One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Kaido is Joy Boy, which is truly a shocking secret on the sea. No wonder Who's-Who, as a traitor to the World Government, would turn against him.

Although Momonosuke Kozuki is not yet twenty years old, he will not be like his deceased father, so easily believing someone's words, especially someone with a criminal record, who is a former traitor. He must be wary of Foz-Foe's double-crossing tactics.

He wanted the other party to show more sincerity. Some semi-public information on Onigashima was not enough to persuade the son of the general. "Since you want to kill your own captain, these words alone are not enough to gain my trust. I want to know more secrets about Kaido, so you know what I mean."

Foz Foz carefully examined Momonosuke on the hospital bed. He hadn't expected that he had misjudged him; the other party really didn't seem to be a member of the Kozuki clan. "Finally, the Kozuki clan has produced someone with a normal head. I will show my sincerity," said one of the strongest True Fighting Six, as he pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

The reason he sought an alliance with Kozuki Momonosuke was because he highly valued Momonosuke's Devil Fruit ability and physical attributes. If they were to truly defeat Kaido, Momonosuke would be an indispensable asset. Others might not have been able to withstand more than a few blows from his spiked club, but Momonosuke's high defense and health made him a perfect tank in the front.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is there something you need, Who's-Who? I've already reported your situation to the Five Elders, and they've agreed to the plan to eliminate Kaido. They'll send the Knights of God to help us deal with this Yonko at the right time."

"Lucci, I've found another ally here, a man with a blood feud with Kaido for destroying his country. He can withstand a few blows from that monster. I'm going to bring Kozuki Momonosuke in too; more people means more fighting power and a better chance of winning."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Lucci and the others replied to Foz-Follow through intelligence analysis: "Ada has some information about Kozuki Momonosuke in her mind. According to the records, he is the son of Kozuki Oden. According to the time, he has been missing for more than 20 years. Are you sure that this partner is him?"

Who's-Who gave CP0 a long explanation on the other end of the phone, which made them reluctantly believe that Kozuki Momonosuke was the real person. Since the Kozuki clan wanted to reclaim Wano Country, they should stand on the same path as the World Government and take down Kaido as their common goal.

Upon hearing the CP0 agent on the other end of the phone invite Kozuki Momonosuke to join the team to defeat Kaido, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Who's-Who, you really are a traitor! I thought you were just talking, but you've already found a new ally so quickly. As long as we can take down Kaido, cooperating with the World Government is fine."

The three parties quickly reached an agreement: to defeat Joy Boy again, those who joined the expedition must fight with all their might. Who's Who shared more information about Kaido.

"His white Armament Haki is actually derived from the power of the sun," Momonosuke exclaimed in shock as he jumped out of bed upon hearing Who's Who's Who's Ex.

"Everyone in the latter half of the Grand Line knows Armament Haki, but it's just a crude way of attaching it to the body to increase one's attack and defense. The advanced Armament Haki techniques passed down through generations in Wano Country are not unique," Who's Who explained his understanding of Armament Haki, unveiling the mystery of Haki to the world.

The most basic Armament Haki is simply attached to the surface of the body. Although this ability can attack the body of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the natural damage inherent in Logia-type Devil Fruit users will still injure the attacker. This is the lowest level of Armament Haki.

The next level up is the Wano Country's Ryuo technique, which allows Haki to flow like liquid, gathering and wrapping around the body to form an invisible, intangible armor. When attacking Logia-type Devil Fruit users, this method avoids direct contact with the opponent's natural abilities, raising both offensive and defensive capabilities to a new level.

"Twenty years ago, your father, Kozuki Oden, used two famous swords to imbue Kaido with Armament Haki—Ryuo—leaving him with indelible scars. That would be impossible today. He inherited Joy Boy's solar power, and Ryuo-level Armament Haki can no longer penetrate his defenses. You should have already witnessed that."

Momonosuke Kozuki nodded. He had indeed discovered this during his battle with Kaido. The Ame no Habakiri, imbued with Armament Haki - Ryuo, didn't even leave a mark on this Yonko. He truly deserved to be called the strongest creature on the sea.

"You made a fatal mistake: you can't fight Kaido during the day. This monster is invincible under the sunlight. The best time to carry out a decapitation strike against Kaido is when there is no sun."

