Suppress them with brutal methods to let them know that the dignity of the Four Emperors' pirate crew cannot be violated by anyone, and that even if they want to rebel and establish their own independent forces, they will have to wait several more years.
Lucky Roux, the fattest member of the ship, was more concerned about his captain's health. Ever since Shanks learned that Kaido was Joy Boy, the captain had locked himself in his room drinking alone. "The things revealed by the light screen were too much of a blow to him. Even if we tried to verify them, we couldn't disprove them. That's the most painful thing for him."
Shanks was alone in the room, leaning against the window, holding an empty wine glass in his hand. He looked completely drunk. He had drunk quite a bit by himself this time, trying to get drunk and forget the random thoughts in his mind.
"Did I really bet on that arm in the East China Sea?" Shangus was starting to lose confidence. Some of the information revealed on the screen shattered what he had been doing for years.
This laid-back Yonko is also a pitiful person waiting for Joy Boy. It all stems from the former Pirate King Roger. Although Shanks did not go to the final island Laugh Tale with the ship, he knew the outcome afterward.
Unfortunately, Roger died too early in the end. He wasn't the one One Piece was waiting for. Only when Joy Boy reappears in this world can that place be finally opened. This damned fate is something even the Pirate King can't escape.
Roger didn't have much time left to live. He surrendered to the Navy and started the Great Age of Piracy in order to speed up the process and bring Joy Boy to the scene sooner, so as to completely disrupt the world dominated by the Celestial Dragons. What the future would hold, whether it would be good or bad, was not something Roger, a dead man, could consider.
Shanks thought of Luffy again. Was he really the one the captain was looking for? Would it be a mistake to give the straw hat to the boy?
How could someone as brutal as Kaido be a liberation warrior? Has Joy Boy's original intention changed? The ideal of bringing freedom to everyone may ultimately be unable to withstand the pull of reality. On this sea, only the strong truly enjoy freedom.
"If you can respond to me, please give me more information. I want to see a scene of fighting Kaido. Perhaps in the future, I will go to Onigashima to confirm whether the other party is Joy Boy or not because of this news," Shanks muttered to himself in the room, deeply immersed in self-doubt.
The content of the light screen shook Shanks's beliefs. His becoming one of the Four Emperors was the result of a combination of factors. While waiting for Joy Boy, Shanks wandered around his own territory, cultivating his strength with loyalty as the bond, without doing much else. He was quite adept at putting on a show.
The fact that Kaido is Joy Boy is definitely not the first person to be upset, but Bartholomew Kuma, the Shichibukai known as a tyrant, is the one who is most unable to hold back.
At this moment, his body has been modified by Vegapunk and he has become a cyborg. His emotions have not been suppressed yet. He has gone to such lengths for his daughter Bonnie, following in the footsteps left by Joy Boy. Over the years, he has put in a lot of effort and has become quite proficient in Nika's dance.
The good deeds that Kuma has done over the years are countless. In terms of embodying Joy Boy's spirit, he is undoubtedly the number one person in the world. He has silently liberated many innocent people behind the scenes. Even in a place like God Valley, where there is a king-level decisive battle, he saved five hundred people as soon as he ate the Paw Paw Fruit. This kind-hearted man is the real liberator.
True liberation warriors: destroy the old era and establish a more perfect new era, possessing a fearless spirit of selflessness, and dedicating their lives to pursuing freedom; false liberation gods: destroy the enemy forces of their friends, disregard construction and subsequent events, hold a banquet, eat a big meal, and leave, shouting that they want to be the Pirate King.
Right now, I'm on an unknown island in the Grand Line. Marking this uninhabited island is one of Kuma's daily tasks, as it might come in handy later.
"Is the dragon's son really Joy Boy?" Bear recalled his visit to Windmill Town. He had been waiting for Joy Boy to appear, hoping to bring less slavery and more freedom to the world.
Just as he was lost in thought, an unexpected Den Den Mushi called, "Kuma, we need your strength. Go back to the first half of the Grand Line and help us defeat Kaido."
This call did not come from the Revolutionary Army. Kuma had left the Revolutionary Army many years ago and had not wronged them after working with Dragon for many years. The person making this call was Satan Saint, one of the Five Elders, a Celestial Dragon who had once made a deal with him.
“Give me the exact location, and I’ll be there right now,” Bartholomew Xiong agreed readily.
He thought he would have to spend a lot of time and effort, using his daughter Bonney as leverage, but Satan Saint on the other end of the phone was surprised that Xiong agreed so readily, which was quite unexpected for the Celestial Dragons.
The battle with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, might be extremely fierce. Before he completely loses his human emotions, Kuma wants to witness with his own eyes the name that has haunted his dreams all his life.
