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

Chapter 226 Extra 5

P.S.: I'm having a procrastination episode, so I'm taking a break. I'll be revising the main text in the early hours of the morning.

Chapter Four: Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol.

Kaido's overall combat strength of 99 is the result of his consistent training since he was two and a half years old.

The overall intelligence value is 105, mainly due to the education in the previous life and the doubled soul strength bonus after transmigrating.

With a comprehensive command value of 96, the source knowledge also comes from the previous life, and the theory was verified through practice on the battlefield, which led to the current value.

Kaido's combat, intelligence, and leadership stats look high, and they are indeed quite high.

However, since they have only been fighting against non-member states all these years, they have not seen any of the familiar faces from their memories.

This makes Kaido unsure of his current level.

Fortunately, Major General Nick answered his question.

Although Kaido was unaware of Rear Admiral Nick's specific rank.

However, as the commanding officer of a warship, one's starting rank is at least colonel.

This means that Kaido's current strength has at least reached the level of a Marine Rear Admiral.

Using naval positions as a basis for classifying strength is inaccurate.

After all, promotions in the Navy are mainly based on merit, and are not absolutely related to actual combat effectiveness.

There are also some lieutenant generals and major generals in the headquarters who are only good at commanding operations, or who have risen to their positions purely through seniority.

But Kaido really didn't have anything better to refer to.

With that thought in mind, Kaido closed his attribute panel and, under the tense gazes of the marines on his left and right, pushed open the banquet hall door with a slight effort.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as he opened the door, Kaido saw Vodka IV and the four naval officers laughing heartily.

After giving the king a perfunctory bow, Kaido strode over and sat down in the lower right seat without any hesitation.

"What's making you so happy?"

Seeing Kaido's utterly disrespectful attitude, a hint of displeasure flashed in Vodka IV's eyes, but on the surface, he still laughed and said:

"We were just talking about your future, Kaido!"

"You often say that the current battlefield can no longer allow you to continue to grow stronger, so I've been discussing with Rear Admiral Nick about applying for you to go to the Navy Headquarters for further training."

"Just now, Rear Admiral Nick, on behalf of the Navy and the World Government, has agreed to my request."

"We were just celebrating that your long-cherished wish has come true!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Kaido was somewhat surprised; the guy sitting opposite him was actually a Rear Admiral from the Marine Headquarters, not a Colonel!

'So, does this mean I've already reached the strength of a Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters?!'

Kaido reached for a bone and a piece of meat, tore off a large chunk, and chewed it with relish, muttering as he spoke:

"So, the king really has my best interests at heart."

"Hahaha, of course! You are the strongest warrior in our country! You are the pride of our Kingdom of Woka!"

"As the king of the Kingdom of Woka, how could I not think of you?"

"If you join the navy and become a naval admiral in the future, our kingdom will be proud! Hahahaha..."

Kaido nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and continued eating.

Vodka IV's smile froze, but he had expected this scene.

He gave the head maid next to him a look, and she immediately stepped forward, picked up the bottle of fine wine, and opened it for Kaido.

The purplish-red liquid was poured into a silver goblet, its surface shimmering with an alluring color.

The unique aroma of the fine wine began to permeate the dining table, subtly overpowering the fragrance of the delicious food.

Major General Nick, sitting opposite him, looked fascinated and took a deep breath.

"Romanée-Conti, Grand Cru red wine, 10-year vintage!"

"Produced in the Kingdom of Romanée-Conti, each bunch uses only the finest grape, and it is made by treading on the feet of the top ten beauties in a 16-year-old beauty pageant!"

"Just one bottle costs over 300 million berries! It's a truly top-tier wine!"

Kaido, who was rapidly devouring the food on the table, interrupted without looking up, "You like it? Then you can have it."

"No no no!"

Major General Nick waved his hand in refusal, looking flattered.

"This fine wine was specially bestowed upon you, General Kaido, by His Majesty the King. How could I possibly steal it from you?!"

Kaido sneered inwardly.

Are you embarrassed to drink? Or are you afraid to drink?

"Hahaha... Major General Nick is right!"

King Vodka IV chimed in, "This is a farewell drink that I have specially prepared for General Kaido. General Kaido, please do not find it offensive and have a taste!"

"It will also let me know whether this famous wine, which sells for 300 million Berries a bottle, is truly worthy of its reputation!"

Vodka IV eagerly urged Kaido to drink.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the image of Kaido fainting and being taken away by the Navy, and then the domineering scene of himself attending the World Government meeting.

He no longer cared about, or perhaps forgot, the so-called dignity of a king, and was only focused on coaxing Kaido into drinking and being drugged.

But, as the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. How could Kaido possibly fall for such an obvious trap?

