"We're almost there."
Kuzan said in a low voice, his eyes watching the surroundings.
They quickened their pace, passed through a ruin, and finally saw the place where Kaido had fought Jin An before.
Kizaru's eyes became clear, he knew that the last threat might be hidden here.
"Everyone be careful."
Kizaru said in a low voice, his figure flashed, turning into a ray of light, and quickly appeared in front, ready to meet a possible battle.
Sentomaru gripped his giant axe, followed behind Kizaru, his eyes like torches, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
Kuzan calmly commanded the team, ensuring everyone was in the best condition.
"Was this the Beasts Pirates' research institute before? It really isn't simple."
Kizaru said in a low voice, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
They approached step by step, and the scene in front of them was constantly changing.
But the further they went, the more solemn their faces became.
The periphery was clearly still lush and green, but when they reached the interior, they only saw scattered dust and various broken walls and ruins lying across the "road".
The air was filled with a strong smell of dust, which was extremely depressing.
"The battle that happened here before was really tragic..."
Sentomaru looked around, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
He looked ahead and could even see severed limbs buried in the soil, which was shocking.
"All of this seems to have been caused by an explosion."
Kizaru responded, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness.
His eyes swept across the surrounding ruins, and his eyes became clearer.
Kuzan was stunned, and then suddenly remembered the earth-shattering earthquake before,
"Could it be caused by this explosion..."
They continued to move forward, the dust in the air gradually dissipated, and the surrounding scenery became clearer.
The ground was covered with deep cracks and huge potholes, as if torn apart by some powerful force.
Sentomaru walked in front, the giant axe made a low roar on the ground, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
"This kind of destructive power is not something ordinary people can do."
Kuzan said in a low voice, frowning, his heart full of doubts.
Kizaru nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes,
"But... where exactly did Jin An and the others go? I'm getting old and my body is a little weak."
They passed through a ruin and finally came to a huge pit.
This pit seemed to be the center of the explosion, the surrounding ground was shattered, and the surroundings were scorched earth, which was extremely desolate.
"The power of this explosion is simply unimaginable."
Sentomaru said in a low voice, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
Kuzan squatted down and carefully observed the edge of the pit.
His hand gently touched the gravel on the ground, feeling the residual energy.
"The time when this explosion occurred seems to be somewhat different from the time when Jin An transformed into a Azure Dragon and took off."
"It seems that Jin An was not affected by this explosion."
Suddenly, Kizaru frowned, he felt a strong energy fluctuation in the southeast direction.
Kaido has already left Wano Country, is there any tricky enemy on this island?
His eyes became sharp, as if he was thinking about something.
"I'll go to the southeast direction first, you can decide where to go next by yourselves."
Kizaru said to everyone, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
Sentomaru frowned and asked,
"Uncle, did you find something?"
Kizaru didn't speak, a golden light flashed in his eyes, turning into a light and disappearing in place instantly.
The light drew a dazzling arc in the air and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
Kuzan looked at the direction Kizaru left, and thought to himself,
"Something must be up, Kizaru must have discovered something."
He decided not to hesitate any longer and chased after the direction Kizaru left.
Sentomaru glanced at Kuzan in the sky and nodded slightly,
"Let's follow too and see what happened."
He picked up his giant axe and led everyone to quickly catch up with Kuzan's footsteps.
......
Wano Country, Onigashima.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning was like snakes swimming in the clouds.
Jin An and Captain John fought all the way from the main island to the Onigashima area.
The aftermath of their fight destroyed everything along the way, and the entire Onigashima seemed to be in a devastating storm.
Jin An's fist carried thunderous power and slammed into Captain John.
Captain John waved his knife to meet it, the blade and fist collided fiercely in the air, making a deafening sound.
The powerful shock wave swept around in an instant, destroying everything around it.
The pirates of Onigashima watched the battle between the two, not even daring to show their heads, for fear of being affected by the attacks of those two monsters.
They hid in the shadows of the ruins, their bodies trembling involuntarily, their hearts filled with fear and despair.
"Life is really hard, first Lord Kaido failed, and now these two monsters have come here to fight."
A pirate complained in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness and fear.
If possible, the pirates really wanted to rush out and shout, 'Stop fighting.'
Unfortunately, they can't afford to offend the two monsters outside, so they can only hide in a safe place and shiver.
They can only pray that this battle can end as soon as possible and not continue to affect them.
In the distance, in a mansion in Kuri, a girl was kneeling on the ground, biting a silk scarf in her mouth, with a hint of blush on her face due to throbbing.
Her heart was beating violently, as if she was still remembering the man who had flown over her mansion before.
"It's so domineering..."
She murmured in a low voice, her eyes flashing with admiration and excitement.
"But that person doesn't seem to have been seen in Wano Country..."
Her brows furrowed slightly, her heart full of doubts.
Black Maria's eyes seemed to be only on that majestic figure.
She felt that after seeing that person, no one in this world could make her throb like that.
Even Kaido, who ruled Wano Country before, could not give her this feeling.
"I hope I can see you again in the future!"
"......"
Jin An and Captain John's battle continued, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and lightning roamed wildly in the clouds.
"You are really tenacious, Captain John."
Jin An said coldly, his fist swung again, hitting Captain John's chest with unmatched power.
"Hmph, why say so much, let's see the truth!"
Captain John roared, the blade met Jin An's attack with cold killing intent.
The power of the two collided in the air, bursting out a dazzling light.
The whole world was as bright as day at this moment.
...
