I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

She felt remorseful as she followed the group slowly down the mountain.

Let me mention two things about the interrogation post.

Let me mention two things about the interrogation post.

1. I found someone in a post saying that when Higuma faked his death for the first time, he said that Kaido treated him like a brother... and was concerned about whether he could make it come back to life.

Seeing this, I felt deeply gratified. I didn't expect that the foreshadowing from hundreds of chapters ago would still be remembered by some people... just kidding.

When I saw this, I was completely baffled.

why?

I never wrote such a plot! Who added this scene for me?

Startled, I quickly checked the previous text and found that the above plot appeared in Chapter 374... in the interlude.

That's right, it's not in the main text, it's in the side post.

The post fabricated a friend out of thin air, adding a scene for Kaido...

And then they actually took it seriously? I'm quite confused.

Don't take what's said in those posts seriously!

As I've written this book, I've received quite a few arguments against it, using secondary interpretations from various books or online forums.

Some even used imagined scenarios from online posts to criticize me.

For example, in a thread on a certain chapter, someone commented, "The author wouldn't write it like this, would he?" and then they imagined a terrible plot for me.

The next few comments said, "I'm dropping the book if it's written like this," then fast-forwarded to "Author, stop being disgusting," and started criticizing me...

Another time, I remember when this book was first published, it was about the whale Laboon at Twin Capes.

I wrote that the whale Laboon has blue sky and white clouds inside its belly.

Then someone jumped out and said I messed up the original setting, how could there be blue sky and white clouds inside a whale's belly? I dropped the book.

Then he abandoned the book...

Actually, there really is blue sky and white clouds inside Laboon's belly, which was drawn by Crocus... I explained this in the following paragraphs of that original chapter.

It's quite confusing that he said I made random changes because he didn't remember the original plot clearly.

...

In short, it's all fake news, don't take these posts seriously.

By the way, dear readers, please don't use the secondary settings in this book to argue against other One Piece fanfics.

For example, the truth behind the tragedy at the Sheep Family Mansion in this book, and the elite generals of the twelve zodiac signs.

....................

2. Since we've started a separate chapter, let's also talk about the power struggles in the side posts.

Since I started writing this book, there have been many arguments about power levels in the comments. After all, it's a One Piece fanfic, and arguing about power levels is a daily occurrence.

For example, if A is the best in the world, B can't possibly beat A. How many admirals could Whitebeard defeat?

Some people are arguing with me about combat power or other secondary settings, and the fact that their arguments are getting likes shows that some people agree with them.

Then I can only provide further explanation later.

However, the more explanatory text I insert, the more tedious the chapter becomes, and it's not a pleasant writing experience for me either.

It's a vicious cycle.

Arguing about strength is pointless; who can you convince online anyway?

If you want to argue about combat strength, please go to the forum.

Therefore, I may delete or ban any posts about debating combat strength that I see in the future.

........

Below is a passage from the book that was written earlier, concerning combat strength.

.......

Even the world's top experts have weaknesses; none of them are invincible.

It is not uncommon for the weak to find the weaknesses of the strong, or to overcome the strong through various strange abilities.

If Perona, the user of the Spirit-Spirit Fruit, were a little ruthless, she could have wiped out the Straw Hat crew on their very first meeting.

But is she stronger than Luffy, Zoro, or even the entire Straw Hat crew?

Without the legendary Usopp, Sugar, the user of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, could easily defeat Luffy and Law.

But is she stronger than Luffy and Law?

Jhin kicked the entire Big Mom crew over with one kick. Big Mom can fly, and as a result, no one in the crew could resist and they all fell into the sea. So Jhin is stronger than the entire Big Mom crew?

Usopp > Sugar & Perona > Luffy > Morgan > Garp > Roger

So Usopp could defeat Roger in two slingshots?

There is no such thing as the Four Emperors Realm, the Great General Realm, or the Quasi-Great General Realm in this world.

Those who can overcome those of higher level are geniuses who appear only once every few centuries, extremely rare.

On this vast ocean, it is difficult for the weak to defeat the strong, but it is not impossible.

Wald, Lone Red, Big Mom, Kaido... these people all have their own weaknesses.

Not only great pirates, but also the admirals of the Navy have weaknesses.

Their weaknesses only become apparent when the plot of the original work progresses to the point where the main characters need to defeat a Marine Admiral.

Chapter 917 The Four Emperors Gather in Wano Country

The coast of Wano.

When Sig and the others returned to the coastline, they discovered that the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh, and Shanks had already left.

Sieg looked at Barrett, Aling, Stussy and the others around him, and suddenly felt a surge of pride.

If we include Ah Ling...

Red-Haired Shanks, Whitebeard Newgate, Kaido of the Beasts, plus Arya who isn't Big Mom...

The next leg of the journey to Onigashima will involve the gathering of the Four Emperors of the High Seas.

Apart from Kaido... the other three are all on Higuma's side.

To be precise, it wasn't entirely because of Sieg's influence.

The Whitebeard Pirates, Shanks, and Rayleigh all came because of Oden.

"Once this war is over, I'll return to the Thriller Bark in the Paradise Segment of the Grand Line, build two hundred Pluto ships, and then set sail again..."

Sig muttered to himself.

With high spirits, Sig led the bandits aboard the swamp gas ironclad ship, sailing alongside Barrett's catapult, with Ashura Doji's ship close behind.

"set off!"

............

Onigashima, Kaido's stronghold.

Every year during the Fire Festival, the current Shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi, brings his subordinates and the Beasts Pirates to gather here for fun.

Wano Country has been closed off for many years, and there have been no outsiders for a long time.

Moreover, the local rebellious samurai had already been largely wiped out by Kurozumi Orochi.

In Wano Country, Kaido himself is a mythical figure of immortality; apart from Oden, no one has ever been able to wound him.

Therefore, the pirates were carefree and got drunk during the celebration.

But on this day...

As the sun began to set, several small boats carrying down-on-their-luck samurai broke through the waves and docked at the edge of Onigashima's coast.

"The samurai are attacking; there are thousands of them..."

"The people who led this group of samurai were the last four of the Red Scabbards who had previously served Oden."

The Oniwabanshu ninjas surrounding Orochi immediately reported this news to Orochi and Kaido.

"The Red Scabbards? They're still here..." Orochi's expression changed slightly.

Kaido, sitting next to him, waved his hand dismissively.

"They're just a bunch of stray dogs. They chose to come during the banquet. Looks like they're trying to give us some amusement."

Kaido stood up.

He was extremely tall and muscular, like a small giant, with a bare upper body full of powerful muscles, except for a diagonal cross-shaped scar on his ribs.

Kaido has bull horns on his head and a burly physique. When he stands up, a powerful sense of oppression arises spontaneously.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

Kaido gulped down a mouthful of wine and climbed the stairs step by step, with Orochi following closely behind.

Climbing to the top of the tower, one can see the battle raging on the coastline of Ghost Island in the distance.

sunset.

The blood-red sunset dyed half of the shimmering sea red, like blood spreading out.

"Relinquishing fame and wisdom..."

The surviving warriors raised their swords aloft on the sailboat, letting out a unified roar that shook the heavens.

Abandoning name and wisdom, discarding everything, emptying their minds, they launched a final, desperate charge.

Four fully armed Akazaya warriors stood at the front of the crowd.

The setting sun is like blood.
