Chapter 277 : Begin!!

[Under the guidance of Hyogoro, Luffy continued honing his abilities in the quarry!]

[In just a few days, he showed remarkable progress!]

[Although Hyogoro might not match Luffy in sheer strength, his mastery of Haki far surpasses that of the young pirate!]

[Despite his frail appearance, Hyogoro's true identity...]

[...is that of one of Wano's former top leaders!]

[This is precisely why, as a former high-ranking figure and now a prisoner under Kaido's control, Hyogoro remains a prime target for Queen!]

[Thus, under Hyogoro's meticulous guidance and unwavering support, Luffy steadily advances in mastering Armament Haki!]

[His prowess improves by leaps and bounds each passing day!]

[As Luffy forges ahead, many inmates in the quarry, harboring plans of resistance against Kaido's tyranny, also gather strength!]

[Slowly but surely, the day of rebellion draws nearer...]

As the live broadcast aired across the skies, spectators observed Luffy and his companions preparing for the showdown against Kaido.

Anxiety gnawed at their insides.

Having witnessed the plight of Wano Country through the broadcasts, they understood its isolation from the outside world, its closed-off nature, and the scarcity of information escaping its borders.

Few ever ventured out from Wano, rendering it a fiefdom ruled by Kaido and Orochi...

Yet, under their reign, Wano languished.

Gone were the days of stability!

Instead, famine and warfare plagued its people, subjected to the brutality of Kaido's underlings.

The inhabitants of Wano lived in dire circumstances, their freedoms stripped away, their futures bleak.

In such times, many succumbed to numbness, resigned to their fate.

But they lacked the strength to overthrow Orochi and Kaido's dominion!

Just because Orochi had thousands of formidable subordinates.

Not to mention Kaido, not to mention his identity and strength as a Yonko.

The Three All-Star and numerous executives under him alone possessed powers beyond the comprehension of ordinary folk!

The people of Wano Country could only endure being oppressed!

Living in such dire circumstances, it was only with Luffy's arrival that everyone glimpsed a ray of hope.

The populace despised tyrants like Kaido the most, naturally yearning for Luffy to vanquish him.

To free the entire Wano Country!

To restore vitality to all the people of Wano!

But hope is just that, a hope. Everyone knew all too well that Kaido's might was overwhelming.

As one of the Four Emperors, he had already ascended to the apex among all the mighty individuals in the entire sea!

Even the mere spectacle of their previous clash with Big Mom left everyone awestruck!

They hadn't unleashed their full power, yet the force they exerted nearly rent the entire island asunder...

This was the dread-inducing might of the Four Emperors, instilling a sense of despair in people's hearts.

If Luffy could truly defeat Kaido, then his name would resonate as the Fifth Emperor of the Sea...

And no one would doubt it any longer!

However, this endeavor appears exceedingly daunting!

It's no wonder it's deemed the top battle among the top ten. The enemies, dangers, and trials faced in this skirmish... are unparalleled, unmatched by the preceding nine battles!

Not only were the countless spectators anxious about Luffy's next move...

Even amidst the formidable figures of the sea like Garp, Sengoku, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, Ace, and many others who hold concern for Luffy, at this juncture, couldn't help but harbor apprehension for him...

For the enemies he faces aren't solely Kaido.

There's yet another threat lurking in the realm of peace and order! 

Facing the menace of two Yonkos.

Can Luffy truly bring liberation to all of Wano Country?

[The scene continues to unfold...]

[Finally, the day of the decisive battle arrives. Luffy and his companions adhere to the pact they made via Den Den Mushi.]

[They lead their group, advancing towards the domain of the colossal serpent from the quarry...]

[Meanwhile, Zoro, Robin, and the rest unite with numerous others who defy Kaido.]

[This time, they assemble thousands of fighters to mount a unified assault on Kaido!]

[Though the journey was fraught with obstacles, they finally converge.]

[Yet, as everyone gathers, a mishap occurs...]

[Luffy and his comrades' strategy is prematurely exposed by a traitor lurking among the masses!]

[Kaido and Orochi learn of their impending rebellion in advance!]

[This catches them off guard. Thousands of troops are lost in an instant, leaving only the core combatants!]

[However, at this critical juncture, Law and Kidd, both Supernovas...]

[Having overcome their own respective predicaments, they stand before Luffy!]

[The two arrive in Wano with the shared aim of toppling Kaido's reign, swiftly forging an alliance with Luffy!]

[Three Supernovas, plus Zoro, four in total!]

[Determined to confront Kaido and Big Mom, the two Yonkos, together...]
