Do You Know What a Strong Person Is?

The shadow propeller spun perfectly behind Akuta, propelling his driftwood across the sea.

To be honest, even he himself didn't expect that he could spin so well!

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power doesn't require specific energy to use; instead, it consumes stamina.

With his physique at the level of a dark-skinned sports student, he could drive the rotation of the shadow propeller with virtually no loss.

Akuta squinted and peered ahead.

"Have I chosen the wrong direction?"

By this time, it was completely dark, and just as he began to doubt whether he had chosen the wrong direction, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared on the horizon ahead.

"It's an island! I was right!"

Akuta suddenly stood up and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!"

He never expected that his random pointing would actually lead him to the right direction.

It seems he is the chosen one; the advantage lies with him!

In his excitement, Akuta did not forget to keep his eyes on what lay ahead.

Although we are still some distance from the shore, since Wano Country has been occupied by Kaido, there is a high possibility that members of the Beasts Pirates are near the coastline.

You should know that something called "Observation Haki" exists in the world of One Piece.

Who knows if there are any pirates on the shore who can sense his presence from a great distance?

Akuta lowered his body, letting his shadow cover him like a blanket, completely concealing himself in the darkness.

As they drew closer, the scenery along the shore gradually became clearer.

Several enormous pirate ships were anchored near the coastline, their prominent skull and crossbones flags fluttering high in the sea breeze.

A skull with a pair of dragon horns and two bone clubs crossed behind it.

The flag of the Beasts Pirates.

"As expected, they're here." Akuta narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the ships.

Lights were on on the decks of several ships, and figures could be vaguely seen moving about.

It seems that Kaido's control over Wano Country is even tighter than Akuta had imagined, with permanent patrols even stationed along the coastline.

"Luckily, I didn't just barge in."

Akuta carefully adjusted the direction of the driftwood, moving it parallel to the coastline, trying to find a landing point far away from the pirate ship.

About half an hour later, the pirate ships were far behind, and Akuta finally found a suitable landing point.

The moment the Akuta gently struck the beach, he leaped down, his feet firmly planted on the land of Wano Country.

"Wano Country, I, Akuta, have landed!"

The moment he reached the shore, Akuta raised his hands in a cheer.

Akuta knew this wasn't a place to stay for long; Kaido's men might come back, so he had to go further away.

After abandoning his driftwood on the shore, Akuta immediately ran into the deep mountains, far from the coast.

After running for about an hour, Akuta finally stopped.

Looking at the coastline that was completely out of sight behind him, Akuta wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"It should be about time now."

Akuta found a tree branch, sat down, and began to think about his future plans.

How can we defeat Kaido?

Akuta muttered to himself, lost in thought.

What are his current trump cards?

Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Although I spent an afternoon developing the newly acquired ability, it's still far from reaching the highest level of the Devil Fruit, "Fruit Awakening".

Adaptation and evolution.

As long as it can withstand a certain attack for a short period of time, the body will find a way to resist it on its own.

This skill, combined with his formidable Cursed Energy in the world of Jujutsu, would be virtually invincible, but that might not be the case here.

If Kaido were to strike with his club, the Akuta might not even have a chance to evolve before it goes straight to meet Moria.

Mirror replica.

Once he has used an ability or technique, he can use it perfectly Limitless number of times.

If he can develop even a little bit of "domineering aura," he will have mastered it perfectly.

That's a good hand, but he has to figure out how to use it first.

He is currently completely clueless about both "Armament Haki" and "Observation Haki".

Akuta counted on his fingers for a long time and realized that the only combat power he could currently use was the Shadow-Shadow Fruit he had just acquired.

What level is Kaido?

That's a monster that could instantly kill Gear Fourth Luffy with a single blow.

If I just go and find Kaido like this, I'm afraid I'll be sticking to Lord Kaido's feet!

"What should we do...?"

Akuta tapped his head, lost in thought.

If you want to choose the safest and most successful method, the best approach is to try to find someone to help you.

If one person can't defeat Kaido, does that mean they can't gang up on him?

There's no need to talk about morality when dealing with a wicked and evil person like Kaido!

It's important to understand that Kaido wasn't invincible at this point; Kozuki Oden from Wano Country was capable of fighting him.

With his formidable Information Network, Akuta was very confident that he could persuade Oden!

With Oden's strength, he could easily drive Kaido away, if not defeat him.

Even if he disagrees with Oden, it doesn't matter. After Oden discovers that Kaido has been deceiving him four years later, he will naturally go and fight Kaido.

According to Akuta's memories, in the original timeline, during the great battle between Oden and Kaido...

Kurozumi Higurashi used the Copy Fruit to transform into Momonosuke, distracting Oden and allowing Kaido to take advantage of the situation to ambush and defeat him from behind.

If I intervene and keep Oden from getting distracted, the chances of him defeating Kaido are still quite high.

In other words, even if Akuta does nothing, as long as he can survive these four years, he can find a place to get going.

Then, when Oden was fighting Kaido, he came out and reminded Oden that he had won!

But that's a useless way of thinking!

As the person who loves Xiao Lu the most on the entire internet, Akuta naturally learned the true mindset of a strong person from him.

How can a strong person achieve victory in such a low-class way?

His goal was to utterly defeat Kaido, the strongest creature in the world, in the shortest amount of time possible!!!

Looking for allies to fight Kaido?

As a creature capable of Limitless resurrection, the Akuta needs no companions.

He intends to challenge the entire Beasts Pirates single-handedly!

Find a safe place to cultivate for four years?

He could have done hundreds of challenges in that time!

Do you even know what it means to be the world's strongest teacher?

Instead of figuring it out on your own, you might as well go find Teacher Kai and get a few whacks on the head.

One strike to learn from shame and strive for improvement; two strikes to solidify the Ryuo form; three strikes to enhance knowledge and experience; four strikes to achieve enlightenment in the Overlord's Entanglement; five strikes to awaken the fruit; six strikes to remember the truth!

A few blows from Kaido-sensei were far more effective than studying in a closed environment.

Having decided on his future plans, Akuta jumped down from the tree.

Eager to improve, Akuta suddenly felt an urge to seek out Kaido-sensei for further training.

But reason told him it was too early; Kaido's level was too high, and he needed to test the waters with a few weaker opponents first.

Akuta suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"The monster must be fought slowly; cunning will only lead to defeat."

"Let's test the waters with a regular pirate officer first."
