One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 974 Meeting
"Oh, there are two uninvited guests."

Yamato and others who were sitting in the tavern hall were playing the card drawing game out of boredom while looking towards the door. Two people who were not wearing navy uniforms but had been exposed in intelligence long ago, a navy admiral and a newly promoted navy vice admiral walked in. Yamato turned around and glanced at the closed door of the box behind him. Has Uncle Jin not come out yet?
"Can Admiral Kizaru and the newest member of the Navy be regarded as the Admiral's special combat force Fujitora Ichisho?"

Hiyori said with a glance.

"If I remember correctly, that Fujitora Ichisho is the user of the Juju Fruit, and he has a very bad relationship with me. The same goes for Kizaru. I don't get along with either of them."

Jack drew a card from Hiyori's hand and said that only three of them came this time. Maria was helping with housework and couldn't leave, and Uta was planning to ask Maria for help in recording a new song recently, so Maria refused this short voyage. Robin was taking a new doctorate exam and was preparing for the sprint stage, so she also refused. As for Charlie, her situation was similar. She was busy helping Mr. Tom, so she didn't come either.

However, although these people did not come, there was one person who came here out of boredom during the twelve hours. She was Shackle Dale. At this moment, she was leaning very elegantly on the single sofa. She used her fruit ability to draw a two from Jack's hand, and then threw out a pair of twos, becoming the first winner in this card drawing game.

"Marine Admiral? That's really interesting. If the current situation doesn't allow it, I would really like to try it out."

After the last card in Shacklebolt Dale's hand was taken away by Yamato, he leaned back, picked up his glass of martini, glanced at the two people who were choosing drinks at the bar and said.

"There will definitely be a chance. After all, we are enemies, right?"

Yamato looked at the cards in his hand and scratched his head with a headache. How come this big ghost card appeared in his hand again after so many twists and turns? It seemed that his luck was not very good today.

"You are wrong, Miss Yamato. It is not certain whether they are enemies or not. Although the Navy is indeed an organization under the World Government, the Navy is inherently at odds with the World Government. This is a problem that has existed since the day the word justice was defined for the Navy."

In response to Yamato's statement, Shacklebolt Dale smiled and said that due to his own political sensitivity, Shacklebolt Dale could guess certain things even if he didn't know some intelligence. For example, the movements of the navy in recent years showed that they and the World Government were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, or even the superficial harmony did not exist. The two sides were probably only one step away from a real fight. It was just unknown whether the result would be an uprising or suppression. However, if the navy really rebelled, the Four Emperors would not sit idly by and would definitely take the opportunity to stab the World Government in the back. At this time, the pirates and the navy, who were originally the most incompatible, might even become comrades-in-arms.

"Is that so? Well, I don't understand this, but I thought I could have some fun this time, but it turned out to be even more boring. At home, at least I can play those games that I have played countless times, but here I can only draw a turtle, one against three, and I have three cards left."

Yamato said after nodding.

"Then let's go to Shabaodi Park after we're done. I heard that the facilities there have been refurbished because of the navy's control over the Shabaodi Archipelago."

Hiyori drew a card from Yamato's hand, frowned, and turned the cards in her hand to Jack. Obviously, she didn't draw a card that could form a pair this time.

"Bubble Park? We can go and play there, but let's wait until the negotiations are over. Although this negotiation is not too important, it is Mr. Jin who is leading the team after all, right?"

Shacklebolt Dale said.

"That group of pirates is very different."

While Yamato and the others were talking about the navy, Kizaru and Fujitora were each holding a wine glass and whispering.

"Of course, that's the pirate group of the Four Emperors, including cadres and second-generation ones. They are not ordinary people. Be careful, if they rush over, even the two of us will be in trouble." Kizaru held the wine glass and looked at the wine in it forming a beautiful color under the light, and said calmly. He saw Yamato when he came in, and his heart was tense. Yamato's identity was very troublesome, because in addition to being the daughter of Kaido and Lily, she was also the adopted daughter or goddaughter of several other Four Emperors. It can be said that Yamato alone connected the relationship between the Four Emperors. This also led to the fact that if something happened to Yamato, the offender would most likely face the punishment of all the Four Emperors. Not to mention Yamato's own strength was not weak.

And Yamato actually appeared here. Although he might be wandering around aimlessly, he also made Kizaru pay attention to what the other party was talking about. This might not be a simple matter. Could this group of people be trading explosive rocks?

"Hahaha, the Four Emperors? Although I am blind, I have heard some things about them. It is said that these people are not ordinary pirates. Even Mr. Garp and Mr. Zephyr, although they do not recognize their identities, they recognize their strength."

Fujitora took a sip of sake and said that he came to the navy too late. Although he had traveled around the world alone, the problems he saw from the perspective of an ordinary person and from the perspective of a navy were different, so he did not know much about the Four Emperors, and most of it was what he heard from others.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the Four Emperors are no longer just ordinary pirates. You can think of them as a force that aims to overthrow the rule of the World Government. Their goal is not even the Pirate King. After all, with the relationship between these guys, if they really wanted to find the legendary Final Island, they would have found it long ago. They are now even capable of conducting a dragnet investigation in the New World."

Kizaru kept releasing his Observation Haki to sense the situation behind the door of the private room, but unfortunately, they were all blocked. He couldn't directly confront the other party's Observation Haki. After all, they were here to prevent accidents, not to cause trouble. The ordinary Observation Haki he released could only be regarded as exploration, and if he confronted them head-on, it would be a provocation.

"I have also heard this from Mr. Zephyr, but I am really curious about what kind of person you are that the World Government recognizes you as the Emperor. I really want to meet you."

Fujitora said curiously.

"Ha, regarding this, I think it's better not to see them. After all, those guys are as strong as monsters, very scary."

Although his tone still sounded nonsensical, Kizaru meant it very seriously. Although the admirals claimed to be on the same level as the Four Emperors, this kind of thing was actually just something to listen to. Kizaru, who had faced the Four Emperors more than once, knew that the Conqueror's Haki, which many people thought was just a symbol of proof of the king, actually had a very strong power. The power of the Conqueror's Haki was not just talk. The most important thing was that among the Four Emperors there was Lily who could completely restrain Kizaru. This was what gave Kizaru the biggest headache.

The speed that he was proud of was not as good as the opponent's. In terms of swordsmanship, the opponent was the world's number one swordsman. The flames of the long-range attack on the opponent could even burn his own light. Not to mention the physical strength. Until now, no one has ever seen Rose Lily exhausted. That guy was like a perpetual motion machine and was extremely difficult to deal with.

"But they are pirates after all, aren't they? As marines, isn't that our duty?"

Fujitora heard the fear in Kizaru's tone, but he still smiled and said.

"About this point... it's not certain. Brother Yixiao, you came late, so you don't know a lot of things. But you will definitely learn something over time. But this time, please allow me to keep it a secret. It will be meaningless if I tell you too early."

Kizaru said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it, hahaha."

Fujitora poured all the sake in his hand into his mouth, then moved his ears and released his Observation Haki without making a sound. At the same time, the door of the box that had been closed was opened, and Jin walked out of it. Jin's existence surprised Kizaru, and Jin was equally surprised. He didn't expect that the elusive breath turned out to be Kizaru. However, soon, Jin walked towards Yamato and others without making a sound, and Kizaru also retracted his Observation Haki and patted Fujitora beside him, indicating him not to act rashly.
