----------------------------------------------

"I should have dealt with you back at Water-7…" Basara muttered as he saw the carnage.

The entire first wall had been cracked and ruptured while barely 100 marines remained.

"Zephyr may have failed but I shall eliminate you now!"

'He isn't as strong as current Whitebeard but a powerhouse nonetheless. Plus, he's in his absolute prime right now.' Damien thought in his head.

'Perfect to test out my new capabilities.'

*RUMBLE*

The island groaned as pieces of earth were literally snatched from their gold, accumulating into a mountain floating in the sky.

.

"Trembling Earth - Excalibur!"

.

Basara wasted no time as the flying mountain started to shave away, forming a grand sword made of earth.

*VWOOOOO*

The atmosphere wailed in torment as the gigantic structure was sent raging down upon Damien.

The size was nearly 450 meters tall and 40 meters wide!

(450m ≈ Empire States Building to the tip)

.

The gargantuan sword rippled through the earth as it descended with enough power to level an island to rubble!

*FWOOOO*

The wind currents generated from this attack would surely send out large tsunamis at the very least.

.

Alas, it fell directly upon the Sin Incarnate who had a slightly troubled expression, 'Does this guy care little for collateral damage?'

*RUMBLE*

'Oh, no wonder, he made a cage around me to hold the blast…' Damien sighed as he saw the earth surround him.

.

The mountainous sword hit the ground and even Marineford felt its wrath, many islands away.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

----------------------------------------------

[East Side of G-2]

.

"You see that? The Admiral has arrived, you're already lost!" Vice Admiral Tierre exclaimed as the earthquake from Basara's move shook the entire island.

Pascal, the man of saké just smirked in reply, "The Commander will be fine, you should worry about yourself."

Heath was standing next to him with a little smile.

As for the others, they simply did as told, hold back the Vice Admirals.

.

"Very well, you can take your delusion to your grave!"

.

The fight continued.

Bozo the Pachycephalosaurus and Pablo vs Vice Admiral

Obazoba the Titanoboa and Juni vs Vice Admiral Shlong.

Pascal and Heath vs Vice Admiral Tierre.

----------------------------------------------

[Research Facility of G-2]

.

The lights were flickering on and off.

The scientists were running around like headless chickens as the marines were just as confused as the rest.

Dust rained down from the slowly-collapsing ceiling as panic flooded in.

.

Well, except for one person…

.

"WORORORO!" A laugh boomed. "Who is it? Who has you all so shaken?"

Kaido was having the time of his life.

.

*Sigh*

"Kaido-kun, it seems your friends have arrived," Vegapunk said with a troubled expression.

.

The transponder snail then reported to the entire base.

((THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ALL FORCES ARE TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!))

Vegapunk turned his attention to the marine Rear Admiral who rushed into the facility, "What is the matter?"

The man was slightly on edge, "Dr. Vegapunk… we must leave now! The Sin Incarnate and his forces have arrived on the island with far greater strength than expected!"

The scientist was hesitant, "What of Kaido-kun, he is quite the specimen!"

The Rear Admiral shook his head, "My responsibility is your safety, doctor. We must leav-"

.

"AOUGGGHHH!" Kaido thundered out as the nearby equipment was blown out. "DAMIEN!? HE'S GONNA RUB THIS IN FOREVER!"

.

*Creak*

The chains holding the beast down started to shake under his rage, the IVs supplying the serums had begun to run out as some liquids dripped down from the falling rocks.

"OUGGHHH!"

His muscles bulged as the veins popped out, his fight spirit materialized in a black aura as his eyes glowed red in fury.

.

The Rear Admiral gulped, 'I did not sign up for this…'

"Doctor, let's leave… NOW!"

And so they ran away, hastily.

----------------------------------------------

[West Entrance of G-2]

.

G-2 had 7500 soldiers of which 4000 were incapacitated.

The remaining 1500 in the base got in formation with the 2000 guarding the second wall as they met another force.

Indra, Thane and Bazoon.

