His Expression Turned Extremely Ugly

Surprisingly, Kaido did not die! No matter what extreme punishments the Navy inflicted on him, they could not kill him. When hanged, the chains were easily broken by him; on the guillotine, the incredibly hard blade shattered instantly before him; even spear thrusts could not penetrate his impenetrable defense.

Not only that, the Navy tried almost every possible means—fire, lightning, water, even poison—but the result was always the same— Kaido remained unharmed. It's no exaggeration to say that, to date, there are indeed people capable of defeating Kaido, but unfortunately, no one has been able to truly kill him. Even Whitebeard, whose strength was terrifying, failed to accomplish this feat. This is the fundamental reason why Kaido has repeatedly attempted suicide but has never succeeded.

Now that he knew he couldn't die easily, Kaido had no reason to be afraid no matter how recklessly he acted or how desperately he tried to court death. At this very moment, Kaido finally understood the profound helplessness and frustration felt by his former adversaries.

In the heat of battle, despite having a clear advantage in strength, no matter how hard one tries, one cannot break through the opponent's rock-solid defense. This profound sense of powerlessness, like being blocked by an invisible high wall, leaves one feeling utterly frustrated and hopeless.

In the end, the contest often devolves into a pure war of attrition, a test of endurance where the one with greater stamina can hold out until the very last moment. However, the man confronting Kaido at this moment is clearly no ordinary opponent, for like Kaido, he has consumed one of the most powerful Mythical Zoan -Mythical Zoan Fruit. For such powerful beings, stamina is never an issue, making this contest even more unpredictable and difficult to predict.

Should they continue fighting? A sense of powerlessness welled up inside him, as if all his strength had been exhausted in this fierce battle. After all, both sides had successfully broken through each other's defenses, and continuing like this seemed to lead to nothing more than mutual destruction.

Moke shared the same thought: if they continued fighting, not only would they fail to determine a winner, but they might also develop a strange "bromance" between them. The two stared at each other, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. Everything around them became blurry, and only the other's figure was clearly visible.

An awkward atmosphere hung between the two, like a thick fog that made it hard to breathe. Finally, Kaido broke the suffocating silence. "Release my men." His voice was deep and firm, revealing an undeniable authority.

Moke remained silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons in his mind. After a while, he finally made up his mind, Moke, and then slowly opened his mouth, saying in a slightly teasing tone, "Alright, I can agree to your request, I can even release Jack. However, I have a small condition, you'd better listen carefully."

Upon hearing this, Kaido's heart tightened. He secretly wondered what conditions Moke might propose next. However, despite his inner unease, he maintained a calm demeanor and simply replied, "Speak."

Kaido knew very well that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him. He had to respond decisively to Moke's request, without the slightest hesitation. Just then, Moke's lips curled into a subtle, enigmatic smile. He said slowly, "I heard you have a daughter named Yamato, right?"

These words struck Kaido like an Inazuma across the night sky, instantly hitting his heart. His expression turned extremely grave in an instant, his already furrowed brows tightening even more, his eyes filled with wariness and hostility. He stared intently at Moke, as if trying to see through his eyes to his very soul, and demanded sharply, "What exactly do you mean?"

Kaido's voice carried a hint of anger and unease. He couldn't imagine how Moke would use his daughter to achieve his goals. Yamato was his precious darling, his only family in the world, and he would never allow anyone to harm her.

Seeing this, Moke's heart tightened, but he still tried to remain calm and quickly waved his hand to explain, "Oh dear, don't misunderstand! Look, neither of us can do anything to the other, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us. In that case, how about we have a marriage alliance? That way, we can not only resolve our conflicts but also make our power even stronger!"

After saying that, Moke seemed to think it wasn't enough, and shamelessly added, "How about we become father-in-law and son-in-law!"

These words struck Kaido like a bolt from the blue, leaving him speechless. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Moke, his face contorted as if he'd been slapped hard. After a long pause, Kaido finally came to his senses, his voice trembling with rage. "You... what did you say? You want me to be your son-in-law? Are you insane?"

Kaido stared wide-eyed at Moke in disbelief, as if he were witnessing the most incredible thing in the world. He had spent his entire life sailing the seas; what kind of people hadn't he seen? Let alone shameless individuals, he could face even the most notorious and wicked villains with equanimity.

However, he had never encountered anyone as shameless as Moke before. Just moments ago, they had fought to the death, and now Moke had the audacity to propose to be his son-in-law and marry his daughter? This was an utter insult to him!

Kaido's anger flared instantly. He really wanted to punch Moke's hateful face and teach him a lesson about the power of the unmatched. However, after careful consideration, he realized that the suggestion might actually be somewhat feasible.

First, judging from their ages, this guy isn't much younger than his daughter, so there shouldn't be a significant generation gap. Second, like his daughter, this guy is a rare genius, possessing top-tier strength at such a young age. Perhaps such a combination would truly be a match made in heaven!

Thinking this, Kaido's anger subsided slightly, but he still found the suggestion somewhat absurd. After all, they had just gone through a fierce battle, and their relationship was practically irreconcilable. Moreover, he didn't know much about Moke; how could he casually marry his daughter to him?

Third, if they were to actually join forces, the consequences would be unimaginable. Whitebeard's status as the undisputed ruler would likely be relinquished, and the road to Laugh Tale would be as clear as if it were open to them.

Fourth, what if they disagree? Judging from this kid's past behavior, probably none of his crew members will leave here alive. However, despite this, when he looked at Moke's face, he couldn't suppress his anger and just wanted to rush up and punch him twice.

"Great Vajra Thunder Bagua!" Sure enough, Kaido, that hot-tempered guy, finally couldn't hold back. He wrapped his Conqueror's Haki around the huge iron rod like a surging wave, gripped it tightly with both hands, and then swung it at Moke with lightning speed.

This move is one of Kaido's techniques named after the Four Great Kings, and it's an enhanced version of Thunder Bagua. The Inazuma, condensed to its extreme, is as powerful as a nuclear explosion. Once it hits an opponent, it will create a huge mushroom cloud. Its power is definitely the most powerful of all of Kaido's techniques.
