Arceus' Pirate Journey

Izo didn't finish his words, but the smile on Whitebeard's face was gone. He was not a man of courage but no strategy. He was a great pirate in the New World. Even Charlotte Linlin had a high IQ when she was not having an attack.

Not to mention that Whitebeard is the only one among the current sea emperors who has not passed all the daily affairs on to others. He can think of everything that Izo can think of.

"Did that brat enter Wano Country..."

Whitebeard's last impression of Kaido was in the Valley of the Gods. After that, he never had a direct encounter with Kaido again. At the same time, he was also recalling Oden's past.

There was no news from Oden after that day's farewell. It was Roger who told him the news that Oden had returned to Wano Country. Although he didn't know why Oden did not keep his promise to return, he respected the other party's choice.

It now seems that after more than ten years of no news, something big might have really happened to Kozuki Oden.

"Dad, what should we do?"

"Yeah, dad, we have to find out what happened to Oden and Izo's brother!"

The surrounding pirates are all concerned about Oden and his brother Izo. These are the backbone veterans of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the new members are also trying to find out who Oden is.

"Of course we have to care. They are our family. Guys, get ready to go!"

"boom!"

Whitebeard had just given the order when something happened on the deck. Something fell on the deck, and as the dust settled, a figure walked out.

"Uh-huh, Newgate, long time no see."

Chapter 524: Declaration of War

Kaido's burly figure stood up on the Modibic. Being able to fly, he naturally had a safer way to make his debut, but that would make him look very uncool. In order to make a more deterrent appearance, he chose to jump from a high altitude.

However, it must be said that the quality of Whitebeard's flagship is still very good. An ordinary ship would probably be destroyed by Kaido's visit.

Kaido greeted Whitebeard like an old acquaintance, and those who didn't know would think he was just visiting.

But Whitebeard's expression was not so friendly, after all, this was his ship.

"Get out of the way, that's not someone you can handle!"

Although we haven't seen him for many years, it can be seen from his performance back then and the news about Kaido in recent years that Kaido has become an absolute monster, and that is not an enemy that his sons can deal with.

Looking at the members who wanted to attack him because of Kaido's invasion, the first thing Whitebeard did was to stop them.

Then, Kaido walked up to Whitebeard step by step under the gaze of all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Newgate, you are old."

Back then, Whitebeard's hat could not cover his long golden hair, but now he has wrapped his head in a turban and has many more wrinkles on his face. Although the 61-year-old Whitebeard is not yet old, he is also an old man.

Kaido is 46 years old this year, which is his prime age in the world of pirates. Edward Newgate, Rocks, and Roger are all people who have left a deep impression on him.

Seeing the monster grow old, he felt a little touched.

"You are so brave, kid. You actually dared to come to my ship. But you came at the right time. What happened to my brother Oden?"

"Is that idiot your brother? He's dead. He died seven years ago. He died in a rebellion plotted by Kurozumi Orochi."

Kaido told lies with an indifferent look on his face. There are some facts that everyone knows, but they cannot be said out loud. At least this is the current cause of Kozuki Oden's death.

He who died in Kurozumi's rebellion was the best way for the beasts to rule the country of Wano.

Oden is dead.

This word was like a thunderbolt that struck the ears of many crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Even Whitebeard's pupils tightened due to excitement. The next moment, he picked up the broadsword beside him with both hands, and the terrifying domineering aura wrapped around the blade slashed towards Kaido.

One of the Twelve Supreme Swords - Kusukome-Kiri, is the weapon that Whitebeard has used in his battles for many years. He did not use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit because if he used the power of the fruit here, the first to suffer would be his crew members.

"How could Oden die because of the conspiracy of an unknown person!?"

"Ugh, ugh, good timing!"

The Eight Precepts are also entangled with domineering aura, not the armament color, but the domineering color!

The same is true for Whitebeard's Murakumokiri. Although he is old now, he is not yet terminally ill. In a sense, the health-care medicine produced by beasts has made his body stronger.

Although he is an old man now, his strength is still at its peak and he is not yet at the point where he cannot gather the Dominant Color.

The mace and the broadsword collided with each other, and a domineering collision began. Two terrifying auras spread out from the center of the collision. The first to suffer were the crew members who were close to them. Just the collision of momentum made these pirates, who could be considered elite in the New World, fly backwards.