"OUGHHHHH!"

A loud roar echoed through the halls as the lights shifted on and off, making for a rather terrifying scene.

Indra, however, was there during the Encephala Island Raid and had fought alongside Kaido so he picked it up immediately, "Thane, I'll go find the Beast. You should go to the storage area."

He then smirked, "You know the boss likes to steal fruits and treasures."

Thane nodded as he soru-ed away.

.

Indra then turned towards the other pirate.

"Bazoon," The man looked at Indra, "Go crazy."

Bazoon the Berserker gave out a menacing grin as his broadsword smashed on the ground as he heard the marines gather up.

----------------------------------------------

[Main Entrance]

.

"Y-You think he's dead?" A marine asked.

The man beside him nodded, "*Cough* *Cough* Of course he's dead! That was a freaking mountain the Taishō dropped on him! There's no way he survived that."

[A/N: Taishō meaning Admiral]

.

Basara narrowed his eyes at the wreckage, waiting.

*RUMBLE*

The ground shook.

The ginormous pieces of the destroyed sword made of hill-sized rocks started to move.

Boom!

A 70-meter wide boulder was suddenly launched from the ground as it rocketed towards the floating Admiral.

Basara waved his hand as the piece of earth was pushed aside as he heard a sharp voice.

.

"You throw another mountain at me and I'm gonna lose it."

.

It was a casual voice as a black shadow that started to slowly fly in the sky, not even using the air to float, but actually fly.

Damien was now eye-level with Basara as he gave a smirk to the scowling marine.

.

"You… What a terrifying endurance to shake off a mountain of that size. Colour me impressed, young pirate." Basara said in slight surprise.

Damien chuckled, "Well, I'm something, aren't I?"

*Pat* *Pat*

He then patted his attire, trying to remove some non-existent dust.

.

Basara gave out a sigh, "Unlike Garp, I do not like to 'test' my foes. Come, boy!"

'Soru'

He then disappeared in a flash as he suddenly appeared behind Damien in less than a tenth of a second.

BAM!

A black fist smashed forth.

*FWOOO*

Yet it hit nothing but air as an explosion went off from it.

'What speed…' Basara thought, 'No… his body dodged before I attacked.'

He gave out a grim scowl, "Your Observation exceeds mine, you are a greater threat than I expected!"

*RUMBLE*

All of a sudden, the entire island below started to warp and mould as the Admiral raised his hands in the air.

"You think I'll just wait for you to complete your attack?" Damien asked as he shot forth.

His arm shined a gleaming black as a bubble of Ryou was added.

.

It smashed upon the Admiral's chest.

'Tekkai - Go!'

'Hardening.'

Basara used the absolute version of Iron Body as a black coating was applied onto it.

BAM!

The punch connected.

"Ugh!"

The Admiral was pushed back!

A drop of blood streamed out of his lower lip, "Emission technique as well, Zephyr did not report this…"

Gaining enough room, Basara resumed his attack.

The ground below once again started to terraform as huge blotches of land were raised up. Giant balls of earth.

*FWOOO*

Huge amounts of air were displaced as the newly crafted structures cast a shadow that encompassed all of G-2!

.

"Trembling Earth - Ravaging Earth Storm!"

.

Damien was rather shocked.

Basara now floated in the air with tens of mountains raised behind him as they started to create their own gravitational pull!

[A/N: Image]

.

'This is the power of the marines' top powerhouses eh?' Damien thought as he saw the display.

.

He then put out his left hand as a shadow warped around it, moulding into his grasp.

*VWOOOO*

The air was cut apart as torrents of air raged down to the marines below as the weapon was made clear.

"Allow me to render your little rocks to dust."

.

Basara squinted his eyes upon the weapon and felt the fluctuations that seemed eerily familiar to Whitebeard's glaive and Roger's saber.

.

"Very well!"

His words out, Basara simply pushed forth his arms as a gesture to advance.

*FWOOO* *SKRRRRR*

Tornadoes were created as vortices formed from the charging landmasses.

