One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 753 True Awakening and Faith
"Is this the second half of the scroll?"

Kaido and Lily held the scroll that Wanshi had spent half a month searching for and found in the secret compartment of the Sutra Library and said that the main reason they came to the Kingdom of Flowers, in addition to fulfilling Wanshi's last wish, was for this scroll, which was likely to record the true awakening method of the legendary Devil Fruit.

Lily took out the scroll she had been carrying with her and carefully put it together with the scroll from the Kingdom of Flowers. Fortunately, it fit perfectly without any tearing in between.

【There are people in the world, because of faith in life, if faith is sincere, then cause will be born, if there is cause, there must be effect, the effect is so great that it cannot be contained by the sea, if people eat it, they can form a divine body. However, although they have a divine body, it is difficult to obtain the power of the true god. If they obtain the power, they must follow the way, if there is a way, the world will believe in it, if faith is sincere, then cause will be born, if there is cause, there must be effect, the effect has been eaten, gather in their body, and finally obtain the great way.】

There are not many words on the lower half of the scroll, just a small dot, and one paragraph is even repeated, but the information revealed is enormous.

"So that's how it is. Our guess at the time turned out to be true!"

Lily looked at the scroll in front of her. What was recorded on it was in vernacular Chinese. Except for the fact that it was not explicitly stated, anyone who knew about it could guess the situation at the first sight.

"In the end, it all comes down to the essence. Belief, the belief in the Devil Fruit, or the mythical beast represented by the Mythical Beast Fruit, is the foundation for improving abilities. As for the World Government, or more precisely, the Five Elders, even though many people hate them for so many years, there are still many lickers who believe in them. This should be the reason why Satan and Nasujuro had black flames on their bodies at that time."

Kaido thought for a moment and said, when he saw Satan Saint on the battlefield, Kaido was curious. The other party was obviously a user of the Mythical Beast Fruit. Kaido did not pay attention to the flame cloud on him at that time. He was just curious about the guy's almost immortal body. The recovery ability was too strong. Lily still needed to burn it with fire, but the guy's wound disappeared almost the moment the weapon left his body.

Later, Lily told him that Nasujuro Sei also had the same black flame cloud on his body, which reminded Kaido that if it was one person, it might be a special ability, but if two people were like this, then there was definitely a problem. Considering that the other party obviously had a mythical beast-type devil fruit, plus what was written on the scroll now, Kaido had reason to suspect that the reason they were able to awaken was because of some people's worship of the World Government.

In addition, the tablets offered to them in Wano Country caused changes in their fruit abilities, and the fact that such a large number of mythical beast-type devil fruits appeared in the Flower Country, Kaido finally knew what they should do next. Wanshi, who also learned about this, ordered on the spot to take advantage of the situation of the Four Saints coming to the world and directly build four statues for worship.

Wan Shi is a smart man. He knows that if the Flower Kingdom wants to survive on its feet and not kneel down at the feet of the World Government, it needs a strong enough ally, and Bai Shou is definitely the most suitable one. First of all, Bai Shou is strong enough. Although the previous war between the Four Emperors and the World Government, which started off well but ended badly, was not spread openly, it still caused a lot of uproar in the underground world. Wan Shi, who was wandering around under the protection of Wang Zhi at the time, naturally knew about it.

It is absolutely appropriate to have such a force backing him up, not to mention that Lily's identity can reduce a lot of trouble. According to Kaido, there are still many people within the Hundred Beasts who are users of the Flower Kingdom's Mythical Beast Devil Fruit. The awakening of the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit requires faith, and the Flower Kingdom is a natural treasure trove of faith. Although the temple is ruined, it still exists. As long as Wanshi issues an order to help, it will definitely be able to recover. After all, the restoration of the temple is also good for him as the emperor. The mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides is more appropriate than just talking.

Kaido and Lily did not refuse this, but just hoped that Wanshi could add a few more statues. After all, apart from him and Lily, they already have King and Dai, so it would be a bit inappropriate if Quinn was not included.

