One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 794 Souvenirs

"So you brought back these local specialties?"

Kaido, who was drunk, looked at the countless flame phantoms burning in Lily's hand and asked curiously.

"This is the first time I've used this trick. I just wanted to test whether my guess is correct. But now it seems to be useful. When the soul is restrained, it seems that the life card will not show that the target is dead."

Lily glanced at the group of painful souls burned by flames behind her, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. Although the screams of these guys were indeed a bit annoying, thinking about what these guys had done before and looking at their current state, it didn't seem like a big deal.

"In other words, you brought back all the guards and followers of the Celestial Dragons that Yamato and his men killed, including the souls of the Celestial Dragons themselves? Are you planning to keep roasting them?"

Kaido knows Lily's new ability. The Suzaku represented by Lily's Suzaku Fruit has the ability to draw the souls of the dead in mythology. As the so-called faith strengthens them, the ability for the souls of the dead begins to manifest in Lily. The previous shifty eyes had their souls directly extracted by Lily.

Of course, the person who was extracted is not actually dead yet, and the body is still alive, and even if observed through the life card, no problems can be found. However, the body without the soul will die after a period of time, even if it can continuously supply nutrients. Without the support of the soul, it is like a bucket without a bottom. No matter how much water is poured into it, it will leak out. The soul whose body is dead will go to the underworld because of the soul's instinct, which is the place Lily almost broke into countless times but ultimately did not enter. Perhaps when Lily truly awakens, the purple curtain blocking her will completely disappear. However, although Lily cannot enter the underworld now, it is still no problem to intercept the soul.

Now the souls of Saint Barbaris and his guards have all been intercepted by Lily, and are now suffering from the pain of being burned at the stake. The faint flame, of which only a shadow can be seen, does no harm to the human body, but for souls without a body, this is the most horrible torture in the world.

"That's not the case. According to the feedback this move gave me, when the damage they sustain reaches the damage they caused to others, the flames will dissipate, and they will be able to enter the underworld."

Lily said, shaking her head.

"Oh la la la la la la, then it looks like this sentence is going to be long enough. Judging from the shit the Celestial Dragons have done, it's possible they'll burn for a hundred years."

Kaido said with a smile. He still couldn't see the soul, but in the shadow of the fire, he could still see the distorted face full of pain.

"Perhaps, but what's even more painful to them is that they will never get used to this kind of pain, no matter how long it lasts. After all, the soul is not the body, and there is no pain nerve adaptation process. All they can get is eternal pain."

Lily showed a wicked smile on her face, glanced at the soul of Barbaris who was suffering the most and said, I don't know if it's because he has done too many bad things, the flames burning Barbaris are more than twice as fierce as others. If others are simmering slowly, then Barbaris is simmering with high heat right from the start.
"Oh, this is a punishment that suits them. When we succeed in the future, we will give it to all those high-handed guys."

Kaido began to imagine the souls of all the Celestial Dragons churning in flames. It was only fitting that they were punished accordingly for the evil deeds they had committed.

"We'll talk about that later. It's too early to think about it now. Instead of thinking about it, let's think about when we can take the final step. Dai is almost going crazy. She is the one who is most affected among us. Although the souls of those who died in the war will not hurt her, the impact on her life cannot be ignored."

Lily shook her head. It was not that easy to drive the Celestial Dragons out of power. In the past two years, both the Four Emperors and the World Government had been engaged in an arms race. Why? It was because both sides knew that when the next war started, it would be a real showdown. Either you die or I die. Both sides had no way out and could not stop until the other side was completely killed.

Now, from the overall situation, the World Government still has a slight advantage. After all, it is too big. This kind of behemoth-like size is really difficult for the Four Emperors, who only control the New World, to achieve. However, the Four Emperors are not without their own advantages, that is, unity. The overly large size of the World Government is both an advantage and a disadvantage. There are too many unstable factors within it, and the Navy is the first to bear the brunt. The Navy and the World Government are already obvious, and almost anyone can see it. From being an obedient dog under the World Government in the past, to an existence that the World Government needs to discuss things with, the change between the two is too big. What's more, the Hundred Beasts, who know some inside information, know that the three new Navy admirals who are about to be crowned are all connected with the Revolutionary Army. In other words, no matter what, the separation between the Navy and the World Government is already doomed, but it is unknown when this bomb will catch the World Government off guard.

In addition, the behavior of the World Government's member states in the New World not paying the Tenjo Gold has set a bad example, making many of the World Government's member states ready to move. After all, Tenjo Gold is too heavy a thing to pay. In the past, the World Government was strong, and the Blood Game held every three years was a huge burden on everyone. However, since the incident in the Valley of the Gods, the Celestial Dragons have been quiet for many years. Coupled with the leadership of the World Government's member states in the New World and the decline of the World Government, many people's resentment towards Tenjo Gold has become increasingly greater.

If the World Government really cannot collect the Heavenly Gold, then it will be a life-and-death moment for the World Government. Even if it continues to print more Beli, it will be useless, because now some people have begun to use the Hundred Bird Vouchers issued by the Four Emperors as currency, and the original purpose of the Four Emperors has begun to be realized little by little.

In addition, the biggest weakness of the World Government is in technology. Indeed, the World Government has Vegapunk, who is said to have technology that surpasses the world's technology by 500 years, but people who are familiar with Vegapunk know that half of this guy's reputation is due to his fruit ability and the ancient technology he discovered. The gap between these things has become very small since the Beasts discovered the Mechanical City. In addition, Vegapunk himself is a guy who only obeys orders and likes to slack off every day, which makes the gap between the two sides even smaller, and he has even been overtaken by the Four Emperors. When human power is limited, Vegapunk is indeed powerful, but there is only one person after all. Over the years, the New World's college policy has been continuously promoted, and a steady stream of outstanding talents have completed their studies and are shining in all walks of life. The truth that many hands make light work is not false.

"Yeah, forget it. Let's not think about it anymore. How are Yamato and the others? You're back. Are you sure you're relieved? Don't get worried again and run out to look for Yamato and the others."

Kaido felt a headache and finally decided not to think about it anymore. He would just take it one step at a time and then changed the subject and asked.

"It's no problem. The Revolutionary Army has sent two people to follow them. With an experienced sailor staying with them, I don't have to worry about anything. I've never worried about the strength of these kids. The only thing I worry about is their experience. It's fine as long as there's an old sailor following them. I'm not the kind of parent who dotes on his children."

Lily stretched and leaned casually on the sofa and said.

"Pfft, you don't spoil."

Kaido couldn't help laughing when he heard Lily's words. Everyone knew that Lily said she didn't spoil her children, but in fact, apart from training, she held them in her hands for fear of dropping them, and held them in her mouth for fear of melting them.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Lily glared at Kaido, stopping his laughter.

"No problem, who could have a problem with that?"

Kaido quickly waved his hands to indicate that he had no objection.

"That's better. I'm going to take a shower. I'm going to stink now that I've been following Yamato and the others."

Lily nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked into the house, while Kaido rolled his eyes, put down the wine gourd, stood up and followed her.
