The first clash nearly obliterated everything in the vicinity. It looked as if a meteor had crashed into the land. Red-Haired Shanks and Kaido stood at the deepest point of the crater.
On the ninja battlefield, Killer B was charging forward, yet he couldn't help but stop and watch the livestream.
"Yo~! That's the perfect physique I've been chasing! I wonder if my scorching Lariat could even scratch a monster like that?"
In Killer B's mind, the shock Kaido gave him rivaled the legendary Third Raikage.
The Third had once been hailed as possessing the strongest shield and strongest spear in the entire history of the ninja world. He'd fought tens of thousands of ninja for three days and three nights without suffering a single wound.
"Is that chakra? What a thick, domineering power… Just the leftover force from their collision can cause destruction on this scale?"
Orochimaru let out a serpentine hiss of laughter. "Even if I died a hundred times, I still wouldn't beat a specimen like that…"
The Kage across the Shinobi World were all horrified.
In Kaido, they saw the shadow of the Third Raikage, no, someone even stronger.
If they had to face Kaido, they would be completely helpless… just like how the ninja army was now being slaughtered by Madara on the battlefield.
"Conqueror's Haki clash! That's so cool! I wanna have that power too!!"
Luffy was trembling, shocked to his core.
A face-off between Yonko level monsters shook him completely. If he were present, just the aftershock of their collision would knock him out cold.
Meanwhile, Shanks and Kaido stood there as if nothing had happened.
The Red Hair Pirates were calm, almost bored.
They'd seen scenes like this too many times to count.
On Whole Cake Island, Big Mom was dancing and singing during her tea party. Her eldest son, Perospero, walked over licking a massive candy cane.
"Mom, should we go help Kaido? You two have some history, after all."
Big Mom waved him off, singing at the top of her lungs.
"Ma~ma~ma~! You really underestimate Kaido. Wano is his territory.
If he can't even protect his own turf, he doesn't deserve to be a Yonko."
She stuffed a cream puff into her mouth with pure bliss.
At Marineford, the three Admirals were completely shaken by the livestream.
Perhaps only Sengoku and Garp, who had actually fought monsters like this in the past, could remain calm.
If any of the Admirals had to face Kaido one-on-one, the outcome would be grim. His displayed strength was simply too overwhelming.
Garp noticed their tense expressions and burst out laughing.
"What's wrong? Scared already? If you knew that Roger's crew were all monsters like Kaido, you'd faint.
Back in the day, all the current sea monsters once sailed under Rocks."
Sengoku didn't speak.
He silently recalled that terrifying era, and cold sweat ran down his back.
If the World Government hadn't destroyed the Rocks Pirates that year, the whole world might be ruled by pirates now.
"Whitebeard… I heard he doesn't have many years left.
If it were him in his prime, he could beat Kaido into the ground in a few blows."
Hiss,
The three Admirals looked outwardly calm, but inside they were shaken to the core.
Was Whitebeard really that strong?
The monsters of the previous era were beyond anything they could imagine.
Even after serving for years, they had never witnessed the full power of Sengoku or Garp.
Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates were heading toward Marineford.
After capturing Ain, the user of the Return-Return Fruit, Whitebeard finally gave in to his sons' pleas.
His strength had been restored to his peak.
He no longer feared for Ace's safety.
Now feeling the full return of his prime, Whitebeard gripped his bisento.
Even his presence radiated authority.
"World Government… you dare lay hands on my son?!
I am Whitebeard!!
Kaido or whoever, let them come! I fear nothing!"
On a small town near Marineford, Blackbeard tore a huge chunk of roasted meat off with his teeth.
"Ze~hahaha… Pops, I'll be taking your Gura Gura no Mi."
Back in Wano, Kaido and Shanks had already exchanged hundreds of blows.
Kaido's body was absurdly tough. Even Shanks's blade could only leave faint scratches.
Shanks had caught every attack Kaido threw out.
To onlookers, the two seemed evenly matched, yet both men had identical thoughts:
"He's strong.
Stronger than I expected."
Both had assumed they could end this quickly.
Neither expected the fight to drag on.
"Captain, do you need us to step in?"
Shanks gave a calm smile, cold sweat dripping down his temples.
"Even if you all joined in, you wouldn't scratch him.
'The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air'… His skin is like armor.
He hasn't even used Armament Haki yet.
He surpassed my expectations."
"SHANKS!! GET OUT OF WANO!!!"
Kaido rammed his kanabo into the ground, blasting up a storm of dust and debris.
Thunder raged above, chaos reigned below.
Within the billowing smoke, a shadow began to change.
The Red Hair Pirates watched, stunned.
So did everyone in every world watching the livestream.
They were all scared stiff.
From within the storm, a massive dragon surged into the sky, coiling upward, merging with the roaring thunder.
Black clouds sat beneath its feet.
Kaido had transformed into a divine dragon, like a heavenly deity descending to earth, swimming through the rolling storm clouds.
In the Dragon Ball world, Krillin stared at his three-star Dragon Ball.
"A… a dragon?! Did someone gather all seven Dragon Balls? Is that… the Eternal Dragon's human form?!"
Goku was deep in harsh training, but even he was shaken by Kaido's fighting style.
"I need to get stronger!"
"Whoa~! He can turn into a divine dragon?
That's so cool!
There are way too many people stronger than me…
Good thing I made the list, even if I'm only tenth!"
On his homemade raft, Seven (Scissor Seven) drifted toward the Black Tortoise Kingdom.
After resolving the crisis on the small island, he knew he couldn't stay there any longer.
Otherwise, peace would never return.
This is it,
The Mythical Zoan: Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Form!
Kaido had transformed.
"Azure Dragon Breath!!!"
