"Is the reconnaissance unit destroyed?"
On the Main Ship of the Beast Pirates, Kaido stood at the bow, listening to the voice beside him. "Tell Queen not to approach any closer. Proceed with the original plan."
"Understood."
Kaido's subordinate immediately left, while Kaido crossed his arms and glared angrily into the distance.
However, as the Sea Vessel moved forward, a voice rang out from the Watchtower. "Kaido, Ace is here."
"Ace?"
Kaido furrowed his brow and asked, "Is he alone?"
"There's also Heckler and the wanted Princess Vivi."
The voice came again from above.
"Ace, huh? No need to worry. Let him come; he won't leave."
Kaido stood there, his expression indifferent.
What could Ace, once Whitebeard's Second Commander, possibly achieve now?
The latest news indicated he could only fight against one of the Admirals, Kizaru.
Kaido's gaze fixed on the horizon, where a red glow intensified in the distance.
Ace flew at the forefront. As he approached, flames erupted from his back, swirling into the air and forming a sea of fire.
Then Ace halted, floating in mid-air as flames continued to gather around him.
Vivi and Heckler positioned themselves on either side of Ace, gradually increasing the distance between them.
They did not initiate an attack; instead, they planned to set a trap and wait for Kaido to enter.
At the same time, they aimed to draw Kaido's attention, hoping to catch him off guard.
"Kaido, are we really just going to watch Ace gather his power?" one of the officers from the Beast Pirates couldn't help but ask.
"Should we take a detour?" another voice chimed in.
"What are you afraid of?"
Kaido replied coldly, "Such an attack is nothing to worry about. Just protect yourselves."
"Understood."
His subordinates responded in unison and then headed straight toward Ace.
As they approached, Vivi increased the distance even further. From afar, she unleashed several Tornados, directing them toward the two Sea Vessels on the right side of the Main Ship.
The Tornados grew larger, causing those on the two Sea Vessels to act quickly, halting their movements and preparing to counterattack.
The Tornados could not shake their Vessel and posed little threat to those aboard.
However, Vivi's goal was not to defeat them but to hinder their progress.
The Main Ship continued moving forward, reaching the area beneath the sea of flames. Kaido watched Ace from a distance, stretching his body as he said, "I'll go deal with him."
Kaido spoke nonchalantly, his legs slowly bending as he fixed his gaze on Ace in the distance.
"No way."
Ace looked at Kaido, his expression grim. "From this far away, does he plan to jump over and attack?"
"Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer."
Ace gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to strike.
"Die for me!"
Kaido shouted, his legs beginning to stretch out, but suddenly, with a loud boom, the ship shook violently.
Thud.
Kaido staggered, quickly adjusting his footing to stabilize himself.
However, this movement required him to gather strength anew.
In that instant, a sea of flames descended from the sky, crashing directly toward the Main Ship.
Flame Emperor, Sea of Dead Fire.
This attack was even more destructive than the Great Flame Ring, instantly enveloping the massive Vessel that was nearly two hundred meters long.
Not only that, Xiaqiu leaped out of the water, a Fishman corpse clamped in its jaws. With a powerful thrust in mid-air, it charged toward Kaido.
"The beast that killed Jack?"
Faced with Ace and Xiaqiu's assault, Kaido's expression turned furious. "Do you really think you can kill me like this?"
With a mighty roar, he raised his right arm and struck the air.
Boom.
His fist landed in the void, and a massive shockwave radiated from his punch, rushing toward the empty space.
Flames erupted from the center of his fist, curling upward and diagonally.
Fire is a state of combustion, a phenomenon involving burning flammable gases that emit light and heat, flickering as they rise.
Flammable liquids or solids must first convert into gas to ignite and produce flames.
The mass of flames is light, and the combustion products are gases that move rapidly along the direction of airflow.
If flames cling to flammable liquids or solids, as long as the liquid and solid remain intact, the flames may not extinguish; they will merely sway with the airflow and may even grow stronger.
However, Ace's flames had already left his body, with no source in the air.
Under the immense shockwave, the flames curled back and extinguished, continuously spreading outwards.
In an instant, half of the flames vanished, yet they continued to descend.
