Beasts Pirates vs. Whitebeard Pirates (Part 1) / Beasts Pirates vs. Whitebeard Pirates (Part 2) ...

If this generation's Supernovas, 'Red Flag' X Drake, can achieve 'Devil Fruit Awakening', then 'Drought' Jack will be the model. After all, Tyrannosaurus Rex is an extremely rare ancient animal and would definitely be an unparalleled shining star among the Supernovas.

Unfortunately, these large animals, while very effective in group battles, are like the Whitebeard Pirates and the now-dead Little Oars Jr..

But that only applies to those who are weak and lack the strength to break through their defenses.

People like Arthur, whose agility reaches an A++ level, are the most fatal weakness of these clumsy animals.

Having speed without power would be fine, but Arthur is not only incredibly fast, lightning is also an element in nature with penetrating power that is no less than that of a flash of light.

Goodbye, 'Drought' Jack!

Arthur reached out and grabbed, and golden light condensed in the air, quickly transforming into a slender, silver spear.

Having already defeated Kaido Beasts, Arthur had no desire to continue playing with Jack the Drought. Otherwise, he wouldn't have unleashed the 200 Million Volt Thunder Spear from over a dozen nautical miles away.

Arthur wouldn't feel any sense of honor in bullying someone so clumsy and slow that they couldn't keep up with him.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

And so, the Holy Lance in Arthur's hand shone with blue and white light once more, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a pillar of lightning, entirely blue and white.

'Whoosh—200 Million Volts Thunder Spear!'

Beneath the mammoth's wide-open eyes, Arthur vanished like a bolt of Inazuma from the back of the King's Horse.

The next moment, a beam of blue and white light shot into the sky, like a piercing spear of punishment, pierced through the mammoth's body, turning it into a skewer of meat, and carrying its enormous body into the sky.

'Boom--!'

The beam of light flew into the sky, (Deno's) turning into a point of light.

After a long while, a deafening roar finally erupted.

A dazzling blue and white firework suddenly appeared.

The difference between 100 million volts and 200 million volts is not significant; it seems like there is only a difference of about double.

Divine Judgment with 100 million volts couldn't break through a mammoth's defenses, Thunder Spear shouldn't have much effect either.

If you think that way, you're making a big mistake.

The 100 Million Volt Divine Judgment is a spreading technique that creates lightning on one's wrist.

However, the 200 million volt Thunder Spear is a compressed technique, contrasting with the balanced offense and defense of 200 million volt Thor, and it also has the Holy Lance as its carrier.

That power is the difference between a firecracker and a bomb; it's a difference in quality.

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 86!"

Chapter 195 Beasts Pirates vs Whitebeard Pirates (Part 1)

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 86!"

As blue and white fireworks burst forth, a system notification sounded in Arthur's mind.

An incredibly strong warm current surged forth, sweeping wildly through every part of my body.

After a long while, a dark shadow finally descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a 'thud,' kicking up a cloud of dust.

After the dust settled, a huge hole was found in a chest, and the internal organs had been blasted into powder, leaving the body completely lifeless.

Jack Drought, one of the three heroes of the Beasts Pirates, with a bounty of 1 billion Beli, has thus perished.

"Bru bru..." Almost the instant the system notification sounded, Arthur's Vivre Card in his pocket turned to ashes, and he dialed the Den Den Mushi on his wrist.

"Moshi moshi..."

Almost the instant the Den Den Mushi rang, the person on the other end, as if they had been waiting for a long time, immediately synchronized the expression and voice of the other Den Den Mushi: "King of Knights, how is it?"

"He's dead. Begin your plan." Arthur beckoned to the King's Horse in the sky and said calmly.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work... Beep beep!!" Upon hearing this, Doflamingo from side 697 sounded clearly excited, and his usual wicked smile disappeared. Instead, he hung up the phone impatiently and began his plan.

On an island in a sea area of New World, ruled by the Beasts Pirates.

"Captain Kaido... Captain Kaido... Something terrible has happened!"

At the foot of a towering mountain, a settlement resembling a tribe stands, with a watchtower erected above it, bearing the banner of the Beasts Pirates. On a cliff halfway up the mountain sits a gigantic figure with two horns on its head, a bare, muscular upper body, and a face covered in dark lines, obscuring its expression.

At this moment, Kaido was holding a huge sake jug in both hands and drinking heartily.

Suddenly, a man with a hurried expression came running down a slope not far from the cliff. His terrified eyes seemed to have seen something frightening.

