One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

However, the next second——

"I'm a member of the Roy Pirates!"

Yamato's voice was clear and firm, resounding throughout the entire hall.

"We've come to Wano Country on the captain's orders to rush to the aid of the Beasts Pirates!"

"Not because I'm your daughter!"

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became deathly silent.

Kaido's face turned ashen at a visible speed.

His hand, gripping the gourd of wine, was bulging with veins, and his knuckles were white from clenching it.

"What did you say?!"

Kaido's voice was like muffled thunder, filled with barely suppressed rage.

"You are my daughter! My blood flows in your veins! Born a beast among men, you will die a beast among men!"

"What are you talking about now, calling me a 'member of the Roy Pirates'?!"

Kaido suddenly stood up, his huge body like a moving mountain, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted!

Dark red arcs of electricity pulsed wildly inside the hall, and the air seemed to freeze!

The surrounding Beastmasters all paled and instinctively took a few steps back.

"Yamato! You get the hell here!"

Kaido roared and reached out to grab Yamato!

Yamato gritted his teeth and stepped forward instead of retreating, holding A-Jian in front of him!

"I am not your possession!"

She shouted, her eyes burning with anger that had been suppressed for over a decade.

"From childhood to adulthood, you've never treated me like a daughter! You've only ever treated me as your tool! Your heir! Your..."

"That's enough!"

Kaido roared and unleashed a punch!

This punch, imbued with the power of Conqueror's Haki, was powerful enough to shatter a small mountain!

Yamato's pupils contracted slightly, but his body remained motionless. Ken also enveloped himself in Armament Haki, ready to take the punch head-on!

At that very moment when things were about to erupt—

A black figure, like a ghost, darted between the two.

Roy raised his right hand and gently placed his palm on Kaido's fist.

boom--!!!

The two Conqueror's Haki clashed, producing a dull roar!

The tables and chairs inside the hall were instantly overturned, and countless cracks appeared on the walls!

But Roy remained completely still.

He stood there quietly, one hand on Kaido's fist, his gaze calm as he looked at the King of Beasts.

"Kaido."

Roy's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

That's enough.

Kaido glared at Roy, the muscles in his arms bulging to their limit, trying to suppress it.

But Roy's hand remained as steady as a rock.

Two of the world's most powerful Conqueror's Haki clashed fiercely in the confined space.

Dark red arcs of electricity scattered and flew everywhere, leaving countless charred marks on the ground and walls.

The surrounding Beast Cavalry didn't dare to utter a sound.

After a long silence, Kaido snorted coldly and withdrew his fist.

He sat back down in the main seat, grabbed the wine gourd, took a big gulp, and then slammed it heavily on the table.

"Roy, what do you mean?"

Kaido's voice still carried anger.

"I'm disciplining my own daughter, and you want to interfere?"

Roy withdrew his hand, looked at Kaido, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He was certainly aware of the rift between Kaido and Yamato.

In the original work, Yamato completely broke with Kaido because she admired Kozuki Oden.

Imprisoned on Ghost Island for many years, the father and daughter's relationship became like that of enemies.

And now, although Yamato didn't go down that path because of his intervention,

But how easy is it to erase the shadows of childhood?

Kaido, that brute, has absolutely no idea how to be a father.

He only knew how to conquer with force and suppress with authority.

But they never realized that what their daughter needed was understanding and respect.

"Kaido."

"Yamato is right, she's a member of the Roy Pirates now."

"I am here on my orders to come to the aid of the Beasts Pirates."

"She was doing her job, not because of your position."

Kaido's face darkened, and he was about to lash out.

But Roy's next words stunned him.

"but."

Roy paused, looking directly into Kaido's eyes.

"Her willingness to come says a lot."

"If she truly didn't care about you or the Beasts Pirates at all, she could have simply refused this mission."

But she didn't.

"She's here."

Silence fell once again inside the hall.

Kaido stared blankly at Roy, then looked at Yamato standing behind Roy, holding Ken's hand.

Yamato's gaze remained stubborn, but a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor flickered deep within his eyes.

After a long while, Kaido looked away, grabbed the gourd again, and took a big gulp.

"snort."

He didn't say anything more.

But that overwhelming anger had largely dissipated.

Roy sighed inwardly.

That's all he can do.

Ultimately, the knot in the heart between father and daughter needs to be untied by themselves.

But now, there is something even more important.

Roy sat down next to Kaido.

"ember!"

"Enough with the small talk, I need to understand the current situation in Wano Country."

Jin nodded slightly, stood up, and walked to the huge map hanging on the wall.

"The current situation in Wano Country is extremely complicated."

Jhin's finger moved quickly across the map, marking the locations of various factions.

"First of all, Kurozumi Orochi has completely sided with the World Government."

"His subordinates—including the Orochi Oniwabanshu and the samurai force he has secretly trained over the years,

They have already joined forces with CP0 and seized control of the northern sea stone mines.

"According to intelligence, there are at least two hundred CP members in the mine, as well as a large number of Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates, totaling more than a thousand people."

"The defenses of the mine have been significantly strengthened."

Roy frowned slightly.

The Seastone Mine is Wano Country's most important resource-producing area and one of the economic lifelines of its alliance with Kaido.

If the mines are occupied for an extended period, the supply of sea stone will be disrupted.

This will not only affect weapons production on Beehive Island, but will also allow the world government to obtain a large amount of strategic resources.

"In addition, we discovered that there seems to be another force outside the Flower Capital, but we have not obtained any specific information."

A cold glint flashed in Roy's eyes.

The World Government has quite the appetite, actually mobilizing so many people.

"Go on."

Jhin moved his finger towards the east of the map.

"Regarding Kozuki Oden, although he lost the support of most of the samurai two years ago due to the 'naked dance' incident."

"But many people still choose to continue following him."

"Hyogoro Hana no Hyogoro, formerly a yakuza boss in Wano Country, had hundreds of desperados under his command and was quite powerful."

"Shimotsuki Yasuie, formerly a daimyo of Wano Province, although his family has now fallen on hard times."

However, he still enjoyed high prestige among the common people and secretly funded Oden's restoration efforts.

"In addition, Kozuki Oden also gathered a large number of criminals who escaped from the Seastone mines—"

Those were rebels who had been captured by Kaido and Orochi to be forced into hard labor, and they hated the Beasts Pirates and Orochi to the core.

"According to the latest intelligence, Kozuki Oden's forces have exceeded three thousand men."

"Furthermore, the Nine Red Scabbards are traveling around, contacting more forces that are dissatisfied with Kurozumi Orochi and the World Government."

"Kozuki Oden's strength should not be underestimated. The fighting power of three thousand samurai is enough to start a large-scale civil war."

Jhin's finger finally pointed to the area around Ghost Island.

"And on our side—"
