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

“No, he didn’t shatter space, but rather the air, creating huge cracks that made space appear broken. But in reality, he only shattered the air,” Rhodes said, shaking his head.

Just kidding, shattering space? That's outrageous! If he could really shatter space, then no one in this world, in the entire One Piece world, would be a match for Whitebeard. He could take care of everything with a single spatial dimensional slash.

"So it shattered the air; that's quite an explosive effect. The Death Knight you've set your sights on is him, isn't he?" Sylvanas said.

No wonder Rhodes valued this guy; he does have some strengths. With that kind of physical ability, he wouldn't be weak after transforming into a Death Knight.

"This old man's strength has declined a lot. He was much stronger back then," Kaido said with a sigh.

Kaido knew about Whitebeard's true peak fighting power. Although he was not as strong as he was now, he was still very powerful. Only that captain back then could restrain him.

"There are a few guys coming over there, behind Marine Headquarters. They must be the Blackbeard crew you mentioned, right? That guy is huge," Sylvanas said, looking at the Blackbeard crew hiding behind Marine Headquarters.

They were all monstrous in size, each over three meters tall, some even reaching over 180 meters! Truly terrifying height.

“Yes! They are the people we are looking for, Blackbeard’s gang,” Rhodes said.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield began to change again.

The Revolutionary Army's Lightning Scissors Fruit user used his power to pave a path for Straw Hat Luffy.

"Thanks, Lightning!" Straw Hat Luffy said with a grin.

"You're welcome! Let's go, Straw Hat Boy!"

Straw Hat Luffy nodded, rushed up the execution platform along the path cleared by lightning, and charged toward his brother.

A tall, strong old man in a white uniform blocked Luffy's way, and then the old man was knocked down with a single punch, staging a scene of Luffy letting loose.

"Hey! Are you kidding me! Even if Garp is old, he shouldn't be this useless, right?" Kaido's eyes widened instantly, and he said incredulously.

Even before he gained his evil powers, Luffy had to be careful when going head-to-head with Garp. How could Luffy, the Straw Hat, possibly knock a Marine hero away with a single punch? Are you kidding me?

“Straw Hat Boy is the son of Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, and Dragon is the son of Garp, so this kid is his grandson. Plus, the Fire Fist Ace who is about to be executed is Garp’s adopted grandson. Do you really think this old man will help?” Rhodes said.

"So that's how it is. The two of them actually have this kind of relationship. It's already quite good that the old man didn't betray them on the spot," Kaido said.

In this situation, it's already quite good that Karp stood there and put on a show, throwing a match.

However, the navy below didn't see it that way. The fact that their naval hero had been taken down in one blow dealt a huge blow to their morale.

"How could that be? That's Vice Admiral Garp."

"Damn it, Straw Hat Boy, is he really that powerful?"

Who is Garp, the naval hero? He's a vice admiral revered by all naval personnel, a legendary figure in the entire navy.

"Ace, I've come to save you." Straw Hat Luffy grinned as he stepped onto the platform and spoke.

At the same time, he took out the key that Empress Hancock had just given him, completely ignoring Sengoku the Buddha beside him, and prepared to unlock Ace's handcuffs.

"Enough already, Straw Hat Boy!" Sengoku the Buddha roared, his entire body emitting a dazzling golden light, and his size began to grow enormous.

"This, this is holy light? No, no, although this energy is also sacred, it shouldn't be the power of holy light." Sylvanas frowned as she looked down at the Buddha-like figure below, who was currently beating up the Straw Hat Pirates. Sengoku, the Buddha, spoke up.

"That's the diversity of Devil Fruits. Although they're labeled as devils, they have all sorts of abilities. There's nothing they don't have, only abilities you can't imagine," Rhodes said.

The abilities of Devil Fruits are simply outrageous, appearing in games, movies, anime originals, and manga originals.

