" Kaido? Interesting. To be able to make even Whitebeard feel troubled, it seems Kaido has improved a lot recently!" Zesi was slightly surprised when he heard this news.
Is Kaido strong? Yes, very strong.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Zesi defeated Kaido in Wano Country in no time.
In fact, Zesi had used his full strength at that time.
Zesi was completely exhausted for a while after the attack.
The Eighteen Divine Space Strikes struck Kaido head-on, but it only managed to inflict some injuries on him, at least not fatal ones.
Afterwards, Kaido transformed into a dragon and escaped without any qualms.
Some time ago, I used the Twenty-Eight Divine Space Strikes, and about ten of them were destroyed by the Divine Space Strike Kong Strike.
In reality, only about eighteen hits actually struck Kong.
Kong was bursting with life force at the time, but he was still brutally beaten to death by the Eighteen Strikes of the Divine Space Strike.
This shows the difference between the two people.
Kong, whose vitality has been unleashed, might be stronger than Kaido.
However, in terms of defense and recovery, Kaido superior to Kong.
If Kaido's strength increases further, he'll truly be a formidable opponent. No wonder Whitebeard couldn't handle him for the time being. 690 "Captain, Kaido isn't one to let things go easily. He still holds a grudge from your defeat last time. We wiped out his entire pirate crew last time, and now that he's regrouped, he'll probably seek revenge! According to our intelligence, Kaido has somehow recruited a group of extremely powerful crew members, including many Zoan Devil Fruit users, and I've even heard there's an Ancient Zoan among them," Spencer said.
"Revenge? He doesn't have the guts, at least not now!" Zesi said with a nonchalant smile.
His own Eighteen Divine Space Strikes was no ordinary attack.
Although the power of the Divine Space Strike is not as strong as it seems, its Divine Space Strike and will.
The mental damage from Zesi's Eighteen Divine Space Strikes far outweighed the physical damage.
The fact that Kaido didn't immediately cause trouble for me after he appeared shows this.
He had not yet recovered from the fear of the Eighteen Divine Space Strikes.
Otherwise, his first target would have been the Azure Emperor Pirates, not the Whitebeard Pirates.
Therefore, until he overcomes this fear, he has no need to worry about Kaido causing him trouble.
As for when Kaido will overcome this fear, Zesi doesn't know either.
Perhaps I'll overcome this fear tomorrow, or perhaps I'll never overcome it in my lifetime.
Even if Kaido were to emerge one day, Zesi would never be afraid.
If you don't cause me any trouble, that's fine. But if you dare to cause me trouble, or block my way!
Zesi said it would remind him of the fear he felt when he was enveloped by the Divine Space Strike.
Hearing Zesi's words and his confident smile, everyone wore proud smiles.
This is their captain, the Azure Emperor; he has every right to have such confidence.
No matter how powerful Kaido, he's nothing in front of their captain.
If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of!
"Captain, the pirate crew now has three thousand official crew members and ten thousand Death Camp soldiers. The current organization is a bit bloated, so we need to increase the number of members!" Spencer said at this moment.
To cope with their rapidly expanding territory, the Azure Emperor Pirates had to drastically increase the number of members in their Death Camp.
Besides absorbing a large number of former Silver Axe Pirates members, they also fought in the New World and defeated many pirate crews during this period.
Those who caught our eye were recruited into the Death Camp, and those who performed well were promoted directly to regular crew members.
Before they knew it, the Death Camp had expanded to more than 10,000 people.
Even the number of official crew members reached three thousand after the expansion.
"What plans does your staff have?" Zesi asked.
The current rule of the Azure Emperor Pirates is that the staff will formulate a plan for any matter, and Zesi will decide whether to implement it.
"Our general staff's plan is to expand the Death Camp into the Death Army, with five battalions under it, and establish Fourth Division and Fifth Division at the rank of squadron, with the Fourth Division primarily composed of Fish-Man!"
"So, has a candidate been chosen for the squad leader?" Zesi asked.
Zesi didn't care much about the Death Camp. The purpose of the Death Camp, besides relieving the pressure on the Azure Emperor Pirates caused by insufficient numbers, was mainly to select high-quality crew members through the most rigorous training and the most brutal battles.
However, the squad leader, Zesi, cannot be ignored.
Because the division commanders are already high-ranking members of the pirate crews, at the executive level!
Moreover, he can ignore everything else in the entire pirate crew, but Zesi will firmly hold onto the power to promote officers.
"Among the entire pirate crew, in terms of both strength and qualifications, the four Azure Emperor Apostle are the most suitable."
Only Zesi in the entire pirate crew is capable of promoting officers, but the staff can make recommendations.
"Apostles and squad members are two separate systems. Apostles won't be appointed squad leaders unless absolutely necessary. Let's conduct a selection process across the entire pirate crew. Compile a list of those who have performed well in training and combat during this period, and then hold a tournament to select the captains of the Fourth Division and Fifth Division Captain. Furthermore, this time we not only need to select squad leaders, but also a vice-captain for each squad, with a temporary rank of Associate Officer!"
The Azure Emperor Pirates operate on a dual system of positions and ranks.
It's actually just like the ranks and positions in the navy.
However, there aren't many positions available in the Azure Emperor Pirates right now.
There were only the chief instructor, the chief of staff, and the squad leader.
A new deputy squad leader position will now be added.
However, as the pirate crew expands, the positions will become more numerous and more comprehensive.
The ranks are divided into Associate Officer, officers, intermediate officers, senior officers, top officers, and vice captains.
The newly added deputy squad leader is at the Associate Officer level, and the apostles also start out at the Associate Officer level.
This rank will be increased based on their performance in the pirate crew.
The greater your achievements, the higher your rank will be.
While you might be just an ordinary officer, someone else could be the highest-ranking officer or even the vice-captain.
Furthermore, even among squad leaders, those of lower rank must show respect to those of higher rank.
When carrying out a mission simultaneously, lower-ranking squad leaders must obey higher-ranking squad leaders.