While eating, he replied indifferently, "Sorry, I'm a minor and can't drink alcohol."

These words were spoken with confidence and self-evident certainty, yet they left everyone in the banquet hall momentarily stunned.

Minor...

You can't drink alcohol...

click!

It seemed as if someone had accidentally bitten into a hard bone; faintly, one could almost hear the sound of teeth cracking.

Vodka IV's face turned ashen, and all the enthusiasm he had been putting on vanished.

He reverted to his usual arrogant and domineering manner.

"Whether I drink or not is indeed not important, but Kaido, I think you need to give me an explanation regarding whether or not I'm joining the Navy!"

"Explain?"

Kaido swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Vodka IV with a cold smile.

"In this matter, it seems you never consulted me at all?"

"What explanation do I need to give you?!"

A murderous glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of the enraged Vodka IV.

"My king!!"

"You are my general!"

"Is this how a general speaks to the king?!"

Suddenly, the entire banquet hall seemed to plunge into an ice cave, with the temperature dropping to freezing point.

Rear Admiral Nick and three naval captains were ready and waiting for Vodka IV's order.

However, Kaido, the target of the attack, showed no fear whatsoever, and even seemed to want to laugh.

king?

The one who possesses the greatest violence is king!

Now not only does the army obey my orders completely, but the entire nation regards me as their faith, and I am still the strongest in the kingdom. What kind of king are you?!

However, Kaido is not in a hurry to turn against them yet.

Because he had just sat down at the table and hadn't eaten yet.

So he deliberately gave an ambiguous answer.

Did I say I disagreed?

Chapter Five: So What If I Play You?

These ambiguous, seemingly conciliatory words startled Vodka IV, who was already prepared to fly into a rage.

Giving up?!

Kaido actually chickened out?

This was something Vodka IV had not anticipated.

He has always been wary of Kaido's military power, and he always speaks to Kaido in the most amicable way possible.

They were afraid that if they angered Kaido, some unspeakable things might happen.

Now that he's chosen to take a tough stance, Kaido has suddenly softened?!

This delighted Vodka IV as if he had discovered a new continent.

So even you, Kaido, fear the authority of the monarchy!

For a moment, even Vodka IV was reluctant to hand Kaido over to the Navy.

After all, a super combat force that he can actually control is far more valuable than a vague future general.

Unfortunately, he had already betrayed Kaido.

In his view, the opportunity to attend the World Conference was far more valuable than Kaido's military strength.

Rather than losing the big picture for small gains, it's better to risk offending the World Government and keep Kaido alive.

It would be better to continue the deal with the World Government and hand Kaido over to the Navy.

In this way, he could not only obtain a place to participate in the World Conference, but also regain control of the military.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Vodka IV felt a little regretful, but that was all.

Taking a deep breath, Vodka IV continued to maintain his imposing posture.

"In that case, you should go to the navy and study there!"

"I will prepare the best supplies for you before you set off."

"As for money, is 1000 million Berries enough? If not, I can give you another 1000 million Berries!"

"If there are any other needs, please feel free to raise them. As a general of my Kingdom of Woka, I will never be stingy with my treasures!"

Vodka IV's words sounded quite grand and dignified.

But in reality, he was still somewhat worried about angering Kaido.

After all, Wang Jukai has been afraid of him for a long time!

In addition, Kaido did not drink the bottle of wine that he had carefully prepared.

If a fight breaks out, even the smallest damaged parts of the banquet hall would be worth far more than 2000 million peggs and some so-called supplies for the voyage.

Kaido did not reply.

He pretended to be deep in thought, but silently grabbed some food from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Vodka IV and Rear Admiral Nick frowned, patiently awaiting Kaido's answer.

They all shared the same thought: if they could avoid using force directly, it would definitely be best not to use force.

Finally, Kaido stopped what he was doing after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

The head maid reached out and very considerately handed Kaido a towel to wipe his mouth.

After wiping the grease from his mouth, Kaido let out another burp.

His series of actions made Vodka IV frown frequently, but he couldn't easily lash out.

Because Kaido, now that he's full, is definitely stronger in combat than he was when he was hungry.

"Vodka IV..."

Kaido casually said, "While I haven't said I disagreed, it seems... I've never said I agreed either."

"Do you think I'll obey your orders just because you're acting like this?!"

Kaido's gaze shifted to the golden throne beneath Vodka IV's buttocks.

"You don't actually care about just a broken chair, do you?!"

"What did you say?!"

Vodka IV was already seething with anger because of Kaido's dawdling, and now, hearing Kaido say that, he opened his eyes wide in fury.

"Kaido, you bastard! You're playing me for a fool?!"

Kaido grinned, revealing two rows of large, white teeth that gleamed with a chilling light.
