I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"That naval encirclement operation was led by Admiral Zephyr, and the location was Sword Mountain Island in the first half of the Grand Line."

"At the end of the battle, a massive tsunami apparently occurred, which stopped the fighting between the two sides. The coffin and its lid were buried at the bottom of the sea by the tsunami's giant waves and have never seen the light of day since."

“Until recently…” Morgans began to recount.

He was an intelligence expert in the underworld. Although he wasn't present during the Battle of Sword Mountain Island, he spoke as if he were there, and even produced two photos he had taken.

“That sounds interesting…” Becky took a drag of her cigarette, but was a little puzzled:

"But why are you telling us this?"

"I only wish to use you to convey this news to the reclusive Sieg," Morgans replied.

"Some say that this coffin is related to the secret of Sieg's resurrection."

“I think this must be something very important, and it used to belong to Sieg. So he should be interested.”

Morgans is a big shot in the underworld, but he doesn't actually have a direct conflict with the Four Emperors of the Sea.

Since it looks like Kaido's ship is about to be pierced by Higuma, let's switch to another ship.

As for Sieg... if we delve deeper, Morgans and Sieg were longtime partners. They started cooperating on a newspaper as early as when Sieg first entered the Grand Line and arrived at Sword Mountain Island.

Becky and Law exchanged a glance.

Although the two of them were not Sig's people, they got along quite well a year or two ago.

If Morgans is right, and the coffin is something important, then they should indeed pass the message on to Sieg.

"Understood, I will pass on this message." Luo nodded in agreement.

After Morgans finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

He is still outwardly a ally of Kaido, and associating with these Supernovas would make him appear as a traitor.

Once Morgans left, Law and Becky quickly got down to business.

"There are many strong people standing at the top of the world. The admirals of the Navy are the ceiling of the Navy, and the emperors of the pirates are the ceiling of the pirates."

Becky began to speak:

"However, neither the generals nor the four emperors are invincible or without flaws. We are not without a chance."

"Among the admirals of the Navy, there were once two who possessed Conqueror's Haki, but they are no longer in the Navy."

"The current generals, although all of them are physically healthy, none of them possess Conqueror's Haki."

"Furthermore, regarding the Four Emperors... each of them has their own weaknesses and shortcomings..."

The older generation of the Four Emperors could be described as a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people.

Whitebeard was old and sick, Big Mom was mentally challenged, and Shanks was crippled and missing an arm... Of course, that was the original script.

Whether it's the general or these three emperors, they all have flaws and weaknesses.

"And Kaido is the same."

"His greatest weakness was his mental illness, which existed even before he went blind."

“Mental illness is a more serious weakness than physical disability,” Becky said firmly.

He was very perceptive; he had secretly observed the weaknesses of the older women in the group back then, and he was still quite perceptive now.

Although Kaido managed to escape from the battle of Elbaf a year ago, Bege also witnessed many things.

"Kaido has two scars on his chest that still ache faintly. I heard that they were left by a powerful swordsman who almost ended Kaido's life."

Even now, many years later, as one of the Four Emperors, Kaido has not been able to completely escape the shadow of his past.

"His shadow doesn't end there... Years later, he nearly died twice, and the foundation of his pirate crew was uprooted... Twice."

"And this is our chance to win..." Bege was trying to boost his allies' confidence in fighting the Four Emperors, fundamentally explaining Kaido's psychological trauma.

Just then, the outside suddenly became noisy, and the cries of many people could be faintly heard.

"what happened?"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Morgans returned.

Becky realized something too, and cautiously pushed open the window to take a look. Her face immediately turned pale.

The others followed his gaze and looked out, only to see a huge blue dragon coiled in the clouds above the city of Whole Cake Island, spewing flames everywhere.

A single burst of flame is enough to level a mountain, causing countless houses to collapse and melt, and civilians to cry out in despair.

"That's... Kaido?" Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and his fighting spirit was ignited.

"Why is he breathing fire everywhere? Have we been discovered? Is he looking for us?" Luo glanced at Morgans without saying a word, his suspicions growing.

“No, this is normal, just a drunken tantrum,” Morgans replied, regaining his composure.

"I heard that back when he was in Wano Country, he sometimes got drunk and caused trouble..."

As Morgans gazed at the giant dragon spewing fire across the Cake Island, he suddenly thought of his aunt from years ago.

