Kaido Enters the Country of Peace!

The climate in the New World is capricious and ever-changing, but this capricious and ever-changing weather doesn't seem to affect the islands of the New World.

Even if there is an impact, compared to the exaggerated natural phenomena at sea, the islands are much milder, seemingly due to the magnetic field carried by the islands mediating such harsh weather.

At this moment, outside of the Land of Wano, dark clouds covered the sky, fierce winds blew, stirring up terrifying waves, and fist-sized downpours relentlessly hammered into the sea.

Meanwhile, on the tumultuous sea, a massive pirate ship bobbed up and down with the waves.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did the weather suddenly become so terrible?"

"I have no idea, according to the forecast, the weather shouldn't be like this!"

"How much longer until we reach the nearest island?"

"According to the compass, we'll be there soon! Once we enter the harbor, we'll be safe."

Suddenly.

All the pirates on this pirate ship suddenly felt a palpitation. As seasoned pirates who have navigated the New World, these people almost simultaneously had a slight change in their gaze, quickly gripping the hilts of the long swords hanging from their waists, then abruptly looking up at the night sky where the disturbance originated.

Almost at the same time.

Accompanied by a lightning bolt illuminating the night sky.

What they saw was a blue dragon meandering through the night sky, stepping on flames.

"That's... a dragon!?"

Looking at the giant dragon appearing in the night sky, the members of the pirate crew were dumbfounded.

Clearly, they couldn't fathom why such a legendary creature would appear here.

In the night sky.

The dragon seemed to have noticed them, its cold eyes scanning towards the sea, and soon the gazes of both sides met in the air.

Facing the oppressive aura emanating from this terrifying creature, many pirates couldn't help but swallow hard, and their muscles trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment.

Boom!

Without warning, a thick purple lightning bolt flashed out of the clouds, striking towards the direction where the pirates were.

In an instant, the pirate crew, along with the pirate ship, were engulfed in dazzling purple lightning.

"Kaido!"

Just as the dragon was about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the direction of the pirate ship, and a red light shot up from the ship.

Apparently, there were survivors from the previous strike, and they recognized Kaido.

In the night sky.

Kaido, in dragon form, immediately sensed the commotion on the sea surface.

With fierce and indifferent eyes, a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

Faced with such a furious attack.

Kaido could easily dodge by twisting his body, but there was no need.

Boom!

The attack struck Kaido's dragon body.

Then, the shockwaves dispersed.

This seemingly fierce attack did not cause any harm to Kaido, not even leaving a trace of damage.

"What a joke..."

The person on the pirate ship whose upper body had turned into a cannon couldn't believe it. This attack was almost his strongest.

The dragon-shaped Kaido lowered his head and looked down at the cannon-man, saying coldly, "Huh, your attack is far inferior to that guy from VegaPunk!"

Thinking of VegaPunk's methods, Kaido felt his body starting to ache faintly.

Pain, it's too painful!

Then, with a massive sweep of his dragon body, Kaido released a series of long wind blades, flying towards the pirate ship below.

There were too many wind blades, completely sealing off any space for evasion.

And the speed was extremely fast, arriving in front of the cannon-man in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm? This guy!"

The cannon-man's heart trembled, quickly transforming his upper body into a Gatling form, and solidifying his Armament Haki, covering his body. Bullets shot out like raindrops, aiming at the oncoming wind blades.

He didn't even think about dodging the wind blades. Once a Devil Fruit user lost their footing on the sea, there was only one way to go.

So he only thought about using his powerful firepower to forcibly offset the wind blades, thus neutralizing this formidable attack.

But—

As his bullets hit the wind blades, he realized how naive he was.

"This power, this intensity, this sharpness..."

Only to see the wind blades pierce through the barrage and cut into the cannon-man's body.

Swoosh!

In the pouring rain, limbs and innards mixed with a large amount of blood splattered into the air.

The captain of the Weapons Pirates, with a shocked expression, dropped his head, still wearing an incredulous look even as his head fell to the ground.

This... was an absolute disparity.

"Lord Kaido, aren't we supposed to expand our influence? That guy has some strength, why not recruit him?"

Looking at the sinking ship below, a pteranodon, with wings burning in flames, flapped its wings beside Kaido and asked.

The reason why the members of the Weapons Pirates didn't notice this winged dragon earlier was that compared to Kaido's huge dragon body, this winged dragon was too small.

"Unfortunately, he's not an animal-type. We're forming a pirate crew consisting entirely of animal-type Devil Fruit users. Alright, King, let's hurry up and head to the Land of Wano. I can't wait to see my territory."

Said Kaido confidently, according to the information provided by King, the only thing to be feared in the Land of Wano right now was the renowned Kin'emon, while the other so-called samurai were all inferior in Kaido's eyes.
