Jujutsu Kaisen: Throne

"Zi——!"

The dripping lava burned a large hole in the solid wood desk in a second!

Enraged, Akainu roared, "Get out of here, Borsalino!"

"Katz, Katz!"

The sound of someone munching on senbei (rice crackers) filled the air, and a half-open, amused face peeked out from the doorway of the marshal's office.

Looking at the enraged Akainu, Sengoku, with his graying hair, asked with a smile, "Fleet Admiral, it's not an easy job, is it?"

"Shut up, you semi-retired old man!"

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Sengoku, munching on a senbei (rice cracker), chuckled as he pulled his head back inside.

Finally, someone can understand how hard he has worked all these years.

.......

In the New World, there is an island near Wano Country that resembles a giant horned monster.

This Oni Island is one of the bases of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Beasts.

It is seven meters tall and has a pair of long dragon horns on its head.

She has long, black hair and a dragon-scale-like tattoo on her left arm.

His upper body was naked, with a crooked cross-shaped scar on his right abdomen.

Kaido of the Beasts is known as the "strongest" creature.

Just sitting on the stone bench without saying a word, he exuded a chillingly violent aura.

“Mr. Kaido…”

A black mask, a black double-breasted combat uniform.

Its wings were jet black, and flames surrounded the back of its head.

The Beasts Pirates' top rank, the leader of the "Three Great Disasters".

Jhin, nicknamed "The Flame Disaster".

I stared at the long, terrifying scar on Kaido's forehead.

King advised in a deep voice, "Mr. Kaido, let's do as that person asks for now."

Devil Fruits must be handed over monthly as protection money...

How could Kaido, who single-handedly attacked the Marine Headquarters and challenged the entire crew of the Four Emperors, possibly accept this?

It was precisely because he understood his captain's personality that Jhin's tone sounded troubled at this moment.

But King knew the fatal scar on Kaido's head.

It was six months ago, when he was drunk again and looking for a place to be buried, that he went to the former naval headquarters and left behind this.

Even if we don't know what happened, it must be related to the future of the Zen temple that is currently being published in the newspapers.

Hear the words.

Kaido, who is usually fearless, was unusually silent.

As Kaido touched the scar on his forehead with one hand, a deeply hidden horror flashed in the depths of his eyes.

That day, he didn't even see the monster in the center of the restricted area.

Just by using the dragon's body to enter the outer edge of the Sea of ​​Rules...

He survived for only a dozen seconds before nearly dying, despite being hailed as the strongest creature.

He hadn't even seen the full form of the monster that had survived in the center of the restricted area for a whole year.

"Brut—Brut!"

The ringing of the Den Den Mushi broke the deathly silence in the room at just the right moment.

Kaido frowned as he answered the phone, and a familiar voice, one he hadn't heard in a long time, came from the other end!

"Ma ma, ma ma!"

"Kaido, let's join forces once again after so long!"

Chapter 187: A Sports Student's Year and a Half of Reflection!

Half a year.

Located in the doldrums, an island in the northwest of the Amazonian kingdom.

The surrounding jungles and mountains completely obscure the interior scenery.

The island is home to countless enormous beasts, whose strength is considerable.

A year and a half has passed since the Marineford War.

After rescuing Ace, Luffy stayed here to learn how to use Haki from Pluton.

His hair and beard were all white, and there was a vertical scar above his right eye.

Silvers Rayleigh, the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, also known as "Dark King".

Sitting cross-legged on a stone pillar, Rayleigh sipped his wine and looked at the latest newspaper.

not far away.

Luffy, half-naked, is engaged in a fierce battle with a group of blue giant apes.

The stretched hands, feet, and fists were faintly wrapped in a layer of black light.

"I said......"

Rayleigh put down his newspaper and looked to his side: "It's quite rare to see a Marine like you being so close to a pirate."

He was about 1.8 meters tall and wore a navy cloak printed with the word "justice".

Spiky pink short hair, resolute face.

"Compared to other pirates, Luffy is more like an adventurer on the sea."

With his hands behind his head, Yuujin Itadori replied with a smile, "Even though I've joined the Navy, I will still selectively hunt down pirates."

“I will not let this wicked bastard who oppresses the common people get away with it.”

"Luffy is such an idiot... let's just forget about him."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Rayleigh laughed and took a sip of his old wine, glancing at Luffy as he murmured, "Fool? That's a really apt description."

"Hey!"

Luffy unleashed a burst of Armament Haki, blasting the last giant ape in front of him away.

He took a step forward and rushed in front of the two: "I heard it earlier with my Observation Haki!"

"You bastard Itadora, you're talking bad about me again!"

Before he could react, Luffy happened to see the newspaper in Rayleigh's hand.

"A martial arts tournament! It must be really exciting there!"

"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit..."

"Ace will definitely go for that white-bearded uncle's Devil Fruit too!"

As Luffy said this, his face was full of anticipation and longing.

"I know you really want to go, but it's not possible right now."

“You can’t give up halfway through your powerful training. You need at least another six months before you can go to sea.”

Rayleigh's expression was serious: "The experiences at Sabaody Archipelago, and the battles at Marineford..."

"You should have already witnessed the power of the new world, especially since the organizer is that man known as the 'Emperor'."

"Wait a little longer, that kind of stage is still too early for you."

Hear the words.

Luffy clenched his fists, and images flashed through his mind.

His helplessness when facing Marine Admiral Kizaru after defeating a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The despair he felt when facing the Shichibukai Kuma, sending his companions flying one by one before his very eyes.

The Marineford War, a cataclysmic battle between true powerhouses.

really......

The Straw Hat Pirates are not ready to venture into the New World yet.

Fortunately, they had Rayleigh's help.

Luffy has already passed on the news of the reunion two years later to the other crew members through the newspaper.

......

This is not the first time that Huzhang has visited this island.

Today's meeting was just something I happened to be doing while completing my mission.

As early as six months ago, the future would openly collect protection fees from world governments.

Itadori frequently traveled to Amazon Lily with missions to meet the pirate empress.

Their acquaintance was also an unexpected situation caused by the Sea Kings.

In other words, Itachi had told Rayleigh about his origins.

Try to persuade Luffy to quit.

Rayleigh glanced at Itajimaru beside him: "Bring out the Tremor-Tremor Fruit as a prize..."

Do you have any clues about that emperor's purpose?
