On the other side, in the area where Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom were.
Crack, crack, crack.
A broad, massive body descended from the sky without warning and smashed a deep crater into the ground.
Big Mom froze for a moment, then turned her head to look.
Within the smoke and dust, a burly man with a tiger’s back and bear’s waist could be faintly seen.
“How did you break free, you bastard?” Big Mom locked her eyes firmly on the chains that had been binding Kaido of the Beasts.
They had actually been shattered, and the chains thicker than a human body had turned into countless fragments.
Just how great was this monster’s strength?
“Old witch, today is your end.” Kaido of the Beasts’ eyes flickered with the light of battlelust.
His muscular iron fist was covered in Armament Haki, and an invincible momentum whistled out from him.
“You think I’m afraid of you?” Big Mom’s face also twisted with savage flesh, and cold air spilled from her mouth.
“If I could catch you once, twice, then I can catch you a third time too.” Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Two fierce auras collided, causing the air to explode with crackling sounds.
Looking up, the force of their presence had torn open the sky as well, and the ground beneath their feet split apart completely.
In short, everything around the two of them was destroyed.
Even the pirates fighting nearby were directly knocked unconscious by the impact.
“What terrifying pressure.
A collision of Conqueror’s Haki?
Interesting.” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts both froze and looked toward the source of the voice.
A silver-haired young man was walking over gracefully, his steps elegant, his handsome face curved into a brilliant smile.
Facing the clash between two peerless powerhouses, Sylvan remained calm and unafraid, so composed it was almost frightening.
“Brat!” As the saying went, enemies saw red when they met.
After spotting Sylvan, all of Big Mom’s vicious aura rushed toward the young man’s slender body.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The pressure of Conqueror’s Haki was like Mount Tai crashing down, smashing straight onto Sylvan’s head and assaulting his soul.
An ordinary person would have already submitted, but the young man’s gaze was sharp as a torch, filled with a cold light that could cut through every obstacle.
After reaching this point, how could Sylvan possibly be scared off by mere Conqueror’s Haki?
What a joke!
“You’re attacking my vice captain.
Did you get my permission?” Kaido of the Beasts roared across the world like the king of all beasts.
Visible ripples spread through the air as his barrel-like right fist blasted out, carrying world-destroying might toward Big Mom.
Seeing this, Big Mom’s ferocity also erupted.
Her world-destroying fist similarly punched out.
“You think I’m afraid of you?” Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The instant their fists collided, it was as if doomsday had descended.
The sound of the impact was like the heavens collapsing.
A shockwave swept across the world, shaking the air until it shattered apart.
Forget other people.
Even Sylvan was almost blown away by the impact.
Crack.
The island, which had already been split into two broken halves, suffered even worse damage from the battle between the two of them.
Another gigantic crack appeared.
A perfectly good Whole Cake Island had completely collapsed within an hour.
“Keh heh… Strongest in a one-on-one fight?
So what?
If you want to kill me, you’re still far from enough.” Big Mom’s tone carried disdain.
She did not think she was inferior to Kaido of the Beasts.
“If he isn’t enough, then what if you add me?” From above her head, a bone-chilling, ghostly voice suddenly came.
Big Mom’s heart jumped for no reason, and she shouted without hesitation, “Armament Hardening!” In the blink of an eye, Big Mom’s entire body turned pitch-black, as if a layer of ink had been poured over her.
“Wood Release: Hotei Technique.” A gigantic wooden palm descended from the sky, its fingers curling into a fist.
The giant fist smashed into Big Mom’s head, and the old witch’s face turned as pale as paper as her body was directly punched underground.
Pfft… Even with Armament Haki as defense, Big Mom still spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
Stars flashed before her eyes, and she could no longer tell east from west, north from south.
This punch was too powerful, especially since the part it struck was her head.
Big Mom lost her sense of direction, and her mind went completely blank.
“Brat!” After losing focus for a few brief seconds, Big Mom abruptly opened her eyes.
Both of them had turned blood-red.
Unfortunately, before Big Mom could retaliate, an incomparably terrifying black iron fist smashed toward her face.
“Then I won’t be polite.” Kaido of the Beasts’ eyes also shot out a terrifying light.
He seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and punched Big Mom directly in the face.
Bang!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Big Mom, who had been standing there, vanished on the spot.
A few hundred meters away, a continuous series of booming sounds rang out.
Big Mom’s body had been blasted hundreds of meters away by Kaido’s punch.
Her body nearly fell apart as she collapsed motionlessly beneath the ruins.
“Hahaha, I finally got revenge!
Beautifully done, Sylvan.” Kaido of the Beasts laughed heartily, looking so delighted that exaggerated tears even shot from his eyes.
“When will you finally grow up, you idiot?” Sylvan was speechless.
He was a great pirate famous throughout the world, yet he cried the moment he felt like it.
Where was his dignity?
“You two bastards sure know how to play!” Big Mom’s stamina, defense, and recovery power were all extremely formidable.
She quickly crawled out of the ruins, her eyes glowing with a vicious light as if she wanted to devour someone alive.
After taking Kaido’s punch, she had only suffered some nosebleed.
There was no serious damage.
“The future Four Emperors who reign over the world really are all monsters.
Their combat power is astonishing enough, but their ability to take a beating is even more unmatched.” Sylvan’s expression remained normal.
He was not surprised.
How could Big Mom possibly be defeated by two punches?
Battles between top-tier powerhouses usually lasted for days at a time.
Whoever exhausted the other first would win.
It was just like the battle between Aokiji and Akainu for the position of Fleet Admiral, which had lasted a full ten days.
“Sylvan, I’ll handle the frontal attack.
You seize the chance to sneak attack this damn hag.” Kaido of the Beasts let out a long roar, kicking up clouds of dust as he charged forward.
When he ran, the ground trembled again and again beneath him.
Kaido of the Beasts was not stupid either.
Sylvan’s attack power was stronger, while he himself was more durable.
He would be responsible for the frontal assault, and Sylvan only had to seize an opening and deliver a fatal blow.
Big Mom would probably fall here today.
“Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!” A large amount of wood drilled out from the ground.
In less than an instant, it expanded across several thousand meters.
In only a few seconds, it created a vast sea of trees.
Countless pieces of wood moved like poisonous snakes, silently watching Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts as they fought.
As soon as she revealed an opening, they would deliver a fatal strike.
