Fifteenth Chapter: Dividing Up the New World! Doflamingo's Desperate Final Strike

It should be said that Kaido has become much stronger in the past year.

However, compared to Roa, it falls far short.

Kaido now is probably similar to Roa when he left Wano Country a year ago, or perhaps even a little weaker.

After unleashing his fire dragon, he's at a level where he can barely hold his own against an enemy like Rayleigh or Jabba who doesn't use their ultimate moves.

They are still quite far from being at the level of true top-tier pirates.

There's no way around it; it's not that Kaido stronger too slowly, it's that Roa is getting stronger too fast.

For the rest of the world, power has its limits.

Even a monster like Rocks Roger, once he reached a certain limit, found it difficult to climb any higher.

This limit also applies to naturally gifted monsters like Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Loki; they too cannot become infinitely stronger.

Furthermore, because their bodies have already reached a peak that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve at a very young age, it is even more difficult for them to become stronger.

But for Roa, it was not so.

He's cheating.

"This really seems to have gone a bit too far,"

Roa sheathed his sword, looking at the ruins all around him. "Don't expect me to pay for it."

After this battle, the Beasts Pirates' base will have to be rebuilt.

In fact, countless unfortunate souls were killed by the aftershocks of the fight.

"You little rascal!!"

Not far away, Kaido, leaning on his spiked club, his voice almost clenched through gritted teeth, "What kind of monster is that?!"

Since birth, he had always been called a monster. Even Kaido, who was respected by everyone in the Rocks Pirates who were full of powerful people, could only call Roa a monster at this moment.

Although Kaido had long believed that Roa's abilities were superior to his own, he never imagined that the gap would be so vast.

Fourteen years ago, when he first Rocks Pirates, he was also fifteen years old, just like Roa.

But back then, facing Roa now, he would probably only be able to be killed in one move!

This kid's power is already beyond description!

If Kai was born, why was Luo born?

"It's just a failure. Forget about it after the sun rises."

Roa said leisurely, "Let's have a banquet, Big Brother Kaido. I told you I have something very important to discuss with you!"

"Snort!"

Kaido out a vicious snort.

For someone who sees strength as everything, such a crushing defeat was absolutely unacceptable.

So, let's have a banquet!

Alcohol can help him forget these unhappy things.

However, since the palace had collapsed, the banquet could only be held on the backs of the Giant Snail.

In a spacious palace in the Germa Kingdom, the Beasts Pirates and the executives of the Calamity Company gathered together.

Roa and Kaido in the main seats.

Kozuki Toki sat beside Roa, holding Yamato in her arms, feeding the overly lively little girl.

"So, Roa,"

After a few drinks, Kaido's anger subsided somewhat, and a look of curiosity gradually appeared in his eyes.

"What are you trying to do, kid? What do you mean by doing what Rocks couldn't do back then?"

"Are you preparing to wage war against the World Government right now? If that's the case, then I have no interest in dying with you."

Rocks wanted to overthrow the World Government and become the King of the World would conquer the entire world.

If there's one thing he didn't accomplish, it's probably this:

However, even the Rocks Pirates were wiped out by the World Government back then, so what threat could the two groups combined pose to the World Government now?

However, Roa looked delighted, "As expected of Big Brother Kaido, he guessed what I wanted to do right away."

Upon hearing this, Sain, who had been listening intently to their conversation, suddenly spat out all the food in his mouth.

No way?

Are you serious?

That's the World Government!

Even Kaido was momentarily stunned, his hand holding the wine glass suddenly freezing in mid-air, his gaze towards Roa filled with utter astonishment.

Are you out of your mind?

He does indeed want to wage a war aimed at conquering the world, but now is not the time.

Going to war with the World Government now would be suicide.

I've always known that Roa has some mental issues, but isn't it a bit too abnormal for him to say something like this?

"Don't misunderstand,"

Roa chuckled and said, "It's not about starting a full-scale war with the World Government, nor is it just our Calamity Company and your Beasts Pirates participating."

