"Kong Tai, Kuina, are you alright!"
As Kong Tai and Kuina landed on the Freedom, Hua and the others cast their concerned gazes.
Even though they all knew Kong Tai and Kuina were powerful, and believed that with the two of them on the job, nothing would be a problem,
the suddenly appearing, colossal shadow still cast a sliver of worry in their hearts.
"We're fine, just a slightly strong wild beast,"
Kong Tai picked up a teacup from the coffee table and took a sip, then said nonchalantly, "Never mind me and Kuina, even if it was just you guys cooperating well, you could have killed that thing."
"Is that so!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua patted his chest and chuckled, "The aura that thing gave off, I thought it was another Yonko. It was too terrifying. So it was just a wild beast!"
"Mmm hmm!!"
A Luo and A Tao also nodded in agreement.
Issho, who had been standing quietly to the side, turned his head, wanting to ask something, but was interrupted by Kong Tai's gesture, "Don't worry, Uncle Issho, if I say it was a wild beast, then it was a wild beast, nothing else. Don't overthink it."
"Alright!" Issho hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and returned to his exclusive chair, hugging his staff-sword, lost in thought.
Of those left on the ship, his strength was the greatest, and his Observation Haki could easily sense the battlefield on the other side between Kong Tai and Kuina.
Therefore, he really wanted to ask what that evil aura he had never seen before was.
Clearly, Kong Tai did not intend to discuss it further with them.
Since Kong Tai said it was a wild beast, then let it be a wild beast!
"Alright, we've wasted so much time, the sun is about to set, let's go up!"
Gazing at the towering waterfall before him, Kong Tai stood at the bow of the ship, his toes lightly tapping the deck. Then, the Freedom, as if losing gravity, rose from the sea and rapidly ascended towards the waterfall.
...
Breaking through the lower cloud layer and dense mist, the Freedom leaped up from beneath the waterfall, like a carp jumping through the Dragon Gate. The scene suddenly opened up before them.
Ahead lay an endless sea reflecting the setting sun, bathed in an orange-yellow hue. Behind them was a giant waterfall like an abyss.
The Freedom stopped above the abyss, its back to the setting sun. The people on the ship stared with wide eyes, admiring the rare and beautiful scenery.
"Kong Tai, there seems to be a Skull Island ahead."
As for how big Wano Country was, it wasn't actually that large, as it was artificially constructed.
Wano Country was a nation built on high mountains, surrounded by an inner sea. Outside the inner sea was a magnificent wall.
To cross the wall and enter Wano Country, one had to climb the vertical waterfall beneath them, which was like an abyss.
Therefore, ordinary pirates, even if they passed through the outer seas, had no way to reach this heavenly road.
Of course, where there's a will, there's a way. At any time and in any place, even in a man-made desperate situation, there would be a glimmer of hope.
And the way to Wano Country was in the deep sea below.
Here, one had to mention Luffy. Although that guy was very reliable at critical moments, most of the time he was very unreliable, like a child who hadn't grown up.
Whether it was fate's guidance or the protagonist's halo, whenever he encountered a problem, this usually unreliable guy always found a way out of desperation.
And the way to Wano Country was just like that.
Luffy saw giant carp swimming in the water, and given his personality, his first thought would definitely be to eat. But then he was shocked by the sight: a school of giant carp swimming upstream, easily ascending before them, the giant waterfall that, in ordinary people's eyes, was like a heavenly road.
This guy then grabbed a carp and, using the carp's strength, successfully landed in Wano Country.
And later, Big.
Otherwise, there would definitely be chaos here right now.
It was no wonder he only saw relatively strong cadres on Queen's ship and no ordinary pirates.
The Freedom flew inland from the river surface between Hakumai and Usagi-do without any pause.
Kong Tai did not spend time rescuing the prisoners in the Usagi-do prison mining area.
Tomorrow,
Kaido's death, the demise of the Beast Pirates, and the fall of Kurozumi Orochi would spread throughout Wano Country.
At that time, the hidden samurai here would naturally emerge and liberate the entire Wano Country.
This was something he didn't need to worry too much about.
After all, this was not an ordinary country.