Is Kaido of the Beasts really Joy Boy? How will this legend of freedom, spanning eight hundred years, reappear and be presented to the world? Those who believe in destiny are eagerly anticipating this question.
Chapter 123 Robin and Kuzan
Crocodile felt like a complete traitor these past few days after being inexplicably beaten up by Admiral Kizaru, losing all his elite middle and lower-level personnel on Drum Island, and his target, Princess Vivi, escaping on the Straw Hat crew's ship.
Fortunately, none of the cadres he personally trained have been lost. As long as these skeletons remain, and he continues to recruit flesh and blood (bounty hunters) into the ruined Baroque Works, Crocodile will still be the beginner village boss in the pirate world.
During these few days on Drum Island, while waiting for the ship to pick me up, I watched the videos on the screen. The good news was that I hadn't heard from Crocodile five years later. The bad news was that I hadn't heard from Crocodile five years later either. The Navy had abolished the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the future, and Crocodile and the other Seven Warlords of the Sea all had bright futures.
Teach, a cautious man, immediately led the Blackbeard Pirates to steal a pirate ship and escape. Drum Island is no peaceful place. It wouldn't be surprising at all if he became one of the Four Emperors by stepping on his father's corpse in the future. This was a plan that Blackbeard had been planning all along, and the information on the screen was very reasonable.
Crocodile and Robin had only been at sea for a day and hadn't caught up with the Going Merry yet. The Going Merry should have arrived in the Alabasta Kingdom before them. If Admiral Borsalino hadn't released the ship when he was dealing with them, the Straw Hat crew would have had two more lives and still wouldn't have been able to leave Drum Island safely.
"I really want to see Sanji, the transvestite, and discuss the way of transvestites with him," Mr. 2 Bon Clay arrived with his ship to pick up the president and his group. During the trip, he was attracted by the figure of Sanji, the transvestite, on the light screen. Only transvestites can have common topics.
Mr. 1, his body wrapped in bandages, rolled his eyes. The Straw Hat crew were Baroque Works' mortal enemies, and this guy Feng even sympathized with their crew. "When you encounter that cook Sanji from the Straw Hat crew, you'll have to deal with him. He's not a transvestite yet, so meeting him will only disappoint you."
Mr.1 couldn't understand what kind of experiences could have transformed a normal man into a transgender person who loves to wear skirts over five years. Thinking about it from a darker perspective is truly terrifying!
Bon Clay simply admires Sanji's future transvestite lifestyle. A man of such loyalty and righteousness would not show mercy at crucial moments. On the contrary, the other woman on the ship is of questionable character, and there is always the risk of her betraying Baroque Works.
It's not Ms. Golden Week, nor is it Ms. Wednesday. She's the boss's partner and has now become the biggest hidden danger in Baroque Studio. This dangerous woman needs to be watched closely.
Robin knew she was unwelcome. Standing alone on the deck, she recalled the images on the screen in her mind. The image of her and the Straw Hat crew getting along so well made the devil's child feel somewhat unreal.
She was a woman who loved to laugh, though usually it was a forced smile. But the smile she showed on the Sunny, Robin knew was a genuine smile of happiness from the bottom of her heart. The sincerity of her companions was something this woman who had spent her whole life on the run could hardly imagine.
Living in a dark world, Robin is constantly at risk of being betrayed, but she always manages to escape danger through her wisdom. She pursues the truth of history on the high seas and searches for the lost historical texts, which is the only motivation for this woman to keep living.
"Robin, you're still my subordinate. That straw hat idiot isn't your captain yet. Recognize your current status. Only the Seven Warlords of the Sea can protect you on this sea," Crocodile said, approaching the woman and warning his partner. The woman wanted to switch jobs, but she needed Crocodile's permission.
Robin looked at Crocodile with a playful smile. This arrogant jerk, did he really not know or was he pretending not to know? The light screen had exposed the Devil Child's ability to decipher the Poneglyphs. How could a mere Shichibukai protect her? Did you ask the Navy for permission? Did you ask the Four Emperors for permission?
"Even if a Marine Admiral comes in person, I will not hand you over to him. Only you can decipher Pluton. I have waited too long for this day," Crocodile said with great ambition beside the dark-skinned beauty, casually making a boastful remark since no one else was around.
"I hope you won't chicken out then..." Before Robin could finish speaking, the nearby seawater froze at a visible speed, and the ships that were originally propelled by sails were instantly frozen in place and unable to move.
"He still came," Robin closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm her fear. She just hadn't expected him to come so quickly.
