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

Why? Because Kaido could clearly sense that this woman possessed a power that even terrified him.

It was pure death power. Even with his own evil energy to defend against the necromancy arrows fired by this woman, he couldn't completely shield himself from the damage. As for Armament Haki, it was utterly ineffective against this kind of magical attack.

Moreover, in the past few days, this woman has awakened Conqueror's Haki and is also learning Observation Haki and Armament Haki. As long as she successfully masters all three types of Haki...

With the added freezing power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), this woman's strength will increase even further.

Kaido is confident he can defeat his opponent in close combat, but if they are kept at a distance, the woman's eerie necromancy arrow attacks will still give him a headache.

Armament Haki can't defend against this kind of attack, just like this kid's evil magic, which Armament Haki can't defend against.

It seems I should also get a set of magical armor from another world, focusing on magical defense, since my physical defense is already maxed out.

“This bounty is pretty good. Looks like I’m a great pirate now,” Rhodes said.

“Your strength is at most a little over 300 million, but you’re right, on this sea, you’re already considered a great pirate.” Kaido took off the sake bottle from his waist and took a big gulp.

After Rhodes' bounty was revealed, Quinn and Jhin suggested to him that Rhodes be directly included in the Flying Six.

However, Kaido rejected this decision, arguing that Rod had now taken control of Whitebeard and was arguably the strongest fighter in the Beasts Pirates besides himself.

Having the same Devil Fruit ability as himself, his future prospects are limitless. In addition, he is his son-in-law, so Kaido has other plans for Rod.

"By the way, kid, would you like to be the vice-captain of our Beasts Pirates?" Kaido asked.

I won't give you a spot among the Flying Six, but I can give you the position of first mate. Your fighting strength is enough to qualify you for the position of first mate, of course, this refers to the Whitebeard he's carrying.

"Forget it! I'm not interested in this position. I'll just stay as your son-in-law. The Beasts Pirates will always be yours," Rhodes said.

Father-in-law! I haven't even set my sights on your little Beasts Pirates yet, and you're already ruling them. Now work for me!

After this humiliation of Kil'jaeden, Sargeras should finally be able to face his own limitations, and then he can use the Marvel universe as leverage.

"Alright! Our strong performance in the Marineford War has even increased my bounty. My current bounty is 4.8 billion," Kaido said.

This time, the strength of his Beasts Pirates has increased significantly, and the Navy has naturally taken notice of him, which has also led to an increase in his bounty as the Grand Governor.

He'll then be able to break the 5 billion bounty and catch up with those two guys.

“Then congratulations, father-in-law. By the way, what’s the current situation with Gecko Moria?” Rhodes asked.

Ever since Gecko Moria was captured by Kaido, he was immediately thrown into the dungeon.

These past few days, Rhodes has been focused on training his endurance and the three types of Haki with the Queen and Yamato, and hasn't gone to see him.

"Hmph! Still so stubborn. The people in the dungeon reported to me that this guy is causing trouble every day," Kaido said.

During this time, Gecko Moria has been imprisoned in the dungeon of Wano Country, but the fat guy is still very stubborn and refuses to cooperate.

“Let’s go! We have some time today, let’s go meet Moonlight Moria,” Rhodes said, standing up.

“Alright, do you want me to come with you? I’m worried you can’t handle him,” Kaido said.

“No, no, no. Father-in-law, if you’re tired, go have a drink or go to sleep. I’ll take care of this guy,” Rod said.

"Hmm! I just had a fight with Whitebeard, so I'm going back to get some sleep now." After saying that, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and flew away from the place where Rhodes and the others lived.

“Let’s go, Your Majesty, and see if we can successfully subdue Moonlight Moria,” Rhodes said, looking at Sylvanas.

Sylvanas has already eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit, so she can no longer eat the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

The best solution would be to subdue Gecko Moria, but if he refuses to surrender even at the cost of his life, then we'll have to resort to other methods.

“Let’s go then, let’s go meet this Moonlight Moria,” Sylvanas said, standing up.

Moonlight Moria's ability to create zombies is extremely important to himself and to the Forsaken.

Sylvanas plans to have Moonlight Moria create a zombie, and then she will try to infuse it with the power of death.

See if we can create self-aware undead to increase the number of Forsaken. Now, after consuming the Underworld Fruit, Sylvanas's necromantic power is even stronger.

Combined with this power to mass-produce zombies, it should be possible to create perfect Forsaken.

Soon, Rhodes, Sylvanas, and Yamato arrived at the Beast Pirates' prison, the Prisoner Quarry, where enough ore was being mined to build the Dark Portal.

The head of this large prison was Quinn, one of the Three Calamities, and it was usually guarded by several of his subordinates.

Rhodes, Yamato, and Sylvanas were immediately given a warm welcome by Babanuki, the quarry supervisor.

“Princess Yamato, Lord Rhodes, Lady Sylvanas, welcome to the detention center,” Babanuki said, accompanied by several other deputy wardens.

Babanuki is extremely tall, comparable to Kaido and Jack in stature. He ate an artificial Devil Fruit, and his chest is shaped like an elephant.

In addition, there are artificial Devil Fruit users: Scorpion, Hippo, and Monkey, as well as three vice wardens.

After consuming fel energy, the members of the Beasts Pirates also developed some demonic characteristics.

For example, the elephant on the warden's chest is now in the shape of a green demon elephant.

"Take us to see Moria, that's all you need to do, go about your business!" Rhodes said.

"It's Lord Rhodes, please follow me."

