The Demon of Laugh Tale?

"Why... it's only been two minutes, why... it was completely eroded so quickly?" Kozuki Oden's face was contorted with rage, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"When did you develop this... delusion that you are in control of everything?" A voice that didn't belong to Kozuki Oden came out of his mouth, as if he were answering himself insane, which made people's hair stand on end. "Mortals cannot suppress gods."

Roy remained calm and composed, only able to chuckle twice and mutter, "Director, I've wandered onto the wrong set again."

"God? Ridiculous. You're nothing but a pitiful imprisoned worm." It was as if two souls were wrestling for control of Kozuki Oden's body.

"Heh, if it weren't for me, do you think you could have escaped that island, that prison that you humans call Laugh Tale?" Kozuki Oden said sarcastically.

Roy's eyes widened suddenly, his heart filled with turmoil. It was not hard to tell from this guy who called himself a god that the One Piece that everyone seemed to dream of, the end of the Grand Line, was actually just a prison where he was imprisoned.

"Could it be that the legend of One Pirate Kings was just a hoax from the very beginning?" Roy's lips curled into a playful smile. "But Roger and the others really know what happened to Kozuki Oden?"

"Ah..." Kozuki Oden screamed again, the dark aura around him growing ever stronger, like a demon god in the night. "Kill me... Quick, kill me..."

"Mortals, cease your futile struggles, for the gods are eternal and immortal!" It is unclear whether "Kozuki Oden" was speaking to Roy or to another soul.

"God? Is there such a weak god as you in this world?" Roy also realized that this so-called "god" looked powerful, but in reality, he didn't have much power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lurk in Kozuki Oden's body for twenty years, and even when Kozuki Oden of death, he couldn't take over the body's control in one go.

"Mortal, you are blaspheming!" Kozuki Oden instantly became majestic, his eyes flashing with lightning, as if he were the ruler of the world.

"Blasphemy? I will not only blaspheme, but I will also... kill a god!" Roy pierced through the black substance in Kozuki Oden strike. The Seven Star Sword trembled joyfully, and the black aura seeped into it along the ancient patterns.

Like a punctured balloon, Kozuki Oden's aura weakened instantly.

Kozuki Oden was neither angry nor desperate. He simply gave Roy a deep look and said, "I will be waiting for you at the ends of the earth!"

Already as fragile as Kozuki Oden collapsed to the ground, unable to even open his eyes. His lips murmured, and in a barely audible voice, he uttered his last words, "Tao Tao... Daddy loves you!"

Roy's expression remained unchanged. Regardless of Kozuki Oden's character, from his perspective, he was definitely a worthy opponent. "Unfortunately, Kozuki Momonosuke's fate was sealed the moment I came into this world!"

After taking a bottle of S-3 Potion" and sensing that his injuries were beginning to heal, Roy took out a complete set of clothes from the Dream Dimension and put them on. Enel and the others walked up with shocked expressions.

"Hiss, it seems we've heard some incredible news," Kenkon gasped.

"The end of the Grand Line, the One Piece sought by all pirates, the ultimate world, is just a cage? How ironic!" Crocodile the Sand said rather displeasedly. After all, he was one of the pirates who embarked on the Grand Line after witnessing the execution of the Pirate Kings.

"There's no need to jump to conclusions too early. Without witnessing Laugh Tale firsthand, it's too early to say anything like that." Roy didn't lose interest because of Kozuki Oden's words. After all, as someone who knows the past and future, only the unknown can give him a sense of adventure.

"Lord Madara, I haven't found any trace of that brat Momonosuke. Also missing along with him are the main retainers of the Kozuki Family: Foxfire Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo of the Mist," Harvey said with a grim expression.

"Oh? They actually ran away ahead of time? That kid's luck is pretty good." Roy squinted at the distance, but he wasn't angry. "If I'm not mistaken, they went to Zou for help. Although it's a bit troublesome, it shouldn't be a big problem. Even without the Vivre Card, they still have other ways to reach that country."

"The main problem now is to put Kaido's mind at ease." Roy wasn't so arrogant as to think he could kill a monster Kaido all by himself. He just planned to annoy Kaido in another way so that Kaido wouldn't bother him every few days.

In fact, in Roy's opinion, Kaido may be the weakest of the Four Emperors, but he is also the one that no one wants to encounter. After all, an unkillable monster is just too despairing.

Moreover, Kaido's "weakness" is only relative to the other Four Emperors. If it were simply immortality, it wouldn't be a problem at all; he could be imprisoned permanently. It is a monster like Kaido, whose strength is terrifying and who is also immortal, that makes everyone wary.

The Flower Capital of Wano Country.

"What did you say? That bastard Nightmare has actually come to Wano Country and stolen my prey?" Kaido roared in fury, grabbing the sake in his arms and gulping it down before slamming it to the ground, creating a huge crater that made Kurozumi Orochi, standing nearby, wince in pain.

"This is my last palace. If you keep smashing it, I won't even have a place to live. Are you guys a pirate crew or a demolition team?" Kurozumi Orochi smiled on the outside but cursed inwardly.

"Boss, we've embarrassed you. None of us are a match for that guy," Jack said in a muffled voice.

"What a joke! That guy is my prey!" Kaido waved his hand. "If even you can defeat him, then he's not worthy of being my prey."

"Boss, that Nightmare Roy is ridiculously strong. I thought those newspaper articles were just exaggerating, but now it seems they underestimated him." Ulysses said calmly.

Kurozumi Orochi, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. This was the first time he had ever heard the unbridled Beasts Pirates be so wary of someone, and he silently memorized the name Nightmare.

"The stronger he is, the better! Only the strong are worth killing! I can't wait to smash every bone in his body, hahaha!"
