The battle on the ground continues.
Through the clouds, one could vaguely see two giant beasts attacking each other in the sky.
Jin and Kaido continued their conflict stemming from the Marineford war and the events in Wano, their mutual animosity intensifying in this battle.
The Azure Dragon and the Nue clashed high in the sky, with flames, lightning, and gales intertwined, completely transforming the appearance of the sky, turning it into a scene akin to purgatory.
Azure Dragon Jin's body was covered in scales, shimmering with a metallic luster. His massive dragon claws carried destructive power, lunging fiercely towards Kaido.
Kaido, transformed into a Nue, was agile and swift, flapping his wings and creating gales as he met Jin's attack.
The moment they collided, lightning and flames erupted, and the entire sky seemed to explode, echoing with deafening roars.
Jin's eyes were fixed forward, closely watching Kaido's every move.
His body was covered in wounds, but there was not a trace of retreat in his eyes.
Judging from the momentum of the opponent's attack, he hadn't been idle since their last battle.
Kaido had made considerable progress since their last encounter, but he was still far behind him.
He was determined to keep him here this time.
Otherwise, no one could withstand him coming to seek revenge every few days.
Kaido's giant eyes flashed with wildness and ferocity. He was surprised by Jin's tenacity, but more so with anger.
He could also feel Jin's progress during this period.
His eyes grew colder as he attacked. He couldn't let Jin continue to grow.
If he allowed the other party to continue growing, the gap between their strengths would only widen, and there would be no place for pirates like them in this world.
"Fire God Descends!"
He roared, spreading his giant hands, and a pillar of flame spewed from his hand, heading straight for Jin.
A red light flashed in Jin's eyes, and his body quickly dodged. The flames brushed past him, and the scorching temperature made his skin tingle, but he didn't stop. Instead, he took advantage of this momentary gap to quickly approach Kaido and strike with his claws.
The collision of the dragon claws and the flame-formed defense produced a dull sound. Kaido's body faltered slightly after being hit, and the flames on his body were instantly torn apart.
Jin succeeded with one strike and flicked off the blood on his claws.
In the sky, blood continued to fall, dripping onto the sea, creating ripples, enough to illustrate the fierceness of the battle.
Jin knew that if he couldn't quickly resolve Kaido, the outcome of this battle would become even more unpredictable.
He gritted his teeth, and the power within his body surged continuously, enveloping his entire body as if it were covered in burning flames.
His fists were wrapped in lightning and flames, and he launched round after round of fierce attacks on Kaido.
Kaido was equally unwilling to be outdone. He swung his arms, creating gales that tore apart the surrounding clouds.
His massive body tumbled in the sky, bringing with it bursts of Nue cries, and the entire sky seemed to tremble for his anger.
The two exchanged blows high in the sky, and each collision was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, and the entire battlefield was shaken by the aftermath of this battle.
......
Jin's transformed Azure Dragon and Kaido's transformed Nue continued to collide in the air, each collision like the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!"
The waves of Haki that converged and formed vibrated from the air in all directions, and the substantial attacks impacted the navy and pirates fighting below.
Every wave carried an aura of destruction, causing people to wonder what terrifying level the strength of Jin and Kaido had reached.
The sky was filled with surging Haki, as if it wanted to sweep across the heavens and the earth. The two were like demon gods destroying everything, and the intense aura spread from their battlefield, shaking the heavens and the earth.
In the sky, lightning and flames intertwined, and gales and thunderstorms tore at each other, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Every roar seemed to announce the intensity and ruthlessness of this decisive battle.
On the battlefield below, countless eyes looked at the battle in the sky in shock.
They witnessed the devastating collision, and their hearts were filled with awe and fear.
Both the navy and the pirates understood that if Jin and Kaido hadn't deliberately moved away from the battlefield to ensure that the aftermath didn't directly affect them, less than 10% of the people here would be able to stand.
Everyone knew that they were just small characters in this huge battle, and they would be swallowed by the violent power if they were not careful.
Every confrontation between Jin and Kaido in the air carried unparalleled power.
On the battlefield below, the soldiers' hearts were filled with shock and helplessness.
They understood that they were able to stand here and fight the enemy entirely because of the will and power of the two powerhouses in the sky.
And what they could do was to do their best to fulfill their mission and live up to the protection of the two powerhouses.
Each time the shockwave of Haki swept through, the ground trembled, dust flew, and the vision blurred.
The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their hearts filled with both anger towards the enemy and awe of the battle in the sky.
"Rumble!!!"
A loud noise tore through the sky, and two figures in the sky collided violently.
That kind of earth-shattering explosion, like the end of the world, made people involuntarily cover their ears.
The explosion was deafening, as if the entire world was shaking at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the shockwave caused by the explosion swept around, like a ruthless storm, sweeping everything.
Those pirates closest to Jin and their battlefield were unable to resist this huge shockwave at all, and were directly blown away, wrapped in the shockwave and flew into the distance, letting out painful groans.
Those pirates who were blown away were like kites with broken strings, unable to resist.
The rest of the people had terrified expressions, but were unable to take any measures to prevent it. Their bodies were stiff, as if waiting for the arrival of a ruthless fate.
Just as the shockwave was about to affect the navy's camp, a cloud of sand suddenly flew from a distance, quickly forming a barrier in front of the navy.
The sand was like a wall, firmly blocking between the navy and the shockwave, instantly dissolving all the ruthless power.
"Crocodile!"
Some sharp-eyed navy soldiers exclaimed, and when they saw the figure in the sky wearing a coat, a surge of hope arose in their hearts.
Crocodile floated in the air, with a sneer on his face, and the sand in his hand continued to rotate, forming an indestructible barrier, completely blocking the shockwave outside.
A cold light flashed in Crocodile's eyes, and he looked down at the battlefield below.
Under his control, the sand turned into countless sharp sand blades, and swept towards the enemy at a high speed.
Each sand blade accurately hit the target, and cut down those pirates who could not resist.
