While Trafalgar Law was still sweating, he sensed the aura of an ancient beast slumbering within the skull below.
Quinn's expression changed below:
"It's you! That lightning brat!"
Although Enel was still a child back then, his basic appearance hadn't changed much.
Especially that infuriating tone, which immediately reminded Quinn of this guy.
King transformed into his human form and placed his hand on his sword hilt:
"What lightning brat?"
"This guy is a candidate for Marine Headquarters Admiral, 'White Dragon' Enel."
"Idiot Quinn."
Veins bulged on Quinn's forehead:
"I know more than you do, you imbecile King!"
"This guy is Sakazuki's confidant."
He turned to Enel:
"What are you doing here, Enel?"
His hands, however, became defensive, ready to erupt at any moment.
Enel looked at him with the expression of someone looking at an idiot:
"Of course, I have something to discuss with you."
"Otherwise, why would I, a Marine, be here?"
"Idiot Quinn."
"Call your boss out."
"To discuss a cooperation project that concerns your future."
Quinn first glared at King, then transformed into his Brachiosaurus form:
"There's nothing good to discuss between pirates and Marines."
King also drew his sword.
Enel remained cross-legged on one of the horns, propping his chin with his hand as he looked down.
On the other skull horn, Law shouted with a sweaty face:
"That guy is awake."
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
Heavy footsteps, accompanied by the gradually surging Conqueror's Haki, sounded like war drums.
A figure with a spiked club and a grim expression walked out of the skull.
Kaido emerged from the great hall, turned, and slightly raised his head, saying in a deep voice:
"You just said... cooperation?"
Enel's tone was light:
"Ah, that's right."
"Cooperation."
Kaido suddenly let out a sinister laugh:
"Sakazuki and Sengoku have just broken ties."
"And you're looking for pirates to cooperate with in the blink of an eye, how interesting..."
"Has Sakazuki forgotten the hatred between us?"
"He actually sent someone to their death."
As soon as the words fell, Kaido infinitely stretched upwards, transforming into a giant azure dragon, energy surging in his mouth:
"Boro Breath!!!"
Violent killing intent and Conqueror's Haki pressed down on Enel. Enel let out a soft huff.
Zzzzz—
He vanished.
Kaido's giant dragon eyes looked at Law.
Seeing the pressure shift towards him, Law cursed inwardly, damn that lightning bastard... I knew it...
Without hesitation, he extended his hand, the circle spinning rapidly:
"Room!!!"
Swish—
He teleported away.
A large rock appeared in his original spot, which was then torn to shreds by the wind blades of the turbulent wind.
Law, who had just teleported away, was about to move again.
He was locked onto by Haki. King's long sword was engulfed in flames, and a fiery dragon directly slashed out:
"Dragon's Roar!"
Law drew his long sword and met the attack with his Haki.
Clang! 138 Reading Net
He was forced back continuously.
Swish—
King's sword loosened its grip and directly cleaved into the ground, creating a large pit. Law teleported away again.
On the other side.
Kaido, who had transformed into a giant azure dragon, suddenly looked up.
A blinding white light erupted, making the entire Onigashima as bright as day.
The light made even Kaido's dragon eyes squint.
Boom!
A lightning giant tens of meters tall descended from the clouds.
Moving at an extreme speed, too fast to react, it grabbed Kaido's neck with one hand and thrust a thunderous Koma (magic wand) with the other.
The lightning giant and the giant azure dragon crashed to the ground, shaking the island.
Crackling sounds erupted, but the compressed lightning, formed into a Koma, did not inflict much damage on Kaido.
Kaido twisted his body and directly broke free.
His cavernous mouth opened wide, biting into the lightning giant's shoulder and tearing half of its body apart.
The lightning giant did not resist. Instead, it looked at the azure dragon gathering energy in its mouth and taunted:
"In business, you're suppressed by Hearnock."
"In prestige, you're suppressed by Charlotte Linlin."
"In strength, you're overtaken by Red-Haired Shanks."
"In..."
Boom!!!!
The Boro Breath collided with the lightning giant, exploding.
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, causing the entire Land of Wano to tremble violently, as if an earthquake...
At the center of the explosion.
Kaido transformed back into his human form, his face grim:
"It's truly in the same vein as Sakazuki."
"I really want to tear your mouth open and see..."
"Brat."
Enel also condensed his form and stood opposite him:
"But you're too slow."
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a Den Den Mushi, and tossed it towards Kaido:
"Take this."
Snap!
Kaido raised his hand to catch it.
Enel smiled and shouted to Law, who was being cornered and fighting two opponents:
"Let's go!"
Then he transformed into lightning and disappeared.
Law, in a sorry state, teleported away to dodge sword light and laser beams... Cursing, he activated his ability.
Swish—
With their target gone, King and Quinn transformed back into their human forms and walked towards Kaido.
"Brother Kaido."
"Boss."
Kaido nodded, his expression calm, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and pressed the button.
Beep~
The Den Den Mushi powered on, emitted a beep, and then its expression changed.
Sakazuki's indifferent voice came from the other end:
"Kaido..."
Kaido's voice, tinged with killing intent, rang out:
"Sakazuki..."
-------------
A moment later.
Kaido hung up the Den Den Mushi with a blank expression.
Quinn, who had heard the entire conversation, looked astonished, while King frowned.
Kaido suddenly laughed:
"Barorororo!!!"
"Interesting, too interesting."
"A deal I can't refuse."
"King, go gather information and prepare."
King hesitated:
"Brother Kaido."
"The Revolutionary Army is causing trouble in the Four Seas, and the Marines are splitting up now."
"Sakazuki's goal is clearly to throw the New World into chaos as well."
"To buy time for the Marines."
"If we do this, aren't we playing right into his hands?"
Kaido's eyes narrowed:
"So what?"
"The benefits we can gain are something we simply cannot refuse."
"And we don't need to pay anything."
"This is the terrifying part of that guy..."
Not only is he ruthless, but his heart is also dark...
Even if he's scheming against you, you can't refuse... after all, you gain too much...
His wariness of Sakazuki increased several notches.
Hearing this, King also fell silent, indeed...
Putting aside the opposition between Marines and pirates, this transaction is truly irresistible.
And even with the opposition, there's no need for sentimentality...
The Four Emperors already have their own conflicts, Sakazuki is scheming against others, and they just need to pick up the scraps.
Sakazuki's goal is obvious, he doesn't even hide it, to muddy the waters of the New World.
But the immense benefits make it impossible for them to refuse, and since it's a scheme against others, how can they refuse...
King took a deep breath:
"I understand."
"I'll go gather information now."
