Total War

"Kanjuro?!"

The Orochi was so frightened that it frantically shrank back.

He didn't care about the death of this pawn, but Kanjuro was a decent fighter after all, and he was worried about what would happen if even he lost him.

"The Kurozumi Family is truly disgusting!"

Kaido took a deep breath, seemingly releasing much of his frustration, and then turned his gaze to the Orochi.

If it weren't for the Kurozumi Family's intervention, he might not have been able to win that battle twenty years ago.

But that battle was a humiliation he could never let go of for the rest of his life.

"Etc..."

The Orochi tried to struggle, but Kaido slammed it down with his club, unleashing lightning that smashed all seven of its heads to pieces in one blow.

The mighty Mythical Zoan Yamata no Orochi died so easily under Kaido's spiked club.

"How brutal!"

Chopper covered his face and hid behind Cifer.

"Is he/she dead...?"

Cifer's Neural Scan could no longer detect any signs of life in Momonosuke.

The person who supposedly enabled Wano Country to truly open its borders, stripped of his aura, is nothing more than a mudfish that can be easily crushed.

Cifer have never believed in fate.

"Momo ..."

Luffy was stunned. He never imagined that Kaido would take the initiative to attack Kanjuro first, and even involve Momonosuke in the process.

"How could this be..."

The Straw Hat Pirates and the others were all stunned.

One of the reasons for fighting Kaido was to help Momonosuke save his country.

But even if they had taken that attack head-on, they would have been in grave danger, let alone a tender little brat.

"Momonosuke- sama?!"

The remaining Eight Red Scabbards rushed out, praying that Momonosuke was still alive.

"Kaido!"

Luffy's emotions were ignited by anger. He shouted and activated his Bounce-Man form, leaping forward to stand in front of him.

"Gomu Gomu - King Kong Gun!"

The fist, covered in Armament Haki, kept contracting, accumulating extremely powerful force within it.

"Don't even think about touching Mr. Kaido!"

A streak of light flashed, and Jin drew his long sword and slashed towards Luffy. He didn't want the governor to waste any more energy before fighting that man.

In battles between beings of the Western Emperor's caliber, even a moment's carelessness could lead to defeat.

"You are the captain, don't get in my way!"

Zoro leaped into the air and unleashed three sword strikes in mid-air, blocking the All-Stars.

"Thunder Bagua!"

Kaido swung his staff again, colliding with Luffy's fist. After a brief moment of balance, the latter was blasted away.

"Luffy!"

Ace also got anxious, transforming into a flame and rushing towards Luffy's direction.

"Tch~"

Law thought Luffy would at least cause some trouble for the opponent, but he never expected that Luffy was all show and no substance.

"ROOM: Shambles!"

He raised his hand, and a hemispherical spatial vortex instantly formed, and he moved behind Kaido.

"Gamma Knife!"

An Inazuma, sharp as a blade, appeared in Law's hand and stabbed Kaido from behind.

"It's a little tingly, kid!"

Kaido's tail swirled upwards, ensnaring Law within it and tossing him into the air, then blasted him away like a baseball.

"Ulquiorra, do you remember me?"

Will had already leaped onto the attic, watching Cifer calmly drinking and fiddling with his fingers.

"I remember you said you wanted to surpass me."

The boy's spirited and carefree appearance reappeared in my mind.

"There's a saying in the West Blue: 'Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger,' and I am the raging wind!"

Will clapped his fists together, and black and white fur began to grow on his body. In the blink of an eye, he became a half-human, half-tiger.

"I'm going to go!"

After Will finished speaking, he kicked off with both legs and launched an attack towards Cifer.

But just then, a leopard's leg lashed out at his face, kicking him to the ground.

"How can we let you challenge our king right from the start?"

Lucci had already stood up, his swollen body looking like it was about to burst from the muscles.

"A leopard? Interesting!"

Will climbed out from the broken bricks, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked serious.

Lucci jumped down from the air, Will leaped up suddenly. Their fists collided in mid-air, producing a deafening sound.

"Men, move out! Let's start Total War and create a world of violence!"

Kaido raised his spiked club and shouted, and the crowd responded immediately. Whether it was the Tobi Roppo or the Babanuki, everyone started to fight.

"Let's go outside; we're just getting in the way here!"

Kaido dragged his spiked club, walked up to Cifer, and pointed provocatively at the sky.

"As you wish."

The two leaped up, creating a large hole in the ceiling, and their battlefield shifted to the outside.

"It seems we won't have a chance to participate."

Robin rested his chin on his hand, looking down at the chaotic meeting room below.

The two All-Stars were held back by Zoro and Sanji respectively, while the remaining five members of the Flying Six were entangled with the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates.

The members of Las Noches, who should have received the most attention, were completely ignored.

They were like people detached from the war, watching the circus performance, except for Lucci.

"On one side is a brat who has just emerged from the New World, and on the other side is an emperor who occupies a part of the New World. No matter how you look at it, the former is easier to deal with."

Drake looked down at the group of people who had once been his "comrades," his eyes showing no emotion.

"Why don't we go with Lord Cifer to his place too!"

Shirahoshi didn't like the war-like atmosphere; she preferred to see the captain's heroic figure as he defeated various enemies.

"Agreed!"

Chopper raised his hands; he didn't want to stay there either.

"Then let's go."

He pulled the Gambler's Fireline with a single, gentle wave, and the upper part was completely blasted open.

Immediately, the attic was severed from the ground, and the floor where they were sitting was uprooted and sent flying upwards.

"Damn Kaido... I'll kill you!"

Kin'emon and his men, who had returned, stormed in, filled with rage.

Momonosuke's death made their long-standing commitment seem like a joke. If they couldn't kill Kaido, how could they face Oden after they died?

Unable to find Kaido after looking west, they decided to help Luffy and his crew deal with the Beasts Pirates members first, and then join forces to take down Kaido!

"Lucci ~ We're going to Cifer's side~ Come over by yourself in a bit~"

On the other side, as he continued to rise, Chopper made a circle with his hands in front of him and shouted loudly at Lucci, who was fighting fiercely below.

Don't worry, it won't be long!

Lucci looked at Will, who was already panting heavily, and wiped the blood from his face.

"Although this is tiring, I'm going to get serious. The Devil Fruit I ate is a Zoan- Zoan Cat-Cat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, White Tiger Mode!"

Will's canine teeth began to grow longer, a wisp of white ribbon-like mist rose from his body, his pupils began to turn blue, and small horns grew on his forehead.

"The Devil Fruit Awakening? Interesting. Looks like I'm going to have some fun again."

Black ribbon-like smoke began to rise from Lucci's body.

Then, their fists collided.
