The heavy shackles pounded on the ground, but they also felt like they were pounding on people's hearts, making the onlookers' heartbeats heavy as well.
Surprisingly, during this execution, the onlookers felt heavy-hearted, but the person being executed felt incredibly relaxed.
Because the onlookers are not looking at the death of an individual, but at the passing of an era.
The executioner, though he is about to die, is finally free from the heavy shackles that force him to move forward!
When Kaido strode out, his radiant smile said it all. He looked around with a knowing gaze, meeting the eyes of almost everyone who looked at him.
Meanwhile, on the observation deck, Stussy swallowed hard and then began his introduction in a low voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the one walking toward us right now is the captain of the Beasts Pirates, the Pirate Emperor known as Kaido of the Kaido of the Beasts, who holds the title of the Emperors of the Sea Wano Country!"
After the era of Pirate King Roger passed, the seas became the domain of three emperors: Whitebeard Newgate, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido of the Beasts!
Before Shanks appeared, there was no concept of the Four Emperors of the Sea, and these three emperors were all recognized as the World's Strongest.
Even their own supporters would engage in numerous behind-the-scenes battles over the relative status of the three of them!
At this point, Stussy swallowed again; this year has truly been a turbulent one.
In less than six months, two old friends died at the hands of Xin Xue.
Perhaps this is a sign that fate is no longer on the side of pirates?
As he thought about it, Stussy composed himself and continued speaking in a somber tone.
"As you can see, Kaido of the Beasts has many injuries, especially the huge wounds on his face and chest!"
It's important to know that before Lord Gawain made up his mind to conquer the Beasts Pirates, even the heroes and Marine Admiral hadn't been able to leave Kaido with any injuries.
The last person to leave a mark on Kaido was Kozuki Oden, the former subordinate of the Pirate King.
From this, everyone should be able to see just how great an achievement my elders have made compared to our predecessors!
When my lord decided to wage war against Kaido, he was under unimaginable pressure, for Kaido was a legendary pirate who had ravaged the seas for decades and whom even the Navy couldn't defeat!
In the distance, at the Marine Headquarters.
As Stussy kept mentioning the navy, Sakazuki's face turned almost green!
How long has it been since he'd seen such blatant favoritism and denigration?
How long has it been since I and the Navy were used as stepping stones and publicly executed in front of the whole world?
Yes, your Dark Bird Ship's conquest of Kaido is indeed a memorable achievement.
But do you really need to keep harping on about our navy?
This is definitely not Gawain Gawain's opinion; it's all that stupid bitch Stussy's own idea!
Gawain's dedication to the navy is...
Well, the adult has never invested in the navy, except for the money donated to Gion.
But the adults' expectations for the navy are absolutely immense!
In short, at this moment, Sakazuki looked at Sengoku with displeasure.
My Fleet Admiral Marshal, didn't you see that the officers below were all blushing with embarrassment because of Stussy?
Why not quickly say something to reassure the troops?
As expected, even without speaking to Akainu, Sengoku immediately slammed his hand on the table.
"It seems that His Highness Gawain has high hopes for his television station; otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to belittling our navy to attract viewers."
Of course, we are different from the Dark Bird Ship, because apart from their individual territories and their ships, they have nothing else to worry about.
But we, we always look after the whole world, at least the whole world except for the New World."
Having said this, Sengoku said no more, but secretly prepared himself for what he would say next.
Since Gawain has set up this platform, I should naturally lead the navy to take it.
The coming era is bound to be turbulent, so let the battle of public opinion between the Navy and Dark Bird Television Station ignite the first spark for the anti-piracy cause across the entire sea!
See, these high-and-mighty smart people all know what the common people prefer to focus on.
There is a saying that goes, "The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen."
Interestingly, the more common a person is, the more they enjoy discussing the rise and fall of dynasties.
Compared to celebrities who entertain the masses, the stories that truly go viral are those about power struggles between nations or between the highest levels of authority.
In the course of such a struggle, both the Navy and Gawain will tacitly plant the idea of de-piracy in everyone's minds.
Only through such subtle and gradual influence can the waves of the times prevent more people who cannot swim from being drowned!
Because Gawain and the Navy are already urging people of this era to learn to swim!
Leaving aside the Navy's affairs, at this very moment, near the Execution Platform in Wano Country...
On the way to the execution platform, Kaido interest.
"Heh, interesting boasting, but it's something every person in a high position of power must be able to do."
Those who work quietly without seeking publicity will never gain favor in any era.
