Love's Big Mouth!

Kizaru is about to enter the New World again.

Storm has not yet received this intelligence.

He has already arrived in Wano Country, deep within the New World, with the Dawn Pirates.

An unnamed island high in the sky, ten thousand meters above the ground.

Storm looked at "Beasts the Second" beside him and asked.

"Have you remembered everything I told you before?"

"Certainly!"

The Beasts the Second. wore an arrogant smile that was almost identical to that of the real Beasts Kaido.

"Orororo--I will manage this Beasts Pirates well for you!"

That's right.

Let Beasts the Second take over the Beasts Pirates.

This is the strategy that Storm came up with.

It wasn't that he didn't want to completely devour the Beasts Pirates.

However, it must be acknowledged that human energy does indeed have its limits.

The Dark World, the BIG MOM Pirates, Vegapunk, the Red-Haired Pirates...

In recent months, Storm has taken over a large number of organizational forces.

However, he didn't have many subordinates he could truly trust.

The New Marines has Zephyr, Aokiji, Fujitora, and a steady stream of righteous men from the Old Marines who have fought bravely for their cause.

But Storm could only choose the best among the worst, trying his best to maintain the stable development of his forces.

No major problems, but a bunch of minor troubles.

This is the problem that Storm has been facing recently.

If they were to swallow up the Beasts Pirates' forces at this time...

Storm could already foresee how much trouble he was going to get.

Let Beasts the Second. take charge of the Beasts Pirates for now.

Once Storm's forces have completely stabilized, he can begin to take over the power of the Beasts Pirates!

Will the Beasts Pirates discover Beasts the Second.'s disguise?

To be honest.

Storm has absolutely no need to worry about this.

Even though the disguise of the Beasts the Second was extremely, extremely bad.

However, he has the exact same appearance as Beasts Kaido.

The Beasts the Second. possesses absolute power that surpasses even that of Beasts Kaido.

He just didn't have that [Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Fruit]...

However, the Nine-Star Clay Body alone is enough to guarantee the strength of the Beasts the Second.

Even if we take a step back and say...

Even if the Beasts Pirates were 99.99% certain that Beasts the Second. was a fake.

But would they dare to gamble on that one in ten thousand chance?

In this New World, might makes right!

"Very good."

Storm nodded in satisfaction, glancing at the Golden Lion II beside him.

"Ship this island into Wano Country!"

The Golden Lion II readily accepted good advice.

For ordinary pirates—and even for some Emperor Pirates Crews.

The waterfall on the outskirts of Wano Country poses a very high threat.

The Whitebeard Pirates, the BIG MOM Pirates... all have a dark history of "capsizing" in Wano Country.

However, for the Dawn Pirates...

The so-called "natural barrier" of Wano Country simply does not exist!

The "natural barrier" defends against people rowing boats at sea, so what does that have to do with the Dawn Pirates flying in the sky?

Under the manipulation of Golden Lion II.

The nameless island completely ignored the super waterfall that surrounded Wano Country, which was like an insurmountable barrier, and Luffy into the inner sea of Wano Country, heading rapidly towards "Onigashima," which is adjacent to the main island of Wano Country.

And at this time...

The Beasts Pirates, who were on lookout duty on Onigashima, also discovered this uninvited floating Sky Island and immediately sounded the alarm for "foreign invasion."

In just a few breaths.

A massive, jet-black Pteranodon, with flames burning on parts of its body, flew out from the Beasts Castle on Onigashima to greet the floating Sky Island that had inexplicably flown in.

It's not hard to see from this [Zoan, Dragon- Dragon Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Pteranodon Form].

The newcomer was none other than the Beasts Pirates' Lead Performer, the leader of the All-Stars—

Wildfire!

What's going on with this Sky Island?

The King the Conflagration vibrated its large membranous wings, increasing its flight speed.

'In the New World, the only pirate crew with the ability to manipulate floating Sky Island is probably the Dawn Pirates, right?'

The Golden Lion II of the Dawn Pirates, Great Pirate with a bounty exceeding two billion Beli.

How could King the Conflagration, possibly overlook this name?

Only.

If he remembers correctly.

Before Kaido left Wano Country, didn't he say he was going to Whitebeard Pirates?

Later, I heard that Kaido went to Whole Cake Island, probably to meet the White Dragon Emperor.

But where did this force, suspected to be the Dawn Pirates, that has stormed into Wano Country come from?

They said they were going to find the White Dragon Emperor, but ended up finding the Red Dragon Emperor...

Kaido's methods are truly baffling...

King the Conflagration quickly flew to the vicinity of the nameless island.

Just as this Lead Performer was about to rush into the interior of the nameless island.

An incomparably powerful [Conqueror's Haki] was released from within the nameless island.

Like a materialized black and red arc of electricity, it was like an energy chain stretching across the sky, swiftly and unexpectedly engulfing King the Conflagration.

Boom--

The moment he was locked onto by this [Conqueror's Haki] from afar, King the Conflagration's mind was immediately subjected to an immense mental shock, and his consciousness became somewhat dazed.

