In the dead of night, the moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a dark and damp prison cell.
When Huayue straightened up, she realized that her hands and feet were shackled, and the pocket watch that Orochimaru had given her was nowhere to be found.
In addition, her expensive cloak, bandages, and undergarments also disappeared, leaving only a piece of undergarment.
"Where am I...?"
In the dark cage, many losers lay dying, leaning against the inside of the cage as they awaited their impending death.
"This is Hachinosu Island, and they are the losers! The losers who challenged Rocks, but unfortunately most of them were defeated by his pirates before they even saw Rocks."
"Don't let their weakened appearance fool you, they're all powerful individuals. Those without strength would have been killed long ago by Kaido, one blow from Rocks ' new crew. Heh heh..."
Outside the cage, an old pirate with one eye smiled strangely, then threw a bottle of cheap malt liquor into the cage.
"Are you hungry? Have this to fill your stomach. No need to thank me, it's your treat anyway..."
Hachinosu Island? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...
After a moment of silence, Huayue raised her head, her gentle smile making her seem less like a prisoner and more like a traveler asking for directions.
"Excuse me, what is the state of this world like? Also, what do you mean by me treating you to a meal?"
The old pirate casually turned his head and met those deep blue eyes. His shallow knowledge and his own worldview were laid bare before Huayue.
A moment later...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The many pirates on the verge of death looked up, and the scene before them completely overturned their previous understanding of the world.
"How... how is this possible? Those handcuffs are made of Seastone. How could Ability User still use their powers while handcuffed!"
"Melted... melted! Just how high a temperature is needed to melt Seastone!"
"Hahahaha! Fine, whoever you are, show that Rocks what he's made of, kill him!"
"Let me leave, let me leave this place, I'll do anything, just let me leave this place..."
Clang!
A flash of azure lightning disappeared in an instant, and the cage in front of him shattered with a deafening roar. Spiritual particles gathered beneath his feet, without a speck of dust remaining.
Amidst the cries for help from countless pirates, Huayue emerged from her cage and headed towards the bustling banquet in the distance.
The banquet appeared to be chaotic, but it extended outwards according to the guests' status.
On the edge of Hachinosu Island, a drunken, lame pirate was about to turn and go out to sea to relieve himself when he suddenly realized that a familiar figure was standing behind him.
"Hey, you... who are you?"
"Where are my clothes? And that metal pocket watch, could you please return them to me?"
His gentle smile momentarily stunned the lame pirate. Then, he looked around and, seeing that everyone around him was one of his own, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Your things are all with Boss Rocks now. Even if I told you that, would you dare to ask Rocks for them? I advise you not to court death..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huayue nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the iconic building of Hachinosu Island, the huge Kitsuchi skull.
"Thank you for your cooperation..."
Pfft! Bang bang bang...
The ground beneath the pirates' feet suddenly changed; on the green, prismatic metal, gravity, hundreds of times greater than normal, crushed them into mincemeat.
Strands of blood oozed out, soaking the earth, and terrified the pirates who were watching from afar, who were preparing to watch the show.
"What did he just do? How did these people suddenly..."
" Ability User! This must be Ability User, but what kind of ability is it? Gravity? Compression!"
"Hey, that guy's heading towards Boss Rocks..."
At this moment, the pirates looked at each other in confusion and hurriedly fled to the open area. If they did not leave, they would likely be caught in the aftermath of the battle that was about to break out.
Hachinosu Island, Central Plaza.
Many famous pirates gathered together, most of whom had bounties of tens of millions of Beli, with only a small number having bounties of over one hundred million.
Most of the pirates paid no attention to the unfamiliar faces that suddenly approached, instead drinking their wine with great interest.
Every day, a bunch of fools come to challenge Captain Rocks D. Xebec for fame, and some guys challenge the officers in order to Rocks Pirates.
In recent years, only one Kaido has become a new captain, but that does not diminish the fact that the Rocks Pirates are still the most powerful force on the seas.
"Hey, how long do you think this guy can last?"
I guess five seconds!
"That took too long, I guess only three seconds..."
A malevolent gaze swept across the room, ignoring the stares of countless ants. After a moment of scrutiny, Huayue finally locked onto a finely crafted metal pocket watch.
At this moment, it landed at the feet of a human who was not very old, but was very large and had bull horns.
"Hey! You little bull-headed brat, give me that pocket watch!"
In an instant, all was silent. Kaido, who was drinking heartily, turned his head and finally looked at himself.
"Bullhead brat? That guy... is calling me!"
"MaMaMaMa, it looks like they're calling you, Kaido..."
With clouds and the sun drifting around her, the gigantic Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily, further displeasing Kaido.
"You bastard, you really want this thing? Then come and get it yourself!"
Kaido raised his large foot and exerted force, his Haki expanding instantly, as he stomped down on the pocket watch below.
Bang!
A powerful burst of black and purple lightning erupted, touching an Invisibility, invisible barrier. Black Lightning flashed in all directions, yet they could not destroy the paper-thin barrier.
A fierce wind howled, Kaido raised his head, meeting her gaze.
The next moment, countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood surged forth, instantly converging into a world of black and red.
"In the next 720 hours, I will use this katana to pierce your kidney. Time, space, mass... everything here will be defined by me."
"Execution, begin!"
In the blink of an eye, Kaido's eyes turned bloodshot, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
With a flick of her finger, Huayue's pocket watch fell into her hand, its slow hands creating a stark contrast with the surrounding time and space.
" Kaido!"
It wasn't until Charlotte Linlin shouted that Whitebeard, Stussy, Wang Zhi, Flame Flower, and the others, who had been indifferent to the situation, turned around.
Not far away, groups of pirates were discussing amongst themselves, turning their heads in disbelief to witness the shocking scene unfold before their eyes.
"What happened?"
"I didn't see it clearly, that guy didn't even raise his hand, he just glared at me... Kaido fainted!"
"Don't be ridiculous, is it Conqueror's Haki? How could someone faint from fright just by glaring at you..."
In an instant, Charlotte Linlin, who had been enjoying watching the show, stood up, furious.
"You bastard, what have you done to my brother! Prometheus, Napoleon! Emperor Sword, Elbaf Spear!"
"Too noisy, Sage Art: Tailed Beast Bomb - Spiraling Ring."