Even the kindest people are foolish enough to only look where it's more attractive.
Kaido didn't say these words aloud; he only thought them in his mind.
He is not a political fool; on the contrary, everyone who becomes one of the Four Emperors is quite capable of governing.
What, do you guys think this is a joke?
Think about it carefully, comrades.
No matter how foolish the Four Emperors may seem, they each command armies of at least hundreds of thousands of men and Grand Fleet, and control over thousands of islands.
Do they really think they can achieve dominance over countless islands and people simply by virtue of their strength?
Strength can only bring you victory, but victory is neither continuous nor permanent; victory only exists in the moment of victory!
Among the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks is undoubtedly the most benevolent. His method of rule is simply to force islands to pay the full amount of money through force.
This is largely due to the fact that he has only been Four Emperors for less than two years. As a newly promoted emperor, he is not yet able to use many of his methods.
He and Kaido equal.
Kaido simply controls Wano Country by supporting puppets, and then uses Wano Country as the core to slightly expand his power into the areas under his control.
This kind of rule resulted in his territory having one of the worst ecological environments among the Four Emperors, so much so that when Red-Haired Shanks challenged the Four Emperors, he first decided to target Kaido's territory and ruthlessly tore off a large chunk of it.
So, does that mean Kaido isn't smart enough?
No, Kaido's political model is a power-centric system. It's not that he can't control every territory he owns, but rather that his pride only allows him to attract and control outstanding individuals.
At the heart of his power are Onigashima and Wano Country.
For Onigashima, an island where hundreds of thousands of people live and carry out countless excellent projects, there has never been any rebellion from within, or even from without.
None of Kaido's core subordinates harbor any resentment towards him. Perhaps in the future, many of Luffy's Supernova will betray him, but that will only be because the Supernova have only been with him for a short time!
Think about it, it's not like there weren't Supernova who were defeated and absorbed by Kaido in the past, but those people wouldn't become completely devoted to him just because they lost.
But in the end, those people gradually integrated into Kaido's system.
The reason for this is that Kaido's forces possess the most transparent and fair reward, punishment, and promotion system in the entire sea!
First, let's talk about the promotion mechanism. Kaido's power is arguably the only absolute strength system in the entire sea.
If you have enough strength, you will have the right to challenge for the top position, and after victory, you will rightfully inherit everything.
This can be seen from Kaido's own style in the face of death; Kaido loses, he lets go of everything without hesitation.
Imagine you're a brilliant and promising Supernova, but after arriving in the New World, you're suddenly defeated and subdued by Kaido!
You were forced to become Kaido's subordinate, but you were treated with courtesy by Kaido. Even when you encountered Kaido on the street, you suddenly had the idea to ask Kaido for a drink.
Kaido would readily agree and have a good drink with you, until you're completely drunk!
At the same time, although you are temporarily subordinate to others, everything here is tied to strength!
Real fighting, Flying Six, All-Stars, even the captain.
If you are strong enough, you can defeat them and win everything!
One year, two years, three years.
You lack the power to escape or betray, but you have ultimately improved!
Thus, you transcended the ordinary fighting style and became a member of the Flying Six, earning considerable respect.
At this point, you might still hate Kaido, but not everyone will continue to hate him.
You'll only resent yourself for not being strong enough, and it's precisely because you're not strong enough that you can't achieve more.
See? This is Kaido's management strategy for his core members.
Putting aside the fact that Kaido is a pirate crew, almost everyone would love this pure and extremely transparent management system.
There are almost no people with connections here, and absolutely no unspoken rules.
Strength.
Only strength matters!
Therefore, the more you care about your own strength, the more you fall into Kaido's control.
See? Is Kaido really incapable?
That's ridiculous. How could someone who can manage hundreds of millions of people be incompetent?
He even possessed qualities similar to those of Cao Cao.
This can be seen from the fact that he repeatedly invited Ashura Doji to join his ranks!
He constantly sought to recruit outstanding enemies, and he had invited Oden to join him many times.
Unfortunately, those who insist on meritocracy are the most likely to ignore the voices of the weak.
The more one insists on prioritizing merit, the more arrogant one becomes.
In short, this is why Kaido's direct rule failed to extend to every inch of his territory.
Because aside from the money they collect from other islands, they only care about whether there are any new people worth recruiting on their territory.
As for ordinary people?
They become weak because they have too little vision, too little talent, too much bad luck, and even other shortcomings such as laziness.
Kaido thought, "Since they don't even try as hard as we do, why should I care about them?"
