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

Chapter 184 The World Martial Arts Tournament, Kaido's Conditions

New world.

Saiken Island.

This is one of the three magma islands in the new world of Eed Point.

It is also an island affiliated with the World Government, but no naval base has been established on the island.

In addition, this island is the third island on Kaido's chosen route, and also the location of the World Economic News Agency.

The four officers who originally belonged to the World Pirates.

Bingjack, Najenda, Guy Ram, and Sebastian had arrived on the island several days earlier.

He is currently with the Beasts Pirates.

When Kaido descended from the sky with Bondi World, they immediately came to greet him.

"Wald!"

Are you alright?!

Bound by the sea stone shackles, Wald was powerless.

However, when he saw the four members of Bingjack, the anger of being betrayed in the past surged up in his heart instantly.

"Don't come any closer! What are you doing here, pretending to be all sympathetic!"

“Wald…” Bingjack looked distressed. “It’s all a misunderstanding. Let me explain.”

"Misunderstanding? What's there to misunderstand! Didn't you order Najenda, Guyram, and Sebastian to escape? Did I say anything wrong?!"

“Wald… there was no other way at the time. If I hadn’t done it, we would all have ended up in Impel Down together…”

Bingjack tried his best to explain, but unfortunately, Wald was still angry and wouldn't listen.

"Hmm, can't you handle it? In that case, should I take over?"

Kaido threw two metal keys in front of Wald, and at the same time, he took out the Eight Precepts, which were specially used for training.

Click... Click...

Kaido twisted his neck, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.

"The best way to deal with this kind of stubborn, argumentative guy is to beat him up!"

With Bingjack's help, Wald freed himself from the sea stone shackles.

He looked at Kaido with a defiant expression and slowly stood up from the ground.

"I never said I needed you to save me!"

"But you hung my flag before you were arrested."

Wald gave a soft snort, not showing much resentment, but rather looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Hehehe, I'll give you a chance."

"After you've eaten and drunk your fill and your injuries have healed, I'll give you a chance to fight me one-on-one."

"If you can force me to use my Devil Fruit ability, then you win."

"After that, I will set you free, and you will no longer need to fly my flag."

"But if you fail, you will be the captain of my fleet, and you will have to follow many of the rules I set, or I will kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Wald showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

Are you serious? You're not lying to me?

"Hmph, if I wanted to kill you, I would have just ignored you. Your crew members are my people too, why would I go to all that trouble to bring you back?"

"Fine! You said it yourself!!"

Wald's trust in everyone has plummeted to rock bottom; he now sees everyone as a treacherous subject plotting against him.

But Kaido is the only exception.

Because Kaido was the one who truly rescued him from the Navy.

Even if the initial intention was to uphold the dignity of their own flag, they did manage to save him after all.

Although Wald wouldn't admit it, he still felt indebted to her.

Therefore, the promises Kaido has made so far are the only things he can trust.

………………

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Wald's injuries have been completely healed thanks to Naichen's treatment and the nourishing hot springs unique to Seken Island.

On this day, the Beasts Pirates arrived at the beach on the back of the island.

Wald and Kaido each stood on one side, while the rest of the group surrounded them, watching the battle with great anticipation.

Do you think Wald can win?

"We definitely can't win; Captain Kaido is invincible!"

"I'm not talking about defeating Captain Kaido, I'm talking about winning the bet! Can World force the captain to use his Devil Fruit ability?"

"This... is probably possible?"

"Didn't you all see what happened when Wald fought against Lady Olga and the others?"

"Back then, even with so many of them joining forces, they only managed a pyrrhic victory against Wald. Captain Kaido may be invincible, but surely he wouldn't be so incompetent as to not even need to use his Devil Fruit power..."

"Hehe, since that's the case, I'll bet that Wald won't win the bet. If I lose, I'll treat you to dinner next time. Are you coming?"

"Bring it on! A little betting is harmless, it's just a meal, who's afraid of who!!"

on the beach.

Wald looked at Kaido with a serious expression.

Although he had already vaguely sensed the gap between himself and Kaido before.

Especially after defeating Sengoku, Wald became even more aware that Kaido was indeed an opponent he could not defeat.

but……

"You're really underestimating me by only forcing me to use my Devil Fruit power, Kaido!!"

"Uro ro ro ro..."

Kaido looked at Wald with a relaxed smile.

"It's not just because I look down on you; there's something else I want to experiment with."

