In the latter half of the New World lies Wano Country, a land of unpredictable and harsh weather.

Here stands a fortress that strikes fear into the hearts of all— "Onigashima."

The sky is churned with oppressive, heavy black clouds, thick and indelible like spilled ink.

Fierce winds whip up cold, biting snow, raging mercilessly across the island, which resembles a giant demonic skull.

Inside Onigashima, in that spacious and gloomy hall.

The dancing braziers cast dim red light, stretching the shadows around into clawing, jagged shapes.

Kaido, the "of the Beasts" who resembles an ancient demon god, sits cross-legged on the wide main seat.

He holds a giant sake gourd, tilting his head back and guzzling the liquor wildly.

The spicy, pungent alcohol flows down his rugged beard, soaking his chest, which is as solid as iron.

Because of the downfall of the Underworld's greatest broker, "Doffy" Donquixote Doflamingo, and the destruction of the SMILE underground factory.

His grand dream, plotted for many years, of establishing a "full Zoan Devil Fruit user army" to launch a world-class war, was declared shattered at this moment.

This heavy blow has made Kaido's mood volatile of late, like an active volcano ready to erupt with destructive power at any moment.

The bloodthirsty and bellicose underlings of the Beasts Pirates all around are holding their breath at this moment.

Everyone is praying that they do not make the slightest sound.

They are terrified that even a slightly louder breath would draw the attention of this peerless tyrant, causing them to be ruthlessly smashed into meat paste by that club.

Just in this suffocating atmosphere, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

The All-Star "Plague" Queen hurried in.

In his hand, he tightly gripped a stack of the latest newspapers just delivered by a News Coo and brand-new bounty posters.

The usually arrogant and imperious Queen, who loves to sing and dance in front of his subordinates, now has his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of anxiety.

"Ka-Kaido-aniki! Something big has happened!"

"The latest shocking intelligence has come from Totto Land!"

Queen, unable to care about wiping the sweat from his forehead, ran quickly to the bottom of the steps and reported urgently to Kaido, who was still guzzling sake.

He loudly announced the news that the Big Mom Pirates' main fleet had mobilized in full force and had issued a top-level kill order against the Straw Hat Pirates.

Speaking of this, Queen swallowed hard, his voice uncontrollably tinged with a tremor of fear:

"The intelligence says that right on the battlefield of Dressrosa..."

"Charlotte Linlin's perfect eldest son, the one known for never having tasted defeat, the sweet commander Charlotte Katakuri, was killed on the spot by Straw Hat Luffy!"

Hearing this news, Kaido's wild drinking motion stopped abruptly.

The giant sake gourd held high in mid-air froze as if struck by a paralysis spell.

In his eyes, as huge as copper bells, a rare flash of astonishment and shock appeared.

After a brief, dead silence, a low rumble suddenly issued from Kaido's throat, and his chest heaved violently.

Then, this rumble turned into an arrogant laugh:

"Wororororo!"

"That Katakuri, actually cut down by a brat who hasn't been out at sea for more than a few years?!"

"This is simply the biggest joke in the whole world!"

"That old hag Linlin must be absolutely furious hearing this news now! Wororororo!"

Kaido's laughter shook dust from the hall, causing it to fall in flurries. However, this mocking laughter stopped abruptly the next second.

Replacing it was a terrifying rage that would destroy everything.

With a deafening "bang," Kaido violently smashed the giant sake gourd in his hand against the ground, splashing wine and shards everywhere.

He stood up abruptly, his massive body like an insurmountable mountain.

He grabbed his giant kanabo "Hassaikai" leaning nearby and slammed it hard onto the hard floor tiles.

Boom—!

A tangible, dark red Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, accompanied by black lightning, sweeping mercilessly in all directions with Kaido as the center.

The hard earth cracked inch by inch under the shock of this Haki, spreading abyss-like fissures as dense as a spider web.

The surrounding underlings didn't even have time to scream before their eyes rolled back from the pressure of this king's majesty.

