Bzzz!!
A wave of brazenly provocative Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted across Onigashima.
Hordes of Beasts Pirates grunts collapsed, foaming at the mouth under its pressure.
Blood Shadow Bats swept across Onigashima, blotting out the sky. Countless unconscious grunts were reduced to dried corpses as the bats swept over them.
Some Headliners and Gifters fought desperately against the terrifying swarms of blood bats, letting out screams of despair.
In an instant, all of Onigashima became a living hell.
Inside the skull castle, Kaido of the Beasts and his crew were actually discussing whether to seize the Gran Tesoro.
Gild Tesoro had previously enjoyed the World Government's protection. Having witnessed the World Government's true might at God Valley, Kaido of the Beasts had been reluctant to provoke it lightly.
But now, the Gran Tesoro had been seized by an unknown, mysterious man.
Then they couldn't be blamed for taking a share of the spoils.
Even if the World Government eventually reclaimed the Golden Entertainment City, the Beasts Pirates intended to plunder the Gran Tesoro while it was still in that mysterious man's hands.
At the greedy Queen the Plague's suggestion, Kaido of the Beasts decided to set out first thing the next morning to find the Gran Tesoro and the mysterious Kozuki Houka.
They had to tear a chunk of meat from the World Government's jaws.
As that burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted, countless blood bats swept across Onigashima in an instant, sending the half-drunk Kaido of the Beasts into a rage.
He swiftly transformed into an azure dragon and soared into the sky to see which bastard dared provoke him.
Houka hadn't unleashed his pseudo-God-level Conqueror's Haki, fearing that he might scare Kaido of the Beasts away.
Otherwise, even officers at the level of the Headliners and Flying Six wouldn't
