The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

Of course, he was just putting on a brave face.

Kaido had already given orders for his men to keep a close eye on the movements in Wano Country.

Today, he was just like any other day, simply going out for a stroll and having a little wine.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to enter the tavern, they caught sight of Zoro and Sima Yi looking around.

So he concealed his information and followed them.

They wanted to find out where the Straw Hat crew was gathering.

Then they would report this news to Kaido in order to claim credit.

However, he did not expect that Sima Di had already noticed him when he first started following him.

They deliberately led him to a secluded corner.

When Sima Di first yelled at him to come out, Drake thought Sima Di was trying to blow him up.

Unexpectedly, he severely underestimated the abilities of Sima Di, the nemesis of demons.

He hadn't done anything; he had only shouted something, and his body was sent flying uncontrollably.

Under the irresistible force of gravity, he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Seriously injured!

"It seems you acted on your own initiative."

Sima Di instantly discerned Drake's inner thoughts.

Do you think I'm weak, or that my strength doesn't match the rumors?

Drake fell silent upon hearing Sima Di's words.

He has always been very arrogant, but this time, he has completely stumbled.

"You're right, I admit defeat! Kill me or do whatever you want!"

"From the moment I embarked on the path of piracy, I was already prepared for this day to come."

"Heh, you're pretty tough. I won't kill you. You can leave now."

As Sima finished speaking, the immense power of heaven and earth that had been pressing down on Drake was instantly released.

Zoro did not inquire about Sima Di's decision.

Having spent so much time together, he had gained a certain understanding of Sima Di's style of doing things.

Emperor Sima never did anything meaningless.

Moreover, he is a ruthless person.

Especially towards enemies, he believed in killing the innocent rather than letting the guilty go free; this was the true nature of Emperor Sima.

This time, however, he chose to let Drake go, and Zoro understood why.

Emperor Sima must have had his own plans.

"You won't kill me?"

But Drake was puzzled.

We're all pirates; there's no such thing as one being more noble than the other.

Whose hands haven't been stained with blood?

What's more, it was Sima Di, his nemesis.

I don't know how much blood is on my hands.

"I won't kill you. Go back and tell Kaido to wash his neck clean, because I, Sima Di, have arrived!"

Sima Di finished speaking, then turned to Zoro and said, "Let's go."

As Sima Di and Zoro walked further and further away, Drake fell into deep thought.

This guy is amazing!

If they really fight Kaido, the outcome is hard to predict.

Should we take advantage of this opportunity and slip away?

Anyway, I haven't been a member of the Beasts Pirates for very long.

He still felt no sense of belonging to the Beasts Pirates.

"In that case, Kaido, good luck to you."

Drake hesitated for a quarter of an hour before finally making a decision and turning to walk towards the edge of Wano Country.

He gave up.

Sima Di's displayed strength made him have strong doubts about the outcome of the battle against the Beasts Pirates.

Kaido also demonstrated his strength when Drake joined the pirate crew.

This was to tell Drake that following him was absolutely the right thing to do.

Kaido is definitely a leader worth following!

But now, Drake has come to a conclusion after comparing the two.

Sima Di alone is enough to give Kaido a run for his money.

This doesn't even include the Straw Hat Pirates' main combat force and their captain, Straw Hat Boy.

These people are also a formidable fighting force that cannot be ignored!

...

"Teach, you've been hanging around Wano Country lately, have you noticed anything about the Straw Hat crew?"

On Onigashima, Kaido was still the same as always, with his sake jug in hand. After taking a few big gulps, he looked at Blackbeard and asked a question.

Several days have passed, and the Straw Hat crew hasn't made a move at all.

This made Kaido increasingly impatient.

He's an impatient person by nature; whether it's fighting or anything else, he wants to get it over with quickly.

He was very annoyed by the dawdling!

"Although I didn't notice, I think they may have already arrived in Wano Country, but are just hiding for the time being."

"Like us, they are probably also gathering information about us in Wano Country."

Blackbeard replied.

The woman held a cake in each hand, and stuffed it into her mouth like crazy.

She casually said, "Kaido, I need some time to recover from my injuries. Although I survived this time by chance, I still suffered considerable injuries in the Lava Hell."

Kaido nodded. "No rush. If you have any requests, just say so. After we defeat the Straw Hat crew, if you have nowhere to go, our alliance can continue."

"If there's any place in Wano Country that catches your eye, just tell me, and I'll draw it for you. You can then develop your own power here!"

Kaido would never be so kind.

He was doing all of this for his own benefit.

Once the older woman is tied to him...

Under his command, it's equivalent to having two emperor-level combatants.

When that time truly comes, who in the entire world, individually, could possibly be a match for them united as one?!

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Blackbeard's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

He secretly became wary.

If these two really form a permanent alliance, it will be a considerable threat to his ambitions for hegemony!

"Hmph! Kaido! You've really got a good plan! You want me to pledge allegiance to you? You're dreaming!"

The older woman immediately made a sarcastic remark.

Although she sometimes acts erratically, she is mentally sound.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become one of the Four Emperors.

Kaido ignored the old woman's sarcasm and simply smiled.

Then he said, "This proposal is valid indefinitely. You can consider it. Wano Country welcomes you to join us anytime."

He sneered inwardly, thinking to himself...

All her sons have been killed in action. Where can she go after this battle?

Without his allies, Kaido is all alone and no longer poses any threat to him!

Although the Four Emperors possess strength, they lack influence and can only serve as stepping stones for newcomers to climb the ranks!

"Lord Kaido! Something terrible has happened! Drake has escaped!"

Just then, a pirate rushed in and reported.

"They escaped!?" Kaido frowned immediately.
