Despite Being Wary

"Wrong."

Jinbe's face turned extremely pale. He had only felt feverish before, but now he felt an excruciating pain, as if he were being burned alive. This sudden change made his heart tighten, and the captain's words flashed through his mind. "This guy is skilled at developing biological weapons. Be careful when fighting him!"

However, despite his vigilance, Jinbe still couldn't completely avoid being hit. He couldn't help but regret his carelessness; why hadn't he been more careful?

Just then, Shiryu noticed Jinbe behavior and quickly came over, asking with concern, "Jinbe, what's wrong?" Seeing Jinbe, Jinbe hurriedly waved for him to stay away, anxiously shouting, "Don't come any closer! I think I've been infected by his biological weapon. The captain said that the biological weapons this guy develops usually have terrifying infectiousness."

Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Shiryu as if under a spell, stopping abruptly as if rooted to the spot, not daring to move forward even a fraction. His heart pounded, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes were fixed on Jinbe, and he was secretly worried for him.

However, even just watching from a distance, Shiryu could sense that Jinbe's condition was extremely bad. His face was as pale as paper, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his lips had lost all color; he looked to be in Dark-Dark Fruit pain. Shiryu couldn't help but inwardly groan; he simply couldn't understand what methods Queen had used to make Jinbe so wretched.

Shiryu's gaze fell on Queen again, Queen this time, his eyes were different. His previous contempt for Queen had vanished without a trace, replaced by deep wariness and fear. He finally realized that this seemingly unremarkable fellow was actually cunning and ruthless, definitely not someone to be trifled with.

In Shiryu's eyes, Queen's move was comparable to Magellan's. Magellan's Venom-Venom Devil Fruit Ability struck fear into the hearts of countless people, and Queen's move was clearly similar in effect. Thinking of this, Shiryu's fear of Queen deepened even further.

However, in stark contrast to Shiryu's tension was Queen's smug smile. His gaze slowly swept over Weevil and Shiryu, his smile growing increasingly arrogant, carrying an undisguised contempt and threat. "If you don't want Jinbe to die, you'd better stop immediately. Otherwise, if I die, he definitely won't survive either!"

Upon Shiryu Queen's words, Shiliu cursed inwardly, "Idiot!" However, deep down he was also secretly relieved that Katrin Demi had acquired the Repel-Repel Ability; otherwise, the situation would likely have become extremely difficult.

Just then, Shiryu suddenly turned his head and his gaze fell on Katrin Deme, who had arrived. He said to her expressionlessly, "This guy is yours." Before he finished speaking, he drew Raiu from his hand without hesitation, the whole movement as fast as Inazuma and in one smooth motion.

This sudden turn of events completely stunned Queen. His eyes widened, his face filled with shock and confusion, his mouth agape as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. After a long while, Queen finally came to his senses and stammered, "Hey... what are you doing? Don't you want Jinbe dead?"

Queen had barely finished speaking when he suddenly seemed to realize something, his expression turning grim. He hurriedly added, "You know, this is Mummy I developed! Once this artificial virus infects a human, it causes them to feel feverish all over and suffer unbearable pain!"

The intense heat, like flames, spread rapidly from the struck area, as if to engulf the entire person in a raging inferno. The scorching sensation was like being plunged into boiling magma, causing excruciating pain. As the heat spread, the blood seemed to boil, surging and gushing out of the body.

Imagine Jinbe's body gradually drying out under such torture, like Mummy, losing all life and moisture. Such a death would undoubtedly be extremely painful, and the appearance of the deceased would be unbearable to look at.

However, at this critical moment, Katrin Demi suddenly made her move. With a flick of her sleeve, a powerful force instantly expelled the virus from Jinbe's body. This scene left everyone present stunned, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

Katrin Demi's ability is practically the nemesis of those viruses! Viruses that were once feared are now utterly vulnerable in her presence. This is a huge problem!

Seeing Jinbe had fully recovered, those who had previously been eyeing him with predatory intent swarmed around him again like Sanjuan Wolf. Jinbe's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind. He subconsciously glanced at Katrin Demi, and the fear in his heart intensified.

Just then, a deafening roar resounded. It turned out that Kaido and Moke had collided violently once again. Neither of them seemed to have any intention of backing down, completely disregarding their own safety, putting all their strength into each punch as they slammed into each other.

This fierce battle was brutal, with every punch landing squarely, without any fancy moves. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, their fists clashing and palms whistling, creating an exceptionally intense scene.

