New World Marine Headquarters.
The sounds of battle continued, with the Marines representing justice and the pirates representing evil completely consumed by bloodlust.
Viewed from above, the massive plaza of G-1 Island had become a crimson hell on earth.
This brutal war had lasted from morning until now, over three hours already.
Total casualties on both sides had approached three hundred thousand!
Mid-to-high-level combatants on both sides had also suffered heavy losses.
On the Marine side, few Headquarters Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals remained.
Excellent Marine Vice Admirals like Smoker, Doberman, and Tokikake had all fallen in the great battle.
On the Beast God Pirates' side, besides Tesoro and Moria falling in battle, many children of Big Mom like Cracker and Snack had died on the battlefield.
If not for Caesar's essence blood as a trump card that could restore stamina when exhausted, even King, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Yamato and others would likely face life-or-death crises.
"ROAR!"
"HISS!"
A hundred meters in the air, a hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon was madly chasing a giant green serpent of comparable size!
The two fought fiercely above everyone's heads in an extremely bloody spectacle.
From time to time, great sprays of scalding blood would rain down like torrential downpours.
"WORORORO! Boro Breath! Kaifu!"
Kaido opened his ferocious dragon maw, spewing pillars of fire and wind blades relentlessly at the green serpent, burning Floyd and making him shriek in pain.
However, the giant serpent form Floyd had taken was no pushover either - whenever it opened its mouth, it would spray highly toxic venom at Kaido.
The corrosive power of its venom was no less than that of Magellan, Pavlov and others.
When the venom splashed on Kaido's already seriously wounded injuries, it immediately produced sizzling burning sounds that were horrifying to hear!
But Kaido only grew more ferocious in battle, with crimson flames beginning to rise from his massive dragon body as he prepared an utterly terrifying move.
"Floyd! Come here and let me turn you into roasted serpent!"
Ignoring the terrible wounds on his body that were continuously being burned by the venom, Kaido swung his dragon claws and charged fiercely toward the giant cyan serpent.
He directly seized the serpent's gaping maw and, with the strength of his dragon claws, forcefully pried the snake's jaws apart in opposite directions!
With his long beard flowing, Kaido raised his massive dragon head, his eyes blood-red, and a scorching red glow gradually emerged from his mouth.
The hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon was instantly bathed in flames, transforming into a fiery dragon.
"Flame Dragon Torch!!"
The fierce dragon's maw opened wide, spewing a blazing crimson pillar of fire directly into the python's mouth, which had been pried open by the dragon's claws!
"Roar!!"
The blue giant python's eyes revealed a look of terror as it desperately writhed its hundred-meter-long body, as thick as an ancient tree.
But Kaido's dragon claws, crackling with black lightning, dug directly into the python's lower jaw, firmly locking it in place!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The pillar of fire from Kaido's Azure Dragon mouth continued to pour into the python's gaping maw!
A scene that shocked everyone unfolded in the sky!
From the seams between the scales on the hundred-meter-long blue-scaled giant python's body, flames began to leak out in wisps!
The flames poured out faster and more abundantly.
In an instant, the entire python turned into a blazing torch!
From within the flames came the desperate screech of the giant python!
"Damn it! Floyd!"
On the ground, Army General Pavlov's eyes nearly burst with rage.
He stomped his foot, ready to leap into the sky to rescue.
Army Marshal Atlas was already dead.
If Floyd were to die as well, the Army would likely be crippled.
Swish!
A black thread shot past his cheek, slicing a shallow cut on his skin, drawing blood.
"Fufufufu, General Pavlov, you should worry about yourself."
Doflamingo, looking exhilarated, had already consumed Caesar's essence blood, restoring his depleted stamina.
Beside him, the tall Crocodile had also regained his vigor, frantically manipulating yellow sand to attack Pavlov relentlessly.
Pavlov's aura, however, seemed somewhat disordered.
He gritted his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.
His Corrosion-Corrosion Fruit ability, a superior version of the Rust-Rust Fruit, was undeniably powerful.
Merely touching it had instantly defeated Tesoro.
But facing these two former Seven Warlords with their seamless coordination, he encountered unprecedented obstacles.
Doflamingo's endless threads and Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit interference, which eroded Haki, prevented Pavlov from closing in to deliver a finishing blow.
And whenever Pavlov tried to retreat temporarily, these two mad dogs would charge at him recklessly.
Pavlov couldn't simply ignore them.
Because the combined attacks of Doflamingo and Crocodile still packed a significant punch.
His defense was nowhere near as strong as Atlas's or Floyd's.
"Since you're asking for death, I'll grant your wish!"
Pavlov, unable to escape or secure a kill, had reached his breaking point.
Sensing Floyd's rapidly fading aura in the sky, Pavlov knew Floyd's death was inevitable!
Immediately, he cast aside all concerns about the consequences.
"Corrosion Ability Awakening! Melt Heaven and Earth!"
The next moment, Pavlov's entire body turned green.
Billowing green mist spread from his body, transforming the ground within hundreds of meters into a sea of green fog.
Wherever the mist passed, the earth corroded, the ground seeming to be devoured by an invisible monster, layer by layer disappearing!
The terrifying corrosive power was dissolving everything within this range.
Anyone engulfed by this sea of mist, whether pirate or Marine, without exception instantly dissolved into a puddle of thick liquid!
Among them were over a dozen giant warriors from the Beast God Pirates.
These giant warriors stood tall, like small mountains.
Yet under Pavlov's corrosive power, they couldn't even last a single breath, collapsing and melting away like ice and snow.
Doflamingo and Crocodile exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
"Let's go! Use that move!" Doflamingo roared.
Crocodile's massive body burst apart, transforming into countless fine grains of sand that swirled through the air.
Doflamingo flicked his fingers toward the sand, condensing the swirling yellow sand into countless threads too fine to be seen with the naked eye!
The remaining sand howled as it enveloped Doflamingo's body, forming a menacing suit of sand armor!
At this moment, their Armament Haki was stacked, Conqueror's Haki was fused, and Devil Fruit abilities were perfectly synchronized!
The churning green sea of mist swallowed his figure as Pavlov laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha, die! Sand Crocodile, Heavenly Yaksha!"
Ssssss!
Within the hundreds of meters of green mist, hair-thin threads crisscrossed through the air, faintly radiating the power of Conqueror's Haki!
"Sand Thread Ultimate Fusion Technique! Divine! Sand! Storm!!"
Two cold, arrogant voices rang out simultaneously!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless invisible threads swept across the sky.
The churning sea of mist instantly solidified, Pavlov's body froze in place, and his laughter abruptly ceased!
The ground was sliced open, space itself torn apart.
Wherever the threads passed, it was as if hundreds of great sword masters had unleashed their slashes!
"So fast... this technique..."
Pavlov's eyes widened, his dilated pupils faintly reflecting the image of Doflamingo clad in sand armor.
Sssss.
Streams of blood shot out like arrows as Pavlov's body collapsed like building blocks, breaking into countless pieces that scattered across the ground.
Boom!
The plaza trembled as a giant serpent, roasted until it emitted waves of fragrant aroma, fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground, raising clouds of dust!
Kaido's figure landed right after with a thunderous impact!
He grinned toward Doflamingo, giving a thumbs up.
"Yo! Not bad at all, Joker!"