Indeed, this is one of the drawbacks of a meritocratic system. In such an environment, people inevitably fall into a vicious cycle of ignoring the weak.
Not to mention that Kaido's rule was also mixed with a terrifying, acquired bloodline worship stemming from his love for Zoan Devil Fruit!
The pursuit of lineage is far more dangerous Koby the supremacy of strength. If something goes wrong with that, it could create a torrent like the Hitler!
In conclusion, considering all factors, Kaido's control over territory is truly the worst.
At the same time, due to the existence of the theory of Devil Fruit lineage, he has not even been able to solidify his foundation of prioritizing strength.
Although the strong are confident that they can obtain a superior position in Beast Pirates, this position is almost impossible for someone without Zoan Devil Fruit.
Of course, the bloodline theory also has its advantages, namely individuals integrated into the bloodline, such as the new Zoan that Kaido later absorbed.
Their respect for the team far surpasses that of the average pirate crew!
But this only compares them to ordinary pirate crews; they can't compare to any of the other Four Emperors' pirate crews!
See? Because the other Four Emperors all did things far better than Kaido!
In terms of controlling people, Shanks is arguably number one. His crew does not prioritize strength, nor does it subscribe to any concept of bloodline.
People say that Lucky Roux, Yasopp, and Beckman each have their strengths and weaknesses, but no one cares why Beckman became the first mate.
Compared to the other Four Emperors, the Red-Haired Pirates are the most thoroughly dream-like team. Their internal structure is similar to that of any team in the mid-stage of its entrepreneurial journey, which is approaching its peak.
At this stage, the team members still harbored entrepreneurial passion and shared dreams, marching forward with the same goal and truly enjoying the joy of their dreams gradually coming true.
Such a team is only slightly vulnerable to being breached from within if it transitions to the next two phases.
Aside from Shanks, how do the other two Four Emperors govern their people?
The Whitebeard and the Big Mom used kinship ties to govern people.
On one hand, there's a son; on the other, a daughter.
On one hand, there's adoption; on the other, there's biological parentage.
Without exception, they all chose the clan model when it came to governing their core members. This model is almost unbeatable, except for Shanks' dream-driven startup team.
The Immortal that clans can endure for thousands of years is enough to prove the superiority of this method!
So, setting aside Whitebeard and Big Mom's methods of governing, let's just talk about the effectiveness of their rule.
Undoubtedly, Whitebeard's governance was far superior to Big Mom's.
So, let's start with the Big Mom.
The Big Mom's rule is simple and brutal, yet remarkably effective.
Nothing more than pure, oppressive rule!
Especially due to the unique nature of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom's oppressive rule easily amplifies the people's fear to the extreme.
This simple, direct, yet remarkably effective method of governance is very common, including in the Middle East and Africa, where Gawain lives!
You might think this approach is easily torn apart?
Or perhaps they believe that such rulers are easily overthrown?
Haha, you're wrong.
If this method were so easy to expose, then in many places in the real world where oppressive rule exists, those powerful figures who act in this way would have been overthrown by countless suffering civilians long ago!
But the reality is, well...
Even the oppressive rule of the Burmese regime in northern Myanmar has endured for a long time in our world, which prides itself on civilization and wisdom.
Simply put, humans are animals, and all animals have the ability to be domesticated!
As long as the previous two generations, who were under oppressive rule, failed to overthrow the rulers.
Such oppressive rule can never be overthrown by forces from the bottom up!
Think back to any power or nation in history that has been able to establish a high-pressure rule; in the first two generations after the establishment of that power, it was during this period that the first two generations were crucial.
As long as their superiors do not become corrupt and attack each other, they will always be defeated by external forces.
Any regime that is defeated by rebellions launched from the bottom up is certainly not one that employs absolute oppressive rule that readily enslaves the common people and oppresses tyranny.
We can cite almost any example to illustrate this point.
The fact is, Big Mom, who has the ability to exercise oppressive rule for decades, has far greater control over her territory than Kaido, except for Whitebeard.
Think of the Merfolk Kingdom, ruled solely by oppressive power...
No, the Merfolk Kingdom is not under oppressive rule yet. It only faces threatening rule because it is too far away from Big Mom.
Even so, Fish-Man Island always remembered to meet the Big Mom's requests, constantly producing candy for Big Mom.
This is how Big Mom demonstrate their influence on the world.
As for Whitebeard...
Whitebeard's control over the territory was undoubtedly a federal system.
Whitebeard's Grand Fleet was the largest Grand Fleet at sea, and his captains were like lords of countless kingdoms, all serving Whitebeard, their king.
