"Where am I...?" Moria woke up with bandages wrapped around his body.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Sig and that Wano Country samurai...
"You..."
"Don't pretend you have amnesia. I saved you from Kaido, so please remember that! Do you remember Kaido? Thunder Bagua!" Sig said, making a gesture of swinging his club in the air.
Moria:!!!
Moria sat up abruptly, his face grim, and said, "That's right! It was Kaido... Kaido ambushed me!"
Sig curled his lip upon hearing this—not bad, quite a sneak attack, right? At least they shouted "Thunder Bagua," and... Moria didn't have any decent opponents at the time.
"Don't the CP0 people you're working with have any other plans? Have they already made their move, or are they still just watching the show?" Sig asked, dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction is contagious, especially Sig's...
Immediately, Moria felt a surge of dissatisfaction, realizing that he had been knocked down by a single blow, all because those bastards from CP0 hadn't shown up in time!
"I don't know. My only direct contact with people is with CP9," Moria said with a grim expression.
After looking around, Moria asked in confusion, "Where is this place?"
"They're still on Mayo Island. Kaido should already be based at the port," Sig said, recalling the direction Kaido a dragon and left.
Sig could tell that Moria had briefly thought about Hogback, Perona, and Absalom, but only for a moment.
Moria immediately realized that with Absalom's abilities and the size of Thriller Bark, given their understanding of ship construction, Kaido would have no chance of finding them if they wanted to hide.
You'd be better off worrying about yourself...
"What about those CP9 members?" Moria asked.
"Who knows?" Sig shrugged.
"Kaido very likely entrenched in the port now..." Yunlai emphasized again, his tone inscrutable.
"Don't rush, the CP0 guys should be the ones who are worried now. Captain Moria's Zombie Army is probably already being wiped out. If they don't make a move soon, this opportunity will be completely missed." Sig stopped Yunlai's idea.
Hearing that his zombies were all dead, Moria became even angrier—although they were just hastily put together and could not be considered elite troops, they were still the result of his efforts over the past few months, and... he even used the corpses of many Wano Country's top fighters!
If we just slink away like this, it would be a real loss.
Even escaping is not easy now.
Sig could sense that Moria was also showing signs of ruthlessness at this moment!
Moria has never backed down. His decline in strength is due to a lack of confidence in his own abilities, not because he is afraid of Kaido.
At the same time, Sig was also thinking that, judging from the situation twelve years later in the original story, Doflamingo didn't have many opportunities left—he couldn't have simply snatched Caesar from Kaido, could he?
Meanwhile, at the port... or rather, on the Thriller Bark, a commotion broke out.
Upon seeing the enormous azure dragon approaching on a cloud, Absalom immediately grabbed one of them with each hand, leading Hogback and Perona to hide invisibly.
Then Kaido unleashed another dragon breath attack in the harbor, either driving away or sinking the other ships, and then... took hold of Thriller Bark!
In the blink of an eye, all that remained around them was the Thriller Bark, which resembled land.
As for Captain John and the Beasts Pirates' ships, they had already sailed far away and were waiting in the near sea.
Because the ship was too big, Kaido didn't even think about searching for anything himself; he just wanted to block those guys' escape route.
Then more and more "shadows" returned to their master's body as the zombie's body was defeated...
Seeing this, Hogback suggested to Absalom that they secretly release the Prisoner.
At first, Absalom didn't understand, but then he thought of the giant dragon on the deck... and Absalom did as Hogback said.
Afterwards, a large number of pirates and marines killed off a few scattered zombie guards, broke out of the cells, and came to the deck.
Just as they saw the rising sun, before they could even rejoice, they also saw a giant dragon whose Dragon Scales shimmered in the morning light!
Upon seeing such a terrifying creature, both pirates and marines were stunned...
"That's all?" Kaido looked at the henchmen and sneered disdainfully.
Besides his contempt for Moria's depravity, he also felt an undeniable disappointment—he had hoped Moria would send some truly elite soldiers so he could recruit them.
And right now, these are hardly worth incorporating!
"Fight yourselves! The last hundred... no, fifty can join the Beasts Pirates as reserve crew members!" Kaido said disdainfully.
Seeing that this giant dragon could even speak human language, everyone became even more terrified. However, some people noticed that it mentioned the "Beasts Pirates" and vaguely guessed the dragon's identity... which made them even more terrified!
While the unknown is more terrifying, in the eyes of these branch naval forces and weak pirates, there is no difference between a pirate overlord and a mysterious being.
However, some of them were bold enough to incite their anger and urge everyone to attack Kaido.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! He's all alone!"
"That's right, he's just... Devil Fruit ability!"
"Still the most common Zoan..."
"He must have already fought Moria to a standstill, that's why he's lying here. Don't fall for it!"
"Dismember him!"
Because Kaido himself didn't care much and didn't stop it, he easily mobilized quite a few people...
However, when hundreds of people surrounded Kaido body on the deck, they could only manage to create some sparks; Kaido completely unharmed.
Kaido simply straightened his body slightly as if loosening his muscles, then opened his mouth and spewed out eerie blue flames, instantly silencing the scene and giving most people no chance to even scream.
While having more people can be useful even on a battlefield at the Yonko level, you need at least the level of a "Four Emperors grunt" and some decent weaponry. Most of these were pirates and marines that Moria had captured from the West Blue, and their weapons were just salvaged... They didn't even reach the level of a "grunt"!
Furthermore, Kaido himself is thick-skinned and has a wide-range attack, making him a type of person who excels at group attacks, so he can easily deal with them.
At the same time, a group of people in white suits and white masks silently rowed a small boat and approached the Beasts Pirates' ship!
Kaido thought the CP0 members were unaware... Caesar, wearing a gas cloak, had already been transferred to his own ship.
Meanwhile, neither Kaido nor the CP0 members knew that a "submarine" decorated with Doflamingo was approaching from the seabed!
