Big Mom clearly felt her Conqueror's Haki being suppressed.
Even with her face flushed red from exertion, she couldn't push it back.
She couldn't help but feel shocked.
Has my Conqueror's Haki weakened?!
The airflow buffeted her body wildly.
With every step Kaido took forward...
The floor tiles beneath his feet cracked a layer deeper.
No!
Kaido's Conqueror's Haki is too strong!
Big Mom withstood the powerful wind pressure. Her dress fluttered violently, and Napoleon on her head was almost blown away.
The shock in her heart was indescribable.
What on earth has Kaido been through?! For his Conqueror's Haki to be exaggerated to this extent!
The three top cadres watched this duel with drastically changed expressions.
Their trusted Mama was at a disadvantage from the moment they met.
Kaido was stronger than they imagined!
"Where is Charlotte Pudding hiding? I only want her." Kaido quickly scanned the personnel in the venue as he walked.
He didn't find his target, Pudding.
Besides her, another person was missing: the Mirror-Mirror Fruit user, Brûlée.
"Oh? Looks like she hid inside a mirror."
That woman had no combat power. She would either appear beside Big Mom seeking protection...
Or she could only take people and hide in the mirror dimension.
Hearing the truth exposed in one sentence, Katakuri's palms sweated, but he also rejoiced that he had made the right choice.
"You want to snatch someone from my pirate crew? You're a few hundred years too early, Kaido!" Big Mom mocked. It was obvious Kaido couldn't do anything about the mirror dimension.
Kaido's expression grew colder, and his Conqueror's Haki gradually settled.
This thing was never as practical as an iron club.
Big Mom also saw his intention, which suited her perfectly!
The two suddenly disappeared, flashing to the center of the main hall, both leaping into the air.
The giant sword and the iron club clashed!
Lightning generated by Conqueror's Haki appeared on their respective weapons.
The weapons, which should have touched, actually collided in mid-air without contact!
An extremely strong airflow shot into the sky, destroying the castle instantly!
Like a red-black lightning bolt shooting straight from the ground to the sky.
It directly split the dark clouds stretching for dozens of miles, suppressing the heavy rain and thunder.
The sky was split in two from the direction where the two stood.
Like the maw of a dark abyss, everything was pouring backwards into it, as if to devour everything!
In reality, this was the commotion caused by the collision of their Conqueror's Coating changing the atmosphere!
"That... What is that!"
"The sky split open!!"
The other thirty-plus islands also saw the shocking anomaly on Whole Cake Island.
They couldn't help but stand still in a daze.
One of them sneaked into an unmanned corner, took out a Den Den Mushi, and dialed out.
"Hello, report the battle situation."
"I don't know how Kaido got in, but he's fighting Big Mom now!"
"Received. Continue monitoring. Report immediately if there are any new developments!"
"Yes!"
Inside the castle.
Katakuri, who was closest to the two, was startled by another scene.
"The weapons clearly didn't touch in the air!"
"Why is there a familiar aura on them?!"
Katakuri was so shocked by this scene that his brain almost stopped working.
This scene exceeded his cognitive range!
"Don't space out! Katakuri!"
Perospero's roar came from beside him.
Katakuri snapped back to reality and looked closely.
Big Mom was forced back by Kaido again.
The castle began to collapse, and countless huge rocks were falling into the main hall.
Perospero was building a candy wall to protect the unconscious people.
Katakuri hurriedly sprinted over. On the way, the ground began to awaken and turn into mochi. Then, with a wave of his large hand, a layer of mochi wrapped in Armament Haki covered and protected everyone.
Boom!!!!
The entire castle collapsed with a bang. Tens of thousands of tons of steel and stone fell abruptly, kicking up a large cloud of dust...
Completely burying the group underneath.
"Kaido!!!"
Big Mom was furious. Her pink hair floated high into the sky; now she really looked like a crazed pink lion.
That was her castle! Everything she collected was kept inside!
Those rare animals! Those rare treasures! And those sweet and delicious cakes!
Now that they were destroyed because of Kaido, she was simply furious.
"Hmm? I've stated my request." Kaido jumped back a distance without pursuing. He twisted his neck, making crisp cracking sounds. "Give me Pudding now, and I can take her and leave immediately."
Take her away?
You destroyed my things and think you can leave easily!?
Big Mom was enraged. Her cape fluttered behind her. She raised Napoleon high with both hands and slashed down with all her strength.
Sword light emerged from Napoleon. With a rapid swing, the power of the slash was thrown out.
"Ikoku Sovereignty!!!"
A huge pink shockwave slashed across the sky.
It flew towards Kaido at supersonic speed.
Crushing everything it touched along the way into powder like rotten wood!
Kaido extended his left hand. His fingertips became sharp, and azure dragon scales instantly covered them.
The dragon claw immediately grabbed at the flying shockwave.
Zzzzz—
The Ikoku Sovereignty shockwave shook violently in Kaido's hand, as if trying to break free from his grasp.
But the claws, like an iron cage, confined it firmly in place.
It couldn't break free at all!
Like a struggle before death, it even shook Kaido's arm twice.
After that, the power of Ikoku Sovereignty gradually weakened.
With a bang, it was crushed by Kaido.
Fragments of light drifted out from the gaps between the dragon claws.
Disappearing in mid-air.
Crushed it?
He crushed it forcibly without even using Armament Haki!?
Big Mom's expression became increasingly grave. Kaido's strength was somewhat beyond her imagination.
Has this brat's physique become this strong with the boost of the Azure Dragon Fruit...
Looks like only Conqueror's Coating has a chance of hurting him.
Or...
"Prometheus! Zeus!"
"Here! ~Mama" *2
"Heavenly Fire! Thunder!"
She threw both hands, sending a fireball and a thundercloud floating into the sky.
Zeus shouted in surprise: "The weather looks really delicious!"
Prometheus scolded: "Zeus! Listen to Mama!"
Zeus instantly looked aggrieved.
The two took a deep breath, and their sizes began to expand.
The rolling fireball turned into an artificial sun in a few breaths.
The thundercloud also turned into a huge ball of lightning.
Big Mom waved her large hand, and the two spheres rushed towards Kaido.
Kaido didn't stop them, nor did he use Armament Haki for defense.
Just right to see to what extent my defense in base form has increased!
