Time rewound to a bit earlier, roughly the same moment when Orochi's Oniwabanshu made their move.

Kozuki Oden, who had been slashed down from the Sky by Charlotte Big Mom, even plowing a ravine into the Ground, had already stood up again from the Ground. For Strongest individuals of their level, their physique was also incredibly powerful. And at this moment, the enraged Kozuki Oden charged towards the Divine Dragon once more.

"You two, get out of this country! And never come back!" The Samurai shattered the Earth, coming wrapped in a Gale, "Oden Two-Sword Style: Paradise Waterfall!!" Haki wrapped around the Blade Edge transformed into a Slash, tearing through the Air. Under this powerful Attack, the Air was groaning.

"Thunder Eight Trigrams!!" The Divine Dragon in the Sky suddenly transformed into a human form. Black Lightning abruptly appeared around Kaido, a violent Aura enveloped his body, an explosive Aura tore apart the surrounding Cloud. At the same time, the giant Spiked Club covered in Armament Haki smashed down towards Oden. As for Charlotte Big Mom, when Kaido canceled his beast form, she had already been caught by Zeus, who had transformed into a giant Thundercloud, and was watching the Battlefield intently from the side.

Kaido, who had pounced down from the Sky, used the Spiked Club wrapped in Lightning to meet Oden's Dual Swords, who had leaped up from the Ground. Boom! The Earth shook violently, Gale howled, rocks shattered, and Soil flew. "That's exhilarating!" From within the Smoke, Kaido's roar transformed into a Gale, blowing away the Dust Cloud. He touched his Right Hand to his right abdomen, looked at the Blood on his hand, and let out a hearty laugh, "Oden, you really surprise me! But—" A ferocious and unrestrained smile bloomed on Kaido's Face, "Attacks of this Degree can't even leave a scar on me! Bastard, give me a hearty Battle!"

As Kaido's Words fell, blue Scales began to spread across his body, another pair of sharp, upright horns like Coral extended from his Forehead, a thick Dragon Tail grew from behind his Waist, striking the Ground and bringing about cracks. Obviously, with Charlotte Big Mom backing him up, he decided to use his Strongest form to face this Enemy, Kozuki Oden!

"Come on! Kozuki Oden! Let's Slaughter! Make sure you let me enjoy myself!" The Monster opened its mouth, its roar transforming into a Breath. Thunder, Flame, Gale, three disastrous elements actually fused in Kaido's Breath, transforming into Dragon's Breath full of destructive Aura! Facing this offensive, Kozuki Oden said nothing, simply directly charged forward. Obviously, the situation in Wano Country was already quite pessimistic. Perhaps only by taking down Kaido and heavily injuring Big Mom could Wano Country have a glimmer of hope. As for defeating Kaido and Big Mom, Oden really hadn't considered it. One-on-one, he might be evenly matched with either of them, but against two, he could say he had no chance of winning. Now, seizing this opportunity to fight Kaido one-on-one, directly embracing the Resolve to die might be the only chance.

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Six Paths Asura!" Accompanied by Oden's roar, the Aura behind him seemed to transform into Asura, roaring towards Kaido! At this moment, there was no fear on Kaido's Face, only eyes burning with intense Fighting Spirit, and a wanton smile. He was truly happy.

The fierce Battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden had already lasted for most of the day. With their Battlefield as the center, the Flower Capital area within a few kilometers radius had been shattered. As for the number of innocent Residents affected, it was as high as ten thousand. After all, Kaido simply didn't care about the lives of these People, and although Kozuki Oden cared, he didn't dare to hold back in the slightest. After all, in this high-level situation, one careless move could lead to defeat. "This is really exaggerated!" Queen, who had transformed into a giant Brachiosaurus, was moving rapidly outside the Flower Capital on the four wheels extending from his feet, and sincerely exclaimed, "These guys are simply like a Natural Disaster!"

Kaido and Oden's exchanges were mostly Melee Combat, but the results were disastrous. A single Slash from Kozuki Oden, a single strike from Kaido's Spiked Club, were both terrifying Power capable of easily destroying a city block. If the two continued to fight like this, it was estimated that before a Outcome was decided, the Flower Capital would be completely destroyed. Not far from them, Kurozumi Orochi had become extremely anxious, biting his fingernails, his Forehead covered in sweat.

"This is bad, this is bad! That bastard Kaido, actually fighting Oden to this extent! Those two guys aren't planning to tear down the entire Flower Capital, are they? And why isn't Big Mom that guy quickly taking action to join Kaido and get rid of that bastard Oden!" "Hey! Higurashi! Semimaru! You guys quickly think of a way! Hurry up and get rid of that bastard Oden! Otherwise, the Flower Capital will be gone!" Kurozumi Orochi said angrily. "Please rest assured, Lord Orochi." Fukurokuju said calmly, "Kozuki Oden no longer has a chance of winning. If you want to know why, please look over here." He pointed in a certain direction.

Orochi followed the direction of his finger and looked over, and then he saw the Oniwabanshu and others walking over. And behind them, brought by the Ninjas under the Oniwabanshu, were Kozuki Oden's wife Amatsuki Toki, and his son Momonosuke. Actually, according to the Speed of the Oniwabanshu, they should have returned to the Flower Capital long ago. The reason they arrived so late was entirely because of a slight Accident on the way. They were unexpectedly ambushed by the Remnant of the former Oniwabanshu and the Kozuki Remnant of Kuri in Wano Country.

Although many of the Oniwabanshu had defected to Orochi, there were inevitably still some loyalists to the Kozuki Family who had escaped during the purge. They just hadn't expected that they would dare to launch an ambush this time. After a long period of fierce Battle, although everyone annihilated the Remnant of the former Oniwabanshu and those Kozuki Remnant, it also delayed them for a considerable amount of Time. "Mwahahahaha! Very good, very good!" Hearing that the Remnant of the former Oniwabanshu had been completely annihilated, Kurozumi Orochi immediately became beaming with joy, clapping his hands excitedly, "Well done! I will Reward you handsomely later!" Obviously, those Remnant of the former Oniwabanshu had brought a lot of trouble to Orochi. The elimination of those guys who were proficient in infiltration and assassination meant that he no longer had to worry about being assassinated. And with Hostage in hand, Kurozumi Orochi even felt that he already had victory in his grasp!

Before long, Kurozumi Orochi saw King and Queen walking over. The clothes on the two of them had become tattered, and they looked somewhat injured, but it was certain that they had achieved victory. The reason Orochi dared to be so certain was entirely because behind the two of them, the Soldiers of the Beasts Pirates were holding and bringing over the Red Scabbards as Evidence. After a long period of fierce Battle, King and Queen finally resolved all of the Red Scabbards. "Mmuhehehehe! Very good, very good!" "Well done!" "Even if that bastard Oden can really defeat Kaido, there definitely won't be any chance of a comeback!" As Kurozumi Orochi, who regarded Kozuki Oden as his lifelong Enemy, could be said to have long studied Kozuki Oden thoroughly, Kurozumi Orochi, holding so many Cards in his hand, was certain that Oden's defeat was sealed!
