One Piece: From the God Valley Era

"Kaido, what's the matter?" Acnoya asked, looking at Kaido who had just walked in.

Upon hearing this, Kaido plopped down on the sofa and asked, "When do we start expanding into the surrounding areas?"

"I can't wait any longer. Life here is really comfortable, but I'm not used to not having any fights."

Kaido was born in a war-torn country, and from childhood to adulthood he was either fighting or on his way to a war. Even when he joined the Rocks Pirates, it was because he had a fight to fight, though he was also threatened.

But he was really happy in the Rocks Pirates.

Because there are fights to be had every day.

But now, the Land of Dragon Balls is too peaceful, nothing is happening, and there are no opponents here worth his attention.

Hyogoro used to be one, but now his beliefs have changed, and he has lost his former sharpness.

He had lost interest in continuing to fight Hyogoro.

As for Acnoya, he had no interest in him either, because he was completely overwhelmed and couldn't fight back at all.

Although he wanted to fight against strong opponents, he didn't want to be crushed by someone like Acnoya.

You can't learn anything from being crushed by the strong; they just kill you instantly. There's nothing more to say.

Therefore, what he needs is for the other party to be stronger than himself, but within certain limits.

Aknoa rubbed his temples and said irritably, "This place isn't even settled yet, and you're already thinking about expanding your territory."

"But there's really no use in you staying here."

"Take your men to Skypiea and see if you can find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Also, notify Skypiea to bring the gold back to me!"

"Sky Island?" Kaido paused, taken aback. "You mean the sky island you mentioned before, in the first half of the Grand Line, where the ancient golden city of Pandora is located, and where there's an incredibly powerful Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"Yes, this is the place." Acnoya nodded and said, "Just go to Mock Town on the Grand Line, then fly up there. That's the Sky Island."

"However, there are many sky islands, but some of them are connected. The location of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is a sky island called Birka."

PICK exists now. PICK will be destroyed in the future because Enel obtains the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Enel is currently just born and it is impossible for him to destroy PICK, even if he obtains the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Therefore, if Kaido goes there now, there is a high chance he will obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

After all, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is not like the Nika Fruit, which can possess its own consciousness and evade the World Government's pursuit.

Rumble-Rumble Fruit, come into my bowl!

"Hurrah, thunder, thunder fruit, golden city!" Kaido laughed loudly, "What a wonderful place!"

"Are there powerful figures above?"

Acnoya stroked his chin for a moment, then said something ambiguous: "Maybe, maybe not."

"After all, I've never been there."

"Alright..." Kaido paused for a moment, "I've accepted the Skypiea mission. Send me a few reliable people, and I'll take them up there."

"Take Xiong, Ginny, and Ivankov with you. Let them get some experience," Acunoa said.

Although the three of them are young, they are very talented, especially Xiong.

In addition, Ginny is also exceptionally gifted in intelligence gathering.

As for Ivankov, he has the potential to become the Queen of the Transvestites.

Therefore, these three should be nurtured well, as they will become the pillars of the Dragon Ball Pirates in the future.

In addition, King, Dragon, and Kaido are also future pillars.

It's fair to say that the Dragon Ball Pirates are full of pillars of strength.

Other pirate crews are lucky to have even one pillar of support, and some crews don't even have one.

For example, the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Those three?" Kaido nodded. "They are indeed very talented, and they are among the best in the entire New World."

"Especially that bear, with his Paw-Paw Fruit and his own physique, his talent is no less than mine."

"It's just that he has a problem with his mentality; he's afraid to kill, or even terrified of killing. In your words, it's... or something like that..."

"The Virgin Mary?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself, and that won't do."

"Once we get to Skypiea, I'm going to give this guy a good training session and make him a real man!" Kaido revealed a ferocious smile, which was slightly terrifying.

"Uh..." Acnoya paused, "This mission will involve a dragon going with you, with the dragon in charge."

"Huh? Why?" Kaido was dumbfounded.

"Leave the professional matters to the professionals. Your profession is combat, not education," Acnoya said earnestly. "To prevent them from going astray in the future, let the dragons educate them."

"Boss..." Kaido understood, and couldn't help but curl his lip: "You mean I don't know how to raise children?"

"Hmm!" Acnoya nodded, confirming what Kaido had said.

Kaido is indeed bad at educating people.

Otherwise, the Beasts Pirates wouldn't have ended up in such a state, with their loyalty ranking at the bottom among the Four Emperors' pirate crews.

Although Kaido wasn't in charge of education, a crooked leader leads to a crooked line.

Therefore, Kaido bears the primary responsibility.

"..." Kaido said, somewhat annoyed, "How do you know I can't do it if I don't even try?"

"Then tell me, how would you educate a child?" Acnoya looked at him with a half-smile.

"If you don't obey, I'll beat you!" Kaido said without hesitation.

"What if they still don't listen even after being hit?"

"Then..." Kaido hesitated, unable to utter the words he wanted to say.

"Then kill him!" Acnologia said. "Is that what you wanted to say?"

Kaido was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"See? Your educational methods are so simplistic and brutal. This might not be a problem in your hometown, but this isn't your hometown; it's our own country."

"Is it right for you to jeopardize the future of your own country by directly calling for war and bloodshed?"

"That's wrong!" Acnoya asked himself, then answered, "If you insist on using corporal punishment here, it will only alienate them."

"They won't like a man who wants to kill them."

"So your approach won't work here; education needs to be adapted to local conditions."

Upon hearing this, Kaido scratched his head, feeling a bit itchy.

It looks like something is about to grow out.

"Boss, you're right. Let Long handle this."

"That's right." Acnoya said with a relieved look. "Even if the bear ends up like this, we can still put him in a suitable position."

"Bears are not necessarily needed as combatants."

They have no shortage of combat personnel, but they lack talent in internal affairs.

"understood."

"Okay, go and inform them and Long that we'll set off once everything is ready!"

"yes!"
