Before the battle on the sea outside Onigashima in Wano Country spread across the world, somewhere in the skies of the New World...
A massive cloud was drifting forward at an astonishing speed.
No ordinary cloud could possibly move that fast. It was more like a vehicle racing through the sky.
Of course, it was no ordinary cloud. Bright was sitting cross-legged at its very front.
Behind him, a group of people had been swept up by the cloud and were being carried along with him.
"Bright! What the hell are you trying to do?"
The mask King had used to conceal his true appearance had long since shattered, revealing his real face.
Brown skin, white hair, black wings, and blazing flames burning behind his head—there was no longer any hiding his Lunarian identity.
He had been smashed into the sea by Yamato during the earlier battle, but his injuries had not been serious enough to leave him unable to move.
After being hauled out and given a little time to recover, he had awakened from his coma.
But naturally, even a race known as gods could no longer move after being fitted with Seastone shackles.
For now, he could only glare weakly at Bright's back, but his words showed no weakness at all.
"No need to be so hostile, King."
Bright did not turn around. He merely said calmly, "I think you should be thanking me. Otherwise, you'd all be on Wano Country's execution platform by now."
"We never asked you to save us!"
The foul-mouthed girl shrieked furiously.
Her name was Ulti, right?
A future member of the Beasts Pirates' Tobi Roppo.
"That's right!!"
Another huge man, wrapped up like a dumpling, spoke in a muffled voice. "Don't think we'll bow our heads to you!"
It was Jack.
