Zow Island.

After the Straw Hats sighed that this great life form called the Elephant Lord, they gathered with the cat pit viper boss and the Duke Inuarashi on the island.

"Momonosuke is dead."

Trafalgar Rowe had better share the news with the two of them.

"Yes...... Is it? ”

Cat Pit Viper and Inuarashi, the two bosses of the fur clan who divided the day and night of Zou Island equally, because of Momonosuke's death, once again let go of the bad things in their hearts and united again.

"Now our situation is very uncertain!"

"Our teammates have defected, those who have been caught have been caught, and now if we want to overthrow the Four Emperors Kaido, in addition to our few combat forces, there are no other extra fighters who can contribute to us, so I suggest that we unite some combat power that can be combined in Duoduo and go to a decisive battle with Kaido!"

Trafalgar Rowe said as he gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Nope! There is no time left! ”

Luffy gulped down the meat while rejecting Trafalgar Rowe's proposal.

"But with our strength, it would be self-defeating to challenge the Four Emperors Kaido now!"

Law retorted towards Luffy.

"However, if we wait until Yamato defeats Kaido first and obtains the historical text of the signpost, then everything we have done will be wasted!"

Luffy frowned, he was still worried that Yamato would get the signpost history text one step ahead of him, mainly now that Yamato had gathered three pieces of signpost history text, if the other party was getting the last one, then everything would be over, and before Yamato's death ended, there could only be one One Piece on this sea, and that was Yamato! It's not something Luffy wants to see!

"Hey! Luo, we don't know anyone on this sea, which means that we can't find any companions, so let's divide into two ways, you go and continue to gather the companions who plan to overthrow Kaido, and we set off one step ahead of schedule, and go to Kaido's stronghold to find out the details of the other party! “

After thinking for a moment, Sauron spoke to Trafalgar Rowe.

"Are there two soldiers?"

"Indeed, in this case, you can also find a chance to rescue Kidd and the others, and I can also take the opportunity to gather a group of teammates to help you!"

The few quickly decided on a countermeasure, with Luffy going to Zuan to support Kidd in the lead, while Law was looking for teammates in the rear.

The Straw Hats sailed on a sunny day and headed for Zuan.

When the Straw Hat Navigation Group arrives at the foot of Zu'an Longmen......

Zoro's brow furrowed, and he felt a little familiar with this door.

"How are we going to get up?"

"There seems to be a boat queuing up over there to enter ......"

"Shall we go over and line up too?"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates looked at the huge embankment in front of them, and suddenly they didn't know what to do.

"Pirates!"

"Where are you from?"

Just when Luffy and his gang were extremely troubled, several warships surrounded the Straw Hat Pirates, and a leading samurai on the main ship, holding a katana in his hand, glared at Luffy and his gang viciously.

"Do you want to fight?"

Sanji had a cigarette in his mouth and looked angry.

"Me! I won't be afraid! ”

Usopp looked at the battleship beside him and the heavily armed warriors, and his body trembled slightly.

"Wait......"

At this moment, the leading samurai suddenly shouted to his subordinates.

"What's wrong? Top dog? ”

The men looked at the leading samurai suspiciously.

"Stupid...... That's the adult's apprentice! ”

"The whole team get out of the way of the blocked road, and let the civilian ships that bet on Longmen go up in a while, and the adult's apprentice is back!"

The leading samurai yelled at the people around him and ordered to make way for everyone.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that there is fraud in this?"

The Straw Hats saw the samurai leave in their ships, and instead of moving forward, they just discussed in place.

While the Straw Hats were discussing, the samurai drove the warship to open a way for the Straw Hats to open a huge elevator to the Dragon Gate, and some civilian ships that were originally queuing up consciously gave up their positions after hearing that the adult's apprentice had returned to Zu'an, and drove the boat aside, ready to see the appearance of the adult's apprentice.

"Huh......"

Zoro looked at the battle in front of him, a few drops of sweat overflowed on his forehead, and now that he thought about it, he was really stupid enough to live here for so long and didn't know that his teacher was the Four Emperors Kaido.

