imposing Nation!"
A powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki shot out, destroying everything in its path!
Kaido and Roya both changed color and dodged to the sides.
"Rumble!"
A massive cloud of dust spread as far as they could see!
"That crazy old woman!"
Roya cursed and scrambled to his feet.
Even though Big Mom was a bit clumsy, her attacks were incredibly powerful. If he was hit by one of her attacks, his body would be badly damaged.
And then there 's still Kaido!
"Wororororo!"
A shadow fell over Roya!
"Three Worlds Descent: Indra's Hell!"
Kaido appeared right above Roya, spinning his Wolf Fang Club and bringing it down with terrifying force!
The timing was perfect!
Roya's face was serious, his palm facing Kaido in the sky.
"Thunder Armament!"
A large amount of thunder gathered in his palm, forming a thick shield.
"Crack!"
When the Wolf Fang Club hit, cracks appeared on the shield. It didn't even last a second before shattering.
The Wolf Fang Club crashed down on Roya's arms, which were crossed to block above him. The sharp spikes pierced into Roya's body.
"Boom!"
The earth shattered, and Roya fell into the earth, coughing up blood.
After taking down Roya, Kaido didn't chase him. Instead, he turned and charged towards the raging Big Mom, swinging his Wolf Fang Club wildly.
"Roaring Thunder Trigram!"
"Bam!"
The Wolf Fang Club slammed into Big Mom's face!
"Wororororo, don't get in the way, Linlin. I'm busy and don't have time for you. Fly away!"
Kaido grinned, his arms bulging. He swung the Wolf Fang Club with all his might, sending Big Mom flying out of the island!
"Kaido!"
Big Mom's eyes were wild as she reached out to grab Kaido, but her body flew uncontrollably, creating a long wave of air as she left the island.
"That old woman will be quiet for a while!"
Kaido slammed his Wolf Fang Club on the ground and turned to look at Roya, who was standing behind him.
Even though he was covered in blood, his eyes were steady, and his Haki was even stronger.
Roya replied coldly.
"That's what I'm thinking, too!"
"Wororororo, Black Hair Kid, let's end this battle, or it'll be a problem when Linlin comes back!"
Kaido laughed, then suddenly stopped.
"You've mastered Future Sight?"
"After seeing it so many times, even an idiot would learn it. Don't forget, I am lightning. I can feel the mental changes when you use Future Sight!"
Roya's eyes were cold as he clapped his hands together and slowly pulled them apart. Bright thunder crackled between his hands, stretching and changing shape, slowly forming a hammer!
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted from Roya's mouth and nose. Ugly veins appeared on his skin, and blood vessels burst under the pressure.
He was focusing all of his electricity into the Thunder Hammer, using Haki to push himself into overload.
"Buzz..."
The Thunder Hammer shook, about to lose control. Because the voltage was too high, the Thunder Hammer slowly turned golden.
"Compressing lightning to its limit, huh? I know a similar move. Let's go all out!"
Kaido sensed danger from the golden Thunder Hammer, but instead of running, he was excited.
He would take the attack head-on!
"Wororororo!"
Kaido roared and jumped into the air, spinning his Wolf Fang Club. Thunder gathered on the Wolf Fang Club, being compressed and changed just like Roya's!
"Great Virtue: Thunder Bagua!"
"Thunder God's Hammer!"
In the sky, golden and purplish-black streaks of light collided!
"Boom!!!"
Color, sound, smell...
Everything disappeared.
When the senses returned, a huge swirling cloud slowly turned, surrounding Cake Island.
Two figures were falling!
