The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

A cry of pain forced him to loosen his grip on Kaido.

Kaido, who had regained his freedom, could have easily avoided Luffy's giant fist that came down from the sky, thanks to his agile body, and made his move miss.

But~~~

This time, Kaido clearly has no intention of avoiding it.

"Let go, I won't run away!!"

His gaze was fixed on Luffy's massive, towering right fist.

"But it seems you won't be able to put your right hand down, because..."

Kaido's eyes instantly became dangerous and profound, and his body radiated an extremely high temperature, burning everything it touched to ashes.

"I'll melt it right away!!"

Even a slight sweep of the dragon's tail over a corner of the skull melted and collapsed instantly.

Luffy's relentless attacks and indomitable will finally awakened Kaido's final madness!

"I won't let that happen!!"

For the first time, the smile vanished from Luffy's face, replaced by unwavering determination:

"Rubber, rubber..."

Kaido roared to the sky, "Rising Dragon..."

A colossal dragon engulfed in flames and a sun god capable of wielding lightning engaged in a final standoff in the sky!

"Ape God Spear!!"

"Flame Gossip!!"

The sky seemed to freeze and pause for a moment.

Then~

Boom~! ! !

The deafening explosion completely unleashed the full power of both sides' attacks!

Without any physical contact, the Conqueror's Haki-infused energy struck from a distance, still exploding its power in the very gap between the two!

The boundless karmic fire that could burn everything, the raging red lotus, and the enormous divine spear that could support the heavens and the seas and wipe out all evil in the world, collided heavily!

This move staked out the ambitions of both the old and new eras, representing the final, furious roar of the king of the sea.

On one side, there are joyful smiles as people sing songs of liberation in the new era, their faces radiant with the rhythm of freedom.

Two opposing forces, each representing a completely different meaning but containing immense power, collided violently in mid-air!

Flames exploded, fire burst forth, and boundless heat enveloped the sky.

The endless bursts of flame, like a blazing sun, illuminated the entire night sky.

Standing right in the center, Luffy withstood the intense heat and fiercely clashed with Kaido, refusing to back down!

"Let's put an end to all of this right here!!"

Their roars echoed across the sky, reaching every corner of the entire Oni Island!

The awe-inspiring force of the sky bursting open on Ghost Island is also the final echo of this new and old era.

The Ape God Spear directly confronts the Flame Eight Trigrams.

Both sides' most powerful attacks were infused with a determination that it was either you or me to die.

"It's not enough..."

Luffy's brow furrowed, and for the first time, he let out a furrowed shout, "This power is not enough!!"

At his shout, boundless thunder surged, instantly engulfing his entire body.

"Bomb them all down!!"

668 Kaido's roar and memories!! Drag them off their chairs of power!!

Thunder, the true divine punishment, was completely combined by Luffy and directed at that giant fist on his right arm.

"Suppress it!!!"

Abandoning the conqueror's haunting attacks that could be exchanged from a distance, this thunderous strike pushed both sides to their limits.

The powerful giant fist broke through the gap in the middle and fell straight down towards the fiery abyssal maw!

However, the emperor, who stood at the pinnacle of the sea, was absolutely unwilling to retreat even a step.

The fiery dragon opened its massive jaws and bit down hard on the drooping fist.

The scorching flames are relentlessly consuming his opponent!

"You did a great job!!"

Kaido's tone, unusually, carried a hint of approval:

"You've done a great job fighting your way this far!!"

"But you can't change the world!!!"

The tenacious fighting spirit emanating from this straw hat also awakens Kaido's distant memories.

In a daze, he seemed to see his younger self in Luffy.

Within the ravaged kingdom of vodka, he had already joined the ranks of the eight precepts.

"They wiped out 'June 13'!! Just that ten-year-old Kaido?! He's practically our strongest warrior!!!"

Amidst the cheers of the many kingdom soldiers, Kaido emerged from the thick smoke, his youthful figure standing out.

This seems like a born warrior, becoming the hope of this vodka kingdom!

The war lasted for three whole years, and the fierce fighting forged Kaido into an even more powerful force.

"It's still not enough..."

Forty-six years ago, at the age of thirteen, Kaido had already become the strongest person recognized throughout the country, and his name was known throughout the entire nation.

This is a land where war cannot be stopped, and the devastated nation is unable to pay the exorbitant "heavenly gold."

Only by constantly defeating invading enemies and robbing them of their money can one possibly obtain a sliver of the grace of "human rights" in this world controlled by the Celestial Dragons.