It possesses all sorts of bizarre and outrageous abilities, including the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit) that grants immortality, the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Resurrection Fruit) that brings people back to life, and the Soul Soul no Mi (Soul Soul Fruit) that can manipulate souls and even shorten lifespans.

The Age-Age Fruit can change one's age, and the Toy-Toy Fruit can turn people into toys. So, there are only Devil Fruit abilities in this world that you can't even imagine.

However, some Devil Fruit abilities are extremely overpowered, but if you use strong Haki, you can counter these Devil Fruit abilities.

In the future, Law used powerful Haki to remove the ability to turn into a woman. Doc Q of the Blackbeard Pirates is a genius; he was able to research that disease that turns people into women once it's contagious.

If this were used on certain beings in Azeroth, I wouldn't say it would cause any harm, but it would certainly be extremely insulting. There's also Perona's Negative Spectre. I wonder if these abilities could be used on powerful beings in Azeroth.

For example, turning Illidan into a girl.

"This is absolutely outrageous! That guy down there who looks like a demon, he's using his ability to turn people into zombies, isn't he? That's a kind of ability to manipulate the undead." Sylvanas said, looking at Moonlight Moria below.

The eight-meter-tall fat man below is using his ability to turn some dead pirates and marines on the battlefield into zombies and then throw them into the battlefield.

This ability to convert the undead is comparable to that of the Scourge; it would be great if we could recruit such beings into the Forsaken.

"Yes! His name is Gecko Moria, and his ability is called the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. He has the power to manipulate shadows and can turn living people into zombies." Rhodes gave the Queen a brief explanation of the wonders of Devil Fruits.

"Hmph! This guy has wasted too much time. When I first met him, he wasn't like this at all. He could even hold his own against me back then! Now he's become such a dejected person," Kaido said.

Back then, this guy had the audacity to come to Wano Country and fight me for territory. Kaido and his subordinates fought a fierce battle with him.

The outcome of the battle goes without saying: Kaido's crew achieved a crushing victory, wiping out all of the enemy's subordinates and allowing this guy to escape with his life.

If it weren't for wanting to recruit this guy as his subordinate, he wouldn't have been able to escape Kaido's clutches back then. Seeing him again today, it's clear that this guy's strength has declined a lot!

Just considering his size, he's already become like that guy Queen. He's such a waste, giving up after just one defeat. Kaido looks down on guys like that.

Kaido of the Beasts has roamed this sea for decades, and has been defeated countless times, but never once has he been truly defeated as the strongest creature in the world.

In the end, it was Kaido who turned the tables and killed those who were stronger than him, had higher titles, and had larger territories.

"Rhodes, what do you think of this guy? His abilities should be very useful, right?" Sylvanas asked.

"You mean his ability to create zombies, right? You want to use his abilities to increase the number of Forsaken?" Rhodes asked.

"Yes! We Forgotten Ones cannot reproduce through conventional means."

"We will all disappear one day, and as the queen of the Forsaken, I must think of a way to prevent it from happening again," Sylvanas said.

“Then let’s capture him and take him back to Wano Country. Kaido, is that alright?” Rod asked.

A person can only eat one Devil Fruit. Sylvanas naturally can't eat his fruit, so why don't we try to subdue Gecko Moria?

"Tch! You brat, you really know how to cause me trouble. Leave him to me! I'll knock him out and then hand him over to you," Kaido said.

This guy must hate me to death! I'm so sorry! Kid, I'm going to torment you again, Kaido let out a chilling laugh.

The moonlight Moria below suddenly trembled all over, as if being stared at by something incredibly terrifying. He even hurriedly looked around.

"Damn it! How could I sense that guy's presence? Kaido, you bastard, once I've amassed a large enough zombie army, I'll definitely get my revenge on you!" Gecko Moria said through gritted teeth.

The other Shichibukai nearby were speechless. What's wrong with you all of a sudden?

