Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"Hey! Hey! You mean I won't die of old age now?" Kaido paused for a moment before asking.

"That's right, Kaido's myriad worlds hold treasures you would never expect, but they are nothing more than a mere increase in lifespan."

"You're like a little pirate who's just left Paradise; a much wider and grander world awaits you," Rhodes said.

"Hahaha! This is exactly what I wanted."

That night, Wano Country was plunged into a great panic as two divine dragons, one large and one small, flew through the sky, shocking everyone.

"Damn it, where did Kaido get another monster like this?" said a man dressed in samurai attire.

"I'm told she's a new member who just joined the Beasts Pirates. Uncle Denjiro, should I go and find out more about this newcomer? Under Komurasaki's identity," a beautiful woman in a kimono said.

"Please be careful, Your Highness Hiyori."

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this half month, Rod has been training his Devil Fruit ability with Kaido.

By training in Armament Haki and practicing Fel magic, Rhodes steadily improved his strength. He could now clearly feel that the energy within his body had further increased, and he was now confident that he could bring three life forms back to Azeroth at the same time.

After training that day, Kaido looked at Rhodes and said:

"Kid, I've recently mastered the power of evil energy, and I'm planning to find someone to practice with. Do you want to come and watch?"

"Who are you planning to spar with? With your current strength, it won't be easy to find an opponent!" Rhodes asked.

Chapter 32 Kaido Wants to Challenge Whitebeard, Rod's Concerns

"Haha, this opponent has always been there, it's that old bastard Whitebeard, he's the most suitable opponent," Kaido said.

It's time to teach Whitebeard a lesson and show him my current, terrifying power.

"Are you serious? I think if you want to find a worthy opponent, you might as well go find Charlotte Linlin!" Rhodes rolled his eyes and said.

Is Kaido trying to bully an old man? Whitebeard is over 70 years old this year, although he's still incredibly strong and known as the strongest man in the world. (I looked this up; Kaido earned the title of strongest in one-on-one combat two years after Whitebeard's death. It seems that in terms of pure fighting strength, Kaido has never been able to defeat Whitebeard.)

But he can't compare to you now. After being enhanced by fel energy, Kaido's attributes have doubled. And the life-corrosion ability that fel energy comes with is no joke. If Whitebeard is hit by Kaido even once, the fel energy will cause permanent damage, continuously harming Whitebeard.

It's possible that Kaido won't even need the Marineford War; he could defeat Whitebeard himself. And given Kaido's personality, he's bound to do it.

“No, no, no, Linlin used to be evenly matched with me, but now she’s definitely no match for me. I’ve become familiar with the power of fel energy and created several new techniques! Moreover, I can add fel flames to my heat breath,” Kaido said.

"Then why did you challenge Whitebeard?" Rod asked.

“Although Whitebeard is not at his peak right now, I have a way to bring him back to his peak condition once,” Kaido said.

"You bastard, you don't actually want me to give the healing stone and those potions to Whitebeard, do you?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

"Hahaha! That's right! Use your potion to treat Whitebeard and bring him back to his peak condition!"

"I really, really want to defeat Whitebeard at his strongest," Kaido said.

He desperately wanted to defeat Whitebeard. When Whitebeard was at his peak, he hadn't yet grown up. By the time Whitebeard had grown up...

Yet he was still no match for Whitebeard. Even when Whitebeard's strength declined and he entered old age, he still couldn't defeat him.

In terms of physical strength, Whitebeard was actually not as strong as Kaido. Kaido's physical strength was definitely the strongest. The title of the strongest creature in the world of sea, land, and air is no joke.

However, Whitebeard's use of the three types of Haki, as well as his Devil Fruit ability, made him Kaido's nemesis.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power renders some of Kaido's ranged attacks ineffective. Furthermore, if the two were to exchange punches, Whitebeard, imbued with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, Conqueror's Haki, and Armament Haki, could send him flying with a single blow.

Whitebeard's physical condition has now deteriorated to its lowest point; neither his Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, nor his physical abilities are as strong as they used to be.

Even so, this old man still retains the title of the world's strongest man, a seventy-two-year-old bastard.

"You seem quite confident in your strength, but I can tell you that Whitebeard can never return to his peak condition. The healing stone can only heal injuries, and some external wounds can be treated, but what Whitebeard lost was his life force."

"What he lost was his youth. As for the sobering potion, it might slightly enhance Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki, but it wouldn't affect the course of the battle," Rhodes said.

"What if the old man with the white beard also consumed your fel blood? Would his strength return to its peak?" Kaido asked.

If we can recruit Whitebeard as well, then the Rocks Pirates will be reunited. At that time, we should try to get Shiki as well, and the Navy will be terrified.

“Your idea is good, and I can tell you definitively that if Whitebeard were willing to accept the power of fel energy, then Kaido, you would definitely be beaten to a pulp by him.”

You've become so much stronger after drinking the Fel Blood, do you think Whitebeard won't become stronger too?

"Don't you think his life force will be replenished?" Rhodes rolled his eyes and said.

After the Kaido incident, Rod realized that even if Whitebeard drank the blood of the evil spirits and accepted their power, he could not subdue him in the same way he subdued Kaido.

The Four Emperors possess their own pride, especially top-tier pirates like Whitebeard. It's only because Whitebeard wasn't interested in the Pirate King title that he went to the final island long ago.

After drinking the blood of evil energy, it wouldn't be difficult to find a way to inscribe a demon enslavement array on him.

But could he really enslave Whitebeard? That old man would probably rather die than accept being enslaved by him.

