On the other side of the ten-thousand-meter sky, a ship of CP0 agents led by Phantom and a ship of Wano Country samurai led by Kurozumi Orochi had also been brought together through Golden Lion's deliberate manipulation.
The floating warships carrying Kaido, King, Queen, and Shiryu had all been cut off from sight. When Kurozumi Orochi looked out, he could see only a deep-blue sky; when he listened closely, he could hear only the howling winds at high altitude. He had no idea what had happened to his allies.
Anything unusual had to have a reason behind it. Kurozumi Orochi instinctively sensed danger.
In such perilous circumstances, the only people he seemed able to rely on were the CP0 agents trapped on this high-altitude island alongside him. Thus, Kurozumi Orochi involuntarily turned a pleading gaze toward Phantom on the neighboring ship.
"Something happened."
Garen kept a straight face as he gravely stated the obvious.
"Indeed."
Kurozumi Orochi answered solemnly, then analyzed the situation in a heavy tone:
"If this wasn't an accident, then Golden Lion must have some ulterior motive for deliberately separating us from Lord Kaido."
As he said this, his expression grew even grimmer:

"Mm."

And due to Golden Lion's deliberate control, the two ships had remained alongside each other for quite some time, practically joined together.
Thus, Garen easily led thirty senior agents
