The oppressive atmosphere gripped people's hearts like an invisible hand.
The vast sea instantly created a strange sense of oppression, making it difficult to even breathe.
Just moments before, their biggest concern was whether the two Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks and Kaido of the Beasts, would clash.
That is, until the appearance of the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu.
What they most wanted to see was how War Demon Bai Yu would deal with Kaido of the Beasts after yesterday's great battle.
I never expected that the first two acts of drama wouldn't even begin.
As one of the Shichibukai, Dracule Mihawk went to war with Kaido of the Beasts.
Faced with these words filled with chilling murderous intent, they were eager to know what Dracule Mihawk would do.
" Kaido, this is my battle against him. You can seek revenge anytime later, but not today."
Dracule Mihawk looked up indifferently and said.
"If you insist on going your own way, then don't blame me for killing you first, and then I'll deal with that guy."
The soft words were followed by gasps of surprise from the audience.
They considered that Dracule Mihawk, as Shichibukai and the World's Greatest Swordsman, would never succumb to the ferocity of Kaido of the Beasts.
However, to their utter surprise, Dracule Mihawk would utter such harsh words.
Kaido of the Beasts was perched in the void, suddenly turned extremely gloomy, clearly losing face, the Roar angrily.
"Very well, so Shichibukai. Today I'll see how you protect that brat."
"You wanted to have a sword fight? Then I'll kill that brat right in front of you!"
"Jin, stop him!"
The Roar rang out one after another.
In the sky, blazing Kakkō shone within the leaden clouds.
A massive figure, bathed in flames, broke through the clouds first and landed beside Kaido of the Beasts.
With a pair of black wings spread out, it cast a huge shadow, enveloping the Red Force below.
The sudden appearance of King, the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates and known as the King the Conflagration of the All-Stars, caused an uproar in the sea.
They also speculated that, given Kaido of the Beasts's repeated defeats, he probably wouldn't appear alone.
Completely unexpectedly, in order to deal with the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu.
Kaido of the Beasts even brought King the Conflagration.
If Kaido of the Beasts represents the pinnacle of power in that era, then...
Now, with the emergence of another vice-royal, the limits of the peak have been pushed even higher.
Dracule Mihawk alone would probably find it difficult to fight against the two of them.
If King the Conflagration manages to stop Dracule Mihawk, then perhaps Kaido of the Beasts will simply have to watch helplessly as he deals with War Demon Bai Yu?
" Kaido, you've gone too far. Do you really think our Red Hair Pirates don't exist?"
Red-Haired Shanks suddenly stepped forward from the crowd, his right hand already resting on the sword at his waist.
"This time, I've come at the invitation of an old friend, precisely to ensure the duel can proceed without any interference."
"You can seek revenge if you want, but you absolutely cannot lay a hand on that brat today."
"Unless you step over our pirate flag, don't blame the Red Hair Pirates for being unreasonable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Benn Beckman, who had been silently tossing a cigar, stood behind Red-Haired Shanks first.
The remaining members of the group also set off, entering a state of combat readiness.
The already chaotic scene erupted into chaos upon seeing Red-Haired Shanks suddenly appear.
Even Big News Morgans, who was holding the Den Den Mushi, was trembling slightly, his face flushed as he repeatedly exclaimed, "Big News Morgans!"
A battle between two of the Four Emperors.
But it signifies a clash with the old era.
It is also a clash between two major forces.
That significance far surpasses that of a duel.
However, those present were even more eager to know how the Red Hair Pirates in the face of their superior numbers.
Will Kaido of the Beasts and King, both top-tier fighters, continue their head-on confrontation?
Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Kaido of the Beasts's expression turned extremely gloomy; if his gaze could kill.
Kaido of the Beasts could kill Red-Haired Shanks tens of thousands of times over.
After a tremendous amount of effort, we finally managed to corner this wretched brat here.
Tell him to stop now.
That's absolutely impossible!
"What a Red-Haired brat! Do you really think that a mere junior can compare to us?"
Kaido of the Beasts roared, his expression the Roar.
"We only let you sit in the so-called Four Emperors position because we were too lazy to bother with you."
"Since you're going to ruin my plans today, don't blame me for destroying your lousy pirate crew."
"I'll see if you're really willing to fight me to the death for a mere navy brat!"
"Jhin, let Queen and the others out!"
King, who had been closely following Kaido, let out a long howl, and the flames wrapped around his body seemed to come alive, shooting straight into the sky.
The next moment, like fireworks, it exploded in full view of everyone.
It completely illuminated half of the sky.
On the distant sea, dozens of pirate ships appeared one by one without warning.
Those flags fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound, were clearly the flags representing the Beasts Pirates.
The appearance of dozens of ships, a dark mass, completely filled the sea as far as the eye could see.
The deck was packed with people, which only added to the strangely oppressive atmosphere.
Looking around, there must be at least five or six thousand people gathered in this area of the sea, perhaps even tens of thousands?
Although most of the pirates here are Kaido of the Beasts, attracted by his status as one of the Four Emperors.
It feels a bit like someone just filling a position without contributing anything.
However, it is remarkable that a pirate group could assemble such a lineup.
This is enough to show just how much ruthlessness Kaido of the Beasts mustered up this time in order to kill the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu.
It's fair to say that friction has indeed occurred between the Four Emperors over the years.
However, this is the first time such a large group has mobilized.
Once a real fight breaks out...
That would probably be almost the same as waging a full-scale war, wouldn't it?
Faced with such a lineup, even Red-Haired Shanks would probably have to think twice.
In most people's eyes, Red-Haired Shanks only has one ship and dozens or even hundreds of people.
Compared to the Beasts Pirates' all-out attack, their numbers were still far inferior.
"Haha, Red-Haired brat, did you see that? This is the true power of the Beasts Pirates, something a childish pirate like you can't compare to."
Kaido of the Beasts grinned menacingly, his gaze once again falling on Bai Yu, who was approaching Kales Island, only a few thousand meters away.
