Inside the basement, both Oden outside the cell and Queen and King, who were imprisoned and bound with seastone chains, were completely bewildered.

Queen twisted his large head, looking at Kaido's corpse, which had just been killed and whose chest wound was still steaming, and then turned his head to look at the naked Kaido outside.

What's going on?

A miraculous transformation?

Jhin, standing nearby, was equally dumbfounded, but he was thinking a little more deeply than Quinn.

Doing all this in front of them clearly shows that this newly created Kaido boss is definitely not just a similar-looking person.

But what exactly is this power?

It can actually bring the dead back to life?

wrong!

Jhin and Quinn exchanged a glance, both recalling Roger, who had fought Quinn on the battlefield before.

The sheer amount of Conqueror's Haki that Rayleigh unleashed, along with his already peak Observation and Armament Haki, made it clear from Rayleigh's attitude that the guy was indeed Roger.

But the whole world knows that Roger was executed in Loguetown four years ago.

Resurrect the dead!

Control the dead!

Is this the solution this guy came up with?

"here……"

Kaido, who had just opened his eyes, was a little confused. After being pierced through the heart by a flaming blade, which burned all his internal organs, he found himself in a room as soon as he regained consciousness.

It was a very ordinary room with a bed and a desk. After going out, you would find yourself in a narrow passage, and after going out again, you would be facing a high platform.

There was more than one such passageway. In one of the other passageways, as soon as you opened the door, you could hear heart-wrenching screams, and even someone calling for their mother.

Even as a vicious pirate, he had never heard such a heart-wrenching wail and plea.

After entering the passage, he followed the sound of wailing and found the cell where he was being held.

The black flames enveloped the person, who showed no signs of injury, yet he could see extreme pain emanating from the constantly writhing soul.

And those black flames reminded him of the black flames in the masked cloaked man's fire, the kind that caused his defeat and shook his very soul.

Driven by natural restraint and fear, Kaido took a step back.

This was not because he was cowardly, but because of the fear brought about by the natural restraint of the black flames of the soul in front of him.

The next moment, Kaido's soul disappeared from the spot.

When his consciousness returned, Kaido found that he was no longer bound by the Seastone and that the masked bastard who killed him was right in front of him.

Thunder...

Kaido, who was just about to deliver a blow to Kevin, froze on the spot.

He...couldn't bring himself to attack Kevin.

How could this happen?

"You want to attack me?"

Kevin chuckled softly: "But as the one who resurrected you, do you think I wouldn't have any backup plans?"

Kaido's eyes widened: "What kind of Devil Fruit power is this? How is this possible! Reviving the dead? This is a power that the entire world would never allow!"

Despite the roar, Kevin calmly replied, "Haven't you already seen Roger? Why do you still have doubts?"

Roger?

Kaido was stunned. He remembered his previous battle with Queen, where Roger was practically unkillable.

and so……

"That's right. Although your Devil Fruit power has disappeared, the Haki that has awakened in your inner spirit and will still exist, as long as you continue to stick to your heart."

Kevin continued, "In this state, your physical strength is naturally not as good as your original special physique, but you still have a body that cannot be completely killed, and an infinite amount of stamina."

At this point, Kevin looked at King and Queen: "One of you needs to work in my research department, and the other needs the ability to fly and the combat skills. Kaido is still alive, and neither of you can betray him."

"MADS was destroyed by the World Government, and the Lunaria race is a race they do not allow to exist. Your position is on the opposite side of the World Government, plus Kaido, and this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cage opened, and Kevin slapped the two of them.

Two black [Fire Seed] coordinates fell, and Kevin said, "Don't use your domineering aura to attack them. I will sense it the moment before the marks disappear and immediately label you as traitors."

At this point, Kevin's gaze beneath the mask grew increasingly cold: "Believe me, death is not the end for me. The end for those who die here is when their souls suffer endless torment and vanish into nothingness."

Kevin looked at Kaido: "You must have heard those wails, right? The souls imprisoned in that passage are none other than Rodnaz, whom I killed before, and another top-tier CP0 fighter."

