With a piercing tearing sound, a laser that had been trying to circle around and flank him was ripped apart without mercy, scattering into countless points of light before fading into the air.
"Hmph. You call this embarrassing little tickle an attack?
"If this is all you've got, then quit while you're ahead! Come on, show me something that can actually get me interested!"
Kaido's voice boomed across the vast sky like a great bell, full of contempt and provocation.
High above, Uranus seemed to sense the mockery from below, its majesty deeply offended.
In an instant, a flare of anger flashed across it, and it reacted at once.
It drew upon its terrifying energy reserves, and dozens of scorching lasers fired from every direction at the same time, like a pack of savage dragons lunging at Kaido with bared fangs and claws.
Those beams of death twisted and wove together, forming an airtight net that sealed off every possible escape route.
It looked as though Kaido had been forced into a dead end.
Yet faced with such a fierce attack, Kaido showed no intention of retreating.
He lifted his head proudly and let out a thunderous laugh.
"Good! If you're that eager to throw yourselves at me, I'll grant your wish!"
With that, his enormous dragon body coiled with surprising agility, taking on an unshakable defensive stance.
At that moment, he gave off a chilling presence, like a towering mountain that would not move no matter how violently the storm beat against it.
Kaido slowly closed his eyes and began gathering the power within him.
Deep inside his body, three ancient and mysterious forces gradually awakened and merged together.
There was the dragon breath born from his ancient bloodline, a power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
There was his natural Conqueror's Haki, surging like a raging tide, powerful enough to dominate all things.
And there was the unique energy forged from his unyielding will, tempered through countless battles.
The three powers rushed through his veins and gathered into a force stronger than anything before.
Just as the dense net of lasers was about to strike him, Kaido's eyes snapped open, two terrifying rays of light bursting from them.
He raised his head and roared,
"Hakai: Dragon's Wrath!"
With that roar, a terrifying black-red torrent of energy erupted from his body like an ancient beast breaking free of its chains.
The torrent surged forward with mountain-crushing force and slammed into the seemingly flawless laser net.
The two forces collided in midair.
In an instant, it was as if the sky collapsed and the earth split apart.
The sun and moon seemed to lose their light.
The shockwave from the explosion swept across the entire sky like a hurricane, tearing the surrounding clouds to shreds.
The heavens were dyed in chaotic colors by the breathtaking sight, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Under that tense, killing-filled sky, a wild and mocking shout suddenly rang out.
"Mamamama! Kaido, you brat, don't think you can steal all the spotlight!"
The voice belonged to none other than the fearsome Big Mom.
A savage smile slowly spread across her scorched-black face, chilling enough to pierce the soul.
At that moment, her massive body moved with agility far beyond what anyone could have imagined.
With a sharp rush of wind, she launched into the air and landed firmly on Zeus, the thundercloud surging with endless energy beneath her feet.
Her iconic pink hair danced wildly in the raging energy storm, every strand twisting violently with the airflow as if it had been given life, declaring her power and majesty to the entire world.
In her hand, the legendary sword Napoleon seemed to sense its master's surging battle intent.
In an instant, the blade shone brightly and transformed into a giant war blade dozens of meters long.
Looking closely, one could see greedy ghostly faces faintly appearing across the blade. They bared their teeth and claws, as if starving for battle and blood.
The sword even spoke in a low, feverish voice, as though it had come alive.
"Mama! Let me cut down more lasers!"
"Ikoku Sovereignty!"
Big Mom roared.
The muscles in her arms swelled instantly, veins bulging with overwhelming power.
She gripped the massive sword tightly and swung it with unstoppable force, as if tearing the sky apart.
This strike carried all of her strength, along with endless anger and fighting spirit.
In an instant, a shockwave mixed with roaring thunder and scorching flame surged out.
It rushed forward like a roaring dragon, sweeping ahead with unstoppable momentum.
Its speed was terrifying, and its path was perfectly precise, striking three dark-red lasers coming from the opposite direction.
Those three lasers had been fierce and unstoppable, but before that overwhelming shockwave, they instantly lost their force and were blasted back.
The explosion lit up Big Mom's crazed smile.
"Toy lasers like this aren't even good enough to scratch my itch!"
She suddenly reached out and grabbed a laser that was trying to circle around her.
Zeus immediately poured lightning into it.
"Zeus! Give it a little extra!"
The laser struggled in her grip like a venomous snake, but in the end, she crushed it by force, breaking it apart into countless points of light.
"Mama is amazing!" Napoleon shouted flatteringly, only for Big Mom to slap it backward without even looking.
"Shut up! Can't you see there are still so many left?"
A bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes.
She suddenly tore off a lock of her own hair.
"Soul Pocus!"
The pink strands transformed into tiny Homies, screaming as they rushed toward the swarm of lasers in the sky.
These little things actually opened their mouths and began madly gnawing away at the laser energy.
The tension had reached its peak.
The surrounding air was filled with chaotic energy waves and deafening battle cries, as if the entire world had fallen into endless madness.
At that moment, everyone's attention focused on the two top-level monsters—Kaido and Big Mom.
"Watch closely, Kaido!"
Big Mom's loud, majestic voice rang through the sky like thunder.
Her eyes shone with scorching madness as she raised her giant sword high and pointed it straight at the vast heavens.
The sword was as heavy as a small mountain, its blade carved with mysterious ancient runes and radiating an aura that made the heart tremble.
She tilted her head slightly, the corner of her mouth lifting into a disdainful smile, then roared,
"This is what you call clearing the field!"
As her words fell, she began slowly spinning her mountain-like body.
