"In terms of Body Technique, among all those I've fought, no one is better than you. I, Madara, would call you the strongest!" Roy said apologetically, feeling sorry for Garp.

Ten days ago, Kaido might have been able to retort, "Who doesn't know your name is Roy? Do you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you changed your identity?"

But ten days later, Kaido were lifeless, his expression blank, and his eyes were filled with numbness, as if he were denouncing this evil society.

There was nothing he could do; Roy was like a mosquito he could never kill, constantly buzzing around his ear and occasionally flying over to bite him.

An ordinary person would be driven to the brink of madness, suffer from nervous disorder, and have their endocrine system disrupted if bothered by a mosquito all day. Not to mention Kaido, who is not a patient person to begin with. After being bothered by a mosquito for ten whole days, he was on the verge of exploding.

In fact, Kaido had considered escaping. By the third day, he had already lost patience for the "battle," but Roy gave him no chance, stabbing him in the back from time to time. Kaido was already short-tempered, so how could he tolerate this? After being slightly provoked by Roy, his anger regained its momentum, and he chased after Roy relentlessly.

After repeating this cycle countless times, Kaido finally gave up and sat down in place, like a salted fish that had lost its ideals, letting Roy harass him.

Roy's original intention was simply to make Kaido give up the idea of attacking him, after all, being targeted by an enemy that can't be killed is not a good experience.

Therefore, seeing that Kaido was on the verge of collapse, Roy wisely decided to stop while he was ahead. If he had gone Kaido fight him to the death, it would have backfired.

Seeing that Roy had stopped harassing him, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Kaido's numb eyes.

Kaido's gaze toward Roy was complex. Logically, he should have said something harsh, but when he thought about the ten days of hellish experience, he decisively abandoned the idea.

"I can make a copy of the Kozuki Family's Poneglyph for you, but not now." Considering that Kaido is one of the Four Emperors, it wouldn't be good to embarrass him, so Roy decided to give him a way out.

"Hmm? Your condition is..." Kaido had already given up on coveting the Poneglyph, after all, he didn't want to experience that nightmare again. He didn't expect Roy to actually give away this most precious Road Poneglyph.

"I will leave Wano Country. This place will be my territory from now on."

"Deal!" To Kaido, Wano Country was of no importance, and he was even more indifferent to whether the Wano Country General, who had "allyed" with him, was alive or dead.

Although isolationism is Wano Country's fundamental national policy, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of pirates in the New World. No one takes the laws of a country that cannot reach the outside world seriously. Therefore, curious pirates often visit this country to "resupply" as a matter of course.

During these ten days, the violent turmoil that occurred in Wano Country had already spread overseas, and many pirates came to witness this earth-shattering battle.

"I can't believe that Kaido the Four Emperors, was defeated by Nightmare and even withdrew all his forces from Wano Country."

"No, in my opinion, they are at most evenly matched. After all, for Kaido, as long as he doesn't die, he doesn't lose. You know, Kaido has been captured 18 times in his life, but it is these defeats that have made him famous for his immortality."

"It's different. Kaido's previous failures were purely because he single-handedly attacked the entire Marine Headquarters or the Four Emperors' pirate crews. It seems that only Whitebeard truly defeated him one-on-one. Now, perhaps we can add Nightmare to the list."

"The landscape of the ocean is about to change, and I seem to smell the scent of war and turmoil."

These pirates naturally couldn't see the battle between Roy and Kaido clearly, and couldn't tell who was stronger or weaker. They simply made their inferences based on the fact that the Beasts Pirates had withdrawn from Wano Country.

So when the news of Roy defeating Kaido spread to the outside world, the entire sea was in an uproar!

In the Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Office, a deathly oppressive atmosphere prevailed until an old man eating senbei walked in.

Seeing Sengoku staring at the newspaper in his hand with a pale face, Garp's eyes lit up. He snatched the newspaper from Sengoku's hand without any hesitation and began to read it with great interest.

Sengoku twitched his lips. He had wanted to take it back, but when he saw Garp's hand, which had been holding a senbei, pressed on the newspaper, he gave up the idea. He could only take a deep breath and pull another newspaper from his desk, but before he could even warm it up, Garp snatched it away again.

Sengoku forcibly calmed his inner anger and said with a sense of self-satisfaction, "Fortunately, I have been tempered by the repeated bad news from Nightmare Roy, Garp's actions can no longer provoke me."

Thinking this, Sengoku casually reached out and touched the table.

"Huh? Where's my huge stack of newspapers?" Sengoku was startled, then turned his gaze to Garp, and sure enough, he found that Garp was holding a large stack of newspapers, almost every one of which was covered with food crumbs and Garp's saliva.

Sengoku's rage exploded instantly, and no amount of strong willpower could stop him from going berserk. "Garp, you bastard!"

Clap clap clap!

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp really have a good relationship; they have sex every day," a Marine on duty outside said enviously.

"Perhaps, this is just what men are like!"

"Yes, I heard that Vice Admiral Tsuru... sigh..."

With his face bruised and swollen, Garp nonchalantly pointed at the newspapers and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I really want to know what Kaido and Roy's expressions will be when they see these newspapers."

Seeing that Garp showed no remorse whatsoever, Sengoku sighed and looked at the headlines in the newspapers that were highlighted in red.

Ten Days and Ten Nights! The Untold Story of Kaido and Nightmare Roy...

Kaido: Nightmare Roy, come at me head-on!

"Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, gives up resistance and allows Roy, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, to ravage him. Is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay...?"

Shocking! Nightmare Roy loves power more than love, Kaido tears in Wano Country...

As Sengoku looked at these headlines, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards. His tense face completely broke down, and he slammed his fist on the table, laughing without any regard for his image. "Hahaha! You two bastards have finally met your match!"

The two navy officers on duty exchanged bewildered glances, looking into the office with expressions of utter disbelief.

"Ahem." Sengoku straightened his clothes, glared at Garp, leaving Garp bewildered. "What we need to note from this is that Nightmare Roy has the terrifying power to face the Four Emperors -on, and even defeat them. He has truly become a force to be reckoned with."

"I never expected that my attempt to flatter him would backfire and push him further. How ironic."

Garp, however, said nonchalantly, "I always thought your method was unreliable. How could someone like him be so easily outmaneuvered by you?"

Just as Sengoku was about to ask Garp which side he was on with a dark expression, he heard Garp say, "Actually, I've never understood why Nightmare Brat is Shichibukai, no matter what. Why don't you worry about how to deal with the Four Emperors and keep thinking about him?"

"Sigh, apart from Red-Haired Shanks, the other three of the Four Emperors are already old men like us, and they won't be long before they are buried in the old era. And the pirate crews that have lost their emperors won't even need us to lift a finger; they will be overthrown by pirates who covet their status and power."

"So, you should now understand why I'm so wary of Nightmare Roy. His existence could keep the ocean in chaos for another hundred years!"
