Pollock Island, Hallsta City.
In the living room of a white villa, the five people, including Sephiroth, finished their dinner, sat on the sofa, and watched a comedy movie playing on a Video Snail.
Bulu~! Bulu~! Bulu!
Sephiroth saw the military Transponder Snail he had placed on the table suddenly ring, and he immediately picked up the microphone. Before he could ask what was happening, Frank on the other end of the phone spoke in a very anxious tone:
"Commodore Sephiroth, something bad is happening! Kaido is launching a blind attack on the G-5 Headquarters!"
Hearing this, Sephiroth suddenly had a premonition. He never expected that Kaido would arrive so quickly. Wano Country was thousands of kilometers away from Pollock Island. He had originally thought that even if Kaido learned of Quinn's death, he would need to prepare for several days. By that time, he might have already negotiated with Marine Headquarters to set up a major war.
"Indeed, a plan can't keep up with changes!" Sephiroth sighed silently to himself before replying, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
Immediately, he hung up the Transponder Snail, rose from the sofa, and casually took the two long swords leaning against the armrest.
"Sephiroth, do you need my help?" Perona, with a teddy bear in her arms, looked up at the young man.
Sephiroth shook his head almost without thinking, and declined the girl's offer. "No, it's not a fight you can get involved in…"
After that, he thought about what Frank had said, that Kaido was launching a blind attack. He was afraid that when Kaido went crazy, he might include Hallsta City in the scope of his attack, which could affect the four girls. With this in mind, instead of going directly to the G-5 Marine Headquarters, Sephiroth opened the iron cage in the corner of the living room and released the bloody bat from it.
Squeak-squeak.
A large group of black bats separated from Sephiroth's body, and he spent most of his spare life force to create a Bat Clone whose appearance, clothing, and even aura were no different from his own. He also took a replica sword and Ming Yan from his Portable Space and gave them to the Bat Clone.
Without factoring in the difference in weapon quality, in terms of combat effectiveness, this clone was basically the same as his main body's combat effectiveness for a short period, with the exception that it could not be wrapped in Haoshoku Haki.
Sephiroth sensed the bloody bat he had left at the G-5 Headquarters. Although under Kaido's attack, the bloody bat was torn in two by a wind blade, the blood on its body had not completely dried and become inactive, and Sephiroth could still roughly sense its position.
Swoosh!
The sword he hadn't strapped to his waist was instantly unsheathed, cutting through the void, opening a Dimension-Space Door, and he walked straight through. After doing all this, Sephiroth then turned to look at Perona and the others.
"It's not very safe here, I'll take you to a safe place."
Hearing this, the girls didn't make a fuss, and they all obediently agreed. After confirming that the Bat Clone had arrived at the G-5 Headquarters, he closed the previous Dimension-Space Door and reopened one that led to the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
Kingdom of Dressrosa, Royal Capital.
On the top floor of the luxurious hotel named "Red Rose," a Dimension-Space Door suddenly opened, and the five people, including Sephiroth, walked out.
"This hotel is the property of the Umbrella Company in Dressrosa, so you should rest here for a while!"
Sephiroth contacted the hotel manager using a Transponder Snail and told him he was staying here temporarily tonight. After letting him arrange the services, he opened the glass door in the living room and walked out to the balcony.
Wow!
He spread his black wings on his back, then jumped into the night sky and quickly disappeared into a multicolored glow.
In the afternoon, when Sephiroth returned to the battleship from the empty island, he had consumed a lot of energy. Then, he sent the battleship back to Pollock Island, and spent a lot of spare life force to create the Bat Clone. Now, he was almost out of energy, so he had to find some livestock to replenish it.
After a while, his figure landed at a ranch under the Umbrella Company, and he began to frantically absorb the vitality of the cows, sheep, and other livestock.
Pollock Island, G-5 Marine Headquarters.
Kaido in the sky, after destroying the entire military base with hundreds or thousands of wind blades, activated his Kenbunshoku Haki to search for a relatively strong man.
"Hmm!?"
With his Kenbunshoku Haki in a highly sensitive state, Kaido heard the content of Frank's conversation, who was hiding on the beach, behind a large rock.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Looks like I didn't come in vain."
As he spoke, Kaido's figure swooped down towards Frank, and as he approached the ground, he regained his human form.
"Hey! You were just talking to a man named Sephiroth, weren't you?" Kaido stared at the Major officer in his white 'Justice' coat.
Gulp!
Frank swallowed with difficulty, his figure stepping back. Now, he had no other heavy firearms at all, except for a pistol. What could a pistol do against a top-tier fighter in this sea?
"I said, you were just calling Sephiroth, weren't you!?" Kaido's tone gradually soured, and his hand touched the club on his waist.
Seeing this, Frank could only grit his teeth and touch the pistol clipped to his waist. An unexplainable surge of violence exploded in his heart. Even if he was destined to die here today, he had to make the other party bleed!
Right at this moment.
"Kaido! I'm here!"
In the middle of the Marine base ruins, a Dimension-Space Door suddenly opened, and Sephiroth, armed with two swords and wearing a black suit, stepped out.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Hearing this, Kaido immediately turned his head and stared at the silver-haired young man standing among the ruins. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and his eyes showed killing intent.
"You're the one who killed my man, Quinn, aren't you!"
Sephiroth nodded slightly: "That's right! It was me! If you want to avenge Quinn, just come forward!"
"You're asking to die!"
The next moment, Kaido roared, holding his club and rushing forward, appearing in front of Sephiroth in an instant.
"Thunder Bagua!"