In the previous battle with Sengoku, Sengoku broke through the enemy lines and mastered the ability of "Seeing and Killing".

Is this a coincidence, or a special buff bestowed upon the name "Kaido" by the world's will, which Kaido wants to test?

After all, the principle behind the creation of Devil Fruits is the fulfillment of faith and wishes.

Therefore, it is not entirely impossible for some people, or rather, for someone to gain certain special hidden characteristics after eating certain fruits.

Kaido, the teacher of the Hundred Gifts, jokes aside, if he really had this buff, he would actually think it would be pretty good.

At least, this buff is really useful when educating future generations and subordinates.

Wald didn't understand what Kaido wanted to experiment with, but he knew that he was indeed looked down upon.

"You brat!!"

Wald cursed inwardly.

Back when he and Rocks were competing on the high seas, this kid was just an intern!

The more Wald thought about it, the angrier he became.

When did I become such a loser?!

Covered in Armament Haki, Wald clenched his right fist.

"Today! I, Bundy Wald, will prove myself!!"

"Momo - 100x Speed!!"

With a single stomp on the sand, terrifying power surged into the earth, and the sand was in the process of exploding and expanding. Wald had already appeared in front of Kaido.

boom!

With a single punch, the sand where Wald had been standing exploded, and a muffled thud echoed from Kaido's body.

Kaido's foot trembled as he stepped on the sand.

He looked down at Wald.

"That's it?"

They didn't even use Armament Haki, let alone dragon scales.

Wald's fist pressed a fist mark into Kaido's shirt, making it look like he hadn't eaten at all.

Wald clenched his teeth.

"Damn it! Damn it!!" (Not yet! Not yet!!)

Having failed to land his first punch, Voldra created distance and began circling Kaido at high speed on the beach.

"Momo - 100x Speed!!"

"Momo - 120x Speed!!"

Wald's speed increased even further during this process, and apart from Moria, Enel, and Olvia, who had awakened Observation Haki, Wald was no longer visible at all.

Even some people who have just awakened their Observation Haki cannot detect Wald at all.

With his massive fist clenched, Wald once again charged at Kaido from the front.

This time, Kaido did not allow Wald to attack at will.

He swung his right arm in a wide arc, then spun his body around.

The right arm swings simultaneously with the forward step of the right foot.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

Black and red lightning crackled around the spiked club, and before Wald's fist could strike Kaido, it struck Wald's forehead, which was covered in Armament Haki.

call out--!

Wald's tall figure shot off the beach like a meteor.

The airflow generated by the body breaking through the air created a long, deep trench on the beach.

At last.

Wald crashed into a huge boulder, smashing the entire boulder into a spiderweb of cracks.

His body was deeply embedded in the mountain rocks.

"One...one hit...and he's done for?!"

The surrounding Beast Pirates were simply incredulous.

"That Wald... he was defeated in a single blow..."

After a brief silence, a feeling of excitement was instantly injected into the brains of the Beast Pirates.

"That's incredible! Absolutely incredible!!"

"Captain Kaido is invincible!!"

"Invincible! The strongest!!"

"The strongest in the world!!"

The Beast Pirates cheered excitedly, and Kaido also smiled.

After the verification just now, he has confirmed it.

I now possess the same fighting power level as when I fought Luffy in the original timeline.

In fact, he was even better in terms of physique and endurance in combat.

"Hey, hey, go bring Wald back and treat him while you're at it."

"Next, it's about time we set sail from this island."

“Until the new ship is built, Naiqin, you and the others will come with me.”

Naichen and the rest of Wald's men nodded blankly.

Before the battle began, they all knew that Wald was no match for Kaido.

They even agreed with the idea that Kaido could defeat World without using his Devil Fruit powers.

but……

To everyone's surprise, Kaido actually killed World with just one strike...

"This level of strength..."

Bingjack felt a deep sense of despair.

Fortunately, Guyram didn't say anything at that moment.

"Fortunately, we are now with the Beasts, otherwise we would probably have had to abandon Wald and run away again this time."

Upon hearing this, Bing Jack seemed to wake from a dream.

Yes, we're already part of the Beasts now. The stronger Kaido gets, the better for them!

However, this also prevents them from causing as much destruction as they want.

But at least, safety is indeed guaranteed.

……

When Wald slowly woke up, the first thing he felt was the swaying sensation of the seawater rising and falling beneath him.

Next, there was the unfamiliar yet familiar ceiling of the infirmary.

Where...is this place?
