Lock Kaido in Impel Down

Because of that one sentence.

Roya, who had been brimming with killing intent, stopped.

"That's it? One of the Four Emperors, Kaido?" Roya mocked.

Faced with Roya's ridicule,

Kaido had completely lost his imposing aura and continued saying, "I lost. I surrender!"

That's right!

Kaido had admitted defeat and surrendered!

Kaido, known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, had felt a summons from death itself in Roya.

Kaido knew very well that if he did not decisively surrender, his life would end right here.

Of course,

Kaido had surrendered not only to save his life, but because he had other schemes as well.

Kaido had once believed that, with his strength, he would surely conquer the entire world given enough time.

But after witnessing Roya's power, he was deeply shaken, and a scheme suddenly formed in his mind.

That was Roya's power!

However,

although the turmoil throughout Marineford had settled down,

everyone was still in an uproar.

"Kaido actually surrendered?"

"My God! Rear Admiral Roya actually won!"

"..."

"Th-this..." Even Hancock was stunned.

"Roya... that guy is terrifying," Mihawk said, frowning deeply.

"Roya is too terrifying! No, I have to complete the plan. Otherwise..." Blackbeard Teach had become thoroughly afraid of Roya, and his resolve hardened once more.

Upon hearing that Kaido had willingly surrendered, Fleet Admiral Sengoku immediately stepped forward and nodded approvingly at Roya. "Roya, well done!"

Roya merely smiled at Sengoku's praise and said nothing.

Then,

Fleet Admiral Sengoku turned to look at Kaido.

"Kaido, choosing to surrender to the Marines is the wisest decision you could have made. Considering your..." Fleet Admiral Sengoku began righteously.

But,

before Sengoku could finish, Kaido immediately regained his fierce gaze and glared straight at him.

"Sengoku, do you think I surrendered to your Marines?"

"Don't be naive! Are you worthy?"

"I didn't surrender to the Marines. I only surrendered to a true expert like Roya. What does it have to do with you?"

Kaido showed Sengoku no respect at all and directly lashed out at him.

"You..."

Sengoku's face instantly turned red from Kaido's retort. In the end, he could only order the other Marines to bring Seastone handcuffs and securely restrain Kaido.

At that moment,

Admiral Kizaru, Borsalino, flashed over using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, how should Kaido's crimes be dealt with next? A public execution, or imprisonment in Impel Down?" Admiral Kizaru, Borsalino, asked.

That truly was a problem.

Logically speaking, publicly executing one of the Four Emperors, Kaido, would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Marines.

Unfortunately, although Kaido had been defeated, actually executing him would still be difficult.

Unless the executioner was Roya!

After all, only Roya could defeat Kaido!

But the Marines still had their original plan to carry out, so executing Kaido at a time like this was somewhat unsuitable.

Thus, Fleet Admiral Sengoku made a prompt decision.

"Roya, if possible, could you escort Kaido to Impel Down? What do you think?" Sengoku looked at Roya. This time, his tone was not that of a superior issuing an order to a subordinate, but one of discussion.

That was the symbol of strength!

Although Garp said nothing beside them, he nodded as well.

They all knew very well that Kaido was a man full of schemes. If an ordinary person escorted him, he might very well escape midway. Therefore, if they truly wanted to imprison Kaido, only Roya, who could suppress him, was suitable.

"Alright, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I don't mind," Roya said.

He truly did not mind. He was familiar with Impel Down anyway, and for Roya, no matter where he went, he could not escape automatic cultivation.

The moment he heard they were heading to Impel Down, Blackbeard Teach's eyes lit up.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, since Kaido is being escorted to Impel Down, why not let us Seven Warlords accompany him as well?" Blackbeard Teach suggested.

"That's right, let's go together!" Gecko Moria hurried over, glaring viciously at the bound Kaido as he spoke.

Actually,

Blackbeard Teach and Gecko Moria both had ulterior motives. Did anyone really think they were being so kind as to help the Marines? They merely had their own objectives.

"I only came to witness the power of one of the Four Emperors. I have no interest in going to Impel Down." Mihawk turned and left.

"So do I," Hancock said, doing the same.

As for Bartholomew Kuma, he said nothing. Holding the book in his hands, he turned and departed as well.

Sengoku glanced at Blackbeard Teach and Gecko Moria. After thinking for a moment, he was just about to agree to their request.

But Roya directly interrupted Sengoku. "There's no need for them. I alone am enough."

Roya actually knew what Blackbeard Teach and Gecko Moria were thinking. He had no interest in their plans and did not intend to stop them, but he simply could not be bothered to let them follow him around and annoy him.

"Roya, don't think that you..." Gecko Moria said unhappily.

"What did you say?"

Roya did not indulge him. He turned his head and shot him a fierce glare, releasing a wave of Conqueror's Haki.

At the sight of it, Gecko Moria trembled. Sweat streamed uncontrollably down his forehead, and he did not dare say another word.

Blackbeard Teach was the same. With a grim expression, he did not dare utter a single extra word.

After all, Roya was someone who had beaten Kaido into crying surrender. They were no match for him now. If Roya truly lost his temper, forget exchanging a few moves—perhaps they would not even be able to withstand a single strike from him.

"Good. Then it's decided. Roya will personally escort him. Depart immediately!" Sengoku said.

And so,

Kaido was escorted to the port of Marine Headquarters.

Before leaving, Kaido still made a wild declaration. "Sengoku, Garp, do you think Impel Down can hold me? One day, I will return and raze your Marine Headquarters to the ground!"

The warship escorting Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, had already set sail.

This incident could be considered concluded.

Inside the cabin, Roya reflected on his battle with Kaido.

"The Tenseigan really is powerful. It's a pity that its current ability level is still too low," Roya remarked.

That was indeed the case.

If he could bring the Tenseigan's power to its fullest extent, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion could even split the moon apart!

Yet when fighting Kaido, although Roya had used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, its power had still been far from sufficient.

"No, I have to become even stronger!" Roya clenched his fist and silently swore.
