Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

Chapter 24 The Proud Beasts, Awakening of Conqueror's Haki

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What did you do to him? How could you make him hurt like this?" Yamato asked in utter astonishment.

Is this for real? Is the person in front of her really Kaido of the Beasts? The Kaido of the Beasts who, even after being beaten countless times and dealt with by the Navy and other pirate forces, wouldn't utter a sound even when his own spiked club hit his head?

Kaido looks like a third-rate pirate who's been beaten up, yelling and screaming on the ground.

“This is no ordinary pain; it is a torment of both soul and body, and this is the power of the demonic contract,” Rhodes said.

The reason why a demonic contract can bind demonic creatures is because it can bind their souls and cause damage to them.

As is well known, killing demons in the material plane is useless; these demons will be resurrected in the Twisting Nether or on Argus with the help of a Death Titan.

The Burning Legion's strongest force is Sargeras, but the second strongest force is not Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, but a certain death titan, Argus.

Therefore, if you physically harm a demon, you will absolutely not be able to destroy it. Physical torture is nothing to a demon, so a demon contract binds the soul.

The damage to the soul is extremely painful; it's a heart-wrenching pain. Kaido's current state is the normal reaction.

"What, do you also want to experience this heart-wrenching feeling? I can grant your request, Yamato," Rhodes said with a smile.

"You bastard! I, ah! ah! It hurts so much!!" Yamato instantly threw her spiked club to the ground, and then rolled around on the ground with her father, Kaido.

Please, I don't know anything about chivalry or showing mercy. In the world of Azeroth, the cruel reality taught Rhodes what cruelty is.

Only strength is worthy of trust.

However, Rhode's punishment of Yamato lasted only a short while before he ended the torment of the demon contract and restored her to health.

"This is just an appetizer; what your dad is really going to do is the main course," Rod said with a grin.

But to Yamato, that smile was the most terrifying and evil demonic smile.

"No, no! Please, sob sob!"

“Tell me, what’s your name? Is it still Kozuki Oden?” Rhodes asked.

"I, I am, it's me! Ah! I'm not begging you, I'm begging you to stop, I, I am Yamato."

"Oh, right, your name is Yamato, and you're a little girl, not Kozuki Oden. Remember that. Alright, get up! From now on, be a good little maid!" Rhodes gently patted Yamato's head and said.

However, in Yamato's eyes, this was the ultimate shock. Rhodes could clearly feel Yamato's body trembling.

"You, you damned brat! Ah! No, don't bully my stupid son!" At this moment, Kaido, despite the torment of the demon contract, actually stood up and roared at Rhodes through gritted teeth.

My own silly son, only he can bully him, that wretched little brat, it hurts so much! It really hurts!

“I must say, Kaido, you have surprised me greatly. Alright, get up. I have ended the bond of the demon contract,” Rhodes said.

Kaido is incredibly powerful. If you torture his soul with a demonic contract for a short while, he can recover in the future. However, if the torture lasts too long, it will cause permanent damage to Kaido's soul, and his strength will be greatly reduced.

"Huff! Huff! Huff! Stand up, you stupid son! Even if you're controlled by the enemy, you must maintain your dignity! Stand up!" Kaido roared, looking at his daughter kneeling on the ground, weeping.

"Ugh! Waaah!" Yamato wiped away his tears and got up from the ground.

This was the first time she had felt her father's love. Although her father had been cruel before and had even put bombs and chains on her, she had indeed felt Kaido's care.

"Boy, you can't control me with this kind of method. Even if you kill me, I will not accept your control. This is the pride of Kaido of the Beasts. A pirate who loses his freedom has no reason to live."

"So, Kaido of the Beasts, do you really want me to kill you?" Rod asked.

Kaido of the Beasts actually wanted to negotiate with him. But as Kaido said, the demon slave contract is indeed a form of torture targeting both the soul and the body, but if the other party is determined to die, Rhodes really has no way to deal with him.

"No! I don't want to die yet. I still have dreams to fulfill, so let's make a promise! I will serve you wholeheartedly for ten years. After ten years, if your strength surpasses mine..."

"Then I'll follow you, but if your strength remains the same, then kill me!" Kaido of the Beasts said.

He could tell that this kid named Rod was an ambitious fellow. He dared to attack him, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, so soon after his debut. This kid's audacity was simply outrageous.

A person like this would definitely not be mediocre on this vast ocean.

So he gave the kid 10 years. If he could become stronger than him within 10 years, then it wouldn't matter if he followed him.

However, if one's strength is insufficient to truly subdue Kaido of the Beasts, even in death, Kaido of the Beasts will not follow others or become their puppet.

"Hahahaha! Ten years? Kaido, you underestimate me too much."

However, I will still agree to this agreement. For the next 10 years, as long as you sincerely serve me, I will absolutely not use the power of the Demon Contract to bind you.

"And I will do everything I can to make you stronger. If I still can't beat you in ten years, then I will set you free," Rhodes said.

They obtained a cheat code that allowed them to travel through so many worlds.

How could I possibly lie flat?

How could I possibly be a salted fish?

The myriad realms hold endless opportunities and treasures, and countless ways to become stronger.

If I can't even defeat a mere Kaido of the Beasts in 10 years, then what face do I have to live?

What I want is for your entire pirate world to submit to me.

I want to be above all others.

Thinking of this, a surge of heroic spirit arose in Rhodes' heart.

At that moment, a powerful aura surged into the sky, and Kaido's eyes widened instantly—this was Conqueror's Haki.

