Kaido: "Nani?! Zunesha is this...?"
Charlotte Linlin: "Mamahahaha! That trunk can really create a stir! If it were thrashed on this old hag's Whole Cake Island, I'm afraid Whole Cake Island would be overturned!"
Kouzuki Oden: "So that's how Wano Country opened up...?"
Shirahoshi: "If it were to attack a warship at sea, I'm afraid not a single warship could withstand that trunk..."
Kaku: "Warship...??? Why do you think so highly of warships? Even if Poseidon came, that trunk would be useless to him~~~"
Rocks D. Xebec: "If you ask me... Zunesha itself is enough to be called an ancient weapon!"
Shiki: "Indeed! Its attack power is too strong!!! And its defense is ample!!!"
[Rumble rumble rumble]
[As Zunesha's trunk dug into the waterfall, a large opening was created, and raging river water poured outwards!]
["Joyboy... wait a moment... let the water level drop to the opening, then I'll continue digging down..." Zunesha's voice reached Luffy's mind~~~]
["Understood!"]
[Luffy understood Zunesha's meaning~~~]
[If he were to directly smash this wall to the bottom, the amount of water released would be enormous!]
[Just by digging down section by section like this, the water from Wano Country's "super reservoir" can be slowly released~~~]
[Wano Country...]
[The moment Zunesha's trunk went down, the entire Wano Country immediately experienced a violent tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred!!!]
["What's going on!?!"]
["Why is Wano Country, at such a high altitude, experiencing an earthquake?!"]
["Not good!!! Quickly look at the river water!!! Why has its flow suddenly increased so much...?"]
["It seems to be flowing towards the waterfall's opening. Did something happen there...?"]
["..."]
[For a time, in all the cities of Wano Country, people noticed the strange phenomenon of the river water suddenly surging!!!]
["Boss Kaido, the water flow seems to have suddenly gone wrong!!! It's rapidly flowing towards the waterfall's exit!!!"]
[Sasaki of the Flying Six reported to Kaido.]
[At this moment, a blurred dragon figure flew in through the gate of the Skull Dome.]
[As soon as he landed, the man, whose face was not good, roared, "Boss Kaido, this is bad!!! The water level of the entire Wano Country is rapidly dropping!!! It seems this country's encircling wall has been broken by someone!!!"]
[The Beasts Pirates had been here for about 20 years, so they naturally knew Wano Country's terrain very well...]
[...and the ancient cities buried underwater, they all knew~~~]
[At this moment, a truly anxious leader rushed in. Seeing Kaido, he shouted, "Not good! Lord Commander!! The water level is dropping severely! All our ships are dropping with the water level!!! Now Onigashima has completely become a floating island in the sky!!!"]
["What!!"]
[Upon hearing this, Kaido's drunkenness instantly cleared up...]
[He quickly strode out, and with a shake of his body, transformed into a green dragon and soared upwards!]
[His dragon tail swayed, and flames surged around him. In a blink of an eye, he reached the edge of Onigashima~~~]
[In his line of sight...]
[The water level around Onigashima was already several meters lower than Onigashima's horizon!!!]
["Then what about those dozens of pirate ships below!!!"]
[There were also many pirates yelling and screaming on the ship's deck~~~]
[And these pirate ships were surging forward with the current...]
["Damn it!!"]
[Facing this situation, Kaido could only scratch his ears and cheeks, utterly helpless!!!]
[Without water and ships, besides a few people with flying abilities, others couldn't leave Onigashima at all!!!]
[What's even worse, the water level was still dropping. Once all the "reservoir water" of Wano Country flowed away, then the ancient cities and the land of Wano Country would appear...]
[By that time, Kaido would have to transport the Beasts Pirates' members down one by one...]
[Otherwise, at such a height, the pirates falling down would undoubtedly die!!!]
["Damn it!! Which bastard did this in the end?!!"]
[Kaido was practically fuming, and almost wanted to fly over and beat someone to death~~~]
Charlotte Linlin: "This old hag is dying of laughter!!! The ships are gone, and Onigashima has directly become the Beasts Pirates' cage~~~ Mamahahaha!!"
Charlotte Katakuri: "If the water level isn't too low, jumping into the water is still possible to escape! But... there's a downside, which is that they'll be washed out into the open sea..."
Edward Newgate: "Most of Kaido's subordinates are Zoan-type Devil Fruit users! If they jump into the water, they're finished! If they don't jump, they'll be stranded on the island! Gurararara...!!!"
