That Man Who Was About to Stop Being a Man

Two days later

The Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick arrived at this island and established their base in a deserted place. It resembled a castle, but was far less luxurious. In Whitebeard's words, there was no need for extravagant accommodations; money should be saved for more meaningful things! Like, hosting banquets...

"Hey, dinner's ready!" A member of the Whitebeard Pirates handed food to Drought Jack, who was imprisoned. "You're really lucky. Today's food was personally prepared by our Captain Thatch! Enjoy!"

After handing the food to Jack, the crew member hurriedly went outside. He couldn't help it; if he wasn't quick enough, his favorite food would probably be devoured by his companions.

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? I'm Drought Jack! How could I possibly eat the enemy's food! I'd rather starve to death, die here, or jump off a cliff ten thousand meters in the sky than eat a single thing from you!" Jack roared, veins bulging on his forehead, displaying remarkable courage. Of course, he was one of the All-Stars of the Beast Pirates! Naturally, he possessed his own backbone!

Two minutes later

"It smells so good!" Jack stuck out his tongue and licked the grease off his lips. "Hmph, I'm not stupid! Depleting the enemy's resources is something I'll naturally do!"

After eating and drinking his fill, Jack closed his eyes and began to slowly recover his strength...

Outside the prison

"Hahaha! Ace, you can't hold your liquor either!" Teach, holding his glass, a slight hint of drunkenness on his face.

"What did you say?! Hiccup! How dare you look down on me! Come on! I'm going to get you drunk today!" Ace burped as he finished his drink. "Thatch, are you raising fish? Hurry up and drink!!"

Thatch, who was wolfing down his meat, quickly put down his stick, picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. "Damn Ace, I've been busy for so long, and you provoke me as soon as I've eaten something! Come on! I'll make you admit defeat today!"

Just as everyone was having a great time, the Den Den Den Mushi in Teach's arms rang.

"Hello? Who is it!" Teach asked, pulling out Den Den Mushi and looking quite drunk.

"It's me! Red-Haired!" The Den Den Mushi's appearance changed instantly; the three scars on its face and the small, secretly hidden tentacles all pointed to its identity.

"Oh! It's you! What's up? Is there something you need?" Teach said nonchalantly.

"Didn't you ask me to help you find a brat named Momonosuke a while ago? According to the information I've received, that brat is currently in Punk Hazard, which is Doflamingo's territory!"

Red-Haired's words brought Teach back to his senses, and he quickly asked, "Really? Is the information reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable! My intelligence network is very efficient! Since they dared to tell me this information, they must be more than 90% sure! Now that you've done what you asked me to do, our grudges are settled! Also, don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter!" After saying that, Red-Haired hung up the phone, leaving Teach standing there alone, his eyes flickering, seemingly deep in thought.

"Have you heard news of Momonosuke? Sigh, I'm just too kind! After all, he's Oden's son. And coincidentally, I have a copy of the Sunflower Manual I got from signing in! To make him even stronger, I'll reluctantly part with it!" Teach's smile was no less sinister and lewd than Kizaru's! Then, as if he had thought of something, he kept rubbing his beard with his right hand.

"To be honest, Shanks' daughter is really beautiful..."

"Teach! What are you doing! If you don't come back soon, I'm going to eat all your Cherry Pie!"

"You bastard Ace! Don't you dare touch my Cherry Pie!!!"

Day 2

After bidding farewell to all his companions, Teach set off alone for Doflamingo's territory! He only brought a small boat with him on this trip, and as for the Thunder Gaba, operating it alone was truly a pipe dream!

"Captain, may you rest in peace!" Fakyu said to Teach, wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

"Captain, be careful on the journey! Take this Log Pose; follow its guidance, and you will reach your destination!" Laffitte anxiously handed Teach a Log Pose, his expression as if he were looking at his son who was about to embark on a long voyage.

"Teach, your current identity is very sensitive! Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back!" Thatch was carrying a large bundle, which was full of Cherry Pie he had made for Teach.

Teach:...

"Damn it! It's not like I'm never coming back, and it's not like it's my first time sailing alone! Don't stare at me like that!" Teach looked at the sad-faced Fakyu and couldn't help but punch him.

"I'm leaving! I'll be back in a while! You guys absolutely cannot slack off in your training! If I find any of you doing anything lazy when I get back! Hmph! It won't just be a month of hellish training!"

Onigashima

This is the headquarters of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, located on an island near Wano. The island is shaped like a giant horn resembling a monster! The entire island is gloomy and terrifying, and countless vicious pirates gather on it!

At that moment, a henchman hurriedly ran into an empty room, which was more like a cave than a room!

He knelt tremblingly before the terrifying creature before him! The man was extremely tall and burly, with long black hair, a pair of long horns like dragon horns, a beard like dragon whiskers, dragon scale tattoos on his left arm, an X-shaped scar on his right abdomen, a purple shirt hanging from his waist, and two gold chains hanging from the hem of the shirt. His face was as ferocious as a demon, and he was like a devil incarnate!

Kaido of the Four Emperors!

The governor of the Beast Pirates, one of the "Four Emperors" of the New World, with a bounty of 4,611,100,000 Beli! He is a user of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form! He is known as "the strongest creature"!

The man before me had suffered seven defeats, been captured 18 times while challenging the Navy and the Four Emperors alone, endured over a thousand tortures, and been sentenced to death 40 times, yet no method of execution could take his life! He couldn't even kill himself!

"Kaido! Lord Jack has been defeated by Blackbeard! He's now a prisoner of the Whitebeard Pirates!" The henchman lowered his head after speaking. Given Kaido's unpredictable nature, he even felt that he had no chance of returning alive! It was just a pity for the woman still dancing in the dust!

"Cuihua, I'm sorry! I must meet you much earlier in my next life!"

Thinking of this, a single tear appeared on his face...

"Huh? What did you say?" Kaido put down his wine jug, his large face looming over, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly enraged!

"Kaido..." The henchman trembled all over, the fear on his face practically solidified!

The next second

"Ah! Waaaaah... Jack! Jack!"
