Kozuki Momonosuke held the Den Den Mushi tightly with great excitement.
Under Al's guidance, he operated carefully and initiated communication with the other side of the Den Den Mushi.
At this time, Hiyori, who was far away in Alabasta, was hosting her show in the radio studio.
When she heard Den Den Mushi's reminder, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.
She quickly handed the broadcast program to the assistant beside her, then connected to the Den Den Mushi and started talking with her brother and grandfather.
As early as a few days ago, when El received the Den Den Mushi and told her that she was about to go to Wano Country, Hiyori began to wait for this moment with great anticipation.
When Al left Toushan, he left behind several hand-crank chargers and radios to ensure they could hear the outside world.
After going down the mountain, he took out the Germa-made cat car and headed towards the Flower Capital.
After discovering that the supplies stolen from Marijoa would not be damaged, El specially took such mechanical land transportation from Germa's territory.
In addition, he also put the Orange Windmill into his own black hole space.
The journey to Wano Country is not only an adventure for Luffy, but also a long journey of growth until he can awaken the Nika form.
Therefore, Al was not in a hurry to travel, but drove the cat car leisurely, slowly heading towards the Flower City.
Along the way, cherry blossoms fell like snow, covering the ground with a layer of pink carpet.
Along the way, El noticed that the once dilapidated villages in Wano Country began to show some vitality.
Although the villagers still wear patched clothes, their faces are no longer as haggard and thin as before. Their cheeks are faintly fleshy and their eyes have a little more radiance.
Children are laughing and playing in the village, and occasionally you can see a few chickens pecking at food in the courtyard. All this silently tells us that life is gradually getting better.
The crops in the fields are green, bringing new hope to this land.
The smiles on the villagers' faces, though not strong, were real, marking a good beginning.
Chapter 237 Invitation to Yamato
When El arrived in the Flower Capital, he was quickly invited into the Shogun's Mansion by Yamato.
The arrival of the entire El Pirates soon reached Drake's ears.
The appearance of two of the Four Emperors in Wano Country is a very serious matter for the navy. They need to re-evaluate their current strategic layout and prepare for any possible conflicts.
At this time, Yamato didn't know that El had become one of the Four Emperors. She was just very happy that El returned to Wano Country to visit her after more than a year.
During this one year or so, Yamato implemented many policies and orders as the general, which gradually changed Wano Country.
As she began to boast happily, Al interjected a few compliments based on the changes he had witnessed along the way.
Nami and the others sat at the banquet, enjoying the traditional performances of Wano Country on the stage, but they did not seem to be fully immersed in this cheerful atmosphere.
During this period of time, they have tasted countless delicacies made with top-quality ingredients.
At this moment, although the food in front of them was delicious, their taste buds were a little tired and they couldn't feel much.
In addition to their recent experience in Wano Country, they had met many of the Four Emperors' biological children.
When they faced Kaido's biological daughter, who was also one of the Four Emperors, again, they no longer felt much excitement.
As for their situation, Al also knew that their interest at this moment was all on the route guided by the road signs that Robin had just deciphered two days ago.
Ever since getting the information about the third historical stele from Big Aunt, Robin has begun the in-depth interpretation and deciphering of these three stele.
With Al's hint, Robin successfully analyzed three possible routes that corresponded to each other between the stone tablets.
Faced with the mysterious attraction of the great treasure left behind by the Pirate King, Nami and the others were all attracted by these three routes, which led to their lack of interest in the trip to Wano Country.
Moreover, when they asked, El had already nodded and agreed to their request to go to the final island together.
After the banquet, he and Yamato came to a clean room and prepared to explain to her the purpose of their visit.
"Yamato, the Kozuki Oden you have always admired, his son has returned."
As soon as El finished speaking, Yamato's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. She almost couldn't wait to ask, "Really? Can I go and see him in person?"
Her voice was filled with unconcealable excitement and curiosity. For Yamato, who had always regarded Kozuki Oden as his spiritual pillar, being able to meet Oden's son was undoubtedly an extremely exciting thing.
Looking at the number one fan of Oden in front of him, Al smiled slightly and continued, "He is not here to play with you, but to take back the position of general of Wano Country."
Hearing this, Yamato thought for a moment, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "If you want to take back Wano Country, then I can't do anything. My father won't agree, and they probably can't beat my father."
