In the nick of time, the Whitebeard turned his head again, and a splatter of blood appeared on his arm, deep enough to expose the bone.

With a roar, the Whitebeard bent his other arm and thrust his elbow out, causing the earth to crumble and the atmosphere to shatter.

Covered in smoke and flames, accompanied by the cracking of bones and explosions, Ye Chen tumbled out, rolling miserably on the ground, finally crossing an Abyss ravine and lying in the ruins.

Lying prone on the ground, blood dripping from his seven orifices, Ye Chen's face was deathly pale, and he was extremely weak, his whole body covered in dust.

On the other side, the powerful explosion caused Whitebeard's beard to disappear completely, leaving his broad chest covered in wounds. He was covered in blood and was thrown sideways, finally kneeling in the ruins.

With difficulty, Ye Chen braced himself on the ground with his hands, nearly falling several times. At this moment, he felt as if his entire body no longer belonged to him; the feeling of powerlessness was like drowning, making him feel suffocated.

Unable to stop coughing up blood, Ye Chen knew he had lost.

Looking up weakly at the Whitebeard slowly rising and walking towards him step by step, Ye Chen clutched his chest, unable to stand, and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Compared to herself, who didn't even have the strength to stand up, the man opposite her, despite being seriously injured, remained standing.

The difference between the two is simply too obvious.

"Whoosh"

Just then, a sudden pressure descended upon the entire sky, and the violent, oppressive atmosphere caused everyone to involuntarily raise their heads and look towards the sky.

"Boom boom boom"

The entire earth sank, and pieces of the crust were pried up to form hills. At the very center, a bottomless pit was stirred up by a storm.

A large hand suddenly grabbed the edge and leaped out.

"Roar"

A violent sonic boom stirred up a storm that spread in all directions.

A fierce aura filled the air, like an ancient beast, and that enormous figure appeared before Ye Chen's eyes.

"Kaido"

The entire battlefield was calmed down by the appearance of this man.

"Come back, everyone. Prepare to leave."

Lying in a pool of blood, Ye Chen supported himself with his hands and swayed as he stood up. At the same time, Enel and the others who were fighting heard Ye Chen's voice.

And, high above, someone else also heard it.

"Crack!"

As lightning struck, Enel, blood spilling from his mouth, appeared somewhat disheveled beside Ye Chen. Then, Rob Lucci, covered in blood, stepped out of the spatial dimension.

Gradually, Tesoro, Bai Doudou, and the others also abandoned their respective opponents and slowly moved closer.

Before the battle, Ye Chen had instructed Bege and Fire to take the Phoenix Fruit back to their country, meaning that Ye Chen and the others could leave at any time.

On the opposite side, Jozu and the others stood beside Whitebeard, both sides looking at the huge figure slowly emerging from the smoke and dust.

"I'm not too late, am I!"

It was fierce and explosive, with an overwhelming aura of malevolence spreading in all directions.

"The monster has indeed appeared."

In the distance, Doflamingo stared at the ferocious man who resembled a demon god, his fists clenched tightly.

"Whoever Phoenix Fruit, hand it over, and I'll spare their life!"

Even with Whitebeard present, Kaido remained arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding Whitebeard.

"Kaido, you also want to get your hands on the Phoenix Fruit?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Whitebeard stared coldly at Kaido.

"The winner takes all. Whoever grabs it first Phoenix Fruit. It belongs to me!"

Not at all weak, Kaido glared at Whitebeard, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.

"Retreat."

Seeing Kaido and Whitebeard locked in combat, Ye Chen, supported by Bai Doudou, immediately gave the order to retreat.

With a roar, a Lightning Dragon materialized, and the group stepped onto it, ready to ride the wind and waves.

"You want to leave!"

Seeing that Ye Chen and the others were about to retreat, the Whitebeard suddenly grabbed the space in front of him with both hands and yanked it.

The world was turned upside down, shrouded in darkness, and a destructive force, as powerful as a landslide, indiscriminately surged towards Ye Chen and the others.

"Endless Thunder Punishment"

"Zzzzzzz!" Enel made his move. In an instant, the chaotic world collapsed as endless lightning spread and tilted.

Enel, surrounded by lightning, pressed down with both hands, detonating his entire body. Countless pillars of lightning, like a meteor shower, flashed down.

The world lost its color, and as if a cataclysmic explosion had occurred.

"Puff"

Blood gushed from his mouth as Enel knelt on the Lightning Dragon, blood also spilling from his seven orifices.

"Don't even think about leaving."

Braving the thunder, Jozu charged towards Ye Chen and the others like a mountain, followed closely by two slashes.

"Buzzing"

But in the midst of this chaos, a deafening roar echoed through the sky once more, the oppressive air currents stretching back through the ages.

A veritable island, shrouded in mist, hurtles down.

The raging storm made everyone look up, their pupils contracting.

Unable to stop it, a figure appeared in Whitebeard's mind.

"Boom boom boom"

A meteorite struck Earth, and everything vanished. The enormous island crashed heavily onto Dressrosa, causing chaos and the sea to surge in.

The lightning disappeared to the side, and Ye Chen had no interest in watching any of it.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Breaking news! The Sacred Pirates have appeared in Dressrosa in the New World and are engaged in a major battle with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Kaido of the Four Emperors of the Beasts, has appeared."

"The Shichibukai - Yaksha - Doflamingo"

""

The following day, a series of explosive news stories spread throughout the world.

"Hey! Hey! Who's fighting Whitebeard? Isn't that Thunder God Enel?!"

"Idiot, this is God, the true captain of the Sacred Pirates. Thunder God Enel is just the first mate."

"God actually fought with the World's Strongest Man? How arrogant!"

"Even Kaido has appeared. Is it all because of the Phoenix Fruit?"

"Definitely. You have to understand that's Mythical Zoan, an ability even rarer than Logia."

"I never imagined that God would actually kill Marco the Phoenix. Even Whitebeard couldn't kill him?"

A chorus of doubts, exclamations, and questions filled the entire sea.

From then on, the name of God resounded throughout the sea, becoming a thunderous name.

It was later learned that Dressrosa was almost completely destroyed. Subsequently, Kaido fought Whitebeard, but the Marines appeared shortly afterward.

Enraged by Ye Chen's departure, Whitebeard delivered the final blow to Dressrosa.

This single blow sank the large island of Dressrosa to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a few scattered islands floating in the raging storm.

Furthermore, the navy's attempt to gain an advantage backfired, resulting in significant losses for its own navy.

As for Kaido, he was driven away by Whitebeard to some unknown place and did not gain any advantage.

Yes, Kaido and the Navy both made a wasted trip.

In terms of losses, only Doflamingo suffered the most, because his kingdom vanished.

However, given his status Shichibukai and his influence in the Underworld, seizing a kingdom would be a piece of cake.

As for the inhabitants of the Dressrosa Kingdom, only a small portion escaped and are currently hiding on islands in the nearby sea.

The greatest losses should be suffered by these civilians, because many of them have already disappeared.

This is the tragedy of the weak; faced with disaster, they don't even have the chance to fight back.

Weakness is a sin, nothing more!
