Chapter 563

Momonosuke indeed had important information to share with everyone; the reason he had been in such pain just now was that he had heard Luffy's voice. Although he could not clearly make out what was said, one thing was certain: Luffy was still alive, and they had not lost yet.

Soon, Momonosuke, his voice choked with tears, relayed this news, and the sound spread across the entire battlefield.

Inuarashi looked up at the tower; Yamato was somewhat stunned; Raizo was initiating the first Ninja World War with Fukurokuju; Jinbe wore a gratified smile; and the rebel samurai cheered one after another...

Everyone believed Luffy would definitely return; morale was boosted in an instant, and a new battle was about to begin.

On the edge of Onigashima.

Koza, panting, looked at the sea below Onigashima; a few beads of sweat dripped from his forehead; it seemed they had nowhere left to flee.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

Kaido, holding his spiked club, slowly approached Momonosuke: "Brat, twenty years ago I left you a dog's life, yet you know nothing of gratitude! Never mind, I have always been magnanimous and too lazy to argue with you; you might as well die!"

Kaido raised his spiked club and swung it at Momonosuke's head.

Koza's gaze sharpened; he unleashed Earth Release: Rockfall Collapse. The rocks beneath them instantly exploded, and the two tumbled toward the sea.

Kaido's attack naturally missed. Kaido was stunned. "What's with all of you, so fond of jumping into the sea to commit suicide? If you have the guts, smash yourselves onto the land like I do!"

"Kaido!!!"

A mighty roar, full of vigor, caught Kaido's attention. Kaido turned and looked up; atop the ruined building stood his dear son, Yamato.

"Call me Father!"

Yamato took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "I have come to sever these chains!"

Father and daughter finally reached the moment of their rift.

In the sky, Karl was sleeping on the back of the raven; when the time came, the raven would naturally call him.

The raven looked at the two figures falling from above, its scarlet raven eyes flashing with a trace of horror; it immediately cried out, "Gah?"

There was no response; probably because Karl was sleeping too soundly.

"What? There's even a demon beast?" Koza's heart sank. With one arm holding Momonosuke, he pulled out a smoke bomb with the other and hurled it at the raven's head.

"Smoke Release Technique!"

Boom~

"Gah (〃＞皿＜)╬╬╬)!"

Struck for no reason and having inhaled two jin of smoke, Lord Raven was extremely displeased. After all, in the Country of Women, it was revered as a national guardian deity; besides Karl, who dared to mess with it?

The raven took a deep breath, opened Zhang Dazuiba wide, and gathered a dazzling golden light: Holy Light Breath!

Boom~

Seeing the golden flames sweeping across the sky, Koza's pupils instantly contracted. But in midair, there was nowhere to hide. Looking at Momonosuke in her hands, she immediately made a decision: even if she died, she would never let the son of the great lord Kozuki Oden, a fine young man, suffer even the slightest injury!

"Young master, please, endure!"

Koza shielded Momonosuke behind her, using her flesh and blood to block that fatal sacred flame for him.

Aaaaaah~

A scream pierced the clouds, and Karl suddenly opened his eyes.

"Have we arrived in Wano Country?"

Then, Karl saw the figure ahead, surrounded by sacred flames, still falling continuously downward.

"Raven... you?"

"Gah......"

After listening to the raven's explanation and seeing its innocent little eyes, Karl sighed helplessly: "Ah, Ah Ya, you were too impulsive. Tsk, let's go down and take a look!"

As for Momonosuke, under Koza's protection, he was indeed unharmed; most of the damage had been blocked by Koza. But with his small frame, even a bit of Holy Light was beyond what he could endure.

After Koza was burned into a pile of charcoal, Momonosuke, to save his life, involuntarily transformed into a small pink dragon and slowly landed on the coast of Wano Country.

"Ah Ren!!! Waaaaah~"

Seeing Koza reduced to an indescribable pile of black powder, Momonosuke immediately burst into tears. After all, he was just a child; besides crying, what else could he do?

"I am very sorry, are you not dead? It was all my pet... Kozuki Momonosuke?"

Looking at the small pink dragon before him, Karl's pupils contracted; dead memories began to ambush him.

Tsk~ This brat; I seem to have hated him originally...

"E-excuse me, who are you, my lord?"

Looking at Karl, who had suddenly arrived, Momonosuke's eyes were filled with confusion; he had absolutely no idea who this man was.

But he felt, in general, that the smile on his face was full of malice...
