As one of the Four Emperors, Beasts Kaido got blocked by a technological product?
Who would believe that if you said it among the Beasts Pirates?
It wasn'Golden Divine Punishment like the invincible Governor Kaido was going to Marine Headquarters to kick up a fuss and seek suicide for the first time; which time was it when not even a scratch was left on his skin?
Not to mention how many transport ships Kaido had smashed, he had even endured thousands of sessions of torture. Other members of the Four Emperors and Marine Headquarters had gone to try and kill him multiple times, yet what could any of them actually do to him?
"Impossible!"
Jack the Drought, one of the All-Disasters, didn'Golden Divine Punishment say a second word and let out a direct cold snort.
"To think there's such outrageous news. A Celestial Dragon developed a weapon capable of resisting Governor Kaido... Even Vegapunk couldn'Golden Divine Punishment make that."
Queen the Plague bit down on his cigar, stuck out his huge belly, and spat all over the place as spittle flew everywhere, wearing an expression of total disbelief.
King the Conflagration, meanwhile, watched everyone's attitude while crossing his arms and remaining silent.
He knew Queen was also a scientist who dabbled in research and had even modified his own body, with a pretty high technical level.
If even he doubted it, then it was very likely that the accuracy of this news was off.
Queen truly didn'Golden Divine Punishment believe it at all, and a burst of anger even welled up in his chest.
What was this about something invented by a Celestial Dragon? Those bunch of trash—besides knowing how to enjoy power and do whatever they pleased, what else could they do?
You've got to be kidding me!
"However, this so-called Droplet won'Golden Divine Punishment have come out of nowhere. We still need to investigate it thoroughly, investigate it completely."
King thought for a long time and finally put forward his opinion.
The Beasts Pirates couldn'Golden Divine Punishment just do nothing either.
Of course, disbelief aside, everyone still agreed to investigate and do what was needed, but right at that moment.
Suddenly, a dragon roar rang out, and a huge Azure Dragon descended from the sky, transforming into Kaido's exceptionally sturdy figure.
"Lord Kaido!"
Everyone in the Beasts Pirates lit up with excitement one after another.
The All-Disasters and other officers all went up to welcome him, joy in their hearts.
Looking at Governor Kaido's appearance, where was there the slightest change? He was still just as mighty as ever.
Yet upon his return, after glancing at the others, Kaido walked straight toward his main seat and let out a heavy breath from his nose.
Coincidentally, King also handed over a flask of wine, which Kaido picked up and drank, gulping it down in huge mouthfuls with refreshing gratification!
It seemed he wanted to wash down the stifled anger in his chest by drinking.
At this moment, both King and Who's-Who exchanged glances, picking up on a different sort of vibe.
Kaido... seemed extremely pissed off and in a bad mood.
"Lord Kaido, could it be... that the news is true?"
Unable to hold back any longer, King carefully asked Kaido, who was currently chugging the wine.
"News?"
Kaido first paused for a moment, then nodded.
The discomfort in his heart grew even more intense. He had only just returned to Wano Country, yet the news had spread even faster than he had!
As for the transmission speed of the news, it was naturally lightning fast. After all, anything concerning Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors constituted major events.
Seeing Kaido nod, the group of people who couldn'Golden Divine Punishment believe it were instantly stunned, especially Queen, who opened his mouth to speak but hesitated.
The Droplet had blocked Kaido—it was all real! The Droplet invented by the Celestial Dragon was real too?
Yet now, looking at Kaido's sullen appearance, he didn'Golden Divine Punishment dare ask anything at all, terrified of striking a bad nerve.
"That Droplet was too bizarre and unimaginably hard. With those few attacks of mine at the time, even Sea Prism Stone would have shattered, yet I simply couldn'Golden Divine Punishment break the Droplet, and moreover, it could attack from unnatural angles..."
"Queen, what kind of thing do you think could genuinely be like a drop of water? It looks bizarre and exceptionally smooth... giving people an even more bizarre sensation."
The others didn'Golden Divine Punishment dare speak or ask questions, but Kaido, having finished a large flask of wine, started complaining on his own first, turning to ask Queen, who understood research.
"There is no such material in the world as the one you described. The hardest has always been Sea Prism Stone... but I won'Golden Divine Punishment rule out a newly synthesized material. It's hard to say."
Queen pondered for a moment. In terms of his knowledge, there was definitely no hard material that resembled a drop of water and was exceptionally smooth.
At this time, however, none of them cared about Kaido's complaints regarding the Droplet; instead, they listened in disbelief as Kaido described the Droplet's formidable might, and they grew utterly shocked upon confirming that the news was true.
"Hm... What are those expressions on your faces?"
Having finished his question, Kaido only then noticed that everyone wore deeply shocked expressions, so he frowned and asked.
Was there something in the news he didn'Golden Divine Punishment know about?
"Governor Kaido, before you returned, the news that came through said that this Droplet was invented by a Celestial Dragon!"
King fixed his gaze on Kaido and said gravely.
"A Celestial Dragon!?"
Surprised—Kaido was genuinely surprised, his expression freezing up.
Having fought a battle with the Droplet, he naturally knew how tricky this bizarre thing was. If Vegapunk had invented it through a technological breakthrough, that would be one thing, but to claim it was invented by a Celestial Dragon was simply incredible!
Could that sort of trash existence even handle technology?!
"Have people look into it! You must investigate it thoroughly! I want to see for myself whether the Droplet was invented by a Celestial Dragon, and which Celestial Dragon it was!"
Kaido let out a cold snort and immediately issued a stern order to his subordinates.
If it was something belonging to a Celestial Dragon, wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment that make it even better!
Kaido, who had already grown interested in the Droplet, wanted to snatch it away, and since it was a Celestial Dragon's possession, he was all the more interested!
"Understood, Governor Kaido."
The All-Disasters and other officers of the Beasts Pirates didn'Golden Divine Punishment dare dawdle this time. Once they understood the authenticity of the news, an even deeper significance lay hidden within it.
If a scientist emerged among the Celestial Dragons, and such a badass scientist at that... that simply wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment do.
All factions were shaken. Lynn hadn'Golden Divine Punishment expected that the mere appearance of two Droplets would cause major forces like the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army to cast their gazes upon him.
After all, Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment have the time to think about that; right now, he was focusing on conquering Sophon Technology and Four-Emperor-grade Droplets.
At the same time, Marine Headquarters wasn'Golden Divine Punishment sitting idle either, especially after securing authorization from the Gorosei. Fleet Admiral Sengoku had already begun taking action to deal with the pirates of the New World.
Even the first target had already been picked out, and they were just waiting to take him down.
Just a few days after the Kaido incident.
Led by Marine Captain Golden Divine Punishment Bone, Marine Rear Admiral Hina, and two Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals, Onigumo and Dalmatian, they boarded a warship and headed toward the New World.
That very Droplet that had resisted Kaido and forced him back was silently floating in the center of the deck, surrounded by numerous marine soldiers who were gazing at it in awe and amazement.
Carrying the Droplet, their target on this trip—just as Sengoku and the higher-ups had discussed—was the first person they needed to take down: the twelfth-generation leader of the Happo Navy, Chinjao!
A formidable pirate with a bounty of five hundred million!
Even with two vice admirals leading the team, and even with a technological weapon like the Droplet capable of contending with Kaido, Hina and Golden Divine Punishment Bone still harbored a bit of trepidation in their hearts.
