The initial Observation Haki is an extreme enhancement of hearing; even with eyes closed, one can hear many chaotic sounds.
Later, it allows predicting the attack trajectory of opponents, as if hearing their muscle breathing. As cultivation advances, it gradually enables perceiving others' aura, concealing one's own aura, group concealment, listening to the heart's voice, and so on.
Among these, listening to the heart's voice, on Skypiea, is also called "Heart Net," a very advanced form of Observation Haki, akin to "mind-reading." Those who can master it are extremely rare.
At this moment, upon hearing the words of the Great Angel, Andy had no time to doubt. He dropped to the ground with his limbs, then suddenly leaped up. In a single bound, he crossed several hundred meters and rapidly headed toward Kaido.
Meanwhile, Kaido suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Huh? How did he notice me?"
Kaido frowned, sensing Andy rushing toward him.
Just as he was pondering this, a roar came through the air.
"Kaido!!" The black-haired giant ape roared to the sky, "Give Nini back to me!"
In midair, Andy saw Kaido's presence clearly, and also saw Nini Poland, who had been captured by Kaido.
"Big brother!" Nini's eyes lit up, and upon seeing the black-haired giant ape, she immediately relaxed.
"Move aside, Nini!"
Andy shouted loudly, launching an attack from midair. He suddenly threw a punch at Kaido.
"Get out of the way!"
Kaido snorted coldly, stepping forward to meet the punch.
Boom!
Two fists collided—one large, one small—completely disproportionate. Yet, under such circumstances, the black-haired giant ape was forced back by a single strike, while Kaido remained unharmed, with only the earth trembling slightly.
Ancient Zoan types are troublesome; they're nearly impossible to kill.
Kaido frowned deeply, then shouted: "Jack!"
From a distance, a tall figure slowly approached.
"Understood, Captain. I'll handle him."
The person who appeared was shirtless, with a tall build, and a pair of particularly long tusks extending forward from his ears.
Seeing this person, the black-haired giant ape's expression changed: "One of the Three Disasters… Drought Disaster Jack!"
This individual is an Animal-type, Ancient Zoan, with a Mammoth Fruit!
Bounty: 800 million!
Though only 800 million, his strength is not to be underestimated. Bounty does not equal strength. At least compared to Andy Poland, the Three Disasters are only slightly weaker or stronger.
"Being an Ancient Zoan too, are you afraid of me?" Jack chuckled softly. "I'll be your opponent!"
After glancing at him, Kaido lost interest in waiting. He pulled Nini aside and ordered: "Quickly, run. Let your treasure-seeking rat find something."
"Don't kill my brother!" Nini gritted her teeth.
"Hahaha… That depends on your performance," Kaido snorted coldly, signaling her to act.
But at this moment, a flash of holy light streaked across, and the figure of the Great Angel appeared directly in front of Kaido.
"Going? Where are you all headed?" Vladimir looked calmly at them.
Kaido's pupils suddenly shrank, a look of shock on his face: "So fast! What speed is this? My Observation Haki didn't react at all!"
He could sense something approaching, but his Observation Haki was too slow to respond—the opponent had already appeared in front of him.
"Great Angel!" Kaido's expression grew serious.
Vladimir's whole body shimmered with holy light, radiating divine aura.
"Four Emperors Kaido, how bold of you. We didn't bother you, and yet you dare to provoke us. Do you want to become the second Four Emperor to be wiped out?"
Hearing this, Kaido trembled all over and blurted out: "BIG MOM… it's definitely you guys' doing!"
"Indeed, it's you guys' doing!"
Kaido's heart trembled.
Although he had suspected this earlier—the mysterious collapse of the Big Mom Pirates overnight was undoubtedly caused by some force—yet hearing the Great Angel admit it openly still shocked him.
That's one of the four top forces in the New World, wiped out overnight. How powerful are the mysterious killers of the Phantom Organization?
"What does it matter?" Vladimir said calmly. "Four Emperors Kaido, what are you doing here?"
"Hmph, asking a question you already know the answer to."
Kaido snorted coldly. "I have no intention of clashing with you. I just came to retrieve a manuscript."
"Red Stone?" Vladimir couldn't help but mock. "Is that why you're inferior to Roger, even less generous than the King of Beasts?"
Of course, this "you" also includes Big Mom.
The predicament of these two Four Emperors is like being stuck at a dead end—like a game's final map that can't be reached. How can they clear the game?
Whitebeard isn't interested. Before Roger's death, he once drank with him, trying to learn how to find and access Laugh Tale. But Whitebeard directly refused.
As for Red Hair, he was once Roger's crewmate and has already been to Laugh Tale.
Kaido's expression darkened at the mockery. He snorted: "Are you trying to stop me?"
"An interesting question. Entering Cake Island without my permission." Vladimir raised an eyebrow. "I'm not here to stop you, but to drive you back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vladimir made his move.
Although he had little interest in the Red Stone, he wouldn't allow Kaido to take it casually. More importantly, the other party completely ignored his presence and tried to secretly steal the Red Stone. That's absolutely unacceptable.
At this moment, a holy light shone forth as the figure of the Great Angel appeared directly in front of Kaido.
"Going? Where do you think you're headed?" Vladimir looked calmly at them.