"What exactly do you want, kid?"

Kaido frowned deeply, his tone grave, "Don't beat around the bush, explain yourself clearly all at once!"

He really hated Roa's suspenseful personality!

"The New World has been a sea where pirates have been active for a very, very long time, hasn't it?"

Roa said casually, "The World Government has almost abandoned this area, turning it into a battlefield for top-tier pirates."

"However, even so, there are still many Affiliated Nation their respective governments in this sea area, and several large Marine Headquarters bases still exist!"

"Isn't this just too much of an eyesore? So I think we should join forces and completely drive the navy out of the New World, making this sea our Paradise!"

"Are you an idiot?!"

Kaido said irritably, "What good does doing this do for me, besides inviting retaliation from the World Government?"

For example,

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "How about dividing up the New World?"

Kaido was suddenly stunned. "What did you say?"

"Me, Big Brother Kaido, Aunt Linlin, Uncle Ochoku, Redfield, and maybe Uncle Shiki too,"

Roa said with great interest, "Our combined strength is more than enough to sweep away the navy of the New World, leaving them utterly helpless!"

"After that, wasn't the New World at our mercy?"

"How about each person taking over a territory? We can bring all the countries within it under our rule, like emperors, reigning supreme in the New World!"

"Emperor?"

Kaido paused slightly, muttering the word to himself.

The great pirates of this era were generally quite honest.

The majority of people are like Kaido, Ochoku, and Charlotte Linlin, who stay in their own base camps.

Even the mighty Golden Lion soars high in the sky, preferring plunder to conquest and domination.

Unlike the future Four Emperors, they almost truly divided up the New World, and any outsiders who intruded into their territory would be ruthlessly suppressed.

"Sound,"

Kaido's eyes lit up completely. "This is very interesting!"

Compared to exploiting one country, it's definitely faster for the Beasts Pirates to grow stronger by exploiting many countries at the same time!

"Right!"

Roa laughed heartily, "If we unite, even if the World Government wants to retaliate, they'll have to think twice! And we won't even need to confront them head-on! Hahahaha! Destruction is always easier than creation!"

Ha, you guys selling pirated weapons, this time I'll teach you a lesson!

I'd like to see what you're capable of for a few Affiliated Nation and Marine Base! If you're so capable, send the Five Elders or the Knights of God to fight against us!

Let the era of the Four Emperors arrive ahead of schedule!

Hehehehe!

Incidentally, it also gives the loose alliance a common and powerful enemy, thus slightly strengthening everyone's cohesion.

Oh!!

Just hearing Roa say that, Teach's eyes lit up.

As expected of Roa, he's a truly insane man!

To divide up the New World?

One of the world's six largest sea areas has been completely transformed into a pirate Paradise!

That sounds so exciting!

Hearing the same words, Kozuki Toki's reaction was completely opposite to Teach's.

The woman's expression was somewhat pitiful; she simply kept her head down and fed the little girl in her arms.

Joy Boy was the first pirate in history, bringing unprecedented liberation to the world. However, this does not mean that all pirates are like Joy Boy.

In fact, even eight hundred years ago, most of the pirates who broke through the blockades of various countries and set sail under the banner of freedom were just scum who did whatever they wanted.

Roa, do you want to turn this entire sea into a pirate Paradise?

Just how awful is this man?

"However, Roa,"

Kaido's smile deepened, but a hint of doubt lingered in his eyes as he looked at Roa. "Can you really win over all those guys?"

Putting aside the question of when Redfield, that maverick, got involved with Roa, just look at Shiki, Linlin, and Ochoku —which of these guys is easy to talk to?

Roa laughed and said, "That's really something, Big Brother Kaido. Don't use your popularity to judge my popularity."

The succubus of the Rocks Pirates, are you kidding me?

"Hehehe! Then go ahead and do it!"

Kaido burst into laughter, "That sounds really funny!"

To divide up the New World?

Even Kaido got a little excited!

Roa's madness really gave him a feeling of being back in the Rocks Pirates!

