Hanafusa and Sain! Are They Going to Fight Kaido Again?!

Kozuki Toki collapsed in front of Roa, her long, beautiful legs curled up and trembling incessantly.

Of course, it wasn't just her legs that were trembling; her whole body was shaking. It was just that her long, white legs were more attractive to Roa.

That awful adolescence!

Damn hormones!

As Roa withdrew his gaze from those legs, he asked with interest, "Shi, are you willing to accept this fate now?"

Kozuki Toki looked up, her beautiful face was filled with a sense of devastation, and her eyes held an indescribable fear, as well as submission.

"Yes... Lord Roa Roa..."

Kozuki Toki's voice was very soft, so soft that Roa could hardly hear it unless he listened carefully.

However, just uttering these few words had already exhausted Kozuki Toki's strength.

"Hmm, very good!"

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

Kozuki Toki should be a person with a very strong will.

Normally, it wouldn't be easy to influence her personality with one's abilities.

However, even a man like Zephyr had his personality forcibly reshaped by Roa in a fit of extreme anger, so Kozuki Toki was certainly not indestructible either.

Everything that had just happened had a tremendous impact on Kozuki Toki.

This nearly drove the woman to a mental breakdown.

So it can be said that Roa easily used his ability to manipulate negative emotions to directly change this woman's personality!

Fear and obedience surged instantly, completely stripping Kozuki Toki of the right to say no.

"Then, may I satisfy my curiosity?"

Roa asked with great interest, "You've traveled from eight hundred years ago to the present, covering thousands of miles to come to Wano Country. What is your purpose?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several of Roa's subordinates changed drastically.

Eight hundred years ago?

Even the composed Dylan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Boss! You're saying this woman is from eight hundred years ago!"

"Has she lived that long?"

Moria was utterly dumbfounded.

You can't tell at all!

She looks exactly like a woman in her early twenties!

Is there really something in this world that can make people live forever?

"Idiot!"

Bullet retorted directly, "Didn't you hear what the Boss said? This woman is from eight hundred years ago!"

Time travel?

Moria's gaze toward Kozuki Toki grew increasingly astonished.

The ability to travel through eight hundred years of time? That's even more outrageous than immortality!

Is it Devil Fruit ability?

Abel was also surprised, "If she came from eight hundred years ago, does that mean she knows the truth about the Void Century?"

"Alright,"

Roa frowned slightly. "I'll tell you when the time comes."

The group fell silent instantly.

But at this moment, Kozuki Toki was no less astonished than the cadres.

Not only did Roa know her abilities, he even knew when she came from!

What exactly happened?

Having traversed this long history of eight hundred years, I haven't left any trace of myself, and I've rarely interacted with anyone!

However, there's no extra time to think about it now.

Driven by fear, Kozuki Toki immediately spoke, "It's because Wano Country is special."

"Oh?"

Roa raised an eyebrow, signaling Kozuki Toki to continue.

"Joy Boy was defeated in the war against the Twenty Kings, and the war that swept the world came to an end."

"However, because of my abilities, I foresaw that a new turning point would arrive eight hundred years from now!"

"And the Wano Country will play an important role in this new transformation—"

She paused, glanced cautiously at Roa, and then said, "Because Pluton, is buried here."

You mean Pluton?

Even though Roa had already given the order, Dylan still gasped in disbelief upon hearing the news.

Is Pluton, one of the Ancient Weapon capable of destroying the world, buried in this country?

But.

"However, I don't know the exact burial location either."

Kozuki Toki added a sentence.

That's it?

Roa gave a slight smirk.

Can you tell me something I don't know? I do know that we can only find Pluton after Wano Country opens its borders.

Is it because the Land of Kozuki Toki Pluton that Wano Country wants to come to this country and guide it onto the right path?

That's really incredibly boring.

Etc!

Does the boss know about this?

The officials were instantly stunned.

But they immediately took it for granted.

If it's the Boss, then no matter how amazing something is, it's perfectly normal.

Tell me about that war.

Roa continued to ask.

"I don't know much either, after all, those important figures are too far removed from me."

Kozuki Toki shook his head and said, "All I know is that it was a war between the pirate Joy Boy and twenty kings."

According to Kozuki Toki, eight hundred years ago, the world also suffered from inconvenient transportation and limited information access.

Having not participated in the war at all, she was not very familiar with its causes and consequences.

All that is known is that Joy Boy, the first to be called a pirate, led his crew in a fierce war against the twenty kings.

In the end, Joy Boy failed.

Known as the Sun God, the liberator who freed countless slaves, he ultimately lost the war that determined the fate of the world.

Then Kozuki Toki decided to do something.

