"Bullet!"
Kaido growled deeply, his anger flaring to its peak.
As one of the Four Emperors, when had he ever experienced such intense anger?
To think he had become the prey, with each of them seeking to defeat him.
His rage coursed through his body, causing him to transform into his half dragon-human form. He swung his mace wildly, smashing it towards Bullet.
"Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
Stab!
A thunderous sound reverberated through the air as the Kanabo, coated in dense Conqueror's Haki, crashed forward.
A blow filled with unparalleled power struck Bullet.
"Arrggh"
Before Bullet could shake his fist to defend himself, he felt excruciating pain coursing throughout his body and couldn't help but scream once more.
His charging body came to an abrupt halt and crashed toward the ground.
Kaido didn't pause after delivering the first strike.
Instead, he forcefully planted his feet on the sky, propelled himself downward like a bullet, and charged directly towards Issho, who was on the ground.
Boom!
A deafening noise resounded.
With a swing of his mace, he smashed downward with a wicked grin on his face, his Kanabo densely coated with Haki.
"Is this the Four Emperors, Kaido?"
Issho said with seriousness.
He realized he had underestimated Kaido. Anyone who could become one of the Four Emperors and earn the title of the strongest creature could never be weak.
Cang!
The katana swung through the air.
The purple gravity emanated from his Katana, transforming into surging waves that rushed fiercely toward Kaido.
The two attacks collided, resulting in a powerful explosion.
Lightning exploded and spread in all directions.
The immense power transformed into a hurricane, sweeping across the surroundings. The once solid ground shattered, and stone chips shot through the air like bullets, leaving a lot of marks on the ground.
"Ughhh~"
"What a terrible collision."
"Who's that blind old man? How can he go head-to-head with Governor Kaido?"
The people around quickly raised their arms to block the spreading hurricane, and at the same time looked at the two with trepidation.
They couldn't figure out where Issho came from and how such strong figure stay low key all this time
He has incredible strength, and he's not even afraid of the Four Emperors.
"Issho is probably on par with a Marine Admiral, don't you think?"
Marco whispered as he hardly pushed King away with a punch.
"Yeah, you're right"
"Kaido is one of the Four Emperors. You'd need Admiral-level strength to hold your own against an opponent like that for so long."
Ace agreed
"Hahahaha~"
"Isn't it better? After all, Issho is one of our own in the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Jozu laughed.
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, grinning ear to ear as they fought against the Three-Way Alliance, while their enemies wore grim expressions.
While several people were discussing, Kaido, who was engaged in the battle, became furious. He didn't expect his attack to be intercepted once more.
Amidst the roar, the mace swung incessantly, creating piercing air currents that's smash toward Issho
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clinking echoed, and a series of sparks flew as they weapon clash
Issho skillfully blocked each of Kaido's blows.
As time passed, Issho's frown deepened. He couldn't resist Kaido's attacks as effectively as before, slowly forced to retreat, feeling the numbness in his arms.
"Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
Kaido roared, swinging his mace with great force, with Conqueror haki coated his weapon
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed.
Kaido's mace struck the katana forcefully, causing Issho to step back, his knees bent under the intense impact. He fought to maintain his stance, breathing heavily from the encounter.
"Guurarara~"
"Kaido, this kid is much better than before!"
Whitebeard remarked with a laugh.
In their past experiences, many people believed that the Emperors were at the same level with Admiral.
Are the Emperors and Admirals truly on the same level?
In terms of individual combat capabilities, the Four Emperors surpass Admirals.
Although Admirals can fight the Four Emperors, it is obviously impossible to defeat them one on-one.
"Do you want me to make a move?"
Aokiji asked casually as he got to his feet.
"No need!"
"Bullet and a issho are enough to fight Kaido!"
Whitebeard shook his head.
Kuzan might be able to defeat Kaido with Issho, but Bullet could also do the same if he uses all his combat power.
Once Bullet uses his Clank-Clank Fruit ability to merge with the surroundings, his strength increases significantly. Issho is enough to hold Kaido at bay, allowing Bullet to land a clean hit.
"So my opponent is Big Mom?"
Aokiji spoke.
Since Kaido doesn't need to deal with it by himself, his opponent can only be another one of the Four Emperors.
"That old lady Linlin probably can't just stand watch anymore, right?"
Whitebeard chuckled.
When those words were spoken, Big Mom on the island seemed to react and stood up.
Now that Golden Lion is blocked by Redfield and Kaido having to face Issho and Bullet again, she is now the only one free in the three-way alliance.
"Mamaa~Mamaa"
"In that case, I need to deal with Newgate!"
Big Mom wore a cold expression, and her double-horned hat, Napoleon had transformed into a giant sword.