The white Haki that Kaido wraps around his spiked club is a result of his secondary development of Joy Boy's abilities, which he mastered to create an Armament Haki stronger than Ryuo, and he named it Polar Day.

Who's Foz transformed his right hand into a tiger claw, channeling his Haki into it. Soon, the color of his Armament Haki changed from black to white, revealing to the two samurai the Armament Haki of the Midnight Sun. "You've already experienced the power of this Haki, but it has a drawback. Unlike black Armament Haki, the Midnight Sun Armament Haki isn't generated from within the body. Instead, it's stored by absorbing sunlight, and you use only what you store during battle."

The reason why you can't fight Kaido during the day is because he can continuously replenish his polar day energy through sunlight. Under this state of Armament Haki, no one has yet been born who can defeat him.

"As long as we use nighttime battles to wear down Kaido's Polar Day Armament Haki, even if he's an absolute monster, there's always a limit to the amount of solar energy he can store. Using this method, our chances of winning are at least 50%."

A series of battles? That's quite the treatment for a strong person. Kozuki Momonosuke isn't as foolish as his father. Since he had the opportunity to gang up on Kaido, he chose to abandon his plan to kill Kaido one-on-one. Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them!

Having exhausted Kaido's Polar Day Armament Haki, what other abilities does the opponent have left? "I want to know why there's only a 50% chance of winning. Without the boost from Polar Day, how much stronger can Kaido be?"

Who's Who removed his red horned helmet, allowing those inside and outside the light screen to see his expression. It was a fear that words could not describe, and cold sweat slid down his face. "If Kaido were to fully enter Joy Boy's state, the temperature inside and outside his body would be infinitely close to that of the sun. Under that terrifying enhancement, even Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, would be no match for him."

Most people don't have a clear concept of exactly how hot the sun is.

Chapter 110 Crush

One of the Four Emperors defeated another, which is the most valuable information tonight. That concludes the footage of Who's Foz.

Guided by the light screen, Kozuki Momonosuke once again challenges Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, to compete for the title of the strongest creature on the sea.

The scene depicts a storm raging, with the battle taking place on Onigashima, the base of the Beasts Pirates, where another true 1v1 battle is unfolding.

The challenger and the challenged had a significant height difference. Most people had only seen Kaido's appearance on wanted posters. When his entire body was exposed on the screen, it weighed heavily on the audience's hearts like a mountain.

In contrast, Momonosuke Kanzuki is nearly two meters tall, which not only makes him appear taller but also gives him a significant advantage in terms of presence. He is determined to challenge such a terrifyingly strong opponent. Ordinary people would be terrified if they stood in front of Kaido.

Kaido was used to being challenged, and he admired the young man in front of him who was not yet twenty years old. He said, "Momonosuke, my promise to you still stands. Join the Beasts Pirates. I'll add one more spot for you as a calamity."

Despite being recruited by one of the Four Emperors, Momonosuke remained unmoved. He harbored a deep resentment over the murder of his father. People living in Wano Country have an innate sense of shame, and there are certain bottom lines that cannot be crossed.

He had been training silently for the past five years, all for the purpose of avenging Kaido and Orochi. Even if he died on this path of revenge, this young man would never compromise.

"Kaido, I will never forgive you for the hatred of my parents! You'd better give me your life!" Kozuki Momonosuke's skin turned red and dragon scales grew on it. He entered the Zoan-type Beast Mode and his body instantly grew two meters tall, becoming a red half-dragon.

He abandoned his father's famous sword, Ame no Habakiri, and chose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. In the previous few fights, he had tried using the sword, but it was impossible to break through the opponent's body defense. The force of the recoil transmitted from the sword even knocked the weapon out of his hand.

"Red Dragon Fist"

With Armament Haki enveloping his left and right fists, and a ring of black and red lightning wrapped around them, Momonosuke attacked Kaido's face with the help of Armament Haki and Ryuo.

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, did not make any dodging movements, letting the opponent's dragon fists rain down on his face. Every punch the challenger threw was accompanied by the sound of air being cut. It can be said that Momonosuke did his best to vent his hatred for Kaido, but what about the actual effect?

Despite taking so many punches, Kaido didn't retreat an inch. The Conqueror's Haki attack didn't cause him the slightest damage; not even a piece of skin was lost, and the parts that were hit didn't even turn red. Kozuki Momonosuke's attack was nothing to this Yonko.

