Day One.
The battle was pure, savage, a collision of raw strength and overwhelming Haki.
Charlotte Linlin abandoned all unnecessary technique. Wielding her Sword blazing with fire, every swing of her blade could cleave a mountain in half.
Kaido, in his hybrid form, held the kanabo Hassaikai. Every strike carrying peak-level Haoshoku Haki tore open the earth and made the entire island tremble.
"Heavenly Fire!"
"Conquerer of Three Worlds Ragnaraku!"
Flames and lightning ravaged the skies above the island. Each clash of fist and foot created visible shockwaves, flattening forests for kilometers.
The beasts on the island couldn't even cry out under the weight of their godlike aura, they simply turned to dust.
By the end of the first day, the entire island had lost every trace of green.
…
Day Two.
The battle reached its peak, and both sides unleashed their Devil Fruit powers without restraint.
Charlotte Linlin became the true Queen of Souls.
She granted souls to mountains, rivers, even clouds, turning them into colossal Homie giants attacking Kaido from all directions.
For a moment, the whole island seemed alive, transformed into her army, her domain.
Faced with an endless army of Homies, Kaido roared toward the heavens and once again transformed into a colossal azure dragon that blotted out the sky.
"Boro Breath!!!"
A beam of destruction hot enough to melt steel blasted across the island. Mountain Homies evaporated instantly. River Homies were burned dry. Even cloud Homies were scattered by the intense heat.
Perched high above, Kaido summoned wind and rain, unleashing massive blades of wind and thunderbolts upon the ground.
By the end of the second day, the island's entire landscape had changed, enormous craters, molten rock, and dried riverbeds covered the land.
…....
Day Three.
The fight had become a pure contest of will.
Both Yonko were injured, stamina nearly drained, yet the fire in their eyes had not dimmed.
They stripped back all techniques and returned to raw, brutal hand-to-hand combat.
You punch me, I punch you.
You headbutt me, I suplex you.
They fought from the east end to the west, from the magma layer beneath the island to ten thousand meters in the sky.
The island's very foundation, after three days and nights of relentless devastation, was reaching its absolute limit.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
With a final earth-shattering collision, the ground beneath them let out a mournful crack.
Gigantic fissures spread from their feet, webbing across the entire island.
Crack… crack-crack-crack…
The tectonic plate beneath the island broke.
The two pirate crews watching from the sea stared in stunned horror.
"No… no way…"
"Th-The island… it's going to sink!!!"
Before their terrified eyes, the island that had borne three days of Yonko fury finally convulsed violently, and then, inevitably, began sinking into the deep sea.
Sea water surged in, forming massive whirlpools and towering tsunamis.
And amid this collapsing world, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were still clutching each other, floating on the waves, ready to continue their battle.
"Enough! Mama!"
"Kaido-sama! Please stop!"
Two figures shot into the battlefield like lightning.
Katakuri and King.
They stood on either side, blocking their respective captains.
"Mama, you should have vented enough of your anger by now," Katakuri said in his utterly calm voice. "There's no meaning in continuing."
"Wororororo… King, you dare block me?" Kaido growled.
"Kaido-sama," King bowed slightly, but his tone was unshakeable.
"This battle has already shown the world your strength. But our goal is not to settle a score with the Big Mom Pirates here."
The last remnants of the island vanished beneath the sea, leaving only a giant whirlpool spewing bubbles.
Charlotte Linlin looked at Kaido. After three days of venting, most of her fury had indeed burned out. Her reason slowly returned.
She knew the one she truly hated wasn't this drunken oaf.
It was that lazy bastard far away at G-5, probably napping peacefully on a beach right now.
"Hmph!"
Releasing Kaido's, she let out a sharp snort.
"That's enough for now! Kaido, we'll settle our accounts later!"
The sea breeze swept across the New World, a sea that had just survived a cataclysm.
The giant whirlpool spun like a scar, silently recounting the battle that had taken place.
The Beasts Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates faced each other at a distance across the water, the air thick with tension.
Each side's officers kept a close eye on their captains, terrified that the two monsters might start brawling again at any moment.
Thankfully, the worst didn't happen.
Three full days of combat had drained their strength and vented their rage to the fullest.
Kaido, back in human form, was covered in sword wounds and burn marks, but he paid them no mind, gulping down alcohol straight from the bottle.
Charlotte Linlin looked equally battered, her beloved Napoleon's hat missing a chunk, her glamorous dress torn, chest heaving with exhausted breaths.
"Worororororo…"
The silence broke with Kaido's rough, hoarse laughter.
Wiping the alcohol from his mouth, he glanced at Charlotte Linlin. This time, his voice carried not just mockery, but seriousness.
"Linlin… now that we're done fighting, you can tell me."
"That Marine brat named Renzo… is he really as terrifying as the newspapers say?"