Big Mom walked slowly, taking one step at a time towards the Moby Dick. The members of the Three-Way Alliance forces noticed her approach and quickly cleared a path for her.
"Mama is going to make a move?"
"Great, as long as Big Mom makes her move, she will definitely be able to stop Whitebeard, so that we have the possibility of winning!"
"Everyone step up their attack and defeat the Whitebeard Pirates!"
The morale of the three-way alliance is soaring
"Big Mom is getting ready to join the fight!"
Marco and the others looked concerned.
They knew exactly how strong the Four Emperors were.
Kaido alone required Issho and Bullet to deal with. Now, with Big Mom taking action, it's added significant pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Is Oyaji going to handle her himself?"
Ace asked, looked around
But then he witnessed Aokiji leaping from the ship, and an overwhelming coldness spread, sweeping across the entire coast.
The three-way alliance forces, who had been cheering moments ago, were now immediately alarmed and stared at Moby Dick.
When they saw Aokiji, their eyes widened.
"Is that Marine Admiral Aokiji?"
"Can it be? Is Marine going to join the battle? Or are the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines working together?"
"You fool, there's no way the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates would join forces!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Aokiji isn't an Admiral anymore. He left the Marines after losing the battle for the position of Fleet Admiral!"
"He quit? So Aokiji joined Whitebeard's crew?"
The three-way alliance was in disbelief.
Aokiji's strength is not far better than Issho
However, the deterrence he brought was a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than Issho.
Because Aokiji is the well-known Marine Admiral who has remained invincible in the New World for over a decade. It can be said that all pirates fear his presence.
So, when Aokiji appeared, the previously cheerful atmosphere took a sudden turn.
Each pirate looked at Aokiji in terror, as if they had come face to face with their worst enemy.
"Admiral Aokiji!"
Kaido, Golden Lion, and Big Mom exchanged uneasy glances.
They did not expect that Aokiji, who is a former Marine Admiral, would join the Whitebeard Pirates.
The impact of this event is several times greater than when Issho sent Kaido flying!

"Aokiji, did you really quit from your position as Marine Admiral just to join the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Big Mom asked, her expression gloomy.
Aokiji's decision to join the Whitebeard Pirates was completely unexpected by everyone.
Most importantly, as a high-level combat force, an Admiral is capable enough of facing Big Mom single-handedly.
In this way, all three captains of the three-way alliance are all countered.
So, who else can effectively stop Whitebeard on this battlefield?
"Being an Admiral and being a pirate have different benefits. Joining the Whitebeard pirate crew might allow me to see things I couldn't have seen before"
Aokiji said with a calm tone.
Talking step by step, he kept getting closer to Big Mom.
"Aokiji!"
Big Mom's anger was burning to extreme, and her Conqueror's Haki surged, creating a hurricane that swept across the island.
Boom!
The sky darkened.
Dark clouds gather like a rising tide, and purple flashes streaked across the sky, creating an apocalyptic vibe. Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the two people rushed forward for combat.
Big Mom swung her giant sword with a thunderous roar. Despite her massive figure, her speed was astonishing, resembling a streak of lightning.
Due to the incredible speed, the ground crumbled, sending rubble flying in all directions.
Suddenly, the giant sword was raised high and brought down with immense force towards Aokiji in an instant.
"She's coming!"
Aokiji's eyes narrowed.
The cold air condensed in his palm, forming a long sword made of ice that instantly positioned itself in front of him.
Clang!
Aokiji's icy sword clashed with Big Mom's massive blade, creating a resounding clang.
The collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air, shaking the surroundings.
Following their initial clash, the two opponents locked eyes and continued on with their attacks.
Their powerful strikes echoed, shattering the ground and leaving deep rifts in their wake.
Spectators scrambled to get out of their way, fearing the collateral damage from the clash between the two titans.
"Aokiji!"
Big Mom shouted with fury in her voice.
With a raised arm, the giant sword came crashing down heavily.
Boom!
The tremendous force spread outwards.
Aokiji was taken aback when he witnessed this, completely surprised by the sheer power.
Nevertheless, he quickly responded, raising his ice sword coated with armament to bear the brunt of it.
However, Big Mom's strike was beyond imagination, and the ice long sword in his hand shattered after a brief resistance.
Pop~
With a pop, ice chips scattered in all directions.
The shockwave of the power also struck Aokiji, sending him flying.
His tall and thin figure pierced through the wall and crashed into the ground, creating a big creator upon impact.
"Admiral Aokiji got blown away?"
Nami eyes open wide, while covering her mouth in a shocked expression .
The group of Straw Hat Pirates knows how strong Aokiji is. They clashed with him before Water 7, and they escaped safely from him, all because Aokiji showed them mercy.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Aokiji is really serious about taking them down, he can definitely kill the Straw Hat Pirates easily.