"You've been beating me for nothing all this time, now it's my turn! Polar Day Thunder Bagua!" Kaido's spiked club was enveloped in white Armament Haki, with red and black lightning of Conqueror's Haki swirling around it. This was just his most basic attack move.

The spiked club came crashing down, knocking the half-dragon Momonosuke to the ground with a single blow. Even though he had used Armament Haki to defend his head beforehand, the blow still caused him to vomit blood and his head to buzz. He was definitely going to suffer a concussion.

However, having already experienced being a punching bag, Kozuki Momonosuke wasn't instantly killed by a single blow this time. He slowly got up in front of Kaido, spitting out his fallen teeth along with blood. "Kaido, have you gotten old? Doesn't this stick hurt much when you hit someone?"

If it weren't for the blood still remaining on Momonosuke's chin, the audience would have actually believed his lies. He was really badly hit by Kaido's blow, but even so, he was still stubborn.

"I can hand over Kurozumi Orochi to you. As for Kozuki Oden's death, I was at most an accomplice. Join my Beasts Pirates and I will allow you to return to Wano Country as a shogun. This is my greatest sincerity." Kaido's heart was filled with appreciation for talent. He especially liked Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and the other party was a dragon-man like him. He was willing to be very patient in order to recruit Kozuki Momonosuke.

"Shut up! The Kozuki family has never yielded to anyone, never!" Momonosuke launched another attack on his father's killer, even though he knew it was futile. The boy did not stop.

"Polar Day, Thunderous Bagua"

Kaido used the same move again, this time sending the half-dragon Momonosuke flying. His figure shot over a hundred meters away, instantly crashing into more than a dozen buildings. Only with the passive obstruction of these buildings was he finally able to stop.

Amidst the rubble and ruins, Momonosuke Kozuki crawls in the shadows, determined to rise again and challenge Kaido once more. This powerful will is commendable.

"Momonosuke, unleash your strongest trump card! I'll show you what true power is; in this vast ocean, the weak have no place."

Kaido's words clearly provoked Kozuki Momonosuke. The somewhat disheveled half-dragon, with one of his dragon horns broken off, said, "Just what I wanted. It's time to test the results of my five years of training here. Master Barret, bless me."

A hundred-meter-long red dragon suddenly rose from the ground, and Momonosuke Kozuki entered his Zoan-type Beast form, completely disappearing from his previous half-dragon form.

Red Dragon was surrounded by auspicious clouds, which gave him the ability to fly. Kozuki Momonosuke flew directly above Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. "Kaido, let's settle this with one move. Even if this move will consume my lifespan, I will do it for my parents."

A blue flame appeared from the red dragon's body, and soon the sea of ​​fire that was generated on its own enveloped the red dragon's entire body, forming a blue fire dragon that was nearly a thousand meters long in the picture. The huge dragon body rolled in the sea of ​​clouds, and its final expanded appearance really gave the feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

Kaido's seven-meter-tall body appeared so small in front of the thousand-meter-tall Blue Flame Dragon. Momonosuke's enormous dragon head emerged from the dark clouds, nearly a tenth the size of Onigashima, its mouth opening towards its enemy below, with blue flames brewing within.

"Crimson Dragon Torch - Dragon God's Blazing Flame"

The final roar from a red dragon unleashed a torrent of blue fire that could engulf the entire Onigashima. The terrifying sheer volume of flames dyed the sky blue as Momonosuke used his last trump card to make Kaido and Onigashima disappear together.

Looking at the dazzling blue sky above Onigashima, Kaido couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful sight! Momonosuke, join my Beasts Pirates and let's conquer the world together!"

"Polar Day - The Descent of the Three Worlds to Attract Naraku"

Spinning his spiked club, Kaido infused it with both types of Haki, and swung it into the air, unleashing a dazzling white light that enveloped everything.

Enveloped in blue flames, Momonosuke's thousand-meter-long body was covered in white light before his incredulous gaze. Faced with an absolute difference in strength, Momonosuke couldn't even struggle and was completely swallowed up by the white light.

The blue flames that could have covered the entire Oni Island were cleared from the sky, and Momonosuke's dragon body had disappeared. The light screen displayed a concluding statement about the battle.

Today's victor is Kaido of the Beasts.