So, she traveled eight hundred years into the future.

"How boring."

After listening to Kozuki Toki recount everything she knew, Roa remained uninterested.

That's true. Roger only learned the whole truth after arriving at the Laugh Tale.

What Kozuki Toki knew was limited to hearsay.

What a waste of your time!

However, Kozuki Toki's Devil Fruit ability is also quite good.

"Speed up! Don't keep Big Brother Kaido waiting!"

The snails rumbled and began to increase their speed, heading full speed toward the Capital of Flowers.

Along the way, Kozuki Toki carefully observed the country.

Although she has been branded by Roa, it does not mean that her personality has been completely reversed.

In fact, Roa quite liked the simple and gentle Kozuki Toki.

Therefore, the only thing she changed was her attitude towards Roa.

She still cares about this country.

So, Roa was satisfied.

Looking at this ravaged country, the black aura emanating from Kozuki Toki's body was incredibly delicious.

Soon, we arrived at the Capital of Flowers.

Specifically, we arrived at the palace outside the Capital of Flowers, where Kaido resides.

Time flies! It's been almost a year since I left here.

Over the course of that year, the palace underwent significant changes, with numerous buildings added around it, presumably for the new pirates joining the crew.

Although they haven't returned, you can still occasionally see news about the Beasts Pirates in the newspapers; they've expanded quite a bit.

Big Brother Kaido hasn't been idle either.

"Is it Lord Roa has arrived?"

As they approached the palace, a troop of people quickly came to meet them.

Welcome back!

The leader was a man of considerable height and strength.

Although he was riding on the back of a large wolf, it wasn't hard to estimate his height; he was probably around five meters tall.

He was wearing a black overcoat, a hat that extended downwards and covered most of his face, revealing only his eyes, mouth, and nose, and a large scythe was slung over his back. At the end of the scythe was a long chain, which was connected to a huge meteor hammer.

"Oh, Hanafusa, right?"

Roa called out the name of the person who had come.

Hanafusa, known as the Lizard King, Shichibukai who was defeated by a fledgling Ace in the original work.

However, it wasn't exactly shameful, since Ace and Jinbe fought to a draw not long afterward. Jinbe wasn't weak among the Shichibukai, but Ace was simply too strong.

However, besides his identity as Shichibukai, Hanafusa's more crucial identity is that of Big Brother Kaido's only close brother in the original work, someone who entrusted his wife and children to Big Brother Kaido's care.

It's just a pity that Big Brother Kaido a bit of a jerk, or rather, he only treats Hanafusa as a good friend, but not as Hanafusa children, Ulti and Page One.

After their father was killed by pirates seeking revenge, the siblings did not have a good time in the Beasts Pirates until they secretly stole two Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, at which point they began to distinguish themselves in the Beasts Pirates.

"You actually knew me?"

Hanafusa chuckled, "That's truly flattering!"

I've seen your name in the newspaper.

"That's what Roa said casually."

The story changed once again because of him.

Because Abel was kidnapped by him, this man, who did not join the Beasts Pirates in the original work, has now officially become a high-ranking officer under Kaido.

However, Roa didn't seem to care much about it.

Ultimately, he's not someone worth paying much attention to.

Where is Big Brother Kaido?

"What Big Brother Kaido said,"

Hanafusa scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I was so happy to hear you were coming that I got drunk and haven't sobered up yet."

Roa nodded knowingly. "It's something he's capable of doing."

"Let's go, go wake him up."

"Yes!"

Behind Roa, Kozuki Toki felt uneasy.

So, are we about to meet Roa's companions and, together with him, seize the people of this country?

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

As they arrived at the palace's outer perimeter and dismounted from the snail amidst the respectful gazes of the Beasts Pirates, another guy rushed over in a flurry.

"Judge! Judge, you bastard, get the hell out here right now!"

Roa glanced at the guy.

He was tall and strong, wearing a dirty white coat, and his hair stood up in a messy, flame-like manner.

"Sean! You idiot!"

Before Roa could say anything, Hanafusa angrily kicked the newcomer in the butt, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt.

"What are you still doing, acting so presumptuously in front of Lord Roa?"

Sion, who is the future Queen, instantly changed his expression!

Oops!

So focused on reuniting with Judge that I forgot the real point!

He cautiously raised his head and saw Roa with a calm expression.

Babble!

I hope I haven't angered this man!

Although it's our first meeting, who on the high seas doesn't know the name "Calamity Roa" these days?

This boy is a true monster, even Kaido!

Sain was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

That wretched Judge, it's all because of you!

"Lord Roa, this guy's got something wrong with his head."

