"Worororo~ You've gotten more 'daring' than last time, angel brat!"
After this exchange, Kaido realized Sephiroth really had become "more respectable" than before. Still, he had yet to see him use Armament Haki, which was something of a disappointment.
Then Kaido looked at the cargo at the port, and his eyes lit up. Under the terrified gazes of the Wano Country residents, he pulled out a jar of liquor.
