Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

On the other hand, there is another great pirate named Kozuki Moria, who is now a Shichibukai and the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Because his second home, Wano Country, had been occupied by Kaido, he traveled thousands of miles to return to his homeland with his pirate crew to fight Kaido and try to reclaim Wano Country.

Kozuki Moria was defeated by Kaido due to his inferior strength, and he was the only one who managed to escape, while his subordinates and friends all died in the battle with Kaido.

This pirate, who upheld righteousness and justice, was still performing a naked dance in the Flower Capital during his final battle with Kaido, despite being nominally the ruler of Wano Country.

Shen Jue even suspected that the reason Kozuki Moria lost was because he saw Kozuki Oden dancing naked during his final battle with Kaido, which made Kozuki Moria laugh in anger, and then he lost to Kaido.

For twenty years, Kozuki Moria hid in the Thriller Bark, collecting shadows and the corpses of powerful figures, all in order to avenge his subordinates and friends, defeat Kaido, and reclaim Wano Country from him.

In comparison, Kozuki Oden truly becomes the ultimate clown.

If this little girl, Yamato, were to call herself Kozuki Moria, Shen Jue would think she's quite interesting and worth cultivating, and would correct her.

But the diary left by someone like Kozuki Oden completely brainwashed Yamato into a rebellious girl with serious psychological problems.

Shen Jue couldn't help but sigh.

The City of Flowers, General's Mansion.

The giant black serpent rolled off the tatami mat.

The shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi, is a short man, less than 1.5 meters tall, but his head is disproportionately large, resembling an upside-down pumpkin.

His features were squeezed in the center of his face; his nose was large and flat, his lips were thick like two sausages, and his teeth were crooked and protruding outside his lips.

Orochi is a descendant of the Kurozumi family.

Decades ago, the Kurozumi family was defeated in the power struggle in Wano Country and was wiped out.

Orochi was the sole survivor. He climbed up the ranks step by step through flattery, deception, and betrayal. First, he gained the trust of Kozuki Sukiyaki, then he colluded with Kaido to poison Sukiyaki and steal the position of Shogun of Wano Country.

At this moment, the giant snake was lying on the ground, like a fish that had been pulled ashore.

He witnessed the whole thing.

Kaido was sent flying, crashing through Onigashima.

Then he saw Shen Jue in the sky, and saw that face.

The giant snake recognized the face.

He is the shogun of Wano Country. Although he is a puppet, he has his own intelligence network.

He naturally received news of the world-shaking event of a former admiral defecting to form a new navy.

The new Fleet Admiral Shen Jue has arrived in Wano Country.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

The giant snake let out a piercing scream, so sharp it cracked the windowpane.

He collapsed to the ground, clutching his head with both hands, his whole body trembling violently.

"Why is the new Fleet Admiral here?!"

The giant snake's tears and snot streamed down its face.

He buried his face in the tatami mat, not daring to look up.

His body trembled like a leaf, so much so that even the tatami mats shook.

Ghost Island Ruins.

Kaido stood up from the rubble.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Jue in the sky.

Kaido didn't charge forward; instead, he grinned maliciously, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He stared intently at Shen Jue with the eye that wasn't covered in blood.

Kaido's drunkenness had been banished to the winds by Shen Jue's punch, and he was now in his most sober state in twenty years.

So clear-headed that I can hear my own heartbeat, so clear-headed that I can feel the cracks in my skull throbbing with each heartbeat, so clear-headed that I can recognize a fact.

He, Kaido of the Beasts, is very likely no match for the monster before him.

"This is really interesting!" Kaido roared!

"Shen Jue! I'm a pirate!"

"Someone like you!"

"Why did this happen?!"

Kaido of the Beasts drew his weapon, a giant spiked club called the Eight Precepts.

In the original storyline of the One Piece anime, this spiked club was used three times to initiate Luffy's path to becoming a god.