"What's wrong? Zoro! How do I think you seem to have a lot of sweat on your head? Do you have a cold? ”

Robin, who was delicate and observant, immediately noticed Sauron, who looked a little flustered, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she sensed something, and asked Sauron.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Sauron's body trembled slightly, and he shook his head at Robin again and again.

"Let's sail!"

At this time, Luffy gave the order.

Frankie immediately drove the Sonny towards the massive elevator.

"You look at the people looking at us and laughing!"

Usopp leaned on the fence of the Sonny, watching the fishermen on the civilian boats around him smile at them, and his mood gradually became happy.

"Oh really! Are the people here very hospitable? ”

Chopper looked in the direction of Usopp and smiled happily at the people of Zaun who were smiling and nodding at them.

"I always feel like it's not that simple."

Nami frowned, and a bad feeling gradually rose in her heart.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I think it's because you're thinking too much, maybe the Four Emperors Kaido is a good person! ”

Luffy looked at the warm smiles of the people of Zu'an and laughed, he knew that only the smiles on the faces of these people could not be faked, and the smile from the heart and the forced smile were two completely different smiles.

"Empty~"

While everyone was chatting, the Sunny had already driven into the huge elevator.

"Everyone sit down, it's very windy up there, you must be careful not to fall off!"

The elevator operator speaks to the Straw Hats on the Sonny.

"Oh!"

Everyone in the Straw Hats, except for Sauron, waved and nodded at the staff.

"Tsk......"

Only Zoro was secretly gritting his teeth, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, as if he was struggling with something.

"Boom ......"

With the sound of a tightrope turning, the Sonny slowly moved towards the top of the gate.

"Wow~"

"This is the first time I've seen an elevator specifically for boats!"

Luffy and the others held on to the railing and kept looking at the huge dragon gate in front of them, their eyes full of curiosity.

"What's ...... this?"

Zoro listened to Luffy and the others and shook his head slightly.

"Oh~ Sauron, you mean, you've seen the same thing as this elevator for ships?"

After listening to what Zoro had to say, Nami keenly picked up some important clues.

"Uh...... Yes, I've seen about it. ”

Sauron's expression flashed with an unnatural hint of panic.

"Liar!"

After listening to Zoro's words, Luffy suddenly jumped in front of Zoro and said softly.

"I'm not lying to ......"

After listening to Luffy's words, green tendons appeared on his forehead, and he explained with some fire, but at this moment, everyone had already passed through the two dragon gates and officially entered the country of Zuan.

As soon as the Straw Hat Navigation Regiment came up, it was surrounded by more than a dozen warships.

"Whew~"

The man at the head of the main ship had a cigar in his mouth and smoked heavily.

"Trouble!"

Zoro looked at the man standing on the main ship and immediately became alert.

"Thank you, Zoro! I didn't expect you to actually bring the Straw Hats to Zu'an...... I see, is it for a gift to His Majesty Kaido? ”

"Nonoroa Zoro! You really deserve to be Kaido's personal disciple! ”

Fisher Tiger stood on the main ship, praising Sauron's work.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Zoro! You shouldn't ......?"

"Sauron, have you really betrayed us?"

"I believe in you Zoro! You will not betray us! ”

After listening to Fisher Tiger's words, the companions of the Straw Hat Pirates flashed panic in their expressions and looked at Zoro nervously.

"Get ready to fight! Get out of here! ”

Instead of answering Usopp and Chopper's questions, Zoro went straight into combat form, and for Zoro it was the quickest way to express his attitude with his actions instead of talking nonsense.

"Zoro, I heard you have prepared a gift for me!"

However, just as Sauron was about to slash all the warships in front of him, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a huge divine dragon circled between the dark clouds, and asked Zoro under him.

"Oops! We've got the worst of our enemies! ”

Zoro looked at the huge dragon, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

"That's ...... What? ”

"Is it a dragon?"

"A mythical dragon?"

"Why does that stuff appear in real life?"

Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Frankie were all stunned as they looked at the giant dragon that was rolling and shuttling through the clouds, because in their minds, dragons only appeared in mythological stories.

"That's not a dragon! That's Kaido the Beast! ”

Sauron spoke to the group of friends behind him.

