I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 285, Section 284: Zou and the Red Stone!
"It seems you haven't grasped the situation yet, Mr. Kaido."

Moses looked at him and smiled faintly:
"You lost this duel."

Kaido's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at Moses with displeasure, saying:

"This is my family matter, it has nothing to do with you."

Mercer glanced at her, then went to Yamato's side and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Excuse me, Yamato is my woman."

"Am I right?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yamato.

Yamato blinked, blushed, and nodded, then looked at Kaido with a displeased expression:
"Have you forgotten? Before I left that time, you called me over and ordered me to marry Moses."

So I've been Moses' woman for a long time, you said it yourself.

I didn't object at the time, and you were actually quite happy about it.

Moses looked at Yamato in surprise. He didn't know about this; Yamato hadn't mentioned it.

Kaido cursed with a dark face:
"I've changed my mind. I'm not marrying her."

Moses looked at him and said calmly:

"That's not up to you. You can't beat me. You're a pirate, so you don't even have a place to report to the police."

"Mr. Kaido, keep your promise and take Onigashima to another place."

At that moment, the Three Calamities appeared not far from Ghost Island, and King roared:

"Damn it, let go of Kaido!"

Jack's eyes turned red:

"damn it."

Jhin and Jack instantly transformed into half-beasts and charged forward, while Quinn deliberately slowed down a beat, looking flustered.

Moses watched this scene and laughed.

A gray mist spread across her body, and a figure vanished in a flash. The next instant, Runti appeared beside Jack.

The gleaming diamond right fist, brimming with domineering force, slammed into Jack's cheek.

With a loud bang, the shockwave spread out, and Jack was sent flying backward.

At the same time, Messer watched as Jhin flew towards him, a blinding crimson arc of electricity crackling around his right fist.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the path of Jhin's advance and punched him in the face from a distance with his fist crackling with crimson electricity.

Boom!

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki pierced through his mental defenses, causing him to pause for a moment before shooting away as a blur at an even faster speed.

After flying hundreds of meters backward, smashing through stone pillars, he finally collapsed in the rubble, his eyes rolled back and his face covered in blood.

The next second, the figure appeared in front of Quinn, who was a beat slower, as if in a flash, and saw him with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.

His body was crackling with lightning.
He slapped him across the fat face, sending the chubby man flying like a ball.

ah.
With a single scream, its figure bounced up and down in an arc from the ground, plummeting from the sky above the ghost island.

Aaaaaaah!

Jack transformed into a beast and used his trunk to attack Runti repeatedly, but Runti kept teleporting.

Each punch carried lightning, each punch piercing his thick-skinned body with terrifying force.

Jack was completely unable to catch Runti at this moment and could only stand there and take the beating.

After glancing at her, Mercer ignored Runti's fight. Beating up Jack would make her feel better.

Slowly approaching Kaido, and seeing him standing up, his face dark and silent, Moses asked:
"Have you decided?"

Kaido felt a little upset.

However, his mind was not on this, but on his own body. Apart from being tired and weak, he felt comfortable.

His body was as if it had never been injured.

He looked at Moses with a probing gaze, "How did you do that?"

Yamato said unhappily, his face dark:

“That’s right, I didn’t want you to die by my hand, so I had Mercer heal you.”

Give me a quick answer, are you coming or not?

As he spoke, he gripped the spiked club tightly, clearly intending to swing it again and beat him up at the slightest provocation.

Kaido watched this scene, his eyes flashed, and he smiled:

"Orororororo".

As expected of her daughter, she would beat anyone who dared to defy her with a spiked club.

“In this world, the strong hold a high position. This time, you are the strong ones. I’m leaving.”

Laughing wildly, it transformed into a thousand-meter-long azure dragon, swirling and dancing in the clouds.

Immediately, layers of black flames spread out, enveloping Onigashima. The next moment, with a rumbling sound, Onigashima was uprooted, and Kaido flew into the sky with his lair.

The ferocious dragon head slid down, looked at Moses, and burst into maniacal laughter:

“Kid, Yamato has my ghost blood flowing through her veins. As long as you’re with her, you’ll never be able to erase my mark from your body.”

