One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 172

Jinbe didn't know what to say.

In terms of both strength and status, he is completely incomparable to these two.

I had no choice but to pick up my wine bowl and drink with them.

Kaido turned slightly to look at Jinbe and asked, "Your name is Jinbe, right?"

“Yes, Captain,” Jinbe replied respectfully immediately.

Kaido nodded slightly: "I've heard about you and your Fishman Pirates from Rayleigh."

With that, Kaido reached out and patted Jinbe on the shoulder: "Do a good job!"

Jinbe replied loudly, "Yes, I will not let you and Mr. Lero down!"

He is the kind of person who repays even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude, let alone the immense kindness shown by the Beasts Pirates to the Fish-Men.

Seeing this, the white-bearded man sighed almost imperceptibly, brought the wine bowl to his lips, and silently drank the wine.

He didn't just say he would take Jinbe as his son; he genuinely liked the young man.

Capable and righteous!

However, since Jinbe was a member of the Beasts Pirates, he had no choice but to abandon this plan.

He and Kaido had been partners on the Rocks Pirates' ship for many years and had a certain level of friendship.

He had absolutely no relationship with Lei Luo; at most, they were just acquaintances.

He didn't want to anger the "world's most dangerous criminal," and even if he didn't think about himself, he should at least think about his children.

Whitebeard's personality dictates that he wouldn't covet things that don't belong to him, and he quickly put the matter behind him.

After taking another sip of wine, Whitebeard casually asked, "Kaido, why aren't you staying in the Celestial Empire? What are you doing here?"

Kaido sighed deeply: "How boring!"

"I've been completely out of the loop since the Battle of Daze!"

"I don't know if those Celestial Dragons are too afraid to hold the hunting competition anymore, because Morgans can't get any information about it at all."

"Then I'll just have to come out and commit suicide."

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard laughed heartily and said, "Gurarararar... After you guys have done this, how dare the Celestial Dragons still hold hunting competitions!"

The Rocks Pirates went to God Valley for various reasons: some wanted Shakky, some wanted treasure, and some wanted Devil Fruits...

However, the Beast Pirates are a bunch of lunatics whose sole purpose is to kill the Celestial Dragons; the Devil Fruits seem more like a side benefit.

Whitebeard went to sea at a young age because of poverty and hunger, so he naturally knew the difficulties of these non-member states.

Although it had nothing to do with him, he still raised his wine bowl and said to Kaido, "Your Beasts Pirates have indirectly saved countless non-members."

"Come on, let me toast you, you bastard!"

When his elder brother offered him a toast, Kaido couldn't help but smile and clinked his wine bowl against Whitebeard's.

The two drank their wine in one gulp. Kaido put down his wine bowl, his eyes suddenly turning meaningfully towards Teach's direction. He asked with a smile, "Newgate, don't you think that little fat black guy's face looks a lot like someone?"

Whitebeard waved his hand and laughed indifferently, "No matter who gave birth to them, they are all children of the sea."

"And on this ship, the 'Moby Dick,' is my child!"

Chapter 257 1498

Kaido smiled and said, "Whatever makes you happy."

After that, he didn't say anything more, drank and ate heartily, and didn't stand on ceremony with Lao Bai.

Jinbe was stunned for a moment by Whitebeard's words.

After regaining his senses, he smiled and shook his head, then picked up the wine bowl and drank.

At that moment, he understood why so many people on the ship were willing to call this man "Dad".

What a charismatic and charming man!

The three of them drank and chatted casually...

After a hearty meal and drinks, Kaido burped, stood up, and said, "Let's go, Newgate."

"Hmm." The white-bearded man nodded slightly.

Kaido turned and left, not forgetting to call out to Jinbe: "Come on, Jinbe, let's go check out your ship."

Speaking of which, the Fishman Pirates are an affiliated pirate crew of the Beasts Pirates. Since they happened to meet today, as the captain, he naturally had to go and check on them.