The railing on the side of the ship made a creaking sound, and tiny cracks appeared on the hull under the impact of the aftermath of the waves.

"Take care of the people around you! Newcomers, get out of here! This level of battle is not for you to watch!"

Marco's feet turned into bird claws and grabbed into the deck. Even he felt like he was going to fly out under the collision of this breath.

The sea was producing even bigger waves, and the clouds in the sky left as a result. The sea breeze made a roaring sound, as if the world was wailing because of the collision between the two.

On the surveillance ship in the distance, naval soldiers were roaring and reporting the information they saw.

"This is Surveillance Ship No. 127! This is Surveillance Ship No. 127! Kaido and Whitebeard are fighting on the Moby Dick. Repeat! Whitebeard and Kaido are fighting!"

After Kaido forced Whitebeard's whereabouts from another surveillance ship, the surveillance ship responsible for monitoring Whitebeard began to move. Their nerves have been tense for several days, but until today, they found that they still underestimated the world's top combat power.

.....

"Little guy, you've grown a lot over the years."

In the wrestling with Whitebeard, Kaido was not at a disadvantage at all. Whether it was his own strange strength or the entangled domineering color, he fought back and forth with Whitebeard. At this time, Whitebeard also deeply understood one thing, that Kaido is no longer the little kid he used to be.

He had lived smoothly on the ship with the protection of Charlotte Lingling, but now he had become a monster of the same level as himself.

"You are the one, old man. You are still like a monster even at your age."

"What happened to Oden?!"

"Didn't I tell you that the guy died seven years ago because of his men's conspiracy?"

boom!

The broadsword and the mace clashed again, and Whitebeard's face was already covered with anger.

"If you want to irritate me, you have already succeeded. You showed up at this time just to inform me of the cause of Oden's death!"

After Izo discovered the problem, Kaido also appeared here. It goes without saying that there is something wrong.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. This is the reality of Wano Country today. That guy’s daughter is now the general of Wano Country, and I am the protector of Wano Country. It is my territory now.

I am not here to chat with you, but to challenge you. Of course, I am not afraid if you want to fight me now, as long as you can afford the loss! "

During the wrestling process, Kaido achieved his transformation. It was not easy to escape from the battle without entering the human-beast form, and Whitebeard did not pursue him. As Kaido said, he could not bear the loss.

If they fight Kaido with all his strength now, his sons will suffer heavy casualties regardless of victory or defeat.

"A challenge?"

"We will have a showdown on this island in seven days. If you don't believe the cause of Oden's death, then defeat me there first!"

As he said this, he dropped the Eternal Pointer of an island, then grabbed the Flame Cloud and flew away. He knew very well that Whitebeard would definitely accept this invitation to fight.

This is what he thought. An all-out war is not in his interest, but he would be itching to fight if he doesn't start a war. In this case, he might as well fight Whitebeard, so that the battle can be controlled within a certain range.

However, in his heart, Oden's evaluation was lowered again. He thought that he was more than just stupid for not using the identity of Whitebeard's younger brother.

Chapter 525: Don't interfere with my fight

At that time, the Hundred Beasts was still developing. If Roger and Whitebeard had really been brought in at the same time, in order to protect the foundation he had just accumulated, he would definitely lead his men to evacuate there first.

Otherwise, he and Arceus wouldn't lose, but the Beasts might.

He is not afraid of an all-out war at this point, but the World Government and the Navy will give him a lot of trouble in the future. He does not have enough troops to drag the Red Earth Continent into the war.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the battles in the world of pirates are confrontations between top combatants. As long as he can decide the winner with Whitebeard, the outcome of the battle will be almost determined.

"Dad, let's go to Wano Country!"

"Yeah, Dad, we can't let this guy be so presumptuous!"

Kaido told the news that Oden was dead. Why was Oden's daughter the general? What happened to his son and wife? What exactly happened back then? These are the things they want to figure out.

As for the Kurozumi mentioned by Kaido, they didn't believe it, especially after hearing Izou say that Kurozumi Orochi was just an ordinary servant. In their minds, the powerful Oden would not die by such despicable means.

"No, move forward here. I will do this myself."

But after thinking it over again and again, Whitebeard rejected his sons' proposal. If Oden was still alive, Whitebeard would attack Wano Country at all costs. His family was very important, and he could accept some sacrifices to rescue his family.

