"Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh~"
With a peculiar laugh, Kaido transformed from his Azure Dragon Form back into his human form, clearly indicating that they had arrived at Onigashima.
Kazu and his group also set foot on this land. Further in, there were some exquisite buildings inside the island.
Kaido transformed Onigashima, leaving only a pile of rocks at the very top.
According to Kaido, that's where they train, and they can easily return there to rest afterward.
"Boss Kaido, you're back!"
Jack idolizes Kaido immensely; in his mind, there is no one in the world he cannot defeat besides Kaido.
Upon seeing Kaido return, they eagerly went to the door to greet him.
"It's Jack! You've come at the perfect time."
"Take this woman to have a copy of our Poneglyph made and give it to her."
Kaido pointed to Robin beside Kazu, indicating that Robin needed to be present for this task.
What if Kaido tries to trick him and makes a fake copy? Then he'll wander around the New World for ages, unable to find Laugh Tale, and look like a complete idiot!
Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, but it also made him seem dull.
With Robin personally accompanying us, we can prevent problems before they occur.
" Behrens, go with Robin."
OK!
Although Behrens and Kazu usually get along very casually and often joke around, when it comes to crucial moments, Behrens still obeys the captain's orders.
He knew in his heart that he didn't need to do anything else; protecting their archaeologists was enough.
He's here as a bodyguard.
Jack didn't say much. Kaido spoken, so he just had to do as he was told. The work of thinking was not Jack's concern.
As the group entered the interior of Onigashima, they passed a crossroads, and Jack, along with Robin and Behrens, left the group and headed towards another room.
All around were ordinary crew members of the Beasts Pirates, who were busy preparing the food and wine for the banquet under Captain Kaido's orders.
"Mr. Kaido."
"Preparations for the banquet are almost complete; it should be finished in about half an hour."
Upon seeing Kaido, Kazu, and the others arrive, King quickly flew down from the upper levels and reported on the current progress of the work.
"It's Jin. With you here, I feel relieved enough to prepare for drinking."
"Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh~"
King is his right-hand man, not only powerful but also the strategist of their Beasts Pirates.
That's right, you heard me correctly. Queen, the scientist, is not the strategist of the Beasts Pirates.
The reason is that his personality is too silly; he is smart, but he doesn't use his intelligence for good.
King, on the other hand, is mature and steady, and is deeply trusted by Kaido.
The group found a spacious and clean spot and sat down casually. Dozens of henchmen quickly brought over twenty jars of fine wine.
The food isn't ready yet, but the wine is ready to serve, so let's start drinking.
For Kaido, having delicious food isn't the most important thing; having fine wine is.
"Come on, Kazu, let's have a drink first!"
My disobedient son will be here shortly.
Kazu wasn't in a hurry, since Yamato couldn't escape Wano Country anyway.
So everyone raised their bowls and started drinking, Kazu specially brought out dozens of plates of peanuts.
There are fried peanuts sprinkled with salt, peanuts with vinegar, peanuts mixed with vegetables, and garlic-flavored peanuts.
Kaido had never seen such a way of eating before. Seeing Kazu and the others eat a couple of peanuts and then down a big bowl of wine with such a carefree expression made him very envious.
Kazu glanced at Kaido, who was practically drooling, and pushed two plates of each item to him.
"Don't just stand there, try some!"
"Fine wine and peanuts are a perfect match."
Kaido, unsuspecting, picked up a plate and ate half of it in one bite.
The peanuts tasted better and better as I chewed them. With my other hand, I grabbed a wine jar and gulped down a big mouthful. A sense of satisfaction inexplicably rose from the bottom of my heart.
"Hehehe, this stuff is really good."
"I'll eat this when I drink from now on."
"Jin, make the arrangements so that the farmers of Wano Country will mainly grow this."
"Let's have our chef study the recipe carefully; our future happiness depends on it."
Kaido was as happy as a child, as if he had discovered a new continent.
King and Kaido have been together for many years, so they're used to it.
"I understand, Mr. Kaido."
Kaido nodded in relief, then looked at Kazu and said, "You really know how to eat! You're just someone who travels the world adventuring; you always find so many good things."
Kazu certainly knew how lethal peanuts were to a drunkard like Kaido.
Eat as much as you like.
In a harmonious atmosphere, everyone raised their glasses once again.
