"Old woman!"
"Linlin!"
Golden Lion and Kaido shouted.
Although the Four Emperors are powerful, the devil fruit users are still vulnerable to the sea water.
Big Mom has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and due to her strength, it might take some time before she dies drowning.
But his is just a temporary situation.
If they don't rescue her soon, Big Mom will certainly die.
"Save her quickly!"
Kaido shouted.
They had to stop Whitebeard and then save Big Mom.
Once Big Mom returns to the island, they will still have a significant three-to-one advantage.
Without a doubt, they wouldn't stand a chance against Whitebeard with just the two of them.
"Bolo Breath!"
With a powerful roar, Kaido unleashed his devastating attack
A colossal beam of fire erupted toward Whitebeard, unleashing its terrifying might.
At the same time,
Golden Lion also rose to the sky.
His body flashed and reappeared in the sky.
"Lion Cut!"
He forcefully stamped his right foot.
A massive slash appeared, cutting through the air and heading straight for Whitebeard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beam descended, slicing through the air.
The overwhelming energy erupted, obliterating everything and shrouding the area in a cloud of dust.
"Did we manage to stop him?"
Kaido and Golden Lion fixed their gaze on Whitebeard's location.
But before Kaido could finish speaking, a hurricane rolled in, blowing away the thick smoke.
Boom!
The force of vibration erupted, and cracks appeared in the air.
The powerful shockwave nullified the attack.
"Failed!"
Kaido's expression turned serious.
Then he swung his mace in a roaring motion, creating a violent burst of air.
"Whitebeard, die!"
a loud roar echoed.
Kaido's body leaped into the sky and positioned himself directly above Whitebeard.
Kaido's massive form cast a shadow over the battlefield, and his mace swung down, aiming for Whitebeard's head.
"Guurarara~"
"Kaido, you're still as arrogant as ever. You've challenged me countless times over the years, but you've never managed to defeat me,"
Whitebeard laughed.
Whitebeard didn't even try to dodge the devastating attack.
Just as the attack was about to land, he raised his arm, shrouding it in Armament Haki.
Without fearing the power behind the mace's, he grabbed it directly.
Boom!
The invisible energy spread, setting off dust all over the ground.
Whitebeard's gaze sharpened as he firmly gripped the mace, preventing Kaido from gaining any ground.
Kaido growled, ignoring the mace. He raised his other arm, clenched his fist, and swung it vigorously.
This punch was heavily coated with Armament Haki.
Thirty centimeters, twenty centimeters, ten centimeters.
When the fist was only ten centimeters away from Whitebeard's head, a smile finally appeared on Kaido's face.
He was very confident in his punch.
As long as that punch lands, even if Whitebeard is strong, it will deal a heavy blow.
And at this distance, he believed Whitebeard couldn't avoid it!
"Kaido, you're too arrogant!"
Whitebeard's voice boomed.
Kaido, with a confident smile on his face, immediately looked up.
Whitebeard remained calm and confident, his face showing no signs of panic, just like before.
"Huh?"
Kaido's eyes widened in surprise.
Just as Kaido tried to comprehend Whitebeard's unwavering confidence, a surge of overwhelming power swept through him.
At that moment, Whitebeard pushed the mace aside and placed his palm firmly against Kaido's shoulder.
Then forcefully!
Boom!
Kaido's massive body was slammed to the ground.
The ground trembled, and dust billowed up into the air.
Whitebeard seized this chance, grabbing the Naginata and striking Kaido's palm with the Naginata's handle.
"Kaido kid!"
"you"
Whitebeard stepped on Kaido's left hand, and his naginata pressed down on Kaido's right hand, making him unable to move.
Their stern gazes locked onto each other, each regarding the other like an insignificant insect.
"Damn it!"
Kaido's face contorted in frustration as he struggled to rise.
But before he could react...
He witnessed Whitebeard raising his arm, surrounded by a vibrating aura of light.
Boom!
Kaido had been brimming with confidence a moment ago, believing he could land a powerful blow on Whitebeard. However, the outcome was quite the opposite, as he was the one who ended up buried in the ground.
As the shockwave spread, his head kept sinking.
His once majestic and fierce face turned red with blood, clearly displaying his extreme embarrassment.
"Whitebeard, damn you!"
Kaido cursed, his blood-filled face turning hideous with endless anger in his eyes.
Who is he?
One of the Four Emperors of the New World!
Who in the New World can challenge him, who can defeat him?
But now, he's like a chicken, being defeated by Whitebeard, with no dignity left.
This humiliation was something he couldn't accept!
His body struggled violently, desperately trying to break free.
Whitebeard raised his arm once more, and the vibration wave erupted, hitting his head again hard.
Boom!
The ground quakes, and smoke engulfs the area.
Golden Lion, standing nearby, was in shock, his face filled with horror as he witnessed the scene.
He couldn't comprehend how Whitebeard, who was once comparable in strength to him, even in his old age, possessed such incredible power.
As he ages, not only does his strength not decline but actually become stronger!
"What's going on?"
"Whitebeard used to be on par with me, and I'm well aware of his strength. But how has he managed to grow so much stronger in just a few months?"
Golden Lion furrowed his brow.
"Unbelievable!"
He found everything in front of him to be utterly beyond his expectations.
"Golden Lion, don't just stand there, help me!"
Kaido shouted, still struggling to break free.
Having been hit twice, he fully realized Whitebeard's terrifying strength.
At the same time, he realized that he was no match for Whitebeard with his current strength.
If Golden Lion doesn't act quickly, he might end up like Big Mom, driven to the bottom of the sea by Whitebeard.
"Stop talking!"
Golden Lion snorted and soared into the sky.
He then positioned himself in the upper right corner of Whitebeard, raising his right foot high, preparing to execute a powerful slash.
"Guurarara~"
"Shiki, my old friend, don't believe you can just float above and attack whenever you want?."
Whitebeard spoke with a calm smile.
He lifted his fist and punched Kaido into the ground.
Next, he stomped his foot and shot upward, reaching Golden Lion in the sky almost instantly.
"Wait, what?!"
Golden Lion was left in shock.
He couldn't even imagine that Whitebeard could fly.
Was he joking with him for real?! The last advantage he had against Whitebeard is gone now!
