Luo Ji gave the three yakuza samurai a flat look, a playful smile on his face.

"I am none other than Beast Kaido's son-in-law, what kind of nobody are you?!"

Looking at these samurai in Wano Country attire and topknots, Luo Ji drew the Nidai Kitetsu at his waist and slashed straight at them.

Facing such an arrogant and unidentified outsider, not to mention the shock of these yakuza samurai, even the surrounding residents were in an uproar.

"He actually cut down a samurai from the Kyushokai under the Mawarimawari-gumi!"

"Look at that tsuba, that pattern—could it be the legendary cursed blade?!"

"Is he the Guardian Myoo's son-in-law?"

"Lord Kaido has a daughter?"

···

Amid the shock and heated discussion of the surrounding residents and samurai, the three yakuza samurai were cut down to the ground in just a few exchanges.

Tama looked at all this with a hint of fear.

"Tama, remember these samurai. They are all accomplices who caused the deaths of your parents."

"When dealing with enemies, you do not need to show any mercy."

Luo Ji had no intention of coddling this little girl, nor did he need subordinates who were too kind or weak.

"I... I understand, Lord Luo Ji. I will definitely become the Beast Taming Queen!"

Tama tried her best to adapt to this cruel slaughter. Big Brother Luo Ji was her only family, and she could not let him down.

"Very good! Next, you go into the Scroll World and keep Komachiyo company."

After letting Tama see blood, Luo Ji stopped her from witnessing any more cruel battles.

As Luo Ji put Tama away, more and more yakuza samurai gathered around.

Even the grunts of the Beasts Pirates surrounded them.

They wanted to see what kind of trash dared to cause trouble on the territory of the Beasts Pirates.

"Shall I borrow that guy's name to make a big name for myself?"

Luo Ji suddenly smiled. When traveling abroad, you give yourself your own identity.

Besides, with this surname, Yamato—that fellow who desperately wanted to go out to sea—would surely stick to him on her own initiative.

In the future, when he raised his flag and called out upon the seas, powerhouses from all sides would surely look up to him with admiration.

Anyway, he also possessed the aptitude of a king and the ability of Observation Haki to hear the Voice of All Things.

However, this would also double his level of danger.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji wore a crazy smile.

Without danger and thrills, how could he rise in the shortest possible time?!

"Bastard! What kind of person are you?! How dare you impersonate Governor Kaido's son-in-law!"

"Kill him!"

The grunts of the Beasts Pirates cursed loudly. They only knew Kaido had a son, so where would he have a daughter?

This foreign invader had not even gathered proper intelligence, and they had to butcher him!

With the Beasts Pirates taking the lead in the charge, those gangsters and samurai became increasingly rampant, drawing their swords and roaring one by one.

"Listen up, scum! My name is Gol D. Luo Ji, a man who is going to upend the seas!"

Luo Ji shouted with extraordinary arrogance, and this cry immediately stunned the minor cadres and ants of the Beasts Pirates.

But fierce mockery erupted right after.

"Ahahaha! What kind of trash is this? Is he imitating the Pirate King Roger?!"

"Even if Roger were alive, he wouldn't be a match for our Governor Kaido!"

"Our Lord Kaido is the strongest creature on land, sea, and air!"

"Kill this attention-seeking bastard!"

···

Amid the irritable remarks of the Beasts Pirates members, a large horde of Beast grunts and yakuza samurai swarmed forward, rushing toward Luo Ji.

"Nidai Kitetsu, let you drink your fill today!"

Luo Ji's cursed blade was coated with Advanced Armament Haki and ghostly intent.

"Let's have a good hunt today!"

"Kill!!"

Luo Ji did not feel a shred of fear, acting as if he simply regarded this as a VR virtual slaughter.

He was going to slaughter all these Wano Country samurai and Beast barbarians!

"Ah~" xN

With just a single charge, a large number of yakuza samurai and Beast grunts fell, a massive spray of fresh blood splashing through the air.

