ROAR!

An Azure Dragon weaved through the clouds, Flame Clouds pulsing beneath its claws, allowing its massive body to soar through the sky. This was the special ability granted by the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Azure Dragon—Flight.

"Kaido... How terrifying," Kizaru murmured. His usual lazy demeanor gone, his eyes grave behind his sunglasses.

Their plan was to lure out Big Mom. They had succeeded, but Kaido had arrived as well. With two Emperors working together, their three Admirals no longer held the advantage.

Especially since one of them was Kaido—whose Haki, stamina, and combat skills were all at the absolute pinnacle of the seas, a veritable super-hexagonal warrior.

If not for Sky Sovereign Rowen’s emergence, the title of ’World’s Strongest in a One-on-One’ would still belong to Kaido.

Though Big Mom’s raw stats were more astonishing, Kaido’s actual combat performance was far superior.

Kizaru didn’t blame the intelligence department for failing to track Kaido. As a user of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Azure Dragon, Kaido could fly freely through the clouds.

He often went on drunken rampages across the world, even seeking various ways to commit suicide for fun.

Tracking such a man was a fool’s errand.

Of course, the Navy had prepared for Kaido’s potential appearance.

"KAIDO! YOU BRAT! YOU JUST WATCHED ME GET BEATEN UP!" Big Mom roared, utterly furious.

The reason she and Kaido had allied was to prevent being picked off one by one by Sky Sovereign Rowen.

Since she was here, Kaido was naturally nearby.

But Kaido was only her ally—he wasn’t her subordinate. He certainly wouldn’t intervene just to save her children. But if she herself were pushed to the brink, Kaido wouldn’t just stand by.

And the reason Kaido had waited for her to call for help before acting—

"Hmph! Linlin! Remember... you owe me a favor," Kaido snorted, exhaling a plume of dragon’s breath.

Back at God Valley—she had given him the Azure Dragon fruit, one of the prizes in the Celestial Dragons’ hunting game.

The old hag had held that "LIFELONG DEBT" over his head ever since.

Now, this was his chance to even the score. By saving her and her crew from annihilation at the hands of three Admirals—this old hag would owe him a MASSIVE favor.

The reason Kaido waited for Big Mom to call for help was precisely for this.

As for denying it? Powerhouses at their level had their pride. And reneging on a debt would also affect one’s Haki.

(Just as, in the original story, when Big Mom said giving the fruit to Kaido was a lifelong debt, Kaido had only replied, "Say what you will," never denying the favor.)

<><><><><><><><>

"Hmph." Big Mom snorted coldly, not denying the great favor.

"Hmph!" Seeing Big Mom acknowledge it, Kaido’s mood improved considerably.

Finally, he wouldn’t have to listen to this old hag nagging about that old favor anymore.

"Marines," Kaido’s gaze fell upon the massive Marine fleet.

This was, without a doubt, an epic war. If not for needing to conserve his energy to deal with Sky Sovereign Rowen—Kaido would have loved to join forces with Big Mom and fight this war with the Navy to the very end!

"GET LOST, MARINES! I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT YOU RIGHT NOW!" Kaido roared, unleashing a blast of dragon’s breath.

"Emperor Kaido, what a powerful presence. But once a Buster Call is activated—there is no possibility of a premature termination," Kizaru, as a veteran Admiral, was the absolute commander of this operation.

"You think three Admirals can stop the two of us? How arrogant, Kizaru!" Kaido’s eyes gradually darkened.

"Facing two Emperors, three Admirals are indeed somewhat insufficient. But..." Kizaru’s lips curved into a smile of unknown meaning.

WHOOSH!

A terrifying slash erupted from a Marine warship!

"Huh??" The terrifying attack power of the slash, far exceeding that of a normal Yonko Commander, made even Kaido’s brow furrow slightly.

"DON’T GET TOO COCKY!" Kaido roared, his Azure Dragon body moving violently, directly shattering the slash.

"Does the Navy have another swordsman of this caliber?" Though he shattered the attack, Kaido frowned. Such attack power had already surpassed the Yonko Commander level.

Then, Kaido looked towards the figure who had launched the slash, and his pupils constricted.

"This is...??" Kaido murmured, looking at the familiar yet strange figure.

"Seraphim... what a terrifying attack. As expected of Dr. Vegapunk’s greatest creation," Marine HQ Vice Admiral Pomsky, user of the Sea Otter-Sea Otter Fruit, smiled.

Beside Pomsky stood a figure. Holding a sharp sword, with white short hair, brown skin, and star-like patterns in his eyes. The most prominent feature was the black wings on his back and the flames burning on them.

Most importantly—this figure’s appearance was identical to the Warlord, the World’s Greatest Swordsman, Hawk-Eyes Mihawk—albeit a younger, smaller version.

"A LUNARIAN!" Kaido’s eyes narrowed.

White hair, brown skin, black wings on their back, and burning flames—these were all characteristics of the Lunarian—nearly extinct race, once hailed as Gods.

His most valued subordinate, his second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates, King the Wildfire, was one of the last surviving Lunarians.

"A Lunarian? How is that possible??" Big Mom also stared in disbelief. Her Totto Land lacked only a few races.

The Lunarian race was one of them, and one Big Mom desired most. She had always wanted to recruit Kaido’s King, but knowing Kaido’s history, she knew King’s loyalty to him was absolute—poaching was impossible.

"Not a Lunarian. The aura is wrong," Kaido’s Observation Haki was trained to its peak, unlike Big Mom’s, which was inferior to some Yonko Commanders, he immediately sensed something was off about the person’s aura.

"Well said. They are the Seraphim. The Strongest Form of Humanity," Kizaru said, issuing an order.

VMM!

A paw-shaped shockwave, compressed to its absolute limit, was thrown towards the pirate fleet!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The energy in the compressed air was instantly released, creating a terrifying explosion.

"D-Damn it! So strong!" Charlotte Daifuku’s Lamp-Lamp Fruit could create a genie to attack, his strength was very powerful.

Even among the Emperor’s top officers, Charlotte Daifuku’s strength was in the upper ranks.

But now, facing this terrifying attack, he was instantly defeated.

Only with the help of Katakuri and the others could he block this attack.

"Love-Love Mellow——!" A sweet voice sounded, and heart-shaped waves began to spread.

CLANG! CLANG!

What the hell is going on??
