He's here so quickly?

Brother Kaido, you aren't just on a business trip nearby, are you?

I just saw in the newspaper not too long ago that you were beaten so badly by the hero Garp in another sea that you were fleeing for your life.

Don't you find it embarrassing? Brother Kaido, to meet an old friend when you're down on your luck.

Roa sighed. It seemed he wouldn't be able to leave as he pleased today.

He pushed open the car door and stepped out of the carriage. Roa looked up at the monster peeking its head out from the clouds in the sky and asked a question he already knew the answer to, "Oh! Brother Kaido, you look so cool like this! The Mythical Zoan, the Azure Dragon Fruit. Did Linlin Auntie give you the captain's treasure? What was the price? You didn't give Linlin Auntie a child, did you?"

Bullet and Dylan got out of the car behind Roa. Bullet, in particular, looked up at Kaido with extreme vigilance.

"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting! I just owe Linlin a big favor."

Brother Kaido snorted coldly, his body lowering further. He was now only hovering dozens of meters in the sky. For him, who was hundreds of meters long, this distance was already close enough to touch the ground by lowering his head.

He sized up Roa, whom he hadn't seen in six years.

Roa was now about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in the luxurious robes worn by nobles, with a sword hanging at his waist.

His black hair was slightly curly and lay limply on his head. His skin was exceptionally fair, and he seemed to glow, looking very handsome. The corners of his mouth naturally curved upwards, complementing his always-smiling, curved eyebrows, making him seem to be smiling at all times.

"That's truly a shame."

Roa said regretfully, "I was quite looking forward to seeing how extraordinary a child inheriting both your bloodlines would be."

To be honest, if a child inheriting the bloodlines of Linlin Auntie and Brother Kaido were truly born, Wang Luffy would really break out in a cold sweat.

"You brat, even though you've grown up, you still think of such bizarre things."

Brother Kaido continued to snort coldly, "I should have known you'd be here! This country full of wails is your favorite lair!"

"Really, Brother Kaido, don't make me sound like some monster lurking in a cave waiting for a hero to slay me."

Roa complained, "If you have to say it, I should be the Demon King, right? The place I live shouldn't be a damp cave, but a magnificent Demon King's Castle."

"Demon King?"

Kaido's huge eyes rolled slightly, and he took in the scene below.

The more than a hundred Ghoul with pitch-black eyes startled him slightly.

He knew how picky Roa was. If his standards hadn't dropped over the years, each of these Ghoul would be no ordinary fighter.

And.

Kaido's gaze focused on Bullet behind Roa.

This kid was also emitting an unusual aura.

Roa, after six years, truly had a bit of a Demon King's demeanor!

However, this only proved that he had come at the perfect time!

Greed flashed in Kaido's eyes.

If he could bring this brat Roa under his command, his sparsely populated Beasts Pirates would finally take shape!

He had to hurry!

Shiki and Linlin, those two scoundrels, were definitely on their way too. Perhaps even Ochoku and Silver Axe would start making their move.

It couldn't be helped. Roa was just that popular. When he joined the Rocks Pirates, everyone knew he was destined to stand at the pinnacle of the sea.

It's just that this brat was too cunning. He didn't return to Beehive Island six years ago, otherwise, the battle for him would have already broken out.

Kaido prepared to extend an invitation.

But.

"Brother Kaido, you've come at the perfect time!"

Roa tilted his head back and said with a smile, "I was just about to start a war company. You love war so much, why don't you come and work with me? We'll make it bigger and stronger, create more glory, and expand our business worldwide!"

Kaido, who was organizing his words, was genuinely choked by Roa's statement. It was a complete reversal of roles; he was the one who came to recruit.

Roa knew very well that his invitation was pure nonsense, but he knew even better why Brother Kaido had come.

He was here to freeload off him!

Who were the current Beasts Pirates, besides Brother Kaido himself, but a bunch of trash? Not a single one of the Calamities or the Flying Six.

If Morgans wasn't Brother Kaido's lackey, then the Beasts Pirates wouldn't even have a single executive with a bounty exceeding 300 million.

It couldn't be helped. Uncle Shiki was too dominant. Anyone with a bit of strength who wanted to latch onto someone powerful had gone to join him.

Frankly speaking, the current Beasts Pirates, apart from Brother Kaido himself, were not even as good as his Ghoul army!

I can only say, Brother Kaido, why don't you just go back early and give birth to my great-niece? Then I might call you father-in-law. Who could say no to that tomboyish girl with white hair and thunderous power?

As for anything else, let's not think about it.

"I'm not interested in your business!"

However, Brother Kaido clearly didn't understand Roa's high emotional intelligence and said directly, "Join my Beasts Pirates, Roa! If you and I join forces, we can surpass even the Rocks Pirates at their peak!"

"Sigh."

Roa let out a sigh.

Big Brother Kaido, why are you so emotionally stunted?

I already told you I have a career I need to pursue, so why are you still shamelessly spewing such nonsense?

"I'm sorry, Big Brother Kaido!"

Roa said righteously, "Only a captain is qualified to be my captain! The day my captain died, I decided I was done being a pirate!"

Hearing this, even a man like Kaido couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Weren't you the first one to run at God Valley, you brat?

And after that, you didn't even return to Beehive Island, you packed your bags early and prepared to slip away.

However, he also understood Roa's meaning.

"So, kid,"

Big Brother Kaido's gaze instantly turned hostile, "Are you rejecting me?"

WHOOSH!!

A violent aura descended like a tsunami.

The very earth trembled, and Roa's subordinates—no, his employees—foamed at the mouth and passed out one by one.

The Ghouls were mostly unaffected. They didn't have their own will to begin with, so there was no question of losing consciousness.

Even Bullet's eyes widened.

Just like Lord Roa!

Roa shook his head helplessly.

He knew this would be the outcome. Big Brother Kaido would throw a tantrum if things didn't go his way.

"Yes."

He said.

BOOM!!

Pitch-black lightning instantly erupted from Roa's body, flailing its claws and radiating in all directions.

The two immense Conqueror's Haki clashed instantly, their forceful collision igniting countless Haki lightning bolts.

The air vibrated, and the ground shattered.

Dylan couldn't help but stagger backward. Even he couldn't ignore this level of Conqueror's Haki clash.

"What?"

Big Brother Kaido was shocked.

This level of Conqueror's Haki!

This kid!

"I really can't compare to you, Big Brother Kaido. At this level of Conqueror's Haki, you are indeed stronger right now."

Roa praised sincerely.

The strength of Conqueror's Haki depends solely on the user's own power.

Big Brother Kaido is still strong.

However, he wasn't so strong as to be unreachable.

In fact, if Uncle Shiki or Aunt Linlin had come, Roa would definitely have made a different decision.

But Big Brother Kaido at twenty-seven was different.

Big Brother Kaido's strength was just within reach.

"Mwahahahaha! Interesting! Then let me see what gives you the guts to reject me, kid!"

The dragon inhaled, "Heat Breath!"

Oh?

Playing with fire in front of me?