Whitebeard doesn't directly control those territories, which means that my subordinates aren't my subordinates!
This system was still in use in China during the Han Dynasty; for example, the lord's lord was not my lord.
As for Europe, they were still using this method hundreds of years ago.
I am a vassal and knight of the Earl, and I serve the Earl more closely than directly.
This system is prone to corruption.
However, this system also has the effect of activating resources!
Because no matter what, once this system brings a territory into your hands, it truly becomes your territory!
He was not only an official in charge of this territory, but also its actual owner, and his children and family would be its heirs.
Simply put, this is the difference between nationalization and privatization!
Or, to put it another way, this is a scheme for the privatization of land and rights.
Everyone is more willing to dedicate themselves to the territory that truly belongs to them. You may find it difficult to encounter a truly good official who cares for the people and the city, but you can absolutely believe that no lord would not want their territory to have a stronger military and economy than others.
Because being an official is ultimately just working for someone else; it's about doing things for others.
But the territory, it's my own!
In short, the lord system was eliminated because the quality of lords varied greatly, but ultimately, lords were more eager than officials to strengthen their territories.
This system has its advantages, but the bloodline succession system tied to it gradually diminishes its potential, because apart from entrepreneurs, those who maintain the business rarely possess all the abilities of the previous generation.
The Whitebeard Pirates, on the other hand, have a scattered federation that is a newly emerging political system.
In such a federation, every lord of every territory is one of the most outstanding entrepreneurs of the current era!
You could even see them as King Arthur and his knights.
Such a lord during the founding period is truly capable of governing the country on horseback and bringing peace to the people on foot!
It is precisely because of this that Whitebeard was able to always occupy the entrance and exit of the new era, consuming the most nutritious first batch of newcomers.
The other three Emperors of the Sea only got to eat the leftovers from Whitebeard's mouth!
Whitebeard's Grand Fleet has always been the Navy's greatest enemy!
Think about it, in the entire Pirate King world, the only person who can gather the Three Admirals, the Shichibukai, and even mobilize Sengoku Garp, and a whole host of other Marine forces...
There was only one Whitebeard Grand Fleet!
So far, of the Four Emperors from the same generation, the other two who died have all been overthrown by Luffy and his friends.
This was all due to external forces directly destroying the core of their territory, and their governing methods prevented the territories they controlled from providing them with support when they suffered setbacks.
Ah, whether it's condescending disdain or the threat of continuous oppression.
These things only allow leaders to better exploit the people!
How can you talk about ideals and responsibilities with people living under this system?
In this state, the people will only roll their Dabai at you!
Looking back now, the strength of the Shichibukai was constantly elevated, and the strength of the Three Admirals also gradually increased due to the contrast with their opponents.
Against the backdrop of everyone getting stronger, only the Whitebeard Grand Fleet was able to withstand the combined might of the entire Navy and save Ace from the Execution Platform!
Although Ace ultimately died at Akainu's hands.
But that's Akainu, the one who chased after the Four Emperors Blackbeard for a full year and a half, and still managed to turn around and defeat Aokiji to become Akainu Fleet Admiral.
You want Akainu to fight the Whitebeard Pirates himself?
He might go, but he'll only fantasize about winning, because he's resolute and proud, not foolish!
In conclusion, this is an analysis of rule by man within the core leadership.
Red-Haired Shanks is better than Kaido than Big Mom, who is better than Whitebeard.
Because ideals outweigh reality, and outweigh the constraints of bloodline and the emotional constraints of non-bloodline!
Could Red-Haired Shanks' subordinates betray him?
Has any of Kaido's subordinates, whom he has controlled for over three years, betrayed Kaido?
Some of the Big Mom's children do hate Big Mom, but at most they'll work for her without putting in the effort; they won't and dare not betray her.
As for Whitebeard...
Not to mention Blackbeard, he also had another son who stabbed Whitebeard in the back at the most crucial moment...
As for the means of governance...
Whitebeard> Big Mom> Red-Haired Shanks> Kaido
This means that a united community of interests is greater than oppressive rule, and oppressive rule is greater than a benevolent tax system and a rule that keeps the people ignorant.
Whitebeard's Grand Fleet, if assembled, could storm Marine Headquarters.
No one dares to betray the Big Mom in Big Mom territory.
In Red-Haired Shanks' territory, all they know is to pay money. They are the rules of the game; they pay, and Red-Haired Shanks protects them from people like Kid.
And Kaido.
