Hero Kaido

"Quick, quick, get closer, turn the camera to that man, get closer!" Morgans shouted loudly, directing the reporter bird. He had a premonition that this was going to be big news, and he even had tomorrow's headline in mind: "Great Pirate Kaido Becomes a Hero?"

The screen zoomed in, gradually clearing. It showed a very handsome man in a white coat, holding a child in his arms. Outside the royal city, in the civilian gathering area, all the residents were watching the big screen. A woman who looked very young recognized the man at a glance and couldn't help but cover her mouth in disbelief.

"Clarence! And Krell!" the woman exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes. Although Krell had grown a lot, his eyes and familiar hair color made her recognize him instantly.

"Maria, what's wrong?" a woman beside her asked. Seeing Maria so agitated, some of the surrounding people were her neighbors, but most were other residents of the royal city.

"That's Clarence!" the young woman cried out. She was too emotional. Her husband, who had left to find their lost child, had disappeared without a trace. She had waited for nearly ten years and was about to give up, thinking he was dead. She never expected him to appear at such a crucial moment, bringing back their child, Krell.

"Clarence, isn't that your deceased husband? How is he alive?" The neighbors around were very surprised. They knew a little about Maria's situation. Maria's husband, Clarence, had died in an accident, and they had even attended his funeral. Many people remembered Clarence; he was a well-known doctor in that area and had a gentle temper.

At this point, she no longer intended to hide it and revealed the truth: "To find the missing Krell, Clarence faked his death and changed his identity. I lost contact with him nine years ago. I never expected, never expected he was still alive and had brought back the missing Krell."

Many people heard Maria's words, including families who had lost their own children. The disappearance of young children in the royal city was very common, but now, everyone felt something was wrong; this was problematic.

Meanwhile, Clarence began his speech, starting with his own story and then detailing the kingdom's sins with more precision. "The evil deeds that have been hidden among the nobles and high-ranking officials of this kingdom for a hundred years. In this country, known as the Pet Kingdom, people are raised as pets. 'Human pets' are not slaves; slaves are still human, but 'human pets' aren't even human. They steal unsuspecting children and raise them like pets, playing with them, eating their food, and finally raising them to satisfy the desires of those nobles – pets that only look human, pets without humanity. This is the hidden truth of the evil among the kingdom's nobles, and the truth behind the child disappearances." Clarence said, tears streaming down his face.

Everyone's hearts were filled with shock. They never imagined that such world-shattering evil was hidden within this powerful nation. It was more infuriating than slavery, as slavery was merely the domination of the weak by the strong, its evil primarily manifested in the vast slave trade markets. But these "human pets" were something utterly inhumane.

Krell slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground. Then, he landed on all fours like a pet, looking around curiously. Clarence picked him up from the ground. This scene appeared before everyone's eyes. "As you can see, Krell has been raised as a fox and can't even speak now. There are many children like him in this kingdom." Saying this, he turned his head to look behind him.

The reporter bird flew up, its lens focusing on the man's rear. What a scene! Hundreds of children were running around in this place, rolling on the ground like pets, playing. The marks of those pets seemed visible on them. Behind the cuteness, deep evil, blood, and tears were hidden.

Then, Clarence looked at Kaido. "Lord Kaido, thank you for saving this country, eliminating all the nobles and their lackeys in this kingdom, and liberating these children." Clarence said gratefully, "You are the hero of this country."

Kaido was even more confused. He had just come to kill someone; how had he become the hero of this country and killed all the nobles and liberated these children? He had been fighting here the whole time; he hadn't done anything else.

Not only Kaido but also those watching the live broadcast were very confused. They had been watching Kaido's battle the whole time and didn't know about this.

After thinking for a moment, Kaido asked loudly, "How did you know it was me?" He had to understand this matter clearly, or he wouldn't feel at ease.

"Your subordinates told me," Clarence said. "They were wearing masks, so I don't know what they looked like. It won't expose their identities."

My subordinates? Kaido thought, and waved to the members of the Beasts Pirates watching them from not far away. Seeing their captain waving, they all ran over to Kaido.

"Captain, what are your orders?" a pirate at the front asked. "Are there any other of our people on this island?" Kaido asked. "No, they are all here."

