Destroy Everything That Stands in My Way!

"World Destroyer? Byndi Wald!"

Kozuki Oden, who was struggling to resist the opponent's brutal punches, was taken aback, but immediately felt that the title and name were somewhat familiar.

I remember now!

The first time I heard this name was when I was with the Whitebeard Pirates. Back then, Whitebeard mentioned that Byndi Wald was a funny but short-lived old bastard.

The second time was during Roger Pirates. That left the deepest impression because Roger said that Byndi Wald was a powerful opponent who could not be defeated in a short time!

"A guy that even 'Whitebeard' and Roger found troublesome."

Kozuki Oden's mood sank to the bottom.

Although he had reached the level of top combat power, he had fought against Whitebeard and Roger, and he knew very well that there were certain strength differences between top combat power.

Although the difference in strength isn't to the point where we can't even run away, the key issue is that we're in a situation where we can't escape!

Firstly, this is Wano Country, specifically Kuri Village.

Secondly, since he ran away, Byndi Wald will definitely take his anger out on the daimyo and Samurai present.

Thirdly, his wife and children were all here.

Therefore, he could not run away; he could only fight to the death. His only hope was to defeat Byndi Wald, then find a way to break through the barrier defense of Kurozumi Semimaru, and then take back his wife!

"Heh heh heh, this is truly despairing."

While engaging in a fierce battle with Byndi Wald, Kozuki Oden sighed bitterly to himself, but on the surface, his eyes remained resolute.

He will never give up!

[Clang----]

The Black Blade and the black fist clashed once more, the surrounding air compressed into visible shockwaves within Formless ripples, and the suddenly rising gale swirled around the two like Tatsumaki, producing a sharp and piercing sound of clashing metal.

But immediately, with the unparalleled force of the counterattack, Byndi Wald and Kozuki Oden were forcibly separated, and both were sent flying backward amidst the roar of explosions.

"This kid's power is so strange."

Byndi Wald floated in the air using Geppo, staring in astonishment at Kozuki Oden, who had fallen back to the ground. He saw that there were long, thin cuts on Oden's right fist, which gleamed with a metallic Darkshine.

Even though the opponent's Haki didn't seem particularly impressive, every time he clashed with those two swords, his own Armament Haki was easily breached, causing damage to his body.

"Is there something wrong with the knife he's holding?"

He really didn't expect that his first battle after being released from prison would be one in which he would get injured first, and his opponent would be a thirty-four-year-old kid!

It's not surprising that Byndi Wald couldn't recognize the Internal Destruction technique of Armament Haki.

Because when he was captured by the Navy, it was exactly six years before Kozuki Oden encountered the Whitebeard Pirates, and very few people outside the area possessed this skill.

Whether it's Whitebeard, Roger, or Shiki, they all frequently use Conqueror's Haki's Coating techniques.

The reason it's said that there are only a few people is...

Six years ago, in order to defeat Chinjao's Chin-Jao the Drill, Garp mastered the Internal Destruction technique of Armament Haki by the Fierce Hammer of Eight Mountains without any formal instruction.

It's something I know how to do, but I don't know how to teach others.

However, at that time, Byndi Wald had no chance to fight Garp, so naturally he had no understanding of the Internal Destruction of Armament Haki.

"That's strange, this Byndi Wald doesn't seem very strong."

Back on the ground Kozuki Oden looked at the burly figure in the air, slightly taller than himself, and his mind was filled with golden question marks.

It seems to be similar to Kaido before, or even easier to deal with. After all, Kaido not only has super strong regenerative ability, but his wind, fire Raiden are also quite troublesome.

"And he doesn't seem to be able to use Conqueror's Haki to Coating?"

Now Kozuki Oden truly wondered if Whitebeard and Roger had played a joke on him back then.

Yes.

Byndi Wald doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki, and therefore doesn't know the Coating techniques of Conqueror's Haki.

So why was he considered a man to be feared by the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, alongside Law, Platinum, and Gold, and even given the title of "World Destroyer"?

This was a problem that Kozuki Oden couldn't understand, but it seemed to be a good thing for him.

Thinking about this...

With a deafening bang, he shattered the ground beneath him once more, his entire body Coating in crimson lightning imbued with Conqueror's Haki, shooting skyward like a bright red beam of light.

"Hehehe, it seems I've been underestimated."

Byndi Wald felt the pain in his fists and looked at the brat who dared to rush up to him. He could no longer suppress his anger, and a raging murderous aura rose from his body as if it were a tangible thing.

He was already seething with anger and resentment, and now he was completely enraged, even losing his temper.

Actually...

His anger and rage primarily stemmed from the World Government.

Six years ago, he was first captured after being planted as a spy by the World Government, who turned his subordinates against him. He was then frozen in Impel Down's 'Level 6 Infinite Hell'.

In fact, in this respect alone, his treatment was better than that of the other prisoners who were not frozen, after all, the latter had truly spent six years in hunger and torment, while he had only taken a nap.

But Byndi Wald didn't think so.

He felt as if he had just been betrayed and frozen, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the hateful man in black again, who wanted to recruit him!

This is downright insulting, mocking, isn't it?

But the other party was clearly prepared. Not only did he tell him that six years had passed, but his brother and three old subordinates had not broken up and were still waiting for him outside.

Most importantly, they have also been captured by the World Government. If they do not agree, the only option is to send the four of them in as well.

However, meeting is impossible, since they are not yet qualified to be imprisoned in 'Level 6 Infinite Hell'.

These words immediately calmed Byndi Wald down, and the next step was to try to negotiate.

Discuss the details.

Byndi Wald is going to join Army Headquarters.

What he can get is that his Byojack, who has congenital muscular dystrophy since childhood, and Sebastian, the 'Fish Titans' who lost his sight in battle, will receive the best treatment from the Medical Academy.

At the same time.

Naitin, a 'traditional Chinese Medicine's doctor from the Kano Country, is invited to join the Medical Academy.

Gairam, a shipwright and engineer who is Paramecia 'Cube-Cube Fruit' user, will be recommended to Water Seven to work with Tom's Workers on the Sea Train project. If successful, he will have the opportunity to enter the Academy of Sciences, possibly the Shipbuilding Research Institute or another research institute.

If Sebastian, the 'Fish Titans,' regains his sight, he could join the Fish-Man Unit at Marine Headquarters as an officer.

Byndi Wald could also often meet up with them during his holidays when he had no assignments.

In short, everything was arranged clearly and thoroughly for them!

Certainly.

Ultimately, what shattered the last remaining lingering doubt in Byndi Wald's heart was the immense allure of the Star Gate and the myriad worlds, because his initial purpose for setting sail was encouraged by his Byojack to explore this world when he grew up.

So, what's more appealing than exploring countless worlds?

To put it bluntly...

He had no ambition to become a king or a hegemon, which is perhaps the biggest reason why he didn't possess Conqueror's Haki.

Although Byndi Wald reluctantly agreed, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

So what should we do?

And so, Wano Country and Kozuki Oden became the perfect targets for venting their frustrations!

"Destroy everything that stands in my way!"

Byndi Wald roared furiously in the air, his voice almost like an exploding cannonball, sweeping across the entire arena like Formless tsunami.
