Maud: You Want to Take Me On?

The sudden thunderous boom from outside, along with violent tremors spreading like the shockwaves of a massive earthquake.

These extraordinary disturbances all heralded the arrival of the Maud Pirates.

Yamato was thrilled.

She had been waiting for this moment for twenty years.

Until today, she had finally been unable to escape this cage forged by her father.

Her certainty did not come from having complete faith in the strength of the Maud Pirates, but from the fact that Kaido and Queen were not on Onigashima.

"King, I'm seriously warning you. If you don't want to die here, you'd better listen to me."

"I'm truly being underestimated by you, Yamato."

His tone was extremely cold, laced with a trace of anger that was difficult to detect.

"I'm not underestimating you. It's just that Kaido isn't on the island right now, and the people attacking Onigashima are beyond your ability to handle."

Yamato casually hung the Wolf Fang Mace she had put away across her back. Then, right in front of King, she turned around and exposed her back to him, walking toward Gaban, who was still in the cell.

King's brows furrowed. He did not take advantage of the opening to attack Yamato, merely watching her back coldly.

Such behavior, which had crossed the
