Marine Admiral Meeting / Lord, You Don't Care Again?

"Kaido!"

At the same time, Jin's expression changed not far away.

"You still have time to worry about other people?"

Lycaon, the Bedrock Werewolf, seized the opportunity and punched Jhin hard in the face, shattering his black helmet.

Don't underestimate me, birdman!

Chapter 139 Marine Admiral' Meeting

Jhin was punched and sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before crashing through several houses and being buried under the rubble.

Lycaon strode heavily toward the other man, shouting:

"Stop pretending, I know your defense is pretty good. Get up and keep going."

A figure suddenly sprang out of the ruins, flapping its wings and soaring high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Jin had no will to fight. His helmet was shattered, revealing his true appearance: a face with gray-black skin.

He completely ignored Lycaon's provocation and immediately flew towards Kaido.

"Hey, why are you running!"

Lycaon immediately gave chase. With the fused Big Stone, he gained extraordinary defensive power, but his speed was reduced, making it impossible for him to catch up with the flying Jhin.

Black smoke billowed as Kaido lay sprawled on the street, his body engulfed in inextinguishable black flames.

At the same time, a knife was stuck in his chest, with the blade penetrating at least ten centimeters deep.

"Kaido!"

King flew to Kaido's side and immediately tried to pull out Shusui.

Shusui noticed his presence and left first, disappearing in the blink of an eye as a streak of light.

Kaido suddenly opened his eyes, touched his chest, and his lips curled slightly:

"Ouch, that thing...!"

The knife couldn't have attacked on its own; it was clearly being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, and without a doubt, that person was someone who had been inside the general's mansion earlier.

Kaido, the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air, was actually injured!

"Kaido, the fire on your body..."

Black flames burned all over his body, causing a faint burning pain. Kaido snorted coldly, and his Conqueror's Haki instantly suppressed the flames.

However, once he suppresses his Haki, the flames return, Kaido's annoyance.

Where did they go?

Kaido's rage had reached its breaking point; he used his Observation Haki to scan the entire city, searching for the presence of Dimon and Samael.

However, they found nothing; the two seemed to have vanished into thin air.

He turned his head and saw a stone-skinned werewolf walking towards him.

Lycaon paused, glancing at the furious Kaido and the solemn King, and raised his hand in greeting, smiling:

"Hey, isn't this Kaido the Four Emperors? Are you injured? Does it hurt?"

"Kaido, this guy is Lycaon of the Seven Deadly Sins, his..."

Before King could finish speaking, Kaido had already charged forward.

"Ragnarok!"

Kaido leaped high into the air and slammed his club down on Lycaon's head.

Boom!!

Black and red Inazuma, like drawn threads, stretched across the sky.

"... its defensive capabilities are extremely impressive."

As soon as Jin finished speaking, Lycaon was slammed into the ground by Kaido's staff.

A huge crater, as if created by a meteorite impact, has appeared on what was once a bustling street.

Flower Capital, outskirts, on the official road.

Dimon took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the bloodstains off Shusui Dao.

"Sorry, that guy's defense is amazing; I only brought back this much blood."

"It's already quite an achievement that you were able to break through his defenses."

Dimon offered a compliment, sheathed the Shusui sword, and then carefully put away the blood-stained silk handkerchief.

This amount of blood is certainly not enough to make Kaido's Longevity Wine, but capturing Kaido and extracting his blood is still quite difficult right now, unless a righteous gang up on him summons Sigma as well.

Unfortunately, Kaido isn't alone; he has a bunch of subordinates, so a group fight would be pointless.

Samael, with his hands behind his head, followed gracefully behind, saying:

"Captain, how did I do? Hehehe... That guy must be having a real headache right now. My black flames will follow him to the ends of the earth!"

"Why don't you just name this move Amaterasu?"

Dimon quipped that this move looked underhanded and would at most cause Kaido a little trouble.