He had resistance forces everywhere under his command, especially those led by the Nine Red Scabbards of Wano Country...
This is roughly a comparison of the ecosystems among the Four Emperors.
However, this does not represent the full extent of the Four Emperors' abilities.
Whitebeard was too kind-hearted; he couldn't bring himself to lead his knights, like those of King Arthur, to wage a campaign that swept across the land.
The Big Mom's madness also prevented her from transitioning from a high-pressure approach to a more lenient one. Her addiction to sweets and her yearning for spiritual fulfillment left her with no choice but to resort to high-pressure rule.
Because a benevolent leader cannot explain his frequent tantrums of killing and soul-devouring.
And it's because good people are so damn easy targets for having guns pointed at them...
As for Red-Haired Shanks, he has only been one of the Four Emperors for less than two years; he has no time to govern.
Kaido, without his unwavering determination, achieved nothing. His pride made him everything, and the very territory he cared about, ironically, prevented him from nurturing a better future shogun like Yamato, who could truly control Wano Country Yamato...
You could say that the Four Emperors each have their own personality and weaknesses.
But you must acknowledge their individual abilities as leaders.
Every achievement has its roots.
At this moment, Kaido's Haki and pride were shattered by Gawain's Dark Bird Ship.
His thoughts were elevated, and he gained a deeper understanding of the countless ideas he had missed in the past.
Looking at Gawain on the observation deck, Kaido took a long breath.
"That woman's voice is about to become the first torch that ignites the world, and I am the spark that sets it on fire."
At the same time, he trampled the reputation of the Navy and pirates underfoot, thus making the height of the Dark Bird Ship even more prominent. This man was announcing that he would stand in the spotlight!
Ah, what a pity, if only he weren't Celestial Dragon.
Or rather, if he were my son...
How wonderful my life would be!
But he wasn't, and I met him far too soon—what a ridiculous fate!
As he thought this, Kaido grinned and walked to the edge of the Execution Platform.
Looking at the steps leading to the stage, he smiled and said softly.
"Haha, I'm treated much better than Roger. Roger had two annoying executioners standing there before he died."
But my Execution Platform is empty!
With that, Kaido strode towards the Execution Platform, arriving in a few steps at the spot where he was about to die.
Behind him, the escorts did not follow; he was alone on the Execution Platform.
Even so, Kaido simply knelt there, indifferently looking at everyone who treated him as a spectacle.
Some people might not understand why he was so decisive.
Even if no one asks him to, he will kneel down without hesitation.
If you ask Kaido himself, Kaido will definitely tell you that the ultimate pride is to die gracefully.
Just like Yang Guang, who insisted on tidying his appearance even before his death and demanded that he not be beheaded so as not to damage the image of an emperor.
Even after being brutally abused and facing a tragic death, Chengcheng still puts on lipstick despite her immense suffering.
Be proactive and enjoy the life you've earned; that's what it means to be successful.
Accepting failure and embracing its consequences—that's what it means to let go.
Those who cannot let go of what they have are often unable to rise above chaos.
Those who rise to the top from chaos, regardless of their personality, often share similar characteristics.
After Kaido knelt down, he looked towards Gawain from afar.
At this moment, the world is vast, but in Kaido's eyes there is only Gawain.
Kaido didn't even take Yamato, who was standing not far from Gawain, seriously!
As for Yamato, seeing Kaido about to be executed, even she couldn't help but fall silent.
Although she hated him, she knew he was her father, and even if he was an enemy, he was still her father.
Then Yamato murmured softly.
"Kaido, you've finally paid the price for your sins, but even after you die, I'll still burn your bones to make oden in your memory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officers around Gawain looked at Yamato with the same eyes they had for a monster!
Even Mihawk couldn't resist the urge; he wanted to know how Kaido had raised such a daughter!
Such an action naturally attracted the attention of the Den Den Mushi, and Stussy also froze in shock. The crowd watching from all over the world looked at the beautiful and heroic woman with all sorts of imaginations.
After a moment, Stussy quickly concealed his shock and then explained to the live stream viewers.
"The person everyone is looking at is Kaido of the Beasts's biological daughter."
Look, even the daughter of Beasts Pirates couldn't bear her own father's crimes and chose to abandon darkness for light, supporting Lord Gawain by putting righteousness above family ties.
In short, that's why, when Kaido was about to be executed, everyone turned their attention to this intelligent and strong girl.
After easily explaining the past, Stussy harbored resentment for a while and secretly gave up the idea of winning over this big-breasted white-haired man.
Who would want to be friends with a psychopath?
