Furthermore, a critical point was that with each collision, cold air would penetrate their bodies.
Although the immediate impact was small, it accumulated over time! Gradually, their movements appeared to slow down considerably.
One hour...
Two hours...
Five hours...
"It's time!"
Esdeath looked at the sky, which was gradually turning into night, and swung her weapon, widening the distance between them.
"Linlin!"
Kaido took advantage of the moment to catch his breath; such high-intensity combat, combined with his continuous Dragon-Human form, was taking its toll.
He was starting to feel overwhelmed!
"I know!"
Big Mama's performance was no different!
They had experienced battles of this caliber before, but without exception, they always ended in a contest of Haki and stamina.
And this was truly the first time they felt powerless in that regard!
The Marine Rear Admiral on the other side didn't even seem to be breathing heavily, and her fighting spirit appeared even more intense than when they started.
Her attacks, in fact, became fiercer than before, with gradually increasing force!
What kind of person is this!
The two exchanged glances; they refused to believe this woman truly possessed endless stamina, for they had never lost a battle of endurance!
A short period of recovery brought them back to their peak!
"Truly impressive!"
Issho's Observation Haki had been active since the battle began; he had personally witnessed Esdeath, who was initially evenly matched, gradually begin to suppress the two Four Emperors.
At this rate, it seemed he wouldn't even need to step in to help!
"Shadow Ride Line!"
Meanwhile, Doflamingo, who was off to the side, finally managed to secretly create his decoy puppet.
Five hours, it truly wasn't easy!
Normally, he could create it in an instant, but now, to avoid detection, it had taken him a full five hours to complete.
However, Doflamingo had clearly forgotten someone...
"If you dare to leave, I'll scream loudly and attract their attention!"
Tesoro, seeing Doflamingo create the decoy, immediately threatened him.
He had recovered now, so even if Doflamingo wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be that simple!
"Tesoro!"
It was all his fault for being too focused on the battle, causing him to forget about this guy!
Looking at Tesoro, Doflamingo gnashed his teeth and said, "What do you want to do?"
"It's simple!"
"Since Kaido and Big Mama don't seem to be able to take down that Marine anytime soon, let's go up and help!"
"Otherwise, after the fight is over, they won't let us off the hook!"
Tesoro looked at the three people confronting each other and proposed his idea.
Although facing any one of them alone would result in their defeat, if the two of them teamed up, they could at least hold back one of the Four Emperors.
In other words, the two of them could provide cover for Kaido and Big Mama!
"What do you think? Anyway, I won't let you leave!"
Tesoro chuckled; how could he miss such a good opportunity for revenge?
"Damn it!"
Although he detested being threatened, Doflamingo was tempted by the proposal; this was a rare opportunity.
As long as this Marine Rear Admiral was captured, he wouldn't be so passive!
"Alright then, let's go together!"
After much deliberation, Doflamingo directly agreed to Tesoro's suggestion!
He wiggled a finger; perhaps the two of them could be the straw that broke the camel's back!
"Go!"
Esdeath, at this moment, wasn't paying attention to Doflamingo and Tesoro; instead, she was preparing her carefully crafted domain.
Facing two Four Emperors, even she didn't have the ability to fight while distracted; these were two of the world's top combatants.
"String Bullet!"
"Golden Bomb!"
The two quietly launched a silent attack directly at Esdeath.
Clang!
As Esdeath turned her head to defend, a figure appeared in front of her.
"I can't let you succeed!"
Issho swung his staff-sword, blocking their attacks, and gravity, without warning, pressed down on the two of them.
"I can't let you disturb Marine Rear Admiral Esdeath's battle!"
"This guy!"
Without paying attention, the two were directly crushed to the ground by gravity.
"Thanks, Issho!"
Esdeath gave Issho a smile; she hadn't expected these two stray dogs to dare to ambush her!
"It is my duty. Leave these two to me, Marine Rear Admiral Esdeath, please fight to your heart's content!"
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
He directly pulled the two figures away from the center of the battlefield.
Only now did Kaido and Big Mama realize that there was another master present, and he was on Esdeath's side.
So, this meant that the possibility of their actions succeeding was low!
"Then!"
"Extreme Cold Domain!"
Endless cold air began to gush from Esdeath's body. Hyōrinmaru was plunged into the ground, and ice rapidly spread.
In just a brief moment, it covered the entire Dressrosa!
"Have you accepted death, you two?"
"Don't get ahead of yourself, brat!"
Big Mama's face was ashen as she angrily shouted at the expressionless Esdeath, "This is just the beginning!"
Unable to contain her anger, Big Mama directly manipulated Zeus and Prometheus to merge.
"Heavenly Thunder Flame!"
A bolt of lightning entwined with flames emerged from the clouds, striking directly down!
"Mama Mama, take this!"
The power of two souls merged; let's see how this Marine will block it this time!
"Guard!"
A mirror of ice appeared above Esdeath's head, directly deflecting the Heavenly Thunder Flame!
"Damn it!"
Big Mama snorted coldly when her attack had no effect, and she tightened her grip on Napoleon again.
"Emperor Sword: Napoleon!"
Napoleon, imbued with Haoshoku, was wielded by Big Mama as she charged forward.
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"
Kaido did the same, his Haoshoku wrapped around his Hassaikai club, as he began to furiously attack Esdeath.
"Let me show you something good!"
"Don't die on me!"
The cold air had now filled the entire Dressrosa; normally, using this technique wouldn't be so easy.
But combined with the Devil's Extract, it was clearly much, much easier!
"Thousand-Year Ice Prison!"
Dozens of ice pillars rose from the ground!
They instantly enveloped the two rushing figures, giving them no time to react whatsoever!
Immediately after, terrifying coldness gushed out from the ground and the ice pillars in all directions!
"Lock!"
Hyōrinmaru was thrown by Esdeath and plunged into the top of the Thousand-Year Ice Prison. The tip of Hyōrinmaru also began to spew cold air.
"This is bad..."
Big Mama's eyes widened in shock; frost had already begun to condense on her body, and when she turned to look, Kaido was struggling to break free from the ice on his body.
"Consciousness...!"
In an instant!
Ice filled the entire Thousand-Year Ice Prison!
