At the same time, on the deck of the warship, Finn and the others were also looking at Kaido's towering figure.
The reason he hadn't killed King directly before was that Finn had wanted to see where he was going.
As a result, this guy seemed somewhat deranged and had actually led the warship straight to Kaido.
At this moment, everyone was on deck and could see Kaido clearly. There was no reason Kaido couldn't see them, right?
But looking more closely, Kaido had his eyes wide open and a spiked club in his hand, as if he were ready for a major brawl, showing no fear whatsoever.
This surprised Finn immensely!
To be honest, with their current lineup, they were more than qualified to fight Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world. If Whitebeard were left alone, they might actually be able to kill him.
Yet this guy Kaido actually looked like he wasn't afraid at all?
"It seems I underestimated Kaido. Has he always been this brave?" Finn couldn't help but ask.
Sakazuki narrowed his eyes. "Does Kaido look down on us?"
"Arrogant!" Gion said viciously, a flash of lightning crackling in her hand.
Garp smiled nonchalantly. "He didn't run away. Isn't that exactly what we wanted? Come to think of it, that guy likes to fight outnumbered... it's not surprising."
"That makes sense," Finn nodded.
In his memory, Kaido really did like to fight against superior numbers, like a troublemaker. He'd annoyed Newgate constantly and harassed the Marines from time to time.
It was just that in recent years, he'd become much quieter.
But Finn hadn't taken this seriously before. He'd simply thought Kaido was establishing himself as a brute to confuse the public.
But now it seemed he'd misunderstood him. This guy really was reckless!
Finn was still secretly admiring Kaido's courage, completely unaware that Kaido was now determined to tear King apart.
The closer the warship got, the more uneasy Kaido felt.
I might be in serious trouble this time. It's been almost ten years since I was last caught by the Marines, right?
It hadn't been a big deal before, but now his business had just started. If he got caught now, the loss would be enormous.
But it was too late to run.
Seeing the warship drawing closer and closer, Kaido, after all, was one of the world's strongest people. He was extremely determined and no longer hesitated. He gripped the spiked club in his hand, wrapped it with Haki, and struck out through the air.
"Kaifu!" Kaido roared.
A fierce gust of wind erupted from the spiked club, directly tearing the cloud-like white sea surface apart and crashing toward the warship.
However, Finn and the others didn't immediately take action, but instead stood on the deck in a daze.
When the violent wind was about to hit the warship, Sakazuki couldn't stand it anymore. He roared and punched out. A stream of boiling magma instantly burst from his arm, transforming into a giant's limb and grabbing the wind. With a crushing motion, he directly dispersed it.
Although these two men seemed to be attacking with great momentum, they were actually just probing strikes that didn't contain much real power.
After Sakazuki finished his move, he looked at Finn and the others. "What are you all doing?"
Finn touched his nose somewhat sheepishly. "I thought Vice Admiral Garp would take action."
Garp was stunned for a moment after hearing this. "I thought Gion would take action."
Gion was also confused for a moment. After brief hesitation, she said, "I thought you, Sakazuki, would take action."
Are you all playing matryoshka dolls with me here?
So if I hadn't taken action, this warship would have been sunk by Kaido?
Where's the coordination between our Marines?
But he didn't pursue it too much. Sakazuki snorted in dissatisfaction and looked at Kaido.
Fine. Since everyone wants me to make the first move, then I'll go first!
Sakazuki was basically a hot-tempered person. When he saw Kaido, he naturally wouldn't wait any longer. He'd just attack!
So without thinking much, he stomped the deck hard, and his figure exploded toward Kaido like a cannonball.
However, what was somewhat embarrassing was that Finn, Garp, and Gion all felt a bit awkward for not taking action immediately. Therefore, they all thought the same thing: they wanted to act quickly to deal with Kaido as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
So when Sakazuki rushed out, he discovered that Finn, Gion, and Garp had also charged forward.
For a moment, the four of them looked at each other mid-air, their expressions becoming even more awkward.
No coordination at all!
But now that things had come to this, they'd all work together!
On the other side, Kaido was also confused.
He'd just said hello and hadn't even spoken a single harsh word. Why were these Marines suddenly rushing out like they'd been injected with adrenaline!?
But at this moment, Kaido had no time to think too much, and he didn't dare be arrogant anymore.
Kaido roared. His already powerful body became even more savage. Dragon scales grew densely across his body, obviously greatly increasing his defense. He directly entered his Dragon-Man hybrid form!
But the next moment, powerful gravity enveloped him, causing his smooth movements to pause slightly.
And during that brief pause, two bolts of lightning flashed and struck directly at his eyes.
Kaido's reaction speed wasn't slow either. The lightning was too fast. Pressed down by gravity and somewhat unable to dodge, he still jerked his head down sharply and avoided being hit in the eyes. The lightning exploded directly on his horn, leaving him unharmed!
However, this attack and dodge cost Kaido the initiative. Before he could make his move, Sakazuki's scorching magma had already struck his chest.
"Great Eruption!" Sakazuki roared.
His fist suddenly swelled up, becoming larger than Kaido in one breath. The scorching magma plastered itself across Kaido's face and completely engulfed him.
