Shocked: The Reason Kaido Was Homeless Turned Out to Be...
What surprised Roy even more was that even if a Mythical Zoan Beast wanted to call itself the most ferocious Devil Fruit in history, it should be something like a fire dragon Phoenix, or at the very least, a Cerberus would sound cooler. What Icefield Wolf? It just doesn't have any class at all.
Perhaps sensing Roy's confusion, Yagyu Jubei continued to explain, "You must not underestimate him because of his reputation. This Icefield Wolf is said to be a born destroyer, a terrifying monster that will bring calamity and destruction to the world. The most crucial point is that you must never let him see the snow and ice fields, as that will unleash his inner wildness. A completely unrestrained Nicholas will be anyone's nightmare."
Roy's expression grew increasingly strange, as if he had a sense of déjà vu. He then half-squatted down and placed his palm on Yagyu Jubei's forehead, beginning to read his memories.
The battlefield was filled with the sounds of fierce fighting. Among the three most conspicuous battlefields, a colossal mammoth casually swung its trunk, sending those struck flying in blood and flesh. A brutal and savage ancient sword tiger roared, unleashing an apocalyptic storm. In contrast, the battlefield in the very center consisted of only a middle-aged man wielding a sword and a Zoan- Zoan user whose back was visible, yet the sheer power of their battle completely overshadowed the other two.
Roy, who was immersed in Yagyu Jubei's memories, quickly learned that the handsome, extraordinary middle-aged man with Kozuki Momonosuke, was Kozuki Oden, while the one whose only visible feature was his fox-shaped tail was Nicholas, known as the Ice Calamity.
To Roy's astonishment, Kozuki Oden not only suppressed Nicholas, the leader of the Three Calamities, but also had the strength to support the other two battlefields. According to Harvey's account, Kozuki Oden was unable to exert his full strength because he forcibly interrupted his recovery process. Even so, he was still able to maintain such strong combat power, which made Roy look at him with new respect.
After a moment's thought, Roy felt that this situation wasn't too surprising. After all, Kozuki Oden was a ruthless man who had served on both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, and had even witnessed the ultimate secret of Laugh Tale. His servants, Nekomamushi and Drought Jack to a standstill, so it wasn't surprising that he had such strength.
However, judging from the current situation, this Icefield Demon Wolf Form is not worthy of the title of the most ferocious Devil Fruit ability. Unlike the Dark-Dark Fruit Iceberg, Kakuzu can make people wary even with just a glimpse of its power.
Suddenly, a north wind howled, and a chill swept over the whole body. Without any warning, heavy snow began to fall.
The Kozuki Family didn't react much, but the Beasts Pirates began to fight and retreat with great skill. Even Drought Jack and Wind Ulysses didn't intend to stay and decisively withdrew from the battle, as if a prehistoric beast was lurking ahead.
Just as the Kozuki Family was completely bewildered, thinking it was a trap set by the enemy, Nicholas suddenly let out a howl and transformed from his human-beast form into his beast form.
Kozuki Oden instinctively sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to interrupt Nicholas's transformation. However, Kozuki Oden, who had been in the lead, was slapped away by Nicholas like a fly and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Not to mention the stunned onlookers, even Kozuki Oden himself was completely dumbfounded. Could this battle even continue? They were fighting perfectly well when suddenly someone used cheat codes—that's cheating, that's against the rules!
If Nicholas had stepped forward and delivered the finishing blow, this protracted battle might have ended. But strangely, Nicholas had no such intention. Instead, he let out a joyful howl, then leaped high into the air and stomped on the ground. The earth immediately let out a mournful cry of unbearable weight, and rapidly cracked open like a spider web. Many samurai from the Kozuki Family and Tokugawa Family clans, as well as some Beasts Pirates who hadn't had time to react, inexplicably fell into the abyss that appeared after the earth split open, only able to let out desperate cries.
"Damn it, this monster can't distinguish friend from foe!" a Tokugawa Family samurai said through gritted teeth.
"Wait, that monster is starting to spin! Could it be the legendary Sword Storm? Run!" A sharp-eyed samurai noticed Nicholas suddenly starting to spin in place and shouted in horror.
"Wow, that's amazing! It's already left afterimages. Even I can't see its tracks clearly. It seems that Lord Nicholas must be preparing a super terrifying move. Maybe he's planning to destroy the entire Kozuki Family in one blow. Let's retreat quickly!" Beasts Pirates said with boundless admiration.
With Roy's strength, it wasn't difficult for him to see through Nicholas's actions at that moment, which was why he became uneasy. "What the hell is this super move? This guy is just happily biting his own tail!"
Roy had caught a glimpse of Nicholas's full form as he spun around, rubbed his forehead, his blue eyes gleaming, and bit his own tail. "That's right, it's you, you husky!"
I've seen the look in your eyes, and I've met the right dog.
Roy had exited the Dream Memory due to his intense emotional fluctuations, didn't care about any of this, because he couldn't stop his inner urge to complain.
"What the hell is this Icefield Wolf? You could have just called it a Husky. But I'd accept it if you said it's the most ferocious Devil Fruit in history, since the Dark-Dark Fruit's destructive power can't possibly compare to the Husky-Husky Fruit. But why is this Husky-Husky Fruit Mythical Zoan?!"
"Mythical Zoan are animals from myths or legends. In other words, they are creatures that shouldn't exist in reality. So, could the legend from my previous life that 'the husky was God's draft when creating the wolf' be true?"
Thinking about this, Roy suddenly Ohm, "No wonder Kaido always appeared either jumping off a building to 'commit suicide' or lying pitifully in a simple cave, not even having a decent house. He had a husky by his side, and he still wanted a house? Dream on!"
In his previous life, whenever Roy met a friend who owned a husky, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you own a mine?"
It's one thing for Kaido to keep a husky, but to keep a husky with Husky-Husky Fruit ability is another. He's so poor that he doesn't even have a decent set of clothes. You can only say that he brought this upon himself.
Compared to Big Mom, another Four Emperors with her own castle, Kaido is really in a terrible situation. Roy couldn't help but light a candle for this opponent he had never met but was about to face. He could only sincerely wish Kaido and hope that there are no huskies in heaven.
