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

He is the most powerful mind in the pirate world. The Zoan-type Devil Fruit created by Vegapunk, the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, is truly perfect!

If only we could get our hands on that artificial Devil Fruit that Momonosuke ate. Apart from the wrong color, its abilities are basically a complete copy of Kaido's fruit.

Moreover, Rhodes had no interest in eating a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, especially one whose type he didn't even know.

"Zoan-type Devil Fruits are good things. Remember this, kid: in this world, only Haki and your own body are the most reliable things. Zoan-type Devil Fruits can greatly enhance your physical abilities."

"After awakening, your life energy will increase even more, and once covered with Armament Haki, your strength will increase significantly," Kaido said.

So, his special ability isn't a Devil Fruit power like they thought, and this kid doesn't seem to be afraid of seawater either.

"Boss Kaido! Can you help me identify what kind of Devil Fruit this is?" Rhodes asked.

This will be a good opportunity for Kaido of the Beasts to see what kind of Zoan-type Devil Fruit this is.

"Hahaha! You've come to the right person, kid. If it were any other Paramecia or Logia type Devil Fruit illustrations..."

"Our Beasts Pirates do have some shortcomings. But when it comes to Zoan-type Devil Fruits, there's practically nothing we don't know. Queen, go get the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and show it to this kid. Yes, if the fruit is good, let him eat it now," Kaido said.

"Alright, Kaido, wait here for a bit, I'll go get the Devil Fruit encyclopedia." Queen said, then turned and left.

Soon after, Quinn brought over a huge Devil Fruit encyclopedia, then took the Devil Fruits from Rhodes and began comparing them one by one.

"Found it, found it! It's here! The pattern, color, and shape are exactly the same. This fruit is called the Ox-Ox Fruit, Wildebeest Form. It can transform you into a creature similar to a bison. Well, it's alright!" Quinn said. (It roams all over Africa and looks a lot like a bison, but slightly smaller.)

The Ox-Ox Fruit in Wildebeest form? Okay! It's just a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit, neither from ancient times nor Mythical Zoan.

"Thank you, Mr. Queen, and Boss Kaido." Rhodes nodded and accepted his Wildebeest Fruit.

"This fruit is not bad, kid. Aren't you going to eat it?" Kaido asked.

This fruit is one of the Ox-Ox Fruits. Eating it greatly enhances one's abilities, and it ranks in the middle among Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

“Boss Kaido, I also possess a very special power. If I were to eat a Devil Fruit, I would only be interested in special Logia-type or Mythical Zoan-type fruits. I don’t care about other Devil Fruits,” Rhodes said.

Kaido was somewhat surprised to hear this. Was he kiding? This kid actually wanted to eat a Logia-type Devil Fruit or a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit? He didn't even want an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit?

Just kidding. In their Beasts Pirates, any Ancient Zoan is at the executive level, and this is just a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. He could easily be a serious fighter.

This kid hasn't even taken a liking to you yet, but it doesn't matter. Kaido doesn't plan to let him participate in the battle directly anyway. Such a research talent should naturally be well protected.

"Suit yourself, kid. If you don't want to eat it, keep it for yourself!" Kaido said.

Among his Beasts Pirates, many powerful members do not have their own Devil Fruits. This Zoan-type Devil Fruit is very sought after, yet this kid is unwilling to eat it!

"Quinn! Arrange a place for this kid to stay, prepare a laboratory for him, and assign him two bodyguards. From now on, this kid will live in Wano Country," Kaido said.

“I understand, Boss Kaido,” Queen said.

"Boss Kaido! In addition to these two items, I have a very special gift to give you when I pledge my allegiance to you. It can greatly enhance your strength, and even greatly enhance the strength of all members of the Beast Pirates." Rhodes said.

Now it's time for you to get your hands on the blood of the Abyss Lord; I've obtained a large bottle of it.

I'll immediately boil a pot of fel energy soup, then drip the blood of the Abyss Lord into it, and have a One Piece world version of a blood-drinking party.

It's time for me to make a cameo appearance as Gul'dan.

Kaido.

Quinn.

Chapter 14 Deceiving Kaido, at the Beginning of Creation

Que was a little surprised. This kid actually had something good. He hadn't mentioned it when he was with Tesoro or when Que came. Could it really increase Kaido's strength? Or even the strength of the entire Beasts Pirates?

