Chapter 278 : Jinbe Appears!!

As the live broadcast lit up the sky,

It revealed Luffy, Kid, and Law forging an alliance to take down Kaido.

The crowd erupted in excitement!

It's common knowledge that Law and Kid match Zoro and Luffy in strength.

With them onboard, the odds of success in this mission skyrocketed...

Law had entered Wano from the start and witnessed Kaido's defeat of Luffy.

So, considering their previous camaraderie, it wasn't shocking they allied.

What truly stunned everyone was Kid's agreement to join forces with Luffy!

Among all the Supernovas, aside from Luffy and Zoro, there's also Eustass Kid.

He's considered the most formidable!

His Haki and Devil Fruit abilities make him a formidable opponent.

When they met at the quarry earlier, Luffy had invited him to join their coalition against Kaido.

But he declined then, departing with Killer.

Never did they imagine that upon meeting again, Kid would proactively seek an alliance with Luffy to take down Kaido.

Yet, upon reflection, it's understandable.

After all, Kid was gravely wounded by Kaido's inexplicable sky fall and endured lengthy imprisonment in the quarry.

His pride and arrogance wouldn't allow him to let it slide!

Besides, taking down Kaido alone seemed almost impossible for him.

The only viable option was to ally with Luffy and others to defeat Kaido...

At this juncture, Luffy's camp, in addition to the native Wano samurai, had bolstered their forces with four Supernovas.

Undoubtedly, this significantly boosted their combat prowess!

The anticipation for the next scene heightened among everyone.

What direction will the story take now?

[Immediately afterward, the screen continued to unfold...]

[With Law and Kid joining forces, the Straw Hat Pirates' strength surged once more!]

[Engaging Kaido's men head-on, they swiftly vanquished almost all adversaries in mere strokes!]

[However, a new arrival disrupted the battlefield - Orochi's subordinates!]

[Their prowess was formidable; even Zoro hesitated in the face of Denjiro...]

[It seemed a major clash awaited Luffy and his comrades before they even set foot on Onigashima!]

[Both Kaido's and Orochi's men brimmed with anticipation, but then came a startling turn of events...]

[Denjiro unsheathed his sword in an instant, unleashing a ferocious slash!]

[Yet, his target wasn't Luffy and company but Kaido's forces!]

[This revelation left everyone dumbfounded; Denjiro wasn't aligned with Kaido after all.]

[In fact, he'd concealed his loyalty to Orochi over the years, serving as a mere facade.]

[His true allegiance lay with Kozuki Oden, patiently awaiting his moment.]

[And now, that moment had arrived...]

[Denjiro refrained from exposing himself earlier, wary of the traitors lurking within Kaido's ranks.]

[To avoid tipping his hand, he masqueraded as Orochi's loyal follower.]

[With the rebels rallying once more and the emergence of Luffy and the supernovas, hope for overthrowing Orochi and Kaido reignited!]

[Hence, Denjiro revealed his true identity without hesitation, aligning himself with the cause!]

[Addressing Kinemon, Luffy, and the others, Denjiro declared the enlistment of over a thousand of his subordinates into the resistance army.]

[Excitement rippled through the gathered allies...]

[This would undoubtedly bolster their forces significantly!] 

And countless viewers couldn't help but feel elated for Luffy as they witnessed the scene unfolding in the sky.

With Denjiro joining their ranks, their power had unquestionably surged. 

Denjiro's prowess with the sword was exceptional, even making Zoro a tad apprehensive; unquestionably, he was a swordsmanship master.

Moreover, his arrival came with over 1,500 men in tow—a formidable force indeed!

Now, alongside Kid and Law, there were two Supernovas.

And with the inclusion of over a thousand samurai like Jiro, the odds of toppling Kaido soared even higher!

[Everyone launched an assault against Kaido and Orochi's forces present!]

[However, what shocked them most was the news that continually spilled from their enemies' lips.]

[It was revealed that Kaido and Big Mom had initially fought each other for reasons unknown, but ultimately... they formed an alliance!]

[In essence, Luffy wasn't the sole party forging alliances; Kaido had also joined forces with Big Mom!]

[Their shared objective: to quash all rebellion and eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates!]

[The sheer might of this Yonko alliance was beyond comprehension!]

[A visual depicted Kaido and Big Mom arm in arm, reveling and sharing a drink.]

[This visual confirmation solidified the words of those scattered informants...]

[Yet, despite this revelation, Luffy and his comrades' resolve to take down Kaido and his ilk remained unwavering.]

[However, just as they finished off their foes and geared up to depart, tragedy struck once more...]

[A sudden onslaught of pirate ships armed with long-range cannons ambushed Luffy and his crew from the rear.]

[With a marked disadvantage in weaponry, they found themselves forced into a defensive stance, constantly evading incoming fire.]

[In a matter of minutes, nearly half of the pirate fleet lay in ruins, leaving Luffy and his comrades deeply unsettled. After all, those aboard their vessel were either Devil Fruit users or skilled swordsmen, offering little advantage on the open sea.]

[In such a maritime battlefield, the odds were stacked against them, especially in long-range combat where their adversaries held the upper hand.]

[Yet, just as hope seemed to dwindle, a remarkable figure emerged…]

[Swiftly navigating beneath the waves, covering vast distances in mere moments, he surfaced with astonishing speed!]

[With a devastating water-based assault, he struck from beneath the ocean's depths, shattering the enemy fleet in one fell swoop!]

[His imposing presence graced the scene, revealing him to be one of the legendary Seven Warlords of the Sea…]

[Jinbei, the Knight of the Sea!]
