Under that enormous, flaming fist, Kaido's body was blasted out of the floating castle tower and landed in the air. Luffy's roar that he would become the Pirate King attracted the attention of everyone on the ground.
The fighters looked up and saw Kaido floating high in the sky, descending.
Zoro smiled as he sheathed his three swords, and behind him lay the fallen King.
Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep drag of smoke, and looked up with a smile.
Perospero, who was being held back by Marco, looked up at this moment, his eyes and mouth agape, revealing an expression of extreme disbelief.
"It really is..."
Marco looked up and saw a figure falling from the hole in the castle tower as Kaido fell. The person had limbs outstretched and a bright smile on their face, their voice echoing around them:
"Kaido, I've defeated him!!!"
These words caused everyone in the battle to stop moving and look up at the terrifying body that was gradually descending from the sky.
The Wano Country samurai who were fighting the Beasts Pirates exchanged glances, raised their weapons, and roared loudly. Their morale was clearly boosted, and their confidence was growing stronger.
The pirates, on the other hand, all showed fear, either dropping their weapons or turning and running away with them.
Kaido has been defeated!
That Yonko, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, was actually defeated!
Even he has been defeated, so what is the point of our resistance? We might as well run away and save our lives.
In a world where individual martial prowess is so displayed that it almost manifests as divine power, once the leader is defeated, the remaining people, even if they don't put up a last-ditch effort, can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat.
Bang!!
At that moment, Kid and Law, who were fighting Charlotte Linlin, were thrown to the ground by her heavy blow. The two of them dragged on the ground for dozens of meters with their legs slightly crouched. Just then, they heard Luffy's voice, looked up, and saw Kaido falling down.
"We won!!" Kidd grinned maliciously. "One's taken care of now, and I'll take care of you, Big Mom!"
Charlotte Linlin was surrounded by white flames, her eyes were almost filled with white flames, and her body had grown much larger than before. She was holding Napoleon and preparing to strike when she heard Kidd's words and froze. The white flames in her eyes subsided.
"What?!"
She turned her head and looked over in astonishment. Sure enough, a familiar figure fell from the castle tower.
Kaido has really been defeated?!
The enormous body fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, lying on its back with its eyes rolled back and a huge fist mark on its face and body. It was already unconscious.
Luffy then landed heavily on the ground, and under everyone's gaze, he stood up, holding his straw hat, and grinned, showing off his bright white teeth.
We won!
They won!
Kaido has been defeated!
"oh!!!"
Whether they were samurai from Wano Country or civilians who hadn't left yet, they all cheered and rushed towards Luffy.
"Luffy!"
Zoro and Sanji ran out from nearby, approaching Luffy from the left and right with smiles on their faces.
"Luffy!"
Similarly, Chopper, who was left on the ground, also cheered and ran towards Luffy.
"Zoro! Sanji! Chopper!" Luffy grinned, "I won!"
"That's amazing!"
Sanji shouted, "You defeated Kaido, so of course I defeated Queen too!"
"Well done, Curly Eyebrows. You were saying you'd let me kill you if something went wrong, but looks like that won't be necessary." Zoro smirked.
"Tch, that was just a little accident, I got scammed, that's all. I'm still me," Sanji said.
He had fought Quinn before and accidentally injured a geisha. He always thought it was something he did subconsciously, but he didn't expect that Quinn had gone into hiding and launched a sneak attack, which caused him to misjudge. But now the misunderstanding has been cleared up and he is perfectly fine.
Zoro laughed and said, "After defeating Kaido, the next step is to become the Pirate King, Luffy!"
"Of course!" Luffy flashed a confident smile. "I will definitely become one!"
"Speaking of which... wasn't the castle tower above caused by Kaido's fiery cloud? Why didn't it fall down after he was defeated? Is Momonosuke maintaining it?" Sanji asked, puzzled.
"Ah...no, that's not it."
Luffy said, "The castle is flying because the incense burner is there."
"I know, I know, that incense burner!" Chopper bounced around, raising his hooves. "The incense burner went into the castle, and then the castle flew up."
incense burner?
Zoro and Sanji tilted their heads, looking somewhat puzzled.
Which one is the incense burner?
"Luffy!!"
A loud shout came from above. Through the hole that had been punched, Robin used her power to form a pair of giant hands and wings, pulling the Komainu down with her. Usopp, Brook, and Nami were sitting on top of the Komainu, and the voice came from Nami.
"Run! The Navy is here!!"
navy?
Zoro and Sanji were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and Sanji stroked his chin, saying, "Speaking of which, someone our captain calls an incense burner, and who's also a Marine..."
As he spoke, his eyes widened, "It's a golden lion!"
Whoosh!
As he spoke, a golden figure darted out of the hole, like a golden straight line, and landed swiftly in front of Luffy, stirring up a cloud of dust. A blur of motion emerged from the dust, and Luffy's head seemed to have been struck hard in that instant, letting out a cry as he flew away.
"Luffy!"
Zoro and Sanji cried out, one instantly drawing his sword and the other raising his foot, both shielding Luffy who had fallen to the ground, staring intently at the smoke.
This sudden scene also stopped the cheering crowd from moving.
A figure slowly emerged from the smoke. As the smoke dissipated and the white cloak fluttered, a familiar figure appeared before Zoro and Sanji.
The man had a head of choppy, center-parted hair, a cigar in his mouth, and exhaled a plume of smoke that looked like steam. At the same time, he retracted the foot that had just kicked Luffy away.
Upon seeing this person, Sanji broke out in a sweat. "Hey, this is a heavyweight, you moss-head..."
"I know!"
Zoro clenched his fist on the Wado Ichimonji, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
The man who easily wiped out their entire crew in Sabaody Archipelago and nearly killed Luffy with a single slash—Golden Lion!
Why is this guy here?
After exhaling his smoke, Kuro glanced at Kaido lying on the ground and shook his head. "You look terrible, Kaido. You actually lost."
Losing is one thing, but no one can stay at their peak forever, Kuro knows that. However, if he lost in ten or twenty years, he could simply say that new talents emerge in every generation. But losing now...
Kuro looked at Luffy, who was covering his face and sitting up halfway, and sighed.
This is a bit too much.