However, despite their best efforts, they were unable to break through the opponent's defenses. Every attack was like hitting cotton, easily neutralized.

As time went on, their breathing became more rapid, and sweat began to bead on their foreheads, but neither of them was willing to give in, and they continued to fight with gritted teeth.

Doflamingo was originally Celestial Dragons, but because of his father, he renounced his Celestial Dragons status and wanted to live a normal life in the world of ordinary people. However, Doflamingo didn't like this life; he was used to being waited on hand and foot and being above everyone else.

He wanted to return to the life of Celestial Dragons, but his plan failed and the Celestial Dragons refused to accept him. This forced him to form his own pirate crew, leading him into the underworld, selling weapons, Artificial Devil Fruit, and more. He eventually gained power and seized the kingdom of Dressrosa, becoming a Shichibukai (Shichibukai). Known as "The Clown," he was ultimately defeated by the protagonist Luffy and is now imprisoned on Impel Down.

Why would such an arrogant and conceited person be afraid of Vice Admiral Tsuru?

Doflamingo's father was originally a Celestial Dragons, but later renounced his Celestial Dragons status and the Kingdom of Dressrosa, allowing King Riku to become the Xing of Dressrosa. As a child, because of his Celestial Dragons identity, he was ruthlessly attacked by the villagers in the vicinity, which caused his mother to fall ill and die.

He Awakening Conqueror's Haki, killed his father, and became a pirate, forming a pirate crew known as "Heavenly Yaksha." Later, he used force to reclaim Dressrosa, becoming Shichibukai. He began trading in the underworld, including buying and selling slaves, Artificial Devil Fruit, weapons, and more, earning him the nickname "Clown" among the underworld's inhabitants.

Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, possessed immense strength and was unafraid even when facing Marine Admiral like Aokiji and Fujitora.

1. On the Destiny Island, the time when Law obtained the Op-Op Fruit with Corazon's help, Doflamingo saw Vice Admiral Tsuru's flag and immediately said "Damn it!" before turning and leaving. Why did a man who wasn't afraid of Admiral Fujitora and Aokiji run away when he saw Vice Admiral Tsuru.

2. Before the Summit War, the Navy convened a meeting of the Shichibukai. Doflamingo used the String-String Fruit's power to manipulate two Marines into fighting each other. Vice Admiral Tsuru's simple words, "Good boy," stopped him, and he obediently followed Vice Admiral Tsuru orders. He readily admitted, "Ms. O-Tsuru, I am truly no match for you." Why didn't he dare to fight Vice Admiral Fujitora when he dared to clash with Vice Admiral Tsuru? Because he feared Vice Admiral Tsuru.

3. When Doflamingo was arrested, Vice Admiral Tsuru went to visit him and wanted to know some things. At this time, Doflamingo addressed Vice Admiral Tsuru as Ms. O-Tsuru, which shows that Doflamingo feared and respected Ms. O-Tsuru.

First, O-Tsuru is strong. Doflamingo must have witnessed Tsuru's strength, especially the abnormal ability of the Wash-Wash Fruit, which is said to be able to cleanse people's minds. Doflamingo is evil at heart, and he is terrified of being brainwashed by O-Tsuru, let alone having his mind cleansed.

Secondly, Vice Admiral Tsuru has been relentlessly pursuing Doflamingo. Doflamingo was hunted by O-Tsuru when he was young, Doflamingo would run away as soon as he saw O-Tsuru's ship, saying that O-Tsuru was a troublesome person. Doflamingo became Shichibukai, he was a member of the Navy, Doflamingo no longer worried about being hunted by O-Tsuru. No matter the occasion, as long as Vice Admiral Tsuru was around, Doflamingo would not dare to act recklessly and would be absolutely obedient to Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Third, you never know which big shot might be hitching a ride on Vice Admiral Tsuru's ship. It could be the Garp the Hero, or Sengoku. Garp, Garp, O-Tsuru Sengoku a very good relationship, and Garp likes to hitch a ride on O-Tsuru's ship. Doflamingo has this kind of information. If he encounters Garp or Sengoku, Doflamingo is doomed.

On the Destiny Island, when Law had just obtained the Devil Fruit, Doflamingo saw Tsuru's fleet and said, "Damn it," before turning and leaving. The fearless Doflamingo ran away upon seeing Tsuru, showing his deep fear of her.