"He wants to surrender, but I think he should experience pain first, so that he will truly submit."

Upon hearing this, Kaido recalled the scene he had witnessed when he visited the prison space before, and fell silent for a moment.

What kind of abilities does this bastard possess?

It can control souls, and those killed by it will not even die; their souls will suffer the torture of black flames in that prison.

One of those two wailing figures was actually a Celestial Dragon?

So, is the kind of torture that can cause extreme pain to the soul endless?

What kind of monster have I encountered? If I'm unable to fight back and am being controlled, how can I break free?

Yes, even now, he still thinks about breaking free from control.

Aside from oddballs like Roger who wanted to see the future, no one who possesses Conqueror's Haki can be subdued by force.

Then, the cage was opened, and the sea stone chains were unlocked.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Kevin gave instructions: "I will take Queen to the research institute to work as Vegapunk's assistant. King and Kaido will leave Wano Country. I need you to form a new Beast Pirates in the New World, but you need to report your actions to the Revolutionary Army's high command."

Code of conduct?

Kaido looked over: "You don't actually think the New World is a peaceful place, do you? You think holding hands and singing this song will rebuild a pirate crew?"

Kevin shook his head slightly: "The Revolutionary Army is never pedantic. The New World has little to offer, but it has the most pirates who commit evil deeds just like you did before."

King, who was standing to the side, seemed to have accepted the current situation and replied, "We shouldn't attack civilians, right? Then we can use the new Beast Pirates as a cover for the Revolutionary Army's development in the New World, or perhaps the Grand Line."

"That's right."

Kevin continued, "In fact, changing this world requires more than just absolute force. A corrupt order is still an order, and if no new order emerges when the old one collapses, the world might become even worse, which is something I don't want to see."

"And in the new order, how the dragon slayers do not become the new evil dragons is also something the revolutionary army is ideologically prepared for."

"The Lunaria race used to live on the Red Line and were known as the race of gods. But in the future envisioned by the Revolutionary Army, the Lunaria race will be like ordinary races, neither superior because of their power nor denied the right to live because of it."

Kevin looked at the three of them as he spoke.

Decades ago, they shared a similar fate with those tragic figures who joined the Revolutionary Army, but they chose the path of piracy, and their unwavering will has brought them to where they are today.

It's hard to change, but it's not hard to control.

The revolutionary army needs their strength now, but the future remains to be seen.

……

Ten minutes later, only Kevin and Oden, who had been watching the whole time, remained in the basement.

Queen was sent directly to the research institute, while the reanimated Kaido and King were left on an island in another part of the New World, where pirates had recently become rampant and it was a good place to develop.

Meanwhile, Kevin still needs to keep an eye on ideological education reform for some time.

As he came up from the basement, Oden once again became hesitant and reluctant to speak.

Only after returning to the ground did he speak, asking, "Are we just going to let their crimes go unpunished? If they find a way to free Kaido from your control, they will surely face the consequences..."

"I know."

Kevin looked at Oden: "But the moment he breaks free from control is the moment his soul begins to suffer punishment. And he can never truly escape it."

"Oden and his group committed many sins in Wano Country and in the past. Therefore, they are not allies of the Revolutionary Army. If they can atone for their sins through their own efforts in the future, it will be a kind of waste utilization."

"You've been to Laugh Tale, the power we're about to face is very strong."

……

A week later, Kaido and King's actions were monitored by contacting Dragon via Den Den Mushi.

In addition, the CP0 chameleon, which had been lamenting for some time, was also put into Channel One.

After being released through the same method of impure resurrection, it wept bitterly, saying it would do anything as long as it didn't have to go back to be tortured again.

"Bang bang bang!"

The body, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, was repeatedly shattered by this guy, and even his empty pupils managed to conjure an expression of weeping and wailing.

"My lord! I'll do anything as long as I'm no longer in that pain!"

"I know a lot about the CP, their habits, and even an abandoned special passage on the Red Line!"

"Please, sir..."