"This is just like that old lady who had a food craving back in the day..." he thought to himself.

At this time.

The blue dragon in the Dragon Abyss seemed to sense Luffy and the others' gaze. It looked over from afar, then opened its mouth wide, and a huge fireball rapidly expanded within it, growing larger and larger in their field of vision, with a scorching heat wave hitting them.

"Morgans, is this normal?" Becky asked through gritted teeth, while simultaneously opening her chest cavity to allow her subordinates to take refuge inside her body.

call out!

A figure burst out of the window, and Luffy immediately rushed out.

Luo then placed his palm down, and a vortex of energy quickly enveloped the surroundings, opening up an invisible ROOM space.

"ROOM - The Conductor's Baton!"

With a flick of his finger, the massive fireball that was rushing towards them was drawn away by an invisible force and flew toward the side of the house.

Inside the ROOM, Law used his ability to alter the airflow, causing the trajectory of the massive fireball that was hurtling towards him to deviate, grazing past the house. The resulting heatwave still completely ignited the surrounding buildings.

"Actually, this might just be an accidental injury." Morgans also breathed a sigh of relief:

"Kaido is drunk, and it's understandable that he'd act out. It's not necessarily that he discovered you..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eye suddenly twitched.

"Kaido-----------"

He saw a dark red figure shooting straight into the sky.

At this moment, Luffy had transformed into Gear Fourth Boundman. The powerful Armament Haki that wrapped around his entire body turned his arms dark red, and hot sweat evaporated rapidly from his body. His originally thin body had swelled up a lot, and he had transformed into a dark red devilish muscle man.

Luffy's legs tucked tightly into his thighs like springs. Under the hardening effect of Armament Haki, the rubber man became even harder, as if he had become a spring man. His speed increased dramatically, and his dark red fists rained down like a storm, but he disappeared without a trace before everyone's eyes.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of rapid impacts, but no trace of the fists could be seen with the naked eye.

"This guy... is too reckless, isn't he?"

Law used his ability to deflect Kaido's attack, but Luffy... he beat Law to it and actually charged head-on into Kaido's breath attack by binding his Haki.

Bege frowned. In his opinion, Morgans was right; it wasn't time to go to war with Kaido yet.

Even though Kaido has lost an eye, he is still one of the Four Emperors, and you can't defeat him by brute force alone.

He glanced around and sighed inwardly.

Kaido was drunk, but his subordinates were not.

If Luffy acts rashly, he will inevitably be discovered. And there's no turning back in their battle with Kaido; they have no choice but to engage in a decisive battle ahead of schedule.

What should have been a well-planned conspiracy turned into an F2A (Free to Assist) operation.

"We have no choice but to go!"

"on!"

The Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates are both small in number, and they are currently inside Kaido's headquarters.

The disparity in troop strength was made up by Becky alone.

Doors and windows kept opening in his chest and eyes, and cannons roared, the dense rain of shells temporarily forcing the surrounding pirates back.

At that moment, Kaido in his dragon form fell to the ground like a meteor, smashing down a towering candy house.

Amidst the billowing dust, Kaido, in human form, rose from the ruins.

His left eye was blind, and he was limping; he no longer seemed as imposing as he once was.

But when its only remaining eye opens, its imposing aura still makes people instinctively afraid to look it in the eye.

"Well played."

Kaido's only remaining right eye stared at Luffy in front of him, then he shook his head, his expression slightly grim.

Now, he's sober.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Kaido's club slammed down with lightning speed, instantly knocking Gear Fourth Luffy flat.

Kaido put away his staff, glanced back at Luffy, and saw that Luffy's eyes had rolled back and he had already passed out.

He clenched his fist secretly.

While beating up the supernova, he seemed to have rediscovered his old feeling.

He still seemed like one of the Four Emperors, standing shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard, Big Mom, and others at the pinnacle, commanding countless...

It's like going back to those days, going back to those days.

Since when can even a minor character who can't withstand a single blow challenge him?

Do you really think he's an easy target, trying to use him as a training tool?

Kaido grinned, hoisted his spiked club onto his shoulder, and strolled through the ruins.

That feeling is slowly coming back...

"Boss Kaido, along with Straw Hat Luffy, there are two other Supernovas causing trouble," a subordinate hurriedly reported.

"Oh?" Kaido looked around, his voice deep and resonant:

"Who else?"
