A few minutes later.
Amid Captain John and Silver Axe's increasingly anxious urging, Slada brought Captain John and Silver Axe to the location where the treasure was hidden.
Before they could find the treasure, they encountered Kaido and the others sitting on the cliff, eagerly waiting for them.
"Eh?!"
"Captain John!!"
"Silver Axe!!"
Kaido's eyes widened, his face full of surprise and delight.
But he immediately noticed Slada beside Captain John.
"Nani?!"
He was so shocked that he was left speechless. "Why is he with Captain John?"
They had clearly been enemies before. How... how had this happened?
Kaido's shout instantly attracted Captain John and Silver Axe's attention, and both of them looked delighted.
"Kaido?!"
"It really is Kaido!!"
Slada tucked Captain John under one arm and Silver Axe under the other, then quickly swam over.
He remembered now. This was the man who had fought him beneath the sea earlier.
As they drew closer.
Kaido roared furiously from the cliff, "Sea monster, let them go!"
"This is a misunderstanding. Slada isn't an enemy." Captain John immediately understood that Kaido had mistaken them for Slada's captives.
Slada brought Captain John and Silver Axe up onto the cliff and met with Kaido.
"Seeing how badly injured you two were, I thought... I thought he had captured you," Kaido said.
Captain John then explained everything that had happened in detail.
Afterward, he anxiously urged Slada, "Slada, where exactly is the treasure?"
"It's on the seafloor over there." Slada pointed toward the sea beneath the cliff.
Silver Axe added eagerly, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry down and find the treasure. Then we'll reunite with Ares, find Ochoku, and leave this place."
Kaido's expression turned strange when he heard their conversation.
The treasure they were looking for... couldn't it be the Devil
