At the edge of the battlefield, King's expression changed drastically as he transformed into an ancient pterosaur once more, circling through the sky.
Elsewhere in Wano Country, the sounds of waves upon waves of samurai battling the Beasts Pirates reached King's ears through his Observation Haki.

The relentless turmoil made veins bulge on King's forehead. He glared hatefully at the figure locked in battle with the icy-blue phantom.
"These bastards picked the moment we were tied down fighting Big Mom! And that disgraceful traitor, our young master, had to show up too!"
"Lord Kaido, Orochi is dead and the samurai have rebelled! Stop tangling with the young master and put down the rebellion first!"
King's shout immediately brought Kaido back to his senses. He swung the Hassaikai in a full circle, thunderstorm energy wrapping around his body. The countless club shadows that followed did not shake Yamato's expression in the slightest.