"Beast Kaido? Is Kaido the Beast a dragon? ”

Usopp asked in shock.

"It's not a dragon! Kaido the Beast is a Devil Fruit ability of the animal-based phantom beast species. ”

"But now isn't the time to correct that, hey! I'll go up and drag the other party in a while, you guys take this opportunity to run away quickly! ”

Zoro tied a turban around his head, took out three katanas, and prepared to use his Asura mode to fight Kaido.

"Kaido !!"

However, before Sauron could attack, Monchi · D. Luffy had already entered the fourth block and got up and flew up, attacking Kaido in the sky.

"Luffy, that idiot!"

Zoro watched as he flew into the sky, ready to take on Kaido. D. Luffy, shouted in a panic.

"Damn! While Luffy is dragging Kaido, let's retreat first! ”

Although Zoro is very worried about Luffy's safety, he knows that he has no time to continue grinding now, and he must leave and escape with his companions, otherwise he will be wiped out in a while, and there will really be no chance of turning the tables at all.

"Escape?!"

"But Luffy, he's still in the sky!"

After listening to Zoro's words, Usopp asked puzzledly, shouldn't they go together to help Luffy defeat a strong enemy at this time?

"Stupid! If you don't run away now, you won't have any chance! ”

"The opponent is not what we can beat now!"

Zoro shouted at Usopp very anxiously, although he also wanted to save Luffy, but the strength of the other party, he knew better than anyone else! Because the other party has taught him for two whole years, that is not on the same level as all the opponents they have faced, not on the same level! If the other party was an existence that could be beaten by a crowd of them, he wouldn't be so flustered.

"Listen to Zoro!"

In the moment when everyone was hesitating, Nami spoke, she and Zoro were the first two partners Luffy met, she believed that Zoro believed in each other as much as she did, but because of this, since Zoro said that he had to leave Luffy and run away at this time, it was really to the point where he had to run.

"Nami!"

"Good!"

After listening to the words of Nami, the captain of the True Straw Hat Pirates, everyone nodded and prepared to take the opportunity to escape, but although they said that they were preparing to take the opportunity to escape, in fact, they were just taking advantage of the moment when the enemy soldiers looked up at the sky and shuttled through the cracks of the enemy warship.

"You're Monchi... D. Luffy? ”

Kaido asked aloud as he looked at the huge rubber man in front of him, who looked like an orangutan.

"Hmmm! I'm Monchi. D. Luffy is the man who wants to become the king of the pirates! ”

Luffy floats in the air and gently bows his head towards Kaido to admit his identity.

"You said you were going to be the man of One Piece?"

After Kaido listened to Luffy's words, his brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly felt that a thunderous gossip could no longer make the man in front of him called Meng Qi · D. Luffy's bastard imp comes to his senses from his delusions of unreality.

"That's right! I'm the man who wants to be the king of the pirates in the future! ”

After listening to Kaido's question, Luffy nodded again and again, if a person doesn't even dare to say his dreams, then how can he realize his dreams? This is something that Luffy has always believed in.

"Good! Very good! ”

Kaido in the air said a few good words one after another, and then slowly turned into a human in the air...... Beast form.

Yes, Kaido was a little irritated by Wang Luffy's words, and directly entered the human-beast form.

Kaido stepped on the fire cloud, floating in the air, beckoning to the ground, and a mace suddenly flew up and came to Kaido's hand.

"Huh?"

Luffy looked at Kaido, who was holding a mace, and suddenly recalled a dusty memory in his mind, that is, he had just gone to sea and met a woman named Yamato.

"Descend to the third world, indonaluo!"

Kaido didn't bother to do any bells and whistles, so he teleported directly behind Luffy and fired a big move at Luffy's defenseless back.

The overlord-colored mace suddenly broke through Luffy's four-block defense, instantly smashing Luffy's eyes white, and then flew towards the peak of the mountain that Kaido was aiming at like a cannonball.

"Empty!"

In an instant, Luffy came to the mountain peak a few kilometers away, and smashed the hard rock to pieces.

Kaido nodded in satisfaction as he watched Luffy smash the mountain peaks a few kilometers away.
