Queen: "Ah! I'm Building an Ability User Army?"

Wano Country, Flower Capital, inside the Shogun's Residence.

Kaido, his body wrapped in bandages and covered in wounds, with a sharp cut on his left horn, awoke from his unconsciousness.

"Boss Kaido, Boss Kaido is awake!"

"Great! The All-Star is awake! Now we must teach those lowly people a lesson they won't forget!"

"I was almost scared to death. If Big Mom had taken advantage of this time to invade Wano Country, we would have been in real danger..."

Many members of the Beast Pirates were moved to tears, not so much because they loved their captain so much, but mainly because they feared being reduced to ashes by the angry citizens of Wano Country and Big Mom who was spying on the Poneglyph.

"Quiet down, Kaido. How are you feeling?"

Feeling dizzy, Kaido turned around, picked up his Heavenly Wine Gourd, and gulped it down.

"You really look pathetic, Jhin. Getting into this state always reminds me of that hateful face, that madman with that inexplicable smile on his face."

"This is the difference in strength between us and Kaido. It is a gap that we could spend our entire lives trying to bridge."

Jhin spoke humbly, while Queen sat quietly not far away, contrary to his usual funk style, he brought over research equipment from the lab and was thinking about how to improve himself.

"Tch, I'm not going to sit here and wait to die. Next time we meet, I'll definitely develop an even more powerful killing weapon and show that bastard who's the real 'disaster'!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido also stood up, his bull-like eyes wide open like copper bells, and fixed his gaze on Queen, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Queen."

"Boss Kaido, what's wrong?"

Looking bewildered, Queen turned around, put down the mechanical tools in his hand, and for a moment didn't know what Kaido was going to do.

"Speaking of which, you and Vegapunk are colleagues, right? You can also create Lineage Factor for Ability User. As colleagues, you should also be aware of other people's research."

Kaido's expression was subtle as he Tiger Vision Staring Bullet at Queen, as if he would swing his spiked club down at the slightest provocation from Queen.

"Wait... wait a minute, Kaido, my research focuses mainly on weapons, just like Vinsmoke Judge."

"The Lineage Factor is an abbreviation for the Lineage Factor he and Vegapunk discovered, and the Lineage Factor of Ability User is very different from Lineage Factor of an ordinary person..."

Queen frantically tried to explain, but Kaido's eyes grew increasingly dangerous, as if the large spiked club in his hand would come crashing down on him at any moment.

"So, you can't do it!"

Faced with the question of Kaido's death, Queen really wanted to cry; this "disaster" couldn't do it...

"This is really beyond my capabilities. There's nothing in the Wano Country, so starting research from scratch would be a bit much..."

"Thunder Bagua!"

"Sure! We can give it a try! As long as we can find information about Lineage Factor, maybe we can give it a shot!"

The deep purple Lightning Serpent that had been coiling around the staff quietly dissipated, Kaido nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping Wano Country.

"Very good. I'll find a way to build a laboratory here that can rival Punk Hazard. I'm going to build my own legion of Ability User!"

"Next time, I will definitely not lose to that bastard Uchiha Huayue. Not only can he build an army of Devil Ability User, but I can too, woo-la-la-la-la..."

Faced with Kaido, who was laughing maniacally while drunk, Queen couldn't bring himself to speak; he was afraid he would be beaten to death with a single blow.

After a long silence, Queen walked out of the mansion, on the verge of tears.

"Ah! I'm going to form an army of Ability User? That's going to kill me!"

At this moment, Queen was filled with regret. He should have stolen the Lineage Factor that Vinsmoke Judge and Vegapunk had researched as well.

Why did you only steal Vinsmoke Judge technology and combat suit? Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Are you stupid?

As she spoke, she slapped herself hard several times and secretly hid in a corner to wipe away her tears.

Looking around at the desolate Wano Country, tears streamed uncontrollably down her tiny, beady eyes.

This is a desolate place with no electricity, let alone a laboratory. How can it compare to Punk Hazard?!

After Vegapunk joined the Navy, he had an inexhaustible supply of research funds and experimental specimens, and even Caesar Clown got a share of the profits.

Looking at myself, although I am one of the disasters in the Beast Pirates and am known as the right-hand man of the Four Emperors, my main job is still a scientist.

In this desolate Wano Country, there isn't even a trace of household appliances, let alone any research projects.

Fortunately, he wasn't the worst off among the MADS. He heard that Vinsmoke Judge couldn't even protect his own country and was driven out of the North Blue kingdoms, thus ending the Germa Kingdom.

His research into weapons in MADS was purely for revenge against the North Blue Kingdoms. Compared to him, his own situation was actually quite good.

Wait, how did we get off topic? Vegapunk and Vinsmoke Judge spent decades researching the Lineage Factor, how are they going to manage on their own?

"Let's start by building the thermal power plant. Once the weapons factory is built, we can raise a considerable amount of funds. There's always a way..."

A familiar voice sounded from behind him. Queen turned around and was moved to tears.

"Jhin! You torture bastard, you're actually a good person! How come I never noticed before!"

"Stop your nonsense, you balloon bastard, why don't you come up with a solution? We still haven't had a chance to go head-to-head with the Ability User army that Boss Kaido mentioned."

Jinbai's hair was disheveled, and the mask that concealed his true face had long been smashed to pieces by the earthquake man's punch; a new mask had not yet been made.

It's clear that the powerful army of Immortality Ability users left a deep impression on the Beast Pirates.

"Immortality? I never imagined such a thing actually existed. It completely defies scientific logic. Perhaps it's the power of some kind of Devil Fruit?"

For a moment, the two remained silent. Outside the Shogun's Residence, many members of the Beast Pirates were already fully prepared and, under Kaido's orders, were accelerating the construction of the weapons factory and power plant.

Seeing his many subordinates leave in a grand procession, Queen suddenly realized something.

"Hey, King, who should be in charge of selling the weapons produced in Wano Country?"

"Boss Kaido has considered it. I heard there's a rising star among the young pirates lately, what's his name again?"

"Ah, Donquixote Doflamingo, I heard that this guy has a special background. Kaido is planning to recruit him as a member of his affiliated pirate crew."

The two spoke casually, saying that although the Beast Pirates had been defeated, a mere small pirate was not worth their attention.

Queen: "Tell me, what is Uchiha Huayue doing right now?"

Jhin: "Who knows?"

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated town in the New World.

Achoo! Who's talking about me?

Shaking her head, Huayue selectively dismissed the question and picked up the blood-red fruit in front of her. Its exquisite and dazzling patterns were mesmerizing.
