Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

The broadsword struck Zhang Shan's head, but it felt as if it had struck steel; it didn't even break his skin.

It even produced a clanging sound, the kind you only hear when steel clashes together.

Zhang Shan slightly raised his eyes and looked at the big guy in front of him.

"As expected of the number one reckless pirate, he dared to charge at me without even figuring out my strength..."

At that moment, Zhang Shan even felt like laughing.

Qiang~

With a slap, he deflected Jack's greatsword, then aimed his fingertips at Jack's abdomen, gathering white energy at his fingertips.

"Danger!"

Jack's Observation Haki alarm went off, and he tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

call out!

boom! !

The Cero was unleashed, creating a large hole in Jack's chest without any resistance. Due to the high temperature, Jack did not feel the slightest pain.

However, I always have a strange feeling when I breathe.

Yes, I do breathe, but I can't inhale or exhale properly each time.

Until the very last second before losing consciousness, Jack was still unaware of his own death; he had just raised his broadsword, about to bring it down on Zhang Shan again.

Unfortunately, he will never be able to do that move again.

Bang.

Jack's massive body fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this scene, Yamato, who had just arrived, was greatly shocked.

"They actually... took down Jack in one move!" Yamato stared blankly at the backs of Zhang Shan and the others for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Right! I'm here to challenge that bastard of a father! I can't let anything else distract me."

Yamato only knew that his father seemed to have some problems, and even the people guarding him were urgently transferred away, which gave him the opportunity to escape from the cage.

The first thing the filial son did after leaving was to upset his father.

However, Yamato did not encounter any members of the Beasts Pirates along the way, and did not even know where Kaido was.

Yamato's gaze lingered on Zhang Shan for a moment before he strode off again, heading straight for the top floor of the General's Mansion.

Having been a dutiful son for so many years, Yamato was quite adept at finding Kaido. Before Zhang Shan and the others could, he pushed open Kaido's door.

A strong smell of blood filled Yamato's nostrils, and he instinctively raised his hand to cover his mouth, staring at Kaido inside in disbelief.

Under Queen's treatment, Kaido has been stitched up, but now he is wrapped in layers of bandages like a mummy, and no longer resembles the once invincible Yonko.

Since Yamato has memories, the only time Kaido wore a bandage was twenty years ago, and it wasn't this serious.

That's why Yamato looked shocked and at a loss.

Just then, Zhang Shan led his men up the stairs, stood behind Yamato, politely patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Could you please let me pass? I need to talk to Kaido about something."

Turning around, he met Zhang Shan's cold gaze. Yamato shivered and involuntarily stepped aside.

Tapping.

Under King's wary gaze, Zhang Shan approached Kaido, calmly observing this Yonko of the New World.

"Hey, you injured one of my crew members. Let's discuss a solution."

Kaido was also watching Zhang Shan. He knew of Zhang Shan's reputation as a conman, after all, he was the one who defeated Akainu head-on, and no one on the entire sea would underestimate him.

"Hahaha, I underestimated you. I didn't expect one of your subordinates could so severely injure me." Kaido laughed loudly. "How about joining forces with me to take over this world?!"

"No interest." Zhang Shan remained calm, clenching his fist, and said to Kaido, "You want to conquer the world, to become a god, right?"

Kaido, who had just been nonchalant, suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Zhang Shan, and said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"

"What do you know? It would be strange if you didn't know anything after getting this far, right?" Zhang Shan asked again. "Since you know the method to become a god, why do you still submit to Kurozumi Orochi? Why not just take over Wano Country and make them your followers?"

"believer?"

Seeing Kaido's puzzled expression, Zhang Shan immediately understood.

After all this time, even Kaido is still in the process of figuring things out.

"Hahaha! The World Government has done a really good job keeping things secret. Even a Yonko like you doesn't know the conditions for becoming a god." Zhang Shan laughed heartily. He had initially thought Kaido was somewhat interesting, but now it seemed he had been overthinking things.

The World Government remains the behemoth that holds all the world's secrets. Even the Four Emperors, who are dividing up the New World, are completely unaware of the true secrets of this world.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Rocks back then was definitely stronger than Kaido is now. In fact, in the eight hundred years before Rocks, there must have been many talented individuals, and some of them were even stronger than the Four Emperors.

The fact that world governments have remained standing all these years says a lot.

Zhang Shan offered no explanation to Kaido, who looked puzzled.

On the way here, Zhang Shan was furious, but now that he was standing in front of Kaido, his murderous intent had calmed down.

Seeing Kaido's current state, Zhang Shan suddenly felt very guilty.

Over the past year, he had barely paid attention to Krillin's training. If he had been more attentive, Krillin certainly wouldn't have been so badly injured by Kaido today.

Just as he was about to say something, Quinn suddenly made a move and struck Zhang Shan with a palm!

