Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 229 Roger finally arrives, and the promise with the Golden Lion.

Dunch's defeat was just the beginning.

In the years that followed, pirates would occasionally assume that the Beasts Pirates were not qualified to set rules for them, thus becoming punching bags and experience packs for the Beasts Pirates' apprentices.

In one battle after another.

The Beast Trainees continuously gained combat experience, while also demonstrating their formidable strength to the pirates of the New World.

Gradually, the names of the Beast Trainees began to be sung among the pirates on the island.

The Devil's Descendant—Douglas Barrett!

The Flame - Ashes!

The Substitute Witch – Ginny!

The Hand of Destruction—Bartholomew the Great Bear!

Thor Enel!

These interns, who were not particularly well-known before, have all received new titles.

Before the actual martial arts tournament began, their dazzling brilliance even overshadowed the radiance of Captain Kaido.

Of course, the prelude can only be considered a prelude.

The date was April 24th, 1493 in the Sea Calendar, the day before the deadline for registration for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament.

A giant ship flew in from the sky, causing all the pirates on the island to break out in a cold sweat.

"Hehehehehe! Kaido brat! Has that bastard Roger arrived yet?! I came here specifically for him!!"

The arrogant laughter of the golden lion echoed across the sky.

A terrifying, domineering aura, seemingly capable of crushing the entire island into the sea, descended from the sky, causing countless pirates on the island to instantly roll their eyes back and foam at the mouth.

As Sakazuki and his entourage stood on the second-floor corridor of a hotel, they all felt as if a heavy mountain had been placed on their shoulders when this domineering aura descended from the sky.

The weakest of the three, Gion and Kake, couldn't help but kneel down on one knee.

"This...this domineering aura..."

"Conqueror's Haki..."

"Isn't that terrifying!"

……

"Uro ro ro ro..."

As a result, before Gion and Kake could even adjust, an even heavier aura of dominance was released and spread from the center of the island.

"Old lion, you're trying to intimidate me right from the start. Are you trying to test my strength?!"

A massive azure dragon soared into the sky from the center of the island, releasing a sky-blue aura of dominance from its body, which collided with the golden aura of dominance released by the golden lion in the high sky.

The terrifying black and red lightning shattered the clouds and tore the sky apart. Countless pirates of similar strength, such as Gion and Kake, had their eyes rolled back and collapsed unconscious.

Even the Sakazuki trio couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and let out a soft groan under the impact of this terrifying and domineering aura.

"This is the true... domineering aura of a top-tier expert..."

Kuzan endured the oppressive force of the clash between the two powerful auras, while his eyes burned with fierce flames.

"Mr. Sengoku and Mr. Garp are usually quite kind to us."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he let out a cold snort.

"They're just a bunch of lawless scoundrels. Give me a few more years to grow, and I'll bring them all to justice, one by one!"

boom!

The domineering light shields that collided fiercely in the sky exploded after being squeezed together for a while, turning into countless domineering ribbons of cyan and gold that floated gently in the air.

This round of probing and clashes has ended in a draw for now.

The golden lion stood at the bow of the flying giant ship, gazing at the divine blue dragon soaring in the sky.

As one of the parties involved in this clash of power, he knew very well that Kaido had definitely held back.

Of course, he didn't use his full strength.

However, Kaido, who was nothing but a nobody in front of him back then, has now grown to this level. The complex feelings in Shiki's heart are indeed hard to describe in words.

"Hehehehe..."

"Since Roger hasn't arrived yet, I'm not going to waste my time with you. Add my name to the list. Tomorrow I'm going to have a life-or-death duel with Roger and see who wins!!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh, as you wish!!"

Kaido chuckled softly, and just then, a giant ship resembling a giant white whale gradually approached the port through a waterway left on the ice field.

"Gurararara! Old Lion, Sashiburida na!!"

A second familiar voice rang out.

Whitebeard, holding the Murakumogiri sword and wearing a captain's coat, stood at the bow of the ship, his strong chest and abdominal muscles exposed, radiating an overwhelming aura of dominance.

The pirates, who had just barely withstood the Haki of Kaido and Shiki, once again uncontrollably knelt on one knee.

Just then, a second pink, imposing light shield suddenly appeared on the island.

It collided with the pure white aura of domineering light released by Whitebeard.

Sizzle!

The black and red lightning generated by the collision and friction of their powerful auras shattered the glass and destroyed the buildings, leaving even more vice admiral-level pirates unable to withstand the attack and causing them to collapse to the ground.

"Mommy! Whitebeard, it's been so long since we last met!!"

A mature and charming female voice rang out from the island, and a bewitching and alluring figure slowly rose into the air, stepping on a white cloud.

“Lingling…”

Whitebeard uttered a soft voice, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress over the years!"

"Mommy, Mommy! I shall be number one in the world at this martial arts tournament!!"

Charlotte Linlin's red lips curled up, and despite being a woman, she still exuded an aura of unparalleled ambition and dominance.

"Gurala la la..."

The white-bearded man also grinned slightly.

"Even if you encounter Kaido as your opponent, are you determined to defeat him?"

"Mommy!"

Charlotte Linlin remained unaffected by the provocation and instead responded with a powerful counterattack.

"If it were an internal battle between me and Kaido, it would definitely be the final! You would all be beaten to the ground by me and Kaido!!"

"Gulalalalala..."

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard burst into laughter, his domineering attacks becoming even more powerful.

Charlotte Linlin also laughed, and the domineering aura she released was no weaker than Whitebeard's, and perhaps even slightly stronger.

boom! !

With a loud bang, the light shield shattered.

Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin tacitly stopped the fight.

The real competition is tomorrow; there's no need to take it so seriously now.

As their duel came to an end, a second voice began to emanate from Whitebeard's ship.

"Kaido!! Do you remember me?!"

Kozuki Oden, still wearing his shabby kimono with two swords at his waist, appeared behind Whitebeard.

The Azure Dragon in the sky looked down upon hearing the sound.

"Hehehe, isn't this Kozuki Oden? What? You want to win back Wano Country from me?"

Kozuki Oden gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his left hand, his entire body surging with killing intent.

"You haven't forgotten the promise we made back then, have you?!"