"Yes, Captain." Jinbe replied and followed Kaido away from the "Moby Dick" and returned to his own pirate ship.

The fish-men did not disperse on the deck.

Although Marco said the Whitebeard Pirates meant no harm, they couldn't help but worry about their captain.

After all, they had absolutely no connection with the Whitebeard Pirates before.

They were finally relieved when a blue dragon appeared in the sky.

Everyone in the New World knows who the owner of this Devil Fruit is.

The Beasts Pirates are here!!!

Then what are they afraid of?

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were no longer worried, but excited and expectant.

The captain is here, there's no reason not to see them, is there?

They're also from the Beasts Pirates.

I've only ever met the first mate, never the captain.

Kaido landed on the deck with Jinbe, and the fishmen immediately surrounded him, their eyes filled with reverence, respectfully calling out, "Captain."

Kaido crossed his arms, scanned the group with his dragon eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Not bad, they all look quite energetic, although a bit weak."

One sentence silenced the fishmen.

Does this captain know that when praising someone, the crucial truth at the end can actually be omitted?

Kaido patted Jinbe on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of them. We'll have a chance to do something big together sometime!"

Jinbe nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Captain! I will make them into powerful warriors!"

Aladdin wanted to invite Kaido to join the banquet, but Kaido had already eaten and drunk his fill at Whitebeard's.

Kaido then transformed into a blue dragon once more and soared into the sky, continuing his suicidal journey...

The Fishman Pirates watched Kaido leave. After thinking for a moment, Aladdin asked, "Jinbe, where do we go next?"

Jinbe clenched his fist tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the sea, and said, "Let's continue to find stronger opponents to fight and improve our strength!"

"The Beasts Pirates have high hopes for us, and we absolutely cannot let them down!"

Upon hearing this, the fish-men responded enthusiastically, their fighting spirit soaring, and the pirate ship set sail...

On the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard watched Kaido's departing figure, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

Although it was just a simple exchange of blows, he could clearly feel that Kaido's strength was growing stronger and stronger.

It's important to know that after Shiki died, he also fought Kaido. The Kaido of that time and the Kaido of today are completely different people.

However, the white-bearded man's brows quickly relaxed.

He tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of wine, and couldn't help but sigh: Kaido and that guy named Raylo are both ambitious and powerful. What the Rocks Pirates couldn't do, perhaps the Beasts Pirates really can.

Marco approached Whitebeard and asked curiously, "Old man, what are you thinking about?"

Whitebeard put down his sake bowl, gazed intently into the distance, and laughed, "This ocean is so vast, it can accommodate countless people with ambitions and dreams. Our Whitebeard Pirates cannot stop our pursuit of becoming stronger."

Marco nodded heavily after hearing this and said solemnly, "Father, I understand. We will continue to improve ourselves and will never tarnish the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Whitebeard patted Marco on the shoulder. "Go on, tell everyone to prepare for a new challenge."

Marco accepted the order and departed, the "Moby Dick" once again brimming with fighting spirit and energy, continuing its voyage into uncharted waters...

Time flies by, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. It is now 1498 in the Haiyuan calendar.

That year, the Fishman Pirates encountered various powerful pirate crews, but the Fishmen, with their unwavering will and formidable fighting prowess, ultimately achieved victory.

With each victory against an opponent, their strength increased. Jinbe also continuously taught them, imparting his understanding of Fishman Karate to them, making their fighting skills even more proficient.

During that year, Kaido returned to the Celestial Empire several times, bringing back a few Devil Fruits.

Among them are Paramecia-type Devil Fruits: Barrier-Barrier Fruit and Castle-Castle Fruit.

Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Great Mouth God Form.

Elephant Fruit, Ancient Species, Mammoth Form.

Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Species, Saber-toothed Tiger Form.

Dog-Dog Fruit - Hyena Form.

As for Logia-type Devil Fruits, there are none.

But that's already pretty amazing. Lei Luo has no idea where this guy got so many Devil Fruits.

This year, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise will also host the quadrennial World Conference.
