The Monster of the Big Mom Pirates

New World,

Onigashima, Wano Country.

"Did you find anything?"

Kaido sat high upon his governor's throne, holding a massive gourd of wine. He took a huge swig, then asked King below him.

Ever since Eagle had been urgently called back two days ago, Kaido had ordered someone to investigate whether something had happened within the Navy that had made that woman Tsuru so eager to summon her son home. But King's answer was—

"We found nothing. All we know is that the Navy has been rather tense lately and is pulling back its forces. It seems something major has happened!"

King shook his head. Their influence in the first half of the Grand Line was relatively weak, so they had found no useful intelligence. The only thing they knew was that the Navy had become tense over the past two days, and...

He raised his head and looked at his governor.

"There have also been quite a few World Government and Navy surveillance ships in the waters near us recently. I suspect they may be preparing for some major move!"

The World Government had moved quickly. Almost the moment the Five Elders learned that Oak had returned to the seas and issued their orders, they had sent additional personnel to monitor the territories of Oak's former old friends.

Kaido paused in the middle of drinking, then coldly gave the order,

"Smash them!"

The World Government held absolute rule over the Four Seas and Paradise, the first half of the Grand Line. But this was the New World, the domain of sea emperors like them. Naturally, Kaido would not allow anyone to run wild on his turf.

No matter what the World Government was planning, he only needed to crush it