Kaido felt something was wrong. "Where did you hear the news that this kingdom's king has the ability to control Devil Fruit users?" "It seems like a drunkard accidentally spilled a bottle of wine on me, and as compensation, he told me the news. However, after getting the information, we couldn't find him." Jerry, who had wine spilled on him by Teach, thought back.

"Idiot." Kaido heard this and understood everything. He had been used. He slapped Jerry, the pirate, sending him flying. No wonder he felt so strange. The King, Brady, had not displayed the ability to control Zoan Devil Fruit users during the fight, yet he had always been wary of Brady's potential. It turned out to be fake.

This was a live broadcast, and their conversation was heard by many people. Most didn't understand, but some smart people could see that Kaido had been manipulated. False information had been used to lure Kaido, provoking a war between Kaido and the Kate Kingdom. In secret, all the nobles of this kingdom had been slaughtered, and the credit was given to the Kaido who had been used. The trigger should have been the evil deeds exposed in this country.

However, Kaido was very angry now. Anyone who knew they had been used wouldn't be in a good mood.

"What did my subordinates say?" Kaido gritted his teeth as he uttered those two words, and anyone could see he was angry. Clarence didn't notice; he was already filled with admiration for Kaido, looking at him like a savior. "Um, can I say it here?" Clarence asked, a little uncertain.

"It's fine, go ahead and say it," Kaido said, crossing his arms. In Clarence's eyes, he was full of confidence.

"Okay, they said you were interested in this country's beast-taming techniques, and that they would be very useful to you." Clarence said excitedly, "As the hero who liberated this country from evil, I hope you will protect us. This country no longer has enough strength to resist foreign enemies, Lord Kaido."

Kaido's brow relaxed. Beast-taming techniques, not bad. But his anger hadn't subsided. This was the reward given to him by the person who had manipulated him, but it was clearly not enough. "Anything else?"

"Mhm." Clarence suddenly remembered, almost forgetting. He took off the bag behind his back and opened it. "Inside are three Devil Fruits they gave you. All the wicked nobles in the noble district and their lackeys have been eliminated. There are also hundreds of billions of Belly in wealth left behind, plus the kingdom's hundred-year accumulation. With that, it's at least a trillion Belly in wealth. Please don't forget, Lord Kaido." "He also said we would meet again."

Kaido listened, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. His anger vanished instantly. Without any hesitation, he made a decision. "Then I, Kaido of the Beasts, hereby declare that this island is now my territory. My flag will be planted here, and I will protect the safety of the island's residents. I will never let anyone invade here." Kaido laughed heartily. Although he had been tricked, the gains were too great to be concerned about. He had perfectly inherited the foundation of a great nation without any obstacles, not even mortal nobles, as they had all been eliminated.

And those who saw through the inside story were envious. They wished they could be used like this once. Trillions of Belly in immense wealth had so easily fallen into Kaido's hands.

Hearing Kaido's words, Clarence shouted excitedly, "Hero Kaido!"

"Hero Kaido!" shouted all the residents outside the royal city and in the towns on the kingdom's periphery. Except for a few, everyone believed Kaido was the hero who saved the kingdom. But what if they knew the truth? This kingdom couldn't withstand much turmoil and needed powerful strength to protect it. Kaido was undoubtedly the best candidate. He had successfully displayed his powerful strength in the previous battle. How scared they were before, how reverent they were now.

Who would have thought such a transformation would occur? The Great Pirate Kaido became the Hero Kaido, easily obtaining a territory and enough money to develop, astonishing and envying everyone.

However, wealth moves people's hearts, and many had their eyes on such a huge fortune. Some pirates had already set out. Kaido still had many challenges to complete.

But a few people were more concerned about Teach, who had planned all this. Mysterious and powerful, Kaido was undoubtedly the best candidate for such a plan. Using false information successfully made Kaido believe. If it were someone else, it definitely wouldn't have worked.

One thing was certain: Kaido was about to take off. The Beasts Pirates would rise rapidly.

Marine Headquarters. "I didn't expect such a turn of events. Fate plays tricks on people, and there are many hidden secrets," Staff Officer Tsuru sighed. "Should we investigate the person who used Kaido?" someone asked.

