In fact, Kaguya had thought of this a long time ago. However, due to insufficient chakra, she had never been able to achieve it. This reverse space transfer consumed an enormous amount of chakra—so much that even Kaguya's vast chakra reserves struggled to support it.
After all, spatial transfer already consumed a lot of chakra, and transferring everything within an entire space into the real world was nearly impossible.
But things were different now. After obtaining the immense chakra of the Dragon Vein, Kaguya no longer needed to worry about such consumption. Now, Kaguya could not only transfer people and objects into the space of Amenominaka but also reverse-transfer that space into the real world.
And the space transferred into the real world was under Kaguya's control. It was somewhat like corroding the inherent boundaries of the real world.
The scorching magma surged like turbulent waves, roaring as it swept toward Aokiji!
Aokiji's eyes narrowed. He stomped the ground and quickly retreated. In such a searing environment, his freezing abilities were significantly weakened, making it hard to perform at his usual level.
"If all you do is run for your life, you'll never achieve final victory," Kaguya said with a sneer. As she spoke, she raised her fair arm and waved it casually. The blazing magma instantly surged up, transforming into a sea of flames like a thunderous tsunami, crashing toward Aokiji!
Everyone present was shocked, their eyes wide in astonishment. Wasn't this Admiral Sakazuki's ability? How did it end up in Kaguya's hands?
Could it be, like Blackbeard, Kaguya had taken Admiral Sakazuki's Devil Fruit ability?
Garp, who was fighting Kaido, happened to glance over and was utterly stunned. "What's going on? How can she use Akainu's ability?"
At that moment, a massive fist came tearing through the air, smashing down on him!
"Watch out!"
Damn it!
Garp was startled. That brief distraction had given Kaido the opening he needed!
It was too late to defend!
Just as he was about to be struck, a golden fist suddenly appeared from behind him, clashing head-on with Kaido's incoming punch!
Boom—!
A deafening rumble echoed as the impact from the clashing fists created a shockwave that howled outward in a violent storm!
Caught off guard, Garp was sent flying by the shockwave. He managed to stabilize himself in the air and landed, sliding more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.
"Damn it, Garp! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Sengoku turned his head and shouted furiously. The one who had saved him at the last second was Sengoku!
"Sorry, I got distracted," Garp scratched his head and grinned.
"At a time like this, you still have the nerve to laugh!" Sengoku roared, then turned to stare intently at the nearby Kaido. In a deep voice, he said, "What's important now is to defeat this guy in front of us!"
Kaido was no stranger to Sengoku and Garp. In fact, due to his peculiar habit of frequently attacking Marine Headquarters alone, they knew his character well and were intimately familiar with his strength.
There was no doubt Kaido was extremely powerful—especially his robust body and incredible regeneration. But in terms of combat strength, he hadn't yet reached the pinnacle, and Sengoku and Garp together could suppress him easily.
However, this time, when they clashed with Kaido again, they discovered he was completely different from before. His strength had significantly increased. Whether in power, speed, or reflexes, he was now leagues above his previous self.
Previously, Sengoku and Garp could easily suppress Kaido, but now they were shocked to find that they could barely hold him back. On several occasions, the rampaging Kaido had even pushed them into dangerous situations—something that was rarely seen before.
Kaido clenched his fists and let out a furious roar toward the sky. A faint blue aura began to swirl around his body, and an invisible force surged forth like a tsunami!
"Something's not right!" Sengoku's heart sank. "Kaido's strength is increasing—it's noticeably stronger than before!"
Garp was taken aback by his words. He pondered for a moment, and his heart also sank. Thanks to Sengoku's reminder, he realized it too—Kaido's power was indeed growing, and his aura was wilder than ever. What was going on?
Before they could dwell on it further, Kaido roared and stomped his foot, shattering the ground as he shot toward them like a cannonball!
Sengoku and Garp exchanged a glance, then charged forward together…
Kaido leapt high into the air, his muscular arms bulging as he raised them overhead. His fists clenched and swelled slightly, tinged with a faint blue aura, and he hurled a thunderous punch down!
Sengoku transformed into his golden Buddha form, his fists wrapped in golden light, while Garp's fists were coated in pitch-black Armament Haki. Both struck forward, their fists clashing head-on with Kaido's!
Boom—!
A deafening crash erupted as a violent shockwave rippled outward, flattening everything in its path with overwhelming force. The ground shattered, rocks exploded into fragments, and fierce winds howled across the battlefield, sending unsuspecting marines flying amid shrill screams!
But what shocked everyone was that this time, it wasn't Kaido who was blown back—it was Garp and Sengoku!
Garp and Sengoku were hurled away as if hit by a speeding train. They crashed through several ruined buildings before slamming into a protruding rock formation with a thunderous impact. Debris flew as the rock crumbled into pieces!
What… how is this possible?!
The navy soldiers were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.
They didn't see it wrong, did they?
Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp had actually been knocked away by Kaido!
Wiping the blood from the corners of their mouths, Sengoku and Garp stood up from the rubble, their hearts filled with shock as they looked at the rampaging Kaido in the distance.
Their earlier intuition was right—Kaido's strength was growing at an unbelievable rate. It was completely beyond their expectations. They had never encountered anything so bizarre.