"Amaterasu, a nice name," Samael's eyes lit up, then suddenly remembering something, he turned back and scolded:

"Hey woman, can you hurry up? Are you making us wait for you?"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Kozuki Hiyori quickened her pace helplessly, looking at Samael, who resembled a will-o'-the-wisp, with lingering fear.

Is this person even human?

"This will-o'-the-wisp is incredibly powerful; it can actually fight Kaido on equal terms... No wonder these people are so fearless, "Kozuki Hiyori thought to herself.

"Um, did you forget about one of your companions?"

"It's alright, he'll find his way home on his own."

Without turning his head, Dimon said, "Lycaon has nothing to worry about. No one can break through his defenses."

"Shall we go to Kuri now?" Kozuki Hiyori asked softly.

However, no one paid any attention to her.

Dimon heard Ain's report in his mind.

[Owner.]

"The Yamata no Orochi has been found?"

[Still searching, there's a problem on the main side.]

"Marine Headquarters?"

[The Three Admirals have all returned to headquarters and are holding Admiral meeting. I think you, Master, would be interested.]

Upon hearing this, Dimon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The Three Admirals were all going to have a meeting. What they were going to do at the meeting was obvious even to someone with a brain.

"Present the image."

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

The highest conference room.

The large round table was laden with exquisite fruits, but none of the three people present showed any interest in tasting them.

Kizaru sat with his legs crossed, quietly trimming his nails with nail clippers.

Aokiji, wearing an eye mask, leaned back on the bench, tilted his head back, and lazily closed his eyes for a nap.

Only Akainu sat upright, clearly displeased with the nonchalant attitude of his two colleagues.

"They're in such a hurry to call us back, but where are we?"

Bang!

Akainu slammed his fist on the table.

"Ha~ Are you in a hurry, Sakazuki?" Aokiji lifted a corner of his eyepatch, yawning, and said, "What's there to complain about in being able to sleep leisurely at headquarters? It's much easier than facing the Four Emperors in the New World."

"If you ask me, you'd be better off not coming back at all, really..."

Kizaru slowly spoke, gazing at his meticulously manicured nails, "You'll regret this later."

At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Chief of Staff Tsuru entered the conference room together.

"Sorry, something came up and I was held up. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Sengoku casually apologized and went straight to sit in the main seat.

Vice Admiral Tsuru held three intelligence documents in his hand and distributed them to the three Admiral.

Anyway, you guys finish reading it first.

Akainu immediately opened the document, quickly scanning its contents. The more he read, the more surprised he became, and the more serious his expression grew.

Aokiji propped himself up, marveling at the contents of the intelligence report:

"This is really a tricky situation... Maybe we should just ignore them?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Kuzan!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed and rubbed his forehead. "If we could ignore it before, we can't now. We just received orders from above to find a way to capture the Seven Deadly Sins as soon as possible..."

He paused for a moment before changing his words: "We need to capture at least one member!"

Kizaru was the one among the three who knew the Seven Deadly Sins the most; he merely glanced at the intelligence file.

"How can one catch a ship that can fly for a long time? I'd love to know too."

As a man who has directly spoken with the Lord, Kizaru would rather stay away from missions that seem troublesome at first glance, but unfortunately, as Admiral, he has no choice in the matter.

At this moment, Sengoku spoke calmly and unhurriedly:

"There are ways. Their goal has always been to collect Devil Fruit, so starting from that..."

"Should we use fruit as bait?"

A voice that seemed to appear out of nowhere interrupted the meeting.

Everyone present turned pale.

Sengoku shouted sternly, "Who?"

"Who? Interesting question, haven't you been discussing this all along?"

The voice was playful, with a hint of teasing:

"Ah, yes, you can call me... Lord!"

Chapter 140 The Master, doesn't he care again?

The Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins!?

The expressions of those present changed drastically.

Only Kizaru remained calm. That voice... he'd heard it before in Dressrosa; it was indeed the mysterious "Master" with whom he'd spoken.

"Hidden here?"

Akainu snorted coldly, stood up, and threw a punch at the corner of the conference room ceiling.

His right arm transformed into magma, suddenly extending and piercing through the roof.
