"Your Majesty, when we return home, I swear I'll double my efforts in training. From now on, I'll protect you with my life," Daiki said with fierce determination, his voice steady but his eyes blazing with resolve.

Anos looked at his loyal subject with a gentle but firm expression. "Don't burden yourself, Daiki. You've done enough. For now, let's focus on getting back. The sooner, the better. I'm not even sure if the other party saw our flag. If they did... well, it's not something we can easily erase."

Daiki nodded solemnly, but Anos could see the tension still hanging over him. It wasn't every day they encountered such a terrifying presence, one that had left them both feeling like ants in the shadow of a mountain.

And for Daiki, a man who prided himself on his strength, it had been a humbling experience.

They both stood silently in the air, using Geppo to stay aloft. Below them, the ocean, which had been a churning maelstrom moments before, was now beginning to calm.

The two warriors gazed down at the tranquil surface, lost in thought.

Who could have predicted such an encounter on a peaceful journey? It felt unreal.

They had set out expecting smooth sailing, as it had always been for the Tru Kingdom.

But now, they realized the world was far more complex and dangerous than they had imagined.

As Daiki glanced at his king, he thought about the uncertain future ahead.

They had narrowly escaped this time, but what if they crossed paths with that fearsome figure again? Would they be as lucky?

At that moment, somewhere beneath the waves, Kaido was floating in a state of eerie calm.

Though he couldn't move due to the side effects of his Devil Fruit, he could still breathe underwater thanks to his Fish-Fish Fruit abilities.

He was aware, fully conscious, but unable to act yet he was far from defeated.

This was Kaido, the creature known as the "Strongest Creature" a title that had been thoroughly earned.

Anos and Daiki, feeling the urgency of the situation, resumed their Geppo and quickly made their way back to their ship, the Tempest.

Their crew had been anxiously watching from a distance, waiting for a sign of their return.

They had sailed a considerable distance for safety, slowing only once they felt secure.

Time seemed to stretch as they travelled. It wasn't until someone on deck finally spotted their figures approaching that a shout of relief pierced the air.

Excited cries filled the ship as the others spotted them, all shouting their joy at once.

The entire crew had witnessed the island where Kaido had landed, and they had all seen it sink into the ocean like a stone.

Even from their safe distance, they had heard the rumbling as a massive chunk of land disappeared beneath the waves.

The power displayed had left everyone shaken to their core.

When Anos and Daiki landed back on the deck, the atmosphere was thick with both relief and lingering dread.

Anos moved as if unaffected, his expression calm and collected.

Daiki, on the other hand, was breathing heavily, his face slightly flushed from both exertion and lingering adrenaline.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Suzu, the ship's navigator, asked with tear-filled eyes.
