New World.
An unnamed stretch of sea.
On an unknown island.
Kaido sat cross-legged on the ground, gulping down liquor from a flask. He casually tossed aside the empty jar, wiped his mouth, and suddenly burst into laughter. "That Red-Haired brat is getting more and more terrifyingly strong!"
Then he suddenly flew into a rage. "Damn it! A brat who started out as an apprentice on Roger's ship has actually climbed this high?"
His emotions shifted several times in a short span before he finally broke into loud sobs. "Damn it, damn it! This kind of battle is child's play compared to Roger! I want to launch an even greater war!"
As his emotions surged, Conqueror's Haki swept over the entire island!
Other than the strong, every living creature foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious beneath his Conqueror's Haki!
At that moment, King the Conflagration, leader of the Calamities, arrived from afar. After reaching Kaido's side, he handed him a report and said without any unnecessary words, "News has come in. Jack was defeated by a Marine Rear Admiral and is currently being sent to Impel Down."
Kaido immediately reined in his emotions and turned to glare at him. "What did you say? Jack was captured by the Marines?"
As one of Kaido's earliest followers, King was not intimidated by Kaido's aura and merely continued slowly, "Yes. It was a Marine Rear Admiral named Patino Yun Ye."
Kaido asked, "What happened?"
King briefly explained the situation.
Kaido punched the ground, making it rumble. He said coldly, "He actually ate the Devil Fruit belonging to our Hundred Beasts Pirates? And it was a precious Mythical Zoan..."
"Are we going to attack the Marines? But with the current situation in the New World, you probably can't get away," King said slowly.