The premise is that his family is still alive. The brief fight has made him understand the change in Kaido's strength. That is not an opponent he can easily deal with. In addition, due to the terrain of Wano Country, attacking there will result in huge casualties.

He would not let more sons sacrifice for the sake of their dead family members, even though it might not necessarily lead to any victory.

He also knew that the World Government and the Navy were always looking for opportunities, and a bloody fight between the two sides was not in their interests. Kaido's invitation to a duel was exactly what he wanted. As long as Kaido was defeated, many things would be simple.

So Whitebeard threw out the permanent pointer left by Kaido and gave his own orders.

"Dad, is there a conspiracy? This is the place chosen by the enemy..."

"Gulala, silly son, would I be afraid of such a conspiracy? And that guy won't do that, but let everyone be prepared, as long as I win, we will go to Wano Country."

"Yes!"

The Whitebeard Pirates headed straight to their destination, while Kaido flew back to Wano Country after a few days.

"Whitebeard and I have agreed on a place for the final battle. Although it's not an all-out war, I still have to take some people with me. Wano Country is in your hands for the time being. Those guys won't stop after hearing the news."

Kaido explained some things to Arceus. This is also the reason why the big pirates avoid all-out war. No one can be sure whether they will be stabbed from behind when fighting.

A suitable person to guard the territory is very important, so Kaido handed the matter over to Arceus with confidence.

"Don't worry, no one can invade here."

"All right, Shaina, Zeraora, Olga, I'll take the four of them, and... Yamato! Get ready, and see what the world's top combat power looks like!"

Kaido shouted to the side, he had already noticed Yamato's location.

But at this time, Kaido's Den Den Mushi rang. As Kaido picked up the Den Den Mushi, Charlotte Linlin's expression appeared on the snail.

"Well, well, Kaido, I heard that you and Whitebeard are going to go to war."

"Where did you get the news?"

"It has spread all over the sea. Haven't you read today's newspaper? Let's not talk about this anymore. Kaido, do you want to join forces with me? Let's work together to kill that Whitebeard guy, and then you and I can divide the entire New World equally!"

Listening to the voice in the Den Den Mushi, Kaido was not happy, but instead felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"Lingling."

"Ok?"

"This is a battle I'm fighting alone. If you dare to interfere, I'll kill you first!"

There was silence for a moment on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, and then Charlotte Linlin's voice became low.

"Kaido, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know it very well, but Lingling, don't interfere in my fight, understand?!"

"Well, let's just forget it if that's the case."

After saying that, she hung up the Den Den Mushi. She knew Kaido. If he really said that, if she had to intervene, he would probably attack her first. The two sides had a friendship, but the premise was that they could not touch each other's bottom line.

Kaido is a martial artist. He doesn't like outsiders interfering in his fights, especially in an agreed duel like this.

Even Kaido in the original timeline was still the same. Due to Kurozumi Kurosuke's intervention, Kozuki Oden was hit on the back of the head with a stick, but after that Kaido killed Kurozumi Kurosuke because she interfered in his battle.

Even if she didn't intervene, Kaido might not necessarily lose. Although Kozuki Oden left him with an indelible scar, he did not use the strongest human-beast form of the animal system.

Considering the animal type's recovery ability, as long as he can enter a protracted battle, he will not lose.

Kaido in the original timeline had this idea, not to mention this enhanced version of Kaido. He could go to Whitebeard's ship alone to issue a challenge, so he naturally would not let others interfere with him. He brought these cadres to prevent some situations.

"The situation has changed a bit. You still have to be on guard against that old woman Lingling. That crazy woman might also cause some trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Kaido asked Arceus to be careful of one more thing. The two sides have some intersections, but they cannot be completely trusted.

"Got it. It's up to you to do whatever you want, but don't let yourself get into trouble."

"Hehe, how is that possible? I am no longer the same person I was back then..."

.......

In the direction where Kaido just spoke, Yamato and others were gathered together studying the newspaper in front of them.

Beasts VS Whitebeard

The battle between the strongest creature and the strongest man!

Morgans' newspaper once again spent an entire page telling the story, but this time he did not have first-hand information, and even the photos were edited and pieced together from previous photos, and it really looked like the truth.
