Austin vs. Kaido and Oden

"Stop!!!"

"Austin Taro!!!"

Just then, a shout came from the distance.

The Marines, who had been ruthlessly clearing out the samurai while incidentally helping the people of Wano Country demolish their infrastructure, froze when they heard it.

"Who is it?!!!"

The Marines, who had been leisurely watching everything unfold after declaring the Shogun's residence occupied, swiftly went on alert.

The three Monster Vice Admirals at the head of the force had been discussing their next move—whether to eliminate these rebellious samurai first or go after Kaido.

No one had expected it.

A King of Endurance to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Austin yawned and calmly looked into the distance, as if he had expected this all along.

After all, the Marines' methods were rather rough. They had shown no regard for the people of Wano Country during the attack.

They were troops Austin had brought up, after all. This was how fiercely they dealt with criminal forces.

At Austin's sides, Kuzan and Borsalino naturally noticed it as well, elemental power slowly gathering in their hands.

Laser beams were primed to fire, while bone-chilling frost drifted through the air...

As monsters themselves, they could naturally sense through Observation Haki that a very powerful figure was rapidly approaching from afar.

But since Austin was so composed, they had no reason to panic.

"Ooh~ That person is calling your name, Austin-kun~"

"Is he an acquaintance of yours~?"

Austin opened his mouth.

"Well... sort of."

"But we're not exactly on good terms~"

The tall figure charging toward them was wrapped in flowing red Haki, looking like an evil demon from a Wano Country myth, radiating a savage aura.

"Are you angry, stupid samurai~?"

There was no fear in Austin's eyes, only the competitive desire and amusement he felt upon encountering a strong opponent.
