Hearing that his vice-captain already had a plan, Kaido didn't say anything more and continued drinking his sake.
At that moment, Jin, who was on the watchtower, flew onto the deck. His eyes were grave, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kaido, Mr. Rayleigh, a World Government warship has been spotted ahead of our course, and..."
"The Celestial Dragons' ship!"
Chapter 18 He thought of the evil cultivator's method of awakening Conqueror's Haki.
"Oh? Should we turn around?" Quinn, who was at the helm, asked, a cigar dangling from his mouth.
Despite asking the question, Quinn's tone was full of disdain.
He looked down on the Celestial Dragons, but he knew how troublesome it would be to offend them, yet he still looked down on them.
Upon hearing this, Kaido, who was drunk and reclining on the dragon's head, immediately became displeased. He jumped onto the deck and arrogantly retorted, "Why?"
"You think I'm some mere Celestial Dragon? Move your ship closer!"
Lei Luo sighed and facepalmed.
He said that the reason Jack was so arrogant was because he inherited Kaido's traits.
That's truly a fine tradition of the Beasts Pirates.
Kaido suddenly realized that he had been too hasty in his decision; the Beasts Pirates also had a vice-captain.
He then walked up to Lei Luo and boasted about his heroic deeds from back then.
"Lei Luo, you don't know, don't be fooled by their high and mighty status as Celestial Dragons. Back in God Valley, they were slaughtered like dogs by our Rocks Pirates. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Stussy picked a grape and fed it to Lei Luo, chuckling as he agreed, "Yeah, just a bunch of scum."
You Rocks Pirates are awesome, aren't you!
Of course, Lei Luo wasn't afraid of the Celestial Dragons, but as stated in the first chapter, he wasn't interested in defeating the Celestial Dragons or liberating slaves.
They are still in the startup phase, and it would be quite unwise for them to be targeted by the Navy and the World Government at this time.
However, upon seeing Jin's body trembling slightly despite his efforts to remain calm, and his hand unconsciously gripping the longsword between his legs...
Lei Luo's lips curled up, a playful glint in his eyes.
An eight-hundred-year-old feud?!
The fact that King doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki has always been a headache for Raylo.
"The qualities of a king" are innate. In the original work, Jin didn't have Conqueror's Haki even at the age of forty-seven, so he probably didn't have it.
However, Lei Luo knew a way for evil cultivators to awaken their Conqueror's Haki!
Lei Luo smiled and nodded. "You're the captain, so it's your decision."
Kaido grinned maliciously: "Orororororo... Queen, speed up!"
Quinn exhaled a puff of smoke and steered the "Azure Dragon" forward at high speed.
Jin stared wide-eyed in disbelief. They really were a bunch of crazy, lawless bastards!
Not only did King discover the enemy warship, but the CP agents on the warship also discovered the Beast Pirates.
Despite not recognizing the skull and crossbones flag, the agent dared not underestimate the enormous "Azure Dragon" and immediately ran to report to the Celestial Dragon Saint Isolde.
"Reporting to Saint Isolde, a huge pirate ship has been spotted ahead. Should we...?"
The agent was at a loss for words.
Asking the high and mighty Celestial Dragons to step aside? What's the difference between that and slapping the Celestial Dragons in the face?
But the enemy was coming on strong, and if they didn't give way, they didn't know how many people were on such a huge pirate ship.
Once war breaks out, guns and cannons have no eyes. If Saint Isolde suffers even the slightest injury, none of the people on these ships will survive.
Before the CP agent could finish speaking, Saint Isolde, riding on his tall "mount," was already enraged.
The whip in his hand lashed out at the CP agent, who dared not dodge as the whip struck his face without mercy.
Instantly, flesh and blood were mangled, and blood flowed freely from the wound.
The CP agent didn't even dare to cry out in pain, and hurriedly knelt down in fear and trepidation to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Saint Isolde."
Saint Isolde snorted coldly, "Let the warships sail over there. I want to see who's not afraid of death."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the "mount" below had a strange glint in its eyes before quickly lowering its head.
What are you thinking? How could anyone dare to offend a Celestial Dragon? Even if someone did, how could they possibly be a match for these few warships?
Moreover, if a Celestial Dragon is attacked, a Marine Admiral will intervene.
Saint Isolde seemed to sense something and, without thinking, lashed his "mount" with his whip.
The "mount" was in pain and let out a wild beast's howl.
Saint Isolde wore a twisted yet satisfied smile.
This is his favorite mount; it's not a giant, but it's nearly six meters tall.
Later, he specially found a Devil Fruit and fed it to the mount.
Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit - Lion Form.
After transforming, the mount becomes even larger.
However, he didn't like the idea of his mount turning into a lion; what difference would that make from riding a lion?
He likes to transform his mount into a human-beast form and then ride it to show off to other Celestial Dragons.
The mount gritted its teeth, daring not to utter a word of anger.
I never imagined that my tall stature would become the root of all evil.
