"Roar"

A tremendous roar, obscuring the clouds, and a monstrous wave surged across the vast, azure sea. A colossal creature, wings outstretched, stirred up a terrifying storm and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Puff"

Covered in blood, with disheveled hair, and large wounds covering his entire body.

Unable to hold on any longer, Ye Chen stood on the fire's back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Click-clack"

His left hand was completely twisted, his face was deathly pale, and his right hand gripped his left hand. With a cracking sound, the bones reconnected.

His long, messy, jet-black hair was dripping with blood, and his aura had plummeted to freezing point.

His upper body was bare, with five deep scratches that revealed the bone, and old wounds covering almost his entire body.

He was wearing tattered pants, which were also covered in blood.

Beside him, Tesoro watched Ye Chen's unchanging linked arm and couldn't help but feel a toothache.

The murderous aura emanating from Ye Chen had not completely dissipated, and his blood-soaked, demonic appearance made Tesoro's hair stand on end.

"Boss, are you alright?!"

Swallowing hard, Tesoro broke the silence.

"He's not dead yet!"

As if it weren't his own body, or perhaps he couldn't feel any pain at all, Ye Chen remained indifferent.

This battle lasted almost eighty-eight nights. Strictly speaking, the two sides were evenly matched, but if we really want to be precise, both sides had their victories and defeats.

For example, Ye Chen can't compare to Kaido's recovery ability, endurance, and so on.

In Ye Chen of attack and speed, Kaido was also at a disadvantage.

As for Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, the two are about equal. As for Observation Haki, Ye Chen completely surpasses Kaido. So overall, the two are about equal!

This battle, strictly speaking, also ended in a draw, as both sides were exhausted.

If the fight continues, Ye Chen is more likely to die, because Kaido's regenerative abilities are simply too powerful.

However, after this incident, Kaido wouldn't dare to underestimate Ye Chen. If he wanted to make another move against Doflamingo or interfere in the country's business, then Kaido would have to consider many issues.

Don't think Kaido is a fool. Although he likes to solve problems with force, he has to choose his opponents carefully.

Looking at Kaido's record, he almost always fought alone. However, if you look closely, you will find that Kaido has never killed the most important members under the Four Emperors, such as Big Four Sweet Commanders, Whitebeard's captains, or Red-Haired's crew.

When it comes to fighting, Kaido only challenges Whitebeard, Big Bang, and Red-Haired, never their subordinates.

This is the unspoken rule that both sides agree on.

King against king, general against general. If a king attacks a general, he will not only lose face, but may even anger the other king. Most importantly, their pride will not allow them to do so.

If Kaido kills the other Four Emperors's important subordinates, then the other Four Emperors will target your subordinates, leaving you and Kaido alone, which no one wants.

If the deaths occurred due to a fight between the two sides' subordinates, then no one can be blamed, because it was because their own strength was insufficient.

In general, there is only one rule: king against king, general against general.

Of course, if the king is not arrogant, or if someone is too disrespectful to the king, then the king can kill them, but he must think carefully about the consequences.

If it weren't for this tacitly accepted rule, it's uncertain whether the Four Emperors would even exist in the New World.

Of course, this rule may only apply to the Four Emperors; it's a different story for the Navy or other forces.

Because the world is generally divided very clearly.

First, there's the World Government, a behemoth, whose navy is merely a subordinate agency.

Secondly, there are the Four Emperors the New World. Regardless of the conflicts between them, each of the Four Emperors is nothing to the World Government.

Third, there is the mysterious Revolutionary Army.

Fourth, there are the Shichibukai.

Fifth, there is the Underworld.

Sixth, there are the Affiliated Nation with their own agendas, or other scattered kingdoms.

Seventh, there are other scattered forces or powerful pirate crews.

The world can be roughly divided into several regions, among which the World Government is the most powerful. It faces the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army, and other monsters and demons, which shows how terrifying the World Government is.

Within these massive tectonic plates, you'll find that various forces are deeply embedded in the ocean, like tree roots.

For example, the Four Emperors each ruled their own territories and even harbored hatred towards each other.

The same applies to other forces, which are like a large tree, consisting of a trunk, branches, leaves, etc., making them extremely complex.

Yes, the destruction of any one of these forces would have far-reaching consequences, causing unimaginable repercussions.

Because this ocean is currently in a precarious balance, it only needs a tiny spark to completely collapse and reshuffle the deck.

"Brubrubru"

Suddenly, Tesoro's Den Den Mushi rang. This was Ye Chen's personal Den Den Mushi, which he had given to Tesoro before leaving the country.

And only a handful of people knew the Den Den Mushi number.

"Hello! This is Tesoro."

Tesoro pulled out his Den Den Mushi and spoke immediately.

"Tell BSS we've found out about Elwin." On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Rob Lucci wasn't surprised to see Tesoro answer the phone.

Give me the phone.

After drinking a bottle of the recovery potion developed by Caesar, Ye Chen sat cross-legged, his body wreathed in smoke and sparks flashing intermittently, clearly healing his injuries.

However, upon hearing Rob Lucci's voice, Ye Chen opened his eyes.

Taking the Den Den Mushi from Tesoro, Ye Chen immediately asked, "Location?"

Sabaody Archipelago.

"Fire, change direction."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ye Chen closed his eyes again, the smoke around him growing thicker and the sparks becoming increasingly intense.

"It's BSS."

With a roar, the hurricane stirred up towering waves, forming a storm, and in the blink of an eye, Huo and his group turned into black dots.

Ye Chen had only given a few important targets to the intelligence agency headed by Rob Lucci and supported by Kaku and others.

The first thing to investigate was Sleepy Ancient Town, but after so many years, there is still no concrete information.

The second task is to find the culprit who caused Ye Chen all the suffering and whose personality was completely changed: Elwin.

In addition, there are documents or legends about the Rainbow Mist, and other things.

Unexpectedly, news that had been out of reach for so many years reached Ye Chen's ears at this time.

Meanwhile, Dressrosa is undergoing restructuring.

Doflamingo had already washed himself again and changed his clothes, though some parts of his body were still bandaged.

Meanwhile, Diamante and the others in the hall were also injured and wrapped up like dumplings.

Almost everyone, except for Doflamingo, was instantly killed. Kaido couldn't withstand a single punch and ended up in his current state.

As for Sugar, who has special abilities, she doesn't even have the right to get close to Kaido, because Kaido's aura of a prehistoric beast almost made Sugar faint.

At that moment, Doflamingo had a gloomy expression and seemed to be thinking about something, while the others remained silent.

"You've all become somewhat lax these past few years. From now on, all of you, get back to training."

"With our current strength, we are not capable of realizing our ambitions. Do you all understand?"

This close encounter was extremely humiliating for Doflamingo. He never thought he was inferior to anyone else; he wanted to overthrow the people of the Holy Land, become the One Piece, and make everyone submit to him.

Only power gives one a voice; otherwise, no matter how great one's power, it's just a bubble that can be blown away.

"Understood, Doff."

"Young Master."

To clarify, the "king" here doesn't refer to the king of a single country, but rather a king with Conqueror's Haki —whether it's a majestic ruler, a king, a hegemon, a tyrant, or even a benevolent king, a tolerant king, a king who considers the bigger picture, or a self-centered king.

Everyone has their own opinions. To be honest, it's just wishful thinking; it's just that, and there's no need to take it too seriously.

If you can understand it, you'll think it's pretty good; if you can't, you'll think it's garbage. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I hope everyone can be more rational. If you don't like it, just quietly delete the book and leave. There's no need to say anything hurtful.

Also, I see that many people like the villain Doflamingo, so I'll make some arrangements for him.
