Rumble!!
The sky churned with dark clouds once more. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed within the thick black clouds as a giant azure dragon soared through them.
The gloomy sky seemed ready to collapse, its oppressive weight bearing down on all of Wano Country. Fear gripped everyone, making their hearts pound and their bodies tremble.
"You're really something, you know. I've been waiting all these years for someone like you to appear."
Kaido's fearsome dragon head emerged from the clouds. He raised his brows and spoke with a sneer:
"What are you after? Becoming Pirate King? The Greatest Treasure? Or do you want to be the hero who saves this country? Black Snake Lina, what are you fighting for?"
"There's no need for a reason. I'm not like you, Kaido. I set sail with my answer already in hand. I'd already obtained what I sought in my heart. To me, this is a game that will go on until the end of my life."
Lina looked up at the sky, standing firm upon the earth.
"A game that lasts a lifetime..." Kaido lowered his head and stared down at Lina.
He wasn't an ambitious schemer bent on seizing power, an adventurer chasing a dream, or a seeker of history and truth. He was a player.
He looked down on the world from above, yet was completely immersed in it.
"You're unusual. I've never met anyone like you. What meaning does this moment hold in your game?"
Kaido watched him with interest.
"If this fight has to have a reason, I suppose it's to take you down, and then..."
Lina fell silent for a few seconds, the hint of a smile appearing on his lips.
"Become the next strongest in the world!"
"Wahahaha! What an arrogant and boring reason!"
Kaido laughed
