But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood?That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another.“Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.”Note: A ‘drowning dog’ is someone who is down and out, having lost favor or power.

When Chambord landed on the island, the pacifist, the general Huang Yuan, appeared, and all the supernovas fell into despair except the hat group.

Seeing Zoro sweeping the world with a single sword, Sanji the Demon Kazekaku, and Luffy blasting away the oracle with his four-speed karma fist gun, the supernovas were stunned.

“Is this a supernova? I’m afraid it’s not the imperial group!”

During the war on the top, the hat regiment descended with the momentum like a royal regiment.

On Ghost Island, Kaido and Big Mom satirized: “Hey, boy, what are you going to become? Say it again in front of us!”

Luffy opened five gears furiously, his fist was as huge as a ghost island! A five-speed Yehuo fist gun! Party Kaido and Big Mom!