As the cold dew appeared and grew larger, Messe, with Yamato by his side, stood on the sword and looked at him calmly, saying:

"Do you think I care about that kind of thing? I've always only cared about Yamato, not you."

Kaido's eyes flashed with displeasure. Did he look down on him? He always had, unwilling to be his son. What a pity.
He then looked at Yamato and said, "You've won this time, Yamato. Wano Country is yours now. What you do with it from now on is up to you."

Goodbye, Yamato. "

They flew towards the distant Ghost Island.

A soft "Runti Shua!" appeared on the sword.

Yamato watched silently as Kaido led his stronghold away.

Feeling somewhat dejected, Mercer said indifferently, "What's wrong? You seem quite unhappy."

Yamato slapped his cheeks with both hands, stood on the sword, and looked down at the six small islands of Wano Country.

“I have fulfilled my promise. Now, let them handle the matter of establishing the country themselves. Mercer, let’s go.”

"Aren't you going downstairs to take another look?"

Moses chuckled and said, "I am Kaido's daughter, and we are natural enemies."

They probably wouldn't like me anyway, and I don't need their approval. I've already fulfilled my promise to Shimotsuki Gyuwan.

Mercer laughed and said, "Is that all?"

Yamato: "That's fine."

"Okay, let's go."

Controlling the dew, Messer carried the two of them away into the distance.

That elephant should be roaming in the waters near Wano Country.

……

Ghost Island flies in the sky.

Kaido was eating meat heartily in the restaurant to replenish his energy.

The three calamities beside him all looked haggard. Kaido said calmly:
"Why are you all looking so gloomy? Do you think we've been driven away like stray dogs?"

"Brother Kaido."

Kaido waved his hand to interrupt them, completely unfazed, and said arrogantly:
"I've failed before, but failure isn't scary. I'm not giving up."

"Let's talk about it again."

"Ororororo!" Kaido burst into maniacal laughter. "I actually lost to that brat, Mather."

Jin opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Kaido glanced at him and said calmly:
"I'm not wrong, and you don't need to think that I can't accept the fact that I was defeated by Yamato."

That rebellious woman was beaten so badly by me seven days ago that she couldn't get up, but suddenly, as if she had taken some kind of powerful medicine, her body healed itself in every way, and her strength was fully restored.

Then they completely exhausted me, is that normal?
Awakening based on just one fruit?
I don't believe it. It must have been that kid who did it, because he easily healed my seriously injured body.

"It's not shameful to lose to him; even that old man with the white beard was beaten unconscious."

King: "Brother Kaido, where do we go next?"

Kaido pondered for a moment and said, "Let's find an island within our territory to settle Onigashima first."

At this point, he looked at Quinn and asked, "How's your research on the evolved plant IQ that Hanafza brought back coming up?"

Upon hearing Kaido's question, Queen was immediately shocked. His boss, Kaido, actually cared about such a thing. He quickly explained:

"That plant is actually real. I used lineage factor technology to extract and cultivate it to obtain a drug that can indeed allow humans to evolve in the direction they desire."

Kaido nodded upon hearing this. "Was the experiment a success?"

Quinn laughed excitedly, "After my modifications and mental suggestions, those test subjects have all evolved some strange animal characteristics."

Several special test subjects also evolved a fire ability.

Kaido's eyes flashed, and he said calmly:
"Give me the injection. My failure means I'm not strong enough, so it's time for me to become stronger."

Queen stared at Kaido in disbelief, but then instantly became fanatical.

Kaido's gaze hardened.

Considering Mercer's power.

Forget about Joy Boy; he stopped thinking about those pointless things.

Become Joy Boy? Ridiculous! I am Kaido, the strongest creature in the world, the Azure Dragon Kaido.

Even the rebellious daughter has recognized her own identity, so if the father still yearns for that bullshit, ethereal Nika legend, wouldn't that be too ugly?

Is it the concept of a dragon?
Then let's truly evolve into dragons, both physically and mentally.