Al nodded and continued, "Yes, that's what I told them, but I have confidence in them. I think they will succeed in defeating your father."
El's words made Yamato even more curious, and she asked, "Is Oden's son strong? I remember reading in the diary that his son's name is Momonosuke."
Al shook his head. "He's not strong. He's just a six-year-old crybaby."
Hearing what Al said, Yamato asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? Momonosuke was born more than 20 years ago, and Oden has been dead for 20 years. How can he have a six-year-old son?"
Seeing Yamato's confusion, Al patiently explained: "Because of Oden's wife, Lady Kozuki's devil fruit ability, she can teleport people to the future, so Momonosuke who was teleported to the present is still the six-year-old he was then."
Yamato was shocked by this explanation.
"This... This is amazing!", Yamato exclaimed as her brain struggled to comprehend this incredible magical event.
Although the abilities of devil fruits are varied, the ability to teleport a person directly to the future is truly amazing.
However, after a brief shock, Yamato quickly regained her composure and began to analyze the current situation rationally.
"Since Oden's son doesn't have this strength, then no one else should be able to defeat my father. Oden's retainers, the Nine Red Scabbards, were unable to cause any harm to my father at the time, and it is even more impossible now."
Al smiled slightly, and did not directly explain to her what was so special about Luffy. He chose to change the subject, "Then let's wait and see. But I want to tell you something else."
"What's the matter?" Yamato asked curiously. Her attention was completely drawn to Al, and she wanted to know what he was going to say next.
El said bluntly: "We have found the location of the great treasure. It just so happens that the fighters on my ship have already left. Do you want to join us as a fighter of our pirate group? Let's go find the great treasure together?"
Hearing this suggestion, Yamato fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she hesitated and said, "But I have not yet surpassed Oden in the governance of Wano Country. If I leave like this, all my efforts will be wasted."
Al thought for a moment, "It takes a lot of time for a country to develop. Just like Wano Country has been ruled by the Kozuki Clan for hundreds of years, you might as well take this opportunity to give yourself a break."
Then, Al continued, "I should be the first pirate to find the final island after Pirate King Roger. If you don't join now, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."
After hearing what El said, Yamato's long-held desire for adventure was finally ignited, and she realized that this was an opportunity to witness history.
"Okay, I'm willing to join your pirate group."
After confirming that Yamato agreed to join, Al smiled with satisfaction, "You won't regret your decision."
However, before Yamato could respond to El's smile, a deafening voice suddenly came from outside: "El, Wano Country is my territory, are you running here to provoke me?"
The voice was full of majesty and anger, obviously it was Kaido who ruled this land.
Nami and the others were the first to arrive outside the general's mansion. Looking up, they saw a huge green dragon circling in the sky. The huge figure almost covered half of the sky. His existence brought heavy pressure to the entire Flower City.
At the same time, Al and Yamato in the mansion also heard the noise outside, and they quickly walked out of the mansion.
Kaido's eyes fell on Yamato and El, and his voice rolled like thunder: "Yamato, why are you with this guy?"
"Father, Al is my friend. He came here specially to see me."
In front of Kaido, Yamato did not tell him on the spot about his plan to leave Wano Country.
Her father has always been against her leaving Wano Country, so if she wants to leave, she has to keep it a secret from him.
At this tense moment, information about El suddenly flashed through Kaido's drunken head.
This made his already ferocious face even more distorted. Kaido instantly switched from blaming Yamato to targeting El, and his voice became even more ferocious: "El, I have always raised Yamato as my son, stay away from him."
After hearing Kaido's words, Nami and the others immediately understood what Kaido meant. There was a hint of teasing in their eyes as they looked at El with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, the blue dragon in the sky began to shrink rapidly and returned to human form.
Kaido was seen with his muscles bulging, holding a huge mace, and his eyes revealing endless anger.
Without any hesitation, he used Thunder Bagua directly on Al.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Al quickly entered combat mode.
Even though Kaido's mace was wrapped in a strong electric current, there was no sign of retreat in El's eyes.
Kaido's damage is no less than Big Mom's. Luffy's fight with Big Mom only made him lose energy, but when he was hit by Kaido's Thunder Bagua, he was seriously injured, vomited blood, and fell into a coma, and was sent to Rabbit Don Prison.
