"Where's Zack?"
The CP0 Chief saw the Overlord Dragon Pirates' forces, their four Dragon People officers—Longen, Anz, Jose, and Amos—and the other Dragon People warriors. The only one missing was their captain, Zack.
He raised the question.
"Our boss just fought Demon King Nash. He's on his way back and will definitely make it in time," Longen said confidently, folding his arms.
"We're more than enough to wipe out Wano Country on our own, aren't we? There's no need for our boss to step in."
"Let's get moving," Jose urged with a smile. "Most of the Overlord Dragon Pirates' fighting strength is here, after all."
"Then let's go."
The CP0 Chief gave it no further thought. He and Zack were old adversaries. He had watched Zack grow stronger, and despite knowing better, he had always thought of Zack as something of a brute.
With that, he spread his wings and seized the ropes in his claws. Lifting a vast platform carrying thousands of people, he took to the sky as a giant dragon.
This was an aerial assault. The faster, the better.
The CP0 Chief had no intention of letting so many people ride on his back, so he had chosen this method instead.
The Overlord Dragon Pirates had long since learned where the people of Wano Country had gathered.
At the order, the Overlord Dragon Pirates' warships along the coast closed in on shore. Anyone who tried to escape would be met with a barrage of fire.
The people still alive in Wano Country noticed something strange along the coast.
Their sensitivity to their surroundings told them something was wrong.
Kozuki Oden sensed that powerful, familiar presence from far away. It was drawing closer.
His brow furrowed as he drew the two swords at his waist, ready for battle.