"He has Armament Haki! Hurry and call the Headliner for reinforcements!"

"That's Advanced Armament Haki, quickly ask the boss for help!"

"What kind of sword style is that?! It looks a bit like the Zansetsu Sword Technique of the Karyu-ryu!"

"Impossible! This looks like the Oden-ryu Swordsmanship!"

···

Amid the panicked cries of the yakuza samurai and Beast members, people continually fell, their miserable screams ringing out endlessly.

"This is a master swordsman! Run!"

The residents who had been watching the commotion quickly distanced themselves from the battlefield, terrified of being caught in the slash shockwaves.

This slaughter lasted for less than half an hour, and already over a hundred people had fallen.

The young man who had been on a murderous rampage actually escaped and vanished just before the reinforcements of the Beasts Pirates arrived.

When Queen the Plague, who garrisoned the Seastone mine, and Warden Babanuki rushed over, there was long since no trace of anyone left.

"Gol D. Luo Ji? What kind of guy is this? An imitator?!"

"How dare he cause trouble on my turf, though—hurry up and search, catch him!!"

Queen the Plague cursed angrily, dispatching a large number of subordinates and underlings to search the area.

This invader truly pissed him off to the extreme.

One had to know that Beast Kaido had just prepared to set off on a great overseas expedition to take down the Red Hair Pirates for a round.

As a result, a slight disturbance had broken out on Queen's own territory. How could Queen not be angry?

The Red Hair Pirates, who had only become a Yonko two years ago, had actually expanded their territory right to the borders of Beast territory.

Even islands under the banner of the Beasts Pirates had actively sought protection from the Red Hair Pirates, betraying the Beasts Pirates.

How could the Beasts Pirates swallow this insult?

The protection money charged by the Beasts Pirates was a bit high, and the factories they built were a bit numerous, but being able to fly the banner of the Beasts was a blessing for those islands.

Now they actually dared to betray the Beasts Pirates. This time, they were going to suppress the Red Hair Pirates and annihilate those traitorous islands along the way.

They would let everyone see that a veteran Yonko who had dominated the New World for ten or twenty years was not something a rookie Yonko like the Red Hair Pirates could compare to!

Under the large-scale search by Udon's military forces and yakuza members, that arrogant Luo Ji had completely vanished.

They searched for three consecutive days without any news.

A cursing Queen the Plague could only leave the Seastone mine and return to the fortress of Onigashima.

Because the Beasts Pirates were already fully prepared to set off on a great overseas expedition to crush the Red Hair Pirates and punish those traitorous islands.

Regarding the incident in Udon, Queen the Plague simply made a casual report upward.

···

Inside the Onigashima fortress castle.

The Beasts Pirates were holding a mobilization rally for a great expedition, with all the All-Stars and Tobi Roppo in attendance.

The young Ulti and Page One had only recently relied on their powerful Ancient Zoan Ryu Ryu no Mi abilities to defeat the previous Tobi Roppo and secure a promotion.

This grand expedition was the perfect opportunity for them to make a name for themselves and raise their bounties.

Therefore, young and full of vigor as they were, they appeared incomparably excited and greatly anticipated this grand expedition.

Didn't those cadres of the Red Hair Pirates boast the highest and most evenly distributed bounties?!

Well then, this brother and sister duo would step on the reputation of the Red Hair Pirates to rise to the top.

At this mobilization banquet, Queen the Plague only briefly mentioned the matter of Luo Ji, feeling that he was merely an attention-seeking clown.

He had gotten a bit bold after killing a few grunts, making him completely unworthy of concern.

Leaving behind a few Headliners to guard the Seastone mine would be more than enough to handle this little fellow.

Yet a masked person sitting in the corner of the banquet had eyes that suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance.

She absolutely had to go and see this foreign invader named Gol D. Luo Ji.

Perhaps she could finally go out to sea successfully, just like Kozuki Oden!
