Lizard King! Facing Kaido

Early the next morning, somewhere in the Flower Capital, a figure soared into the sky, heading directly towards Onigashima.

Chapter 51 The Lizard King! Facing Kaido

Onigashima is located in the southern part of Wano Country's mainland, standing quietly in the inland sea.

The design is quite unique, with a huge skull and a pair of enormous horns. At first glance, it looks like a super giant died here, and its skull turned into an island.

High in the sky, Naito streaked across the sky like an Inazuma, surveying the island from his vantage point as he drew near.

Besides the unique design, there was something else that Naito was quite concerned about.

A huge sword pierced through the skull.

If I remember correctly, there's an even bigger one in Elbaf.

Could it be that in ancient times, long ago, there existed such enormous warriors?

That's interesting.

As he sighed, Naito had already reached the edge of Onigashima. He decisively landed, plummeting towards the gate of Onigashima, or rather, the port of Onigashima, like a meteorite.

Onigashima doesn't have a gate in the conventional sense; there's only a waterway leading inside the skull.

From here, you can no longer fly directly.

We still need to keep this confidential.

Naito used Geppo to stomp through the air and charged straight in.

The interior of the skull is quite spacious, and a small town has now been built there.

The buildings of various kinds are lined up one after another, arranged in a complex and intricate way, and ordinary people may easily get lost here.

While observing his surroundings, Naito lightly landed on the port of Onigashima.

The Beasts Pirates, who were moving goods around him, stared at him in near bewilderment.

Who is this guy?

Naito looked around and said politely, "Is Kaido home? I have a business to discuss with him."

The pirates at the port looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then.

"Intruders!!"

"Report this to your superiors immediately!"

"Grab him right now!"

The pirates instantly became agitated.

Some people shouted at the top of their lungs, while others ran back as if trying to call for help.

But many more people had already pounced directly on Naito.

"Those local pirates are so rude."

Naito lifted his eyelids slightly.

An invisible wave of air instantly swept across the entire arena.

The swarming pirates rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground in despair.

However, it should be said that as expected of the Beasts Pirates, even though Naito's Conqueror's Haki was a weakened version at this time, its strength was still not low.

Even so, a few pirates remained standing and did not faint.

Of course, even if they hadn't fainted, they were already limp on the ground, only able to stare at Naito in horror.

Conqueror's Haki!

Who exactly is this guy?!

While some say that Conqueror's Haki users are as numerous as carp crossing a river in the New World, in reality, it's simply because almost all the world's powerful pirates have gathered in this sea area. The kingly aura, one in a million, is indeed quite prestigious.

"Which idiot dares to cause trouble here?"

Just then, a deep, resonant voice came from around the corner of the passage ahead.

"Oh?"

Naito raised an eyebrow slightly.

Master!

But judging from their aura, they are neither Jhin nor Queen.

Jack?

Wrong.

Jack is only nineteen years old this year, it's impossible for him to have this level of aura. He'll be more like that nine years from now.

"I finally get a chance to visit Brother Kaido, and you dare to come and cause trouble!"

A rather tall figure emerged from around the corner of the passage, his sharp eyes instantly locking onto Naito. "You're asking for it!"

The moment Naito saw who it was, he nodded knowingly. "I see."

Wearing a long black trench coat, revealing his muscular chest, and a hooded mask covering the upper half of his face, the mask extending down from both sides of his cheeks like two fangs, leaving only his mouth and nose exposed.

Wearing metal gloves on both hands, he held a half-handled sickle in his right hand, the end of which was connected by a chain to a large iron ball covered in spikes. The iron ball was being dragged, making a clanging sound.

"Hanafuda, the Lizard King, one of the Shichibukai."

Naito called out the name of the person who had come.

Although it was a coincidence, seeing this man on Onigashima wasn't too hard to understand.

This guy was impressed by Kaido in his early years and became Kaido's ally. Even after becoming Shichibukai, he maintained a close relationship with Kaido and entrusted his two children to Kaido's care.

"You bastard, who are you—"

Hanafuda sized up Naito, then said, "The Thunder Dragon, a heavy gunner with a bounty of 240 million? He actually possesses Conqueror's Haki?"

Thunder Dragon?

Who is it?

Do you study karate?

Naito was stunned for a moment.

Then it dawned on me that Hanafuda must be the name of this body.

That makes sense, after all, he's a pirate who escaped from Level 6 of Impel Down, so he's quite famous even worldwide.

"Wait, didn't you already follow that World guy?"

Hanafuda's eyes suddenly turned even more ferocious. "What are you doing here at Kaido's place now?"

Naito casually asked, "I'm here to visit Kaido. Is he home today?"

"You arrogant bastard! How dare you spout nonsense in front of me!"

The man known as the Lizard King roared, swung his scythe, and the chain rattled the iron ball as the spiked meteor hammer, imbued with Haki, hurtled towards Naito.

What the heck?

Didn't I already respond seriously?

What's wrong with this guy now?

Naito spun around, using his waist and legs to deliver a clean and crisp roundhouse kick.

When!

The hard iron ball was instantly shot back like a cannonball.

Hanafuda's pupils contracted slightly as he dodged the attack to the side, but the speeding iron ball taut the chains and pulled him back, causing his tall body to involuntarily take a step back.

Heavy Gunner Thunder Dragon?

It should be Carlos, the heavy gunner.

Naito was somewhat distracted.

"Rub!"

The scythe came hurtling through the air, but Naito simply grabbed the handle and yanked it hard.

Hanafuda burst through the air, his left hand, clenched into a fist with a metal glove, was completely black.

Naito clenched his fist as well, an invisible aura Coating.

Boom!

The next instant, their fists collided.

The Haki arc of electricity leaped and exploded, the resulting shockwave transforming into a whirlwind that even blew away the unconscious pirates nearby.

The thunderous explosion instantly alerted all the pirates on the island.

Deep within Onigashima, atop the towering main building, Kaido, who had been waiting for his underlings to come for drinks, stood on the terrace, holding his sake gourd, looking down at the battle in the distant port area.

"Who is that kid Hanafuda fighting?"

His most loyal lieutenant, King, stood beside him. After observing from a distance, the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates spoke with some surprise, "Mr. Kaido, it seems to be a pirate under World's command."

"Um?"

Kaido, then grinned, "Hehehehe! I thought he actually dared to come here by himself!"

"But is this guy really that strong?"

Jin was somewhat puzzled.

I didn't notice this guy at all when we were on Pirate Island last time.

While Hanafuda's strength is considered weak among the Shichibukai, and he's not currently using his abilities, there's no reason for him to get entangled with someone like that.

At the distant port, the two figures were locked in a fierce battle, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

"You've got some skills, buddy!"

After a fierce clash, Hanafuda stepped back, looking at Naito with a hint of approval in his eyes.

You've really disappointed me.

Naito smiled.

Without his abilities, Hanafuda is at best only at the level of the Tobi Roppo, right?

It's hard to say whether he can beat Salt Anthony.

It's about the same as the self that possesses this body.

"You can only be arrogant now!"

Hanafuda sneered.