"No need, it will be difficult to find them. There is no information, and we don't have any extra intelligence personnel to send out. Let's leave it for now; they will surface later," Tsuru shook her head.

"Then, should we get involved in the Kate Kingdom?" someone eyed the treasures. "The Beasts Pirates will surely expand rapidly from now on. Should we curb them? It could also supplement our military expenses."

"It's useless. Kaido has already won the hearts of the people of this country. The Marines will be seen as invaders, and we don't have the strength to deal with Kaido," Kong sighed. He naturally coveted the treasures as well. "Many people will be targeting Kaido. Let these pirates kill each other."

Pet Island, Kate Kingdom, Royal Palace Ruins. "Hahahaha!" Kaido laughed excitedly, basking in the cheers under everyone's gaze.

"Are we still fighting?" Garp asked. "No more fighting, let's just walk around the island," Roger smiled. Now, none of them had the desire to fight, not even Kaido.

"Haha, Roger, be careful next time," Garp said with a smile and turned to leave. He saw his cloak lying on the ground, picked it up, shook off the dust, and draped it over his shoulder before leaving with a flourish.

"Garp, I won't let you off so easily next time," Roger retorted, sheathing his sword. Without the will to fight, the members of the Roger Pirates followed behind Roger.

Kaido watched them leave. He wasn't in the mood to fight now. He immediately called his members, telling them to hurry to Pet Island. He wasn't stupid; he knew many people were eyeing the wealth in his hands, and there were still many battles to be completed. Fortunately, Kaido's territory was not far from here, and he could reach it quickly.

West District, the noble district where blood flowed like a river. "Buggy, what are you doing with so much treasure? This is Kaido's treasure. If anyone finds out, they'll teach you a good lesson," said Shanks, a red-haired youth, to Buggy. "There's too much, what's wrong with taking a little? You took just as much treasure as I did," Clown Buggy glanced at Shanks.

Both of them were carrying two large bundles. They had been watching the battle, but suddenly the fighting stopped. Hearing about such evil deeds, and then hearing about hundreds of billions of Belly in treasure, Buggy excitedly dragged Shanks over.

"But it's too terrifying here. Blood everywhere, everyone's dead. Who killed so many people in such a short time?" Buggy said, trembling slightly, still somewhat scared.

"Haha, it's okay, after all, those people are gone," Shanks said, patting Buggy's shoulder to comfort him as he saw how scared he was.

Footsteps sounded, and the smile on Shanks's face quickly disappeared as he looked ahead vigilantly. Four people suddenly walked towards them, three men and one woman. The two in front were like them, carrying a large bundle of treasure. As they walked forward, Shanks and the man in the lead exchanged a glance, and the two groups passed each other.

"Who are those guys?" Buggy asked. "Are they here to steal treasure like us?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling we'll meet them again," Shanks said, shaking his head. The image of Teach flashed through his mind. "I really feel like we'll meet them again."

Meanwhile, "Boss Teach, why do you seem so interested in those two brats just now?" Mobius turned his head and asked Teach.

"They're rookie pirates from the Roger Pirates. And stop calling them brats; you're about the same age, and in terms of strength, they're no weaker than you," Teach said, smiling and glancing at Mobius. "Who knows, they might become big figures in the future."

"I didn't expect them to be members of the Roger Pirates, but I won't be any weaker than them in the future," Mobius said with a smile, full of confidence.

"Haha, ambition is a good thing, so you'd better work hard for it. Their foundation is much stronger than yours. You're still just half-baked," Teach said with a smile.

Hearing Teach's words, Mobius's fighting spirit ignited. After all, he was still just a boy.

The events of today were destined to shake the world. First, Kaido invaded the Kate Kingdom and battled the king in the royal palace. Then, Marine hero Garp and the Roger Pirates appeared, leading to a three-way melee. The fighting stopped at Clarence's call, exposing the sinful acts hidden among the kingdom's nobles. Kaido ultimately emerged as the biggest winner, becoming the kingdom's hero. He was granted a suitable large island as a base, inheriting the kingdom's centennial foundation and all the nobles' legacies.

This series of events was bound to have a profound impact on the world, even changing the situation in the New World.
