"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of the Beast Pirates being momentarily stunned, Reno immediately accelerated at full speed and disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away in the sky.
The reason he said such outrageous things earlier was to create an opportunity to leave, and clearly, his plan was a success. At least the pirate ship, including Kaido, was left stunned by his words.
"You little bastard, how dare you mess with me!"
Kaido was the first to snap out of it. With eyes wide open, resembling angry golden eyes, he shouted up at Reno in the sky.
Seeing the frustrated Kaido in the sky, Reno mocked him with a smug grin, "Kaido, you're the one who's dumb, so don't blame anyone else. I'm not playing with you anymore, bye-bye!"
After saying that, Reno conjured a green energy around him, which grew stronger. He then raised his hand and fiercely pulled it down three times. Without looking back, he flew toward Whitebeard's ship. True men never look back at explosions.
"Roar!" [Angry Dragon Roar]
Kaido faced the sky and roared in fury. His body elongated, and in no time, he transformed into a giant dragon, his massive form blocking the sky.
With lantern-like eyes, Kaido glared at Reno, then immediately began chasing after him. Despite his immense size, he moved with lightning speed, displaying surprising agility.
Reno heard the sounds of movement behind him and sneakily glanced over his shoulder. Seeing the enormous figure chasing him, his hair stood on end, and he desperately flew toward Whitebeard's ship.
In no time, Reno reached a point near Whitebeard's ship. As he flew, he shouted to Whitebeard, "Uncle Whitebeard, help... help me!"
"Whoosh!!"
As soon as Reno finished shouting, he landed steadily on the gangway, still hovering in mid-air, and called out to Whitebeard, "Uncle Whitebeard, Kaido has gone mad, you have to help me!"
Whitebeard glanced at the approaching Kaido, then looked at Reno with a dark expression and asked, "Kaido is heavily wounded. There's no reason he would come to cause trouble with me. What exactly happened?"
Reno, hearing Whitebeard's question, quickly flashed an embarrassed expression before returning to his innocent act and stammered, "I just went to talk to him about cooperating, but he suddenly went mad, and I ran back here. I really don't know what happened!"
By this time, Kaido had arrived in the air near the ship. Upon hearing Reno's words, he became even more furious and shouted, "You little bastard! You still have the nerve to say I went mad? You, the one trying to find someone to cooperate and attack Mariejois, are the real crazy one!"
Upon hearing this, the crew aboard Whitebeard's ship all stared at Reno with expressions of disbelief, looking at him as if he were a monster.
Reno, feeling a bit awkward under their gaze, could only stubbornly explain, "I saw this guy looking a bit slow-witted, so I tried to trick him into attacking Mariejois. After all, since we've already made an enemy of him, we might as well go all out!"
"Gulalala..."
"Hahahaha hic..."
Reno's outrageous words left everyone on the ship silent for a few seconds, before one by one, they burst into laughter, including Whitebeard, who was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.
Kaido, hearing Reno's words, looked like he was about to explode in anger. It was obvious that this remark had enraged him to no end.
After some time, Kaido finally calmed down. He no longer tried to argue with Reno verbally but turned to Whitebeard with a furious gaze and asked, "Whitebeard, this little bastard dared to mess with me. Are you really going to protect him?"
"Gulalala..."
Whitebeard heard Kaido's question and laughed with great arrogance. "Kaido, I'm going to protect him, what can you do about it?"
"If you haven't had enough of a fight, I'm happy to fight you again, and I'll make sure you cry for your mother!"
"Gulalala..."
As Whitebeard spoke, he continued to laugh loudly. His aura surged, and his Conqueror's Haki spread out, pressing down on Kaido.
The sky, which had been clear just moments before, instantly turned dark with clouds as Whitebeard's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki took effect.
"Boom—Crash!!"
With the appearance of a king, the entire atmosphere seemed to lose its color.
Kaido, seeing that Whitebeard was not backing down, could only glare at Reno with venom in his eyes.
He then turned around and flew back to his ship, not because he didn't want to deal with Reno, but because with Whitebeard here, he couldn't get close to Reno!
"Whoosh Whoosh!!"
"Buzz Buzz!!"
As Kaido turned and flew toward his ship, he suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Not only Kaido but everyone in the area heard the whistling sound.
Just as everyone was wondering why there was such a noise in the sky, they saw three flaming meteors, heading straight for their sea area.
Kaido saw that the meteors were falling directly toward his ship. Remembering Reno's confusing behavior, he was sure this was the little bastard's doing!
With this thought in mind, Kaido turned around and angrily shouted at Reno, "You little bastard, I'll remember this grudge. From now on, you and I are sworn enemies!"
After shouting, Kaido immediately flew back to his ship as fast as he could. The ones who had just died were only small fries, but now on his ship were his crew members. If they all died, it would be a serious blow to him!
As soon as Kaido left, Reno's body immediately released a burst of green energy, which then enveloped the entire ship. The ship gradually began to float, eventually hovering about a hundred meters above the sea.
"Flame Sword" Vista, seeing the ship lifted into the air, asked with a puzzled expression, "Little Reno, why did you lift the ship so high?"
The crew on board had no idea what Reno was up to, so they all looked at him in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
Only Whitebeard, with his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, understood why Reno was doing this, so he didn't stop him.
