"You miserable brat! You're still going on about being king of the pirates?!" Big Mom asked.

Kaido couldn't believe what was happening as he actually struggled to get up. "(His punch actually hurt me?)" he thought.

"Well, I sure didn't see that coming…" Hope said. "Looks like Luffy's picked up a new trick."

"It's gotta be that new Haki he learned from the old man." Zoro said.

"Hmm…Thunder…Bagua!" Kaido said, rushing both Luffy and Jexi.

"Yeesh…that does pack a punch." Jexi said as he and Luffy slowly got up.

"Good. You won't let the same one hit you dead on twice." Kaido said.

"Heavenly…" Big Mom said coming at them with Prometheus.

"Foxfire Style: Flame Rend!" Zoro said, cutting Prometheus into multiple pieces.

"Whoa…that's the same as Kin'emon's." Luffy said.

"Heh. I stole it." Zoro said.

"Look out!" Jexi called out as Kaido was coming in.

"Shambles!" Trafalgar Law said as he pulled Luffy away from the attack.

"I got it!" Siege exclaimed as he got between Kaido and Luffy, raising the hellfire Ragnell up and blocking Kaido's blow!

"Rar!" Kaido said as he pushed Siege back.

"This will end those fools! Heavenly Bonbons!" Big Mom said as Prometheus spat out several fireballs at the fighters.

"You need to chill out!" Siege exclaimed as he jumped back and pulled out a spell card. "Declare Spell: Glacial Sign: Obsolete Freeze!" Siege exclaimed as ice rushed into the area all around them, chilling and nullifying the fireballs as icicles of deep cold shot at Kaido and Big Mom.

"Bastard!" Prometheus said, breathing fire to melt away the ice.

"Ohohoh listen to who's talkin'!" Siege shouted as he leapt towards Prometheus, carving through the flames. "IGNIS!" Siege yelled as he slammed hellfire Ragnell harshly into Prometheus!

"Grrr." Big Mom growled.

"Stand back, Linlin. I want to see what they can do." Kaido said.

"You just can't help yourself, can you?" Big Mom said standing back.

"And I was only getting started…" Siege said in annoyance as he backed off Big Mom and returned attention to Kaido.

"Well, here we go." Hope said.

"Don't get in the way, Hitokiri Kamazo." Zoro smirked, tightening his bandanna and rushing to join the fight.

"Roronoa… if you appeared when I was fighting David and if I had my punishers, you and him would both be dead." Killer said.

"Nah. Result would have been the same." Zoro said as the two rushed at Kaido. "Three Sword Style! Purgatory…"

Both of them then slashed at Kaido.

"Oni Giri!"

"Beheading Claws!"

Kaido swayed back but stopped as he was almost unharmed. "Worororororo! Well done!" Kaido laughed.

"Let's end this!" Jexi said as he and the other leaders rushed at Kaido. "Ultimate Color…"

"Gear Fourth! Gum Gum…" Luffy said.

"Punk Rotten!" Kidd called out.

"Room!" Trafalgar Law said as he prepared a room.

"Spectral Baritsu: Earth Kata!" Hope said gathering rocks and earth energy around his fist.

"Wrath! Dodon Ray, Times Four!" Mark called out as he pointed with four arms, red energy blasts shooting out of each finger and combining into one blast.

"Judgement Blade!" Siege remarked, as he sliced through the air with a powerful downwards strike.

"Raging Fist!"

"Kong Gun!"

"Punk Vise!"

"Takt!"

"Gaia Haymaker!"

All these attacks hit Kaido dead on as he was soon buried under a mountain of rubble.

"Did…did that get him?" Hope asked.

"No…not by a long shot." Jexi said.

'Wororororo!" Kaido laughed as he flew out of the rubble in dragon form. "Wororororo! It would almost be a shame to kill you all but there is no other way. Once you're dead, we'll take all you have. All your manpower and your treasure."

"I think you have some Poneglyphs too." Big Mom said.

"The ones who win this…will be closer to being King of the Pirates!" Kaido said.

"Demolition Gust!" Kaido called, blasting his razor sharp wind attack. Everybody avoided it, but one of the arms on Kidd's golem got sliced off.

"Kidd!" Killer called out.

"It's fine. It was scrap to begin with." Kidd said, pulling it back together.

"Gum Gum…Kong….Rifle!" Luffy said landing a punch to Kaido's head. Kidd followed it up by grabbing Kaido while he was reeling.

"Slam…" Kidd said as he smashed Kaido into the ground. "Gibson!"

