Chapter 236 - 236. Kaido Appears (1/2)

The mood inside the house was warm. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they ate.

Leo ate heartily. Since there was enough food he didn't mind eating his fill. As they were finishing their meal they heard a loud rumble. Kiku and Tsuru were shocked, it was too loud.

Leo put down the chopsticks and got up. Geez, one after another. Couldn't he have come a bit later.

He got outside and looked to the sky. The clouds had turned dark. And amidst the clouds was a serpentine creature that was so large that it filled the sky. It coiled around inside the clouds.

The townsfolk were trembling when they saw this creature. Their faces went pale with fear. The children were sobbing, and their mothers tried to comfort them despite their own fear.

Tsuru and Kiku ran out with Tama. Their face paled when they saw the creature. Both of exclaimed.

”Kaido!!”

As responding to them a large dragon head popped out from out the clouds.

Kaido in his dragon form looked at the town. His eyes immediately locked onto Leo.

”Worororo, it's you. Hicc..”

Kaido spoke slowly. His voice was a bit lazy.

Leo was surprised. He is drunk?

Kaido suddenly opened his mouth. A blast of energy shot down from his mouth towards the town.

Leo didn't even raised an eyebrow. He grabbed the hilt of his sword. A sword ray flashed for a second and disappeared.

Boom!

Kaido's eyes seems to have gotten back some clarity as he stared at Leo.

Leo had an indifferent look on his face as he stared back. After a long while Kaido let out a wild laugh.

”Worororo, it looks like you got stronger. I'll be waiting for our next battle.”

With that said Kaido rose higher into the sky and disappeared.

Tsuru's legs get out, she sat down on the ground and panted. Being stared at by such an existence horrified her.

Leo walked back to the house. Tama was hiding behind Kiku, her face was pale.

He bend down and patted her head, ”Don't worry, he is gone.”

Tama sobbed and jumped into his c.h.e.s.t. Leo caught her and comforted her.

Kiku had a strange look on her face. When Kaido's vision fell on them another power enveloped them, shielding them from his enormous haoshoku haki.

Leo looked at Tsuru and asked, ”You ok?”

Tsuru nodded, ”I am fine. It was nerve wracking to be stared at by such a creature.”

Leo didn't say anything else and went inside the house.

...

On another part of Wano.

Luffy, Zoro and Flare had met up with the other Strawhats. They were now looking at the huge dragon in the sky.

”That's Kaido...

A man wearing a polar hat with tattoos on his arms said.

Usopp grabbed his head and said in panic, ”We have to fight against that monster?! It's impossible!”

”He is coming towards us!”

Everyone looked to the sky and saw Kaido flying towards them.

Luffy punched his palm and said, ”You guys run, I'll hold him off!”

Nami chopped on his head and yelled, ”Shut up! Everyone, let's go!”

They all rushed down the mountain. But before they could run far Kaido who was getting close to them opened his mouth. A beam of light condensed inside his mouth and shot out.
