Two days later, on a vast and endless sea, an ordinary large sailing ship with the flag of the "Cross Family" was sailing slowly.
On the deck, the Kuja warriors surrounded Viola, the only outsider, and curiously asked about the New World and their Empress's master, wondering what kind of man he was.
Viola, who could read hearts, had long known that these girls were as innocent as children and was happy to chat with them to satisfy their curiosity.
The only two not involved were Hancock and Sandersonia.
While they waited for their prey to come, Hancock took out her Den Den Mushi and was talking on the phone with Kahn.
Hancock, who can sense electric fields and radio waves, was not afraid that her conversation with Kahn would be overheard by a special kind of wiretapping Den Den Mushi.
"Master, I have already sensed them. Wait at home for me to bring back the fruits of victory."
At this moment, Hancock seemed to sense something. The beautiful smile on her face that could fascinate countless men suddenly subsided, taking on a beautiful coldness and confidence.
"I am looking forward to your performance; come on."
Hancock didn't know that Kahn, who cheered her up, had already quietly acted.
As a time traveller, Kahn knew that Kaido was a true pirate. He is greedy, insidious, cunning, moody, and very shrewd and resourceful.
In the past era, when Shiki, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin were all cadres of the Rocks Pirates, Kaido was just an intern.
In that era, when these big shots were the overlords of the New World, he was just a bit better than Douglas Bullet, who had left the Roger Pirates.
If Big Mom hadn't given him the Mythical Zoan, Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, even with his monster-like physique, he wouldn't have become one of the three New World monsters at his age.
Even as one of the three monsters, Kaido's current strength is still not a match for Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin.
The top cadres he can handle now are only King and Queen, the captains of the affiliated pirate groups. None of them are on par with Whitebeard's or Big Mom's crew.
Not to mention the strength of his troops. If he dared to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates or Big Mom Pirates, his Beasts Pirates would be easily defeated.
Because of his limited number of troops, Kaido cherishes them very much.
When targeting Kahn, he didn't even dare to directly go to war with the "Cross Family," who owned Amazon Lily.
Only after killing either Kahn or Hancock would Kaido dare to go all out and occupy the fabled Amazon Lily.
Once Hancock is killed and he joins hands with King and Queen, no matter how strong Kahn is, he would surely die if he hasn't reached his peak yet.
Therefore, when Kahn received a call from Hancock and learned from her what Viola had seen, he was very sure that Kaido would never send King and Queen alone.
He would definitely follow them secretly, looking for an opportunity to ambush Hancock.
Once he finds the opportunity, Kaido will kill Hancock directly, regardless of the consequences.
Therefore, Kahn did what he could and asked Hancock and Sandersonia to change ships, waiting for King and Queen to arrive.
He also quietly left Amazon Lily, using a life card to come to Hancock's location, just outside her perception range, but Kahn was able to sense Hancock's area.
When Hancock hung up the phone, put down the Den Den Mushi, gave Sandersonia an instruction, and then released her electric field, turning into a bolt of lightning and disappearing.
Sandersonia also turned into a huge bat. While releasing her unique perception, she followed her sister at an extremely fast speed to snipe King and Queen.
After the two women left his range of perception, Kahn dialled the phone again and asked Viola, who answered, to use her eye abilities to find Kaido's location.
Viola, who hadn't used clairvoyance to monitor Onigashima today, looked at the island again, and her expression suddenly changed.
She couldn't find Kaido on Onigashima. Even in Wanokuni, next to Onigashima, Kaido was nowhere to be found.
Kaido seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Even with her farsightedness and clairvoyance, Viola couldn't find Kaido within a 4,000-kilometer radius.
Hearing this, Kahn asked Viola to look up at the sky.
Increasing her physical energy consumption and intensifying her vision, Viola looked up.
After a while, she saw something terrifying and said in a trembling tone, "Kahn, there's a huge green dragon in the White Sea."
"Thank you, Viola."
Sensing Viola's trembling, Kahn comforted her with a smile before hanging up the phone, "Don't be afraid and don't panic. You'll all be fine.
"If you're still scared, turn around and look behind you."
Subconsciously, Viola turned around to look.
Soon, her clairvoyance spotted a familiar blue dragon soaring into the sky on the distant sea.
Seeing this, Viola's fear of Kaido's dragon form dissipated instantly.
Kahn had anticipated this situation and wasn't on Amazon Lily at all but had come to their rear, silently protecting them.
So reliable!
At this moment, Viola felt a strong sense of security, and her affection for Kahn grew even stronger.
After finding Kaido's location, Kahn transformed fully and headed to the White Sea at an altitude of 10,000 meters, preparing to confront the strongest creature in the world.
Kahn wanted to let Kaido know that his greed would come with a price.
Since Kaido believed he had fully grasped the "Cross Family's" situation, thinking only Kahn and Hancock were worthy of fear while underestimating the rest, he was overconfident.
Kaido thought his Beasts Pirates, with him, King, and Queen, were powerful enough that even if they lost, they could simply concede some benefits and still come out ahead. If they won, they'd gain a significant advantage, potentially taking over the entire "Cross Family."
Then Kahn would cut off one of Kaido's hands or even both.
If Kaido lost any of his 'arms,' his Beasts Pirates, originally more powerful than the "Cross Family," would shrink to their level.
If both of his arms were broken, his chances of catching up with the other two monsters would be severely diminished, potentially taking years or even becoming impossible.
Kahn was confident he could cut off Kaido's 'arm.'
And the source of his confidence wasn't Hancock but Sandersonia's concept-level force area, which was even more formidable than the rules.
