King

Crocodile turned his head in utter astonishment, not knowing when a slender, tall black figure had appeared beside him.

He had just finished watching the final battle between Black Wolf and Whitebeard and felt very conflicted.

Whitebeard lost.

The man who had defeated him at the height of his power, severing his arm and driving him to despair and ruin, was now defeated before his very eyes.

He was defeated by Sirius was only twenty years old this year, reckless and full of vigor.

This was a thoroughly satisfying defeat.

A fair and square confrontation leaves no room for argument.

However, my feelings are quite complicated.

Has my long-held goal been defeated just like that?

Black Wolf Sirius, is this guy really going to become the new king?

As Crocodile was experiencing mixed feelings, he suddenly heard a voice beside him.

His eyes widened instantly, and he turned his head in disbelief, only to see a dark figure standing beside him.

When?

When did this guy show up?!

Completely unaware!

Doesn't this mean that if this guy wanted to harm me, I wouldn't even be able to resist, and I wouldn't even realize it until I'm dead?

The hairs on his body stood on end instantly, Crocodile's body exploded into sand and flew away, only reforming after it had gone a long way.

His eyes were still filled with panic as he looked at the shadow.

Who is this guy?

Are there still creatures like this on the high seas?

Crocodile wasn't the only one panicking!

"What?"

The Golden Lion turned around in disbelief, looking at the figure.

Completely unaware!

That guy appeared on the battlefield silently, like a ghost.

Even with his Observation Haki, he didn't notice his presence at all! If that guy hadn't spoken up himself, he probably wouldn't have even noticed his existence!

What the heck!

What's wrong with this guy?

Are they some kind of special Devil Fruit User?

However, the Golden Lion immediately noticed something was amiss.

Why can't I sense this guy's presence?

He was clearly standing there, and I even heard his voice just now, but when I swept my Observation Haki over him, I couldn't sense his presence at all, as if he didn't exist there.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Golden Lion was utterly astonished. "Is he made of stone?"

Sirius's brow furrowed as he noticed the crooked crown the man was wearing on his head.

Although many years have passed since he traveled through time, Sirius still remembers the guy who suddenly appeared in the comics in his previous life, who seemed to be the final boss.

The design is not exactly the same as the one that appears now; it's practically identical.

If it really is him, then the situation is in serious trouble.

"Sirius!"

Yamato turned to look at Sirius, her expression serious. "This guy... he seems to be in serious trouble!"

Her intuition has always been very sharp.

I think so too.

The wind gathered around Sirius, his cloak billowing as Dragon, with his back to Sirius, solidified his body. "I can't sense anything at all, it's absolutely terrifying!"

What kind of being could possibly be so powerful that even top-tier experts on the high seas couldn't sense a trace of their presence?

Dragon even doubted whether the creature standing before them was truly a living being.

A sense of fear inexplicably crept into his heart.

This stems from the deepest human fear of the unknown, a fear that cannot be suppressed.

Not far away, the Red-Haired's expression suddenly turned grim. He unconsciously clenched his teeth. "This is terrible! This is really bad!"

Charlotte Big Mom's expression also became very serious.

Something's not right!

Something's definitely off about this guy!

However, there were also those who ignored the tense atmosphere.

Kaido in his Azure Dragon form, lowered his head, circling the black-robed figure below, and chuckled with interest, "Hehehehe! Looks like a very interesting fellow has arrived. Hey, you cowardly bastard, tell me who you are!"

Teacher Kaido, you're as brave as ever.

Sirius didn't say anything, he just ate his food in big mouthfuls.

We need to recover from the side effects of the toxins as soon as possible.

The person hidden in the black robe didn't even raise his head, as if the azure Divine Dragon floating above his head didn't exist at all.

Sirius had a strange feeling, as if his skin was being stung, as if that guy was looking at him.

"Black Wolf Sirius,"

A hoarse, indistinct voice, its gender and age completely indistinguishable, rang out, "I've wanted to meet you for a long time. They all say you might become the new Joy Boy's man."

"Hey, you bastard!"

In the sky, Kaido, who had been ignored, darkened his eyes. "Didn't you hear what I asked you?"

Sirius chewed on the dirt and laughed, but he didn't say a word.

"Sirius will never become Joy Boy!"

Yamato stepped forward, hands on her hips, and declared loudly, "I'm the one who's going to be JOY GIRL!"

"Oh, right,"

The man nodded slightly. "I saw it in the newspaper: White Wolf Yamato is going to become Joy Girl's woman."

"Hey, you bastard!"

Thunder roared above the man's head, Kaido, in his rage, emanated an invisible aura that sent dust and stones flying from the ground. "Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

I'm angry, I'm angry.

Sirius wiped his mouth; that was enough.

As if he hadn't heard Kaido's words at all, the sudden mysterious figure simply said calmly, "Joy Girl? The Joy Boy should be eager to meet you."

"How dare you ignore me?! You're asking for death!!"

Enraged at being ignored once again, Kaido opened his mouth wide, and Fire Pillar of blazing flames instantly crashed down.

"Bolo Breath!"

The man in black robes remained motionless.

Boom!

The intense flames triggered a massive explosion, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

Sirius dusted himself off, stood up, and casually grabbed the greatsword that was lying to the side.

I can't feel anything.

It was as if that guy didn't exist at all.

However, the smoke dissipated quickly.

Above the crater blasted out by the flames, the mysterious figure in black robes remained motionless; only his calm voice continued to echo.

"It's great to meet you all this time, but the high seas only need one king, and we don't need Joy Boy."

He then glanced at Yamato, "Or Joy Girl."

So, there's nothing more to discuss, right?

Sirius gripped his sword tightly.

"Descent of the Three Worlds -Shō -Pulling into Naraka!!"

But at that very moment, a long, jet-black Inazuma rod trailing lightning bolts crashed down from above the black-robed man's head.