To survive, one must plunder; this is the country where Kaido was born and raised, the Vodka Kingdom.

Why must everyone obey the rule of the Celestial Dragons?

At that time, Kaido was unable to understand the "rules of the game" of this world. Naive as he was, he was even betrayed by his own country.

What are you doing?!

Kaido, bound in shackles, struggled desperately.

Beside him, a group of sailors bound him tightly with iron chains.

The Vodka Kingdom, in alliance with the Navy, tied up Kaido.

This highly promising soldier was spotted by the navy, which was expanding its combat capabilities and recruiting soldiers worldwide.

They intend to mold him into one of the countless cornerstones of maintaining world order.

"Our country can no longer handle you..."

That's what the king said, but Kaido learned the truth from the navy—

By handing over Kaido, the Vodka Kingdom can secure a seat at the next World Government Summit, which means becoming a member of the World Government.

This identity is incredibly important to the Vodka Kingdom and its king, so the choice between Kaido and him is obvious.

The enraged Kaido immediately realized that the title of "strongest" brought him not honor, but the death of a more valuable tool for rule.

You can trade them freely, or discard them.

Even though he had fought valiantly for this vodka kingdom, for the king, and for his people, risking his life to repel invading enemies, he was still betrayed at will.

Kaido is utterly disillusioned with the world and decides to restart his adventure.

He sabotaged the prison ship, escaped capture, and his bounty quickly rose to 70 million Berries.

He was only thirteen years old at that time.

During the repeated captures and escapes, the navy gradually realized that something was wrong.

It seems that Kaido deliberately gets captured whenever he's hungry, then eats a hearty meal before easily breaking out of the prison ship.

This prompted the navy to shout angrily, "This prison ship isn't your personal cafeteria!!"

After wandering around in this state for two years, fifteen-year-old Kaido arrived at the infamous pirate island, Beehive.

It is also known as the paradise of pirates, Hatchinos.

At the age of fifteen, he once again made a name for himself among countless vicious criminals thanks to his formidable strength.

"Hey, brat, are you planning to become a pirate?!"

A white-bearded man with flowing blond hair appeared before him, making Kaido realize for the first time what true oppression was.

"Lox says he wants to see you, what do you think?"

This guy with the peculiar white beard possessed an indescribable power.

Kaido accepted Rocks' invitation and became a member of this unprecedentedly massive pirate crew.

This move even drew gasps of surprise from many influential forces at sea:

"Another monster that powerful has joined the Rocks Pirates?!"

Just as this matter was causing a great uproar on the high seas~

The elegant Charlotte Linlin suddenly found Kaido, shouting, "Something big has happened! Gather immediately!!"

"We're going to do a big deal—we're going to the Valley of the Gods!!"

What followed was the earth-shattering battle that had been erased, which erupted in the Valley of the Gods.

The collapse of the Rocks Pirates shocked the entire world.

The pirates left behind on Hatchinos were shocked that such a formidable team, which had gathered such strong forces, could still be defeated.

However, it wasn't too unexpected.

Because everyone knows that it's mostly the villains on the ship who have had another internal conflict, after all, their teamwork ability is universally acknowledged to be zero.

After the Battle of God Valley, Rocks and his crew scattered, each raising their own banners and roaming the seas of this equally fragmented New World...

Kaido was no exception; he raised his Beasts banner, and his fame began to resound throughout the seas.

Ten years later, a familiar face suddenly appeared before him.

That was Kurozumi Higurashi, a former member of the Rocks Pirates and a current remnant of their crew, a user of the Imitation Fruit.

"That incident happened ten years ago. You are now the representative of force, Kaido!!"

This witch, just as she had deceived Momonosuke, was also deceiving Kaido, who had already conquered many seas with Jin.

"Force has always been a way for humankind to solve various problems throughout history!"

"But that's only natural, after all, humans are animals too!!"

"The law of nature is that the strong prey on the weak."

Although this old hag had no good intentions, Kaido actually agreed with her words.

"What you said is absolutely right!!"

As it turned out, the remnants of the Rocks Party gradually gained strength, and their power was once again demonstrated to the world.

"This is a world that only values ​​force..."

Kurozumi Mugen smiled sinisterly, "I have a good suggestion!!"

The Kurozumi clan is a prime example; driven by their own ambitions, they ultimately brought disaster upon Wano Country.

Kaido and Orochi then joined forces to seize the country.

A new base was established on this island of demons.

"Let the flames of war burn against those self-proclaimed nobles and those in power!!"