"I've never seen an anatomical chart for a dragon. But I assume the heart is…right here! Gamma Knife!" Trafalgar Law called out as he stabbed Kaido above his scar.

"Hmm…these fools know how tough my defense is. Seems they aren't mindless idiots relying on guts." Kaido said.

Killer jumped onto Kaido's back and ran up his body from behind.

"The toughness of his scales has caused us enough trouble. I just need to cut past them to the inside!" Killer said as he carved into Kaido. "Scyther Sonic!" he said before a bolt of lightning struck him.

"Indra!" Big Mom called out as Killer fell off Kaido. "Mamamama! So long as you are under open sky, there is no escape for any of you!"

"They're even more vexing than I thought!" Kaido said, aiming to eat Killer alive.

"Oh no you don't!" Hope said, running up to Kaido and leaping into the air. "Mark, ready to punch Kaido for the first time?! I'll give you a hand!"

"Oh hell yeah!" Mark said in excitement as he leaped up to join Hope.

Hope grabbed Mark by the arm and spun him around. "All YOURS!" he threw him Roller Derby Whip style right at the King of Beasts.

"HEY KAIDO!" Mark shouted as bright orange lines appeared on his arm. "This one's for the Scabbards! GO TO HELL!"

BURST

The half-angel landed his punch on the dragon man's face, knocking his head back a little, before he glared at the two and charged up a Blast Breath.

"Not on MY WATCH!" Siege yelled. "ASTRA!" He yelled, striking Kaido with rapid strikes using his hellfire Ragnell.

"Stubborn brats!" Kaido vexed, aiming to fire his attack off anyway.

"Flame Rend!" Zoro called out as he cut the blast in two. "One Sword Style! Flying Dragon…Blaze!" he said. Although he had missed Kaido, the attack went and sliced off one of the horns on the skull dome. "Damn. Missed."

"That katana… why do I feel Oden's presence from it?" Kaido pondered.

"Mamamama! No escape for you brats! God of Lightning! Tenjin!" Big Mom called out as lightning bombarded the battlefield.

"What is with this…what the?" Jexi said seeing the lightning had a face as he took some of it. "Homies. Meaning these are homing attacks."

"Perfect Guard!" Siege yelled, standing his ground and summoning an energy shield to block the attacks, even dashing to other shots and absorb them up while he could. "There, that should mitigate damage."

"Thanks Siege!" Hope said. "But theres no need to fear for Luffys safety." he pointed to see Luffy still in the air perfectly fine.

"Oh I know. I was more focused on you guys." Siege said, as he looked at the field of battle and silently cursed. 'These guys… I'd rather not get them involved in some of my attacks but with close quarters with everyone, I'm extremely limited with what I can do here! …I just need an opening to single out Kaido or Big Mom and let them have it in full.'

"How is he not affected by the lighting?!" Big Mom said.

"He's made of rubber, y'know!" Hope called.

"Blast Breath!" Kaido called out as he attacked Luffy as he stood there unharmed. "How does he resist fire?"

"Guts!" Luffy said. "Gum Gum…Kong Gatling!" he called out as he rapidly punched Kaido.

'Maybe this is the opportunity I've needed…' Siege said as he looked towards Big Mom and rushed towards him, landing in front.

"What's this? Are you really going to try and take on someone like me?" Big Mom said raising Napoleon up high as Prometheus flew into him. "Happy Mother's…Blaze!" she said swinging it downward.

Siege simply smirked and stood there… before blocking the swing, holding Big Mom at bay!

"...What!?" Big Mom exclaimed.

"My attack range is pretty wide. So my friends can have Kaido… 1v1 against you is all I've asked for. And I've felled worse enemies than you." Siege smirked as he shoved up, hellfire Ragnell catching aflame more before revealing… it wasn't Ragnell at all. No.

It was Yato, merged with Ragnell as the spikes of Yato formed on the blade, and began to whir alive in a chainsaw fashion.

"Get ready for a beatdown you ain't EVER gonna forget." Siege smirked widely.

"Mamamama! You're just some smug little brat who needs a beating!" Big Mom laughed.

"Dream all you want. My sword will carve your skull in two when I'm done with you. For all those who have died on this journey!" Siege exclaimed.

"What does he think he's doing…?" Trafalgar Law said, heading to assist.

"Wait!" Hope said. "Let's see if he can actually do some real damage to her."

"Besides, our fight isn't over yet." Jexi said seeing Kaido getting up.

"Dragon Twister!" Kaido called out as wicked twisters started to spin across the battlefield.

