Kaido Attacks!

"Hand over Jack and Donquixote Doflamingo, or I'll destroy your Marine Headquarters!"

That furious roar

echoed across the heavens, making even the office where Roya and the others were tremble.

It was like a minor earthquake had just struck.

At the same time,

along with that roar came the residual force of powerful Conqueror's Haki, which Roya and the others all felt.

"This power..."

Startled by the sudden shock, Sengoku furrowed his brows, seemingly having already figured something out.

Even Admiral Kizaru frowned deeply.

Right after that,

another roar came from outside.

"Sengoku, Garp, get out here!"

This roar was faintly accompanied by the cry of a dragon.

Garp walked over to Sengoku, rubbed his fists, and said calmly, "Didn't expect it. We were just talking about Kaido, and he really showed up!"

After all, Kaido of the Beasts had not come to Marine Headquarters at Marineford to provoke them for the first time.

Garp and Sengoku had fought him before, so they naturally recognized Kaido's presence immediately.

So,

the two of them instantly recognized that powerful presence as Kaido of the Beasts.

"So he really came."

"But does Kaido really think Marine Headquarters is so easy to break into?"

"This time, we gathered the elite Marines from all over the world, along with the strength of every Seven Warlord, specifically to face the Four Emperors."

"Since Whitebeard hasn't come, but Kaido arrived first, we'll treat this as an early drill!"

Looking at Garp standing beside him, Sengoku recovered from his surprise and said with a smile.

Sengoku's voice was filled with confidence, without the slightest hint of fear toward Kaido of the Beasts.

"My, how terrifying, Mr. Sengoku. I'll go take a look first." Admiral Kizaru said this, then transformed into a beam of light and vanished from the spot.

"Garp, Roya, we're heading out too!" Sengoku said.

"Let's go!" Garp and Roya nodded at the same time.

Garp asked Roya, "Now that Kaido has come knocking, do you regret capturing Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack?"

"Regret?"

"I do regret it."

"I regret not killing the two of them back then!"

Roya answered calmly.

"Hahahahaha! You've got the same idea as this old man. I'm liking you more and more, kid," Garp said with a laugh.

At Marine Headquarters, on the Marineford plaza.

A massive azure dragon circled through the sky, an incredibly shocking sight.

Meanwhile, on the plaza,

countless Marines had already assembled.

Kizaru stood in the center, along with several vice admirals led by Momonga.

As for the other two admirals, Akainu and Aokiji, they were still away on missions and were not currently at Marine Headquarters.

Thus, Kizaru was the only admiral currently at Marine Headquarters.

"Oh my, a giant dragon. Four Emperor Kaido is so terrifying," Admiral Kizaru teased.

Not only that, but the Seven Warlords who had answered the Marine summons were all present as well.

Hawkeye Mihawk, Empress Hancock, Bartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moria, and Blackbeard Teach—these Seven Warlords were all here, sensing Kaido of the Beasts in his dragon form above.

"Kaido!" The one whose teeth immediately clenched in hatred upon seeing Kaido was Gecko Moria.

"So this is Kaido, the Four Emperor known as the strongest creature?" Empress Hancock said with a frown.

"Zehahahaha! Whitebeard hasn't arrived, but trouble came first. This is getting more and more interesting!" Blackbeard Teach laughed sinisterly.

Only Hawkeye Mihawk and Bartholomew Kuma stood there with extreme calm, looking up at Kaido's azure dragon form.

Very soon,

Sengoku arrived with Roya and Garp.

All the Seven Warlords temporarily turned their gazes toward Sengoku and the others, though most of their attention was on Roya beside Sengoku.

After all, the news that Roya had locked Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought in Impel Down had long spread through Marine Headquarters.

The other Seven Warlords merely looked at Roya with curiosity.

Only Blackbeard Teach was different!

When he saw Roya, he could not help furrowing his brows. Blackbeard Teach truly hated Roya to the bone, but he did not show it.

As for Roya,

he knew Blackbeard Teach was nearby, but he did not even spare him a glance.

In Roya's eyes, there was only Kaido circling in midair.

Was this Four Emperor Kaido really that strong?

That was the only thought in Roya's mind!

When Kaido saw Sengoku and the others emerge, he let out another roar, spewing a terrifying dragon breath from his mouth.

"Sengoku, hand over Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack. Oh, and hand over that rear admiral named Roya too. Otherwise, I'll definitely destroy your Marineford today!"

After the roar,

that terrifying dragon breath struck the open ground of Marineford plaza, causing an instant explosion and blasting a huge black crater into the earth.

"Kaido, it's been a long time. Looks like you've been missing this old man's fists, huh?"

Before Sengoku could speak, Garp was the first to step forward and shout.

Although Kaido had indeed come to Marine Headquarters many times to challenge them, and the Marines truly had not been able to kill him, he inevitably suffered a beating every time.

"Garp, do you really think you can kill me?"

Looking at Garp, Kaido laughed heartily. He showed no intention of backing down before the legendary Marine vice admiral Garp.

"Is that so? Then let's try again." Garp rubbed his fists together, looking as though he truly wanted to fight.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Garp, you're nothing but a remnant of the old era. Who do you think you are?"

"I'll say it one last time. Hand over Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack. Oh, and hand over that rear admiral named Roya too. Otherwise, I'll definitely destroy your Marineford today and slaughter every last one of your Marines!"

Kaido was utterly arrogant, not putting Sengoku and the others in his eyes at all.

"Kaido! Stop being so arrogant. You want to slaughter the Marines?"

"Marine Headquarters will not allow you to run wild here!"

"I will not agree to your demands!"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku righteously rejected Kaido's demands!
