Kaido Attacks!

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

That furious roar

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

It was like a small earthquake had just struck.

At the same time,

along with that roar came the aftershock of powerful Conqueror's Haki, which Roya and the others all sensed at once.

"This power..."

Caught off guard by the sudden shock, Sengoku furrowed his brow, seemingly having already figured something out.

Even Admiral Kizaru frowned deeply.

Right after that,

another roar rang out.

"Sengoku, Garp, get out here!"

This roar was faintly accompanied by a dragon's cry.

Garp walked over to Sengoku, rubbed his fists, and said calmly, "I didn't expect Kaido to actually show up right after we mentioned him!"

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

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

So,

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

"So he came after all."

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

"This time, we have gathered the Navy's elite from all over the world, as well as the strength of every Shichibukai, all to face the Four Emperors."

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

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

Moreover, Sengoku's tone was brimming with confidence, showing not the slightest fear of Kaido of the Beasts.

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

"Garp, Roya, let's go out too!" Sengoku said.

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

Garp asked Roya, "So, Kaido has come knocking. Do you regret capturing Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack?"

"Regret?"

"I do regret it."

"I regret not killing those two back then!"

Roya said calmly.

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

At Marine Headquarters, Marineford Plaza.

A massive Azure Dragon circled through the sky above, presenting an immensely shocking sight.

Yet down in 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 were still away carrying out missions and were not at Marine Headquarters.

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

"Oh my, a giant dragon. One of the Four Emperors, Kaido—how terrifying," Admiral Kizaru teased mockingly.

Not only that, but in response to the Navy's summons, the Shichibukai who had received word had all arrived as well.

Hawkeye Mihawk, Empress Hancock, Bartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moria, and Blackbeard Teach—the Shichibukai were all here, sensing Kaido of the Beasts in his Azure Dragon Form in the sky.

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

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

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

Only Hawkeye Mihawk and Bartholomew Kuma remained exceptionally calm, standing there and looking up at Kaido in his Azure Dragon Form.

Very soon,

Sengoku arrived with Roya and Garp.

All the Shichibukai briefly turned their attention toward Sengoku and the others, though more of them focused on Roya at Sengoku's side.

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

The other Shichibukai remained merely curious when they saw Roya.

Only Blackbeard Teach was different!

When he saw Roya, he could not help furrowing his brow. In truth, Blackbeard Teach hated Roya so much his teeth itched, though he did not show it.

As for Roya,

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

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

Was this Four Emperor Kaido truly 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 will definitely destroy your Marineford today!"

After the roar,

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

"Kaido, it's been a long time. Looks like you've been missing this old man's fists, haven't you?"

Before Sengoku could speak, Garp stepped forward and shouted first.

Although Kaido had indeed come to challenge Marine Headquarters many times before, and the Navy had truly been unable to kill him, he would inevitably suffer a serious beating each time.

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

Looking at Garp, Kaido laughed heartily. Facing the legendary Marine Vice Admiral Garp, he showed no intention of backing down.

"Is that so? Then let's try again?" Garp cracked his knuckles, looking as though he truly intended to fight.

"Hahahahaha!"

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

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

Kaido was incomparably arrogant, not taking Sengoku and the others seriously at all.

"Kaido! Don't be so arrogant. Slaughter our 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!