Al didn't want to be treated like Future Luffy, so he transformed immediately, wrapped his whole body with Haki, and used the same Haki-style fist-bone impact to meet Kaido's destructive attack.
Two powerful forces met in the air, and the domineering aura and electric current collided with each other, making a deafening roar. The resulting shock wave swept around in an instant, and the trees around the general's mansion were uprooted, and huge cracks appeared on the ground.
When Kaido saw that El dared to confront his Thunder Bagua head-on, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by more anger.
"You have some skills, but do you think you can beat me like this?" Kaido roared and jumped into the air, spinning the iron rod, wrapping the domineering aura around it, and used the Third Generation: Induce Naraku.
Looking at Kaido who was still drunk, Al shouted: "Kaido, this is the Flower City, are you going to destroy it?"
Although El tried to dissuade Kaido with words, he did not let down his guard.
Facing Kaido's powerful attack, El quickly condensed the armament domineering on his arms.
He seized the opportunity, tightly grasped the mace swung by Kaido, and used the momentum to grab Kaido from the air.
Then, Al gathered all his abilities and unleashed a powerful Nine Palaces Fist: Falling to the Seabed.
With this heavy blow, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a deafening roar broke out.
Although Kaido is drunk, his strength should not be underestimated as he is known as the strongest creature on land, sea and air.
Even though he was pulled down from the air by Al, he quickly adjusted his posture and blasted the Eight Rings in his hand forward with force.
However, the force of Al's fall from the seabed was even greater, and a huge hole was smashed into the ground. Amidst the flying dust, the surrounding buildings also suffered varying degrees of damage.
The powerful impact caused the entire Flower City to shake, as if the earth was wailing.
Kaido, who was knocked underground, finally woke up from his drunken state after the dust gradually settled.
He slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and the fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
"There are only a handful of people in this world who can fight with me. Let me see if you have what it takes." Kaido's voice was low and powerful, full of recognition and expectation for his true opponent.
Then, he began to put pressure on Al through words: "The energy contained in your moves is chaotic and cannot cause any harm to me."
Faced with the teachings of Kaido, the number one mentor of One Piece, El quickly understood the meaning of his words.
Indeed, after mastering the Tyrant Technique under Rayleigh's guidance, El has never encountered an opponent as powerful as Kaido.
The result of working in isolation was that he never had the opportunity to further improve and optimize his domineering skills.
As he is doing now, he is just forcibly gathering all his energy together to attack, which is indeed not as powerful as the opponent who specializes in the element of lightning.
Only when 1+1>2 can it be considered a true fusion move.
Soon, many thoughts and ideas about how to better integrate skills flashed through Al's mind.
However, Kaido did not give him much time to think in silence, and attacked again wielding his mace.
At the critical moment, Yamato on the side quickly swung his mace to block Kaido's attack.
The collision of metal against metal made a deafening sound, and the two maces crossed in the air, sparks flying.
"Father, Al is my friend, why did you attack him? If you continue fighting, the Flower Capital will be destroyed and all my hard work over the past year will be in vain." Yamato's voice was filled with anxiety.
Kaido was slightly stunned by Yamato's sudden intervention, but then his expression became more serious. "Yamato, how did you become friends with him?"
Yamato explained, "El came to Wano Country more than a year ago. I met him at that time."
Kaido turned to El and asked, "So you secretly broke into my Wano Country a year ago."
Seeing Kaido's expression, Al chose an excuse that would not irritate him, "I heard about the reputation of Kozuki, the most beautiful woman in Wano Country, and came here specially to invite her to go to sea. At that time, I met General Yamato."
But after hearing what El said, Kaido became even angrier. He believed that El must have some ulterior motive in approaching his daughter.
He exhorted Yamato: "Yamato, you are now the general of Wano Country. You don't need useless things like friends. What you need to do is to make everyone obey your orders."
"And this world doesn't need two dragons."
Kaido's words were cold and resolute. He swung his mace again and rushed towards El to continue his fierce attack.
Kaido's movements are swift and powerful, and each blow contains devastating power.
Faced with Kaido's unreasonable offensive, El had to fight passively and slowly move outward to avoid causing greater damage to the Flower Capital.
"Nami, please leave here first. I will come find you later."
