One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Chapter 87: Ready to Go, Let the Curtain Rise!

Loud cries echoed through the hall, and large tears fell to the ground with a pattering sound, like a light rain.

"If I hadn't eaten that fruit, I wouldn't have started my own business and gone to Wano Country."

"If I hadn't run to Wano Country, I wouldn't have killed Kozuki Oden."

"If I hadn't killed Kozuki Oden, I wouldn't have become enemies with Newgate, and we'd still be good brothers drinking together!"

Kai let out a tremendous snot snot and smashed the wine jar in his hand to pieces.

"Just surrender to Whitebeard!"

He picked up a jar of wine again and drank it down with each sip, his sobs growing louder and louder.

Strangely, neither Jhin nor anyone else remained silent in the face of this scene, and not a single person went up to offer any advice.

Because they were already used to their eldest son going on drunken rampages.

Whenever Kaido gets drunk, he will cry and make a scene, then start reminiscing about old times, before going back to doing whatever he was doing once he sobers up.

Rather, the members of the Beasts Guild were relieved to hear the commotion.

铿—

The fact that Kaido can still act so recklessly while drunk shows that he doesn't take the Whitebeard Pirates seriously at all.

Standing behind him, Quinn muttered under his breath, "Thinking about Charlotte Linlin again, huh?"

Those who know Kaido are aware of the untold story between him and Big Mom.

Buzz—

Just as Quinn finished complaining, a terrifying aura swept across the hall, causing the hundreds of candles in the hall to flicker as if they too were frightened by the aura.

Kaido's drunkenness vanished instantly, and he stared intently in Queen's direction.

Say that again!

Queen's fat jiggled as he forced a calm expression and said, "Boss Kaido, I was just talking about artificial Devil Fruits!"

Playing around is fine, but don't joke about Kaido and Big Mom.

Even Quinn, who was known for his unreliability, was well aware of this.

Upon hearing this, Kaido's expression softened slightly, and he coldly snorted, "Speak."

Considering Queen's unique contribution, Kaido decided to spare him from taking a Thunder Bagua attack.

This unique contribution is precisely the artificial Devil Fruit.

Years ago, Quinn was a member of a secret scientific organization called "MADS".

This organization has long since disbanded, but its members are all very famous, such as Begabank, the first scientist hailed as "the one whose wisdom has led the world for five hundred years".

Although Quinn left MADS a long time ago, he has not lost contact with some members of the organization, including Caesar Cullen.

For years, Caesar Clown has been hiding in a secret base, conducting research on artificial Devil Fruits, and has achieved some results.

During this time, Donquixote Doflamingo collaborated with him, having Caesar Clown send the semi-finished products to his factory for processing, and finally produced a batch of barely usable artificial Devil Fruits.

The shrewd businessman Doflamingo immediately contacted Kaido and sold the Devil Fruits to the Beasts Pirates.

However, these fruits are still very unstable. Many of the Beast Pirates' test subjects turned into laughing idiots after eating them, and only a few people successfully gained stronger power.

Even so, this is still a very worthwhile project for Kaido.

The Beast Pirates have no shortage of guinea pigs. Even if thousands or tens of thousands of people are ruined, as long as a few hundred people obtain the power of artificial Devil Fruits, Kaido will have a powerful army!

Queen was in charge of observing and experimenting with artificial Devil Fruits. He cleared his throat and said, "Boss Kaido, the physical condition of the several successful test subjects is very stable."

"You can join the next battle!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido laughed with satisfaction, "Oh ho ho ho, in that case, I'm even more confident in defeating that old bastard Newgate!"

He is cunning and cautious by nature, and has no intention of leaving Wano Country to launch an attack on the Whitebeard Pirates.

By simply relying on the natural barrier of the waterfall and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, Whitebeard would be no match for them!

However, Kaido knew how terrifying Whitebeard was; he was a man who could fight Rocks one-on-one back in the day, so he absolutely couldn't be careless.

Therefore, he instructed Quinn to expedite the formation of several test subjects into combat forces to ensure the success of the war.

Just as everyone was about to continue discussing the next arrangements, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the main hall.

"What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Kaido's expression changed, and he looked somewhat puzzled.

Without a doubt, it was his beloved daughter, Yamato.

Ever since Kaido put bomb handcuffs on Yamato, he's stopped caring about this crazy girl, since she can't escape Wano Country anyway.

The big signboard members were also taken aback when they saw Yamato.

Everyone in the Beasts Pirates knows about Kaido's close relationship with Yamato. Yamato rarely comes to the Onigashima Palace, so what's going on today?

Yamato ran up to Kaido, panting, her little face flushed. She stared intently at her father, her eyes filled with determination.

"If you have nothing to do, get lost. Don't come here and cause trouble."

Kaido impatiently clenched his teeth.

Suddenly, Yamato took a deep breath and shouted, "I'm not going to be Kozuki Oden anymore!"

ha? ? ?

Her shout startled even the composed and calm Jin, and the others were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

You heard right, Yamato has taken countless blows from Kaido over the years, but he has never given up on his dream of becoming Kozuki Oden.

Is this a case of possession?!

boom!

Kaido suddenly stood up, and the movement was so fast that the air itself made a muffled sound.

"You brat, no, you little brat, you've finally figured it out?"

Kaido was overjoyed, and for a moment he was a little unaccustomed to it.

He was driven crazy by Yamato. He had a lovely daughter, but Yamato kept calling himself a man, making it seem like he was raising a Kozuki Oden!

He was overjoyed to see that his daughter had finally come to her senses.

Yamato's talent is top-tier even in the entire ocean. If he continues to grow smoothly, he will have no problem taking over the Beast Pirates. He just needs a normal brain.

Just as Kaido was overjoyed, Yamato suddenly declared, "I'm not going to be Oden anymore! I'm going to surpass Oden, defeat you, and liberate this country!"

boom!

With a loud bang, Kaido swung his staff with lightning speed, sending Yamato soaring into the air like a star, smashing a hole in the ceiling of the main hall before disappearing from sight.

"continue."

Kaido sat back on his throne expressionlessly, casually tossing the bloodstained spiked club aside.

Jin stared silently at the ceiling for a moment before looking away.

He wasn't worried about Yamato; given the girl's constitution, this level of punishment was nothing.

Just for a fleeting moment, he seemed to sense an unfamiliar presence on the ceiling.

Oh well, I guess it was because my emotions were too volatile that my Observation Haki malfunctioned.

Just like Kaido, he was overjoyed, but then realized he had been overthinking things.

Jin sighed silently. How could Oden's mental pollution be so easily eradicated?

On the other side of Ghost Island.

Yamato limped up to Sith, revealing a toothless mouth and a pitiful smile.

"Mr. Seven of Bamboo, did you succeed?"

She pressed for more details.

Sith looked at her horribly injured face and frowned, asking, "Yamato, are you really alright?"

It has to be said that Kaido is indeed ruthless; he's beating his own daughter to death!

Yamato casually wiped away the blood from his nose and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!"

She only cared whether the Seven of Bamboo plan succeeded.

Just now, Sith asked Yamato to cooperate with him and find a way to divert Kaido's attention and help Sith complete his secret operation. So Yamato confidently went to find Kaido.

Sith never expected that this guy would achieve his goal in such a brutal way.

He smiled and nodded: "Thanks to you, Yamato, I'm all ready."

While Yamato and Kaido were having a tender father-daughter moment, Sith used Night Hunt to sneak into the main hall, then used Mirror of Deception to record Kaido's appearance before making his escape unnoticed.

Everything is ready; now it's time to begin the great battle!
