In slow motion as the Scabbards swarmed Kaido in midair, he couldn't believe all that had happened, and so fast as well. His mind flashed back to when Oden first gave him his scar via Paradise Totsuka, and then the final moments of Oden's Execution when the two of them had one last exchange before Kaido shot him and left him to be boiled alive. It was then that his scar began hurting.

"(The scar from Oden…! Why does this hurt?!)" Kaido thought before he started screaming as he broke through the floor.

"Now that was a heck of a way to make an entrance." Brûz said.

"Those pirates from earlier were just a distraction! Stay alert, there might be more intruders!" the pirates said in panic.

"You're right." Ty said as everyone started to ditch their disguises. "However, you got more to worry about than Kaido."

"Wait, how were their attacks coordinated so thoroughly? Unless…" another pirate said before realization hit them. "Guys, there's a mole in our ranks!"

"Dammit! Who could've been here this whole time?!" a third asked.

"I know…I bet it was him!" one pirate said pointing to a rat as they looked around in surprise.

"What a violent feast." Big Mom said before seeing Luffy. "Straw Hat!"

"Now's our chance!" Nami said as she and the girls worked to escape the Homies.

"Stop! Don't let them-!" A Homie said before it was shot. "No… It… It was him. He's the…mole."

"About time!" Legolia smirked at who the shooter was.

"Sorry. I really had to keep my act up." David said.

"Seriously?!" some of the girls said.

"Well, that's just how he is." Sectonia said. "I'm still glad you came to rescue us."

"Don't mention it. Now go, before you girls get caught again." David said.

"Sweet of you…but we're not going anywhere." Roxy said.

"Mamamama! I came all this way to kill you, Straw Hat!" Big Mom laughed as she approached them. "These leaders too."

"What? You're still pissed about the tea party? Well you should know that it was total crud from start to finish." Ty said.

"I remember you…." Big Mom said looking to Ty. "Katakuri offered you as a Wedding gift as compensation for me losing that Swordswoman immortal on Stryker's Island! In fact, I see so many races I don't have yet. This…is even better!" she cheered.

"If you think I'm still up for going in that collection of yours, you're crazy!" Ty said.

"We're gonna have to pass on that as well." Simon added.

"I never said it was a choice. So why are you all here? And don't start telling jokes about going to defeat Kaido now." Big Mom said.

"What makes you think we're joking?" Mark asked.

"It's not!" Luffy said. "It's Kaido and you and the dark guy and the talking cockroach head, your officers, your crews…I came here to kick all of your butts!" Luffy called out. "It's an ALL OUT WAR!"

"Maamamamama! Don't get so full of yourself! How are you going to accomplish that with just your friends here?!" Big Mom said.

"I think you're the one telling jokes here, lady." David said.

"Muhahaha. Man, what a bunch of dopes." Queen said.

"Queen! An invading force of thousands has snuck through the rear." a pirate comm said.

"Huh?!" Queen said in surprise.

"Not just that. Samurai arrested in the capital, prisoners from Udon, we even saw the former warlord Trafalgar Law as well as the armies from the Adrestia Empire, Faerghus Kingdom and Leicester Alliance. And they just keep coming. We even spotted Marco the Phoenix outside with Charlotte Perospero. The numbers aren't stopping!" the pirate said.

"WHAT?!" Queen said in shock as Sentibug grabbed the intercom.

"Attention all forces! All demons, pirates, Shadow Knights! Stop your drinking or lazying around at once! Party's off! We're being invaded!" Sentibug announced to the whole island.

"Did I hear that right? A raid? And the Alliance is part of it?!" Shahid, prince of Almyra said. "I thought that Claude had been killed."

"Seems you were fed false info." spoke Nader, a warrior of Almyra.

"Hmm so the Prince is alive as well, and the girl too. Hmhmhm." The witch known as Cornelia said with a sultry smile.

"That false emperor is here?! No no no. This cannot be." said Ludwig von Aegir, the former prime minister.

"Fear not." some voices said as standing there were beings in black cloaks. "We who Slither in the Dark, shall not let your reigns end so quickly." they said.

"Hoo, seems like they pulled pretty much everyone they can spare. We're gonna be in for quite a night." David said.

"Worororororo! I heard you loud and clear, Straw Hat! I accept your challenge." Kaido said as he flew out of the floor in dragon form with the Red Scabbards clinging onto him. "I'll show you all the greatest army in the world!"

"That woman's voice just now…" Hapi said. "So she's here too."

"Here to kill me so soon, Spade Neptune? Even before you attempt to save your comrades and beloved, as well as find out the truth?" Tormal asked as he stood up.

"I'm here to put an end to this nightmare you've caused me long ago." Spade said.

"Oh so soon?" Tormal asked as he slowly removed his helm as his face was revealed, shocking everyone present.

"Spade! Tormal, he's…!" Glimmer said as Tormal's face was revealed to look exactly like Spade's except his face was pale with blood red sclera and onyx black hair. "You?!"

"Oh great, don't tell me he's an evil, long-lost twin." Mark said.

"Incorrect Anarchy, I am him, but of an alternate reality." Tormal said.

"Now it all makes sense! That's why the Shadow Knights have branded him a traitor up till now! Tormal must've killed them and framed Spade for it!" Adora said.

"Oh no, it truly was Spade that killed them, I merely manipulated the dark powers within him into believing they were his enemies." Tormal said.

"So let me guess." Richard remarked, crossing his arms. "Your grand plan is either to have Spade killed to take his place… or perhaps… you intend to drive him down the same path you went?"

"The latter." Tormal said. "And plunging all reality into the abyss. All because of you all driving me to that point in my reality."

"...What…!?" Gus exclaimed, not believing what he was hearing.

"Don't give this creep the time of day. He's just looking to psych us all out." David said.

"Oh, like that'll faze me. Believe me on that." Richard scoffed.

"Believe me or not, it doesn't matter. For now, just try to stop us if you can. I shall be waiting for you all." Tormal said before vanishing. "Nedris, please tend to our guests if you will?" his voice echoed as the cat-eared cloaked woman appeared before them.

"It shall be done." Nedris said, as a brand symbol similar to Natyal's appeared over her left wrist as her eyes glowed pink.

"Ah, time to get down to business." Zenos said. "Sentibug, Verde, you are free to do as you please. Shez, feel free to claim your revenge."

"You heard him. All forces engage." Shez said as he went for Byleth.

"Have fun." Zenos chuckled as he turned his gaze towards the Fatebreakers. "Hmm, a direct engagement would be suicide… but, I'm not the only one who wishes them dead. Am I correct, Queen?" the demon asked the Plague.

"So they showed up….those brats from Anima-City." Queen said. "Seems they're here for both our heads."

"Quite literally, in my case." Zenos said. "As I am in little condition to fight, you're free to exact your payback on them first."

"This is going to be a fun night. I have a few things I've been dying to try out." Queen said.

On the top of the skull dome, the Red Scabbards faced Kaido down.

"Wororororo… I think I've sobbered up." Kaido said. "If you want an all out battle, then this is the perfect open space."

"But there's more than one difference from that last battle." Inuarashi said.

"We had a feeling you wouldn't fight inside in your dragon form. So we have our own warriors." Nekomamushi said as multiple minks and Beastmen waited outside.

"The minks…" Kaido said.

"The snow is light…like flower petals. The purrfect night…to watch a full moon." Nekomamushi smiled.