Before the Summit War, the Navy convened a meeting of the Shichibukai. Doflamingo manipulated two Marines into fighting each other, but Tsuru's simple statement, "You're a good boy," stopped Doflamingo, who showed great respect for her. He directly admitted, "Ms. Tsuru, I am truly no match for you." He dared to confront Admiral Fujitora but dared not resist Tsuru.

When Doflamingo was captured, Tsuru went to see him and wanted to find out what was going on. At this time, Doflamingo used a respectful term for Vice Admiral Tsuru, calling her "Ms. O-Tsuru," which shows Doflamingo's respect for her.

But why is Doflamingo so afraid of cranes? There are several reasons.

In terms of strength, Tsuru is from the same era Sengoku Garp and Garp, both serving in the Navy. She is the Navy's Chief of Staff, holding a very high position. During the Summit War, Garp said she shouldn't have come and should have stayed in the back for tea, indicating that Vice Admiral Tsuru is highly regarded by Garp and Sengoku. After all, they formed a small team together when they were young, and she was a very elegant and beautiful woman in her youth, with strong individual abilities and a powerful background.

Ability Counter: Vice Admiral Tsuru's ability is the Wash-Wash Fruit, which allows her to wash everything like clothes and then hang it up. Doflamingo's ability is to turn objects into threads and then harden them. If he encounters Tsuru, his threads might soften and become harmless. However, Tsuru's specific abilities are not detailed. Someone with such a background and strength would definitely not have such a weak Devil Fruit Ability.

The two were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but for some reason, Moke suddenly became impatient. He had a "you're not very sensible" expression on his face, seemingly dissatisfied with Kaido's reaction.

Seeing Kaido's anger flared even more. He thought to himself, "This guy actually dares to lay a finger on my daughter, and he still expects me to stay calm? He's dreaming!" So, Kaido unconsciously increased the pressure on his hand.

At the same time, Moke was equally unyielding, slashing out with his own blade as well, heading straight for Kaido's spiked club.

With a deafening roar, their weapons collided violently, producing a thunderous sound. The power of this strike was immense, as if the entire world trembled.

Surprisingly, despite both of them exerting their full strength, they were ultimately locked in a stalemate. When the recoil forced them back, it was discovered that Moke had taken a few steps back.

But what could he do? Although Moke was at a disadvantage in this round, he showed no sign of backing down. He gripped his sword tightly, his eyes fixed on Kaido, as if to say, "I haven't lost yet!"

Just then, a strange change began to occur in Moke. A faint light emanated from his body, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped his entire being.

"Holy Sword State!" Moke uttered softly, his voice low but powerful.

This was the first time he had entered the Holy Sword State while in Hybrid Form; in this state, his power would surge once again...

Then, Moke's Shusui slashed out like Inazuma, its speed as fast as the wind and its momentum as powerful as thunder.

"What is this?" Kaido was startled. He clearly sensed a huge change in Moke's aura. Just a moment ago, Moke was slightly inferior to him, but now, Moke's strength was completely on par with his.

Kaido's pupils involuntarily contracted sharply. He never expected that this kid, with whom he had fought fiercely for so long, would actually be hiding such a powerful trump card.

Of course, this doesn't mean Kaido is afraid. He is Kaido of the Beasts, who has roamed the seas for many years. What kind of powerful enemy hasn't he seen? It's just that the situation, which was originally in his favor, has now turned into a draw, which is somewhat unexpected for him.

However, whether he was slightly stronger or Moke was slightly stronger, neither could change the current stalemate. Unless one of them could inflict substantial damage on the other's powerful body, the battle would continue indefinitely, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Kaido stared intently at Moke, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding air grew heavy. After a long while, Kaido slowly spoke, "You are the second person to give this old man such a headache."

His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word contained boundless authority. Upon hearing this, Moke's lips curled into a faint smile. His gaze met Kaido's, meeting his eyes without flinching, and he said softly, "Is the first one Red-Hair?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido smiled slightly. His laughter revealed an appreciation for Moke and curiosity about Red-Hair. "I really want to see what it would be like if you two fought," Kaido muttered to himself, as if he could already picture the intense battle in his mind.

After saying that, Kaido's eyes involuntarily flickered, and his expression turned somewhat wicked. He seemed eager to see Red-Hair' expression during his fight with Moke, to see just how shocked and helpless he would be.