At this moment, the situation took another dramatic turn. With the help of an undercover spy who possessed the Candle-Candle Fruit ability, Straw Hat Luffy miraculously saved Ace.

"Honestly, no matter what I say, you won't listen, Luffy!" Ace said, grabbing Luffy, who had turned into a child due to the side effects of Gear Third.

"Hehe! Ace!"

The two brothers started a battle royale mode.

Seeing that Ace had been rescued, the morale of the entire Whitebeard Pirates was greatly boosted.

"Now, I issue the captain's final order: my sons must leave immediately. There are no more ships to carry me in the New World." Whitebeard used his power to create a giant trench at Marine Headquarters, bidding a final farewell to his crew.

"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about? Come here right now, let's go back to the New World together."

“Let’s go, Ace. Whitebeard has already made up his mind,” Luffy said.

His body had reached its limit and he had to leave quickly.

"Hahaha! Whitebeard is nothing special, just a remnant of the old era. He has no right to compare with Roger; he's just a coward." Akainu began to mock him.

"Take back those words! You're not allowed to insult your father!"

Fire Fist Ace fell for the trap and a conflict broke out between them. The originally favorable situation began to reverse due to someone's momentary lapse in judgment.

"Ace!!"

With a scream of extreme pain, Luffy watched helplessly as Akainu unleashed his magma fist.

It pierced through Ace's chest in an instant, his mouth gaped open, and he lost his last bit of consciousness.

Rhodes, standing high in the air, chuckled. "What an idiot. Ace, you're trying to escape with Luffy right now."

That would be the right thing to do, and it wouldn't be a waste of Whitebeard's sacrifice. But it's good this way, otherwise Straw Hat Luffy would soon have to face the death of another crewmate.

After all, if Brook hadn't died, the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) couldn't have been extracted.

"Hey, you guys, look over there at the execution platform, there seems to be someone there!" A navy man suddenly widened his eyes and pointed into the distance.

"Alas! Have we been discovered?" A gigantic, exaggeratedly large giant spoke from behind the mountain behind the Marine Headquarters.

"That's the massive warship San Juan Wolf!"

"Hahaha! My men, it's time for us to make our appearance." Blackbeard laughed heartily, appearing on the battlefield with the top-tier pirates he had recruited from Impel Down.

"Hahaha! Old man, look at yourself now, you're a complete mess! The strongest man in the world that I once admired has grown so old." Blackbeard looked at Whitebeard in front of him and said with a mocking expression.

"Teach! You bastard, you're the only one I won't forgive!" Whitebeard roared in extreme anger.

"Hahaha! Dad, let me show you the power I've gained—the strongest dark power, capable of suppressing the power of all Devil Fruits," Blackbeard said.

A dark vortex appeared, seemingly about to devour everything, and even Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability was restrained.

“It’s about time we made our move. Kaido, didn’t you say you wanted to take Whitebeard’s life yourself? We can’t let someone else beat us to it,” Rod said.

"Hmph! Of course, Whitebeard's life is mine."

Roar!Roar!

With a deafening roar, a gigantic dragon head slowly emerged from the clouds.

Kaido of the Beasts has officially made his debut.

A long chapter of 4,000 words, more updates tonight.

Chapter 82 Kaido's Powerful Appearance, Rhodes' Pain Warlock Talent

This earth-shattering dragon roar drew the attention of everyone present, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki began to envelop the entire area.

Some of the weaker pirates or marines fainted immediately, their eyes rolling back in their heads.

"How did this guy get here?" Buddha Sengoku said with an extremely ugly expression.

Of the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts is the most troublesome one here; he's a complete madman.

"No way, what's that dragon?"

"Yes! That's right, it's that guy, Kaido of the Beasts, the strongest creature in the world of sea, land, and air."

"What the hell is he doing here?"

"Ah, isn't he in the New World? Damn it, how did he get here?" At this moment, everyone present held their breath, watching the enormous dragon descend from the sky.