"Can the Four Emperors actually defeat an Admiral?"
Robin was surprised seeing her savior while also her nightmare easily blown away by Big Mom
"Yes, because the Four Emperors are the ultimate powerhouses of the New World, and Big Mom's strength may even surpass that of an Admirals."
Hancock whispered, she showed no surprise seeing this
"This is a clash between true masters!"
Zoro clenched his fist tightly.
In the first half of the Grand Line, he also defeated many opponents and was very satisfied with the growth of his strength.
However, as he entered into the New World, he soon realized how ridiculous his initial thoughts had been.
In New World, any powerful person can crush them. Being strong in Paradise doesn't mean they are strong in New World. They just some weakling who just come out from 'Paradise'
The Four Emperors, in particular, are on a completely different level!
"We are still too weak."
Sanji said with a sigh.
Before he arrived in Wano, he thought he could participate in this war.
Now, it seems the Straw Hat Pirates can only watch from the sidelines and they are not qualified to participate in the war.
Usopp and the others fell silent, appearing stunned by this revelation.
"Guurarara~"
"Aokiji, you good there?"
Whitebeard on the Moby Dick laughed as he watched Aokiji get blown away.
"Araaraa"
"It looks like I've got a bit rusty there!"
Aokiji replied as he got back on his feet, his sword reformed with the swirling cold.
Said that he stepped heavily on the ground and rushed towards the Big Mom at fast speed, determined to face her might head-on.
When he came to the Big Mom, the sword quickly cut down.
"Mama~Mammaa"
"Aokiji, since you want to help Whitebeard, don't blame me for killing you!'
Big Mom shouted angrily
The giant sword swept across, containing the full power Big Mom
Boom!
Another powerful strike followed.
The turbulent force spread wildly, and the ground that had been shattered became even more dilapidated.
Big Mom had a monstrous body, known as a steel balloon, which grants her formidable defense and insane amount of strength. When she was a child, she wreaked havoc on a giant village in Elbaf during her fits of rage and even managed to defeat adult giant warriors.
Her blows, especially when delivered in anger, are exceptionally terrifying.
Despite Aokiji's desperate efforts, he couldn't halt her onslaught, and his ice sword shattered once more.
"I can't engage in close combat!"
Aokiji's expression shifted.
Without hesitation, he stepped back as the icy wave spread to the surroundings..
Click, click, click~
The ground was frozen, and a vast ice wave rushed toward Big Mom like a raging wave, as if attempting to freeze her.
"Mama~Mamaa"
Big Mom continued to laugh wildly, her gaze locked onto Aokiji, even though she felt threatened by the approaching ice wave.
With a vigorous swing, her long sword erupted into fiery flames, transforming the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
The flame temperature is extremely high, distorting the air.
The oncoming ice was instantly evaporated by the flames, creating massive clouds of steam that enveloped everything around.
Big Mom, countering Aokiji's attack, showed a crazy smile.
She employed Observation Haki to track Aokiji, and then directed her thunder homie, Zeus, into the dark clouds in the sky, causing the dark clouds to instantly roll and surge.
Boom!
A deafening sound echoed across the island.
They saw dark clouds gathering, with purple thunder and lightning swirling, as if a devastating strike could occur at any moment.
"What kind of abilities does Big Mom have? She can overpower Admiral Aokiji with her extraordinary physical strength, control flames, and command lightning?"
"It's really strange. Can one person possess multiple abilities like that?"
Nami was surprised.
"I'm not sure either"
Sanji shook his head, then looked at Hancock on the side.
"This empress is not very clear either, I only know that Big Mom's ability is related to the soul"
Hancock said, pondering what to say for a moment.
"Soul?"
The crowd listened with puzzled expressions.
"Aokiji, die for me!"
Big Mom laughed wickedly and swung her arms down with force, and the purple lighting in the cloud also descent toward Aokiji
The purple lightning descended with tremendous force, as if it aimed to defeat the opponent in a single strike.
"It's really difficult!"
Aokiji admitted, realizing he was being overwhelmed by Big Mom's power.
From the start of our close-quarters battle to this ability confrontation, it seems that he is falling a bit behind Big Mom.
But he was not too disappointed.
His devil fruit ability surged, and a terrifying chill ascended into the sky, freezing even the dark clouds above.
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji said in a low voice.
As his palms opened, the ice transformed into massive waves, surging in all directions.
At this moment
The sky, dark clouds, part of the islands, and the sea….
Everything that eyes can see becomes a frozen object.
The lightning that fell from the sky was also blocked by a thick layer of ice and could not cause any damage to Aokiji.
Confronting Big Mom's relentless attacks.
Aokiji finally showed the true power of Admiral!
.

TO BE CONTINUE
Note: that's some crazy level power clash!