……

Annoyed, Kevin simply assigned the guy to the Eastern Army, with Ginny planning all the routes for collecting the Heavenly Gold, so that they could begin their operation.

The abandoned passages on the Red Line will also be confirmed by Dragon and Kuma. If confirmed, the research institute will provide technical support.

Regarding the search and arrest of CP, all leaders in various departments of the Revolutionary Army can contact them directly to try to find out the loopholes in CP's search and arrest efforts in a short period of time, and further intensify their infiltration and development efforts.

The fact that the Five Nations Revolution had been discovered and forced to evacuate has made all the revolutionary armies extremely cautious.

With this veteran CP0 on the team, they can be a little more relaxed.

……

The bustling streets of Wano Country's Flower Capital.

A high platform was erected here three days ago, and a mentor of the revolutionary army gave a speech three days ago.

Today is his second speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last time I talked about what class is. Today we will talk about what it means for life to be equal in terms of nobility or baseness."

"Throughout history, both in Wano Country and the outer seas, there has always been a distinction between nobles and commoners. Nobles are high above, while commoners are as insignificant as ants."

"So, on what basis do nobles consider themselves nobles?"

"Yes, bloodline. The offspring of nobles remain nobles, and the children of commoners remain commoners. So, five hundred years ago, or perhaps a thousand years ago, were the very ancestors of that noble family also commoners?"

"The blessings bestowed by a virtuous person will only last five generations!"

……

"Life has no inherent value! Even those in positions of power cannot act arbitrarily and trample on the lives of ordinary people!"

……

Were the Kurozumi clan good or bad five hundred years ago? Was the Kurozumi Orochi, who was slain that day, good or bad?

"Ladies and gentlemen, bloodlines can never inherit anything from one's ancestors; each generation is a variable."

……

The lecture continued, and this time there were many more people in attendance than three days ago.

However, it was clear that while many of the Wano Country citizens in the audience looked thoughtful, there were also many who disagreed.

Some of the warriors even had a sharp glint in their eyes.

Kevin observed all of this and sighed after finishing his cup of tea.

Sure enough, the distorted samurai spirit of this country has now become the first major obstacle to ideological and educational reform.

Unlike children, they are taught from a young age to be loyal to their lord, their daimyo, and the Kozuki clan.

But that's not what Kevin wanted.

True liberation cannot exist if the mind cannot be liberated.

This is only his second speech so far, and the school has only just started giving the children their first ideological lesson. The qualitative change has not yet begun, and he still has a trump card to play.

Thinking of this, Kevin looked at Oden, who had come out with his daughter across from him.

Hmm? Where's that clever little girl?

The next moment, Kevin felt a slight tremor in his eyes, and looking down, he saw that Xiao Rihe was quietly preparing to draw his knife.

Upon realizing he had been discovered, the little guy tilted his head back and acted cute.

If I hadn't seen this double-kick Momonosuke more than once, I might have actually been fooled.

"If you want to play with knives, go play with your father's. I might just use this knife on myself."

Xiao Rihe bowed slightly and then said, "I heard that Uncle Mask's sword is the most powerful, capable of even slaying dragons flying in the sky, so I wanted to see it."

Seeing that Kevin ignored her, Xiao Rihe snuggled into Kevin's arms, stood up, and looked out the window at the speech.

After pausing for a moment, he nodded and said, "I think he makes sense. After all, if Momo really becomes a shogun, it would be a disaster for everyone in Wano Country."

Hearing this, Kevin pinched her cheek: "You don't trust your own brother?"

"hehe."

After a cold laugh, Xiao Rihe crossed her arms: "Does the whole country have to come up with new ways to stop him from crying every day? Every time something happens, he hides in his mother's arms, even taking up my spot!"

Uh →_→

Oden, who was on the other side, realized something was wrong as he listened. It turned out that this was mainly because someone had taken up a seat.

Kevin smiled and reached out to poke the puffed-up cheeks of Xiao Rihe.

If one only possesses the power to communicate with Elephant God through blood, it is insufficient to serve as a decision-maker.