"Captain Kaido, Jack... Lord Jack's Vivre Card has burned out!!" Panting, the man ran to Kaido's side, his pupils contracted, his face pale, and stretched out his right hand towards Kaido. In his palm was a glass ball similar to the New World Pose, but there was no pointer inside, only the remnants of the burned Vivre Card and a few ashes.

"..."

Kaido. An imposing aura emanated from him, causing the man beside him to catch his breath, feeling the suffocating pressure before the storm.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, Kaido burst into tears, his deafening sobs echoing across the entire island and startling countless birds and beasts.

There was no outburst of rage as one might expect; instead, he wept like a child facing the loss of a loved one, tears and snot streaming down his face, his cries utterly heart-wrenching.

"Jack, we promised to build an army entirely composed of Zoan users, why did you leave so soon?! Waaaaah..."

After a period of agonizing weeping, Kaido's expression changed abruptly. He stood up in a rage, grabbed a massive spiked club, and stared intently at the trembling man beside him. He roared, "Speak... what happened? Who killed Jack? Wasn't he going to 'Joker's'?"

"I... I don't know either..." the man replied in a trembling voice.

"Go get me the Den Den Mushi, I want to ask 'Joker' myself!" Kaido suppressed the urge to blast his subordinate away and said in a low voice.

"Yes... yes!!" Upon hearing this, the man felt as if he had escaped a disaster and fled the scene in a disheveled state.

"Brubru..."

A short while later, the man returned hurriedly, carrying a beeping Den Den Den Mushi).

"'Joker'--!!!"

The moment the call connected, Kaido let out a roar. The sound waves from the roar caused the man below to suffer a sharp pain in his eardrums, and he turned pale, clutching the Den Den Mushi and not daring to move.

"Fufu~ Dear Kaido, don't be so irritable!" The Den Den Mushi simultaneously displayed the sweating expression on the other end, forcing a wicked smile as it said, "Well, I'm calling to apologize to you personally."

"You just wait, I'm coming over right now to pay for Jack's death with your bastard's life." Kaido didn't ask what happened or who the murderer was; he simply announced Doflamingo's death.

It was precisely this unreasonable, capricious personality and temper that made even the evil Doflamingo fear him.

"Dear Kaido, please give me a chance to explain." Sure enough, upon hearing Kaido's words, Doflamingo, who had been maintaining a smile, immediately changed his expression, becoming extremely distressed and fearful as he said, "This defeat is entirely not my fault."

"It's all because of Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Whitebeard?" Upon hearing this, Kaido's expression instantly turned puzzled, as if his previous rage and killing intent had vanished. Instead, he sat down, placed his hands on his lap, stared at the Den Den Mushi, and asked in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with Whitebeard?"

"Please allow me to explain slowly..." Doflamingo composed himself, feigning a solemn expression, and began to deliver the lines he had prepared beforehand.

Doflamingo revealed everything from the beginning: the Whitebeard' Second Division Commander's severed arm, the traitors of the Dressrosa Kingdom, the Tontatta that cultivated Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, Mansherry who possessed the Heal-Heal Fruit, and so on.

"That's how it is... I didn't personally participate in this transaction, but I later heard that 'Rosasayara' had sunk, and all the items in this transaction sank to the bottom of the sea." Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "This was a premeditated plan. Whitebeard wanted to help that 'traitor' reclaim Dressrosa. But I stayed here the whole time, and he dared not act rashly for fear of the lives of everyone on the island. So he wanted to eliminate my biggest backer first, which means using you, my dear Kaido, as a scapegoat."

"...".

Chapter 196 Beasts Pirates vs Whitebeard Pirates (Part 2)

(The previous chapter was fine; it's probably just that with the holidays around the clock, the staff are all on vacation, and the website system is experiencing a minor issue!)

"Really? Whitebeard's strength has returned to its peak?" After hearing Doflamingo's words, Kaido Whitebeard's removal of his hidden ailment, and excitedly shouted, "Well done, Whitebeard!!"

It was as if Jack's death and the loss of the Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits were no longer important.

With the end of the previous era and Kaido's ascension to the throne of the Four Emperors, bestowing upon him the title of "Emperor Who Rules the Seas," very few people have been remembered by Kaido.

Among them, the person he most wanted to provoke and who could fight him to the death was Whitebeard.

But as Whitebeard's health deteriorated, Kaido grew bored.

Furthermore, the battle more than half a year ago also made Arthur the person Kaido hated the most.

Inflicting the greatest pain upon himself, yet fighting with the same ruthless methods, he was an opponent Kaido had never encountered before.

