The Flower Capital
After a day and night of lively festivities during the Fire Festival, the celebration had finally come to an end.
Luffy, Kid, Law, and the others were all packed and ready to depart from Wano Country.
"Luffy-dono! Please come back to Wano again! We'll miss you!"
Kin'emon and his entourage crowded around Luffy, shouting loudly with reluctance.
"Luffy! I wont join your crew right now, Wano still need Kozuki Oden so i'm gonna stay here for a while!"
Yamato, as usual, wore a loose-fitting samurai outfit tied at the waist with a coarse rope, completely unbothered by the fact that a generous portion of her ample bosom was exposed.
She bounced over to Luffy, her sizable assets jiggling with each step.
"Pfft! Soooooo damn sexy!" Sanji and Brook both had nosebleeds as they gave a thumbs-up.
"No Problem Yamato, you can join us anytime! just call us when you need us and we'll be there!" Luffy now smothered in Yamato embrace, his face buried in her deep cleavage and he was struggling for air.
Meanwhile, the new ruler of Wano, the dashing and long-haired Momonosuke, wore a lecherous grin as he threw himself into Nami arms.
"Namiiiii~ Stay a few more days, won't you? I'll miss you." Momonosuke whined, rubbing his face against Nami chest.
Nami froze for a moment, her exaggeratedly proportioned curves visibly contorting under Momonosuke pressure, their elasticity creating a mesmerizing, undulating effect.
"GET LOST!" Nami angrily punched Momonosuke, sending him flying.
"Ow! Namiiiii~ I'm only eight, you know. Though it doesn't hurt at all." Momonosuke picked himself up off the ground, touching his warm cheek before breaking into another perverted smirk.
"YOU PERVERTED BRAT!"
Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon, their faces dark with rage, quietly surrounded Momonosuke.
"W-what are you doing? I... I'm only eight, you know!" Momonosuke stammered in panic.
Crack crack crack.
Sanji cracked his knuckles, grinning coldly.
"Brat, acting spoiled isn't a privilege for adults!"
Thud thud thud!
The three of them proceeded to pummel Momonosuke mercilessly.
"What are you doing?! Stop it! Momonosuke is the ruler of Wano!" Carrot, with her long rabbit ears, rushed over to intervene.
Momonosuke eyes lit up and he immediately burst into fake tears, throwing himself into Carrot arms and burying his face in her chest.
"YOU DAMN BRATTT!" Sanji and Kin'emon fumed, veins popping on their foreheads.
"What's that? A storm cloud?" Killer, standing beside Kid, suddenly looked up at the distant sky.
Kid paused and followed his gaze.
Far in the sky, a massive shadow was rapidly approaching.
Everyone present was a skilled fighter and soon, all eyes were drawn to the enormous silhouette.
"What is that?" Luffy shielded his eyes with his hand, squinting for a better look.
"AHHH!!"
Usopp, who had been looking through a telescope, suddenly screamed, stumbling back and falling onto his rear.
His trembling finger pointed at the sky.
"What is it, Usopp? What did you see?" Chopper ran over curiously, picking up the dropped telescope.
The moment he looked through it, his body stiffened in shock.
"Whoa! That's a huge bird!" exclaimed Chopper, his voice filled with awe.
The enormous shadow moved at an astonishing speed.
Moments later, the terrifyingly large bird loomed over the skies of the Flower Capital, blotting out the sun like an immense warship or a floating sky island.
Excitement sparkled in Luffy eyes as he raised his fist, eager for action.
"That's a huge bird! Guys, I smell adventure—let's take it down!" he cheered.
The others were speechless.
"Luffy! Snap out of it! That bird is bigger than the entire Flower Capital! If you bring it down, the city will be destroyed in an instant!" Nami punched Luffy on the head, leaving a massive bump.
"N-no! Guys... this is bad, really bad!" Usopp terrified voice rang out again, drawing everyone attention.
He was trembling uncontrollably, clutching Chopper tightly as they both stared fearfully at the sky.
Sanji frowned and kicked Usopp lightly. "What's wrong, Usopp? Chopper? What did you see that scared you so much?" He bent down to pick up a telescope.
At that moment, Yamato, standing beside Luffy suddenly stiffened.
Her face turned deathly pale, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked up.
The colossal bird hovered ominously above them and tiny figures gradually appeared along the edges of its wings, seemingly observing the group below.
Usopp stammered as if struck by a stroke.
"K-K-Kaido!!"
"What?!"
The crowd below erupted into chaos, panic spreading like wildfire at Usopp words.
Clatter.
Sanji telescope slipped from his fingers and shattered on the ground. The cigarette dangling from his lips fell unnoticed.
Horror! Disbelief!
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the overwhelming figures of Kaido and Big Mom standing atop the giant bird, their oppressive presence suffocating.
An unbearable tension gripped the group.
Momonosuke was the most affected, letting out a terrified scream as he collapsed onto the ground.
"Woroorororo! Straw Hat Luffy! Long time no see!"
"Mamamama! Kid, and Law too—looks like you've fully recovered from your injuries. Let's have a rematch!"
Kaido and Big Mom leaped down from the bird.
Kaido transformed into his Azure Dragon form, while Big Mom rode on a cloud of flames!
Their monstrous auras erupted like a storm, sending shockwaves through the air.
"Kaido! Big Mom!" Luffy eyes widened in shock.
"This is bad! How are they completely unharmed? What happened? Did the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates come back to life?!" Kid lost his composure, staring at Kaido and Big Mom in disbelief.
"Screeeech!"
The golden bird suddenly let out a deafening cry, its sonic waves tearing through the air and whipping up a hurricane over the Flower Capital.
The bird opened its massive beak—and spoke!
"You're wrong, brats! They are now subordinates of my Beast God Pirates! Dragon God Kaido and Soul God Charlotte Linlin!"
The bird's voice boomed like rolling thunder, shaking the very ground beneath them.
"What?!"
The revelation struck like a depth charge, leaving everyone below dizzy and reeling.
"The Beast God Pirates? Never heard of 'em! If you wanna fight, bring it on! You lost once already, and you'll lose again!" Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The Beast God Pirates?" Yamato expression changed drastically, as if realizing something terrible.
"This is bad, Luffy! We need to run!"
"Remember this name—Caesar, Captain of the Beast God Pirates, the Beast God!"
"Kaido! Big Mom! Unleash hell and give it everything you've got!"
Caesar spread his massive avian beak and unleashed a towering frost pillar stretching thousands of meters into the sky!
Kaido and Big Mom roared in unison.
"AYE!"
The azure dragon opened his maw and spewed forth a torrent of crimson flames!
"Boro Breath!"
Big Mom snatched off her hat, transforming it into a colossal blade wreathed in endless fire and brought it crashing down!
"Ikoku Sovereignty!"