Damien readied his Ryushi as the blades started to exude a mist so overwhelming that it was crushing the air to void.

.

Boom!

A sonic boom shattered the air as the Sin Incarnate rocketed forth, a madman charging at oncoming mountains!

*Swing*

He simply reined back his weapon as some Ryou was added into it.

And slashed down towards the first mountain.

BOOOOM!

The mountain trembled in the sky as large boulders rained down upon the ever-collapsing base.

*WRRRRRR*

The mountain then changed into a red pattern as it was slowly reduced to dust!

.

Damien did not halt, he kept racing forth towards the frowning Admiral as the mountains kept on coming.

BOOM!

BAM!

*SLASH!*

*RUMBLE*

BOOOM!

*CRASH!*

KABOOM!

One by one, the floating island-destroyers were pulverized into microscopic particles.

.

The path cleared as Basara was caught lacking.

Damien did not miss the chance.

.

"Crimson Comet!"

.

His body suddenly exploded into a red shooting star as it shot forth with unending momentum. Ryushi raised forwards as the 2 clawed-blades were shaking in impatience.

BOOOOOOOOM!

A rather jaw-dropping display remained for the lucky survivors as they saw a flash of red in the sky clash upon the floating admiral, as the latter used his powerful Haki to combat it.

Yet he was sent flying back all the same into the ground.

*GRRRRRRRRRRR*

A wide road of utter destruction followed the Admiral as he went rocketed through from the powerful attack.

----------------------------------------------

[West Side of G-2]

.

As the chaos ensued in the base, Damien's division mates followed through with their orders.

Bazoon was going on a frenzy, slaughtering the thousands of marines that remained.

BOOM!

Waving down his mighty sword, he cut down the numbers astonishingly fast.

"DAMN PIRATE!"

A few surviving Rear Admirals raged on as they clashed with the pirate.

.

"BAZOZOZOZO! THAT'S THE STUFF!"

----------------------------------------------

[Research Facility]

.

*Creak!*

The chains wailed once more as they suddenly gave up.

*Snap*

Kaido was finally free!

Each step he took sent out mini tremors as he had reached maturity in the sense of age.

He was now around 28-feet tall! (8.5 meters)

.

"WORORORO! These damn chains…"

*Crack*

He cracked his shoulders as the brute strength flooded his body, invigorating his spirit.

*Thud*

A shadow flashed in front of him.

"Kaido, you are free..."

Indra had arrived.

"You're Damien's stooge. Cheh, I'll beat him up soon anyways…" He hmphed as his Haki raged out.

"Take me to the fight!"

----------------------------------------------

[Main Entrance]

.

Boom!

Basara shot out from the ground, his chest bleeding profusely.

*Cough*

He spat out some drops of blood as he was quite pissed.

.

"...Not even 18 years of age and you can already reach this level. If it weren't for Xebec I'd say you would be the main problem of the marines. A pity you won't make it out of here alive."

Damien landed on the ground, his eyes squinted as his weapon pulsed with anger.

.

'This is quite a lot,' He thought as his Observation scanned the Admiral.

*RUMBLE*

The ground shook once more.

*RUMBLE*

It was like a heartbeat.

*RUMBLE*

At this point, G-2 was nothing but some walls as the ground all over the island was swimming as if it were a liquid.

Heck, even trees, metals, corpses, blood, water, everything was changing into rocks and adding to the river of earth.

.

"Awakened fruit power!" Damien exclaimed as he saw it.

.

'Changing matter into a different element to aid in your attacks… He's converting everything into earth and moulding it into whatever he desires.' He concluded.

The rumbling concluded as a behemoth of a structure stood before the Sin Incarnate. Stretching a shadow that stretched for kilometers on out.

.

"Trembling Earth Colossus!"

.

It was a humanoid, gargantuan ability with Basara at its core. It stood nearly 500 meters in height as dust rained down from its glory.

Twin swords in both hands as mountains floated around its body, a fear-inducing sight.