Marco: "Looks like... Kaido will just have to carry them down batch by batch~~~"
Shiki: "That can't be~~~ How can the strongest creature on land, sea, and air act as a porter for his subordinates??? Doesn't my old brother have any face??? Gyahahahahaha!!!"
Wang Zhi: "Hahaha! Exactly, absolutely not!!!"
Kaido: "You trash, how could you be so outrageous?!"
Looking at himself in the red-framed video, trapped in such a desperate situation, Kaido now wanted nothing more than to beat Luffy to death...
[With Zunesha controlling the water level, Luffy didn't need to guard this side. He and Buggy flew towards the interior of Wano Country~~~]
["There are people living down there. It looks so dilapidated... Let's go see them!!"]
[Coming above the town of Kuri, Luffy looked down and said.]
[Buggy landed with Luffy.]
["The common people here look so miserable..."]
[Luffy looked around, his eyebrows furrowed.]
["It seems not only are they miserable, but look over there—"]
[Buggy pointed to the right and said.]
[Luffy looked over. He immediately saw two human skeletons. From their physique, it seemed to be an old man with a child~~~]
[It seemed they had just died recently, but the flesh on their bodies had already been eaten clean by wild beasts...]
[Luffy, having nothing to do, asked a few commoners~~~]
[These commoners lived a life of hardship, so their time was worthless. When he asked them, they immediately spoke up without hesitation~~~]
[After some understanding, Luffy finally understood why this town was so terrible~~~]
[It turned out that the pollution discharged from the Beasts Pirates' weapon factory had polluted this land and water sources, causing the land to be unable to plant food, and even the fish in the river were poisonous...]
[And the Peach Blossom Village, which planted clean food, was controlled by Doflamingo's officials and pirates. They only sold expired and moldy food to these commoners!!!]
[Luffy and Buggy left the town of Kuri, and went to Ebisu Town.]
[Amidst the crowd, Luffy discovered that the common people in this town weren't doing well either...]
[Only a few Wano Country officials and pirates were the owners of this town. The other common people were just their playthings.]
[Hey!!—]
[At this moment, a dragon flew in the sky...]
["That thing... is it Kaido?"]
[Luffy opened his mouth suspiciously, having sensed the recently flown Kaido's Conqueror's Haki.]
[Buggy nodded. "It seems so..."]
[Neither of them knew what Kaido's Devil Fruit was, so they didn't know that was Kaido...]
["Let's go! Let's follow and see!"]
[The two quickly flew from their spot...]
[Kaido swiftly flew towards Onigashima's edge, and immediately saw the massive Zunesha supporting the wall~~~]
["Ah!!! Damn it!!! It's actually you bastard...!!!"]
[Seeing all this was done by Zunesha, Kaido was furious~~~]
[Without any thoughts, Kaido now only wanted to destroy Zunesha!!!]
["Boro Breath!!!"]
[He opened his mouth and immediately spewed out a Boro Breath~~~]
[Towards Zunesha below, it exploded!!!]
[Feeling the crisis from Kaido, Zunesha reacted quickly. It immediately raised its trunk, blocking this Boro Breath~~~]
[However... the power of Boro Breath was not simple~~~]
[Bang!!—]
[Under the fierce explosion, Zunesha's trunk instantly blossomed with flesh and blood~~~]
[With a pained roar, Zunesha subconsciously took a step back.]
["What!! He only took this much damage???"]
[Seeing that Zunesha's trunk wasn't broken off, Kaido got even angrier!!!]
[It's the strongest creature on land, sea, and air. To actually only have its giant trunk broken by a simple Boro Breath is simply a huge humiliation for Kaido!!!]
["Fire Dragon Great Blaze!!—"]
[Surging flames ignited on Kaido's body. These dense flames were like flowing magma...]
[Kaido raised his huge head, fiercely lifting it, and was about to swoop down~~~]
[Hey!!!]
[Just then, a gigantic hand descended from the sky, grabbing his neck with one grab...]
[Oof~~~]
[Kaido only felt his breathing hitch!!!]
[Before he could react, this gigantic hand directly grabbed him and dragged him to the ground!!!]
[Bang!!—]
[Luffy slammed Kaido's head heavily onto the ground~~~]
["What is that thing??? Why is it attacking Zunesha???"]
