Chapter 188

"What is that?"

……

Luo En grabbed King of Fire Jinn and flew above Onigashima, hovering high in the sky, standing on the air.

His free left hand drew the black blade Qiushui from the void, and casually swung it downward.

A pitch-black slash several thousand meters long cut through the air, cleaving down toward Onigashima below.

Several figures burst out from the palace on Onigashima, striking together and shattering that slash.

"Just one person? What nerve!"

Who's Who, one of the Tobiroppo, transformed into his saber-toothed tiger form and let out a fierce grin toward the sky.

He stomped his feet heavily and launched an attack on the audacious fellow in the sky.

The next second he was sent plummeting straight to the ground by a sword qi slash, smashing a deep crater into the earth.

The other members of the Tobiroppo all struck together.

"Get lost."

A flat voice drifted down from high above.

Those who had struck were again cut down from the sky by several immensely heavy pitch-black sword qi, crashing heavily into the deep crater.

"Where did this guy come from? Looking to die?!"

"Attack together! Knock that bastard down from the sky!"

Just as the Beasts Pirates were about to launch a group assault.

An utterly astonishing, soul-shaking wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from that figure in the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

The sky above Onigashima instantly turned blood-red, dense with blood-colored thunder.

That Conqueror's Haki blanketed the entire island in the blink of an eye, alarming everyone on Onigashima,

"!!"

Countless people awed by that Conqueror's Haki stared up at the sky in shock, and quite a few whose minds and wills were not firm enough instantly collapsed and fainted.

"What terrifying Conqueror's Haki!"

"Where did this guy come from?!"

"Not good—this guy doesn't seem like someone we can handle…"

The group that had just been thinking of a group assault immediately gave up the idea. Though they were quite strong, they were absolutely not enough to face a monster capable of unleashing Conqueror's Haki of this level.

Although there were no shortage of people in the New World who had awakened Conqueror's Haki, reaching this level was genuinely rare. In the eyes of the Beasts Pirates, where the strong were revered, having such strength made coming to challenge them nothing out of the ordinary.

What truly made them furious and horrified, however, was the next sentence from that flat voice.

"Kaido, get out here."

"Kaido, get out here."

Kaido, who had been drinking himself drunk inside the palace, heard these words, slowly opened his eyes, and staggered to his feet.

"Looks like a little brat who's very confident in his own strength has come. Conqueror's Haki like this—he's definitely a capable fellow."

"Jinn and Jack aren't here, and that guy Queen has gone off to slack off again, hasn't he…"

"Can't be helped…"

He picked up the kanabo beside him and staggered out of the palace.

Black Maria, one of the Tobiroppo, had just climbed out of the deep crater when she saw Kaido walking out of the palace. She hurriedly lowered her head: "Lord Kaido."

The other Tobiroppo members also looked at him, expressions varied, but deep within their eyes was a trace of genuine reverence.

Even though they had just taken a Great Swordsman's slash head-on, as Ancient Zoan users they were largely fine—defensive power and vitality were both astonishing. But from that strike just now and the Conqueror's Haki now pressing down from above, they understood one thing.

The enemy currently above their heads was not someone at their level who they could handle!

"Stand down."

Kaido walked past them, kanabo in hand.

The few of them stepped aside.

Kaido walked to the open ground ahead and looked up at the sky.

Luo En also drifted down from high above.

"So you're the one telling me to get…"

Before Kaido could finish, he saw the black-haired youth floating in the sky holding Jinn, the King of Fire, whose flesh was mangled and who hung limp like a dead dog. Kaido's still-slightly-drunken eyes suddenly narrowed, and every trace of drunkenness vanished.

"Jinn?"

The Tobiroppo also stared at the Jinn in Luo En's hand, their pupils contracting sharply, faces full of disbelief.

"That's… an All-Star?!"

The Beasts Pirates' crew members on Onigashima stared blankly at Luo En in the sky and the Jinn in his hand.

"An All-Star was actually defeated? How is that possible…"

"That's an All-Star! You've got to be kidding!"

"Wait, isn't that guy… the Traveler Luo En?! He actually came to Wano Country?!"

Someone recognized Luo En.

"What is he planning? Declaring war on our Beasts Pirates?"

"Just him alone? Heh, there's a limit to jokes."

They simply couldn't believe Luo En had come to declare war. Even though he had defeated their All-Star, hadn't he not dared to kill him, and instead brought him to Wano Country? This guy definitely didn't dare to really make a move—he was planning to use this as leverage to trade with the Beasts Pirates for some kind of benefit.

"Kaido, you should know why I've come this time."

Luo En's flat voice drifted down from high above.

Kaido, now mostly sober, stared at him with a dark expression.

He had already recognized Luo En, and naturally knew what Luo En was referring to.

To his deal with Doflamingo, and his order for King to attack the Empty Calamity Brigade.

He hadn't expected that King would actually fall into his hands...

Kaido stared coldly at Luo En, who stood high in the air: "Brat, what are you planning to do?"

"Not planning anything, just—"

Luo En gripped King's head and slowly lifted it up.

Under the disbelieving gazes of Kaido, the Flying Six, and the countless Beasts Pirates members on Onigashima.

The right hand gripping King's head suddenly tightened, crushing King's head outright!

Just like crushing a watermelon.

King's incredibly tenacious vitality vanished in an instant.

His headless corpse, under the stunned gazes of everyone on Onigashima below, plummeted downward—*thud*—cratering a huge pit in the ground.

The entire Onigashima fell utterly silent.

The black-haired youth in the sky shook the fresh blood from his hand, and his calm voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Kaido, I made a special trip to Wano just so you could watch your capable general die right in front of you. How about it? Quite a sight, isn't it?"

"Brat! You're asking for death!"

An incomparably terrifying aura and killing intent erupted from Kaido's body. The entire Onigashima trembled, gale-force winds swept out in all directions, the sky rapidly darkened, and countless dark clouds gathered and pressed downward.

"Since you're asking for death, then I'll oblige you."

Accompanying Kaido's icy voice, his body began to dragonize. Countless clouds and mist swirled around him, forming a massive cloud vortex on the ground, with lightning flashing within the vortex!

"ROAR!"

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking dragon's roar that the entire Wano could hear, a terrifying shockwave spread outward, and even the sea beyond Onigashima was whipped into towering waves.

A colossal azure dragon burst from the vortex, coiling in the sky above, its dragon eyes coldly fixed on the black-haired youth hovering ahead.

"Today... you die here."

"That's not for certain."

Luo En, eyes closed, smiled at him.

The next second.

The two men's Conqueror's Haki and killing intent erupted simultaneously, colliding with devastating force.

In an instant.

Heaven and earth shook!
