Kaido was enraged.
A murderous intent surged from deep within him, making him fiercely desire to tear the man before him to pieces!
Dark clouds loomed overhead!
The raging waves pushed the ships to both sides, forming a massive whirlpool on the sea.
In the sky, Jon expressionlessly beckoned Kaido with his finger, "Want to kill me? You can try."
Kaido paused, then laughed furiously.
A hot surge rose in his throat, and he spat it out!
'Buzz'
The dragon's breath, capable of destroying everything, shot towards Jon.
Everyone watching was horrified.
Whitebeard couldn't stay still and hastily raised his naginata.
But Jon was faster!
Raising his hand, he activated a trap card (scratch that)
He raised his hand and revealed a magic card—'Magic Cylinder'!
An invisible door instantly opened.
Kaido hadn't figured out what was happening yet when he was inexplicably hit by his own attack.
Boom!
Thick smoke billowed.
Taking the full brunt of the dragon's breath, even the tough and durable pirate couldn't help but roll his eyes and plummet straight towards the sea.
But it wasn't over yet.
After pulling this trick, Jon gritted his teeth and used the last bit of his strength to draw a teleportation portal.
Kaido's figure suddenly vanished.
A thousand meters away, the Navy fleet.
A dark shadow fell, landing squarely on Akainu's warship.
Jon nodded, speaking in a voice only he could hear, "Good luck, Navy big brothers."
Then, he deactivated his Buddha form and floated gently back to the Moby Dick.
Returning to the deck, Jon immediately lay flat.
I'm done, I don't have a single drop (of energy) left.
After a few seconds of silence.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous cheer!
"My God, you... you actually... really defeated Kaido!?"
"Incredible!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"Brother Jon, you're so powerful!"
Not long ago, this brother who drank and played games with them had transformed into a top-tier powerhouse on par with the 'strongest creature.'
Ace and Marco could hardly believe their eyes.
"Gurararara." Whitebeard laughed heartily, jumping down from the bow of the ship and quickly walking over to Jon, "Well done! You did great!"
"Old man, now's not the time for this." Jon licked his slightly dry lips, "Shouldn't we be leaving?"
Hearing this, Whitebeard laughed even louder, teasing, "Jon boy, you just fought and survived against a 'Yonkou,' how can you talk so timidly?"
The old man chose his words carefully.
Everyone knows that 'fought and survived' and 'defeated' are two entirely different things.
Jon tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Timid or not, that's just who I am."
'All tactics lead to escape.'
That's the Joestar family secret technique!
"Gurararara."
After another hearty laugh, Whitebeard waved his hand.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Dumb sons, we're heading back!"
The 'Whitebeard Pirates' burst into cheers.
A few hundred meters away, the 'Beast Pirates' were eerily silent.
The 'Calamities' wore grim expressions, the 'Flying Six' remained silent, and the numerous 'Headliners' didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Governor Kaido was actually defeated?
No, no, no, it wasn't a defeat, it was just falling into the enemy's trap out of carelessness.
But...
Recalling the golden Buddha's punch that broke the Azure Dragon's horn.
They didn't want to admit it, but they had to.
'Madman' Jon Joestar had already joined the ranks of the world's top powerhouses!
Queen touched his chubby face, turning to the winged man beside him, "Hey, what do you think?"
King remained silent, flames quietly burning behind him.
Jack, the most hot-headed, cut in with bloodshot eyes, "What's there to think about!? We are the 'Beast Pirates'!
To hell with Whitebeard, to hell with Jon Joestar! Get over there! I want to crush those guys' heads!"
'Ship-Crushing King' lived up to his name.
Even if the opponent was a 'Yonkou,' even if the opponent had just broken Kaido's horn.
He wouldn't back down!
The 'Flying Six' exchanged glances.
Wisely choosing to remain silent.
At this moment, King spoke in a low voice, "Instead of thinking about such trivial matters, we need to confirm Lord Kaido's condition first."
"The Governor won't have any issues!" Jack gritted his teeth, "That person is the strongest!"
He stuck to his belief, growling, "We have trained for this moment! I'll take Whitebeard's head for Lord Kaido!"
They say young people shouldn't be impulsive.
But if not impulsive, are they still young?
The youngest (and rashest) of the 'Calamities,' Jack dreamed of helping Kaido achieve his ambitions.
Just Whitebeard.
He could kill him with ease!
King looked at Jack calmly, his tone indifferent, "With the Governor absent, I'm in charge."
A mountain-like pressure descended, and Jack's eyes instantly cleared. He shrank his neck, lowering his head slightly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Sorry, big brother King... I was just impatient... Don't worry, I won't act rashly."
From violent mammoth (×)
To obedient elephant baby (√)
King retracted his gaze, saying lightly, "The Governor was ambushed, and the plan to attack Whitebeard failed.
The urgent task now is to minimize losses."
At this point, he drew his sword and pointed it towards the distant Navy fleet.
"Let's go, we need to retrieve Lord Kaido."
With the second-in-command's orders, the 'Beast Pirates' naturally followed.
But before they could set off, Kaido, surrounded by the three Admirals, flew back on his own!
If 'hatred' could be visualized, Kaido's hatred for Jon had already reached its peak.
On the Moby Dick, Jon suddenly shivered.
He sat up abruptly, just in time to see the enraged Kaido.
He paused for a few seconds, recalling a phrase.
"You must first attack the minion with taunt."
Rather endure bombardment from the three Admirals and be slashed by Whitebeard than fly over to kill me?
Yes, from the look in his eyes, he clearly wants to die.
Jon didn't want to sit and wait for death, so he quickly stood up.
Unexpectedly, deep within his soul, his Stand cocoon suddenly trembled.
[Pulsing!]
Jon was astonished, whispering, "What's this?"
[Pulsing~]
A surge of vitality flowed into his body, instantly sweeping away his fatigue.
Jon's lips curved into a smile, "You're devious, but I like it."
[Pulsing(=ω｀=)]
"So, I won't hold back?"
[Pulsing(]
No need for more words.
Little D, forever a god!
Jon clenched his fists, scales subtly appearing at the corners of his eyes.
Noticing the danger, Whitebeard raised his naginata, his attitude firm, "Jon boy, leave this to me!"
Surprisingly, Jon gently shook his head.
"After a bit of rest, I feel like I can do it again."
Whitebeard: ???
Jon didn't explain, opening his mouth to reveal sharp teeth.
A hot breath surged from deep in his throat!
If I stole from Sengoku, I must also steal from Kaido.
That's the only way to be "balanced"!
It's confirmed that it will launch on the first of next month.