Soon, Rhodes and the others were taken to a special prison, where Gecko Moria was bound by seastone chains and tied up in a cell.

"Damn bastard Kaido, let me out if you dare! I'll kill you! If that clown hadn't ambushed me, how could you have captured me?" Gecko Moria cursed.

The prison cell door opened, and Rhodes and his two companions walked in.

"You three bastards, call Kaido of the Beasts to come see me!" Moria roared.

"Alright, Moria, we're here to talk to you. There's something for you; this lady beside me wants to take you on as her subordinate," Rhodes said, pointing to Sylvanas beside him.

"Ha! Who do you think you are, uh!" Before Moria could finish speaking, Rhodes punched her in the stomach.

“I’ll teach you a lesson first,” Rhodes said.

That punch he just delivered was a dragon claw attack, imbued with Armament Haki; it wasn't easy to take.

"Cough cough! You wretched brat, let me go if you dare, or I'll beat you to a pulp!" Moonlight Moria said angrily to Rhodes.

"Alright! I'll get straight to the point. I need your ability to create zombies to serve me."

If you are willing to submit voluntarily, we will not control you; if you are not willing...

"I'm sure you've already seen what happened to Whitebeard. We'll kill you and turn you into one of those undead creatures, forcing you to obey us," Sylvanas said.

Upon hearing this, Moonlight Moria's expression changed drastically. To be killed and then controlled by the enemy was a very shameful thing.

Fine, I'll just pretend to agree for now. As soon as I'm free, I'll find a way to escape.

“Hehe, I agree to serve you,” Moonlight Moria said.

Rhodes and Sylvanas exchanged a glance; this fat guy was definitely up to no good!

With such an obvious intention to escape, who are you trying to fool?

“Forget it, I think we should use fel energy to turn it into a demon, or transform it into a death knight, and then put it in a slave contract!” Rhodes said.

"Can your soul power withstand it?" Sylvanas asked.

Chapter 92 Soul Energy, Devil Fruit Stealing Experiment

Sylvanas was somewhat worried about Rhodes's soul energy.

Whether it's signing a soul contract or a demon enslavement contract, both require consuming one's own soul energy; otherwise, a warlock could continuously summon demons.

Then, by enslaving the enemy, given enough time, one could easily create an army of demons.

Rhodes hasn't recovered the soul energy he used to sign with Whitebeard!

We shouldn't be able to sign a second person in the short term, and it wouldn't be worth wasting the opportunity on someone like him.

This guy's ability is only to help himself create the Forgotten Ones; it's of no use to Rhodes.

"I can't, but you can! Sylvanas, your soul power is extremely strong right now."

"After consuming the Fruit of the Underworld, the most important thing is the enhancement of your soul," Rhodes said.

Signing a soul contract is a very precious opportunity, and only those with sufficiently strong combat power would allow Rhode to waste his soul energy.

Rhode's soul energy is currently recovering, and he will not sign a second contract until it is fully restored.

However, while he himself could not, Sylvanas could. After consuming the Soul Fruit, Sylvanas's soul had become much stronger.

It's important to know that in the original story, Brook's soul was capable of many things, and even to some extent, it countered Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit.

Moreover, Sylvanas, being an undead creature, is more adept at using soul abilities.

"If you put it that way, then it's not entirely impossible."

"Once we return to Azeroth, I'll prepare some materials for converting him into a Death Knight, then I'll enslave him," Sylvanas said thoughtfully, nodding.

"Or we have another way, you have many loyal dark rangers under your command."

"Just pick one person from here, and then eat that guy's fruit," Rhodes said.

“That’s a good idea. Our Devil Fruit stealing experiment can probably begin soon,” Sylvanas said.

Rhodes and Sylvanas nodded to each other, ignored Moria's frantic shouting, and left the prison, returning to Kaido's residence on Onigashima.

There are only two fates awaiting this fat man: either he will be transformed into a death knight and enslaved, or he will be killed and have his Devil Fruit powers stolen.

“That’s how it is, Father-in-law. We plan to begin our Devil Fruit extraction experiments,” Rhodes said.

"Hmm, is it possible to steal the Devil Fruit or not? I've been eyeing Orochi's Yamata no Orochi Fruit for a long time," Kaido said.

If Rhodes and Sylvanas succeed, that would be wonderful, and I wouldn't need to try to find Blackbeard anymore.

“We’re not entirely confident yet. Why don’t you go and capture two Zoan-type Devil Fruit users so we can test it out first?” Rhodes suggested.

Now, Sylvanas and I only know the principle: first, we need to extract the power of the Devil Fruit and then inject it into an ordinary fruit.

However, we still need to conduct research and experiments to carry out the actual operation, so Kaido, you need to provide us with some materials.

"You idiot, even ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits are very precious. How about I give you a few artificial Devil Fruit users to experiment with?" Kaido said.

You little brat, do you think Devil Fruit users are commonplace? Even Zoan-type Devil Fruit users are rare.

Kaido's plan was to first experiment with artificial Devil Fruits. Many of Kaido's subordinates were artificial Devil Fruit users, but he intended to use these subordinates for death experiments.

It's obviously a bit inappropriate, after all, as the boss, you can't slaughter your subordinates for no reason.

These artificial Zoan Devil Fruit users are the backbone of the Beasts Pirates, not just any random nobody.

Just then, a new batch of artificial Devil Fruits was delivered, and Kaido planned to find a few of the slaves he had captured earlier and have them take the artificial fruits to participate in the experiment.