He had never encountered such powerful [Conqueror's Haki] before...

Even Kaido's [Conqueror's Haki] can't compare...

King the Conflagration's mind went blank.

His [Ancient Zoan Pterodactyl Fruit] abilities were also being forced back into his body under the forceful suppression of this [Conqueror's Haki].

The Pteranodon transformed back into a tall, robust humanoid form in mid-air.

Surprisingly, a pair of jet-black wings still grew from the back of this figure.

This is an innate talent of the Lunarian Tribe!

Among the secret bounties offered by the World Government.

Anyone who can provide the World Government with intelligence about the Lunarian Tribe will receive a bounty of 100 million Beli!

That's right.

Just based on the information, one could get a bounty of 100 million Beli.

This is the "weight" of the Lunarian Tribe!

All along.

King the Conflagration, is doing his best to keep his identity from being revealed.

This is why he always wears a full-body black uniform with a strong philosophical (?) vibe, even with a helmet on his head...

But at this moment, King the Conflagration couldn't care less about revealing his identity.

Because he had completely lost consciousness.

The tall figure with wings on its back, like a black bird with broken wings, plunged headlong into the Wano Country Sea below before even reaching the nameless Sky Island where the Dawn Pirates were located.

"Are Zoan Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User really this fragile?"

Storm, the "instigator," couldn't help but click his tongue.

"I overestimated King the Conflagration's abilities a bit..."

[Star Trophy: Wildfire (Abel)]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]

The Seven-Star Trophy.

Katakuri.

As the Lead Performer of the Beasts Pirates, King the Conflagration is indeed powerful.

However, Storm's Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki is still a bit too "overpowered"...

"Teach."

Storm whispered the name.

A flash of lightning appeared on the nameless island, Whitebeard the Second.'s figure vanished from the spot, soaring into the sky like Lightning.

When he returned, he brought the unconscious King the Conflagration back with him.

Thump!

Whitebeard the Second. dropped the King the Conflagration from his hand.

The Lead Performer slammed to the ground with a dull thud.

But he still didn't wake up.

Whitebeard the Second. glanced at his father, silently raised his right hand, and gathered electricity at his fingertips.

Lightning Serpent.

A silvery-white lightning bolt flew from Whitebeard the Second.'s fingertip and instantly entered the body of King the Conflagration. Instantly, lightning blazed and the crackling of generators filled the air.

A powerful energy source was (forcibly) injected into it.

King the Conflagration, immediately "activated".

However, the lingering effects of that [Conqueror's Haki] were still interfering with his mind.

Even though he had opened his eyes, King the Conflagration remained lying on the ground like a wooden statue, not getting up for a long time.

But Whitebeard the Second.'s mission was already complete.

Beasts the Second took over his "job" and stepped forward voluntarily.

He walked up to the King the Conflagration, crouched down, raised his large, fan-like hand, and swatted it away like he was swatting a moth.

Even at his peak, King the Conflagration wouldn't dare claim he could dodge Beasts the Second's slap.

Not to mention the still somewhat bewildered King the Conflagration!

Bang!

Beasts the Second II slapped King the Conflagration on the head, shoving the dark head into the island's ground, creating a crater several meters in diameter.

"Jin! Wake up!"

Under the influence of the "Love's Big Mouth" of the Beasts the Second.

King the Conflagration finally regained consciousness.

Although he still felt a little dizzy.

But he was finally free from the negative effects of that [Conqueror's Haki].

"I'm sorry, Brother Kaido."

King the Conflagration, covered his head, climbed out of the crater, and immediately apologized.

Under the power of the Beasts the Second's "Love's Big Mouth".

King the Conflagration's black helmet and mask were completely shattered, revealing his brown face and long, moon-white hair.

Brown skin, long white hair, black wings, and flames that seem to burn forever.

These are all racial characteristics of the Lunarian Tribe.

In the distant, ancient times.

Before the Celestial Dragons reached the Red Line Continent.

The Lunarian Tribe are the race that actually occupied the Red Line Continent.

The Lunarian Tribe established a nation called "God's Country" on the Red Line Continent.

At that time, every member of the Lunarian Tribe was referred to by the rest of the sea as --

God.

But as it turns out...

The Lunarian Tribe are not gods.

King the Conflagration, perhaps the last member of the Lunarian Tribe on the high seas, was completely unaware of the difference between the Beasts the Second. and the real Beasts Kaido.

King the Conflagration just thought Kaido's slap was huge and powerful.

It seems like it's been a long time since he's been beaten like this by Kaido...

But.

Every member of the Lunarian Tribe possesses innate and powerful defensive capabilities.

The Beasts the Second's slap just now looked pretty fierce.

In reality, King the Conflagration wasn't injured at all; he was just a little dizzy.

The next moment.

"Ember."

Beasts the Second called out the name of the Lead Performer again, pointing to Storm beside him, and said with a serious expression.

"Call me boss."

Second update.

It wasn't midnight... but morning...

Good morning, everyone.

I'm going to sleep.