This kid also has the potential to become a king, but that's not surprising, considering he dared to attack one of the Four Emperors of the New World and even succeeded.

It would be strange if he didn't have Conqueror's Haki!

Chapter 25 Teacher Kai teaches me the three colors of Haki online.

At this moment, the other members of the Beasts Pirates who had retreated below the track also felt this powerful Conqueror's Haki.

"A strange Conqueror's Haki, the aura is coming from the direction of Onigashima, it should be that kid!" Quinn said.

“Hmm! There are only three people up there: Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki, Yamato’s Conqueror’s Haki, and we all know that this unfamiliar Conqueror’s Haki should be that kid’s,” King the Wildfire said.

"To awaken Conqueror's Haki at this time, this newcomer might just be able to fill the last spot on our Flying Six." Black Maria opened her flower fan, covering half her face, and said.

"Want to go up and take a look?" Drought Jack asked.

"No need, Kaido is up there, there won't be any problems," King the Wildfire said.

He has absolute faith in Kaido's strength.

On Onigashima, after releasing his Conqueror's Haki, Rhodes was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that his conversation with Kaido of the Beasts would allow him to obtain Conqueror's Haki.

But that's not the key point. The key point is that I'm not even from this world. Do I really have Conqueror's Haki?

In the world of One Piece, Conqueror's Haki is a powerful aura, or rather, a qualification to become a king.

This ability cannot be improved through training; it only increases when one's own aura changes.

Despite the apparent abundance of Conqueror's Haki in the anime, it is actually extremely rare in the real world of One Piece.

Only one in millions possesses this power, and most people who make a name for themselves in the world do.

You may be strong, but you may not necessarily possess Conqueror's Haki. However, the top-tier individuals are definitely all possessors of Conqueror's Haki, at least because the power boost brought by being surrounded by Conqueror's Haki is simply too enormous.

But when it comes to the qualities of a king, is a king necessarily born that way? Some people are born kings, but others become kings through their own efforts.

Before he transmigrated, there was an old saying in Rhodes' hometown: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

Some people are born with the qualities of a king, while others become kings through hard work and effort.

Although Rhodes came from another world, he subdued Kaido in this world, which boosted his morale and caused his Conqueror's Haki to awaken.

In this way, I can also cultivate the three types of Haki.

"Hahahaha! I'm starting to have some expectations of you. Maybe in ten years, you really will be able to defeat me." Kaido sat up and looked at Rhodes as he spoke.

Seriously! How am I going to tell my men this? "Boss, I've just been taken down, and now I'm someone else's underling."

Damn it, Kaido of the Beasts can't bring himself to say something like that. Maybe he should just disappear along with this kid and let his subordinates think that he, Kaido of the Beasts, has gone missing.

"Kaido, could you please teach me Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki when you have some free time in the next few days?" Rhodes said.

Kaido of the Beasts is undoubtedly one of the most powerful users of Haki in the One Piece world. His famous line, "Haki is everything," is enough to illustrate how powerful Kaido's control over Haki is.

This kind of master with three colors of domineering aura is the real teacher.

"I understand, kid. If you want to learn, I'll teach you," Kaido said with a smirk.

“I thought you would say, ‘Does this kind of thing need to be taught? Just go out and fight, and you’ll naturally learn it, right?’” Rod said, looking at Kaido.

"Tch! There is such a method, but it will lead you astray in many ways. Back when I was an intern with the Rocks Pirates..."

"But I received a very orthodox and powerful training, and the person who trained me was that old man Whitebeard," Kaido said.

Comprehending the power of dominance on your own is one path, but having someone to teach you will undoubtedly save you from many detours.

“Yes! I need to study magic every morning and evening. From now on, you can teach me how to use the three types of Haki every noon and afternoon,” Rhodes said.

"I understand. By the way, kid, can we discuss something?" Kaido said somewhat hesitantly.

"Understood, Kaido! Go and gather your men! From now on, nominally, you'll still be the Grand Admiral of the Beasts Pirates, but in front of outsiders, I'll still call you Boss Kaido," Rod said. Given Kaido's pride, it was clear he couldn't accept being acknowledged as his master in front of all his subordinates, and neither could his men. So, let's just let things take their course!

In any case, controlling Kaido of the Beasts is equivalent to controlling the entire Beasts Pirates. Moreover, when they go to the world of Azeroth in the future, these members of the Beasts Pirates who are unaware of the situation will be easier to manipulate.

Even if these guys get captured and someone examines their brains or souls, they'll only get one answer: their leader is Kaido of the Beasts, not me, Rhodes.

"Hahaha! I'm relieved now, kid. From now on, I'll obey your orders in private, boohoo!"

"If King and Queen find out that I was tricked into becoming someone else's subordinate, I'll be so ashamed, boohoo!" Kaido said, and then burst into tears.

Holy crap! You're so different from that tough guy image you were just portraying, aren't you?

“Kaido, from now on, following me will bring you great benefits. Don’t even mention a mere Wano Country; I’d give you an entire planet in the future. You don’t think this world is just this ocean, do you?” Rhodes said with a smile.

"Uh! What do you mean by that?"

"The stories I told you before are all true; the Titans really exist."

I'm not lying to you. There are many planets in this world, and I come from another planet.

"You can think of it as another world. In the future, I will take you to see different worlds and let you gain the power of other worlds," Rhodes said.

"Haha, if you put it that way, that's really interesting," Kaido said.

An endless world? That would mean countless powerful beings! That's what makes it interesting!