Moke, on the other hand, wore a hint of anticipation and a mischievous smile. He was clearly very interested in fighting Red-Hair, even somewhat impatient. "I'm quite looking forward to fighting him," Moke said casually, his tone revealing a strong sense of confidence.

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say: he hoped to find an opportunity to get Red-Hair him face. That feeling would definitely make him feel incredibly satisfied!

Kaido stopped arguing and stared intently at Moke. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Come to Onigashima in a while and meet with Yamato." His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable air of command.

Upon hearing this, Moke's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he was struggling to contain his emotions. After reaching an agreement with Kaido, Moke decisively returned Queen, Who's Who, Black Maria, Sasaki, and even Jack to their original places.

However, there were two people that both Moke and Kaido seemed to have overlooked: Ulti and Page One. This was no coincidence, because once their affairs were brought up, they would become an intractable knot. After all, both Moke and Kaido knew perfectly well that if this knot were touched, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Since both sides were interested in forming an alliance, and even considering a marriage alliance, it was natural not to touch on this sensitive topic again. Thus, the matter between Ulti and Page One was like a secret buried deep underground, and no one mentioned it again.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Moke finally embarked on his journey to Wano Country, where people and things he desperately needed awaited him— Kozuki Hiyori, O-Tama, and Tenguyama Hitetsu.

Some might wonder, since Moke has already married Kaido, why would he come looking for them? Isn't that a betrayal? But in reality, things are far more complicated than they appear.

Hehe...

Don't forget, Kaido's eldest son, Yamato, is the most filial person in the entire One Piece world! If you want to win her heart and ultimately her body, you absolutely cannot ally with Kaido; you must oppose Kaido. That way, you'll be just one small step away from success!

Moreover, if you could also establish some connection with Wano Country, such as helping them restore their country, then it would be incredibly easy to firmly grasp Yamato in your hands!

Of course, since a true marriage or alliance with Kaido is impossible, then Kozuki Hi is undoubtedly the best choice! After all, once you and Kozuki Hi are together, the entire Wano Country will be yours, and the Nine Red Scabbards and others will all submit to your command. At that time, the child you have with Kozuki Hi can naturally inherit the entire Wano Country and become its supreme king. And your child with Yamato can inherit the pirate crew and continue to roam this vast sea.

Wow, this is absolutely wonderful! Just imagining it in my mind is already mesmerizing. However, in order to find the person he's looking for more easily, he specially brought Enel along as well.

As they strolled through the forests of Wano Country, Enel suddenly pointed forward without warning and shouted, "Look, right there! There are two people, one a child, the other an adult." He seemed to remember something after saying that, and added, "Hmm... this adult seems to have some strength."

Upon hearing Enel's words, Moke's lips curled into a sly smile, and he made a "tsk tsk" sound, "Hehe... O-Tama, Tenguyama Hitetsu, here I come!"

Speaking of O-Tama, she's truly a special case! She possesses the Paramecia -type Millet-Millet Fruit ability, allowing her to pluck an edible mochi ball from her face. And these aren't ordinary mochi balls; no matter how ferocious an animal is, once it eats one, it instantly becomes docile and obedient. Moreover, this ability also works on Zoan users with Artificial Devil Fruit abilities!

Even more amazingly, animals or SMILE users who eat the dumplings will regard O-Tama as their master and obey her every command. However, it's important to note that only O-Tama herself can pluck the dumplings off her face; no one else can do it.

With him, Moke could bring Kaido's "Beasts Pirates" army, which he had painstakingly built up, under his control and make it a powerful force. After all, as time goes by, Moke's territory will continue to expand, and the larger the territory, the more manpower he will need... and these guys from the "Beasts Pirates" army would undoubtedly be a very good choice.

Of course, besides the "Beasts Pirates" army, there is another key figure— Tenguyama Hitetsu. His identity is not simple. Decades ago, he was the supreme ruler of Wano Country, the former shogun of Wano Country, and also the father of Kozuki Oden Kuri Wano Country. Not only that, he is also the grandfather of Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori!

However, the relationship between Tenguyama Hitetsu and his son Kozuki Oden was somewhat tense, and he had always strongly opposed Oden. But who could have imagined that Oden would eventually be brutally murdered by Kaido? Suffering such a heavy blow, Tenguyama Hitetsu had no choice but to go into hiding, disguise himself as an ordinary citizen, and quietly live in Amigasa Village in the Kuri region of Wano Country under the pseudonym Tenguyama Hitetsu.
