Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Why are the Four Emperors here?!"

"Is that gentleman alright?"

"But why did Kaido mention Shanks just now? Where is Shanks? Never mind, quickly record the footage and report to Headquarters immediately—no, directly to the Holy Land!"

One of the CP squad leaders remained relatively calm, but his pale face betrayed his inner fear.

To the World Government, the Four Emperors are nothing short of moving natural disasters.

Not to mention Kaido, who is known as the strongest creature!

However, under their watchful eyes, the enormous azure dragon vanished, as if it had been attacked, and crashed onto the small island.

The island collapsed from its center outwards the instant it was touched by the shadow, as if struck by a giant hammer. Countless cracks appeared at the edges, and a violent shockwave swept outwards, scattering the surrounding terrain.

The terrifying wind pressure and air blasts seemed poised to blow everything away.

Shamlock landed, staring intently ahead with a grave expression.

Shanks, you've really given me a tough job.

Shamrock stared ahead. "This is the end, Kaido."

"Hey, what gives you the right to stop me? With that face? Who do you think you are? I'm not going to give Shanks that kind of face."

A hand covered in scales emerged from the large hole created by the impact, followed by a man walking out of the smoke.

No, perhaps that can no longer be fully called human.

He was extremely tall and muscular, with muscles on his bare upper body that looked like cast iron. He wore a dark purple fur cloak, and his left arm was covered with lifelike dragon scale tattoos. A huge, terrifying X-shaped scar ran across his right abdomen.

With flowing black hair, two horns on his forehead, and long, dragon-like whiskers on his cheeks, he was even taller than Luffy in his Dark Lord form.

Kaido casually picked up the gourd with the character "天" (heaven) on it and took a gulp.

"Oh, that sword strike just now was quite good, it had a certain flair."

He slowly walked towards Shamkes, and the sky seemed even darker.

Boom!

A thunderclap revealed Kaido's gloomy face to Shamx.

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!

People say, "Kaido is the strongest in a one-on-one fight!"

He is a pirate who is known as the strongest creature among all living things on land, sea, and air.

A brilliant record.

An impressive resume.

As a pirate, he was defeated 7 times, captured 18 times when he challenged the Navy and the Four Emperors alone, and was tortured more than a thousand times and sentenced to death a total of 40 times.

Even if hanged, the chains will break; even if taken to the guillotine, the blade will shatter; even if stabbed by a spear, the spear will break.

He sank as many as nine massive prison ships, and no one has ever been able to kill him, not even himself!

He just fell from the sky, and he seems perfectly fine.

The bounty is 4.6111 billion!

Shamx pointed his sword directly at Kaido, saying, "Kaido, stay here quietly, or go back to your Onigashima."

Kaido grinned and laughed, "I can go wherever I want! I can fight whenever I want! Nobody can order me around!"

"Then we'll have to use force to make you stay!"

Shamrock had already anticipated this answer, but he was still slightly dissatisfied with Kaido's disobedience.

He swung his rapier.

Strange things happened.

The sword seemed to come alive, with a black substance like tar flowing from its dark silver blade. In the blink of an eye, a three-headed giant dog appeared in the direction of the sword energy.

Cerberus!

This Cerberus is clearly not the same as the cobbled-together, three-legged creature that Luffy saw on Thriller Bark.

They are covered in thick black fur, with bulging muscles, and are full of explosive power.

Each of the enormous dog heads wore a metal collar, and its gaping maws held tightly to a gleaming longsword!

The sword blade and fangs intertwined, exuding a ferocious aura that seemed to devour its prey.

"Oh? That's interesting."

Kaido saw something that resembled his own body.

Where the three giant dogs' limbs treaded into the air, dark red flames appeared.

That's one of the signature characteristics of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user who has awakened!

Did the sword eat a Devil Fruit?

This is quite a rare occurrence, and even rarer is that this sword actually managed to awaken.

"The sword itself is a Zoan-type Awakener, yet it can exist independently in this form? The World Government certainly has many interesting tricks up its sleeve."

Kaido laughed loudly, "I noticed it when I encountered King!"

He was smiling, but Kaido attacked without warning.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

boom!

The air vibrates simply by relying on physical strength and speed.

Cerberus's three dog heads swung simultaneously, their mouths wielding swords that unleashed three intertwined streaks of dark sword energy, fiercely meeting the sweeping iron rod.

At the same time, Shamrock's figure blurred, and he instantly appeared in front of Kaido.

"A sneak attack?"

Kaido gave a disgruntled snort.

A massive fist covered in deep purple dragon scales, crackling with black and red arcs of electricity, slammed into the tip of Shamrock's sword!

boom!

In an instant, Shamrock and Cerberus were both sent flying.

Is it really that strong?

Shamlock looked at his hand; the scratches had quickly disappeared.

He charged forward again.

The collision between the two caused a tremendous sound on the island, with the earth cracking and the mountains collapsing, like a volcanic eruption.

Faintly, one could hear Kaido's puzzled voice.

"Immortality? What's your connection with those guys from God Valley?"

The aftershocks of their battle completely destroyed the poor rocky island below.

The island gradually disintegrated under repeated impacts.

The thunderstorm intensified, with purple lightning flashing wildly and strong winds howling, as if it were the end of the world.

On a World Government ship not far away.

The group was terrified.

Through the thick rain and splashing waves, they could only see two blurry figures colliding in the air at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

"Monster!"

Some people were terrified.

"Monster!"

Hearing the shouts from the side, the leader couldn't help but roar, "I can see it!"

"No, no, boss, look over there!"

A World Government official pointed northeast of the sea where Kaido and Shamrock were engaged in fierce battle.

The distant horizon.

It looks like there's a huge black ship moving there.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the massive moving object appeared, with two enormous pillars connecting to the sky that stretched as far as the eye could see!

"What, what is that?!"

"Oh my god, a natural disaster has occurred!"

It was a creature.

A creature so enormous that it defies the limits of human imagination.

Zangetta, Zou!

This monster, resembling an elephant, is so enormous that anyone who sees it will lose the ability to think.

The leg that is just above the sea has a diameter of over a kilometer, and its height is immeasurable, extending all the way up to the clouds, as if supporting the sky.

Its back, above the clouds, carries a nation.

The Furry Principality is the homeland of the Furry Clan, a warrior-beast race.

The World Government's massive warships appeared as insignificant as ants before this behemoth.

Elephant God walked on like this for an unknown amount of time.

However, today, in the Furry Principality, the two rulers of the furry tribe—Duke Inuarashi, the King of the Day, and Nekomamushi, the King of the Night—simultaneously felt a strong sense of unease.

"Woof! Can you feel it? Cat viper!"

Duke Inuarashi, dressed in a gentleman's suit and wearing sunglasses, stood at the edge of the forest, gazing solemnly at the southwest sky.

Even from such a great distance, one could still faintly sense the terrifying clash of powerful forces and energy fluctuations emanating from there.

"Meow! Of course I felt it, Inuarashi!"