"Hey! Kid, you're not kidding, are you? Besides this thing that can increase my Conqueror's Haki, is there anything else that can increase my strength?" Kaido's face darkened as he asked.

He quite admired this newcomer; anyone who took the initiative to come and join him would be a good subordinate of Kaido. However, he didn't like people who boasted.

If this kid dares to lie to him, he won't kill him, but he'll definitely get a lesson.

“I’m not joking with you, Boss Kaido. I once discovered an ancient ruin where I obtained a very special power, which is the power I use now, an ability that is in no way weaker than a Devil Fruit,” Rod said.

Come on! Kaido, look how fooled I've got you. Be a good boy and let me carve a demon enslavement circle on you.

As Rhodes finished speaking, a green evil energy appeared in his hand, looking quite eerie.

Upon seeing this green energy, even the mighty Kaido instinctively took a step back. Kaido's incredibly powerful Observation Haki allowed him to sense a trace of the danger posed by the evil energy.

This is a nemesis of life, a natural fear of fel energy by living beings. The fel energy discovered by the bronze titan Sargeras is no ordinary thing; it is a primordial energy of World of Warcraft.

Sargeras's strength was at the level of a planet destroyer; in terms of prestige, he was a cosmic god-level being.

Furthermore, Sargeras used fel energy to wipe out the entire Pantheon, which gives you an idea of ​​just how powerful fel energy is.

A sorcerer who has casually trained for a year or two can easily defeat a novice mage who has diligently trained for over a decade.

Of course, these warlock apprentices learn the Burning Legion's fel magic, not the version of warlocks developed by Aislas.

These two are fundamentally different. The Burning Legion has been researching fel energy for tens of thousands of years. And the humans of Azeroth—Illidan once wielded fel energy, which led to the creation of the Demon Hunters.

During the First and Second World Wars, some brilliant human and high elf mages studied the powers of warlocks, thus establishing the warlock school of Azeroth.

The Warlock school of Azeroth has only existed for less than 20 years, far less developed than the Burning Legion.

Rhodes is an entity that combines both, having learned the warlock abilities developed in the native world of Azeroth, and also learned the Burning Legion's control over fel energy from the fel lord Azodon.

"Were you fiddling with this special energy in the cabin earlier? Do you mean we can learn this special energy too?" Quinn asked.

This special green energy is exactly the same as that green healing stone, except that the energy in this kid's hand is even more sinister, giving him a feeling of facing a natural enemy.

The natural enemy of life!

"Hahaha! Kid, tell me your thoughts! I don't think you'd tell me this for no reason. You must have something that can move me, right?" Kaido said.

"Boss Kaido, the special energy I control is called Fel Energy, a power that comes from the distorted void. You should be able to sense the power of this energy."

This energy is called Fel Energy. To control this Fel Energy, one must first undergo its baptism and allow Fel Energy to flow through one's body," Rhodes said.

"How come we've never heard of this kind of energy before? What does this power have to do with the great kingdom from eight hundred years ago?" Kaido asked.

This world has a 100-year gap in its history, but the earliest history can only be traced back to more than 800 years ago, to the legendary great kingdom of Joyboy.

"No, no! Boss Kaido! What I'm about to tell you might overturn your understanding of the entire world. I would like you to be prepared to listen to a very, very long story, a story from the beginning of creation, a journey of the Titans of creation." Rhodes opened his arms and spoke to Kaido.

In fact, the First One is the true creator god, but Rhodes does not intend to reveal too much about the First One.

"The story of the beginning of creation? You're not going to tell me it's the story of the Celestial Dragons, are you? Those guys claim to be descendants of the creator, and they even call themselves gods," Kaido said.

“No! This story begins hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago, at the beginning of the universe, when the First Ones caused various planets to be born one after another,” Rhodes said.

"Wait, what kind of planet are you talking about?" Kaido asked.

“Boss Kaido, I’ve heard Vegapunk mention this before. He said our world is a giant sphere, and there are likely countless such spheres, or planets, outside of it,” Queen said, standing to the side.

Thanks to the advanced maritime industry, many humans in the One Piece world understand the concept of planets, but only to the extent that they know they live on a sphere. As for some speculations about space, only a few top scientists know about them.

"Oh! This is getting more and more interesting, kid, continue!" Kaido said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

“Countless planets have been born in the universe. Among them is a planet called Aman'thul. This planet developed self-awareness, and from within the planet, an extremely powerful life form called Titan was born. They possessed immense power, and planets were like toys to them. A Titan could destroy a planet with a single blow,” Rhodes said.

