What?
Kaido's expression froze.
No!
It should be said that Yamato, Zoro, and others are no exception.
The look in their eyes as they looked at Daps was one of utter disbelief.
Just a moment ago, the scene was tense, a fight to the death!
Now, Daps has spoken up, saying that his master has taken a liking to Bai Yu.
This isn't a killer contest, it's a matchmaking event! Are they treating Bai Yu like a gigolo?
What shocked them the most was that, in their eyes, the Five Elders were the biggest power behind the World Government.
Now, an adult has popped into their mouths.
That's far too shocking.
Even the Five Elders, who are of the highest rank, address each other as "Sir".
So, what exactly is this esteemed person?
To what extent has their strength reached?
"As expected, I've been noticed!"
Bai Yu paused for a moment, then quickly smiled.
Bai Yu had always suspected the existence of Imu.
The fact that he suddenly had designs on him only made Bai Yu more certain of his guess.
We are one step closer to the hidden truth of this world.
" Daps, are you kidding me? Not long ago you were eagerly coming to me to team up against this brat, and now you're turning around and saying some adult has taken a liking to him? Do you really think I, Kaido of the Beasts easy to bully, and that you're treating me like a monkey?"
"If he said he was willing, would you still kneel on the ground and call him 'sir'?"
Kaido was trembling with rage, his blood-red eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.
He wished he could kill Bai Yu as soon as possible.
Now, Daps suddenly blurted out this sentence.
It gave him the feeling of having taken off his pants only to find out the woman in his bed had something on her.
" Kaido, shut up! This is an order from the master. If you dare to insult the master, you will die!"
Sals's face darkened, and he shouted coldly.
you!
Kaido was furious.
Daps slammed his cane, which he had been gripping tightly, onto the ground at the opportune moment, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Enough! Shut up, all of you!"
"Lord Imu's orders to us were indeed to bring this brat back."
"However, there are two options: first, to bring the living person back voluntarily; second, to take the body back."
"I think you should have a choice now: live, or let us kill you and take you back!"
All eyes immediately fell on Bai Yu.
If it were anyone else, facing the four Five Elders in person, as well as Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, would be a formidable opponent.
I would definitely choose the first one.
However, the young man before them was none other than War Demon Bai Yu, the former Fourth Admiral admiral of the Navy, who was also known as one of the Five Emperors of the Sea.
Its most prominent characteristic is its bloodthirstiness and warlike nature.
His choice will probably be different from others, right?
Feeling the gazes from all around, Bai Yu gulped down a mouthful of wine and grinned bloodthirstyly.
"The first option, which would make you kneel down and call me 'Sir,' is really tempting."
"However, I'm even more lusting after your bodies. Let's see if they're worth cutting off."
"I'd rather chop you down than have you kneeling there with long faces!"
The soft sound, at this moment, seemed to be infused with a demonic chant, echoing between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.
Many of them had already guessed the answer.
However, the fact that Bai Yu directly pointed it out still sent a huge shockwave through people.
Facing a deadly situation comprised of four of the Five Elders and one of the Four Emperors.
To give such an answer is almost insanely arrogant, as if it were someone else entirely.
"As expected of our captain, he truly possesses extraordinary courage. Although I had already guessed it, hearing it from the captain's mouth still sent a shiver down my spine. At least I probably couldn't have done it."
Zoro smiled knowingly, but his fighting spirit only intensified.
Yamato paused for a moment, then couldn't help but speak.
"You haven't realized yet that those three old men are stronger than the one from before?"
"Aren't you worried that your captain will be defeated?"
"Defeated?" Sanji, Nami, and the others slowly walked to Zoro's side and asked.
"Sorry, we've been following the captain for so long, and we haven't seen the word 'defeat' associated with the ship yet."
"The captain wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of. Besides, the fact that he hasn't let us escape is enough to prove that everything is still under his control!"
Yamato stood there, stunned.
Looking at the four people with their calm expressions, it was the first time she had ever seen such genuine trust.
No!
It should be said that the last time we encountered each other was twenty years ago, when the Nine Red Scabbards looked at Kozuki Oden with such unwavering eyes.
However, this time, Yamato's intuition told him that the boy before him was someone that Kozuki Oden could never compare to.
Not only did they conquer Wano Country, but the forces they faced were also countless times more difficult than when they faced Kaido of the Beasts alone.
If I had to give a rating, perhaps it was the beginning of hell?
"Haha, you little rascal, I knew I wasn't wrong about you! I'm very happy with your choice!"
Nusjuro burst into laughter, gripping the First Kitetsu.
"Because I can kill you with my own hands!"
"You brat, your strength has indeed exceeded our expectations, and your growth rate has far surpassed our imagination. That's why we, the Five Elders, are here today to kill you."
"This is arguably the most powerful hunting force we've ever faced. Kid, what makes you think you can fight us?!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the immense aura within the Nusjuro's body exploded instantly.
It transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping across the entire venue.
The three men, including Daps, standing behind him did not immediately follow suit and express their opinions.
However, the mere presence of the four Five Elders exuded a suffocating aura.
Kaido's face also darkened. Why would the "master" that Daps and the others mentioned take a liking to Bai Yu?
He truly didn't know.
But this is the closest we've ever come to killing Bai Yu.
Only after killing Bai Yu could Kaido believe he could finally get a good night's sleep.
At the same time, he was also eager to know what expression Bai Yu would show when faced with this seemingly inescapable predicament.
Is this what gives you your confidence?
Bai Yu smiled.
"It seems I overestimated you."
"However, if we're talking about numbers, I'm no less than you. Perhaps, in a real fight, I can't compare to the Five Elders, but I can still stall for a few minutes and create an opportunity for me to kill someone."
Buzz!
The air flowing between heaven and earth trembled slightly.
The expressions on Daps's and the others' faces changed slightly.
They had considered that Bai Yu might give various answers.
However, no one expected that Bai Yu had other reinforcements hidden besides his trusted subordinates.
Faced with Bai Yu's sudden revelation of reinforcements, both the Five Elders and Kaido of the Beasts were eager to know who these people were.
At least in their eyes, the Whitebeard Pirates, who were closest to Bai Yu, shouldn't still be in the Totto Land Island area, making it impossible for them to rush to Wano Country to provide support, right?
