"You're the Lott Ace talked about, aren't you?"
Just as Lott withdrew and sat on the ground, a woman's voice came from beside him.
He turned to look and discovered that it was Kaido's daughter, Yamato!
He nodded. "That's me. What is it?"
Yamato immediately brightened. "It really is you! You're the bastard Master Ace talked about, right?"
Lott frowned slightly at that. "That little brat! I clearly haven't disciplined him enough!"
He had thought Luffy and Ace spoke respectfully of him in front of others, never expecting them to call him their "bastard Master" at every turn.
Still, that sort of behavior did fit Ace's personality.
Yamato gave Lott a long look, inwardly shocked.
Lott was like an endless abyss. No matter how she probed, she could not gauge his depths.
He really was worthy of being Ace's Master!
Lott turned to Yamato and asked, "What? Is there something on my face?"
Yamato shook her head. "I'm just curious why you're so strong when you look so young."
"Hahaha, that's a long story." Having said that, Lott turned to watch the two fighting on the battlefield.
Yamato froze for a moment, then likewise turned her gaze toward Luffy and Kaido.
"Fighting someone stronger than you is fun, isn't it?" Kaido asked as he watched Luffy.
Luffy's legs churned against the ground like wheels of wind and fire.
The ground, which had turned to rubber, was kicked into layers of folds like a blanket beneath Luffy's feet.
Kaido also took a stride, charging toward Luffy in an instant.
Luffy pushed off the ground one last time and charged toward Kaido as well.
At the same time, his right fist spun rapidly, leaving afterimages!
His fist slammed straight into Kaido's face!
Bang!
Streaks of red-and-black lightning immediately raged around them.
