Kaido's furious gaze turned sharp and savage, his bared fangs and crazed expression etched deeply onto his face.
What does a truly enraged beast look like?
Just look at Kaido.
Hearing Ghidorah's words, Kaido, in his azure dragon form, exhaled scalding white steam like a furnace.
"Good. You've officially pissed me off!"
The sheer disdain and mockery in Ghidorah's tone had crossed the line—Kaido could no longer endure it. His eyes gleamed crimson as he twisted his massive form and lunged straight at Ghidorah.
"A melee charge?"
Ghidorah's expression remained unchanged, his gaze filled with nothing but contempt as he watched Kaido barrel toward him.
He didn't know who exactly had created the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit, but he was certain—its origin must have come from him. After all, only he had ever spoken of the legend: "A carp leaping over the Dragon Gate."
The mighty, hundred-meter-long azure dragon twisted with rage. Beneath that fearsome grin was a torrent of wrath, and with it came an overwhelming pressure that bore down on the island below.
At the same time, Kaido's massive dragon head smashed directly into Ghidorah's chest.
BOOM!!
Hard. No flesh cushion. As unyielding as steel.
That was Kaido's first impression—followed immediately by searing pain shooting from his skull down to every nerve in his body.
"Kaido!"
Struck in the chest, Ghidorah roared in fury. His enormous wings—sharp and vast like giant blades—swept out in a storming arc toward Kaido.
Seeing those wings, even Kaido—who claimed to be the strongest creature on land, sea, and air—felt a chill in his soul.
His thoughts raced:
That thing might actually swat me to death…
Sure, Kaido was always acting suicidal, but that was only because he knew he couldn't die. He was flexing from a place of invincibility.
But now, faced with this monstrous set of wings blotting out the sky, he didn't dare hesitate. Twisting his serpentine body like a writhing flood dragon, he narrowly evaded the strike.
BOOM!!
Kaido dodged the blow—but the gale stirred by those mighty wings swept directly toward Onigashima.
The Beasts Pirates below weren't so lucky.
A massive storm engulfed the island. Buildings crumbled. Grunts were sent flying like leaves in a hurricane, screaming in chaos as they whirled through the air.
"AAAAAAHHH!!"
"Help us, Lord Kaido!"
"Guh—ack—blargh!!"
"..."
Amid the cacophony of shrieks, Onigashima looked like the end of the world had arrived.
The pirates who hadn't been blown away clung desperately to whatever they could grab.
Despair and terror filled their eyes as they looked up at the two monstrous titans above, wishing they could just dig a hole and hide underground.
Kaido stared at the island ravaged by the storm.
Years of planning and preparation—about to be destroyed in an instant.
His fury boiled over.
Mouth open, Kaido let out a low, guttural growl:
"Hurururu…"
"You've completely enraged me now. I'll show you what it means to anger an Emperor of the Sea!"
Zzzzzzt...
As his energy built, a searing red sphere began to form in Kaido's mouth.
"WAAAHH!!"
"NOOO! Lord Kaido, we're still down here!!"
"RUN! He's losing it again!"
The pirates below who hadn't been blown away screamed in horror at the forming red energy above.
That earlier gust had nearly killed them already. If Kaido unleashed his heat breath again, there might not even be dust left of Onigashima.
As cries of despair rose from the ground, the sky responded—
BOOOOOOM!
The already-dark sky began to churn with thunderclouds, rolling violently. Golden lightning crisscrossed the heavens, and wild winds tore across the island.
Above Onigashima, light and shadow danced in chaotic contrast.
Suddenly, a bolt of golden lightning pierced through the clouds, illuminating the entire island as it struck down onto Ghidorah.
With that single strike, a downpour of blinding, golden bolts followed—like a rain of divine punishment—connecting the three-headed golden beast with the storm above.
The sight left the pirates below utterly dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, Ghidorah's scales pulsed with red light from within, his body glowing like a paper lantern set ablaze from the inside.
Under the deafening roar of thunder, voices filled with awe and dread rang out:
"Th-This is the move… The one that destroyed the Holy Land?!"
"We're doomed! Onigashima is finished!!"
Far away, having already escaped, King looked back at the beast—Ghidorah, now glowing like a god of storms—and then to Kaido gathering energy.
His heart was flooded with mixed emotions.
He knew he was powerless to intervene in a clash like this.
But Kaido had once saved his life—just standing by and watching felt unbearable.
"AAAAAAHHH!!"
Just then, Queen woke up on the ground beside him. The sight of the sky made his eyes bulge and tongue flail in panic.
Golden lightning rained down, illuminating the entire island.
Amid the thunder's roar, Kaido's cold and furious voice thundered across the heavens:
"Bolo Breath!!"
A column of scorching red flame erupted from his mouth. The blazing heat warped the very air around it.
Like a crashing tidal wave of fire, it surged toward Ghidorah with unstoppable force, ready to incinerate everything in its path.
"VMMM!"
Faced with the raging inferno, Ghidorah's center and right heads opened their jaws—emitting a golden beam of energy. The left head, just a moment behind, followed.
The three beams merged into one, screaming through the sky with a deafening roar to meet Kaido's fire.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Lightning and flame collided—shaking the heavens and the earth.
The two opposing forces clashed violently, their raw energy causing shockwaves and thunderous impact.
Before the onlookers could even react, a crushing, unstoppable pressure descended from above.
The pirates were slammed flat to the ground, gritting their teeth in pain.
"Crack... Crack..."
The skeletal skull structure of Onigashima groaned under the immense strain, echoing with hair-raising creaks.
"H-H-How can this be?!"
Suddenly, someone noticed a terrifying change in the sky and screamed:
"Kaido—Lord Kaido's Bolo Breath—it's…"
"It's being pushed back!!"
In the eyes of all those watching, Kaido's Bolo Breath lasted not even half a second before being overwhelmed.
It wasn't just pushed back—it was obliterated.
Ghidorah's gravitational energy beam surged forward with annihilating force, rushing straight toward Kaido.
Seeing his Bolo Breath crushed, Kaido's eyes widened. His colossal body twisted to evade the golden beam.
But just as his attack ended, the golden ray surged forward like a wild beast let off its leash.
BOOM!!
A massive explosion rang out—blood burst from Kaido's tail like mist.
SPLASH!!
Bright red dragon blood spilled from the sky, falling like rain upon the land of Onigashima.
"ROAAAAAR!!!"
Suddenly, a deafening dragon cry echoed across the island. Kaido's massive dragon form twisted wildly above, roaring in rage.
"Unforgivable!!!"
"You… You actually made me feel fear…"
"I'll KILL you!!!"
