Chapter 86 Nami, Robin, Zoro!

Luffy's eyes widened, his pupils completely dilated. He stared blankly at the two figures flying back.

Two years ago...

Ace died in front of his eyes like this.

Why?!

Why did they encounter such a thing before they even went to sea?!

Why did a companion, just reunited after waiting for two years, die before my eyes?!

Could it be because of me?

I shouldn't have wanted to grab the Mera-Mera Fruit!

If I hadn't tried to get it, I wouldn't have met Kaido!

They wouldn't have died...

It was my fault!

I killed them!

"Damn!!!" Luffy raised his head, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth wide. He yelled in remorse, tears flowing wildly from the corners of his eyes.

"Usopp!! Brook!!!" He sobbed and shouted. Out of nowhere, he jumped off Chopper's back and prepared to catch the bodies of both of them.

Rumble!!!

Luffy seemed to be hit by a missile. The moment he caught the two, he was blasted into the concrete.

"Ahem!!!" He couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood violently. His internal organs were once again injured by Kaido's residual force.

But he did not regret it. It was his rubber body that kept the bodies of both of them from being damaged by the final shockwave.

As long as he had them, maybe they could be saved!

Right! Brook has his Fruit Ability! He won't die so easily!

Usopp often says he wants to be a warrior of the sea! How can a warrior die easily?!

He seemed to be enchanted, believing that as long as he had faith, people were invincible and wouldn't die.

But he didn't know that in this world, he was the only one like this.

"Luffy!!" Several people from the Straw Hat Crew hurriedly ran over. "What happened to Brook and Usopp?!"

"Chopper!! Chopper!! Check on Usopp!" Luffy hurriedly crawled out of the ruins and put the soft Usopp in his hand on the ground.

He saw that Usopp was completely flattened without the support of a skeleton.

He used his hands to shape Usopp, but he couldn't return his body to its human form.

"Luffy~~~Oooo~~~" Even those who were not doctors knew that being beaten like this was impossible to cure, let alone resurrect.

Nami next to him threw herself into Franky's arms. They both cried out the names of Brook and Usopp.

Robin covered her mouth. Her eyes were extremely sad, tears pooling in her eye sockets. She sat directly on the ground, weakly, tears flowing down the back of her hand to the ground.

Zoro squeezed the handle of his sword, standing up trembling.

He looked gloomy like a ghost. His muscles bulged, and his veins jumped violently, unable to contain his rage.

Kaido, you bastard!!

How dare you kill our partners!!

"What about Brook! Brook!" Luffy picked up Brook's skull in desperation and said in a trembling voice, "Hey... Brook... You're alive! You're a powerful person! You must still be alive!!"

But his actions were not met with a response from Brook.

The skull had completely lost its vitality.

It made his companions cry even more.

Luffy slumped in place. Her pupils were out of focus, looking dimly at her deceased partner.

"Straw Hat, willfulness comes at a price."

At this moment, Kaido's voice came faintly.

Kaido walked slowly towards them and spoke as he walked.

"Your father, Dragon, your grandfather, Garp, your adoptive mother, Dadan, your teacher, Rayleigh,"

"It seems they have never taught you this truth."

"But I don't mind teaching you a lesson."

"Willfulness comes with a price for those around you."

"Come and see for yourself."

Kaido said this with a rising smile at the corner of his mouth.

If it wasn't for the Nika fruit and the Garp background, this guy would have died on the sea long ago because of his willfulness, again and again, countless times!

Along with his partners! His crew! His friends!

But now, Nika doesn't work in front of him! 

Kaido was here to teach him to be human. 

Luffy gradually heard it and slowly turned his head around. 

For a moment, he thought, why does Kaido know about Dadan and Rayleigh? 

Then he quickly realized Kaido would continue to attack his crew. 

He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and bit his arm with wide eyes. 

The red and black armed colors emerged again, and his round figure appeared once more. 

He declared, "Fourth gear!"

"Zoro!" 

"Ahh!" Zoro stood up in response. 

Ghostly and exuding a shocking murderous aura, 

Zoro's body distorted the air around him. 

The reddish Devil Cry wrapped Zoro like a thin layer of armor. 

It even formed an illusion, giving him three heads and six arms, wielding nine swords. 

"Asura!!"

Luffy inflated himself again after becoming fourth gear and used the third gear on top of the fourth gear. 

His bulging fist became almost the size of Kaido's whole body. 

He squeezed his arm layer by layer, and the powerful elastic energy slowly gathered. 

"Great Ape King Gun!!!"

A green figure with three heads and six arms swirled from the ground and rushed towards Kaido. 

A flying fist bigger than Kaido smashed towards Kaido in mid-air. 

But Kaido was not going to let them attack without a response. 

Besides defense, he wanted to show them the speed gap between them. 

Kaido's figure instantly disappeared, leaving a residual image. 

He vanished into the air. 

Luffy and Zoro's hearts tensed. 

"Where is he!?"

Zoro's gaze shifted slightly upward. 

Suddenly his eyes filled with blood, and he shouted, "Luffy! Behind!!" 

But it was too late—the huge iron rod hit Luffy again. 

One blow hammered Luffy into the ground, 

The red figure fell quickly. 

A large pit more than ten meters wide appeared with a bang.

Luffy rolled his eyes and lay on the ground, bleeding.

Kaido glanced at Zoro. 

Grinning, he disappeared again. 

Zoro quickly turned, but it wasn't in time. 

Not even nine swords, let alone nine hundred, could stop Kaido. 

Zoro flew backward, landing under the auction table, unconscious.

"Luffy... Zoro..." Nami cried out as she threw herself into Franky's arms. 

Through tear-filled eyes, she saw the scene unfold. 

In the next moment, Kaido appeared in front of Franky. 

Bang! 

Steel parts scattered everywhere. 

Franky was knocked to the ground and rolled a few times, unsure if he was alive. 

"..." 

Nami fainted after just one word. 

She was then thrown next to the unconscious Zoro. 

Robin's heart beat wildly. 

Although she stayed in a ready position, 

She couldn't use her move. 

Every time Kaido appeared, it was just for an instant—a complete one-sided massacre. 

She couldn't detect his location. 

Then Kaido appeared in front of her as well. 

With a stumble, Robin passed out and was thrown beside Nami.

Silence. 

Both Buggy and Morgans also passed out. 

Except for Luffy, the Straw Hat Crew had faint awareness; the others were unconscious. 

"Tesoro," Kaido said, looking at the golden egg created to hide from the sleep gas. 

"Yes!" The golden egg melted instantly, and the gorgeously dressed Tesoro responded. 

"Watch these three people; I have plans for them," Kaido said, carrying his mace. 

"Understood, please rest assured," Tesoro replied with a gentle bow.

Kaido turned his gaze to the clear sky outside. 

#73... 

Now, let's see if Sabo will come to save his brother. 

Then we'll witness a brotherly rescue drama. 

Oh laa.
