Chapter 218

"How long until World comes back?"

Kaido picked up his gourd and took another swig of sake.

"Soon,"

Gaston quickly replied, "The master said it wouldn't be later than an hour."

"Very good."

Kaido nodded in satisfaction.

World still respected him.

Gaston breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's good that Kaido doesn't intend to cause a major disturbance.

Everything will be alright as long as the owner comes back!

In the sky not far from the Dunas Kingdom, Naito, possessing World, was enveloped by an invisible shuttle and was speeding forward.

It was to be expected that the Dunas Kingdom would be exposed to the eyes of other powers on the high seas after this operation.

There was no need to worry about it; the Dunas Kingdom had long been so well-managed that it was like an impregnable fortress, and even agents under the World Government would likely find it difficult to infiltrate.

But why is Kaido there?

What does that guy want to do?

Is war about to break out?

If that's the case, then it's quite troublesome.

In his current state, whether in his original form or possessing World, he would probably be no match for Kaido.

However, of course, not being able to defeat him doesn't mean there's really nothing that can be done against Kaido.

We'll have to wait until we meet Kaido to find out the specifics.

Seriously, after being kicked by that guy Kizaru for so long, I just wanted to take a good rest, but he had to come and cause trouble for me.

Just you wait, Kaido. When I take over Wano Country, I won't hold back.

Naito's speed increased again, even leaving a white sonic boom cloud in the sky.

Since they were already quite close to the Dunas Kingdom, Naito quickly spotted the island.

Without much hesitation, Naito landed directly towards the royal palace in the center of the city.

At the same time.

"Hehehe! I've been waiting for ages!"

Kaido, somewhat drunk, raised his head, his body even swaying slightly.

The wine in his Hassaikai, which he always carried with him, was long gone, and there was a pile of empty bottles at his feet, all of which Gaston had given him.

In fact, Gaston was on tenterhooks the whole time Kaido was drinking.

If this monster were to go on a drunken rampage, the entire Dunas Kingdom would be in danger.

Fortunately, Kaido's alcohol tolerance is indeed top-notch; after drinking so much, he only looked a little dazed.

Of course, what relieved Gaston even more was that the Night King had returned!

Whoosh!

A dark shadow swept down, the displaced air surging and turning into a howling storm.

Naito stood calmly on the soft lawn of the courtyard, watching the drunkard in front of him still pouring alcohol from the bottle into his mouth.

"Kaido, showing up uninvited is not a good habit."

Yes, Gaban said something similar before.

But times have changed, how can they be confused?

"Hehehehe!"

Because of his drunkenness, Kaido's smile was inevitably a bit strange; it was almost a silly grin. "What nonsense are you talking about! I can go wherever I want!"

Are you Mundo?

However, it does have the same amount of meat as Mundo.

"Hoo-hoo, World,"

Kaido stood up, his eyes somewhat glazed. "You've been causing quite a stir lately!"

Clearly, in that era, he didn't even have the strength to warrant a second glance from him.

"You came all this way just to say this kind of thing?"

Naito raised an eyebrow. "Just say what you have to say."

"To be honest, it's because I'm not respected!"

Almost instantly, the drunkenness in Kaido's eyes dissipated, and his gaze suddenly sharpened. He staggered to his feet and, taking advantage of his height of over seven meters, looked down at Naito.

"You clearly have better stuff, so why do you only sell me those Artificial Devil Fruits?"

"..."

Gaston, standing nearby, felt a chill run down his spine.

Kaido, are you angry?

No way, what if a fight broke out here?

"Oh?"

Naito couldn't help but want to laugh.

So that's what it was about.

That's really quite funny.

"There seems to be something you haven't figured out, Kaido,"

Naito looked Kaido straight in the eye. "When I do business with you, it's not about selling you whatever I have; it's about what I want to sell you."

"You're the one who doesn't understand, World!"

Kaido's lips curled into a terrifying smile, a face so ferocious it could stop a child from crying at night. "Doing business with me isn't about what you want to sell, it's about what I want to buy!"

"I'm very interested in your behemoth army, name your price! I'll let you ask for whatever you want!"

That's definitely the style of pirates.

Naito reflected on his actions for a moment and realized that he had overestimated Kaido's moral bottom line.

They even said that no one would be an enemy of the great pirate World because of Wapol's Gluttony Devil Fruit User, but they were immediately proven wrong. Kaido didn't even know Wapol existed.

Wouldn't that make me look stupid?

"Terribly sorry,"

Naito's lips twitched slightly. "They're not for sale."

Actually, it wouldn't matter if a few of the giant beasts were sold to Kaido; it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

In the future war with the Beasts Pirates, a few giant beasts won't have much of an impact, after all, Yamato even persuaded Whitebeard to join the war.

But I'm really annoyed.

You can only buy what I'm selling to you. What's the point of you coming to me and forcing me to buy it?

Don't I have any pride?

Are you rejecting me?

The drunkenness in Kaido's eyes finally vanished, and his eyes instantly flashed with a fierce light.

Click!

A violent aura began to surge, and thick, domineering black and red Haki Inazuma leaped from his body, shooting straight into the sky.

The entire palace trembled instantly; the ground in the courtyard cracked, and the walls and stone pillars on the side crumbled.

The guards and soldiers near the courtyard instantly foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Even Gaston couldn't help but turn pale Return two steps back. What a terrifying Conqueror's Haki!

Naito narrowed his eyes slightly.

The sheer power of a high-level Conqueror's Haki that can cause physical damage simply by boosting one's morale is truly impressive!

Although conventionally, Conqueror's Haki should be used to counter it.

However, when possessing World, his Haki could only exert about half its power. His Conqueror's Haki might not be inferior to Kaido's, but in this situation, he shouldn't humiliate himself.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Naito remained unfazed. "Don't take yourself too seriously, Kaido."

There's no way I'd back down, otherwise Kaido would really be riding roughshod over me.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo! Very good! World!"

Kaido had already reached behind his back and pulled out his spiked club from somewhere. "I hope your bones are as hard as your mouth!"

A natural development.

If you can't reach an agreement with words, then use your fists.

"If this is how you treat your allies, then I really should reconsider our cooperation."

Naito's body slowly floated up. "But before that, if you want to fight, I'm ready. Come up to the sky."

Laugh!

An invisible projection enveloped his body, carrying him straight into the sky like a cannonball.

"Hehehehe! It's precisely because we're allies that I'm giving you a chance to repent!"

Kaido's body expanded instantly, covered in blue scales, and accompanied by howling winds, the enormous blue dragon snaked its way into the sky.

"Call--"

Gaston finally let out a long sigh of relief after the two figures soared into the sky one after the other.

The fight is really about to begin!

Lord Night King, your words must be true, right?

Naito flew high and far into the sky, completely away from the mainland of the Dunas Kingdom.

Here, no matter how much fighting there is, it shouldn't affect the Dunas Kingdom.

"World! I'll spare your life, and afterwards, we'll still be unbreakable allies!"

A colossal creature followed closely behind, its roar like thunder.

Naito did not answer, but slowly drew the long sword from his waist.