"How did the ship freeze? The sea is also frozen over!" Mr. 2 exclaimed in amazement. Looking into the distance, he saw a man riding a bicycle on the ice, heading towards the Baroque Studio.
Faced with this terrifying monster, no one dared to make a move. The cyclist leisurely rode to the side of the small boat and jumped onto the deck without any hesitation. The oppressive aura emanating from him made the other crew members on the ship feel suffocated.
"Robin, your journey ends here. Come back with me."
"It really is a Marine Admiral! We're so unlucky! We just encountered Admiral Kizaru a few days ago, and I..." Mr. 3, who was blinded by fear, was too noisy for Aokiji, so he directly froze the candle man completely.
The dark-skinned beauty walked towards Kuzan with her head down. No matter how unwilling she was, in the face of the absolute power of a Marine Admiral, Robin was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
"Wait," Crocodile grabbed Robin's arm. She was his future hope; how could he hand her over to the Navy so easily?
"Admiral Aokiji, I am a Shichibukai. She is an employee of Baroque Works. Even if Robin was wanted before, with the special powers of the Shichibukai, you have no right to arrest her. The Navy has not abolished the Shichibukai system yet." The future is the future, and the present is the present. The Navy does not currently have twelve Admirals. The order on the sea is still in the hands of pirates.
"Crocodile, this world is changing. Your vision and strength are too narrow." Kuzan exhaled a cold breath, freezing the arrogant Shichibukai into an ice block. So what if it's the Sand-Sand Fruit? There are strong and weak Logia types. Without strength, you're just an ant.
Seeing their leader instantly killed, the other loyal Baroque Works executives mustered their courage and stepped forward to challenge the Admiral. The one leading the charge was none other than Mr. 2 Bon Clay.
"Stop! Do you want to die with Crocodile? The Navy needs me!" Robin didn't want anyone else to be harmed. Kuzan was just carrying out a routine mission, and as long as no one unrelated to the mission provoked him, this Navy Admiral wouldn't easily take action.
The members of Baroque Works witnessed Robin disembark with Kuzan, her forlorn figure seemingly devoid of soul, becoming an emotionless walking corpse.
Chapter 124 Fanaticism
In contrast to the chilling atmosphere between the admirals and historians, Kaido was sitting on Doflamingo's merchant ship, and the atmosphere on the ship could be described in one word: fanaticism!
Originally Doflamingo's subordinates, they felt that joining Kaido was more promising. With his terrifying performance in the light screen, the image of the Four Emperors was deeply ingrained in people's minds. It was really lucky to be able to follow such a strong person.
Kaido enjoyed the drinks on the ship, getting quite drunk. The drinks did nothing to quell his frustration. He was convinced that he would become stronger in five years, but now his teacher had no clue what to do. And how could he get Joy Boy?
"Jin, tell me how I can get Joy Boy. Give me some ideas."
King understands why his boss always likes to drink alone. Kaido's strength hasn't increased significantly in recent years. He's already at his peak in terms of age and strength. If he can't break through his current state, his energy and spirit might not keep up with his strength and he might start to decline. Whitebeard is a perfect example of this.
"Joey Boy is related to the sun god. Why don't you spend more time in the sun and maybe you'll learn the techniques for the midnight sun?"
Kaido: "..." What kind of lame joke is "getting more sun"? The alcohol in my head has been completely sobered up by the cold, it would have been better not to ask.
Putting Joy Boy aside for now, the surname Kozuki has reappeared. Kaido still has some recollection of Oden's son. Back then, when he was choking Momonosuke by the neck, he actually managed to say that Kozuki Oden was the greatest samurai in the face of death. At that time, he really underestimated this little brat.
Kaido knows he has failed in his duty as the governor of the Beasts Pirates, having failed to eliminate the threat at its root. Five years from now, the island will inevitably be besieged by multiple forces, and the outcome is still uncertain. Onigashima must prepare in advance.
Since his future self had already tried to help him with the position of Shogun of Wano Country and the throne of disaster, but the other party still refused, with a sour face as if he was avenging his father, Kaido couldn't just give him the position of Governor of the Beasts Pirates. The position below him was unfilial and rebellious.
No matter how much of a jerk Yamato is, he's still his own son. It's not like Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, would be so generous as to not raise his own flesh and blood and let someone else's son take over.
Even if Kaido were to have a brain fart and agree to Momonosuke becoming his successor, the dissenting voices within the Beasts Pirates would surely cause a lot of trouble on Onigashima. The internal strife could eventually cause the power he had personally cultivated to disintegrate, and he dared not gamble on whether the three top commanders would leave as a result.