Chapter 111 Formal Alliance

After listening to Momonosuke's recollections and his story, the Straw Hat crew looked at each other in disbelief. They had no concept of the billions of bounties on the Four Emperors' heads, as there were no such powerful pirates in the first half of the Grand Line. The power of the Sea Emperors had taken root in their minds.

"Is this a monster we can defeat?" Usopp was already having second thoughts. The dangers of the second half of the Grand Line made the first half seem like a game of pirates playing house.

"Actually, we're not really interested in an alliance, right Luffy?" Nami kept giving her captain meaningful glances, implying that the Straw Hat Pirates shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.

How could Luffy's clever little brain possibly understand, "Nami, what's wrong with your eyes? If they're sick, let Chopper take a look at them. A navigator can't get sick!"

Momonosuke shifted his gaze to Nami, who could only awkwardly lower her head. Conflict with any of the Four Emperors was something the little thief didn't want to see.

"If Luffy hears this news, do you still want to be the Pirate King?"

When faced with the archaeologist's joking question on the ship, Luffy laughed and replied to his crewmates, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

With the Straw Hat Pirates captain's decision, the other crew members had no choice but to go along with Luffy's madness. Even if the cowardly trio were unwilling, they had to abandon their wishful thinking and this time they had to risk their lives to accompany him.

"The three red Poneglyphs won't be handed over easily, even by the Four Emperors in their copies. I'll have to fight them then, and I'm really looking forward to it." Zoro was eager to fight against stronger swordsmen in the future. Fighting was his forte, and after five years of training on Dark Island, he longed for a fight.

The skeleton dressed in a black tuxedo didn't care who his opponent was. "Luffy, when you defeat the Four Emperors, I will create a new song for you. It would be such a pity if such an exciting event didn't deserve beautiful music."

"Leave the sea opponents to me. I am now a member of the future Pirate King's crew. How could I be afraid of a mere Yonko?" Fitz, the successor to the Sea God, would not be afraid of any Yonko. Fishmen are born with courage.

"What a bunch of brutes!" ×3, the cowardly trio exclaimed in unison. Their friends were too belligerent. If something could be resolved with fists, there was no need to waste words. It was time to reason with them after beating them into submission.

Although the crew of the Thousand Sunny is not all there, Luffy has made a decision today: "Count us in when you fight Kaido, Momo! Your dream of restoring your kingdom will definitely come true, I promise!"

Luffy's resolute expression moved Momonosuke to tears. He hadn't misjudged him after all. He hugged the Straw Hat Pirates tightly. "Joy Boy, no, Kaido, with so many forces working together, I don't believe he's invincible. What Kaido made me lose, I, Momonosuke, will take back."

Patting Momonosuke on the shoulder, Luffy comforted the boy who was younger than him, "By the way, Momonosuke, about Shanks, I fell asleep and didn't hear you clearly. Could you please tell me about it again?"

Momonosuke Kozuki: "Huh?!"

The other crew members on the ship were used to this. Since Luffy returned from his training, he would often fall asleep in his normal state. He could fall asleep while eating, while taking a bath, and even while fighting. He spent half of his day asleep.

Momonosuke could understand this kind of thing; he had seen many similar incidents involving Luffy in the past two years. As for Shanks, he had just mentioned it casually: "I learned about Shanks being defeated by Kaido from Who's Who, but I don't know the specific details."

The two Yonko crews clashed, and Who's Who didn't say why. Kaido and Shanks fought one-on-one for nearly ten days and ten nights, and in the end, Kaido entered Joy Boy's state and finally defeated the other powerful Yonko.

Both Joy Boy and Nika are related to the sun god. The battleground of the two emperors has disappeared forever in the sea, and even the nearby seawater was instantly dried up. The battle was extremely fierce.

Luffy didn't care about the outcome of the battle; he was more worried about Shanks' life and safety. Five years later, the Straw Hat boy was afraid of losing him. "So what happened to Shanks?"

Momonosuke didn't keep Luffy in suspense any longer. His words reassured Luffy, "After Shanks was defeated, Kaido didn't take his life and let the Beasts Pirates leave. He was in a real hurry when he left, as if someone he cared about was threatened and he urgently needed a Yonko to return quickly. That's all I know about him."

When Foz-Foe shared this information with him, he only told Shanks that he had left Onigashima with his blood remaining, but he didn't tell him what happened afterward. This major event was also strangely not reported in the newspapers, and most people at sea were kept in the dark.

"It's alright, it's alright."
