Polo Island, White Villa.
Sephiroth bought a lot of ingredients in Hallsta City. After returning home, he took a quick shower, washed the smell of blood from his body, then got busy in the kitchen. He made dishes skillfully, humming a relaxed tune.
Uta came in, opened the fridge, and tiptoed to get a bottle of orange juice. After chugging its contents, she turned to Sephiroth.
"Sephiroth, did you find something good? I feel a happy and relaxed aura from you," Uta asked hesitantly.
"Exactly! I had a lot of fun today! Tonight, we're having a feast! Uta, what do you want to eat? Just name it!" Sephiroth replied.
The girl tilted her head. "Hmm… I want to eat pancakes!"
"Okay!" Sephiroth smiled and nodded. Based on the principle of "justice," he continued, "Can you ask Perona, Isca, and Guina what they want to eat? I'll make it."
Just then, Perona floated into the kitchen. The pink-haired girl quickly cracked her fingers one by one and began to order. "Roasted duck, steamed lamb, sliced suckling pig, shark fin chicken soup, ginger fish fillet…"
Sephiroth saw that Perona had counted twice and was preparing to count for the third time. He quickly raised his hand. "Stop!"
"That's a lot! Can you even finish all of it?"
"Ah! That…" Perona stuck out her tongue. "Then I'll order this first."
On the beach, a group of unruly soldiers was busy preparing a big bonfire party.
"ARRRGH! Bastards, what are you going to do?!"
"Crazy Marines! If you dare, let me go! I'll behead all of you!"
"I'll curse you and you'll go to hell with me!"
In the middle of the growing pile of firewood, more than twenty injured pirates continued to curse, venting their anger and fear. The G-5 soldiers, with a crisp laugh, just continued their work.
Not far from there, Frank sat next to Major Yarisky. Yarisky, who used to be a harper on the ship, told a story cheerfully. "Major Frank, listen to this! I once tried to fish for sharks with pirates. Before I knew it, I caught a Sea King instead!"
"Hahaha! Really?" Frank could only force a wry smile and reply.
He often felt out of place with these G-5 Headquarters soldiers because he felt he was "not perverted enough." Killing pirates was indeed the duty of the Marines. However, torturing pirates who had been captured alive was cruel and disgusting to him.
But Frank also didn't dare to forbid it. He was only a major. His superior, Commodore Sephiroth, had never even commented on this. If he interfered, he would be ostracized. He came to the party only because he was invited by Yarisky. After drinking a few glasses, he planned to leave.
Frank still couldn't wrap his head around it. How could these unruly soldiers enjoy a feast while smelling the burning flesh of pirates? They ate oil cakes heartily as if nothing was happening.
BOOM!
The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed, and a strong wind howled, blowing sand from the ground.
"It looks like it's going to rain. I should go back," Frank muttered, looking up at the sky.
Suddenly, a dragon thousands of meters long poked its head from behind the clouds. With cold eyes, it stared at the G-5 Marine Headquarters below. A terrifying pressure emanated from the giant body. Just by looking at it, ordinary people already felt an extreme fear.
"Kaido the Beast!" Frank shouted, his eyes wide with terror.
The unruly soldiers who were partying also raised their heads and were stunned to see the dragon that suddenly appeared.
Gulp!
"This… it's Kaido… How can he be here?!"
"Run!"
"Right! This monster is not our opponent!"
If they were facing ordinary pirates, even famous ones, the G-5 soldiers would dare to fight. However, if the opponent was Kaido, the story was different. People on the level of a Yonko like Kaido and Whitebeard were natural disasters. Marine Headquarters itself forbade them from engaging in conflict without orders.
Frank stared at Yarisky and the others who were running in all directions. He took a Transponder Snail from his pocket and hurriedly contacted Sephiroth.
Vice Admiral Tokikake, who was sitting in his chair, saw the blue dragon in the sky through the window. Instantly, he turned pale. He pushed the blonde woman beside him, put on his pants, then walked to the window, staring blankly at Kaido's giant dragon body.
"What's going on?! Why did this monster Kaido come to G-5 Headquarters?!"
As Tokikake reached for the Transponder Snail on his desk to call for help from Marine Headquarters, Kaido in the sky opened his mouth.
Bolo Breath!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hundreds, thousands of sharp blue wind blasts shot out from Kaido's mouth and attacked G-5 Headquarters mercilessly. The buildings were torn to pieces in an instant. The defensive cannons didn't even have time to fire, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Vice Admiral Tokikake and the woman beside him were buried under the rubble.
With just one attack, Kaido destroyed the entire Marine headquarters, showing a combat power equivalent to a natural disaster.
