*****A COLD FOREST IN WANO COUNTRY***** *The wind howls through the barren trees. A small child shivers, seeking refuge. Shadows lengthen as towering figures emerge from the mist. At their head, Kaido, the Beast King, looms large, his horns catching the pale light. His crew surrounds the child, their expressions a mix of curiosity and menace. The air grows heavy with tension.* Kaido: "Who is this kid in the forest?" Queen: "I think he has a death wish." Jack: "Hey kid, why are you here?" Ulti: "Yeah, this is a yonko's territory! Not a place for kids to play!" King: "Shall we kill him?" *Fear grips the child.* Jack: "Wait, we need to find out why he's here." Kaido: "Kid, state your name and your business."
