"Kaido is dead!"
The simple four words, uttered at that moment, carried the sensation of demonic whispers, striking straight into the depths of everyone's souls.
As they watched King descend from the sky, his entire body drenched in blood, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and the others instantly tensed up, hurriedly drawing their blades and going on alert.
Who's-Who shouted urgently, "King, I've never liked you. Kaido's fate is still unknown, so let me be your opponent."
As the strongest of the Flying Six, Who's-Who had always coveted the position of the Three Calamities.
Especially King, the foremost of the Three Calamities—he had been the enemy Who's-Who had desperately wanted to defeat.
Unfortunately, the opportunity he had never received had come knocking at such a time.
Sasaki and Ulti, who had been on the same ship as him, also swiftly stepped behind Who's-Who, making their stance clear.
Yet King paid no heed to any of it. He landed before Yamato and said, "I saw the final scene just now. If Uchiha Qin Yu hadn't directed the final blow into the sky..."
"This land, and all of us, would no longer exist. Just like the cloudless sky, everything would have been erased from this land."
"Kaido is dead. The Beasts are no more. If you want the positions of the Three Calamities, take them."
"Oh, and I forgot to tell you something. A report came in just moments ago—the entrance to Wano Country that Queen was guarding has already been breached by the Blood Flag Pirates. The opening of Wano Country may only be a matter of time now."
As his words fell, the scene sank into silence.
King had already been struck by the ultimate despair of having his heart die, after Kaido had turned his blade on him at the final moment.