There was no problem with Wan Shi, but this matter was stopped by Lily. This kind of thing could not be rushed. The Four Saints were fine, after all, they were the highest-ranking beast gods in the Flower Kingdom. Qilin represented auspiciousness, which was naturally fine, but if statues of the Basilisk and others were added, it would not only seem too deliberate, but it would also easily attract the attention of the World Government. At this stage, the Flower Kingdom had just restored its country, and it would not be a good thing to have a too stiff relationship with the World Government. The power of the Four Emperors was still blocked in the four seas, and it would not be a good thing for the Flower Kingdom to withdraw from the World Government at this stage. Pretending to be submissive was the best strategy.

Wang Zhi and Mr. Xu also agreed with this. If the Flower Kingdom was in the New World, then Wang Zhi would support the Flower Kingdom and the Four Emperors to establish diplomatic relations without hesitation, and then withdraw from the World Government. After all, they were old comrades-in-arms, and they knew each other's strength and personalities very well. However, the Flower Kingdom was in the West Sea. Even if the Four Emperors had the means to reach the New World directly, he did not recommend doing so. After all, being able to arrive quickly and being within the sphere of influence were two different concepts.

Seeing everyone say so, Wan Shi, who was also a person who was good at accepting advice, agreed to this matter. Anyway, the goals of the Four Emperors had been made public. Wan Shi knew that sooner or later they would have a war. When that war began, that would be the time when the Flower Kingdom would truly stand on the side of the Beasts.

In this way, everyone decided to put Quinn in a difficult position first, and wait until the Kingdom of Flowers recovered and rebuilt the glory of the temple, and then enshrine the statues of mythical beasts and fantasy beasts such as the Basah. Quinn, who was not present at the scene, was tacitly agreed to this.

After the order was issued, everyone started toasting each other again. Kaido was undoubtedly drinking until his face flushed. These treasured royal wines were all good stuff. In comparison, the wine brewed by Lily was much inferior. After all, Lily's brewing recipe was given to her by Wanshou, and Wanshou was just a student who had just graduated in front of those craftsmen who had been brewing wine all their lives. What's more, these wines had been stored for many years, and the longer they were stored, the better the taste. Kaido was so happy drinking them. "Hahahahahaha, Kaido, this is a thank-you gift for you. It's a personal gift from me. It doesn't count as a formal thank-you gift. I've kept it for many years."

Halfway through drinking, Wang Zhi walked up to Kaido, took out the purple gold gourd that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Kaido. Kaido looked at the gourd in Wang Zhi's hand and his eyes widened with joy. Kaido could see that this was a really good thing. In comparison, the wine gourd he was using was really worthless!
"Oh, you're so polite, so polite. How can I be so embarrassed?"

Although he was being polite, Kaido's hands were not slow at all. He snatched the gourd and started to play with it lovingly. This thing was really beautiful.

"Hahahahahaha, you little brat, I knew you liked this. Let me tell you, this gourd is not simple. The wine will have a special fragrance when it is left in it for a long time. You will know it then."

Wang Zhi looked at his empty hand, was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said.

"Okay, okay, you old man are so thoughtful. I will give you something good when the time comes. I remember you use a long sword, right? I have a blacksmith here, who is a great man who can forge supreme objects. I will definitely give you a good sword when the time comes. Just wait and see! Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo!"

Kaido said bluntly.

"Okay, I won't be polite then. The next thing should be the gift from His Majesty. To be honest, your figures are really expensive."

Wang Zhi accepted Kaido's verbal return without hesitation, and then said in a low voice.

"Waste of material? What do you mean? How many sets of clothes did you make for me?"

Kaido was not stupid, so he naturally understood Wang Zhi's hint. He was just curious about what kind of clothes Wang Zhi specifically mentioned.

"Hahahaha, you'll know soon. Just wait and see. The Flower Kingdom will never mistreat those who have done them a favor. We all know how to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water."

Wang Zhi left without saying anything, but before Kaido and Lily could discuss what the gift was, several huge clothing racks were pushed out from the side.

"Everyone, I don't need to express my gratitude for your kindness, but not thanking you is not in line with the tradition of the Kingdom of Flowers. Therefore, I have privately decided to weave a few clothes for you benefactors. I hope you can accept them!"

Wan Shi walked up to the clothes rack and said.
