One Piece : Kaido Brother

The golden-red radiance filled the vision of everyone present.

BOOM!!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted.

The tens of thousands of pirates nearby clutched their ears in agony, with most of them bleeding profusely from their ears.

Within a five-kilometer radius of Sengoku explosion, weaker pirates were shaken to the point of bleeding from all over their body, collapsing silently to their deaths.

Kaido and Big Mom, who had initially been dismissive and slow to retreat, suddenly paled as they sensed an overwhelming aura of death.

"That old man Sengoku, he actually—!" Kaido pupils dilated slightly, his spirit shaken by the suffocating dread that coiled around his heart.

At the epicenter of Sengoku explosion, Caesar front torso was stripped of a layer of flesh, leaving his entire body drenched in blood.

Yet the shockwaves were relentless, like nuclear radiation, surging in waves with no end in sight.

"Kunpeng... True Form!"

Caesar voice was hoarse as he roared furiously.

His massive body rapidly transformed, his skin darkening as he morphed into an enormous fish, crashing onto the already shattered ice.

Bigger, bigger, bigger!

The Kunpeng True Form expanded wildly, growing tenfold with every breath.

A hundred meters.

A thousand meters.

Ten thousand meters.

Twenty thousand meters!

A fish body spanning twenty kilometers now loomed between skies, sprawled across the sea.

Pirates who failed to evade in time were instantly crushed into pulp under Caesar's billion-ton mass, without even a sound.

"Everyone! Retreat! Now!" King screamed hysterically, flapping his wings as he hovered midair, staring at the colossal black fish that was Caesar.

"Caesar-sama!"

Gaping wounds, spanning five to six kilometers in proportion, had appeared across the twenty-kilometer-long fish body.

Torrents of crimson blood gushed out, dyeing vast stretches of the sea red.

Any marine life touched by Caesar blood immediately began mutating wildly.

Tiny shrimp the size of fingernails grew to over ten meters long in mere breaths.

Strange fish originally measuring a dozen meters ballooned to the size of small hills after contact with the blood.

Caesar essence dispersed, causing the entire sea to boil like a pot of scalding water.

Countless fish swarmed from the depths and distant waters, bathing in his essence to undergo a rare, supercharged evolution.

"GAAAAHHHH!!"

The agony wracking Caesar body was unbearable.

The searing aura of death resembled Katakuri awakened demon flames, yet far more profound.

Sengoku had never wielded power of this caliber before.

Perhaps it was his final life-or-death burst, combined with the unique properties of his Buddha Fruit, that unleashed this eerie force capable of annihilating both flesh and soul simultaneously!

The mountainous Kunpeng True Form writhed uncontrollably across the sea, unable to endure the torment.

Caesar thrashing sent shockwaves through the ocean—the frozen expanse shattered for hundreds of miles, ice sheets collapsing as towering waves surged skyward.

"Get out! NOW!"

Kaido transformed into a Azure Dragon, circling mid-air as he anxiously watched Caesar thrashing wildly in the seawater.

His massive draconic eyes brimmed with concern.

Though their ideals and opinions always clashed, Caesar was, after all, his own elder brother.

Seeing those terrifying, festering wounds covering Caesar body and his agonized screams, even Kaido iron-hard heart couldn't help but soften with pity.

"Caesar!" Linlin hovered in the air atop flames, tears welling in her eyes as she clenched her fists, staring fixedly at Caesar massive form.

Of the original ten thousand pirates, only six thousand had escaped that horrific battlefield, taking refuge on a massive ice dozens of miles away.

Over two thousand had been killed by Sengoku explosive shockwaves, while another thousand had been crushed instantly when Caesar revealed his true form.

The captured Marine officers who'd been spared earlier were all obliterated in the explosion.

Katakuri lay on the ice, his chest caved in as blood gushed from his mouth, his breathing faint and labored.

Garp final burst of power, fueled by hatred, had dealt a fatal blow to Katakuri in his weakened state after defeating Kizaru.

King, in his pteranodon form, was pushing the enormous ice further away to safety.

Because Caesar colossal body continued to writhe and churn in the ocean, stirring up monstrous tidal waves!

"Linlin! Help them evacuate this area first! Otherwise, everyone will perish here!" Kaido roared through his draconic maw.

But Linlin seemed deaf to his words, standing transfixed in the sky as if her soul had departed, her eyes seeing only Caesar.

"Tch! Damn madwoman, I'll do it myself then." Kaido sighed and swooped down toward the ice, where Yamato—still shackled with seastone cuffs—stood among the survivors.

After a brief glance at Yamato, Kaido summoned his wind control, conjuring a massive storm to propel the ice rapidly forward.

In the sea, Caesar continued his violent thrashing.

Around his body, countless sea creatures swarmed like zombies besieging a city, frenziedly devouring the blood leaking from his wounds.

As billions of fish gorged themselves, every drop of Caesar's spilled blood was consumed.

Driven mad by their feeding frenzy, the fish turned their attention toward Caesar himself—toward the gaping wounds still oozing with blood.

In an instant, fish of all sizes opened their jaws wide, attacking Caesar's injuries.

Among them were several Sea Kings spanning kilometers in length!

To these mindless creatures, the scent of blood from Caesar's wounds was an irresistible lure.

Yet these were no ordinary wounds—they were saturated with the ultimate power of Sengoku dying strike, infused with overwhelming death and destruction.

The moment any fish approached Caesar injuries, their bodies exploded into bloody mist, only to be immediately devoured by other ravenous fish in the frenzy.

Caesar consciousness grew increasingly hazy.

As the overwhelming metallic stench of blood filled the seawater, his innate urges for slaughter and consumption surged uncontrollably within him.

Finally, Caesar opened his maw—a chasm-like abyss spanning ten kilometers.

In that single instant, a massive void appeared among the teeming fish.

No one could tell how many were swallowed whole as that colossal mouth snapped shut.

The massive amount of fish that entered Caesar stomach was instantly ground into nothingness by the chaotic energy within his body, transforming into an endless supply of life force that fed back into his form.

The enormous wounds on Caesar's body actually began to heal!

As countless fish in the sea continued to be devoured by Caesar, his wounds grew smaller and smaller, until only a narrow, kilometer-long fissure remained—one filled with an aura of death and destruction that couldn't be washed away or erased by life force.

Caesar stopped consuming the fish.

After recovering most of his injuries, Caesar felt utterly exhausted, wanting only to sleep.

His boundless, massive fish form began to shrink, reverting to his human shape.

Up in the sky, Linlin gaze had been vacant, as if her soul had gone.

But when Caesar's enormous fish form vanished, she suddenly snapped awake, frantically scanning the sea's surface.

Soon, Linlin spotted Caesar lying on his back in the water, rapidly sinking toward the depths.

"Caesar!"

Linlin face paled.

The massive sword in her hand suddenly elongated, becoming incredibly flexible as it coiled around Caesar body, pulling him up from the sea.

She hurriedly checked his condition and only when she confirmed he had merely fallen asleep did she finally exhale in relief.

Running her fingers over the unhealed, pitch-black wound on Caesar chest, Linlin pupils abruptly constricted.

"Sengoku!" She recalled Sengoku final moments and sighed involuntarily.

Then, her gaze fell upon a skeletal remains floating on the sea's surface.

The skeleton was tall, its bones entirely golden, radiant and gleaming under the sunlight.

After a moment of hesitation, Linlin retrieved the remains.

This... must be Sengoku's final legacy.