At that moment, Kaido felt his blood boiling.

Oh, lol, lol—

A terrifying aura of dominance emanated from his body.

King's eyes narrowed instantly, Jack's mind went blank for a moment, and Queen broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that Kaido seemed to have changed a little.

It is a beast that has broken free of its cage, no, it is a dragon that has broken free of its restraints.

Its ultra-wide-range Observation Haki scanned across the vast expanse of sea, indicating a purposeful search.

three days later.

In the perceived scene, four gray-black elephant legs appeared in the ocean dozens of kilometers away, disappearing into the clouds.

Mercer piloted Cold Dew forward.

The three of them set up a pot on the Cold Dew solar term and ate a spicy seafood hot pot. Runti kept slurping, her face flushed red.
"It's so spicy! But it's also so delicious!"

He grabbed the chilled fruit wine next to him and took a big gulp.

Yamato continued eating nonchalantly, seemingly unaffected by the events in Wano Country.

The promise has been fulfilled, and the shackles of self-imposed limitations have been removed.

The awakening of the fruit brings a sense of complete clarity to both body and mind.

With his cheeks bulging from stuffing food, Yamato picked up his wine glass and looked at Mercer:
"Méser, cheers!"

Mercer smiled and clinked glasses with her.

He downed the drink in one gulp.

Now that they had found it, there was no rush to go there. The three of them feasted on the sword.

Enjoying hot pot while admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea.

Yamato's eyes gleamed with a hint of starlight as he glanced at Mercer from time to time and chuckled.

This is freedom: to be with the people you love forever and to explore every beautiful spot on the ocean.

The delicious food is finished.

Hanlu flew high into the sky and landed on the back of the giant elephant Zou.

Moses' Observation Haki enveloped the giant elephant's back, sensing the scenes within: cats and dogs, and various furry creatures.

There is also the view inside a cave.

The giant sword slashed across the sky.

We arrived at a forest of giant trees shaped like whales.

It traced an arc through the air and disappeared straight into a cave in the whale tree in the forest.

Outside the Whale Tree, the Mink guards watching over the Whale Forest only saw a dark shadow flash by.

A buffalo man and a chimpanzee man stared in disbelief at the scene.

The next moment, Buffalo Roddy shouted in panic, "Are you an intruder?"

Black Buck, the chimpanzee, showed anger on his face, clenching his fists and pounding his chest repeatedly.

"Quickly sound the alarm."

A few seconds later, the piercing alarm that echoed throughout Zou was sounded.

The three of them stood deep inside the tree hollow, looking at the square red stone in front of them.

The main text of the history of the Red Army.

"Identification"

Item rating: B
Mercer reached out and pressed down on it, stealing the credit.

[Merit Points +10000]

Looking at the red historical text on the road sign in front of him, Moses chuckled, and Yamato winked:
"Méther, it's those square stones again, but this time they're red. Robin, who likes these, will be very happy to see them, won't she?"

Moses began to speak:
"There are four pieces of the Roadmark History. Once you collect them all, you will get the coordinates to Laugh Tale."

Runti exclaimed in surprise, "Pirate King? Mercer, you want to become the Pirate King?"

Moses shook his head: "I'm not interested in that kind of thing. Laugh Tale? What a joke."

Runti was completely bewildered:

"Can't understand."

But he quickly stopped caring:

"Then what brings you here?"

Moses said calmly:
"Take it with you. I want to see if any pirates will come to us in the future and ask us for this stone."

Runti burst out laughing and shook the arm she was holding onto Messe:

"You're so mean! If you do this, the puzzle will never be complete, and One Piece will never appear again."

Mercer said calmly, "Who knows? That place is just impossible to find by ordinary means. Maybe some lucky person will find it by themselves."

The gray fog swallowed this piece of historical text.

It is contained within a small world.

Moses laughed:

"Let's go, there's no need for us to stay here any longer."

"Alright. But the Mink Tribe here is quite interesting. I just sensed two other auras similar to Jack's."

Yamato said to Moses.

Runti raised an eyebrow and asked Yamato:

"Really? Then I'll go find them and have some fun. No, they've already come looking for me."