Hanafusa said sincerely to Roa, "Please don't take it to heart."

Roa looked down at Sain, who was lying on the ground with a smirk on his face.

If I remember correctly, this guy is supposed to wait a few more years before joining the Beasts Pirates.

Has the plot been altered by oneself once again?

It doesn't matter.

The moment I came into this world, it was already destined that the so-called plot would become unrecognizable.

"Big Brother Kaido has made good progress this year; he's even managed to bring in a scientist from Mads."

"I'm quite interested, "Roa said.

Mads is an organization that basically represents the highest level of technology in the world.

Vegapunk, Judge, Caesar, Buckingham Stussy, and Queen —each and every one of them was a groundbreaking scientist.

Well, Queen is probably the worst among these guys.

After decades of research, they've only come up with a few viruses; it's simply unbelievable.

After all, both Caesar and Judge wanted to surpass Vegapunk, but only this guy took Judge as his target.

"Mwahahaha!"

Sain became somewhat carried away with his pride, "Lord Roa, you have excellent taste! My skills are far superior to that idiot Judge's!"

"You really dare to say that, Sien!"

Judge finally jumped off the snail's back, and after hearing Sain's words, he looked at him with disdain, "Everyone knows that in MADS, you're the one who drags the team down!"

"Ah?"

Sain's small eyes widened instantly, filled with rage. "Judge, you idiot, do you want to die?"

"Shall we have a competition?"

Judge's lips curled into a strange smile. "After all this time apart, who has developed the more advanced technology?"

"Let's compete! Do you think I'm afraid of your boring androids?"

The two clearly have a deep-seated grudge, and they even dare to ignore Roa.

However, Roa ignored him.

Because.

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly boomed above the palace not far away.

The enormous creature suddenly soared into the sky, casting a heavy shadow as it descended.

That is--

Kozuki Toki's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Dragon?

A colossal azure dragon, over a thousand meters long, soared into the sky.

Is that Kaido?

Among the cadres behind Roa, Teach also looked up at the sky in astonishment.

Kaido of the Beasts, who was once an apprentice in the Rocks Pirates alongside Roa!

"Hehehe! You brat, what brings you back this time?"

The enormous creature, its head as big as a small mountain, slowly lowered, its voice still tinged with a strong sense of intoxication.

"I have a very interesting plan that needs everyone's help."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "Didn't I come to find my dearest older brother right away?"

As Kaido continued to descend, a Whitebeard Pirates suddenly jumped down from his head.

Roa reached out, and the wind began to blow, greatly slowing the little ball of fluff down. Then, Roa caught her in his arms.

A cute little white-haired girl with a pair of tiny horns on her forehead blinked her big, watery eyes and happily reached out to touch Roa's face.

"Roa! It's Roa!"

"Oh! You actually remember me? Yamato!"

Roa affectionately nuzzled the little girl's face, "Call me brother."

"Brother Roa!"

Yamato, who was not yet two years old, spoke in a Yamato, crisp voice.

This child is truly a born monster.

She was only a few months old when she left a year ago, but she still remembers Roa.

"Good girl, good girl!"

Roa happily ruffled Yamato's soft hair.

Kozuki Toki, standing behind him, felt somewhat dazed.

When I first met this man, I thought he was like a prince from a fairy tale, both handsome and gentle.

But once his true nature is revealed, his image becomes synonymous with a demon from hell.

However, now, Kozuki Toki saw Roa's gentle side again.

What kind of person is he, really?

"Snort!"

Seeing his beloved daughter clinging to Roa's hand and shaking it affectionately, Kaido snorted coldly, reverted to human form, and landed in front of Roa.

"You mean help? Hmm, the Daimyo Calamity Roa, does he really need my help?"

Acid!

It's incredibly sour!

"Because this matter is very serious!"

Roa's lips curled into a smile. "Should we try to do what the captain couldn't back then? Let's turn the world upside down!"

He was furious that the government never mentioned the pirated goods, so he wanted to teach the World Government a lesson.

"A complete upheaval?"

A smile spread across Kaido's flushed face. "Anything is fine with me, hehehehe! Kid, let me see the power that even that bastard Newgate couldn't achieve!"

Well.

Roa sighed helplessly.

We still have to fight.

Um?

Wait, something seems off!

Two years ago, when I left the Land of Endless War and officially began my voyage, I fought with Big Brother Kaido.

When he left Wano Country a year ago to begin his own voyage, he also fought with Big Brother Kaido.

And now, after lying low for several months, just as they're preparing to strike again, are they going to fight Big Brother Kaido?

Hiss!

Is this some kind of strange ritual?

To be honest, I'm getting a bit tired of it.