Although Rocks is a despicable madman, following him never lacks crazy adventures!

Since that's the case, let's make a big scene!

Haha! I knew you'd agree!

Roa laughed heartily, "Although our ideals cannot be fully realized for the time being, let's use the New World as a testing ground first!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido taken aback, and then...

"Hehehehe!"

Yes, it's our dream!

So, taking advantage of his current mood, Roa started making phone calls.

"Hello, is this Aunt Linlin? I need your help with something. Um, in return, I can tell you the whereabouts of that Bakaria Tribe."

"Red? I need your help with something! Don't worry, it's something really interesting!"

"Uncle Ochoku, gather your men, there's a big deal coming up!"

"Hey, Uncle Shiki, I'm planning a reunion with the remnants of the Rocks Pirates. I have a big plan! Are you sure you don't want to come and join the fun?"

In just a few minutes, Roa put down the Den Den Mushi.

"How?"

He winked smugly at Kaido.

Kaido shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, he really can't compare to Roa.

Even that arrogant bastard Shiki was summoned by him!

So, before dawn even arrived, Kaido had completely forgotten the shame of his crushing defeat and was laughing heartily, chatting and laughing with Roa.

There was one thing he still found very annoying. "It's so boring to have a banquet with you, feeding on human suffering, what a disgusting ability!"

Beside Roa, Kozuki Toki suddenly shuddered.

The expression on Roa's face almost froze.

What does it mean to feed on human suffering?

"There's nothing I can do about it, since you're my dearest Big Brother Kaido!"

Roa picked up his wine glass with a smile.

Kaido then happily clinked glasses with him.

The two leaders were chatting and laughing happily, and the atmosphere at the banquet was naturally quite lively.

Dylan, as the head steward of the Calamity Company, was exchanging pleasantries with Hanafusa, while Judge was already drinking with Sain.

The pleasant banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning.

Roa and Kaido changed locations to drink, discussing the details of their upcoming grand plan while they drank.

The World Government is very strong, extremely strong. If they were to unleash their full power, even all the pirates in the New World combined would likely struggle to withstand them.

Therefore, we must be careful in this operation as well.

And it was at this time...

Below, a sound echoed from a narrow alley between the two buildings on the snail's back.

"Bege!"

It was Doflamingo's voice, "Are you sure that guy will come?"

"Of course!"

Bege, still bandaged and looking like a little mummy, declared confidently, "I challenged that idiot to a duel in the factory district!"

"This is his only route! If we launch a sneak attack here, even if that guy is strong, he won't have time to react and will just get beaten up!"

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo was also wrapped in bandages, nodded repeatedly in satisfaction. "Very good, you can actually use your brain sometimes!"

Bege's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"This time, we'll definitely teach that idiot a lesson!"

Doflamingo was walking around a corner when a huge foot came flying straight at him and kicked him in the face.

Wow!

With a scream, Doflamingo instantly turned into a spinning top, flying out and crashing heavily into the wall behind him.

"Hahaha! Good evening, Doflamingo!"

Teach's dark skin was almost invisible in the darkness, but thankfully, he was also wrapped in bandages.

"Thank you so much for your help before!"

"Wh... what?"

In excruciating pain, Doflamingo struggled to lift his head, the bandages wrapped around his face soaked with blood, and several of his teeth knocked out.

He stared incredulously at Teach as she approached, a chill running down his spine. "Teach! How did you know...?"

Doflamingo was suddenly stunned. Could it be that...?

Then Bege casually walked over to Teach, and the short, chubby boy grinned and said, "That's right, Doflamingo, of course it was me who betrayed you!"

"Bege!!"

Doflamingo was instantly enraged, "You actually!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's all the surprise about, Doflamingo?"

Bege shrugged. "Wasn't it expected that I, who submitted to you because of violence, would betray you because of even greater violence?"

"Hahaha! You're right!"

Teach grinned, his eyes gleaming with a savage light. "Doflamingo, blame yourself for being too weak!"