Without Runti saying anything, more and more fur tribesmen had appeared outside the tree hole, and the three of them arrived at the entrance of the tree hole.

next moment.

Dozens of fur-bearers surrounded the tree hole.

The leader was a man wearing a burgundy cloak, a noble duke's attire, a red-collared helmet, and dog-head sunglasses.

Upon seeing Moses and the other two, his eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, widened suddenly and then contracted again. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Thunder Emperor!"

Moses looked at him and smiled:
"Are you the ruler of this country? What is your name?"

The kobold looked tense. "I am one of the two kings of this country, Duke Dog Storm. Why are you here?"

Moses said calmly, "Take something that doesn't belong to you."

Inuarashi's pupils dilated, and he bared his canine fangs:

"You can make a copy, but you can't take the stone away. That stone belongs to us."

Moses said calmly, "If the World Government knew that there was a red landmark stone among the Mink Tribe, do you think the Buster Call would be issued over this elephant's back?"

Inuarashi drew his sword, his gaze resolute:

Even if you die, you cannot take away the stone that belongs to us.

Moses looked at him coldly, "Are you prepared to die?"

Inuarashi gritted his teeth and nodded seriously.

The next instant, Moses appeared in mid-air in front of him, his left hand cupping his face.

Boom——

A ten-meter-diameter pillar of lightning shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a ring of lightning, accompanied by a buzzing sound, spread outwards.

Ah ah ah ah ah
One by one, members of the Mink musketeers were knocked away by the impact.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

As the lightning dissipated.

Looking at the large, brown-furred dog lying on the ground, its body charred and barely breathing, he said calmly:
"Brainless thing."

At this moment, Runti appeared beside Messer, looking coldly at Inuarashi lying motionless on the ground:
"Mercy, aren't you going to kill him?"

Yamato then stepped forward, a look of doubt in his eyes, and said to Moses:
"This guy looks a lot like one of the Nine Red Scabbards of Kozuki Oden that I met when I was eight years old."

Moses shook his head. "Let's go."

Yamato nodded.

The three of them, including Moses, left the place.

It sat on the cold dew and soared into the sky.

At that moment, an aged voice came.

"A terrible man."

"Fortunately, he had no ill intentions towards the fur tribe."

"It's good that you're gone. Hurry up and leave."

The Cold Dew Sword paused in mid-air, then turned and came to the giant elephant's front, looking at the eye sockets that were like black holes, and one of the huge, turbid eyeballs.

"Were you just speaking?"

"What? This human can hear me?"

"That's right. I heard you speak."

By observing brainwaves, one can clearly understand its thoughts.

The giant elephant fell silent and pretended to be mute.

Mercer shook his head in disbelief. Sure enough, the old man was quite boring.

I'm too lazy to deal with it anymore.

The Cold Dew Sword carried the three of them as it flew into the distance.

Whale Forest.

A large orange cat ran over with its minions and saw its companions lying on the ground.

It let out an angry, strange howl.

Half a day later, Inuarashi woke up, his body wrapped in bandages. As soon as he woke up, he heard a familiar mocking voice:

"You stupid dog, you're pretty tough. Tell me, who stole the redstone, and who beat you up like this?"

Inuarashi remained silent for about ten seconds, and just as the big cat was getting impatient, he opened his mouth:

"It was that guy Lei Di. I couldn't react at all and was beaten to the brink of death in an instant. If he hadn't spared my life, I might be dead by now."

"Cat Viper, what should we do?"

Inuarashi was completely bewildered:
How did he know that there was redstone here?

The cat viper looked furious, muttering curses under its breath. After a few minutes, its shoulders slumped, and it said helplessly:

"Meow doesn't know either. That kind of monster that can defeat that white-bearded old man is not someone we can afford to mess with."

If things go wrong, this entire country could be destroyed.

Inuarashi gritted his teeth:
"forget about it?"

The cat viper was speechless.
"You were almost killed in one blow, so what's the point of me going with you?"

Useless.

he knows.

But he was unwilling to do so.