At that moment, they suddenly became aware of something and simultaneously looked toward the silver-haired girl fighting Aokiji in the distance.
Could it be her?!
That's right—this was the Eight Gates Released Formation!
The Eight Gates technique is an advanced form of taijutsu from the Naruto world. It removes the body's natural limitations on chakra, allowing excessive energy to be released.
Within the chakra circulatory system, there are eight points that suppress and control the body's chakra: the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death.
These eight gates place a limit on the body's chakra flow. However, the Eight Gates technique forcibly surpasses this restriction, unleashing power tens of times greater than normal.
But with that power comes severe damage to the user's body, which is why the technique is considered forbidden.
Normally, those brought back through Edo Tensei cannot use the Eight Gates, as the technique requires a living body with functioning chakra pathways to explosively release energy—something Edo Tensei bodies lack.
However, Kaido's case was different. His body was specially created by Kaguya using Yin-Yang Release, possessing a constitution no different from that of a living person. It was not made from living humans or White Zetsu clones.
Furthermore, Kaguya had infused Kaido's body with chakra. This gave him both a physical body and a vast amount of chakra. Empowered by chakra, Kaido's strength had skyrocketed, far surpassing his former self—as shown by how Sengoku and Garp struggled under his relentless attacks.
In truth, this was merely something Kaguya had created out of boredom to pass the time. But judging by the results, this body modification experiment had turned out quite well.
Roar—!
Kaido clenched his arms and let out a deafening roar. Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body like a tsunami, sweeping outward in all directions. The sheer ferocity and brutality of it stunned everyone present.
"Sengoku—" Garp clenched his fists, his eyes sharp like a hawk's, a glint flashing through them.
Sengoku's gaze remained fixed on Kaido. He raised his muscular arm, his fist enveloped in shockwaves. An invisible aura radiated from his body. Having partnered with Garp for years, he immediately understood his intent.
"Go!"
As soon as the word left his mouth, Garp and Sengoku stomped the ground. The earth cracked beneath them as they launched forward like arrows shot from a bow. In an instant, they reached Kaido. Arms raised, fists clenched and wrapped in Armament Haki, they both struck out powerfully!
"Meteor Fist!"
"Shockwave!"
Seeing Garp and Sengoku's attacks so close, a glint of ferocity flashed through the bloodshot eyes of Kaido. He let out a loud roar, his arms suddenly swelling. A blue aura burst from his body, and then—he made a strange hand sign, intertwining his fingers.
Garp and Sengoku exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and accelerated further!
At that moment, Kaido suddenly raised his head, red light flashing in his eyes. He shouted in a low voice, "Daytime Tiger!"
As soon as he spoke, a massive gust of air burst forth, forming a vicious tiger in midair. With its maw wide open, it clashed violently with the incoming fists!
Boom—!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment before a deafening explosion shattered the sky. The impact from the collision unleashed a shockwave that swept across the battlefield. The ground crumbled, rocks exploded, and the earth was torn apart like a plowed field. Dirt and stones flew, and the fierce winds shredded everything in their path!
Everyone stared into the distance, dumbfounded, mouths agape and unable to close for a long while. Even the Marine Admirals in the midst of battle paused briefly, casting uncertain and astonished glances toward the source of that overwhelming power. Despite the distance, they could feel the immense energy it contained.
Who would win in the end?
To everyone's surprise, it was Kaido who had been sent flying. He was hurled backward as if struck by a train, his robust body covered in mottled wounds, many of them deep enough to reveal bone. Most shocking was the gaping hole through his right shoulder that nearly tore his entire body apart—his right arm was nowhere to be seen!
Boom—!
Kaido crashed down like a meteor, slamming heavily into the ground. The already ravaged earth caved in under the impact, forming a large crater. Crimson blood splattered in an instant!
Garp and Sengoku landed from the air, their faces flushed red and chests heaving violently as they gasped for breath, drenched in sweat.
They were not unscathed either. Their uniforms were tattered, hanging off them like rags. Their muscular bodies were covered in bloody wounds, and their stamina was almost completely spent—they were clearly on the verge of exhaustion.
Though they had mentally prepared for it, Kaido's strength still exceeded their expectations. If they hadn't gone all out just now, they might not have brought him down.
"We did it! Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Hero Garp are victorious!"
"As expected of the Navy's top two powerhouses!"
"Even Kaido can't take on both of them at once!"
"Teach that guy a hard lesson!"
"Long live Sengoku! Long live Garp!"
The Navy soldiers cheered excitedly, waving their weapons in celebration, their joy plain to see.
At that moment, as if hearing the distant cheers, Kaguya—still battling Aokiji—paused and turned to look in the direction of the commotion. The corner of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
"Such naive people. That's my beloved toy—how could he be defeated so easily? The real show is just beginning."
Meanwhile, Aokiji finally caught a moment to breathe. He panted heavily, drenched in sweat—an extremely rare sight for someone with the Ice-Ice Fruit.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Aokiji stared intently at Kaguya. Her power had far surpassed his expectations. Though they had fought several times before, he now realized he had completely underestimated her. She had been hiding her strength all along.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Aokiji asked in a low voice.
"What am I trying to do?" Kaguya turned around, the corner of her mouth lifting in amusement. "Don't you think this is… fun?"
