Chapter 25: 25: A Critical Moment, Hawkeye Enters the Scene!



Compared to the dragon claw in the live broadcast, everything else seemed insignificant—it was simply beyond comparison!

It seemed that his own strength was still too weak. As the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, he needed to train much harder.

...

"Ma ma ma... Kaido really is getting stronger and stronger. I didn't expect this. He still owes me a big favor."

Charlotte Linlin stopped chewing for a moment, looking at the live broadcast with surprise.

"I wonder how roasted dragon claw would taste. If I could chop off one of Kaido's hands to try it, that would be great. Ma ma ma..."

She burst into laughter as if joking, but the thought seemed to have taken root in her mind.

...

"So this is the power of an Emperor of the Sea? This is way too strong!"

Zoro had been training intensely when the massive dragon claw descended from the clouds, leaving him completely stunned.

Looking at the three swords in his hands, he wondered—just how much stronger did he have to become to match the power of an Emperor?

The road ahead was still long... very long.

Shanks and Mihawk's swordsmanship were nearly equal, but did that mean even the peak of swordsmanship couldn't match monsters like Kaido?

If it were purely a comparison of swordsmanship, Shanks and Mihawk were evenly matched. However, an Emperor of the Sea was supposed to be far stronger than a Warlord of the Sea.

Could Mihawk even block this attack?

No!

Could Mihawk even injure Kaido?

Zoro fell silent. If even Shanks couldn't do anything to Kaido, how could Mihawk?

For the first time, Zoro felt uncertain about the path he was walking. Just witnessing a battle between Emperors of the Sea was shocking enough.

He gripped his sword tightly, feeling the urge to slap himself for the first time!

He had always aimed to become the world's greatest swordsman—how could he allow himself to waver?

If Mihawk and Shanks couldn't do it, then one day, he would personally cut down Kaido and prove to the world that he was the greatest swordsman!

...

"Wow~ That red-haired guy is so cool! The way he swings his sword—I've never seen moves like that before!"

Ah Qi was still drifting at sea. He took out a trendy hairstyle magazine from his pocket and shook his head regretfully.

"Way cooler than the techniques illustrated in this book."

With that, he excitedly jumped up, standing at the ship's bow while mimicking Shanks' sword swings.

"If Miss Mei sees my sword skills, what if she falls in love with me? Ah, such a dilemma~"

Ah Qi chuckled foolishly, but before his demonic blade, Thousand Blades, returned to him, he had already arrived at Xuanwu Nation. However, he didn't dare enter.

"But how do I even control that sword?"

He still couldn't remember the password to his main account. The Thousand Blades in his hand was no better than a mere kitchen knife—it even broke after one swing.

...

"Whoa whoa whoa! Teacher Saitama! Look at this! To the people on that island, this is practically the end of the world!"

Genos was so excited he could barely form words. From the live footage, it was clear that for most heroes, Saitama and Kaido were simply beyond imagination.

Genos had studied the battle records of the Hero Association, which included past Dragon-level monsters.

But now, even the highest-tier Dragon-level monsters probably wouldn't survive under the pressure of this dragon claw.

That was exactly how Genos felt—an insurmountable gap that no amount of effort could overcome!

His confidence was shattered, but Saitama patted his shoulder casually.

"Don't get so discouraged. Just do what you can. A hero's strength might vary, but their worth isn't determined by their rank. Just be yourself."

With his bald head shining, Saitama finished comforting Genos. Then, he turned to the broadcast with a serious expression.

"This monster's strength... it definitely surpasses the Dragon level. That's just my gut feeling, but the Hero Association won't be able to measure its power accurately. There's simply no reference point."

In other words, this was the strongest opponent Saitama had seen so far.

Even he felt a slight pressure from the descending dragon claw.

It had been a long time since he felt this kind of excitement. If possible, he really wanted to fight this monster properly!

...

"Kaido, that bastard! He's out of control! I can't believe he'd go this far, even in his own territory!"

Sengoku slammed the table in anger. Garp and the three Admirals hadn't seen him this furious in a long time.

"If that strike lands, the entire island will sink into the sea, and all the residents will perish! Have you all forgotten this is a live broadcast?

The entire world is watching us!

If Kaido actually does this, the World Government will have no choice but to issue a Buster Call."

Sengoku's face turned red as he said those words.

The three Admirals, who had been seated on the couch, immediately stood up.

"A Buster Call?!"

"If this battle is being broadcasted, we won't be able to suppress the news. If an entire island's population is wiped out, only a Buster Call can stabilize public order."

"This is such a troublesome situation..."

Buster Call:

An all-out attack authorized by the World Government, allowing the Marine Headquarters to launch indiscriminate destruction upon the targeted area. This is a weapon of mass annihilation, meant to completely erase anything or anyone that threatens the World Government's rule.

In recent years, the Marines had issued two Buster Calls.

Twenty years ago, Sengoku personally ordered a Buster Call, with Vice Admirals Aokiji and Akainu among those who participated.

Ohara Buster Call: Kuzan, Sakazuki, Doberman, Strawberry, and Fire Mountain.

Twenty years later, Aokiji ordered another Buster Call.

Enies Lobby Buster Call: Doberman, Fire Mountain, Dalmatian, Onigumo, and Strawberry.

A Buster Call had never involved an Admiral before, but this time might be different.

If they wanted to eliminate Kaido, the Marines would have to go all out.

And if the World Government made a move against Emperor Kaido, the other Emperors wouldn't just sit back and watch.

"Whitebeard is about to arrive at Marineford, and now Kaido is making a huge mess in Wano. Trouble just keeps coming one after another!"

The war between the World Government and the Emperors of the Sea might start sooner than expected.

Even the Marine Headquarters was now hoping that Red-Haired Shanks could block the attack.

For the Marines to pin their hopes on a pirate—what an ironic situation.

"Look! Who is that?!"

Aokiji suddenly pointed at a tiny black dot in the live broadcast. His expression turned to one of shock—this figure looked so familiar!

Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and even Kizaru all turned their gazes toward the screen.

As the broadcaster, Beifeng was too hyped to notice, but many people had already spotted the small figure entering the battle zone.

The camera zoomed in—

It was Dracule Mihawk!

And he was holding a demonic sword, Thousand Blades!

No, wait—

There was another sword hidden behind him!
