Kaido's Son

"A dog? Krell, you must be joking!" Kaido, not believing Krell's nonsense at all.

"Ahem! Governor, we didn't tell you about this because we were afraid you'd be angry. The Night Pirates do have a dog that can transform into Black Dragon, but it's probably a wolf."

"This is also something we recently discovered."

King of Flames said seriously, turning his head to look at Queen beside him.

Queen then took out a small, exquisite Den Den Mushi and projected several photos onto the screen.

A black wolf the size of a house, with a pair of horns on its head.

Next was a picture of a Black Dragon. Due to the angle, it wasn't very clear, but technology was used to make it visible.

This is a black dragon similar to Kaido's fully transformed beast form, but it may be a size smaller.

Upon seeing this, Kaido was completely stunned. "This is the wolf in disguise?"

Looking at this Black Dragon, it's very similar to his beast form, except that his head looks a bit like a wolf.

But why does this wolf have horns on its head?

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this? The Night Pirates would actually feed it to a pet. And what's with the horns on this wolf's head? Does it also have demon blood? Is it an experimental subject?"

Kaido filled with confusion; the horns on this wolf's head weren't dragon horns, but rather resembled those of an oni (demon).

"We had a small meeting about this wolf before. This is a picture of the wolf from before it grew horns, so we can rule out the possibility that it was an experiment. Even Vegapunk couldn't give a wolf demon blood out of thin air, unless it was during the fetal stage."

Queen shook his head and pulled up another photo, showing Peter before he ate the Devil Fruit.

It was smaller in size, with significant changes from front to back, becoming stronger and more ferocious.

"This confirms that it must have grown after it ate the Devil Fruit."

"How is that possible? Could there really be a dragon with demon blood in this world? Such Devil Fruit simply doesn't exist."

As Kaido said, a dragon is a dragon, and an oni is an oni; there can be no hybridization.

Kaido prefers to believe it's a man-made dragon incorporating Oni bloodline, which then ate the Wolf-Wolf Fruit.

There are many kinds of Dragon Fruit, but only a handful are considered Dragon-Dragon Fruit. As far as Kaido knows, there is only one: the Yinglong Fruit.

Moreover, the Human-Human Fruit related to the Oni race, specifically the one in Half-Demon form, has already been eaten by Ares.

Yamato was curious, and the other officers remained silent, also wanting to know what was going on.

Wolves, demons, dragons—removing any one of them makes sense. After all, the pirate crew has Queen, a great scientist, so they've been exposed to this kind of knowledge.

Knowing the truth, Queen and Krell looked at their governor with some strangeness.

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie.

"Governor, there is indeed a being on the high seas that possesses both dragon and demon genes."

"Who is it?" Kaido felt a sense of foreboding as he faced that gaze.

"You idiot old devil, isn't that you yourself?" Yamato what was happening, pointed at Kaido with a bright smile.

Kaido's eyes narrowed; he was completely taken aback. Judging from the expressions of Krell and the others, this wolf might be related to him.

"Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?" Kaido calmed down and looked at Krell and the other two, speaking in a deep voice.

They exchanged a glance, and Krell stepped forward.

"Let me tell you, Governor. Based on our speculation, this wolf most likely ate Artificial Devil Fruit created from your Lineage Factor."

"Governor, you've been captured by the World Government multiple times, Artificial Devil Fruit it's quite normal for them to use your Lineage Factor to create artificial Devil Fruits. Our investigation revealed that the World Government still has a batch of failed attempts left over, all of which Doflamingo gave to the Night Pirates."

"This is very likely the genuine article that unexpectedly succeeded among these failed attempts."

"As for why this happened, we can only call it a miracle, a product of an accident."

Queen, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement. In his opinion, it would be difficult to create Artificial Devil Fruit when the technology was not mature enough, especially since it was using Kaido's Lineage Factor.

He began to respond to Krell's words.

"We later found a hair and saliva sample from this wolf, and compared the genetic information with yours, Governor." As he spoke, a fanatical glint flashed in Queen's eyes.

"We've discovered that this wolf shares 80% of its genes with you, Governor, confirming this fact."

"This wolf not only possesses your abilities, Governor, but also your bloodline—the blood of the Ghost Clan. You could say it is your child."

"Get lost." Before he could finish speaking, Kaido couldn't take it anymore. He pulled out a spiked club from somewhere and smashed it into Queen's body.

Queen's entire body flew out, crashing through walls and leaving large holes in them.

Krell breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat thankful that Queen had picked up on his words; otherwise, he might have been the one to suffer the blow.