They fainted one after another, foaming at the mouth, falling all over the floor.

"What kind of joke is that madwoman Linlin playing!"

Kaido's eyes were blood-red, like an enraged ancient beast.

"That meddlesome bastard Straw Hat destroyed my SMILE Devil Fruit trade and ruined my army!"

"That is a bug I must crush with my own hands!"

He lifted the heavy Hassaikai with one hand and pointed it at the rolling snowstorm outside the hall:

"Pass on my order! No one is allowed to interfere in this matter!"

"The heads of the Straw Hat... are my prey!"

"If Linlin dares to bring people to Wano Country to snatch them from me, I'll kill her too!"

Arriving at the other end of the New World—Totto Land.

At this moment, Cake Island is also shrouded in a terrifying thundercloud that seems capable of crushing the world.

The originally colorful, fairy-tale-like buildings appear eerie and terrifying under the cover of dark clouds.

Thunder and lightning flash in the sky, and the deafening thunder seems to signal the Queen's fury, plunging the entire nation into chilling terror.

Inside the magnificent and spacious throne hall, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Several pirates, soaked to the bone and terrified, were kneeling on the soft carpet, weeping wretchedly in a disheveled state.

They were the only survivors who had luckily drifted back through the giant waves from that massive pursuit fleet that Mama had confidently dispatched not long ago.

These surviving pirates trembled violently, as if they had just crawled out of the eighteenth level of hell.

They sobbed and told the high-and-mighty Mama about the catastrophic disaster they had encountered:

"Mama... it's all over!"

"That wasn't just some ordinary naval engagement; it was a group of Sea Kings that we couldn't resist at all!"

"Our fleet was instantly swallowed by those monsters as huge as mountain ranges."

"Lord Oven and Lord Daifuku... they fell into the sea and, along with the sturdy warships, were swallowed alive by those deep-sea monsters!"

Upon learning that the massive fleet she dispatched had been completely wiped out.

And that two of her powerful and immensely important sons had actually died tragically in the sea once again.

Charlotte Linlin's massive body on the throne shook violently.

Her eyes instantly bulged, bloodshot with terrifying red veins.

A suffocating black resentment erupted from within her, and a tangible darkness permeated every corner of the hall, making people unable to catch their breath.

Although according to the survivors' report, the fleet was destroyed by the rampaging Sea Kings in the deep sea.

But Mama, trapped in madness and rage, naturally counted this blood debt against the fleeing Straw Hat.

If it weren't for chasing them, how would her sons have ended up in the bellies of fish!

"LIFE OR DEAD?!"

Accompanying Mama's hoarse and soul-shattering terrifying incantation.

All the officers and soldiers in the hall were so scared that their legs went weak, and they collapsed directly onto the cold ground, not daring to even breathe.

Those few surviving pirates who had returned in defeat and were already shaken, faced with this soul-piercing interrogation, didn't even have time to say a word of plea.

They discovered in horror that their life force was being violently torn away by an invisible, immense force.

Large swaths of white soul matter were forcibly extracted from their mouths and noses, drifting into the air.

In just a brief moment, these pirates were stripped of all their lifespan by Mama's fury.

They turned into shriveled, withered corpses on the ground, their hollow eyes telling of the endless fear before death.

After swallowing these souls, Mama was surrounded by black energy, like a man-eating demon crawling out from the deepest part of hell.

In the sky, the thundercloud Zeus, sensing its master's fury, turned pitch black and frantically struck down dazzling bolts of lightning as thick as barrels.

The sun Prometheus swelled in the wind, igniting raging flames that seemed to burn everything, illuminating the entire hall in a fiery red.

Mama tilted her massive, vein-covered face, opened her bloody maw, and let out an angry roar:

"Straw Hat!!"

"I swear, I will personally skin you alive!!!"

Immediately after, she lowered her head abruptly, her crimson eyes staring viciously at the many children and officers trembling below:

"What are you all standing there for! Prepare the largest ships for me!"

"I am going to sea myself to pluck the heads off those brats!"
