Queen: This Is All a Misunderstanding

"After more than a decade apart, your mouth has grown even bigger than your body, Hollow. Undying Phoenix, Phoenix Seal."

Brilliant golden light dazzled the eye as the phoenix spread its wings and soared, colliding madly with Kaido.

Golden light flickered at the peak of the sky, while shifting black thunderclouds danced wildly around the club. Their battle had moved from the center of Onigashima to its edge...

The terrifying battle made the entire Onigashima tremble on the verge of collapse, yet Queen felt that his current situation seemed even more dangerous than the island itself.

"Ha, ha, ha... Lord Hua Yue, this is all a misunderstanding! I was actually ordered by Vegapunk to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates and secretly gather intelligence!"

With his mind racing, Queen came up with an excuse that even he himself did not want to believe.

"Oh? Really? Then could you tell me exactly how much intelligence you gathered during all those years in the Beasts Pirates?"

In an instant, Queen's shifty little eyes met Hua Yue's. The indifference and ruthlessness beneath that azure smile immediately sent a shiver through him.

"Actually... I was investigating the ancient weapons. Vegapunk suspected that an ancient weapon was hidden within Wano Country!"

But the moment the words left his mouth, Queen wanted nothing more than to slap himself hard across the face.

"Ancient weapons? What ancient weapons are there, exactly? And why did Vegapunk suspect that an ancient weapon was hidden in Wano Country?"

"Come to think of it, this world's technology seems to have been cut off by some unknown force, creating a gap between eras. Even Vegapunk told you that much. As expected of research members