That's why Rhodes thought of using necromancy to control Whitebeard. It's impossible to make Whitebeard submit willingly. If you try to control him by force, he'll only fight you to the death, even though fish die but the net doesn't break.

This is the pride of a Yonko. If it weren't for the 10-year agreement he made with Kaido, Kaido would never have accepted his enslavement.

Using tricks might work once, but it won't work if you do it too often.

"Damn it! You're right, if he takes the Fel Blood, Whitebeard won't be under your control." Kaido sighed helplessly, it seemed his wish to defeat Whitebeard at his peak was impossible to fulfill.

Given Whitebeard's personality, he would absolutely not accept being enslaved.

“Hey! You damn old man, maybe we could try to get Whitebeard to owe us a favor, and then ask him for help. What do you guys think?” Yamato, who was standing to the side, said.

"???? You idiot son, how could Whitebeard possibly owe anyone a favor!" Kaido rolled his eyes and said.

Are you kidding me? Making a white-bearded man owe someone a favor? Ha! That old man is incredibly stubborn; how could anyone possibly make him owe someone a favor?

"Heh! Yamato won't work," Rhodes said, shaking his head.

Whitebeard's personality dictates that he cannot submit to others. Is it really a good thing for him to owe someone a favor?

Rhodes never believed in these vague and ethereal things; he considered human relationships the most useless thing.

However, Yamato's words did enlighten Rod. Whitebeard was indeed out of control, but his sons were his Achilles' heel!

If Whitebeard is to be transformed into a Death Knight in the future, then if he resists, threatening him with his sons will definitely have unexpected effects.

Chapter 33 The Idea of ​​Building the Dark Gate to the Pirate World

The idea of ​​making him owe someone a favor? Haha! Completely unreliable.

In practice, it would be extremely difficult, and there would be too many variables. It would be a gamble on whether others would help you, and it would be a gamble on Whitebeard's character.

Would Whitebeard really owe me a favor because I helped him and helped him regain his youth?

If I were to encounter difficulties in the future and seek his help in the world of Azeroth, would he really come?

Whitebeard went to rescue Ace because Ace was Roger's son.

In Whitebeard's heart, Ace's life was far more precious than that of his other sons, even at the cost of his other sons' lives.

Rhodes wasn't going to rely on luck or good fortune.

"Yamato! You suddenly said something about trying to win over Whitebeard and make him owe you a favor. Do you have something on your mind? Have you seen the newspapers lately?" Rhodes stroked his chin, looking at Yamato with amusement, and said.

Since following him, Yamato has no longer been restricted in his freedom, and news birds that come to sell newspapers can now pass on the latest news to him.

So this girl must have seen the newspaper about Ace's arrest.

Speaking of which, Yamato and Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates have a very good relationship, and to some extent, they can even be considered an official couple.

But now Yamato is my girl.

“I’m good friends with Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and I want to rescue him. He’s been captured by the Marines,” Yamato said directly.

"Ha! Has something like this been happening lately? If that's the case, given that old man with the white beard's personality..."

"He'll definitely go to save his son, and that will inevitably lead to a fierce clash with the Navy." Kaido stroked his chin and said.

"So what do you want to do?" Rod asked.

"Hahaha! This is a great opportunity, of course we should seize Whitebeard's territory!" Kaido laughed heartily.

He did want to fight Whitebeard at his peak and defeat him, but after Whitebeard consumed the Fel Blood, he was overwhelmed again, which was not what he wanted.

So if Whitebeard attacks Marine Headquarters, then I can go and seize Whitebeard's territory.

"You're going to steal Whitebeard's territory? Do you think the other two Yonko will just stand by and do nothing? The Yonko are supposed to keep each other in check. Charlotte Linlin and Shanks might come after you!" Rod said.

"Tch, with my current strength, I could easily defeat both of them if I wanted to. We used to be evenly matched, but now I'm definitely the strongest one," Kaido said.

He has now completely mastered the power of evil energy, surpassing even Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

It can also be imbued with fel energy, further enhancing Kaido's power.

"Rejected! Your combat strength cannot be revealed now, and no one can know the powerful enhancement that fel energy has given you, one of the Four Emperors," Rhodes said.

Now is not the time to reveal Kaido's formidable strength to the World Government and let them know that Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, has more than doubled in power.

They seized Whitebeard's territory and also wiped out the other two Yonko.

Then the Navy will definitely do everything in its power to encircle and kill Kaido; now is not the time to start a full-scale war with the Navy.

"Tch! You brat." Kaido curled his lip in dissatisfaction.

With your current strength, what are you afraid of?

The Marineford War is still about a month away, since Ace was only recently handed over to the Marines by Blackbeard.

I only have a few days left before I have to return to Azeroth.

After all, the two-month agreement with the Burning Legion is about to expire, and he needs to go back to obtain the new Abyss Lord's blood, strengthen the remaining Beast Pirates officers, and teach Kaido the way of the warrior.

Even more advanced fel magic requires the Burning Legion to provide it.

"Kaido! I've made up my mind. Get ready, and we'll return to my world together tomorrow morning."

When the Marineford War begins, we'll come back and take Whitebeard's body, as well as the bodies of other powerful figures.

"During this time in my world, I'll let you learn some warrior skills," Rhode said.

Rhodes will make a second deal with the Burning Legion, and this time he will face Kil'jaeden directly.

If possible, Rhodes would very much like to obtain the method for building the Dark Portal from Kil'jaeden.

Using his spatial teleportation ability, he established a location link between the two worlds, using the energy of the Space Stone as a power source to create a permanent portal that allows for perpetual travel between the pirate world and the world of Azeroth.

Then, to completely rule the entire pirate world and join the Burning Legion, you'll need to bring your own crew.
