The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air

"It's him!"

"You've got to be kidding!"

"Why is he here?"

At the same time, Kid's subordinates immediately recognized the man's identity.

Although he was stuck headfirst in a crater like an upside-down onion, there was only one person in the New World who dressed like that!

Kaido of the Beasts!

One of the Four Emperors, the man known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air!

"Ow, ow, ow..."

Just then, Kaido pulled himself out of the crater and rubbed his head, unable to stop himself from crying out in pain. Yet when he saw that his body was still as lively as ever, he could not help sighing.

"Why am I still alive? I jumped down from Skypiea, and even that couldn't kill me. What else is there in this world worth trying!"

From the sound of it, he had jumped from Skypiea in an attempt to kill himself, only to fail.

"Skypiea should be ten thousand meters above here, right?"

"He jumped from ten thousand meters up and didn't die?"

"Looks like he only has a headache. His body isn't damaged at all!"

"Is this a dream?"

"..."

Hearing this, the already stunned crowd became even more shocked.

He had jumped from a height of ten thousand meters and only had a headache, without a single injury on his body. Was he even human? "Damn it, why is Kaido here? Did he come for me?"

Kid's expression darkened as he looked at Kaido before him.

He absolutely did not believe this was a coincidence! What kind of person was a Four Emperor? Their intelligence, strength, and scheming had all reached the pinnacle. Though they might have strange quirks, such as Big Mom's Eating Disorder, Shanks's obsession with alcohol, or Blackbeard's enormous appetite, none of that mattered.

Since Kaido had appeared here, there was definitely a reason for it!

With that thought, he immediately gave the order. Lock onto Kaido and attack at once.

So what if the other side was a Four Emperor? Kid feared no one! "Boom!"

Battle erupted at once as Kid and the members of the Kid Pirates charged Kaido madly, determined to defeat this Four Emperor!

"Wano Country is a very special country. It has remained closed off for years and is extremely hostile to outsiders. It never joined the World Government. Since ancient times, Wano Country has been ruled by the Kozuki Family, but twenty-eight years ago, Kurozumi Orochi, head of the Kurozumi Family, joined forces with Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, and overthrew the Kozuki Family. So Wano Country is now ruled by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido of the Beasts. Once we get there, we must hide our identities first."

At that moment, aboard the Thousand Sunny, Nami guided the ship while introducing the situation in Wano Country. Then she laid out the plan they had settled on.

"Our plan is this: once the four of us arrive in Wano Country, we need to disguise ourselves immediately and not reveal our identities. The time isn't right yet. We can only act once Law sends word from his side. Hey, Luffy, I'm mainly talking about you!"

As Nami spoke, she saw that Luffy had actually fallen asleep while listening, and immediately shouted angrily.

However, perhaps because of his battle with Bullet, Luffy was exhausted. He did not wake up even from that.

"Let him get some proper sleep."

Seeing this, Moonlight shook his head. There was no point telling Luffy anyway. With Luffy's personality, he definitely would not follow their plan.

In fact, Luffy already had a plan for dealing with Kaido in his heart. Of course, no one would agree to it.

"I'll prepare some food."

Sanji immediately went to prepare food, because he knew that once Luffy woke up, he would definitely eat and drink like crazy.

"Ah, fine!"

Nami could only sigh helplessly.

After that, Moonlight took charge as the four sailed toward Wano Country.

They were not particularly far from Wano Country, but they still sailed for a full day and night. At noon the next day, Luffy finally woke up. After wolfing down the food Sanji had prepared, he immediately regained his energy and patted his belly spiritedly.

"Wano Country, here I come!"

Seeing this, Nami felt even more helpless. However, this was clearly not the time to fuss over such things. She gathered the four together, went over the plan once more, and had the three of them change their names.

"Why am I called Luffy-taro?"

Luffy immediately protested upon hearing his new name.

However, his protest was ignored.

Though Sanji was speechless over his new name, Sanji-goro, there seemed to be nothing he could do. Besides, since Nami had chosen it, it did not matter what he was called.

"Moonlight. Festival. That's my new name?"

Moonlight was speechless too. Whoever had come up with this name was truly a genius!

Nami was called Nami-ko, Zoro was called Zoro Juro, Chopper was called Chopper-emon, Franky was called Franky-nosuke, Usopp was called Usohachi, Robin was called Orobi, and Brook was called Bonekichi.

"What? You have objections?"

Seeing the dissatisfied looks on their faces, Nami immediately glared at the three of them menacingly.

The three hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads. How could they dare have any more objections?

Only then did Nami nod in satisfaction. With the plan settled, all that remained was to reach Wano Country.

"Bang!"

However, just then, the ship seemed to collide with something.

The four of them looked down from the ship.

They immediately saw a school of carp that had appeared around the Thousand Sunny at some point.

These carp were enormous and incredibly fast. As they swam through the sea, they caused the surrounding currents to shift along with them.

Then, countless cliffside waterfalls appeared ahead. At the center of the waterfalls was a massive, super-sized whirlpool, seemingly formed by the carp stirring the waters.

Clearly, there was no path ahead.

"Wano Country has no coastline along the sea. Once we reach this point, the road is effectively at its end. The only way to get into Wano Country now is to have these carp pull us in."

Nami spoke at that moment.

Apparently, she had learned the geographic and maritime layout of Wano Country in detail from Kin'emon of the Foxfire and the others beforehand.

Although there was no path in sight, this was, to her, a marker that they had reached Wano Country.

"The carp will pull us in?"

"Into that whirlpool ahead?"

Moonlight and the other two were shocked by Nami's words!

Carp pulling a ship? What kind of joke was that? And there was no road ahead—she wanted them to enter the whirlpool?

Wouldn't they be torn to pieces in an instant? "That's right. Haven't you heard the legend of Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate?"

Yet Nami was not surprised by their expressions and simply continued.

She found it unbelievable too, but considering Wano Country's unique location, they had no other choice.

After all, cliffside waterfalls lay ahead. They had nowhere else to go.

"Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate?"

"There's a legend like that?"

The three looked at Nami upon hearing this, but before she could answer, the carp around them suddenly began moving, pulling the Thousand Sunny toward the whirlpool.
