"Video Through Anime: Inventory of the Top Ten Combat Ceilings"

The first collision nearly obliterated everything around them, like a meteor crashing to earth. Deep within the impact crater, two figures stood firm—Red-Haired Shanks and Kaido of the Beasts.

On the battlefield of the Shinobi World, Killer Bee was dashing toward the ongoing war but couldn't help pausing to watch the live broadcast.

"Yo! That's the perfect body I've been striving for! I wonder if my blazing lariat could even scratch that monster!"

To Killer Bee, Kaido's overwhelming presence was just as shocking as the legend of the Third Raikage—the man with the strongest shield and spear in shinobi history. The Third Raikage once fought against thousands of shinobi for three days and nights without suffering a single wound.

"Is that chakra? No… that's something else! Such dense, overwhelming power! The sheer shockwaves from their clash are causing this much destruction?"

Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly. A specimen like Kaido? No matter how many times he experimented, he could never hope to match something like this.

In the Kage meeting chambers, the leaders of the Five Great Nations were equally stunned. In Kaido, they saw a monster even more terrifying than the Third Raikage. If they ever had to face him, they would be just as helpless as they were against Madara Uchiha, who had slaughtered entire battalions single-handedly.

"A Conqueror's Haki Clash! Too cool! I want that power too!"

Luffy's heart pounded as he watched the battle unfold. The sheer force of the Yonko's duel left him in awe. If he were standing anywhere near them, just the residual shockwaves alone would have knocked him unconscious.

Yet, Kaido and Shanks remained unfazed. Even Shanks' crew watched with a calmness that unsettled others. They had seen such battles countless times before.

Meanwhile, at Big Mom's Tea Party, Charlotte Linlin and her children sang and danced joyfully.

Perospero twirled his candy cane and approached Big Mom.

"Mama, should we help Kaido? You two have some history, after all."

Big Mom grinned as she popped a cream puff into her mouth, savoring the taste.

"Mama~ You underestimate that fool, Perospero. Wano is his territory. If he can't even protect his own turf, then he has no right to be called an Emperor."

At Marine Headquarters, the Three Admirals watched the live broadcast, their faces growing solemn. Only veterans like Sengoku and Garp could remain composed in the face of such monstrous power.

If any of them had to face Kaido one-on-one… it wouldn't end well. The sheer strength he displayed was beyond anything they had seen.

Garp, noticing their tense expressions, burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Scared already? If you knew what kind of monsters Roger had under him back in the day… You should remember, Kaido used to sail with Rocks."

Sengoku remained silent, lost in thought. He recalled the chaos from decades ago, when the Rocks Pirates ruled the seas. If the World Government hadn't wiped them out, the world today would have been a pirate's paradise.

"Whitebeard… He won't last much longer. But if this were his prime… he could knock Kaido flat with just a few punches."

The Admirals, outwardly composed, couldn't help but feel an unsettling chill. If that was the power of the previous generation… then they truly couldn't imagine the peak of Whitebeard's strength.

Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates were already en route to Marineford.

After capturing Ain, the wielder of the Return-Return Fruit, Whitebeard finally relented to his sons' pleas. His strength was now fully restored to its prime.

Gripping his naginata, Whitebeard's presence alone exuded absolute authority.

"World Government… You dared to lay hands on my son? I am Whitebeard! Let Kaido come—I don't fear him!"

---

At a small town near Marineford, Blackbeard bit into a massive hunk of roasted meat, laughing maniacally.

"Zehahaha! Old man… Your Tremor-Tremor Fruit will soon be mine."

Back at Wano, Kaido and Shanks had already clashed hundreds of times. Kaido's nearly indestructible body absorbed Shanks' blade strikes with ease, leaving only faint scratches.

At the same time, Kaido took all of Shanks' attacks head-on, proving their battle to be a true test of raw power. To onlookers, the fight seemed evenly matched, but both Yonko had the same thought—

"This guy… is unbelievably strong!"

Originally, they had expected to end the battle quickly. But now, they realized… this fight wouldn't be over anytime soon.

"Captain, do you need our help?" Benn Beckman asked, gripping his rifle.

Shanks wiped the sweat from his brow but maintained his usual grin.

"Even if you all attacked together, I doubt it would even scratch him. He's called the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air for a reason. His body is like armor—and he hasn't even used Armament Haki yet!"

Kaido's voice thundered across the battlefield.

"SHANKS!!! GET OUT OF WANO!!!"

Slamming his kanabo into the ground, he sent a violent shockwave through the air, kicking up a towering storm of dust.

Thunder crackled in the sky. The earth was torn apart.

A shadow loomed within the smoke, shifting and growing.

The Red-Haired Pirates—and everyone watching the broadcast—held their breath.

Then…

From the billowing dust, a massive dragon coiled into the sky, merging with the storm clouds. Thunder roared beneath its feet.

Kaido had transformed.

The Azure Dragon had descended.

In the Dragon Ball universe, Krillin clutched his Three-Star Dragon Ball, staring at it in disbelief.

"Wait… That's a dragon! Did someone already gather all seven Dragon Balls?!"

Goku, mid-training, clenched his fists, his Saiyan blood surging with excitement.

"This Kaido guy… He fights just like us! If I could fight him at the World Martial Arts Tournament… I need to get stronger!"

---

Back in the Scissor Seven universe, Seven drifted on a makeshift raft toward Xuanwu Nation, still recovering from his last mission.

"Whoa! He can turn into a dragon?! That's so cool! At least I made the ranking list… even if it's just 10th place. Better than not being there at all!"

---

Back to Wano.

Kaido let out a monstrous roar, shaking the very heavens.

"Azure Dragon's Breath!!!"

A devastating blast of energy erupted from his maw, engulfing the battlefield in a storm of destruction.

The world watched in stunned silence.

The battle of legends had only just begun.
