Lin Yuan did not choose to fly, but transformed into a giant dragon several thousand meters long and plunged into the sea. Compared to Flame Clouds's speed, he was almost twice as fast in the sea.
Along the way, huge waves were still rolling in, and every now and then a terrifyingly huge tail could be seen stirring the waves.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan's route to the Beasts Pirates' territory did not involve any countries; otherwise, the resulting waves would have created a terrifying tsunami, which would have been a disaster.
After swimming for a full three hours, Lin Yuan's figure finally broke through the surface of the sea again. After transforming into human form, he stood on Flame Clouds and contacted Genzo once more.
To his relief, Genzo's Den Den Mushi was still working.
" Genzo, how are you? Hang in there, I'm on my way!"
"I'm alright for now. I've already escaped, don't worry!"
Lin Yuan gave a few more instructions, then flew quickly following the guidance of the Vivre Card.
His face was grim. He had just asked Genzo what was going on, and he hadn't expected the Beasts Pirates to be so greedy.
Not only did they fail to meet Kaido, but all their goods were stolen, and the people they sent were captured or even killed.
Genzo and several strong guards barely escaped, only to find that the culprits were actually Brother Jack and Queen, who not only coveted the goods but also wanted to capture people for research.
Lin Yuan felt a surge of anger. The caravan had already sent a message to Kaido, but he hadn't expected this guy to dare to pull such a stunt. Did he really think he was so powerful just because he was one of the Four Emperors?
" Kaido, thankfully Genzo is alright. If you were unaware of this, that's fine. But if you ordered it, I'll make sure you become a dead dragon!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan increased his speed again.
Meanwhile, on Onigashima, inside a tall building, Kaido lay drunkenly on a huge futon, with a giant gourd still spilling wine.
Just then, Jin rushed in, a stern look in his eyes.
"Big brother, big brother, wake up!"
Kaido opened his blurry eyes, and after recognizing the person who had come, he slurred drunkenly.
"Jin! What's wrong?"
"Brother, didn't a merchant guild called Abyss send us a letter a while ago, wanting to do business in our territory?"
"And you remember we prepared the goods to be delivered."
Kaido seemed to perk up a bit, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Hmm, it seems like that's the case. What's wrong? Didn't I ask you to take responsibility?"
A cold glint flashed in Jin's eyes, and then he spoke.
"Brother, the Abyss Chamber of Commerce delivered the goods this morning, but those two guys, Queen and Jack, robbed the Abyss Chamber of Commerce and killed people."
Hearing this, Kaido became somewhat interested, but he didn't take it too seriously and casually remarked.
"Oh, is that so? So what if they stole it? They won't dare cause us any trouble. This is a good opportunity for me to stretch my legs."
"Uh, brother, it's true that we don't need to worry about it, but this time the other party is very sincere, offering goods from three merchant ships. Isn't that a bit unethical?"
Kaido now fully awake, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Oh, tell me more."
"Brother, this time the other party is very sincere, and they said they would give us 30% of the profits. I've investigated the Abyss Chamber of Commerce; they're quite famous in the first half of the Grand Line."
"They even wiped out more than a dozen pirate crews in one night, and they were all big-name pirates with considerable power. Moreover, their goods are very sought after. That's where you bought your wine, brother."
"This time, Queen and Jack directly led their men to rob the other side. Although we are not afraid of retaliation, it's still not a good thing."
"And most importantly, the leader and his guards escaped this time."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Kaido's eyes, and he said somewhat angrily.
"Those two idiots, Queen and Jack, actually dared to lead a team to steal from the other side."
"But Jin, it's no big deal. They robbed us, so what? They won't dare come back here. We can just stop doing business with them."
King was taken aback. He had thought Kaido would punish Queen and Jack, but he didn't expect Kaido to say this.
But that makes sense. They are now one of the Four Emperors, and they are not afraid of a small merchant guild. Even if the other party is very famous, they don't feel any pressure.
"But brother, this way we'll lose a lot of profits. I've heard they're very good at making money."
"Hahaha, Jin, just a small trading guild. Send word that they send another batch of goods. Consider it a greeting gift, otherwise I wouldn't mind wiping them out."
As expected of a Four Emperors- level pirate, his words are so Haki. In the past two years Kaido has tried many ways to die and has been captured by the Navy several times, but no one has been able to kill him.
Therefore, Kaido is now extremely arrogant, even seeking the pleasure of death.
He didn't care much about a small chamber of commerce; he was just sorry for the lost profits. However, he felt that if he gave them another chance, they would definitely deliver the money obediently.
Although King disliked Queen and Jack's actions, he did not try to persuade Kaido again.
"Okay, brother, but what about those goods?"
"Hmph, those two bastards, Queen and Jack, still need to be taught a lesson. Confiscate all the loot they stole, and then give them a verbal scolding."
King nodded and walked out of the room, while Kaido nonchalantly picked up his gourd and started drinking again.
"I must say, this wine is quite delicious."
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had used the Vivre Card to find Genzo and several guards from the Chamber of Commerce, but all of them were covered in injuries.
" Lin Yuan, you've finally arrived! This Beasts Pirates are simply outrageous!"
Upon seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Genzo and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said angrily.
" Genzo, don't panic, tell me in detail what happened!"
"Here's the thing, we were carrying our goods, ready to talk to the Beasts Pirates, when two guys showed up. They must be Queen and Jack, two of the All-Stars."
"These two guys completely disregarded us, even constantly mocking us. Then, when they saw our goods, they claimed them as theirs and demanded we send some more."
"We were just explaining a few words to them, and they started attacking us. If it weren't for my brothers risking their lives to protect us, I think we would have been done for today."
At this moment, both Lin Yuan and Genzo and the others had frosty expressions on their faces; this was simply too much.
"Hmph, Four Emperors pirate crew, do they really think they're invincible? Genzo, you guys go back first, I'm going to have a chat with Kaido."
Although they knew Lin Yuan was very strong, Genzo and the others were very worried and quickly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm.
"Don't be impulsive! That guy is Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. He's not someone to mess with!"
"It's alright, just one of the Four Emperors. You should leave here immediately, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
Genzo and the others nodded, then quickly packed up and left.
A day later, on Onigashima, as Kaido was once again indulging in fine wine, a terrifying yet majestic voice rang out.
" Kaido, you fucking get out here!"
