A mere Heat Wave is nothing but showing off in front of Rayquaza, who can control the weather.
It's as if no one else has fire abilities.
With a thought from Kane, the high-temperature Heat Wave that had originally enveloped him, attempting to roast him, obediently detached from his body and gathered within the dragon's mouth.
"Return to sender!"
"Heat Wave!"
Under Kane's control, a more scorching and violent airflow than when Oven released it tore through the air, roaring as it shot back towards Oven on the ground.
What?
How is this possible!
Oven's pupils contracted sharply, and his mind went blank.
But the reality before him told him that all of this was true; the Heat Wave he created was indeed blown back by the opponent in an even more terrifying manner.
Whoosh—
The Heat Wave instantly engulfed Oven completely.
Because of the Hot-Hot Berry, the Heat Wave's temperature did not cause substantial damage to Oven, but the overwhelming, violent airflow still suppressed him, rendering him unable to move, and directly blew him away.
"Ugh!"
Oven slammed heavily onto the muddy ground, the powerful inertia making him tumble like a rag doll, plowing a deep gully several tens of meters long into the earth.
Damn it!
Oven struggled to crawl out of the mud pit, his face smeared with mud and a mixture of intense unwillingness and humiliation.
He was a man destined to be a Sweet Commander; how could he fall so miserably in a place like this!
Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught sight of the ocean not far away.
Got it.
Oven's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran towards the seaside.
His arms had already turned fiery red and scalding as he ran, emitting a high temperature that distorted the air.
"Hoo Ah—!"
Oven roared, plunging his hands, which resembled hot irons, into the seawater.
Sizzle! ! !
A piercing vaporization sound exploded.
In a moment, the calm sea surface, centered on his hands, began to churn and bubble wildly.
The azure seawater rapidly changed color under the terrifying high temperature, instantly transforming into a boiling, churning, orange-red hot sea emitting deadly Heat Waves.
"Try this!"
"Heat Sea: Myriad Arrivals!"
As Oven roared, the center of the boiling hot sea suddenly exploded.
A massive column of water, more than ten meters in diameter and as scorching as magma, rose up and shot violently towards Kane in the sky.
"Oh? Playing with hot water attacks?"
"Then I'll respond with this move!"
"Ice Beam!"
Kane opened his mouth, and the energy within his body transformed into extreme cold air, gushing out towards the hot water column.
Bang!
The cold air and the hot water column clashed, resulting in a massive explosion.
At the center of the explosion, the hot water column continuously vaporized, forming a huge cloud of steam that instantly obscured Kane's figure.
Katakuri, who was currently fighting King, suddenly shivered, and his eyes instantly erupted with unprecedented panic and rage, as if he had seen a terrible future.
"Hmm? You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
King's tone was playful: "Did you see a bad future?"
As one of the New World's top experts, Katakuri mastered the advanced Observation Haki technique known as Future Sight.
With this technique, he could even make his Mochi-Mochi Berry exhibit elementalization effects.
Good opportunity!
"Arrow Imperial!"
King's eyes lit up, and he took advantage of Katakuri's momentary distraction to spread his wings and launch a fierce attack.
Hit him while he's down.
King had no intention of a fair duel.
This was a battlefield; only the victor could have everything.
Facing King's torrent-like offensive, Katakuri ignored it, even abandoning defense in certain areas and taking several heavy blows head-on, causing blood to spill from his mouth.
His gaze was fixed on his brother by the sea, and he shouted with all his might:
"Oven, jump into the sea! As deep as possible! !"
Any later…
The terrifying future he foresaw, the future where his brother was instantly annihilated, would become reality.
"What?" Oven was greatly alarmed.
Whoosh—
The instant Katakuri's words fell, a black meteor tore through the steam cloud, heading straight for Oven.
"Double-Edge!"
In a mere few seconds, Kane, who had been high in the sky, descended to the mortal world.
Kane curled his massive, pitch-black dragon body into a ball, like an asteroid impact, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy and pressure, and directly crashed into the coastline where Oven was located.
Boom! ! !
A terrifying explosion, loud enough to tear eardrums, resounded across the entire battlefield.
Soil and rocks were blasted tens of meters into the air like a geyser.
The nearby seawater was forced back by this world-destroying power, forming several giant waves tens of meters high, revealing the seabed that had never seen the light of day below.
Any Pirates near the coast were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, blood gushing from their noses and mouths, screaming as they were violently flung away, their fates unknown.
In an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent.
"You're kidding, right~" Smoothie stopped her movements, her gaze blank as she looked in the direction of Kane's impact.
Where the flat coastline once stood, there was now a sudden, enormous, bottomless crater!
The backflowing seawater was roaring deafeningly, surging wildly into it.
It was foreseeable that after the war, this place would directly form a natural deep-water port.
Even Queen's eyeballs popped out of their sockets in shock, breaking his sunglasses.
How could Kane be so strong!
Kizaru, who was slacking off at the edge of the battlefield, had the same question.
"My, my, these young people nowadays are truly amazing."
Kizaru pushed up his brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, speaking in his characteristic teasing tone.
However, the shock in his wide-open eyes beneath the sunglasses was unmistakable.
He probably couldn't completely stand by during this war between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
In the distance, Katakuri, who had withstood a series of fierce attacks from King and had several cuts on his body, disregarded his own injuries and loudly ordered:
"Aladdin, Praline! Go save Oven!"
"Yes!"
The Fishman couple immediately left the battle and rushed into the surging seawater at top speed to rescue Oven.
"Hmph, do you still have time to care about family now, Katakuri?"
The usually cold King's tone rarely carried a hint of admiration, but his actions became even more aggressive.
The best respect for an enemy is to use all your strength!
Thud!
A Dragon Claw grabbed the edge of the pit.
Kane, who had transformed into his Human-Dragon form, leaped out of the deep pit, looking a bit disheveled.
"Hiss, my whole body is screaming."
Kane clutched his waist, grimacing.
He should have known better than to test such a health-draining ultimate move on Oven.
The cost-effectiveness was too low!
"Bastard! You dared to beat my brother to the point of being on the verge of death!"
A man with short yellow hair, wearing a blue cotton jacket, and a belt with a lamp motif around his waist, jumped out, his face filled with grief and indignation.
"I, Charlotte Daifuku, will make you pay the price now!"
Saying that, he stretched out his hands and began to rub his abdomen vigorously, and a gray mist floated out from it.
The next second, a lamp genie, entirely blue-purple and wielding a long-handled greatsword, materialized from the gray mist.
