"Unrivaled?"
When this voice echoed through the air, the people of Wanokuni were momentarily stunned.
Yes...
It seems that the "god" is still in the Flower Capital...
As the dust and smoke slowly dispersed, Momonosuke, now a young man, stood in shock.
Kin'emon had told him that all he had to do was bluff, and then the people would welcome him back with joy.
But...
"Your Excellency Dylan!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki stepped out of the smoke with a grim face and looked at Dylan: "This is Wanokuni after all, and the Kozuki family has ruled here for thousands of years..."
"Sukiyaki," Dylan looked at him with a half-smile, "I thought you would become smarter after more than a year in G5, but you're still filled with that disgusting stench."
"You..."
Kozuki Sukiyaki straightened his posture and looked at the crowd around him: "This is Kozuki Oden's father, the former shogun - Kozuki Sukiyaki! People of Wanokuni! Your 'rightful' shogun is back!"
The people in the Flower Capital looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
Many had witnessed the war firsthand, though they couldn't confirm if the man in black was truly the "God."
But... Judging from others' reactions...
"Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you, Kaido... I didn't kill him!"
"What!!"
Everyone was shocked, some even knelt down and began to beg for mercy.
"Kaido-sama... I'm so glad you're safe..."
Behind Dylan, the Marines dispersed their formation, and Kaido, his abdomen still bleeding, let out a weird laugh: "Wororororo! What a disgusting place."
Dylan laughed: "It's disgusting, yet you've been protecting them for over 20 years."
"Asshole!!!"
A loud shout rang out, and a woman wielding a mace jumped out of the dust and smoke.
"Momo is the shogun of Wanokuni, you bastard, what do you want to do!?"
Dylan's eyes turned cold.
Fuga, the barbarian standing behind Yamato, shivered all over.
Hiss!
Snap!
Dylan dodged over to Yamato and slapped her across the face.
Yamato, who had transformed into a beast, was sent flying by Dylan's slap.
Pfft!
Before Yamato could hit the ground, Dylan reappeared next to her, grabbing her horn and throwing her toward Kaido.
Boom!
Dylan threw Yamato in front of Kaido, creating a large crater.
"What does this mean to you?"
Dylan pulled out Shura and put it around her neck.
The terrifying aura from Shura instantly lifted Yamato's transformation suppression.
"..."
Kaido looked at Yamato, held at knifepoint by Dylan, with a confused expression.
Though he wasn't dead, his vitality was almost exhausted.
It wasn't the vitality of the "Mythical Zoan" supporting him; it was the man's ability that was draining him.
Shura slowly scratched Yamato's skin, no blood flowed out, and the area scratched by Shura began to wither rapidly.
"What does he mean to you?" The fear of death suddenly filled Yamato's heart.
"He... he is my father..."
"Then who are you?"
The wound that couldn't heal kept leaking life force. Shura seemed to relish this energy, and the black blade grew more and more sinister.
"I...I am Yamato!"
Isn't Yamato afraid of death? Of course she was. If she really had the bravery and fearlessness of Shiki, she would have found a way to blow up her arm and set out to sea long ago.
"You know he is your father? And you still yell at him all day long? Although this bastard deserves to die, you are the only one in this world who cannot kill him!"
"You said you were a man, and he made all the Beasts Pirates call you 'Master Yamato'."
"You say you are Kozuki Oden, and he makes you Wanokuni's 'shogun'."
"You go around destroying Onigashima, and he never hits you hard."
"Who gave you your food, drink, and shelter? Who gave you your life?"
"Oh, right."
Dylan leaned down and looked at Yamato:
"I saw your handcuffs four years ago. They are just seastone handcuffs. There is no bomb in them at all. Kaido had no intention of blowing you up. As long as you had the courage, you could break free at any time."
"You can't go out to sea because you don't have the courage to live or die. You...you really can afford the name of a waste like 'Kozuki Oden'!"
Yamato looked at Kaido in disbelief.
She thought of Queen's weird smile when he unlocked her handcuffs before coming to the Flower Capital.
It turns out...it turns out...
Kaido, who was leaning against the wall, laughed to himself and stopped looking at Yamato.
Yamato raised her head and looked at Dylan: "So what? He took away my freedom, my life."
"Stubborn! In that case..."
Dylan grabbed Yamato by the horns and threw her back to Momonosuke.
"Kaido can't stop your life and your choices now, come on! I've always regretted that I haven't found a way to go back to twenty years ago and chop Kozuki Oden alive with my own hands. Today..."
"I will first chop you, the fake, and Kozuki Oden's old father and then his son and daughter!"
Boundless killing intent emerged from Dylan's body, and Shura let out an excited cry.
The air became thicker as the killing intent spread.
Kozuki Sukiyaki swallowed, then tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and whispered: "What will Tama think if you do this?"
"Is this your purpose? Kozuki Sukiyaki? Do you think I don't know?"
"You want to use Tama to coerce me? You..."
"Are you worthy?"
Uh-huh!
Dylan appeared in front of Kozuki Sukiyaki, and after the next breath, he carried him back to the distance.
After looking back, Dylan used magnetism to pick up a piece of iron and hung Kozuki Sukiyaki on it.
"Shiryu!"
Dylan turned around, his eyes glowing red.
Shiryu trembled slightly when he saw the red light.
"Cut him, 1,000 knives, no more, no less, don't let him die before he's done!"
"Got it!"
Shiryu pulled out Raiu and walked to Kozuki Sukiyaki: "Enjoy it? Impel Down's most wonderful art."
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
The thin slices of meat landed on the ground, and Kozuki Sukiyaki roared in agony.
The "warriors" on the opposite side tightened their grips on their weapons.
Actually... really...
"Kaido...hahahahaha" Dylan turned his head and looked at Kaido by the wall: "It took you an hour to boil Oden, and it'll take me almost an hour to kill this whole family. Do you think they are more afraid of you or me?"
"Yamato...give her a good time!"
Looking at Kozuki Sukiyaki roaring like a beast under the Shiryu's blade, Kaido lowered his head.
"Alright, have her come over, kowtow to you, and call you daddy. Then I'll give her a quick death."