Doflamingo's eyes darted around, then his tone abruptly changed, "Misunderstanding, Teach, it's all a misunderstanding! I was wrong, I apologize, let's make up!"

There was no other way but to reconcile!

Bege betrayed us; most of his equipment is inside Bege's stomach!

"Reconciliation? At this moment?"

Teach laughed, "You're not kidding, are you!"

As he spoke, his body suddenly rose taller, transforming into a three-headed dog-man. "What I've tasted, I'll certainly repay you properly!"

On a rooftop not far away, Kaido as he turned to look at Roa in disbelief.

Roa shrugged.

Try to curb your jealousy a little, Big Brother Kaido.

It's just another Mythical Zoan, isn't it?

Below.

"Teach! I've already apologized!"

Doflamingo writhed backward like a maggot, utterly terrified.

Teach relished Doflamingo's fear, and he strolled after him with a laugh, "If apologies were enough, what would be the point of fists?"

Bege followed behind Teach, her face full of schadenfreude.

Doflamingo, huh? You think you're so arrogant?!

But, it was at this very moment.

"Teach! Don't push me!!"

Doflamingo's tone changed again, almost grinding his teeth.

"Hahaha! I'm forcing you, what can you do about it?"

Teach smiled smugly.

On the rooftop, Roa shook his head.

Whitebeard is right, Teach. Your biggest weakness is that you're easily carried away by success.

"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Doflamingo pressed hard on his waist, and instantly he was dressed in a golden Battle Suit.

Bege quickly explained, "These are Battle Suit made by Judge, which enhance combat capabilities. We all have them, Teach's should be under construction by now."

"Enhancement?"

Teach's three heads were all laughing, "Then I'll see just how much it can be enhanced!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and threw a powerful punch at Doflamingo.

At the same time, Doflamingo clenched his teeth, which were missing several of them, and activated his Combination Fruit power! The metal he had been using as a belt around his waist suddenly deformed and transferred to his hand, becoming a fist.

Let's go!

The moment Doflamingo fully connected with the metal through his fusion ability, a terrifying devouring force suddenly surged forth, and his body visibly shrank!

But at the same time, he had already thrown a punch!

Dark Inazuma bolts danced across his fist.

"Oops!"

Bege's expression changed.

He knows what Doflamingo did!

This guy was driven to the brink of desperation, so he went crazy!

The next instant, the two fists collided.

Teach's smug smile froze on his face instantly. His arm deformed instantly, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through the wall of the house behind him.

However, Doflamingo was not far from unscathed either. His arm was snapped by the immense force, and even his Battle Suit could not withstand the impact. He was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

My consciousness is fading!

No!

This will lead to death!

Doflamingo bit his tongue hard, regaining some consciousness. He quickly deactivated his ability, and the terrifying devouring stopped.

Even so, this guy has become incredibly thin, almost skin and bones.

"Doflamingo, you bastard!"

Bege couldn't help but be amazed.

Although he was forced into it by Roa, Doflamingo had actually been trying to control Enma all along.

Of course, each attempt drained him of his power, and he was still far from being able to truly control the knife.

However, it wasn't without results.

At least for now, he's capable of delivering such a desperate blow!

But.

"Heh heh, Doflamingo,"

Bege laughed gleefully, "Can you launch a second attack?"

Doflamingo, coughing up blood, glared at the malicious guy and gritted his teeth, "Wait, Bege, we're comrades!"

"Partner?"

Bege sneered, "Who's your partner!"

Is selectively forgetting the past just torturing yourself?

I've wanted revenge for ages!

But.

"Hahaha! You're right! We're partners!"

A weak voice came from behind.

"Ah?"

Bege turned around in surprise.

Then they saw Teach, his right arm dangling, staggering out of the hole in the wall.

"Teach, what did you say?"

"I said, let's leave it at that!"

Teach's voice laced with laughter, "Hahaha! Let's make peace!"

On the rooftop, Roa curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Overconfidence is Teach's weakness.

And that is his strength.

I'm definitely going to write 10,000 words today!