But Kaido extended his left hand, and Armament Haki enveloped him, forming an invisible armor that shielded the bow of the ship; the flames could not harm him at all.
Not only that, but Kaido also extended his left hand to block at his side.
Bang.
Kaido's hand pressed against Xiaqiu's head, instantly halting his movement.
"Such great power."
Xiaqiu's four legs braced against the deck, revealing a look of astonishment.
Did he actually withstand this?
Ace's strongest attack, combined with his own impact, was blocked by Kaido.
He hadn't used his full strength in the ambush, yet Kaido had only used one hand.
This...
Flames flickered downwards as other figures aboard the Sea Vessel, who could use Armament Haki, also defended against the fire with their Haki.
Only the two Sea Vessels on either side were engulfed by the Flame Strike, instantly igniting, and they were desperately trying to put out the fire.
We cannot give up.
Although the opponent had neutralized the attack, it had restricted Kaido.
Xiaqiu pushed against Kaido with all four legs planted firmly on the deck. Kaido's left hand still pressed down on Xiaqiu's head, his arm muscles bulging as he struggled slightly, having no choice but to infuse Haki into his arm.
"Fire Fist, Battle Axe."
Ace's right fist roared forward, transforming into a massive Fire Fist aimed at the Sea Vessel.
His left foot morphed into a gigantic axe, swinging toward Kaido from his right side.
"Bring it on."
Xiaqiu gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward, pushing hard against Kaido.
Flames landed on Kaido, scorching his Haki, but it was all in vain.
With a grunt, Xiaqiu's strength slowly forced Kaido's left arm back, causing his body to slide to one side.
Kaido was immensely powerful; if he didn't give Xiaqiu any space to strike, his strength was not inferior to Xiaqiu's.
With similar levels of power, the human form had the advantage.
This was because Kaido's size was significantly larger. Standing around eleven meters tall, he was nearly the same height as Xiaqiu when excluding the dorsal fin.
(Kaido's height is depicted as taller in the anime compared to the manga, where he is around ten meters.)
However, Xiaqiu measured close to eighty meters in length. This considerable size made his movements less agile.
Moreover, with Armament Haki, his surface area was too vast, resulting in less defensive capability from the Haki.
Thus, under similar strength conditions, Kaido held a significant advantage.
Xiaqiu's goal was to ram him into the sea and fight him there.
Without the reaction force from solid ground, Kaido would need to expend energy to maintain buoyancy, which would restrict both his size and strength.
This was a crucial opportunity; he had to take advantage of it and knock him down.
Under the immense force, Kaido's body slid continuously until he reached the shore.
But at that moment, several figures appeared in the distance, rushing towards him at high speed.
"Stop right there!"
Heckler leaped into the air, instantly pouncing towards the foremost figure.
Whoosh.
However, the opponent accelerated in an instant, leaping over Heckler and charging straight for Ace.
Heckler wanted to pursue but was surrounded by the remaining figures, which turned out to be a flock of birds.
"Whoosh."
Ace's figure flickered as he created distance, evading the opponent's attack.
Before him was a giant eagle with a wingspan of fourteen meters. After missing its strike, it did not continue the assault but began to transform.
With a rustle, the giant eagle morphed into a voluptuous woman, standing about five meters tall, with a pair of enormous wings measuring seven meters flapping behind her.
"Fire Fist Ace, let me handle you," she said with a smile.
"Beast Pirates, one of Kaido's three calamities, an ancient type of Zoan Devil Fruit user, Argentinian Giant Eagle, Wind Disaster Queen."
Ace looked at her, his expression unusually serious.
On the ship, free from the assault of flames, Kaido extended his right hand, pivoted on his right foot to brace against the ground, and turned to deliver a powerful punch downward.
Boom.
Kaido's fist struck Xiaqiu's head, sending a resonating shockwave through the air.
Xiaqiu's head shook violently, but at the moment of impact, its six tentacles slammed into Kaido's legs, continuing their relentless advance.
Splash.
Kaido was knocked into the ocean by Xiaqiu, plunging into the water.
"Come on, let's fight in the water," Xiaqiu said, grinning widely as it looked at Kaido not far away.