In the Warcraft Chronicles of Azeroth, Sargeras cleaved a planet in two with a single sword strike, killing a Titan corrupted by the Void.

"Wait, are you kidding me? Destroying a planet with a casual strike, does that mean he can destroy our world with just one attack?" Kaido asked.

Hey! Hey! Hey! This is a bit too much, isn't it?

Do such powerful life forms truly exist in this world? Born from a planet, capable of easily destroying it—this is the world as Kaido understands it.

Does that mean there is such a terrifying life form in their world? If such a life form truly exists, what would happen if it were to awaken?

What will happen to these pirates and marines?

You can watch with peace of mind now that we've signed a contract.

Chapter 15 The Titan of Creation, Tempting Kaido to Embrace Fel Energy

“Don’t worry, Boss Kaido. The conditions for the birth of Titans are extremely harsh. Out of tens of thousands of planets, there may not be even one that can give birth to a Titan. Only when a planet gives birth to a planetary soul can it be qualified to become a Titan,” Rhodes said.

In the world of One Piece, there are no Titans. However, in other universes, if a planet develops consciousness, it can be considered a Titan in a strict sense.

For example, the Celestials in the Marvel universe—of course, the Celestials in the cinematic universe, not the Celestials from the comic book versions.

However, the Celestials in the movie version, although they only appeared once, were still incredibly visually stunning. Their enormous bodies, which covered the entire planet, were born from a life-bearing planet just like the Titans. If they were in the world of Azeroth, no one would believe that they weren't Titans.

The only difference is that the Titans of Azeroth are born from within the planet, while the Celestials are grown from Celestial Seeds.

But who can truly explain the cause and effect? ​​Were these Titans, born from within the planet, truly born from the planet itself? Or were they born from seeds planted by the First Ones?

In essence, they are exactly the same as the Celestials of the universe; they are all creations of a supreme god.

In addition, the planetary spirit of the Final Fantasy VII world can also be considered a Titan.

But Rhodes is too weak to explore these things right now.

"That puts my mind at ease. But are you telling the truth or not? You're not lying to me, are you?" Kaido asked.

“I won’t lie to you, Boss Kaido, because this power of fel energy was created by a Titan, and the most powerful Titan at that,” Rhodes said.

“Then continue! I’m getting more and more curious about your story,” Kaido said.

"After Aman'thul was born, he began to wander around the universe. Then he discovered a second life form that was exactly like himself. This life form was called Sargeras, who was also a powerful bronze titan."

The two Titans continued their journey through the universe, searching for planets where Titans could be born. Gradually, they found more and more companions, and these Titans formed an organization called the Pantheon.

"They are Aman'Thul, the Father of the Gods; Sargeras, the Guardian of the Pantheon; Eonar, the Life-Binder; Gorgonath, the Lord of the Raging Tides; Khaz'goroth, the World-Shaper and Builder; Norgannon, the Guardian of Magic and Knowledge; and Aggramar, Sargeras's Lieutenant," Rhodes began.

“Are these Titans really that powerful? Why have we never heard of them in our world?” Quinn asked.

“If the Titans really existed, and were that powerful, there would be no way there wouldn’t be any ruins left behind when they came to our world,” Kaido said.

If such powerful life forms exist in the universe, they would definitely leave a record if they came to a planet.

"Boss Kaido, don't be in such a hurry! The story isn't over yet! After the Pantheon was established, these powerful Titans began to roam the universe. When they discovered a planet with life, they would make it prosperous, eliminate the forces of chaos and the void, and establish an orderly world."

In the Twisting Nether, a state of utter chaos was born. This evil life form is called the Demon. The Demons are the very embodiment of chaos, wreaking havoc and killing in all directions.

So the Pantheon, as the maintainers of cosmic order, declared war on them. The mighty Sargeras led the members of the Pantheon, nearly defeating all the demons and sealing the remaining ones on a planet.

“This seems like a happy ending,” Quinn remarked.

"No! This is only the beginning of the disaster. A brand new force is beginning to corrupt this world. This force is called the Void. The Void is sending ancient gods to inhabited planets and corrupting their cores."

Sargeras corrupted a Titan still in its nascent stage in the universe. In his rage, he cleaved the planet in two with his sword. Although he destroyed the power of the Void, the Titan still in its gestation phase also died.
