"How is that possible!" Jerry didn't believe it, nor did the others. They thought Teach was talking nonsense, still drunk.

"Then you wouldn't know," Teach chuckled. "You know our King's ability, right?" Jerry nodded, about to speak when Teach began, his face full of admiration, "Our King's ability is beast taming. He can tame any wild beast or animal. In his hands, he holds a beast army composed entirely of ferocious beasts."

Then, Teach leaned close to Jerry's ear. "Beast Island to the north of the kingdom is controlled by the King. Even the Beast Kings of those monsters can only act like dogs in the face of the King's ability."

Teach seemed unable to contain his excitement. "I heard from my relative that the King's ability seems to have made a big breakthrough."

"What breakthrough?" Jerry asked. This was huge news.

"He can control users of Zoan-type Devil Fruits," Teach whispered.

"What? How is that possible? He can control even ability users?" Jerry's eyes widened, as if he knew what Teach was about to say. The other Beasts Pirates also lost their appetite for drinking, quietly listening to Teach's words, their hearts churning with immense waves of emotion.

"So, let's go quickly. Don't stay with the Beasts Pirates anymore. I heard the King has already set his sights on Kaido of the Beasts. As long as he eats the King's creation, he can control Kaido and become the kingdom's strongest fighter, its doorman." Teach patted his shoulder. "This matter is a kingdom secret, so don't tell anyone." After speaking, Teach stood up and walked outside.

They were still processing the news Teach had given them. It was too shocking. After a long time, they hadn't reacted.

When they came to their senses, they wanted to find Teach, but he was already gone. They couldn't find any trace of him outside.

How could they find Teach? In a small alley, his body changed, returning to his original appearance. He wouldn't do something like this in his true form, so he used Life Return to adjust his facial muscles and height. He quietly watched the next actions of these Beasts Pirates members. This was a crucial part of his plan.

"Hey, what do we do next?" one pirate asked.

"Idiot, of course, we inform the Governor directly. The Governor is so powerful, how could he be controlled so easily? Didn't that person just say that only by eating the King's creation would one be controlled? The Governor knows this news, he's not a fool, how could he eat it?" another pirate said beside him. He was their leader and a true admirer of Kaido.

"We've done a great service this time. The Governor will definitely reward us handsomely. This place is so boring, I was afraid the Governor would forget about us."

"Okay, let's go back to our base first."

Such a big matter, of course, they should quickly inform Lord Kaido. What mood would they have for eating? They were all members of the Beasts Pirates. If Lord Kaido were subdued, what would they do?

"Brr-brr! Brr-brr!" New World, a Beast Island. "Thunder Bagua!" A giant nearly eight meters tall, with a pair of curved horns on his head, thick black hair, bare chest, a red dragon scale tattoo on his left arm and chest, and powerful muscles, exuding an aura even more ferocious than a beast. Up close, he was like a demon god, undeniably powerful.

This was Kaido, Kaido of the Beasts, possessing immortality, the future Yonko Kaido.

He held a giant club, emanating powerful thunder and flashing with lightning. This was lightning more powerful than Teach's, natural lightning. Opposite him was a beast nearly a hundred meters long, a true behemoth, a legendary monster, a monster like a legendary dragon, with thick scales, sharp claws, and carrying terrifying power. It collided with Kaido's club in mid-air.

For a time, it was a stalemate. In terms of strength, this dragon-like monster actually had the upper hand.

Kaido was wrapped in bandages. He was injured. This was from challenging Roger before. Those people had no honor. As a result, Kaido was ganged up on by a group of them, beaten unconscious, and then thrown into the sea.

The great battle continued. Facing such a giant beast, the enormous Kaido seemed incredibly small. He seemed not to be having enough fun. He put away his club, and no one knew where he put it. He directly transformed into a blue divine dragon hundreds of meters long. This was a confrontation between a divine dragon and a giant dragon, a scene that seemed to only exist in myths, now unfolding before them.

Kate Kingdom. "Why isn't Boss Kaido answering the Den Den Mushi? Didn't the news say he wasn't out?" a pirate asked.

"Don't you know Governor Kaido? He's probably fighting something somewhere again and can't be bothered with us, but it should be soon." another pirate said.

"Haha, didn't the newspaper say before that Boss Kaido challenged everyone to a one-on-one with the Roger Pirates? So willful, not even bringing a subordinate, and ended up getting beaten badly." a pirate laughed. "I heard someone say it took two weeks to find Boss Kaido and pull him out of the sea."

Just then, "Brr-brr!" The Den Den Mushi rang. "Alright, Boss Kaido is going to talk to us." These pirates were a little happy.

The great battle lasted for a long time and finally stopped. The giant beast was finally defeated by Kaido and collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

Kaido returned to his camp. "Meat? Wine? Prepare it all quickly." "Yes, boss." Seeing Kaido return, everyone went to prepare food. This was a hidden island, inhabited by terrifying creatures. Kaido had been fighting that monster before.

He drank wine heartily, the liquid flowing down his neck from the corners of his mouth. He grabbed a roasted leg with his large hand and took a bite directly.

"Lord Kaido, there's important information here, regarding the Kate Kingdom. Because you were still fighting before, we didn't notify you." A pirate came to his side, holding a Den Den Mushi.

"Kate Kingdom? Is that the pet kingdom? The king of that country can control beasts." Kaido was stunned for a moment, then he remembered. He had a slight impression of this country and had sent a small group of people to keep an eye on it. If it weren't for this, he would have almost forgotten about it.

"Hello! What important matter is it?" Here in the Kate Kingdom, the Den Den Mushi rang. The tone and demeanor could be imitated in real-time, it was a very magical item. Kaido's voice came from inside.

