Kaido's Fury Again! An Affiliated Nation in Peril

An uncontrollable, violent aura surged forth, and for a moment, the entire ship trembled.

The Den Den Mushi in Kaido's hand immediately went numb, and all the pirates on the ship, whether they were asleep or not, lost consciousness.

Soon, there was a knock on Kaido's door. Before Kaido respond, King pushed the door open and entered. "Mr. Kaido, what happened?"

"Yamato ran away."

Kaido's eyes were fierce.

Jin was completely stunned. "How is this possible! How did she unlock those handcuffs?"

"How would I know!"

Kaido roared, "Damn it! Why don't you just obey me obediently? When I catch that brat, I'll break both his legs!"

"Mr. Kaido, what do you mean?"

Jin hesitated for a moment, "Return to base?"

"I'm going back to Wano Country first."

Kaido said, "Continue onward, but don't rush into a direct confrontation with Ochoku."

Although he looked down on Ochoku, Kaido didn't believe that King and Queen Ochoku.

"Yes!"

Soon after, the enormous blue dragon soared into the sky and returned towards Wano Country.

Time slowly began to pass.

Two days later, in the New World, on Ore Island.

Ochoku stood on a bare hilltop and bent down to pick up a dark red stone.

With a gentle squeeze of the palm, the stone shattered, sending dark red fragments flying.

"This is high-quality iron ore."

Ochoku smirked, "Hmph, very good, now this island belongs to me!"

This island is the source of the conflict between the two sides.

The island, named Ore Island, was originally a barren wasteland, where only a few seabirds would occasionally stop.

But not long ago, a group of pirates discovered that there was actually a huge iron mine on the island.

The pirates originally intended to keep the news a secret and swallow the island whole, but they got drunk while drinking at the tavern, and the news leaked out.

As a result, Ochoku and Kaido's pirates swarmed in like hyenas.

"But Kaido?"

Ochoku turned around and exclaimed, "I'm already here! Where is he? He's not on Ore Island at all!"

Ochoku's deputy calmly said, "Based on the last sighting time, they should have already reached the nearby waters."

"I think Kaido is afraid."

"Scared?"

Ochoku paused slightly, then said, "Hahahaha! That bastard is scared too?"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. Since Kaido isn't showing himself, let's just drive all the scum from the Beasts Pirates out of this area!"

The Beasts Pirates are not limited to the forces stationed on Onigashima. In addition to Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates also have a vast territory overseas, so of course they have many other forces stationed abroad.

These are the people who clashed with Ochoku's pirates this time.

"Yes!"

The second-in-command nodded respectfully, "We will soon ensure that not a single sail of the Beasts Pirates remains in this sea!"

The Ochoku Pirates have begun their operation.

Shortly after, the pirate Guerrilla Unit, ship number six, Naito's side.

While continuing to practice his Armament Haki, which focused on Internal Destruction, by pressing his hand against the cratered iron ingot, Naito spoke to Den Den Mushi via Den Den Zephyr. "So, Ochoku has already shown up?"

"We're still too slow. We're still quite a distance from that sea area, while Ochoku has already landed on Ore Island,"

Zephyr's voice carried a hint of confusion, "However, Kaido hasn't shown up yet, so the battle hasn't started. But given his personality, he would never desert his post."

So, what's the next step?

Naito asked casually.

Kaido has already returned to Wano Country and launched a massive search operation.

"Get here as soon as possible, no matter what."

Zephyr said, "Kaido could appear at any moment. He's not a man who will tolerate this! He won't let Ochoku take over."

"We'll head to the waters near the Bauhinia Kingdom first. It's closer to Ore Island, and if Kaido appears, then a war is likely to break out nearby!"

"Learn."

To be fair, Professor Zephyr's concerns are entirely valid.

Kaido has absolutely no chance of finding Yamato, so who will he vent his anger on?

That's so hard to guess.

Chapter 72 Kaido's Wrath Renews! The Affiliated Nation in Peril

In the New World, in the waters near Ore Island, a pirate ship is fleeing frantically.

Not far behind this ship, a much larger ocean-going vessel was slowly pursuing it.

Damn it!

The fleeing pirates spat, glancing back with some panic. "Ochoku's main fleet has been mobilized to surround and kill us! What on earth is Kaido thinking?!"

Damn it, why has our Beasts Pirates become like this? Since when did we become so restrained?!

"Accelerate!!"

We definitely can't win in a fight.

The only option is to run.

The ship's captain shouted, "Dump all the excess weight! Push the ship to maximum speed!"

The pirates on deck hurriedly carried out the captain's orders, heading into the hold to prepare to throw less important supplies into the water.

But it was at this moment...

Whoosh!

A very slight impact sound.

Boom!

Then came a huge explosion.

The pirate captain paused for a moment, then looked up in horror.

In the center of the deck, the thick mast had been snapped in half and was now tilting to one side.

Boom!

That's the sound of the mast and sails crashing into the sea.

On the violently shaking deck, the pirate captain opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.

All he knew was that he was doomed.

"You really think you can run away?"

On the pursuing ship, a tall, thin man holding a longbow smiled cruelly. The longbow in his hand had a unique design, with sharp blades on both sides and the bowstring connected from the back of the blades.

He drew another arrow from the quiver at his back, which was full of arrows, and immediately drew his bow to its fullest extent.

"The captain said he was going to kick you all out, so now, let me kick you all into hell!"

Laugh!

The arrow, which suddenly turned pitch black, shot through the air at a speed so fast that even sound could not keep up.

Almost instantly, a huge hole exploded in the stern of the ship in front, extending all the way to the bow, piercing through the entire vessel!

"That guy—"

On the rickety ship ahead, the pirate captain, knowing escape was impossible, walked to the stern with a look of despair on his face. Although he couldn't see clearly who was shooting arrows on the distant ship, he still called out the man's name, "The Paris the Sharpshooter..."

Paris the Sharpshooter, one of Ochoku's top lieutenants, a monster with a bounty of 690 million Beli!

It is said that his arrows hit the mark every time, and if he wanted to, he could even shoot off the wings of a fly flying in the distance!

Even a monster like that has personally come out, Kaido, what are you waiting for?

Whoosh!

Another arrow came hurtling through the air, this time hitting the ammunition compartment directly.

Then.

Boom!

A brilliant firework bloomed on the sea.

Shortly after this chase, in Wano Country, on Onigashima.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Kaido, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, had a face ashen and gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Boss Kaido,"

With his face wrapped in thick bandages, making his voice somewhat distorted, Jack replied in a muffled voice, "The people left behind in Wano Country have all gone to search, and Orochi has also mobilized all his forces, but there are still no clues."

"Perhaps Yamato has already left Wano Country."

"..."

Kaido remained silent.

Aside from Yamato having already fled Wano Country, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Yamato, that brat, has always longed for adventure like Kozuki Oden. Given the chance to escape, it would be strange if she stayed in Wano Country.

In that case, how can we find him before he shows up on his own initiative?

"You ignorant brat!!"

Kaido crushed the bottle in his hand, shards and liquor splattering everywhere. "When I find him, I'll smash his legs inch by inch! Let's see if he can still run!"

Jack remained silent, not daring to utter a single word.

"How are things going with Jhin and the others?"

Kaido asked.