This allows Luffy, a user of the Gum-Gum Fruit, to master powerful abilities such as Armament Haki Ryuo, Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, and the Awakening of the Nika Fruit: Sun God Form.

Upon seeing the spiked club, Shen Jue was eager to try it out, wanting to see if he would receive the same treatment as Luffy.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

The moment Kaido burst forth from the ruins, the entire Onigashima trembled!

His legs were bent to their limit, the muscles tensed like tightly wound steel cables, and then suddenly straightened!

The rock beneath their feet was kicked into a crater tens of meters in diameter, and cracks spread in all directions in a spider web pattern!

Before the rubble even hit the ground, Kaido's figure had already torn through the air and shot straight into the sky!

He held the spiked club, the Eight Precepts, in his hand, and purple-black, overlord-colored lightning poured out wildly from the club, like countless lightning snakes ready to devour their prey!

That's the color that only appears when the dominant color is wrapped up to its extreme!

Kaido's right arm swelled up, muscle fibers rolled under his skin one by one, and blood vessels wrapped around his entire arm like thick vines, bulging from his wrist to his shoulder, and then spreading to his neck and temples.

His face contorted with rage from the force he exerted, blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth from Shen Jue's earlier blow, his teeth grinding together, fresh blood seeping from between them.

"Shen Jue!!!"

When he roared those two words, the sound wave hit Shen Jue first.

This roar, imbued with the aura of Conqueror's Haki, caused visible sound waves to explode in concentric circles, shattering the remaining ruins on Ghost Island into dust as the sound waves swept over them!

The spiked club came crashing down!

Thunderous Eight Trigrams!

This is Kaido's strongest single-target attack.

Back then, one blow sent Gear Fourth Luffy back to his original form, another caused the Nine Red Scabbards of Wano Country to crumble, and yet another made Kozuki Oden kneel down.

The moment the bat slammed into Shen Jue's head, the air was compressed to its limit, producing a sharp, ear-piercing explosion.

A visible white ring of air appeared between the spiked club and Shen Jue's head; it was air that hadn't had time to escape and was compressed into a tangible form!

The gas ring expands to its limit and then explodes, sending shockwaves outward in a ring shape!

"Brother Shen Jue, be careful!"

Seeing the horrific scene before her, Yamato screamed, but her screams were drowned out by the explosion.

However, a loud cracking sound rang out.

The sound was crisp and rapid, like someone had smashed a hundred porcelain bowls.

It's Kaido's weapon, the spiked club, the Eight Precepts.

This spiked club, which has followed Kaido in battle for decades, is a weapon that has smashed the heads of countless enemies.

The moment it touched Shen Jue's skull, it disintegrated starting from the tip of the rod.

The cracks started as fine as hair, then spread into a dense spiderweb pattern in an instant, and then the entire rod head exploded into fragments.

The spiked club shattered piece by piece.

The last piece of the handle that Kaido was holding turned into iron filings in his palm, and his hand split open, blood flowing down and scattering in the wind along with the iron filings.

Shen Jue remained completely still.

He didn't even close his eyes.

Those eyes remained open the entire time, their gaze as calm as if they were watching a leaf drift down onto their shoulder.

His skull caught the spiked club without breaking a single hair or leaving a white mark on his skin.

His hair, however, was slightly lifted by the wind stirred up by the spiked club, before gently falling back to its original position.

Shen Jue tilted her head, looking at Kaido with a hint of pity.

This sent a chill down Kaido's spine.

However, Shen Jue believes that Kaido's heart is cold for half the reason because of Yamato's words, "Brother Shen Jue, be careful."

She's clearly his own daughter, yet she sides with outsiders when her father faces a formidable enemy.

Kaido's little darling abandoned him immediately.

That's why Shen Jue looked at Kaido with pity.

"This is terrible, Kaido-sensei," Shen Jue thought to himself.

But a smile played on his lips: "You can use a little more force, Kaido."

Shen Jue's voice echoed throughout the entire Ghost Island and Flower City.

"He can't even fight back, yet he calls himself a pirate?"