"It finally connected. Lord Kaido finally answered the Den Den Mushi." Seeing the Den Den Mushi ring, they shouted excitedly. Heaven knows how long they had waited. From the moment they received the news in the morning, they immediately returned to this small base. After reporting, they had been sitting here waiting for Lord Kaido to answer the Den Den Mushi. To not miss the call, they hadn't even eaten a meal until now. Looking outside, the sky had already begun to darken.

Meanwhile, in the inn, Teach, who had been watching them, breathed a sigh of relief. He had been monitoring them with Observation Haki the whole time. He hadn't expected Kaido to take so long to receive the message and couldn't help but mutter, "This Kaido, so unreliable."

Hearing the cheers and excitement from the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Kaido's expression stiffened, feeling a bit embarrassed. He turned his head and asked, "When did this Den Den Mushi call?"

"Uh, Lord Kaido, it called this morning while you were still fighting," the pirate said, unable to suppress a chuckle.

"Alright, everyone be quiet. I need to deliver this important message," the leading pirate said, wiping away his excited tears, and sternly told everyone to calm down.

"Lord Kaido, after our observation, the King of the Kate Kingdom is extremely dangerous, especially to us Beasts Pirates. King Kate uses his ability to control an entire Beast Island and has a powerful beast army," he said, combining the intelligence he had gathered over the years with what Teach had told them earlier.

"There's also a piece of uncertain information, but it's even more important. King Kate's ability, Brady, seems to have had a major breakthrough, allowing him to control users of Zoan-type Devil Fruits. According to internal palace information, the Kate Kingdom seems to have already set its sights on you, Lord Kaido." He didn't state it definitively, using the word "uncertain," but the possibility was very high.

"Hmm?" Kaido's eyes widened instantly. He crushed the wine glass in his hand. What was said was indeed very disadvantageous to the Beasts Pirates, because almost all the ability users in the Beasts Pirates were Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, including Kaido himself. His goal was to build an army composed entirely of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. This was an absolute antagonistic relationship. The King of the Kate Kingdom was blocking Kaido's path.

This was also Teach's idea. This natural antagonistic relationship was what Teach wanted to instigate. Only one of these two sides could exist; one had to be eliminated, and that side was the royal family of the Kate Kingdom.

"Is there any more news?" Kaido calmed down and continued to ask.

He paused. It seemed there was something very crucial, but he had forgotten. "Hey, the creation, the creation," a pirate beside him reminded him.

"Right, the creation. It seems that when taming a wild beast, there's a creation. As long as you eat that thing, you'll be controlled by the King of Kate," he said earnestly.

"Okay, I know. I'll be there soon." Kaido nodded after hearing this and hung up the Den Den Mushi. "Boss Kaido, are we departing? To that Kate Kingdom." a pirate asked. He was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. He hadn't expected such a terrifying ability and felt some unease. Such a person had to be dealt with.

"No need. I'll go alone. You all guard our territory." Kaido wasn't stupid. After learning the intelligence about the Kate Kingdom, a beast army was not something his subordinates could stop. Although his strength was great, his subordinates were not. Although he had subdued many pirates with his powerful strength, there were no strong individuals who could stand on their own. Some were still in the process of growth. He didn't want to become a lone figure and lose the subordinates he had painstakingly recruited.

At the same time, he had an urgent thought: he must find powerful subordinates.

Kate Kingdom. "Did you hear? Lord Kaido is coming. So happy." These members of the Beasts Pirates hadn't seen Kaido in a long time.

In the inn, Teach smiled and continued to train. His plan was a success.

And in the royal palace, King Brady frowned, feeling a shadow cast over him, a sense of foreboding.

After eating and drinking his fill, Kaido, with the "Heaven" gourd hanging from his waist, wiped his mouth. "Tell me the location of the Kate Kingdom."

"Understood." A pirate standing nearby had already prepared a sea chart. He pointed out their current location, then indicated the position of Pet Island. After a brief calculation, he said, "Boss Kaido, you just need to fly in this direction."

Kaido, having been an intern pirate in the past, could naturally read a sea chart; he wasn't directionally challenged.

He snatched the sea chart, and immediately, Kaido's body underwent a transformation. It turned blue, and blue scales grew on his body. He was undergoing beastification. In a short while, he had become a divine dragon hundreds of meters long, flying directly into the sky. He looked at the sea chart and flew towards Pet Island.

His speed was incredible. His massive body plunged into the clouds. Within the thick clouds brewed great terror. The moment he appeared, powerful lightning erupted instantly, but the lightning within the clouds didn't harm him in the slightest.

Mobius sighed helplessly and turned to look at Teach, who was training. However, Teach paid no attention to his gaze, completely ignoring him.

He could only sigh and continue the task Teach had assigned him. Neferpitou sat in front of Mobius, looking quite interested, her eyes sparkling.

That's right, Mobius was teaching Pito to speak. Pito couldn't speak, but Mobius had some experience. He had taught young children to speak and read. Seeing Teach troubled by teaching Pito, he casually offered a suggestion, and was immediately roped in by Teach to help. This task was handed over to him.

He regretted his big mouth. Why hadn't he just kept training quietly? However, Pito was learning quickly and had an excellent memory. In a short time, she could already speak some simple phrases. In Teach's words, if she could understand human speech, then learning a language wouldn't be difficult.

Teach wasn't without his own tasks, though. He also spent some time teaching Pito to walk and stand. However, changing this habit would take time. Fortunately, Pito was still young and highly adaptable. She could quickly master what Teach and the others taught her, and could even endure pain.
