Marine G-1 Branch.
On the massive square, two black lightning bolts shot down from the sky and slamd into the ground. As they hit, a strange magic circle materialized.
Kaido was, of course, familiar with this magic circle. Before he transmigrated, the plot of the fanfiction had already reached Egghead Island, where he had witnessed the Gorosei using this unique thod to instantly transfer to the island. Therefore, he was very interested in this special thod of instantaneous movent. If he could master it, the Beasts Pirates could instantly reach any corner of the world, and the military advantage of that was obvious.
However, knowing about it was different from seeing it in person.
Since he was ready, Kaido clearly watched the entire process of the two black lightning bolts striking. The mont they landed, the magic circle appeared. Then, a familiar power emanated from the earth, which Kaido recognized as the special energy he had sensed at Mount Fuji in Wano Country. It was very similar to, and exactly like, Qi.
After the magic circle manifested, the ground began to change. Clusters of black fla clouds appeared. They started to twist, deform, and gather. Slowly, they transford into two cloaked figures.
This was intriguing! It reminded Kaido of the plot where Rob Lucci and others, upon awakening their Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, also manifested such fla clouds on their bodies.
Just as Kaido intended to investigate more closely, the two teleported individuals slowly raised their heads, revealing faces that made Kaido lose control of his emotions, filling him with shock.
"Hey, hey..."
At that mont, Kaido wasn't the only one astonished; King, standing beside him, also cried out in surprise after clearly seeing the face.
"How is this possible? How could Red-Hair be here?"
Indeed, on the square of the Marine G-1 Branch, as the two figures stood up, they revealed their faces from beneath their cloaks. One of those faces was all too familiar to Kaido and King. It was the face of Red-Haired Shanks, who, like Kaido, was one of the Yonko of the New World.
Kaido's first thought was also of Red-Hair. He rembered that in the plot, when he had tried to go to Marineford to take part in the Marineford War, it was Red-Hair who had stopped him, causing Kaido to miss the chance to save his 'son-in-law'.
But soon, he sensed that sothing was wrong.
It wasn't just Kaido who noticed the anomaly; King also widened his eyes, as if he had just made a discovery.
"Big Brother, this person... doesn't seem to be Red-Hair..."
High above the vast sea, with its rolling waves and howling winds, Kaido and King stared at the man who looked like Red-Hair and the unfamiliar cloaked woman below in the G-1 Branch.
Kaido finally understood sothing, and along with the surprise on his face, he showed a hint of a pleased smile.
"So that's it, so that's it. Worororo..."
No wonder there had been such a strange scene during the Marineford War. People at Marineford were astonished that Red-Hair, who had clashed with Kaido in the New World just a short ti before, could appear so quickly at Marineford as the war neared its end. Many had even suspected that Red-Hair might be a Devil Fruit user with a teleportation ability.
It turned out...
At that mont, Kaido, having figured everything out, let out a joyful laugh that echoed across the sea. He stared intently at the man in front of him who, despite having the sa face as Shanks, had no scars on his left eye and had both arms.
"I truly didn't expect it; there are actually two Red-Hairs on this sea. Hey, kid, are you Red-Hair's clone?"
"Clone!"
As Kaido's words finished, the second Red-Hair, who had appeared at the G-1 Branch, slowly spoke.
"Do you think I'm a clone of that guy who abandoned the dignity of the Celestial Dragons and beca a pirate, Kaido of the Beasts?"
As soon as he spoke, Kaido was completely certain. The man in front of him was not Red-Hair, nor was he an imitator who had transford into him, nor was he a clone. Although that guy, Red-Haired Shanks, was annoying, he would never talk about the dignity of the Celestial Dragons.
anwhile, King, who was beside him, said in astonishnt, "Red-Haired Shanks... is that guy actually a Celestial Dragon?"
It was Kaido who answered King's question.
"Ah! I knew it from the first mont I saw Red-Hair; after all, I can never forget that face."
Kaido's gaze asured the second Red-Hair and the unfamiliar woman beside him, a peculiar smile on his face. He slowly said, "Thirty-seven years ago, at God Valley..."
At this point, the second Red-Hair had yet to move, but the unfamiliar woman beside him had already acted. She drew a long sword—clearly a famous blade—from beneath her cloak and unleashed a slash toward Kaido and King.
"Hmph!"
King snorted at this and likewise drew the Nidai Kitetsu—which Kaido had given him—from his waist and unleashed a slash.
"Clang!"
Two dazzling slashes collided, sparking brilliant fireworks in the air that illuminated the entire sea.
"Boom!!!"
The two slashes instantly shattered, falling upon the sea and cleaving the water, creating a chasm a hundred ters deep.
King looked at the unfamiliar cloaked woman with so surprise, his brows tightly furrowed. He hadn't expected anyone to be able to block his attack. No wonder Big Brother was so cautious; the World Governnt truly had hidden masters!
And at that mont, the pair of eyes revealed beneath the cloaked woman's hood also looked at King with so surprise , though her gaze was focused more on the weapon in King's hand: the Nidai Kitetsu. She slowly uttered a low voice.
"You're wasting the power of that blade!"
"!!!"
King was stunned, and Kaido was also taken aback, before he looked at King and burst into hearty laughter.
"King, you've actually been underestimated by a woman!"
However, King, who was being mocked, didn't even speak, but the unfamiliar woman below suddenly changed her expression, looking as if she was about to act again. She was stopped by the second Red-Hair beside her.
"Don't forget the order; our mission is only one: to block Kaido of the Beasts here ." After saying that, he looked up at Kaido in the sky and stated with a cold gaze, "Don't let him approach the Red Line by even a single step."
The waves rolled even more violently; it seed the entire sea grew dangerous under the tense standoff between the two sides.
"Don't let approach the Red Line by even a single step!"
At that instant, Kaido's gaze also turned cold, staring intently at the second Red-Hair in front of him.
"I admit, kid, your appearance makes things very interesting for , but that's all. Don't think that just because you have a face like Red-Hair, you have the right to speak to . You're far inferior to that guy, Red-Hair."
Kaido's words were clearly very effective. Visibly, the veins on the second Red-Hair's forehead bulged, and he said with a chilling tone, "Are you saying I'm not as good as that pirate?"
