At this moment, not only the God's Knights, but also the Emperors Alliance, had begun using drugs to forcibly enhance their combat power.
Both sides had reached the same conclusion, the battle had to end quickly. Shunmaru and the Four Soul Divine Blood both carried severe side effects that could not be ignored.
The difference lay in their limitations. Shunmaru had a strict time limit, after ten minutes the body would fall into extreme exhaustion. The Four Soul Divine Blood had no fixed duration, instead its burden depended on the user's vitality, granting power in its purest form through spiritual enhancement.
" Worororo, fine, let's end this quickly," Kaido roared as he swung his spiked club toward Saint Nusjuro once again.
Saint Nusjuro was already struggling to match Kaido before this, and now that Kaido had further enhanced his power, the gap widened even more. With a single strike, Saint Nusjuro was sent flying.
It was not only Kaido. On every battlefield, the members of the Emperors Alliance had entered a full output state, choosing to trade damage for damage. Their objective was simple, restrain the God's Knights and apply Seastone restraints, that would decide victory.
The intensity of the battle escalated sharply.
"Great Majesty, Thunder Bagua."
Kaido roared as his spiked club clashed down with overwhelming force.
With a sharp impact, Saint Nusjuro's weapon, the First Generation Oni Whetstone, was shattered. The blow landed directly on his face, sending his body crashing into the ground and forming a massive human shaped crater.
Kaido had already been slightly stronger than the Gorosei before, and now his power had risen even further beyond them.
Using Observation Haki, he confirmed Saint Nusjuro was still alive. Kaido understood there was no room for delay.
He soared into the air and gathered the elemental forces of wind, fire, thunder, and cloud into his right fist.
"Dragon Fist."
The strike descended with devastating force.
A violent explosion echoed out as Saint Nusjuro's head was completely crushed by the impact. The ground beneath Kaido fractured outward in a spiderweb pattern, extending hundreds of meters before finally settling.
When Kaido pulled back, he could no longer sense Saint Nusjuro's presence. A sharp grin formed on his face.
"Worororo, who's next."
He turned his gaze toward the remaining Gorosei and launched himself forward.
At the same time, the other four Gorosei had already sensed Saint Nusjuro's defeat. Watching Kaido rush toward them, their expressions finally shifted.
They stood above countless nations, second only to the hidden ruler Imu, the true authority of the world. Yet even they now felt pressure from the approach of death.
"Damn it," Saint Warcury roared.
"Linlin, I'm coming to help you," Kaido called out as he changed direction.
"Mama mama, perfect timing, Kaido," Big Mom responded with a satisfied laugh.
She had also taken Shunmaru to boost her strength, just like the others. Even so, she was still struggling against Saint Saturn. With Kaido joining the fight, the pressure immediately shifted.
Saint Saturn's expression darkened.
He had already been unable to finish Big Mom quickly, and now Kaido had arrived after defeating Saint Nusjuro. The situation was turning against them.
Could it be that the Gorosei, the highest authority of the World Government, were truly going to fall here today.
Before he could react further, Kaido's spiked club slammed directly into him, sending blood spilling from his mouth and nose.
"Linlin, use that move."
"Got it," Big Mom replied immediately.
Both Kaido and Big Mom raised their weapons at the same time. Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki wrapped around Hassaikai and Napoleon respectively, as their power began to merge and intensify.
Saint Saturn's expression twisted as he sensed the danger.
"Conqueror's Haki..."
Kaido and Big Mom unleashed their combined technique at once. A violent shockwave erupted outward and surged toward Saint Saturn.
"Ahhhhhhh."
The purple green shockwave engulfed him completely. He had no time to evade, taking the full impact head on. A deafening blast followed as his body was erased into dust, leaving behind a massive scar across the battlefield stretching tens of thousands of meters.
Saint Saturn was completely annihilated under the combined attack of Kaido and Big Mom.
Without hesitation, both of them turned their attention toward the remaining three Gorosei. Their killing intent remained sharp and unwavering.
They had both taken Shunmaru, and their power had reached a temporary peak. Even if the side effects were severe afterward, neither of them showed hesitation.
They understood clearly that Shunmaru's effect was limited to ten minutes, and every enemy had to be eliminated within that time frame.
"Next is Saint Warcury," Kaido declared.
"Fine," Big Mom answered as she followed him forward, both of them charging toward the next target.
