"Damn that Akainu!" Kaido gritted his teeth, his body wracked with intense pain.
He unleashed all his strength, trying to defend against Akainu relentless attack.
This was the reason for the drastic change in his physical state; otherwise, Akainu would have sent him to the afterlife already.
At this moment, Akainu was ecstatic.
He was thrilled!
It was the first time he had ever felt the exhilaration of completely overwhelming an Emperor.
The battle raged on.
The Marines had a strength advantage, but they were vastly outnumbered by the combined forces of the two Emperors and their crews.
For a while, the balance was impossible to maintain, with no clear advantage for either side.
The exception, of course, was Akainu and Kaido.
"This is bad..." Big Mom's expression turned grim as she watched Kaido repeatedly get pushed back.
"King! Take the Anywhere door and escape quickly! I'll cover you!" Big Mom knew they couldn't continue fighting like this, so she took on the heavy responsibility of covering their retreat.
While ordering her crew to fall back, she frantically attacked the Marines.
"They must not escape! We absolutely cannot let them get away with the Anywhere door!" Sengoku commanded coldly, his eyes burned with intensity.
"Borsalino, Sakazuki, Kuzan! Everyone follow orders: If we can't safely capture King, then destroy the Anywhere door directly!"
He and Garp had to protect Leon, so they couldn't act freely.
While the door was extremely valuable, it was better to destroy it than let it fall into enemy hands!
"Yes." Kizaru nodded with a smile.
"Yasakani no magatama!"
The next moment, countless light bullets rained down like a storm, all aimed at the Anywhere door in King's hands!
"This is bad!!" King's expression changed drastically.
He moved nimbly, trying to quickly escape with the door.
His speed was incredible and he soon dodged most of the attacks.
For the few remaining attacks, he twisted his body, taking them directly on his back to prevent any damage to the door!
However, he saw Akainu suddenly break away from Kaido and twist his body.
"Great Eruption!" Akainu threw a punch, launching a long-range attack at King.
"Katakuri!" Big Mom, who was currently fighting, shouted.
Katakuri immediately stretched out his body to block the punch!
However...
BOOM!
Katakuri instantly spat blood, his entire body sent flying backward.
Only when facing the attack directly did he realize how terrifying Akainu was with the added power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!
I can't even withstand a single hit!
"What?!" The Great Eruption strike had instantly defeated Katakuri and directly engulf King.
BOOM!
Then, with an Explosion, the Anywhere door in his hands exploded.
"The Anywhere Door!!"
Seeing this, Kaido and Big Mom's veins bulged.
Their hearts bled at the sight!
It wasn't easy to get their hands on a door like that, and now it was destroyed.
"Mama..." Smoothie, enduring her injuries, gritted her teeth as she stood up.
"KINGG!" Queen immediately went to support King.
"The Marines is too strong... let's go!!" Big Mom ordered.
By now, their side was completely losing.
Staying any longer would be too embarrassing and there was a possibility of being completely annihilated by the Marines!
"Let's go????" Akainu shouted.
"Where do you think you're going?!" He wasn't about to watch the enemy escape.
"Big Mom! Kaido, we're here!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the sky.
Coming to their aid was the Vinsmoke family, with a large number of Seraphim behind them!
"Hmph, the infamous Vinsmoke family? Then let's wipe them out too!"
Akainu's eyes were full of killing intent as he couldn't help but step forward to fight them!
"Alright, Sakazuki!" Sengoku suddenly shook his head.
"We've achieved our goal; there's no need to continue fighting!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered the retreat.
Now that the enemy's Seraphim numbers were too high, the Marines would likely suffer heavy casualties if they continued to fight.
It was better to withdraw.
After all, with Leon on their side, the Marines' strength would continue to grow explosively over time, and they would eventually be able to completely crush the Yonko's.
Why take a risk now when they could defeat them with minimal losses later?
"Sengoku-san..." Akainu clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with deep unwillingness.
Finally, he gave a cold snort and turned away.
By now, Aokiji had already led the Celestial Dragon Mjosgard through an Anywhere door to the Marine Headquarters.
"Alright, all forces retreat!" Seeing the Big Mom Pirates and Beast Pirates quickly withdrawing, Sengoku also ordered a retreat.
The three Admirals, Tsuru, the Admiral Seraphim, and many Marine elites all returned to Marine Headquarters.
In the distance, Kaido, supported by Big Mom, looked on as the Anywhere door disappeared.
*****
The Marines returned to their headquarters.
As soon as they arrived, another Anywhere door suddenly appeared—it was the Five Elders!
"What happened? Are you alright?" The Five Elders looked at the Celestial Dragon with worry.
"I'm fine!" The Celestial Dragon was still in shock.
Sengoku smiled and said, "Saint Mjosgard is fine, but we just lost an Anywhere door!"
Hearing this, the Five Elders all laughed.
"It's just one Anywhere door, he can buy another one."
All their gazes then turned to Akainu.
"Sakazuki, did you really obtain Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability?"
They couldn't help but ask.
The Five Elders had, of course, seen the battle earlier and were curious.
"Yes!" Akainu looked displeased at first, but mentioning this matter, he smiled again.
"This time, it's thanks to Leon's Second Devil Fruit that I was able to defeat that bastard Kaido head on!"