The group facing Kaido couldn't help but be swept up in the storm. Zoro, who was ferrying Luffy after he had overused Gear Fourth, lost his grip as Luffy was pulled into the sky as Kaido chomped down on him.

"Oh no you don't! Three Sword Style…Black Rope Dragon Twister!" Zoro said as he cut into Kaido, forcing him to cough up Luffy.

"That brat…he actually managed to cut Kaido!" Big Mom said as she clashed with Siege.

"Worried about your friend? Don't worry." Siege laughed as he kicked Big Mom back with a huge boot. "I'm sure you'll both be reunited… IN THE PITS OF HELL!" Siege yelled as he pulled out a spell card. "Declare Spell: Destruction Sign: Complete Obliteration!"

Dark matter began forming around Siege, as he darkly laughed as it enhanced him, his eyes glowing red as he shot a blast at Big Mom, sending her flying even despite the monstrous defensive prowess Big Mom held!

"Did that hurt? Awww…. Probably because this enhancement carves through your defenses like butter. Now… PERISH." Siege darkly said as he summoned a demonic golden shotgun from the matter, racking a shell and firing at Big Mom.

"Not so fast! If anyones going to kill Linlin, it's me!" Kaido said, coiling up. "Dragon Twister Demolition Breath!" he called out as multiple whirlwinds whipped up around him and the battlefield.

"Oh why can't you just leave us be. We're having a blast!" Siege laughed, charging up the shotgun and firing a charged blast that shot right up towards Kaido to interrupt the attack.

"Okay… this is new by Siege standards." Hope said. "I've never seen him act like this."

"The sky's growing dark… I need a report, what the hell is going on over there!?" Rinkah exclaimed as she came over the comms after noticing a looming presence.

"Siege is taking on both Emperors on his own…and he's gone…dark happy. Like with a shotgun and everything." Jexi said.

"...Oh hell… do any of you know the spell or whatever he used just before this!?" Rinkah exclaimed.

"Destruction Sign: Complete Obliteration." Trafalgar Law said.

"It had to be THAT one he decided to use…" Rinkah growled as she cut off a bit to probably say some obscenities. "Alright, damnit. I know this. He used this back when he was in our world and it… well let's just say it wasn't pretty. You guys have to figure out a way to dispel that dark matter. While Siege can use it and deplete its summoning weapons and such, it builds over time, and he only saves this if he's feeling really negative thoughts… usually around someone's death." Rinkah explained.

"Well, he did get worked up after seeing the Red Scabbards all banged up. He thought they were close to dead before Law warped them away." Hope said.

"Yep. That would do it. Listen, the only way you're gonna get him back to his normal self is to convince him to let that Dark Matter loose rapidly. That's the safer bet anyways, tell him something like to focus fire on Big Mom and make sure to hit her hard or somethin'. That'll warrant a big usage of it. Might even dispel the card. …The flip side if that doesn't work isn't… As safe." Rinkah explained.

"And how do you expect us to do that?" Hope asked.

"Hang on, I got an idea." Mark spoke up before he cleared his throat. "Hey Siege! Odd time to say this, but quick trivia on Big Mom: she actually killed one of her kids when they tried to leave her! Any thoughts on that tidbit?"

"..." Siege was silent hearing that, causing his anger to flare more as suddenly, all the dark matter around him flowed into the golden demon shotgun for one final blow of this enhancement. "DIE!" Was all Siege yelled before…

KRAAAAABOOOOOM!

A massive shot, a massive explosion, and one hella huge dust cloud over Big Mom. Siege huffed as he panted from using that Spell Card before looking back at Mark. "...Haha… thanks. Let my anger get the best of me and used that card again… My bad!" Siege called back. "Thanks for reminding me that I should keep my emotions in check even if you inadvertently did it."

"No worries! I don't think Kin'emon and the others are dead yet. They still gotta protect their lord's son after all." Hope said.

"Well… that makes me feel better. But I'm still pissed." Siege said, turning to Big Mom. "And I doubt she's done." He said, re-drawing Yato-Ragnell.

"Mamamamama! Now that was something." Big Mom said as she still stood strong as Kaido was shrinking while looking monstrous within the dust cloud Siege created from his attack.

"Wait..is he…" Hope said.

"His hybrid form." Jexi said.

"Hey, Linlin. I'm starting to have some fun here." Kaido said.

"What a coincidence. I was thinking the exact same thing!" Big Mom said.

"Well now…" Siege chuckled. "The fight's really starting now isn't it? Good. I haven't even started reaching into my bag of tricks."

"Neither have we." Jexi said as he and the others prepared for Round 2.
