Chapter 287: Kaido Ulting to the Face? Golden Lion Laughs Maniacally: "Yes! Don't Stop! Don't Wimp Out!"
However, just as everyone had taken their first steps, a sudden mutation occurred!
Whoosh—!
The sky, which had been clear for thousands of miles, suddenly darkened!
It wasn't covered by dark clouds. Rather, it was a heart-palpitating... purple!
Heavy layers of clouds gathered madly in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye! Rotating! Pressing down! As if an invisible giant hand was frantically stirring the entire sky!
CRACK!!!
A bolt of purple-black lightning struck down without warning! It blasted a water column hundreds of meters high from the distant sea surface!
A gale rose abruptly!
In this wind, there was no salty smell of seawater. Only a... dense, extreme smell of blood! And a terrifying oppression that was violent, domineering, and seemed to want to trample everything underfoot!
"This feeling..."
Whitebeard stopped walking, his brows furrowed tightly into a knot. He looked up at the sky that resembled the end of the world.
"It seems..."
"Another fool who doesn't believe in heresy has arrived."
Red-Haired Shanks also narrowed his eyes, holding down his straw hat with one hand to prevent it from being blown away by the gale. A trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"This aura..."
"No mistake."
"It's that 'Strongest Creature in the World'..."
"Who was kicked into the sea by Shiki!"
ROAR—!!!
Accompanied by a dragon roar that resonated through heaven and earth!
The clouds exploded!
A cyan dragon, winding for thousands of meters and wrapped in purple-black lightning, poked its hideous and terrifying head out of the clouds!
In those giant dragon eyes, there was extreme rage after being humiliated!
"GOLDEN! LION!!!"
"GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE AND DIE!!!"
The deafening roar turned into visible rings of white airwaves, smashing down fiercely from high altitude!
Rumble—!!!
The entire sea surface was trembling. The waters around Foosha Village boiled instantly! Countless water columns shot into the sky, appearing to erect walls on the sea.
At that moment, the oppressive force of the World's Strongest Creature was unleashed without reservation!
On the desert island, the faces of the pirates who were originally eating melons and watching the show turned pale instantly.
"Kai... Kaido?!"
"It's Hyakuju Kaido!!!"
"Damn it! Why is this lunatic here too?!"
"We're done for! All Four Emperors gathered together? Is this going to sink the East Blue?!"
Fear!
It spread through the crowd like a plague. A person's name is like a tree's shadow. The title of "Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air" was piled up with the corpses of countless strong men!
Not to mention, this mad dragon was obviously in a state of extreme rage!
"Wororororo!!!"
In the sky, Kaido's signature weird laughter resounded through the clouds. Carrying a bit of drunkenness, a bit of madness, and an arrogance that regarded everything as nothing!
"Shiki!"
"You bastard dared to sneak attack me."
"What? Ran here to find helpers now?!"
Kaido's massive dragon body coiled in the clouds. The friction of his scales made a tooth-aching sound of clashing metal.
His gaze swept arrogantly over the people below.
Whitebeard... Red-Hair... Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates... And that swarm of Marines and pirates that looked like ants.
"Hmm?!"
Kaido's originally drunken eyes suddenly focused slightly. Immediately after, an even more violent killing intent exploded from his body!
"Newgate?!"
"Red-Haired brat?!"
"Wororororo!"
"Good! Very good!!!"
"Since you are all here..."
"It saves me the trouble of finding you one by one!!!"
Kaido opened his bloody maw. Terrifying heat began to gather frantically deep in his throat! The surrounding air was instantly burned red! Purple-black lightning danced wildly at the corners of his mouth!
"Today..."
"I will blast this broken island..."
"Along with you trash of the old era..."
"Into slag!!!"
Madman!
This was a thorough madman!
He didn't need any reason. Nor did he need any nonsense. He would ult right in your face upon meeting!
This was the style of Hyakuju Kaido!
"Not good!!!"
Yasopp of the Red Hair Pirates turned pale and subconsciously raised the sniper rifle in his hand.
"That guy is going to use 'Bolo Breath'!"
"An attack of that scale..."
"Will flatten the entire island!!!"
Lucky Roux let out a strange cry, dropping the meat on the bone from his mouth. Although he was as fat as a ball, he displayed amazing speed completely inconsistent with his body type!
Not just him. Everyone present felt the threat of death at this moment!
That scorching heatwave, even separated by thousands of meters of high altitude, had already caused the vegetation on the desert island to wither and spontaneously combust!
The air was filled with a suffocating smell of sulfur!
"Gurararara..."
"This mad dragon seems to have completely lost his mind."
Whitebeard Edward Newgate slammed the Murakumogiri horizontally. The muscles on his arms knotted. A transparent white halo instantly formed on his blade!
"Although I don't want to waste energy in a place like this, I can't just watch him destroy everything here."
Whitebeard's eyes turned slightly cold. Although he also wanted to see how Blake would handle it, Kaido's attack range was too large!
Once it landed, not only them, but even Foosha Village in the distance would likely be affected!
That tavern owner might be fine, but the ordinary people in the village would definitely be dead!
"Get ready to act, Beckman."
Red-Haired Shanks also sighed helplessly. One hand rested on the hilt of his sword. Terrifying Conqueror's Haki began to coil and rise around him!
Facing the Strongest Creature in a state of rage, even the Four Emperors dared not be careless in the slightest!
However, just as everyone tensed their nerves and prepared to withstand this blow, there was one person who seemed out of place.
Golden Lion Shiki.
This legend of the old era, who was just preaching the "frog in the well" theory, actually retracted all his aura.
He just crossed his arms and floated in mid-air.
The expression on his face was no longer anger. Nor was it the fanatical missionary look from before.
Instead, it was a... deeply eerie, expectant, and even somewhat benevolent smile!
Like an old father watching his foolish son touch a power outlet for the first time!
That look was full of encouragement! Full of relief! It even carried a trace of... schadenfreude!
"Yes..."
"That's it..."
"Spit it out..."
"Spit that fire out for me!!"
Shiki stared fixedly at the hideous dragon head in the sky. Watching the blinding firelight gathering in Kaido's throat, his heart trembled with excitement!
Too familiar! This scene was simply too damn familiar!
Just a few days ago, he, Golden Lion Shiki, was just as insufferably arrogant! Just as convinced he was invincible under heaven! Just as eager... to use his power to teach that seemingly ordinary tavern a lesson!
The self at that time must have felt just like Kaido does now, right? Feeling incredibly cool? Feeling majestic, like a demon god descending to the world?
"Jihahahaha!"
"Kaido, oh Kaido!"
"You absolutely must not wimp out!"
"Absolutely don't hold that fire back at this moment!"
Shiki screamed frantically in his heart, wishing he could rush up and cheer Kaido on!
Finally, a blockhead even more stubborn than him had arrived!
