"That wasn't even enough to scratch an itch."
As Yas's words, dripping with utter contempt, stabbed into everyone's ears like the sharpest icicles, all of Kuraigana Island fell into a deathly silence.
The members of the Beasts Pirates gaped, the fervor on their faces instantly freezing into blank stupor, as though someone had struck the backs of their heads with a sledgehammer.
Aboard the Queen Mama Chanter, the candy cane in Perospero's hand dropped onto the deck with a crack and shattered. The color visibly drained from his face, leaving it as white as paper.
Below, the enormous Azure Dragon-Kaido of the Beasts-abruptly narrowed his dragon eyes, larger than lanterns, into dangerously fine pinpoints!
Humiliation!
Unprecedented humiliation!
His prized "Bolo Breath," powerful enough to incinerate everything, had been dismissed as scratching an itch?!
"Wororororo."
A low laugh, suppressing boundless fury, slowly emerged from deep within Kaido's throat.
"Good. Very good, you little Marine brat!"
"You're the first person who's ever dared talk to me like that!"
BOOM!!!
The instant those words fell, terrifying Conqueror's Haki, more than ten times as violent as before, erupted from Kaido's body like an awakening ancient Demon God!
Across his enormous dragon body, azure scales stood on end, gleaming with a cold, metallic luster! Streaks of pitch-black lightning coiled around his horns and claws, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction!
"Now that the warm-up's over..."
Kaido rapidly wheeled through the air, his enormous dragon body instantly transforming into human form in a manner that completely defied the laws of physics!
He still had horns on his head and a burly physique like a Demon God, but the pressure emanating from him now was even more terrifying than in his dragon form!
An utterly savage grin spread across his face, which brimmed with brutality and madness!
