The sounds of battle echoed throughout Onigashima, mingling with the growls of beasts on both sides, the cries of men, explosions, and the clash of bullets and swords. Entire areas were destroyed as Akuma no Mi powers were unleashed without restraint.

At that moment, Kaido entered the skull-shaped island, surveying his surroundings. He could feel through his Haki that things weren't going well for his side. Slowly, he turned his attention to Luffy standing before him.
"So, your fleet is here..." Kaido said, grabbing his Kanabo and slamming it forcefully against the ground. He was finally ready to fight, determined to deal with the Straw Hat once and for all.

Luffy faced him with a confident smile. "Let's end this, Kaido," Luffy said, and in the next moment, he unsheathed Enma and Ace, facing his opponent.
"That weapon..." Kaido looked at Enma, more surprised by it than by the sword once wielded by Roger, having seen Luffy use it during the war.
"..." Both remained silent as all sides braced themselves for battle. On the battlefield, alongside some of Luffy's crewmates, stood Big Mom, her children, and allies such as Germa 66. On Kaido's side were the two Disasters, five of the Tobiroppo, and most of the main members, while the rest of his group clashed against the horde of beasts and men.

Everyone stared at each other, waiting for the first move. Big Mom wanted to fight Luffy but couldn't ignore the powerful Straw Hat crew members. She prepared to face them, with Kaido raising his Kanabo.

In the next moment, both Luffy and Kaido charged at each other. Luffy wielded his swords, striking against Kaido's weapon. Both weapons were imbued not only with Armament Haki but also with Conqueror's Haki, which exploded at that moment.

Energy bolts from the clash quickly spread in all directions as everyone tried to shield themselves from the vortex of energy. Kaido and Luffy seemed evenly matched.

"Looks like we can't lag behind... After all, there are plenty of opponents for us to face here," Zoro said, now tying his bandana on his head and placing a sword in his mouth, ready to fight.
"My family is here..." Reiju commented, her gaze falling on her brothers and father nearby. But her eyes landed on the blond figure standing a bit apart from them—Sanji, her youngest brother, who looked at her seriously, seemingly conflicted.

"Leave. You'd better get out of here," Yamato said, urging a companion to retreat, as this battle was too overwhelming with so many dangerous enemies present.
"I can help too..." the person insisted, unwilling to leave after coming so far, especially as things were going well for the fleet invading Onigashima.

"Let's go!" Lucy said, her hair waving like everyone else's due to the shockwaves from Luffy and Kaido's ongoing clash. She slammed a fist into her palm, smiling at Big Mom, who glared at her with disdain.
"I don't like the way you look at me, brat!" Big Mom growled, Zeus and Prometheus perched on her shoulders.
"Room," Lami activated his ability, preparing to fight the room's enemies.

"Hey, old hag... I think I'm your opponent," Zoro said, stepping in front of Lucy and confronting Big Mom. The Yonkou glared at him. "You attacked me earlier... I think it's time I return the favor, especially since Kaido is already dealing with the captain," he said, charging at her without warning.

Big Mom simply raised her sword—imbued with a soul—and struck at Zoro, clashing against his three Haki-coated swords and Conqueror's Haki.

In the next moment, a second Yonko-level battle erupted on that side. The entire room was affected by the force of two clashes imbued with Conqueror's Haki, shaking the entire place.
"This...!" They murmured in awe.
