I Am The Captain!

CP agents conducted an intensive search in the Bama Sea of the Grand Line, while the World Government and Marine Headquarters' combined fleet surged through the New World...

Beast Kaido and Big Mom Charlotte Linlin were already bombarding Wano Country's protective walls, intending to speed up the draining of the inland sea and release Pluton.

Within Wano Country.

Kozuki Hiyori, living under the alias of the courtesan Komurasaki; Denjiro of the Nine Red Scabbards, disguised as Kyoshiro; and Kozuki Sukiyaki, disguised as Tenguyama Hitetsu...

They truly could not believe that Wano Country's "opening of its borders" had arrived so abruptly.

None of the prophecies left behind by Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Toki—the Nine Shadows Falling from the Heavens, the dragon's defeat, or the peaceful opening of the country—had come to pass.

Even Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Raizo, Kikunojo, Kanjuro, and the others had not traveled through time and returned to the present.

They watched Beast Kaido transform into a giant dragon and spew dragon flames at the protective walls beneath the waterfall.

Big Mom was also unleashing the combined technique of her three great Homies, bombarding the walls.

The bombardment of the two Emperors caused frequent earthquakes throughout Wano Country.

Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Kozuki Sukiyaki, and the others had begun to deeply doubt the so-called prophecies left behind by Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Toki.

Could this really be nothing more than a lie meant to comfort people?

Besides them, there was also a white-haired woman wearing a hannya demon mask and Seastone handcuffs. Holding a ship's logbook, her eyes were likewise filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

This was the opening of the country described in Kozuki Oden's journal?

And Beast Kaido had not even been defeated.

Why were Beast Kaido and some pink-haired fat old woman the ones opening Wano Country's borders?
