Aboard the warship bound for Punk Hazard.
The ship suddenly shuddered.
Sakazuki pushed open the cabin door and stepped out.
He looked at Carol, who was supervising training outside.
"That fellow woke up again."
Carol said helplessly:
"Looks like it. He certainly is full of energy."
"Just what you'd expect from a Mythical Zoan user."
"His recovery is far beyond ordinary."
Sakazuki said:
"Then let him sleep a little longer."
With that, he headed for the prison in the bottom of the ship.
Inside the prison.
Kaido's body was bound in seastone chains.
Layer upon layer of chains.
They wrapped him up like a massive iron ball.
Several chains as thick as an arm were attached to Kaido.
Their ends were secured to the surrounding walls, anchoring them to the hull.
Kaido struggled wildly on the floor.
His immense strength made the ship rock.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
Seeing Sakazuki push the door open and enter, a shadow crossed Kaido's eyes.
His hatred erupted alongside his Conqueror's Haki.
Sakazuki remained unmoved.
He slowly walked up to Kaido and chuckled.
He took out a sheet of paper.
"Kaido."
"Born in the Vodka Kingdom on the Grand Line."
"At just ten years old, you became the kingdom's strongest warrior."
"Sixteen years ago."
"To become one of the World Government Member States."
"And gain a voice in its council."
"The Vodka Kingdom sold you to the government for experiments."
Kaido's eyes turned bloodshot, and he lost all reason.
"AAAAAAAH!!!"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!"
His body thrashed wildly.
The warship rocked violently with him.
This was the deepest scar in his heart.
Betrayed by his country, treated as a rare material for experimentation.
He had thought he had long since forgotten all of it.
Now, someone had laid it bare.
There was no way
