Kaido's monstrous form raged across the battlefield, his massive figure surrounded by Satoru's swirling energy spheres. These orbs attacked Kaido relentlessly, tearing at his flesh, yet they barely made a lasting impact. Kaido's recovery abilities were beyond comprehension—any damage inflicted healed almost instantly, leaving Satoru frustrated by the futility of his attacks.

With a thunderous swing of his mace, Kaido shattered the energy orbs, forcing Satoru to retreat. His figure blinked out of Kaido's sight and reappeared at the G8 Base's port.

The navy stationed there gasped as Satoru emerged. His once-pristine uniform was now in tatters, his body battered and bruised. Despite his state, he stood tall, his voice commanding authority.

"Evacuate immediately," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Take everyone and move as far from this base as possible."

"Sir?" one officer stammered, shocked by the command.

"This base isn't worth your lives," Satoru said firmly. "Kaido is beyond anything we've faced before. The yellow ape and I can't hold him off much longer. Your safety is our priority."

Reluctantly, the officers nodded, their respect for Satoru overpowering their hesitation.

"Lieutenant Kral, lead the evacuation. Now!"

"Yes, sir!" Kral saluted before rallying the troops to retreat.

Back on the battlefield, the yellow ape fought valiantly, his movements a blur of light as he battled Kaido head-on. However, it was clear the admiral was reaching his limit. Each clash of Kaido's mace against the yellow ape's light-formed blade drained him further.

Satoru returned just in time to see Kaido gaining the upper hand. Steeling himself, he struck from behind, delivering a precise and powerful blow directly to Kaido's shoulder.

A sharp *bang* echoed as Satoru's punch connected, forcing Kaido to pause. Taking advantage of the opening, the yellow ape launched a devastating lightsaber attack, piercing through Kaido's massive form.

For the first time in their battle, Kaido's wounds were severe. Blood poured from his body as the combined assault left him visibly shaken. But even as his injuries mounted, Kaido's resolve only grew fiercer.

"You two bastards…" Kaido growled, his voice dripping with venom.

Fueled by rage, Kaido retaliated with overwhelming force, aiming his mace at the yellow ape. The admiral narrowly avoided the blow by abandoning his lightsaber and reappearing in the sky.

"Eightfold Spear of Light!" the yellow ape roared.

A barrage of high-temperature lasers rained down, tearing through Kaido's body. The attack was relentless, leaving Kaido riddled with smoking, charred wounds. Yet, even this couldn't bring the Emperor of the Sea to his knees.

Panting heavily, the yellow ape dropped to one knee beside Satoru, his energy nearly spent.

"I don't think I've got much left in me, kid," he admitted, his usual cocky demeanor replaced by grim determination. "This monster's going to take us both down at this rate."

Satoru glanced at the admiral, then at Kaido, who stood defiant despite his injuries. "No," Satoru said, his eyes sharp with resolve. "Reinforcements are here."

The yellow ape blinked, confused. "Reinforcements? I don't sense anything—"

Before he could finish, a powerful aura filled the air. It was wild, primal, and nearly as overwhelming as Kaido's own.

Kaido turned, his expression darkening as he felt the presence approaching. A massive figure emerged from the horizon, stepping into view with an air of dominance.

The yellow ape's eyes widened. "That old man...he's here?"

Satoru smirked, his exhaustion momentarily forgotten. "Of course. He's my 'grandfather,' after all."

Kaido roared in fury, ready to face the new challenger as the tide of the battle began to shift once more.
