"Damn it!"
"They're actually running wild in our Marine Headquarters!"
"All elite Marines, charge! Defend the dignity of the Marines!"
Many Vice Admirals could no longer tolerate Kaido's arrogance and rushed forward all at once.
Seeing how fired up the Vice Admirals were, the elite Marines summoned from across the world naturally refused to be outdone. They all followed the Vice Admirals and launched an attack.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Come on!"
"You ants!"
"No matter how many of you come, the result will be the same!"
Facing countless Vice Admirals and elite Marines, Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, stood alone. Not only was he not flustered, but he seemed excited instead.
Then.
The entire Marineford plaza descended into chaos. Kaido slaughtered the Marines single-handedly with his spiked club, leaving none of them standing.
At this moment.
The several Shichibukai remained unmoved as well, seemingly having no desire to join the battlefield.
After all, Hawkeye Mihawk's attack just now had merely been intended to test Kaido's defensive strength. He had not truly meant to fight Kaido to the death, so he now watched the battle as though nothing had happened.
As for Blackbeard Teach and Gecko Moria, both of them had already suffered serious injuries, so they naturally had no desire to continue fighting.
Even Admiral Kizaru had suffered minor injuries, and he also understood that joining the battlefield again would not change anything.
Unless!
All three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters attacked together, there might still be a chance of victory.
Therefore!
In this chaotic battle!
Kaido had always held the absolute upper hand, and countless Marines felt the terror of his strength.
At this moment.
Karp, who was usually taciturn, removed his Marine coat and reached out to undo the buttons on his chest. His expression had turned solemn.
"Sengoku!" Karp called out sternly.
As his old comrade-in-arms, Sengoku immediately understood Karp's action. He likewise removed his clothes, stretched his hands, and said with a smile, "Karp, how long has it been since the two of us old fellows last loosened up?"
"That's right. What is it? Are you afraid you can't keep up anymore?" Karp said with a laugh.
"I'm afraid you can't keep up anymore, Karp!" Sengoku laughed as well.
That was right!
The two of them were about to make their move!
Every Marine who saw this was utterly stunned!
After all, Karp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku had last joined forces more than twenty years ago. It had also been at Marine Headquarters, where the two of them had defeated the legendary pirate Golden Lion. That battle had shaken the entire world!
"They're making their move!"
"Vice Admiral Karp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku are making their move!"
"The two legendary Marines are taking action! We're certain to win now!"
All the Marines began cheering excitedly.
Even Roya, who had been watching the battle in silence, was shocked.
After all, he knew Karp's strength. Now that Fleet Admiral Sengoku's power had been added to the equation, perhaps Kaido really might not be able to withstand them.
Roya smiled faintly, ready to see how this battle would unfold.
Then.
Karp and Sengoku jumped onto the Marineford plaza at the same time, in perfect unison.
The Marines who had been fighting immediately cleared a path for them.
Karp and Sengoku walked toward Kaido with identical strides. The scene and their imposing auras were simply beyond description.
"Karp! Sengoku!"
As Kaido looked at the two of them, a faint tremor seemed to flash across his eyes.
After all, Kaido had fought Karp and Sengoku before, so he naturally understood their strength. Although they were not strong enough to kill him, they could still suppress him.
"Kaido!"
"I originally had no intention of making a move!"
"But you've gone too far. This is Marine Headquarters. How could we let you run wild?"
Karp spoke with righteous indignation.
"That's right!"
"Kaido, don't even think about escaping this time!"
Sengoku's eyes likewise turned sharp as he spoke with overwhelming Haki.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Karp, Sengoku, you're nothing but remnants of the old era—just a pair of old men. You think you can threaten me?"
Everyone had assumed that Kaido would show some restraint when facing Karp and Sengoku, no matter how powerful he was.
But no one had expected him to become even more arrogant!
"In that case, I'll teach you a proper lesson today!"
Karp's face turned ferocious. His clenched fist immediately became wrapped in the strongest Armament Haki, and with a furious shout, he punched toward Kaido.
Facing Karp's punch, Kaido seemed to sense a trace of danger. He became serious as well and swung the spiked club in his hand.
Boom!
The fist and spiked club collided, creating a powerful pressure that sent everyone present crashing to the ground in shock.
The two of them remained locked in a stalemate for less than half a minute before each retreated several steps.
Then.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku made his move as well!
His opponent was none other than Kaido of the Four Emperors, so Fleet Admiral Sengoku naturally held nothing back. He immediately used his Devil Fruit ability, the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form!
Sengoku instantly transformed into a gigantic golden Buddha. With one hand shaped into a palm, he unleashed a powerful shockwave toward Kaido.
The violent shockwave pressed directly against Kaido, leaving him unable to move.
Boom!
After another earth-shaking blast!
A huge crater had been blasted into the spot where Kaido stood by Sengoku's shockwave, and thick smoke immediately billowed everywhere!
Just as the many Marines believed that Fleet Admiral Sengoku's attack had succeeded.
Kaido's arrogant laughter suddenly rang out from within the smoke.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Karp, Sengoku, is this all the strength you remnants of the old era possess?"
The instant Kaido finished speaking arrogantly, he suddenly leaped out. Clutching his spiked club tightly, he swung it toward Sengoku.
At this moment.
Karp did not remain idle either. He clenched his fist again and attacked once more.
And so.
Three ridiculously powerful men began an earth-shaking battle here.
Everyone surrounding them watched in stunned silence.
Even the several Shichibukai, including Hawkeye Mihawk and Hancock, held their breath.
So this is the strongest power? Hawkeye Mihawk thought.
At this moment.
Blackbeard, who had just been knocked down, had already gotten back to his feet. He covered his face, his expression extremely ugly.
"Phew, phew..."
"The Four Emperors! The Marines!"
As expected, I'm still not strong enough! I must complete my plan! I must obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit! Blackbeard Teach swore to himself.
