The Beast Pirates in the banquet hall spared no effort in flattering him.
"How could that be, you idiots?!"
Plague Queen, one of the Beast Pirates' three main members, sneered.
"Mr. Kaido, this newcomer has successively defeated an Admiral and a legend. His strength might be even greater than we imagined!"
Flame Emperor King, the second-in-command, said in a deep voice.
"Uororororo, legend? What kind of bullshit legend! He's just an outdated old lion! That bastard Shiki was defeated because he was too weak!"
Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts, cried and laughed at the same time.
"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The weak have no place to survive… Even if he hadn't been killed by that newcomer brat this time, I would have killed that arrogant old lion myself one day… I've had a bit too much to drink, I'd better go out and wander around again!"
After he finished speaking,
Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts, on his throne, underwent a massive transformation.
The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form ability, activated.
Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts, transformed into a thousand-meter-long Azure Dragon, broke through the skull roof, and went out to rampage again.
… …
… …
New World, Totto Land.
Cake Island, Afternoon Tea Garden.
"Mama mama mama, so that arrogant old lion is dead, huh? That's truly good news!"
Four Emperors Big Mom Charlotte Linlin laughed unrestrainedly.
"The current era is long past where that old geezer could meddle. Yet, that day he dared to speak so presumptuously, wanting to take the lead in reforming the Rocks Pirates. This is the price of overestimating oneself!"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
"What Flying Great Pirate? Just a remnant of the old era!"
"A mere loser from the old era is nothing at all!"
"Similarly, the so-called Five Emperors who merely defeated a remnant of the old era is nothing special!"
Perospero, Cracker, and other Big Mom Pirates ministers and cadres echoed her.
"Mama mama mama, that old lion's life or death is completely insignificant. Speaking of which, Mondor, have all the invitations for the Tea Party been sent out yet?"
Four Emperors Big Mom asked.
"Yes, Mama! The Kings of the Underworld have all responded! Everyone is very much looking forward to this Tea Party!"
The Minister of Books, Mondor, replied.

Smiling Whale Ship.
Whitebeard Pirates.
"Pops! Pops! Look! That Golden Lion guy was actually killed!"
Marco the Phoenix, the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, cried out in surprise.
"Gurarahahaha, so that old lion is dead, huh!"
Whitebeard's light golden eyes opened and closed. He glanced at the news in the newspaper and spoke indifferently.
"Old man, aren't you surprised at all?" Diamond Jozu, the commander of the Third Division, asked.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. That old Golden Lion is as flamboyant as ever in his actions. He thinks it's still his era, so this outcome is to be expected!" Whitebeard, the Four Emperors, said calmly.
"However… even though the old Golden Lion is old, he still has some tricks up his sleeve. To be able to defeat him head-on, this year's new Emperor might… I wonder what other shocking moves he'll make next!"
...
...
Red Force.
Red Hair Pirates.
"Boss~ Boss~ This is truly astonishing news!"
"The legend of the previous era, the Flying Big Pirate Shiki the Golden Lion…"
"That Golden Lion was actually killed by Traveler Rolin!"
Lucky Roux, the chubby man, Yasopp, the sniper, Benn Beckman, the navigator, and other Red Hair Pirates cadres all widened their eyes in shock.
"Ah ha ha, there's nothing to be done about it. Who told that Golden Lion to lay hands on someone close to that person!" Red Hair Shanks, the Four Emperors, shook his head.
"A Dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and die! After this, I believe no matter who wants to harm the Air Force, they will first have to weigh their options and consider the fate of Golden Lion Shiki!" Benn Beckman, the Red Hair Pirates' vice-captain, exhaled a smoke ring and murmured softly.

Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Headquarters Building, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"In the East Blue, Smoker has just finished investigating the Floating Island and still hasn't found Golden Lion Shiki, so we can't confirm if he's alive or dead. However… the World Economic Journal, where did that birdman Morgans get all this information? The causes and effects reported in these news articles are even more detailed than our own investigations!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned tightly.
"Undoubtedly, someone leaked it to him!" Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Grand Staff Officer, said with certainty.
"Leaked? Who…"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words stopped abruptly mid-sentence; he had already realized.
Who else could know all the causes and effects of this entire incident, besides the parties involved?
"Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys! Five Emperors Rolin is using the blood of a legend to warn the world!"
...
...
The impact of the Flying Great Pirate's demise continued to ferment.
Tonight, the great sea is destined to be sleepless!!!
At the same time.
Tonight, Cocoyasi Village…