[Looking at the dragon-shaped Kaido on the ground, Luffy asked coldly.]
[Luffy didn't recognize the dragon-shaped Kaido, but Kaido recognized Luffy...!!!]
["Straw Hat Luffy???"]
[The moment he saw Luffy, Kaido's eyes widened suddenly. "Why are you here!!!"]
[Luffy frowned: "You know me? Who are you???"]
["I'm Kaido, you old man!" With a roar, Kaido instantly transformed into human form~~~]
["So it was you!"]
[Upon learning Kaido's identity, Luffy's face also cooled down... What he had seen and heard in the towns of Kuri and Okobore had made Luffy's impression of Kaido plummet to rock bottom!!! To put it plainly,
Kaido's situation was almost identical to Doflamingo's: both wanted to seize a country as their base~~ However, Doflamingo could enable the commoners of Dressrosa to live better lives~~ But what about Kaido???
The commoners of Wano Country were practically living in hell! Not to mention Doflamingo, even compared to Charlotte Linlin, who was also a Yonko, Kaido was simply despicable!!! Both were Yonko, yet the gap between these Emperors was so vast...
"Damn Straw Hat brat!! Why are you destroying my territory!?" Kaido demanded.
"Your territory??" Hearing this, Luffy immediately chuckled. "You seriously have the nerve to call this your territory?!"
??? Kaido was instantly filled with question marks, looking bewildered at Luffy. "What do you mean? Isn't this the main base of my Beasts Pirates???"
"Bastard!! Look at the territory under your rule! Are those commoners living lives that humans should be living??? You can even see starving old people and children in the towns! Do you, a bastard like you, even deserve to call yourself the ruler of this territory?"
Luffy landed in front of Kaido, glaring fixedly at him, his eyes blazing with furious anger~~~ He wasn't someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs, but some things, he couldn't just turn a blind eye to!!!
Back in the Totto Land sea area, although the commoners had to periodically give Charlotte Linlin a month of their lifespan, Charlotte Linlin at least protected them!!! If Luffy were to drive the Big Mom Pirates out of the Totto Land sea area, then the commoners of that sea area would only face disaster and suffering...
But now, this Wano Country right before his eyes~~~ was already a living hell... Even if the people of this country were just thrown into the sea, they'd probably be more comfortable than living here! If Luffy were to drive the Beasts Pirates out of Wano Country, then the commoners of Wano Country would usher in a better life!!!
Under such a premise... then Luffy was willing to meddle in this matter~~~ Just like what he did in the Alabasta Kingdom back then!!! "Hahahahaha!"
Hearing Luffy's question, Kaido burst into uncontrollable laughter. He looked at Luffy with a playful gaze, mocking, "Straw Hat brat, are you really a pirate?! Do pirates sympathize with commoners and slaves? Hahahaha!"
Bang!!— Luffy threw a punch, and it instantly landed on Kaido's face~~~ Kaido hadn't even reacted yet before he was sent flying!
"Laugh? Laugh your mother's ass off!!!" Luffy, rarely, cursed~~~
Commoners? Slaves? Hearing Kaido's address to this country's commoners, Luffy immediately understood why the commoners of this country lived lives like hell... Clearly, Kaido simply didn't treat them as human!
Just as Zephyr and Garp believed in the idea of "With great power comes great responsibility," Luffy now strongly agreed with this statement! But he would add a condition to it...
"Within his capabilities, with greater power comes greater responsibility!!!"
The moment Kaido uttered those words just now, Luffy had already decided!!! He was going to beat Kaido to death here!
"Ah!!—!" Suddenly sitting up from the pile of rubble, Kaido rubbed his face, filled with fury!!!
"Straw Hat brat, you're looking for death!!"
"Thunder Bagua!!—!" Lightning and energy ripples entwined around his spiked club, and Kaido's figure furiously charged towards Luffy~~~
"Split!!—!" Buggy's hand flew out independently, landing on Kaido's spiked club!!!
Clatter, clatter, shattering into countless fine sand-like particles... "What!! Where's my spiked club?" His hand suddenly empty, Kaido's figure paused, and he stared in stunned disbelief.
No sooner had he spoken than Buggy's voice came from above his head: "It's here!!—!"
Clatter, clatter~~~ Countless fine sand particles instantly reformed into a spiked club in front of Buggy!!! Then, with incomparable ferocity, it slammed towards Kaido!
