Onigashima.
In the Main Building's great hall, all the officers of the Beasts Pirates had gathered.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, like the heavy air before a storm.
Yet Kaido's mood seemed unchanged as he drank leisurely from his sake gourd.
Just then, a soldier ran in.
He knelt before Kaido and reported, "Lord Kaido! Kurozumi Orochi has been killed!"
Everyone's pupils narrowed slightly at the news.
It was not out of sorrow or shock over Kurozumi Orochi's death.
They simply had not expected Lott to move so quickly. It seemed he would reach Onigashima before long.
"All right, understood. You can go." Kaido waved the soldier away and continued drinking.
"Hahaha, so you're coming, Lott?" Jack's face was filled with fury.
This time, he would sink Lott to the bottom of the sea and wash away the humiliation Lott's Crew had inflicted on him.
As time steadily passed.
The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly oppressive.
Yet the closer that moment came, the quieter it became.
Wano Country, one kilometer above the sea leading to Onigashima.
The Skybreaker sped forward.
"That's Onigashima, right? So cool! It looks like a demon." Luffy excitedly watched the black island ahead of the bow, with its pair of demonic horns.
"It really is cool," Franky agreed from beside him.
Robin and Boa Hancock both looked exasperated at their words.
They could not see anything cool about that island, only pitch-black strangeness and horror.
Sometimes, they truly could not understand men's tastes.
The Skybreaker was extremely fast, bringing them over Onigashima in no time.
Lott put away the Skybreaker and landed at Onigashima's entrance with everyone.
They were greeted by heavy guards and rows of cannons.
Seeing Lott's group appear at the gates, the guards shouted, "Lott's here! Open fire! Open fire!"
Boom!
