Raimei Hakke, Nothing More

At this moment.

Big Mom and Akainu were also locked in an intense, white-hot clash.

Though "clash" was not quite accurate. A one-sided crushing would have been more fitting.

Losing one Calamity was already an extremely heavy blow to the Beasts Pirates. If both of them died... even Kaido could