Kaido couldn't withstand the impact of the volcanic eruption and was directly blown back by Sakazuki's punch. The burning magma carried Kaido along, exploding like fireworks along the way. The scene was extremely spectacular.
But Kaido was thick-skinned and durable, so he wasn't seriously injured. He withstood the force and slid back more than a hundred meters before he could stand firm.
However, he'd just barely stabilized and hadn't had time to wipe off the hot magma Sakazuki had plastered across his face when he instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
The next moment, Garp swung a fist into the bridge of his nose, knocking Kaido down on the spot and instantly slamming him into the ground, creating a massive cracked crater.
After just one exchange, Kaido hadn't even had a chance to fight back before he was pinned to the ground and beaten violently by the four Marine masters!
King, whose sword was only halfway out of its scabbard, was dumbfounded.
He'd followed Kaido for several years and had never seen Kaido so miserable. He couldn't even fight back?
Just as King was surprised by this, a flash of lightning streaked past him. King came to his senses and tried to draw the long sword in his hand to block, but it was too late.
"You're very brave to be distracted in a battle of this level..." Gion's words fell into his ears.
The next second, he felt pain in his waist and abdomen. He saw Gion's long white leg, crackling with lightning, sweeping out and kicking King in the side.
Then, violent thunder and lightning power erupted. In the blink of an eye, it completely engulfed King, and then, along with the lightning, blasted him into the distance.
Gion kicked King away but didn't chase him. After all, Kaido was the main event. What was King compared to that?
There weren't many opportunities to gang up on Kaido. You might not encounter one for several years. She wasn't interested in getting entangled with small fry!
At that moment, a stream of scorching heat suddenly exploded from where Kaido had fallen, forcing Garp, who was about to throw another punch, to retreat.
"It's Bolo Breath, Kaido's ability!" Garp said knowledgeably.
He wasn't wrong. This was Kaido's Blast Breath. Shouldn't it be considered dragon's breath?
Exhaling a stream of burning air, Kaido finally bought himself some time. He climbed out of the deep crater very nimbly, gripping his spiked club, with his Observation Haki fully activated, looking extremely alert.
However, his nose was slightly crooked, and blood was flowing from his nostrils. Clearly, Garp's punch had broken through his defense!
But even so, you could see how abnormal this guy's physique was. If an ordinary person had been attacked by the four of them together, they'd probably be dead, but Kaido looked like he was fine?
But this was just appearance. In fact, Kaido's heart was already very heavy. Even though they'd only fought for a moment, he could tell there was no way he could win!
Damn it. Who could possibly win this fight?
At this moment, Kaido was already thinking about how to escape with his dignity intact.
"Oh, the strongest creature? This physique is indeed well-deserved..." Finn touched Shindokutō at his waist and praised with a slightly admiring tone.
Garp cracked his knuckles. "Perfect for me to practice on!"
Sakazuki and Gion didn't say anything, but at this moment the four of them had surrounded Kaido from four directions.
Kaido, gripping his spiked club, finally looked at Finn. "From the beginning, you were coming for me?"
"Maybe," Finn smiled, not explaining anything.
The moment he finished speaking, Shindokutō hanging at his waist was unsheathed. A cold gleam flashed, and a gloomy, evil, and obscure aura instantly burst forth.
Kaido was obviously stunned for a moment.
Good grief. You're supposed to be a Marine Admiral who claims justice?
It would be a disservice to your temperament if you didn't become a pirate!
"Gravity Blade: Tiger Kill!" Finn growled.
He slashed at Kaido with his sword!
A solemn look flashed across Kaido's eyes. The spiked club in his hand brought forth powerful Haki. Just as he was about to block Finn's attack, Gion extended a finger, pointed it at Kaido, and shouted, "Pierce him, Thunder Falcon!"
Faster than the sound of her words, by the time Kaido heard her voice, the thunderbird formed by the powerful energy of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was already in front of his face.
With a crackling explosion, Kaido's head snapped back, and a large amount of black smoke covered his face.
Then, Finn's gravity blade directly enveloped Kaido, pressing his massive body backward and sweeping him away.
"Meteor Volcano!" Sakazuki was behind Kaido, countering Finn's gravity. As he punched out, the scorching heat seemed to turn the ground into scorched earth. It struck Kaido's back. The violent magma, with the impact of a volcanic eruption, forcibly "helped" Kaido resist the gravity. Of course, the medium was Kaido's body.
"Blue Hole!" Garp also shouted and threw a punch.
What was surprising was that when Garp threw his punch, Kaido suddenly raised his spiked club, wrapped in Haki, and accurately blocked Garp's strike.
However, the powerful explosive force still knocked him away.
This time, Kaido didn't fall down. He staggered a few steps and stood firmly on the ground. However, the intensive offensive from the Marines didn't give him any chance to catch his breath.
Kaido had just barely stabilized when Finn descended from the sky. Powerful Haki was wrapped around Shindokutō, and a faint purple glow emanated from it.
"Gravity Blade: World Splitter!" Finn roared.
At this moment, Kaido couldn't hold back any longer. He'd never felt so aggrieved before!
With a dragon's roar, an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki burst from Kaido's body. Then, with his movements, it condensed into the spiked club in his hand and struck toward Finn's Shindokutō in one blow.
"Thunder Bagua!" Kaido shouted furiously.