Just because she caught the eye of a Celestial Dragon, her parents died a violent death, and she and her sister were reduced to slavery.
If it were just me alone, how could I bear such humiliation? Even if I couldn't kill the Celestial Dragon, I would still bite off a piece of his flesh.
But I have a younger sister, so I can't act impulsively.
As his younger sister grew older, his pain intensified. He knew all too well what the Celestial Dragons were, having endured years of slavery.
Can my sister really escape the clutches of the Celestial Dragons?
The mount lowered its head in despair.
Saint Isolde lashed out with his whip again, mocking, "You lowly mount, do you think someone will come to your rescue?"
"Hahahaha, don't even think about it. Just thinking about it is enough to know that you're dreaming. Who would dare to offend the noble Celestial Dragons?"
As he spoke, Saint Isolde nearly went mad, laughing as he whipped his mount.
This damned mount actually has such a rebellious idea.
Even just thinking about it is wrong; thinking about it is a crime, and one should be punished!
The mount let out a series of lion roars and painful howls.
This is what Saint Isolde demanded: pain can be cried out, but it must be cried out with the roar of a lion.
In no time, the mount was covered in wounds and its flesh was mangled.
Saint Isolde didn't care at all. Ever since he fed the Lion Fruit, his mount had become very resilient and recovered quickly.
After defeating the slaves, the outline of the "Azure Dragon" was already visible in the distance before Saint Isolde.
Looking at the enormous pirate ship, a deep greed resurfaced in Saint Isolde's eyes.
That's a huge pirate ship! I want one!
He immediately called over the CP agent beside him and ordered, "Pass the word down: kill the people on the pirate ship, but don't damage it. I want this ship."
This is preventing us from firing the cannons, forcing us to risk our lives to fill the gaps!
The CP agent felt bitter, but dared not disobey Saint Isolde's orders. He could only nod in agreement and then turn around to relay the orders.
"one two three."
"Three warships, and a Celestial Dragon's cruise ship."
Kaido and Leylo stood at the bow of the ship, smiling as they looked at the warship and the Celestial Dragons' cruise ship in front of them.
There was no reverence in their eyes, only arrogance and conceit!
"Hey, Quinn!"
Kaido shouted at Queen, "Perfect timing to test your specially made cannon."
Quinn, cigar in mouth, chuckled and replied, "No problem, I'll show you its power!"
The dragon's mouth slowly opened, revealing the pitch-black muzzle...
Chapter 19 Evil Cultivation Still Works
The dragon head cannon of the "Azure Dragon" quickly charged up, and a thick energy beam shot out, heading straight for the leading warship.
One shot, just one shot!
A warship was instantly engulfed by an energy beam, and a violent explosion resounded across the sea, sending debris flying everywhere.
"Oh lo lo lo lo lo..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Kaido, Leylo, and Queen's arrogant laughter rang out almost simultaneously.
Immediately, the sounds of dragons roaring and snakes hissing arose, deafeningly loud.
The Azure Dragon and the Soaring Serpent rose up amidst the mist, their enormous bodies blotting out the sky and the sun, causing even the wind and clouds to change color.
Everyone on the remaining two warships and the cruise ship looked up at the sky in horror!
"What...what kind of monster is that?"
"Dragon? Snake?"
The Azure Dragon and the Soaring Serpent raised their heads, and scorching flames began to gather in their ferocious maws, which then shot out two pillars of fire.
Flames streaked across the sky, sweeping towards the two warships like two fire dragons.
Wherever it passed, the air became scorching hot.
The warship was powerless to resist and was instantly engulfed in flames. After a violent explosion, it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Saint Isolde turned deathly pale and remained stunned for a long time.
They really...they really did it?!
The three warships were destroyed instantly, leaving only his cruise ship.
How dare they, mere pirates!
The ascent of the "mount" revealed undisguised horror in its eyes; this time, it seemed there really was... hope.
"Quinn, bring the ship closer!" Qinglong shouted to Quinn below, then leaped towards the Celestial Dragons' cruise ship.
"Jin, come with me!" Tengshe flapped its wings and followed, calling out to Jin.
“Yes, Mr. Lei Luo!” Jin spread his wings and flew after him.
Such a short distance, it can be covered in an instant.
In the air, Kaido's eyes flashed with a light, wondering what he had discovered.
A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.
Another "beast".
Kaido, in human form, landed first on the deck of the cruise ship, followed closely by Rayleigh and King.
The CP agents on the field immediately surrounded the three of them.
The skull and crossbones flag on the "Azure Dragon" was newly drawn by Lei Luo, and the CP agents didn't recognize it.
Kaido wasn't just starting out; he had already made a name for himself in the Rocks Pirates, and he also knew Rear Admiral Raylor, who had a bounty of 500 million.
The CP agents, who were only standing around and dared not go up, instantly angered Saint Isolde, who roared impatiently, "What are you all standing there for! Get them!"