"Krell, continue." Kaido put down his spiked club, but his sudden attack startled the other members.

However, he understood in his heart. He had just been shocked to learn that his governor had suddenly gained a son, and this son turned out to be a wolf.

Krell took a deep breath, and under the gazes of the others, said, "In terms of ability, it probably can't compare to you, Governor, after all, it's man-made. But it contains your Lineage Factor, inheriting your genes, and to a certain extent, your potential and physique. That's what makes this Devil Fruit terrifying."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the second governor, after all, he's completely derived from your genes, governor, and that can't be changed. You have to accept that, governor."

"Fortunately, this Devil Fruit must be unique, otherwise the Night Pirates wouldn't have given it to a pet."

"But it also means that the Night Pirates are much faster than us in their research on Artificial Devil Fruit. After all, they have a real finished product to study, and they also know the special characteristics of this Artificial Devil Fruit."

"If you were to give it to someone else, then Governor-General, you would truly have another son, one who is even closer to you in blood than Princess Yamato."

Silence fell over the surroundings. Some mourned for their governor; no one would feel good knowing what had happened—an extra son, and a wolf at that, for no reason at all.

If he belongs to the Beasts Pirates, that's fine. It would help strengthen the Beasts Pirates. Kaido would definitely not mind adopting a godson, or even his biological son. After all, with his thick skin, he doesn't care about such things.

The problem is that this belongs to the Night Pirates.

"Eh!" Yamato was the most shocked. She couldn't believe that she suddenly had a wolf who might be her younger brother. It was too surreal.

She didn't say much. She could accept this kind of thing, after all, it was a wolf. If it were really a human, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Getting back to the main point, Governor, are you sure you still want to make a movie? The Twin Dragon Battle won't do, but the battle against Ares is fine too; we just need to add more plot details."

"Hmph! Why wouldn't I agree? I want them all! Quickly pass this message on to the Dark Night Pirates. They already have experience; if they can send someone to film it, the chances of success will definitely be much higher."

Kaido is only unable to accept it for the time being; what he values most is his own interests, and he simply ignores everything else.

Kaido has decided to film it himself for the sake of his own development, so what's unacceptable about that?

"I don't think there's any problem with the Twin Dragon Battle. The wolf's language, post-production subtitles, and voice acting can all be added, if the Night Pirates cooperate."

"But Ares probably won't cooperate with us; he doesn't care about these things." Krell knew a bit about Ares, a true monster, having fought his governor in secret battles with the Night Pirates ' "Fierce God" Ares multiple times.

Why would I possibly make something as boring as a movie?

"What's the big deal? We can just secretly film it and then do the production ourselves. Didn't you say you could add voiceovers?" Kaido didn't think much of this and was already considering secretly filming.

I have to say, this is so Kaido!

The main selling point is the battle between Kaido and Ares.

"OK."

Teach was stunned when he heard the news from the Beasts Pirates. He hadn't expected that the Beasts Pirates would invite the Night Pirates to collaborate on a movie.

Not only Kaido of the Beasts himself star in the film, but he also specifically borrowed Peter from the Night Pirates as another lead actor.

Twin Dragon Battle sounds intriguing, but Teach can't help but wonder if the Beasts Pirates have some ulterior motive, such as targeting Peter.

After all, Peter ate the strongest Artificial Devil Fruit, which was based on Kaido's Lineage Factor.

Originally Otto's pet, with a body modified by Otto, it is an important member of the Night Pirates.

After careful consideration, it seemed unnecessary for the Beasts Pirates to clash with them, as it would not benefit them. It had only been a few months since the Night Pirates had demonstrated their power.

The Beasts Pirates are no match for the Night Pirates; in the end, they will only suffer the consequences.

Therefore, the Beasts Pirates' goal should be relatively simple: to make a movie and earn Beli, and they may also have the idea of obtaining information about Peter.

Teach did not refuse and directly asked Mostima to make the arrangements.

However, it's rather shameful for Kaido, Sea Emperor, to be willing to become an actor for money.

The cooperation between the two forces began quickly, with filming taking place at the border between the two factions.

The majority of the manpower was dispatched by the Night Pirates. Long before the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Night Pirates had already accumulated and trained a group of professionals.

Some people are still idle, and now they can come in handy.

The Beasts Pirates also dispatched a considerable number of people; they were also searching for actors, especially directors.

After a period of discussion, the first installment of the "Twin Dragon Battle was ultimately titled "Double Dragons Showdown".