I'm afraid only Franky likes it.
Or perhaps, the Straw Hat Crew and the people of Wano Country like it?
In short, the matter of Yamato was quickly resolved, and Kaido, kneeling on the Execution Platform, waited a moment before laughing and speaking to Gawain in the distance.
"Haha, Your Gawain!"
Why haven't you sent an executioner yet?
Hurry up, I don't want to kneel here for too long!
These words drew shocked looks from countless viewers, who truly admired Kaido's nonchalant attitude in the face of death.
At the same time, they were also puzzled by the meaning behind Kaido's words.
Even Roger had executioners by his side, so why doesn't Kaido have any?
Is Kaido not going to die?
Just as people were lost in thought, Gawain nodded slightly.
Then, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword and helped Rokumei Kotetsu take a step off the observation deck.
He stepped into thin air and slowly walked towards Kaido.
As Gawain walked towards him, Kaido was momentarily confused, then his eyes widened suddenly.
He looked surprised, extremely surprised!
At that very moment, Stussy, who was prepared, also addressed the audience.
"Look, everyone! Lord Gawain Wen is personally walking to the execution ground. This is because he once said something to us subordinates."
A true king, if possible, should give a final farewell to everyone he judges.
Only by looking into the eyes of the one being judged can a king truly acknowledge the authority of every command he issues!
At this point, Stussy licked his lips. "As expected of Lord Gawain!"
He's such a master at creating entertaining content!
Although Roger's execution attracted worldwide attention, what the world remembers most about that grand event is Roger's astonishing talk of treasure.
The Navy, which had hoped to win public support and gain political advantage by broadcasting the execution live, ended up in an even worse situation because Roger stole the spotlight!
Gawain, he's a master of propaganda!
If Gawain is willing to take action personally, this top-tier man, who possesses status, wealth, strength, and good looks, can almost completely dispel any further statements Kaido makes!
Before this, people like Rayleigh and Issho were worried that Kaido would cause trouble again before he died.
As a result, after Gawain's decision was made, the Dark Bird Ship became a world where everyone was happy, except for Shiryu who was injured.
At that very moment, just as the crew of the Dark Bird Ship had imagined, when Gawain personally stood in front of Kaido, even the people present were in an uproar, not to mention the viewers in front of the television!
Kaido, kneeling on the ground, looked down at Gawain with excitement.
"Haha, you rascal, I never expected you to do something like this."
This is truly the greatest respect you can show me. If I had met you thirty years ago, I might have become your most loyal and wise ruler!
Unfortunately, haha, my inflated heart can no longer be contained within a seashell to pursue the possibility of transforming into a pearl!
After saying that, Kaido looked down at the Execution Platform below. His eyes clearly saw that some guys wearing Japanese ronin hats were making moves in the crowd.
He also saw that before those people could even move, they were taken into control by a swarm of Dark Bird Ship spies.
The leader was a ronin whose hairstyle was so wildly unruly that it couldn't even fit inside his straw hat.
He even personally controlled it with a smile.
On the Execution Platform, Gawain nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ichisho pursed his lips knowingly and casually released Denjiro.
The next moment, Denjiro thought he had broken free from Issho's control, so he rushed towards Kaido at high speed, which also created the opportunity for Gawain to further cleanse Wano Country!
But he knew nothing; he was just screaming wildly!
"Kaido will never die today. The only thing that can defeat him and save Wano Country is the prophecy of my lord and my wife!"
Kaido, you can't die yet... Aaaaaaah!!!
With a single, effortless strike, Gawain decapitated Denjiro.
After letting Denjiro fall near the Execution Platform, Gawain's eyes turned slightly cold, then he smiled.
"The one who tried to save you at the last moment turned out to be your most loyal enemy... How interesting."
"Hahaha, the most loyal enemy?"
They're just a bunch of fools and prisoners of fate!
From the very first day I became powerful, I told myself not to become anyone, and even less to become a pawn of fate.
Even fate can't manipulate me, what are they anyway!
At this point, Kaido chuckled and roared!
"Hey, you idiots all over the world, listen up!"
I don't have any treasure, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you!
All I want to tell you is that no one is born to be ridden by nobles!
Stand up, raise your heads, point your weapons at those nobles and those who control you, and tell them to go to hell!
Doing this won't necessarily make you a powerful figure like Lao Tzu!
But doing this... will definitely be incredibly fun, ahahahahahaha!!!
Brush!!!
With a single stroke, the head fell to the ground.
Kaido of the Beasts... is doomed!!!
