"Hahahaha, long live Captain Kaido!"
"How dare a country in a small paradise go against the Four Emperors!"
"Destroy them, destroy them!"
...
Kaido's dragon transformation gave the Beasts Pirates members great confidence.
They shouted loudly, as if victory was already at hand.
But among them, only the two men with the Three Calamities title, also two of the Beasts Pirates' three "All-Stars", [Plague] Queen and [Fire] King, noticed the strangeness in Kaido's expression.
After breathing out the heat breath, Kaido should have continued back to Onigashima to drink, so why would he show such a look of facing a great enemy?
In that instant, a cold chill surged into the hearts of these two All-Stars.
They realized that things were not good and immediately activated their Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit abilities.
[Fire] King - Ryu Ryu no Mi, Ancient Model: Pteranodon form!
[Plague] Queen - Ryu Ryu no Mi, Ancient Model: Brachiosaurus form!
The transformation of the two men caused a great commotion, immediately attracting the attention of many Beasts Pirates members.
They were all a little confused.
Could it be that these two All-Stars, seeing their captain so active, also planned to show off their strength?
But [Fire] King, due to his own abilities, is considered a man with flight and ranged attack methods, so why would [Plague] Queen, who has no flight ability, join in?
And in the next second, the Beasts Pirates members had an answer.
The actions of these two All-Stars were not to "prepare an attack," but to "prepare a defense!"
Because after the smoke in the air cleared, the Sand Giant's movements still did not stop at all, not even a pause.
That big hand still maintained its amazing speed, aimed at Onigashima in the sky, and then slammed down!
"Quick, move, move!"
"It's too late!"
"There's no way to dodge!"
For a time, the Beasts Pirates members on the entire Onigashima, who were originally clamoring, fell into a panic.
They wanted to "jump ship" to escape, but found that they were high in the sky and had no way to escape!
Ask Kaido for help?
They didn't have the guts!
If they really did that, Kaido would definitely throw them off Onigashima directly!
Helpless, they could only hug the fixed objects around them and pray that Kaido or Onigashima itself could help them through this disaster.
...
Huff...
The sand hand whizzed, and then, accompanied by the intense rumble produced after friction with the air, it slammed heavily on the horned skull on Onigashima!
In front of that huge palm, the horned skull on Onigashima, which originally looked very large, was like a coconut, directly slapped in the palm!
Boom!
A huge booming sound rang out, the horned skull first began to break from the middle, and then the huge palm pressed down, heavily hitting the center of Onigashima!
Boom boom boom boom!
Continuous explosions filled the eardrums of the Beasts Pirates.
They only felt their heads dizzy, and their whole bodies felt like the surroundings were spinning.
The huge force, along with gravity, pressed down, causing the "flame clouds" that originally carried Onigashima to become shaky!
This ability to make an entire island float was not Kaido's specialty.
What's more, even the Float-Float Fruit user [Golden Lion] Shiki could not completely resist such a terrible blow!
Boom - crash!
Countless cracks filled the surroundings of Onigashima.
Gradually, these cracks began to spread, eventually scattering throughout Onigashima.
Presumably, the internal structure of Onigashima is also a mess now.
A few connection points barely maintained the shape of Onigashima, but even so, it was impossible to resist the Sand Giant's next attack!
But just when the Beasts Pirates all thought that Onigashima was about to be smashed to pieces by the Sand Giant, the Sand Giant's movements suddenly stopped.
He withdrew his right hand.
As the Sand Giant's right palm slowly lifted, the shaky Onigashima finally managed to hold on.
"We're... we're alive!"
"Is it because of Captain Kaido?"
This time, the Beasts Pirates did not cheer, after all, the shock brought to them by surviving a disaster was too great.
And subsequent events proved that even if they weren't "happy too soon," the disaster that was coming would still come.
Because the Sand Giant's withdrawal was not because of some other "force majeure," it was completely a conscious act!
He withdrew his right hand, then stepped forward with his front foot, clenched his left fist, pulled it back to his waist, and aimed at Onigashima in the distance!
Boom!
A huge roar sounded again, and this time it was even stronger than before!
The Sand Giant aimed at the front of Onigashima, took a step forward, and swung his left fist violently!
Boom!
The huge sand fist directly hit Onigashima.
This time, there were no other possibilities, and there was no such thing as "shaky."
Just like an ordinary person smashing a "clod of dirt" in mid-air, the Sand Giant's punch directly shattered the entire Onigashima!
"Aah!"
"Help!"
"It's too high!"
Screams came from mid-air. Most of them were the low-level members of the Beasts Pirates, who usually did evil under the name of the Four Emperors, but their actual fighting power was not extraordinary.
Those who were truly skilled had already prepared themselves.
[Beast] Kaido especially likes strong people, and many people who were defeated by him joined the Beasts Pirates either forced or voluntarily.
Those skilled people had been struggling in the New World for many years, what kind of desperate situation had they not seen?
Falling from a high altitude was naturally manageable.
It would just be very painful.
At the same time, Kaido simply dispersed the flame clouds surrounding the broken Onigashima.
The fragments of Onigashima and the Beasts Pirates fell together, instead becoming a fulcrum for them to adjust their posture in mid-air, helping them to further reduce casualties.
...
Looking at Kaido's side again.
He continued to maintain his Azure Dragon form, his eyes fixed on the Sand Giant in front of him.
The heat breath did hit, but how could this be?
Something seems wrong...
...
On the other side, [Fire] King, relying on his Devil Fruit ability, was still flying in mid-air.
He came to Kaido's side, and after slightly exchanging glances with his captain, he suddenly flew towards the ground.
...
Above the ground.
Dalton saw this scene happening in mid-air and frowned.
He roared at the Drum Kingdom Royal Army around him:
"Prepare for battle!"
"Concentrate all your energy, fight hard!"
"Our opponents this time are the Four Emperors Pirates!"