They had a very clever plan; after learning from the experience of the first phase, they could do it themselves.

Similarly, someone else found the Night Pirates, which is the Big Mom Pirates. Compared to the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates have more funds and don't have such a large investment. They also have more ways to obtain funds than the Beasts Pirates.

But that doesn't mean they don't enjoy movies.

Two hundred and four hundred billion a month—anyone can see how terrifying the profits involved are. In a while, it will be comparable to the World Government's annual Heavenly Gold.

No one would complain about having too little Beli, and neither would Big Mom.

She had no intention of collaborating with the Night Pirates; the message she was sending was simply to borrow people—some crew members for filming and producing a movie.

Beli was secondary; Big Mom's main interest was in film, and she even wrote a script herself, a story about a dessert competition to see who could eat the most desserts.

The script was very simple, and it had been revised by others, probably with the help of her children.

One glance at the script revealed its utter boredom; I knew it was destined to flop.

But as long as she's happy.

The film company controlled by the Night Pirates also took advantage of this momentum and formulated a series of filming plans, the most important of which was the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

There are various other stories, all aimed at dominating the entire film industry market and making the world's wealth flow into their own pockets.

One of the more noteworthy projects is Germa Kingdom, which collaborated with a director and starred in a film about Germa 66.

This is a popular comic story in Beihai, and it has many fans there.

If the auction is successful, it will also be of great benefit to the Germa Kingdom. The Night Pirates have provided a considerable amount of research funding, and they will need even more funds to research what they want.

Besides them, many other forces also began to take action, having witnessed the money-making power of movie theaters. A large number of movie theaters, screening rooms, and big screens began to be built, creating a bustling scene.

The World Government have all begun construction in secret, thinking that once it's completed, they can simply wait to collect the money.

At the same time, a large number of film and television companies began to be established, recruiting actors, searching for and writing scripts, and announcing the production of films.

These people all wanted to ride this wave and make a fortune.

How long will this wind blow? A very long time. The sea seemed to calm down, but the discussions about Pirates of the Caribbean never ceased.

Everyone has their favorite characters, especially pirates. Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, two pirates with different styles, have sparked heated discussions.

News of disputes arising from differing opinions is commonplace around the world, resulting in the destruction of countless pubs.

For about two months, Pirates of the Caribbean remained incredibly popular. Although it no longer enjoyed the same packed theaters, many people watched it repeatedly, over and over again.

It is foreseeable that this situation will continue for some time, because Pirates of the Caribbean will continue to make money for various movie theaters, so they will not remove it.

Besides, there were no competitors at all.

The islands with cinemas saw a surge in population and economic development during this period, which is a major reason why many places built movie theaters.

The spectacle was far more spectacular than Teach had imagined, which is why many people couldn't afford to see it.

Thanks to its strong infrastructure capabilities, some cinemas were among the first to be built and opened for business during this period, introducing the first Pirates of the Caribbean.

The daily box office figures actually continued to rise.

The true total box office revenue is difficult to calculate; others can only guess. Only the Night Pirates know the true box office figures and the profits they have made.

Some cinemas within the kingdom are still packed to capacity; the allure of movies is greater than imagined.

Even various media outlets and newspapers are proclaiming the arrival of a new era, just as it did after the birth of film.

But movies are merely for entertainment; their impact cannot compare to that of film. Film has truly influenced, and even changed, the entire world.

If things go as expected, the final box office will exceed one trillion Beli, which means 100 million people will watch it, and that's a conservative estimate.

Just like videos, movies can be pirated.

However, for the time being, no one dared to risk offending the Night Pirates and cause trouble. As time went on, even Teach was unable to stop them.

At that time, Pirates of the Caribbean will be taken off the shelves and can be watched directly through Transponder Snail).

Another major event is taking place on the Grand Line: the warships of the West Blue Alliance are about to sail to the Marine Headquarters.

By this point, Serizawa and his group had visited every country along the Grand Line except for the World Government, and had also discussed a series of collaborations.

Even after they left, the cooperation between the West Blue Alliance and them had already begun, and now merchant ships travel between the West Blue Grand Line Sea.

However, it wasn't through the Reverse Mountain, but rather the Red Line. The West Blue Alliance, possessing sufficient manpower, resources, and powerful individuals, carved a tunnel from the Red Line connecting the West Blue to the Grand Line.

The exchange between the two forces has attracted much attention, with some even hoping for a conflict between them.

The West Blue Alliance is a behemoth on the high seas these days. I wonder how the navy should deal with it?

There's no way they'll cooperate.
