Kaido glared at Queen, his eyes burning with murderous intent. Traitors were the one thing he despised above all else. Especially traitors who tried to abandon ship at the first sign of trouble. Kaido was no exception. His blood-red eyes were locked on Queen, his war club already raised.
"Kaido, you have to see it—we're outmatched! I'm not about to throw my life away for a lost cause."
Queen stared back at Kaido, forcing down the fear that had been building in his chest. In the Beasts Pirates, Jack treated him with respect, and even King wouldn't dare cross him. But Queen had always been afraid of Kaido.
"Let's just enjoy the show for now."
Shin decided to hold back for a mont. A good show was about to start—a little internal strife among his enemies. He was more than happy to watch it unfold.
Besides, killing Kaido could wait. Shin could do it whenever he felt like it. For him, the entertainnt was what mattered most.
""
Kaido, in a fit of rage, swung his club at Queen. Though a large man, Queen was surprisingly agile. He dodged Kaido's attack in an instant, having anticipated it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ground shattered under the force of the blow. Missing his first strike, Kaido imdiately swung at Queen again.
King, who had just managed to get to his feet, was completely bewildered. What was happening? Why were his own comrades suddenly fighting each other?
"Kaido, you're leaving no choice! Don't bla for what cos next!"
He used to call Kaido his captain, a man he trusted. But now, he was expected to die alongside him. No matter how loyal he once was, Queen couldn't bring himself to do it. He wanted to live. He had to choose a side, and it was obvious Kaido was no match for Shin Uzumaki.
So, Queen decided to switch his allegiance to Shin.
However, Queen hadn't considered what Shin was thinking.
To Shin, this was all just entertainnt. Even if Queen defected, Shin wouldn't take him. His ship was filled with beautiful won—what use did he have for Queen?
In truth, Queen didn't want to join Shin's crew. He just wanted a chance to live.
But he wouldn't get that chance. Even after transforming into a Brachiosaurus, he couldn't withstand Kaido's club. Queen was, at best, a Yonko Commander. He was no match for a Yonko in a head-on fight.
The gap in their strength was simply too wide.
——————
The enraged Kaido smashed his head in.
It turned out that while Kaido was no match for an external threat like Shin, he was more than effective at dealing with internal dissent.
"King, are you planning to run too?" Kaido glanced at King, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Never." King replied in a deep voice. Running was out of the question, and he wasn't as foolish as Queen. Did he really think that just because he wanted to quit, Shin Uzumaki would let him go? He'd probably just die faster.
"Then let's take down Shin Uzumaki together." Kaido's gaze returned to Shin.
Steeling himself, Kaido decided that even if he were to die, he would take a piece of Shin with him.
""
Shin ford a single hand seal. The already ruined island was instantly transford into a dense forest. Countless trees twisted and coiled, lunging at Kaido and King.
"He has this kind of power too?" Kaido broke free from the trees' grasp, then cleared the surrounding area with a swing of his club.
But it wasn't enough to stop the relentless growth of the trees. And once he was bound, the trees began to drain his stamina.
King used his flas to burn the surrounding trees, but even the fire couldn't stop their growth.
"What kind of Devil Fruit is this?" King thought of the Woods-Woods Fruit, but quickly dismissed the idea. It was impossible, and soone else had already eaten that fruit.
""
Just as King and Kaido were trying to figure out how to deal with the forest, the trees suddenly twisted together, forming a giant wooden golem.
The golem was massive, standing at a hundred ters tall, far taller than any giant in the world of One Piece.
"It's enormous." King finally understood why Queen had betrayed Kaido. There was no way to win. Even now, King felt the urge to turn and run. But he wasn't Queen—he wasn't afraid of death.
Shin stood on the golem's head. 'You think this is big? If I used my True Several Thousand Hands, you'd probably die of shock.'
Compared to the Wood Golem, the True Several Thousand Hands was truly imnse. The golem wasn't even as large as one of its heads. One could only imagine the true size of the True Several Thousand Hands—it was likely thousands of ters tall.
Under Shin's control, the golem lifted its foot and stomped down on Kaido and King.
King imdiately transford into a Pteranodon and flew away, while Kaido chose to face the golem head-on.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The earth trembled, and Kaido was stomped into the ground.
The Wood Golem Shin had created was nothing like the one Hashirama Senju used in the world of Naruto. It was far more powerful.
——————
"Do you think Kaido was killed in one stomp?" Hancock couldn't help but ask.
They were no longer surprised by the abilities Shin displayed. In fact, for most of Shin's powers, Hancock and the others didn't know the full extent, but they had co to accept that Shin's arsenal was vast.
"Even if he's not dead, he'll be seriously injured. Kaido is no match for Shin."
Robin was completely calm. This was why they hadn't interfered. It was sothing Shin could handle with a wave of his hand. If they got involved, it might just annoy him. It was better to let Shin have his fun.
"Flas are useless against ."
Shin watched as the Pteranodon, wreathed in flas, charged towards him. He simply controlled the golem to open its massive hand and grab King out of the air.
The transford King was only about the size of the golem's palm. He was caught in an instant.
With a tight squeeze, a sickening crunch echoed through the air. King was crushed to death in the golem's hand. His fragile body stood no chance against such overwhelming power. King the Wildfire was dead. All three of Kaido's All-Stars had been eliminated.
"Hmm?"
Shin suddenly felt the golem tremble. He looked down to see Kaido, using his imnse strength, lifting one of the golem's feet.
"Not bad. The strength you're showing now is a bit more interesting. Not as pathetic as before," Shin said, a glint in his eyes.
Shin didn't mind Kaido being strong. In fact, the stronger, the better. Shin was looking for a decent opponent. If Kaido turned out to be a pushover, Shin would be the one who was disappointed.
