I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

There are other people around Kaido... and the situation on Kaido's side...

Doflamingo asked cautiously:

"Did I call at the wrong time? Kaido, what happened on your end?"

"Just say what you have to say." Kaido's voice carried a hint of anger, seemingly directed at Doflamingo for the sudden phone call.

"I'm just doing a little exercise," Kaido growled.

"Sports..." Doflamingo paused, then blurted out:

"Group sex?"

Kaido replied coldly;

"For me, this is just a warm-up exercise."

He had barely finished speaking when the Den Den Mushi in his hand changed its expression again, and the voice transformed into that of another male pirate:

"Lord Kaido...you're bleeding!"

"Are you alright?"

"Should we take a break and let Lord Quinn and the others take over?"

"Shut up!" Kaido's voice snapped.

Upon hearing the name Queen, Doflamingo instinctively pictured Queen's plump and juicy body... His hand trembled, and he almost dropped the Den Den Mushi.

At that moment, Kaido's cold voice came through the Den Den Mushi again.

"JOKER, are you spying on me?" Kaido warned calmly.

"I don't think we're that close yet, are we?"

Doflamingo was initially startled, but then suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

It's alright...

Kaido was angry that Doflamingo had spied on his private affairs... but he was clearly not interested in Doflamingo, saying that he was not familiar with him.

Doflamingo subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.

As a powerful figure in the underworld, he had been trying to curry favor with Kaido, but now, after clinging to that favor, he discovered something was amiss deep within Kaido's inner circle...

Kaido is truly a terrifying man!

"JOKER? Did you call to tease me?"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Kaido urged coldly.

Doflamingo took a deep breath and spoke rapidly:

"The Navy has summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea, including myself, and the army is currently heading towards the New World."

"The Navy's target for this expedition is likely either the Whitebeard Pirates or the Red-Haired Pirates, two of the Four Emperors."

"Oh?" Kaido on the other end of the phone immediately sounded interested.

"Whitebeard, or red hair... I'm so excited!"

Kaido grinned and muttered:

"If the navy makes a move, I can take the opportunity to strike them down and cut off their escape route..."

"JOKER, well done, this is really good news."

Click.

The call was finally disconnected.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo suddenly froze, his skin crawling with goosebumps.

"Kaido wants to take this opportunity to attack Whitebeard or Shanks... This..."

He put down the Den Den Mushi, stood up, and unconsciously walked to the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, staring intently at his reflection.

"Dover, why is your back sweating?" the top officer Torrepol asked in surprise.

Doflamingo didn't answer; he just stared at himself in the mirror.

A pink feather coat, orange sunglasses, gold earrings, flashy skinny cropped trousers, and pointed-toe shoes...

Never in his life had he examined his appearance and clothing so carefully as he did now.

"Trebol," Doflamingo suddenly asked.

Do you think my outfit is a bit too revealing?

Torrepol: ? ? ?

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

During the few minutes he was on the phone, Kaido stood casually on the battlefield, not moving an inch.

While on the phone, he casually dealt with the intense advances of Kin'emon and the others.

His thoughts were still wandering, recalling his time in the Rocks Pirates.

"If it were Lox... what would he say..." he thought to himself.

In his youth, Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates, then the world's strongest crew, as an apprentice.

For Kaido, who was still young at the time and admired the strong, Rocks, the world's strongest, had a significant influence.

Among the pirate crews formed by Rocks' former crew in later generations, including the Beasts Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Flying Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates are the closest to the Rocks Pirates in terms of their situation.

The law of the jungle prevails, and internal conflicts and struggles within pirate crews are constant.

Even Kaido's own ambition to start a massive war is similar to that of Rocks back then.

Kaido's gaze was cold and aloof, standing like an unshakeable iron tower in the center of the battlefield.

Aside from the initial dual-wielding technique similar to Oden's, Kaido endured countless attacks within those few minutes, yet remained virtually unscathed.

Click.

Kaido hung up the Den Den Mushi in his hand and put it back into his pocket.

Then, Kaido shifted his gaze back to Kin'emon and the others, speaking calmly:

"You guys are done fighting?"

A soft voice echoed throughout the hall.

This immediately silenced the pirates who had been in a commotion and shock, and they sat down again, laughing and joking.

Once Kaido got serious, Kin'emon and his three companions were no longer a threat.

He coldly stared at the last four Red Scabbard warriors standing before him, their bodies covered in blood.

"You've grown stronger, the last of the Red Scabbards. You've finally broken my skin, and I'm gratified," he said calmly.

By this time, the sun had already set.

The sun sets in the west, and the bright moon rises.

The bleeding from the cross-shaped wound on Kaido's abdomen has stopped.

Not only that, Kin'emon and the others could vaguely see that the separated flesh at the wound was wriggling slightly, and was beginning to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This caused Kin'emon and the others, who were covered in blood, to tremble involuntarily.

Yes... this is a battle that makes you feel utterly hopeless.

This is a despair even deeper than the previous one... Kaido gives these samurai a glimmer of hope for revenge, only to destroy it with his own hands.

"Is this what immortality is?" Kin'emon murmured.

They possess an invincible physique, impervious to blades and spears, and capable of being cut only by the most powerful sword techniques they have mastered.

And... an almost supernatural ability to recover.

“I only give opportunities once,” Kaido said again.

"I wanted you to kill me... but you've disappointed me..."

"The wounds you made were too shallow! They didn't even hurt my muscles!"

After saying this, Kaido turned his back and ignored Kin'emon and the others, walking away step by step with his back to them.

As Kaido turned away, Kin'emon and the others, who were already at their limit, exchanged glances again, and then forced themselves to assume the same stance.

"Oden's Two-Sword Style-----"

Kin'emon and the others are poised to unleash their final blow.

But this time, Kaido did not turn around.

"Boring," he commented.

"The game should end now."

At the last moment of Kin'emon and the others' attack, Orochi, sitting high on the small building, suddenly smiled mischievously and smashed the wine cup in his hand, the crisp sound of it shattering carrying far and wide.

And the next moment.

puff-----

A large calligraphy brush, as big as a spear, was thrust into Kin'emon from behind, piercing his back completely.

Fresh blood flowed down, staining the brush blood red.

Kin'emon turned around in disbelief.

Under the pale moonlight, he saw a face with long red hair and skin as white as a ghost.

"Sorry, I'm the mole." Kanjuro let out a sinister laugh.

"My real name is Kurozumi Kanjuro."

"How...how could this be?" Kin'emon and the others fell into a new level of despair.

Their companion, who had been on the run with them for eight years, turned out to be the mole!

He thought it was a heroic sacrifice to die, but he never expected that he would not only be humiliated by a powerful enemy, but also be betrayed by his comrades before he died!

at this time.
