Kaido, We Will Be The Same Size From Now On

"...!!!"

The moment Queen died, King outside the night domain immediately sensed his companion's aura change from strong to weak, from big to small, and finally disappear completely.

When a person's breath disappears, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the person is no longer in the real world.

The second is that the person is dead.

The black ball formed by the black mist below was obviously not a different space.

After all, King could still sense Queen's breath just a moment ago.

Now, Queen's aura didn't vanish into thin air but gradually faded from strong to weak, indicating a process of death due to severe injuries.

The night domain had just appeared, and Queen, who was shrouded in it, was almost instantly killed by the enemy.

This speed, along with the mysterious power of the newcomer, made King shift from his human-beast form to his full body without hesitation, then flew away from the sea area at an extremely fast speed.

The death of his companion didn't make the King rage and seek revenge for the Queen.

On the contrary, King chose to flee without looking back.

Because this was the most sensible course of action.

He didn't know that his big brother Kaido had actually turned into a dragon and was secretly following them at an altitude of 10,000 meters after they set off.

Queen's instant death allowed King to see the hidden combat power of the "Cross Guild," and he suffered from insufficient information.

The mysterious combatant below had the ability to kill almost as fast as his own.

This implied the enemy's power could definitely harm him.

King, who was unable to defeat Hancock and could only defend passively, would have a very low chance of escaping if the enemy joined forces with Hancock after eliminating Queen.

Therefore, the grievance of nearly losing his entire team and the anger of his companion being killed were all suppressed by the extremely rational King, and he chose to escape the battlefield.

Seeing King fleeing quickly, Hancock does not chase him or teleport to block his path, waiting for Sonia to join her to see if they can kill another top officer.

There was no need to fight; Hancock knew the outcome.

The strength of that black pterosaur was not comparable to that fat man.

Even without using the strongest techniques she had developed over the past three years, she could only break the defence of the opponent's Zoan Ancient Species Devil Fruit and Armament Haki with a 300 million volt lightning strike and advanced Armament Haki.

Sonia was able to instantly kill Queen because he underestimated her due to a lack of information and believed that being invisible would make him undetectable.

As everyone knows, Sonia's ultrasonic waves can counteract invisibility.

When King learns that Sonia has very deadly means, he will be extremely vigilant, not giving her a chance to break through his Haki defence.

Therefore, even if they teamed up to hunt and kill King, it would take a long time, maybe several days, to exhaust each other's energy.

But the pursuit over these days would definitely make Hancock and the others stay away from the large sailing ship, leaving Viola and the other girls in this sea area, regardless of their fate.

Alternatively, the leader of the opposing faction, Kaido, one of the "Three Calamities" of the "Beast Pirates," might discover Queen's death through the life card.

Then, he could immediately come to support based on King's life card. If they meet and join forces with King halfway, Hancock is confident that even if she faces the overlord of the sea, she can escape easily, but her sister would find it difficult to leave.

Hancock, who is one-on-one with the enemy's boss at an altitude of 10,000 meters, might appear irritable and arrogant, but she is actually extremely rational.

She is a very qualified queen.

So, Hancock and Sonia, who had lifted the night domain, returned in the direction of the large sailing ship.

At the same time, Kahn, who was fighting and being beaten, suddenly showed a ferocious smile on his dragon face.

Kahn, who has Observation Haki and can even see meteorites in outer space and pull them down with telekinetic power, had been paying attention to the battlefield below.

And the results of the battle below were naturally seen from his perspective.

After seeing Queen being ruthlessly killed in seconds, Kahn looked at the fire dragon, who didn't know how many times it had been hit, and finally spoke to Kaido: "Kaido, from now on, we are the same size."

"Come over anytime. Amazon Lily Kingdom Revenge—嗖!"

As the last sentence fell, the blue sky dragon shone with blue light all over, and then the huge body with a length of 150 meters disappeared out of thin air as if using Soru.

In reality, the dragon did not use Soru in the air.

It was just using telekinetic power to eliminate the air barrier, flapping its wings to cooperate with the telekinetic power to float, and flying away at an extremely fast speed.

Even so, the exaggerated speed was not something the bulky Kaido could catch up with.

So he wrapped his dragon strike around Conqueror's Haki, which also managed to miss.

Kaido, who failed to attack, did not pursue Kahn but floated in the air and released the fire dragon form.

"That kid, what did he mean by what he just said?"

Kaido, who had recovered his blue dragon form, had an ominous premonition in his heart and immediately rushed down.

When he couldn't find the King and Queen below and saw that one of his left and right hands had been cut off, Kaido would undoubtedly cry bitterly.

This crying is literal.

The "Beast Pirates" quickly became one of the three top pirate crews because Kaido had the strength of a sea overlord. Besides him, there are two top officers and a huge force.

This so-called huge force is actually the most important thing.

The most important are Kaido's two major officers.

The strength of King and Queen allows the "Beast Pirates" to fight against pirates of the same level without Kaido single-handedly challenging the opposing captains and officers or even the entire pirate crew.

Without King and Queen, the "Beast Pirates" cannot fight against pirates of the same level. Otherwise, the opponent's captain will fight Kaido one-on-one, and the remaining top officer will face the enemy's deputy and the joint efforts of other top officers.

In this way, the "Beast Pirates" will undoubtedly lose.

In the right and left hands of the "Beast Pirates," King is the deputy on the bright side and the number one signboard of the "Beast Pirates."

However, the person who has the greatest influence on the "Beast Pirates" is not the king but the queen.

Queen's knowledge and inventions are the key to the "Beast Pirates" quickly becoming one of the three top pirate crews through the resources taken from Wano in just a few years.

Without Queen and without the help of Doflamingo and Caesar Clown, the future "Beast Pirates" will lack a lot of familiar faces from the original.

For example, in the future, there will be fewer enhanced soldiers and modified humans.

Therefore, the size of the current "Beast Pirates" is already at the same level as the "Cross Guild."

In the next decade or so, the "Beast Pirates," having lost one of Queen's biggest helpers, will surely be surpassed by the "Cross Guild" and "Red-Haired Pirates."

More fearsome but also more pitiable.
