The Most Vicious Devil Fruit in History?

"Damn scum, you will pay the price for your ignorance!" Yagyu Jubei, with a bruised and swollen face, his limbs bound by quicksand, and his whole body seemingly immersed in a sea of blood, said defiantly.

Himura Yukishiro blinked. It hadn't even been a minute since Yagyu Jubei uttered his harsh words, had it? The renowned Master Swordsman of Wano Country... or perhaps now a sword saint, couldn't even withstand a minute of the enemy's all-out attack. Was Yagyu Jubei too weak, or was the enemy too strong?

"As a capable subordinate of Kurozumi Orochi of Wano Country General, you should be very familiar with the current battle situation. Come, tell me about the current situation in Wano Country and... information about the pirates who are barely considered your allies." Roy walked up to Yagyu Jubei and asked condescendingly.

"Pah!" Yagyu Jubei spat out a mouthful of blood and said disdainfully, "I knew you harbored evil intentions. Perhaps you were the reinforcements that old dog Kozuki found from somewhere. However, even if you defeat me, don't even think about me revealing a single piece of information about the Shogun and his allies!"

Roy shook his head. "While I can hardly control a true powerhouse, someone like you who has just broken through to the level of Great Sword Master is not difficult to control."

"What...?" Yagyu Jubei felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could finish speaking, he met the seven-colored, dreamlike light in Roy's pupils. He was completely bewildered, as if he were under a spell, and continued his previous words in a daze, "... What... do... you mean?"

Yagyu Jubei suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked at Roy with eyes full of admiration. "It's a good thing that Lord Madara woke me up, otherwise I would have continued to sink down that wrong path forever."

Hearing Yagyu Jubei's completely different words, Himura Yukishiro felt a chill run down her spine. She even suspected that Yagyu Jubei's soul had been replaced by this boy named "Madara".

"Tell me everything you know about the Beasts Pirates."

Yagyu Jubei already revered Roy like a god, naturally wouldn't refuse. Lying on the ground, he looked up and said, "That monster named Kaido appeared in Wano Country half a year ago. He appeared directly on the battlefield between the Kozuki Family and Tokugawa Family and interfered in the battle between the two major forces, launching indiscriminate and chaotic attacks. No one could withstand a single blow from him. He was like a dragon, crushing anyone who stood in his way into mincemeat."

Even though he had been brainwashed by Roy, Yagyu Jubei still couldn't stop trembling when talking about Kaido, as if it had become an instinct.

"Soon, both Kozuki Oden and Kurozumi Orochi noticed the commotion on the battlefield. Naturally, they couldn't allow an outsider to relentlessly slaughter their subordinates, so they both launched an attack on the monster. Unfortunately, the two most powerful sword saints of Wano Country could only manage to break through the monster's defenses. The damage they inflicted on the monster couldn't even keep up with its recovery speed. It was a truly despairing gap!"

"How could that be? Those two lords are the two strongest in Wano Country..." Just as Himura Yukishiro couldn't help but interrupt, she saw Yagyu Jubei looking at her with hostility. Even though Yagyu Jubei was lying on the ground and couldn't move, he still put a lot of pressure on her, making her quickly cover her mouth, indicating that she dared not say anything out of line.

"However, the two of them soon discovered a weakness of the monster that wasn't exactly a weakness: the monster wasn't very fast. By fighting and retreating, the two of them managed to hold off the firepower and brought the war to an abrupt end."

"After the war ended, Kurozumi Orochi learned through various inquiries that the monster named Kaido was actually after the Poneglyph guarded by the Kozuki Family. Kurozumi Orochi, who had unintentionally helped the Kozuki Family, was naturally unhappy and got to know the monster through matchmaking."

"That monster originally didn't want to ally with Kurozumi Orochi, and even planned to kill Kurozumi Orochi outright. But Kurozumi Orochi was prepared. Knowing that Kaido was after the Poneglyph, he told him that the Poneglyph he was looking for was not in Wano Country, and that the Kozuki Family was so stubborn that they would not reveal the news even if the entire clan was wiped out."

"However, having fought against the Kozuki Family for many years, he knows the destination. If Kaido is willing to help him eliminate the Kozuki Family and stabilize the regime in Wano Country, he is willing to tell him the location of the Poneglyph."

"This deal is entirely beneficial to Kaido. After all, he originally intended to destroy the Kozuki Family and seize the Poneglyph. Even if the outcome is as Kurozumi Orochi said, he can still get the whereabouts of the Poneglyph from Kurozumi Orochi. Therefore, the two sides reached an alliance to attack the Kozuki Family together."

"Knowing that he couldn't possibly fight against the combined forces of Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido with his own strength, Kozuki Oden tried his best to gather the strength of Wano Country to fight against them. After seizing the power of the Oda Family, the Kozuki Family barely managed to stop their decline. However, it was clear to everyone that the Kozuki Family's defeat was only a matter of time."

"Therefore, Kurozumi Orochi was unwilling to push too hard, fearing that Kozuki Oden would resort to desperate measures, so he wanted to gradually erode him by slowly boiling him like a frog in warm water."

"Currently, Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido are both in the Flower Capital of Wano Country, and they are sending their subordinates to gradually tighten the encirclement of the Kozuki Family. So, if you want to deal with Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi, you can start with their subordinates."

"Among Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates, there's nothing that Madara-sama should be concerned about. However, Kaido's subordinates include monsters known as the Three Calamities, who are not easy for ordinary people to deal with. Even Kozuki Oden, the greatest swordsman of Wano Country, couldn't get away with it. This is the main reason why Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido can recuperate in the Flower Capital."

"Oh? Do you know the specifics of these Three Calamities?" Roy was quite curious, after all, he only knew about Drought Jack, who was just as brainless as Kaido.

"Drought Jack, Ancient Zoan Elephant-Elephant Fruit -Elephant Fruit user in Mammoth Form Wind Ulysses, Ancient Zoan Cat-Cat Fruit user in Saber-Toothed Tiger Form; and Ice Nicholas, the leader of the Three Calamities, who is said to possess the most ferocious Devil Fruit power in history!" Yagyu Jubei said in a deep voice.

Roy gasped. What was going on? Had this Nicholas intercepted the Dark-Dark Fruit? Did Blackbeard obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit three years later because Nicholas was already dead?

However, Roy sensed something was off. What did the Ice Calamity have to do with the Dark-Dark Fruit?

Just as Roy was secretly shocked, Yagyu Jubei continued, "I suppose you already know, Madara-sama, that's right, Nicholas is the user of the Mythical Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit in its Icefield Wolf form."

Roy had a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?" What the hell is this Icefield Wolf? What happened to the Dark-Dark Fruit?