"You bastard! You actually killed Jack!"

boom!

An explosion rang out, and Blue blocked Quinn's attack with a punch. His gaze was sharp as he coldly stared into Quinn's eyes and said, "Don't make a move recklessly, or you'll die."

After saying that, Blue's body suddenly grew to twice its size, and he used brute force to throw Quinn away.

He himself followed, and instantly engaged Quinn in battle.

Jhin was quick to act as well. After Quinn was thrown away, Jhin also made his move, swinging his three-meter-long sword, which was about to hit Zhang Shan.

"Hehehe! I can't let you interrupt the captains' conversation! Nika's power!"

A small, fair hand blocked Jin's greatsword. The moment they made contact, the hard greatsword suddenly deformed, as if it were soft rubber, and was molded into various shapes.

The next moment, the white-haired Big Bonney's other hand instantly grew larger, grabbing Jhin's body and carrying him away from there to fight in the sky.

Only Zhang Shan and his group, along with Kaido, remained in the room.

Kaido showed no alarm when his subordinates left.

He looked at Zhang Shan and said, "What is your purpose in coming to Wano Country? Are you here to take my territory?"

“No, seizing territory is just a side thing. To be precise, it’s about becoming the god here.” Zhang Shan said, “Don’t overthink it. You can’t stop me from doing whatever I want.”

Kaido sat up in bed. Despite his severe injuries and the excruciating pain of each breath, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of others, even though he was one of the Four Emperors!

At this moment, Zhang Shan asked again, "By the way, I heard you greatly respect Kozuki Oden?"

"Respect?" Kaido raised an eyebrow, then laughed loudly, "Don't be ridiculous! He's just a defeated opponent, what's there to respect?"

"Oh? That surprises me." Zhang Shan looked at Kaido's abdomen, where a cross-shaped scar was visible beneath layers of bandages.

Those were the scars left by Kozuki Oden twenty years ago. Even after twenty years, he would still look at the scars on his body from time to time.

Noticing Zhang Shan's gaze, Kaido wondered where the other man had heard his story. However, Kaido was in a good mood to chat with Zhang Shan, and he laughed, "Back then, my battle with Oden was interrupted, which is the regret of my life!"

But Zhang Shan showed him no respect, laughing as he said, "With your strength back then, you were no match for Oden. Although that guy wasn't very bright, his strength was undeniable. If you continue fighting Oden, you'll only be the one who dies."

"That way, at least we won't have any regrets."

Haha! I hope this is what you really think!

With a laugh, Zhang Shan unleashed a Cero, blasting Kaido away.

Boom!

An explosion rang out, drawing everyone's attention outside.

Kaido, covered in blood, crawled out of the ground, staring at Zhang Shan in disbelief, and asked, "What kind of power is that?!"

As expected of a top-tier powerhouse in this world, even when hit head-on by Cero, Kaido did not die instantly like Jack.

However, Zhang Shan suspects that this may be related to Kaido's abilities.

If he remembered correctly, Kaido's ultimate move was to cover his entire body in flames, transforming from a blue dragon into a fire dragon.

His spiritual power is characterized by high temperature, and the Cero he unleashes is also accompanied by high temperature, which is why Kaido tolerated it.

"The next blow won't be so gentle."

Zhang Shan walked out of the room and spoke with a cold smile.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try." Kaido laughed.

Boom!

A cyan dragon rose into the air, circling above, its bull-like eyes glaring at Zhang Shan below, roaring, "Kid! Let me see what makes you think you can conquer a man like that!"

Krillin's sword strike nearly killed Kaido, and given Kaido's personality, he clearly respects Krillin.

Kaido, who has come to respect the man he admires, now submits to Zhang Shan. He wants to know just how powerful Zhang Shan is!

"Really? You can still fight? That makes things less boring." Zhang Shan smiled as well, his body suddenly growing larger, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed Asura!

Upon seeing Zhang Shan's form, Kaido was startled and exclaimed in disbelief, "Shura? How could such a god-level fruit have fallen into the wrong hands?!"

"Of course it found me on its own! Enough with the nonsense, this time I won't use any power beyond my limits, just the power of this world, let's have a good, satisfying battle!"

After a moment of hesitation, Kaido had no time to think further, because Zhang Shan's fist was already coming!

"The Iron Fist of Justice!"

Suddenly, Zhang Shan's fist grew to tens of meters in size, imbued with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and struck Kaido with unstoppable force!

Kaido reacted instantly, his eyes flashing red, and a scorching aura gathered in his mouth and burst forth in an instant!

The iron fist slammed into the breath, shattering it with unstoppable force, and landed a solid punch on Kaido's face!

boom! ! !

With a single punch, Kaido's mouth twisted and his eyes slanted, and he saw stars!

The enormous dragon body was uncontrollably slammed to the ground, sliding for hundreds of meters before finally regaining its footing.