"Since your son, Kozuki Oden, is just as stubborn as you, there's no point in recruiting him. I will send Momonosuke to reunite with your family," Kaido said, downing the last bowl of sake in one gulp, emanating a terrifying killing intent.
The difference between the gains and losses is too great. Kaido's intentions coincide with those of King the Wildfire: "As long as he appears on our territory, I will personally witness his death and clear the way for our Beasts Pirates."
Lady Toki's prophecy came two years ahead of schedule, so let Momonosuke die sooner. Kaido must keep Wano Country under his control, and the bloodline of the Kozuki clan must be severed to clear the way for the future Beasts Pirates.
Momonosuke Kozuki also has a missing younger sister. This woman can't be let go either. Let Orochi handle this. If he can't even handle this small matter, then it's time for him to take over the position of shogun.
The two strongest fighters of the Beasts Pirates are still adrift at sea, unaware that their hometown, Onigashima, is currently bustling with activity. The only one who is not happy is Who's-Who.
"Quinn, you despicable bastard, you actually launched a sneak attack!" At this moment, he was being pinned down by a fat man, and the Plague was personally dealing with him. It was really giving Foz Fur a lot of face.
Queen, one of the three calamities, stayed behind at headquarters, while Jack the Drought went by boat to inspect the territory. Now he was in charge on Ghost Island, and everyone there had to obey Queen's orders.
"Who's Who, you bastard! You were taken in by the Beasts Pirates, and you don't even know how to be grateful!" Queen roared, grabbing Who's Who's Who's Who's Who and slamming his head against the ground.
Wortz, infected with the Queen virus, couldn't even use Armament Haki. He was so weak that he could only be slaughtered. His face under the bull horn mask quickly turned blue and purple, and his nose was broken during the torture, with blood covering his entire face.
The six strongest fighters are all gathered here, also known as the Flying Six. They watched Foz Fur suffer without any sympathy from the remaining five, and pushed him out of his position while many others waited to take his place.
The Beasts Pirates prioritize strength and fairness, unlike other pirate crews with rigid rules, which is why they are the strongest of the Four Emperors.
The blonde woman in the kimono with spider legs, Black Maria, saw this cruel scene and actually enjoyed the way the man was tortured to death. She added fuel to the fire, saying, "If you don't rebel today, you will one day. Keeping you in the Beasts Pirates will be a problem. Even if Lord Kaido comes back, he won't let you go. Who's-Who, die in despair."
The abused man still tried to defend himself, "Cough cough... I will not betray Lord Kaido. The World Government will not tolerate a traitor like me. Onigashima is the only place I can stay." Who's-Who coughed up a lot of black blood. He was really feeling very aggrieved.
"What would you do if Lord Kaido were Joy Boy?"
Upon hearing the name, Who's-Who immediately reacted with a prickly reaction, denying it: "Lord Kaido can't be Joy Boy, Luffy is the Joy Boy who ate the Nika Fruit, you've all been fooled by what's on the screen."
The Flying Six's ridiculous behavior drew laughter from the onlookers. Even at this point, they still refused to admit it, simply because they didn't want Captain Kaido to become Joy Boy. Who's Who really can't take a joke.
"Lord Kaido has obtained the power of the sun god. That power is so strong. I am fortunate to have served him. It is truly a blessing from heaven." Black Maria began to flirt with the crowd. As Kaido's personal cannon emplacement, she was naturally very happy that her man had become stronger. Who's Who opposed the captain being Joy Boy was also her way of going against her.
Women are all petty. Quinn wanted to send Foz Fur to prison as a laborer, so Black Maria simply suggested killing Foz Fur directly, which would solve the problem once and for all and save a lot of food expenses.
As Lord Kaido grows stronger, the Beast Pirates will become even stronger. In the light screen, Who's Who learns Polar Day Armament Haki. He even betrays his own crew by teaching the technique to a CP0 member, actively strengthening the enemy's power. He truly deserves to die.
Since Foz-Fox has learned a new form of Haki, the other Flying Six will enjoy the same treatment. In a world where the strong are respected, who can refuse to become stronger?
The Beasts Pirates are filled with anticipation and unprecedented fervor, wondering if the true members and their underlings will all learn the Polar Day technique and become stronger.
Although Lord Kaido is not Joy Boy right now, everyone else firmly believes that he will definitely obtain the power of the Sun God, and that everyone in the Beast Pirates will have a bright future.
Chapter 125 Black Carbon Snake
On Onigashima, the Beasts Pirates were gripped by a frenzied atmosphere, and the atmosphere in Wano Country became even more oppressive. In this country ruled by Kaido with violent means, all the benefits were reaped by Kurozumi's family, while the harm was borne by all the citizens of Wano Country.