After that battle, Kaido felt an unprecedented sense of frustration and went on a rampage through the entire New World.

Now, hearing that his most satisfying opponent has returned to his peak, Kaido's provocative nature is rekindled, and the battle-crazed instincts within him are stirring.

"Joker, I'm going to war with Whitebeard! Hand over your Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit!" With that thought, Kaido roared into the Den Den Mushi, making the man holding it dizzy and swaying.

"Hmph~ Although quite a few items were lost in this transaction, there's still some stock, though not much." Doflamingo lied without batting an eye, "The materials for Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits require plants cultivated by the Tontatta, otherwise future production will face enormous obstacles. I hope you can help me snatch them back from Whitebeard, otherwise, our transaction may have to end."

"I don't care about any of that. If you can't produce it, go buy it!" Kaido shouted nonchalantly. "If I see it, I'll just snatch it back for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you..." Doflamingo said with a smile, feeling a great sense of relief.

Although he lost Kaido, his biggest trading partner, he managed to save his life and successfully transfer Kaido's hatred to Whitebeard.

This would also prevent Whitebeard from helping Viola for a long time, making it a win-win situation.

Doflamingo is already very satisfied!

"I really have to thank him properly this time..."

In a luxurious room in the Dressrosa Kingdom, Doflamingo hung up his call with Kaido, looked at Diamante on the sofa to his left, and asked, "How are those women with the knight?"

"As you instructed, Dofi, I have arranged the best hospitality for them, all on the house," Diamante replied.

"Heh heh, that's good. We can't let this classmate be unhappy; he's a terrifying 'Monster.'" Doflamingo flicked his fingers and said with a wicked smile, "Just as I expected, he definitely harbors an enormous ambition! 'Devil Child' Nico Robin, 'Sea King' Cook, and a wife from the East Blue. Two of these women were once famous figures in the world. The 'King of Knights,' a bounty hunter, is actually with a wanted criminal by the World Government. If you still call him a hero of justice, that's laughable."

"Dofi, why haven't the two women beside the 'King of Knights' been exposed yet?" Diamante asked, puzzled.

"Heh heh~ That's why I called him a 'Monster'." Doflamingo chuckled wickedly. "When someone is too dazzling, they're like a ball of light, easily assimilating the light of the fireflies around them. Others will only notice the ball of light and won't know that there are other light sources inside it."

· ······Requesting flowers···· ·····

"Based on my investigation, his experiences are nothing short of legendary! The 'Wind Sword Knight' of the East Blue, the 'Knight of Knights' of the Grand Line, the 'King of Knights' of the New World... a breath of fresh air among bounty hunters, the World's Greatest Bounty Hunter, the World's Greatest Swordsman..." Doflamingo said, as if counting on his fingers, "The Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, the Pegasus from mythology, the golden light that destroys all things, and..."

At the end, Doflamingo paused, his eyes filled with palpable apprehension.

Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

With the world's best Swordsmanship and a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit, he needed to use his 'Devil Fruit Awakening' to defeat the former, but he was completely powerless against the latter.

More importantly, that golden light that the world will remember symbolized that the 'King of Knights' had not used his trump card.

That was a Monster, just like Kaido, whom you shouldn't offend.

"Well... you've Artificial Devil Fruit, and you're with Trebol now?" Doflamingo lay on the sofa, his feet on the table in front of him, looking up at the ceiling, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be leaving Dressrosa for a long time."

"Dofi, have you found the traitor?" Diamante asked.

"It's almost certain! Heh heh~ I was too merciful." Doflamingo covered his forehead and chuckled evilly, a row of veins popping out on his forehead, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Then why not use Sugar's ability? Turn that traitor into a toy, and then you'll be safe, right?" Diamante asked, puzzled.

"Heh... you think I didn't think of that?" Doflamingo said through gritted teeth, "That was the first method I thought of, but that traitor's ability—she has the power to see into people's minds! Without absolute certainty, would she dare stay here? She must have left something for Whitebeard Pirates's crew, a notebook, Tone Dial— anything would do..."

"Viola, that woman has me cornered!!"

Chapter 196 Beasts Pirates vs. Whitebeard Pirates (Part 2)

War is coming!

In this world where the strong rule and plunder is rampant, the word "K" is not a rare term; rather, it is a frequently used one.

Wars between nations, wars between naval forces, wars between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, etc...

Wars also come in different types, from small-scale skirmishes to fierce battles, and sometimes it's a fight to the death!
