How Could a Father Ruthlessly Try to Kill His Own Daughter, You Bastard!
The sudden and astonishing turn of events left Ace and Sabo dumbfounded, especially after the arrival of the tall woman wearing Hannya Mask and standing on dark clouds, which made them even more surprised.
"Thank you... please tell me your name. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"This nagging is so annoying! Get out of here, I have something I need to settle with this guy, get lost!"
For a moment, Ace stood frozen in place, staring at the iron rod pointing directly at the Azure Dragon. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped in his tracks.
"We're here to help you. At least we won't let those two guys down there interfere. Can you hold on, Sabo ..."
"No problem, it's just a minor injury. Compared to this, how could we brothers let the person who helped us die at the hands of this monster!"
Despite being caught in the flames and suffering some charring on his left arm Sabo laughed nonchalantly, showing no fear of death whatsoever.
"You two are so annoying, you're driving me crazy! Get out of here and stop interfering in other people's family matters. That bastard is going to die by my hand!"
The habit of shouting, the familiar iron rod, and the pair of bright red, blood-like horns immediately terrified Ember below.
"Hey, who is this guy? How dare he yell at Kaido like that? I'll personally cut him down right in front of Kaido..."
"Shut up, Sasaki... Young Master, why did you suddenly return to Wano Country? Where is Uchiha Huayue?! Where is he?!"
Before he could even react, Sasaki was startled by Jin's words. His pupils trembled as he looked up at the figure in the sky, unable to believe it.
"Young Master? Kaido has a daughter? How come we've never heard of her before?"
Startled awake by the azure lightning, Kaido, now completely sober, looked up at the sky in his human-beast form and gripped his iron rod tightly once more.
"Yamato? It's been over a decade. You've grown up, haven't you? What are you doing back in Wano Country? Did that guy abandon you? Waaaaaah..."
Kaido's sudden burst of laughter left everyone bewildered, but Ace gave Yamato look, his mind filled with suspicion.
"Hey, you're Kaido's daughter, why did you save us?"
"Very good, very good! Yamato, you've grown up well. Return to your Pops's side. My dream of Oni Country is still missing a general strong enough to lead everyone, and now you have that strength!!!"
An unprecedentedly shocking piece of news burst from Kaido's mouth, but Yamato was on Zeus's body, just snorted coldly.
"Father? How could a father so cruelly kill his Pops! You bastard, I will kill you with my own hands, Kaido of the Beasts!!!"
His figure suddenly transformed into an icy blue afterimage, flashing to Kaido's front with a speed beyond everyone's imagination.
"Divine Speed - White Serpent Exorcism!"
"Thunder Bagua!!!"
The clash of ice blue and purple lightning, a clash of domineering auras, caused Kaido to show a rare seriousness, allowing Ace and Sabo to take the opportunity to run towards the distant Amiasa Village.
"Yamato, you've imbued your weapon with Conqueror's Haki, so you've reached that level too?!"
"Enough with the nonsense, you damned Pops! This time, I'm going to smash your other horn to pieces..."
The terrifying tremors, like an earth dragon turning over, rumbled across this wasteland, their sound reaching as far as the Flower Capital in the distance.
On the other hand, within the Flower Capital, in the most famous arcade.
"Your Princess Hiyori, it really is Your Princess Hiyori! You... you weren't already in Kuri... how could this be?"
"Raise your head, Kyoshiro, or I'd rather call you Denjiro. I've returned to my country this time to avenge the grudges of the past and defeat Kaido."
Denjiro, dressed in flamboyant clothes and sporting a huge topknot, stood frozen in place.
"But, Lady Toki's special instructions, the twenty-year agreement still has four years left. Without the help of Kin'emon and the others, how could we possibly..."
"This isn't like you, Denjiro. Instead of pinning your hopes on some vague prophecy, why not take advantage of Wano Country's current weak defenses and drive Kaido out completely!"
"Yes, Princess Hiyori has come to visit in person, how could we possibly hide on Zunesha's back again and silently lick our wounds?"
Two tall figures burst through the door, causing Denjiro's eyes to redden.
"Inuarashi, Nekomamushi! You... you're still alive, that's wonderful!"
"Not only us, His Princess Hiyori also sent people to Udon, and they will soon be able to bring over the samurai, kappa, and Ashura Doji who are imprisoned in the quarry."
"This time, we must completely drive Kaido out of Wano Country and liberate him from the clutches of the Beast Pirates!"
Inuarashi spoke with a strong and resolute voice, his gaze falling upon his former colleague, whose appearance had been drastically altered by anger, and he sighed at the cruelty of time.
"Your Princess Hiyori, where have you been all these years? We've searched the entire Wano Country, but we still haven't found you or Momonosuke!"
It was only then that Denjiro realized what was happening. Hiyori, who was sitting in the main seat, tilted her head Hiyori pondered for a moment before answering with a smile.
"I was captured by someone incredibly strong, even stronger than Kaido of the Beasts. After leaving Wano Country, I've seen countless landscapes beyond Wano Country..."
"It was truly a wonderful experience, one that I will never forget."
Her eyes sparkled, and the girlish longing in her eyes made the retainers exchange awkward glances.
"Enough of that, now is not the time to talk about that. Gentlemen, gather all the warriors immediately. The time for a counterattack is today!"
The group exchanged glances and bowed their heads in agreement, until a tremor spread Flower Capital, at which point Hiyori's expression changed.
"Now that Kaido of the Beasts is being held back, you all must immediately follow me into the Flower Capital and cut off Kurozumi Orochi's head as a sacrifice to our father and mother."
On the other hand, the Flower Capital, the Shogun's Residence.
"Hehehehe, fill the cup! Fill the cup! This is truly fine wine..."
Inside the Shogun's Residence, a cacophony of decadent music filled the air, and amidst a throng of geishas, Kurozumi Orochi laughed heartily.
"General! The tremor we just witnessed has been investigated. It was Lord Kaido, the Guardian King of the Nation. Kaido is fighting someone!"
The Orochi Oniwabanshu, Fukurokuju, whispered something in Fukurokuju's ear, which immediately startled Kurozumi Orochi.
"What? Someone can fight Kaido of the Beasts? Who is the enemy? A samurai? Could it be a samurai from the Kozuki Family? Have the Kozuki Family's samurai returned?"
"There were still four years left, how could they have come back ahead of schedule? Is the prophecy about to come true?!"
At that moment, the Orochi fell flat on its back, unaware that even the small crown on its head had fallen to the ground.
Little did they know, at that moment, in front of the Shogun's Residence, Hiyori and the others stood at the gate, gazing into the distance.
"Your Princess Hiyori, it is best if we take the initiative now. Your noble status is not suited to put yourself in danger. It is better for you to be protected by the guards behind you..."
"No, I will personally wash away the shame that Kurozumi Orochi brought to my father with his head!"
