Chapter 183 The Clever Oden
Chapter 183 The Clever Oden
After some debate, Kaido and the Five Elders eventually compromised and reached an agreement.
The Five Elders can release Bondi World back to Kaido, and the World Government's official newspaper will publicly acknowledge Kaido's victory over Sengoku.
In exchange, Kaido needs to return the Prodens royal family to China and move an uninhabited island to make up for the land area destroyed by the Prodens Kingdom.
a few days later.
Fifteen days have passed since the great battle in the Kingdom of Prodines.
A huge shadow slowly approached from the sky.
The Prodians, who had gradually returned to normal life, stared blankly up at the sky.
"They actually... moved an entire island here..."
Fiery red clouds coiled around a huge island, and from the ground up, the island's size seemed to be about the same as the Prodens Kingdom before its destruction.
A giant azure dragon hovered above the island.
Under his control, the island ceased flight.
Then, his enormous dragon head pressed down from the sky.
Where is the person I want?
Garp and Zephyr were already waiting on the island with their team.
Upon hearing this, they gestured, and Bondi Wald slowly walked out, dragging the shackles made of sea stone.
His current condition is not very good; after all, he is a prisoner.
It's not too bad, at least the parts are all there.
"Ugh, untie the sea stone shackles on his body!"
"This won't do, Kaido!"
Karp stuck out his little finger and picked his nose.
"Wald is a madman. What if he launches an indiscriminate attack?"
Zefa, standing beside him, added, "We can give you the key, but unlocking it is definitely not an option right now."
Upon hearing this, Kaido realized that Garp and Zephyr's concerns were justified.
To be honest, he didn't really want that madman, Wald.
But he did hang his own flag before.
His arrest was a slap in the face to himself.
To preserve the dignity of his flag, Wald must be saved.
"Then do as you say, give me the key, and I'll fill this island into the sea."
A fiery red cloud spread downwards from the sky.
Despite Wald's resistant gaze, while enveloping him, they also took two keys from Karp's hand.
Then, the island that Kaido had been holding aloft began to slowly descend and eventually sank into the sea.
Based on the foundation of the previously destroyed Prodines island, it borders the remaining Prodines kingdom.
Thus, the transaction between the two parties was successfully completed.
Kaido, in his Azure Dragon form, flew away with Wald in his arms.
Garp and Zephyr did not give chase.
It's not about keeping promises.
Rather, Kaido's current physical condition is definitely better than when he defeated Sengoku.
Even if they made their move at this moment, they wouldn't have an absolute guarantee of capturing Kaido.
The key point is that once they do this, there will be absolutely no room for maneuver with Kaido.
In the future, if Kaido causes another major incident that requires negotiations between the two sides, Kaido will no longer have any trust in them.
As for the Prodens royal family mentioned in the previous transaction, they were found on the island Kaido left behind and are currently undergoing physical examinations by some Navy medical personnel.
………………
New world.
An unnamed island.
As the Golden Lion read the newspaper article describing the Prodens Kingdom's trade, white smoke billowed from his cigar.
"Hehehehe, Kaido, that kid, he's got some skills."
In fact, he had already been paying attention to the matter long before the news of Kaido defeating Sengoku spread throughout the New World.
He had initially thought it was fake news, so he only kept it in mind and didn't really believe it.
Now, subsequent events have occurred, and Garp and Zephyr have made a deal with Kaido, which has finally convinced Shiki that Kaido defeated Sengoku.
"Old Sengoku is getting old, he can't even beat that brat Kaido."
Golden Lion tossed the newspaper aside and looked at his large number of subordinates.
"We're a bit short-staffed."
He wasn't referring to a lack of basic personnel, but rather a lack of high-end combat capabilities.
He had gradually come to realize this over the years during his struggle with Roger.
Despite the large size of the Flying Pirates, they almost never won a battle against Roger, except in naval combat.
As for naval battles, Roger would often find a gap in the encirclement and slip out when the encirclement was about to be completed.
Therefore, over the years, Golden Lion has truly harbored a love for Roger that he could not have.
Every time, it was just a tiny bit more, just a tiny bit more, and Roger would have been his.
"Admiral!"
Just then, one of Shiki's subordinates suggested, "Don't you think Kaido would be a perfect fit?"
"Since he's only recently entered the New World, let's invite him to join our Flying Pirates. He'll definitely agree!"
Upon hearing this, Golden Lion drew his flintlock pistol and pointed it at the subordinate's forehead.
"I don't want to hear that stupid thing again!!"
As he spoke, Golden Lion moved the muzzle of his gun horizontally, almost touching his subordinate's ear as he pulled the trigger.
boom!
The bullet left the barrel and embedded itself in the wall.
The loud noise of the gunshot made the subordinate's ears ring.
"Admiral...?!"
"That brat Kaido..."
Golden Lion turned to his subordinates and explained with a smile, "I used to be a comrade-in-arms with you."
"If I wanted to recruit him, I would have done so back then."
"So, anyone who says the same stupid things as this idiot can just die!!"
………………
New world.
On a certain route to Wano Country.
A seagull selling newspapers spotted a ship with a whale's head and immediately flew down to its destination.
"Oh~ Oh~"
"Hmm? A seagull? And it's carrying a bag full of newspapers? Oh, it's a newspaper seller."
Intern Marco discovered the strange seagull, and after a series of misunderstandings, he finally understood why the seagull was there.
After spending 20 Berries to buy a newspaper, Marco quickly ran back to the main deck.
"Dad! A new newspaper! It's the World Economic News!"
"Huh? The World Journal?"
With long, blue-purple hair and a voluptuous figure, Whitey asked curiously, "Isn't this the tabloid that recently became popular? How did you manage to buy their newspaper?"
"It's a seagull! A seagull!"
Marco briefly recounted the story of the newspaper-selling seagull.
Then, he opened the newspaper and began to read the news aloud.
"Kaido brat actually traded back that madman, Bundy World?"
Upon hearing Marco's reading, Whitebeard was immediately taken aback.
He was certainly not unaware of the name of Bundy Wald, the World Destroyer.
He even once considered adopting him as his son.
But after learning about Wald's deeds, Whitebeard abandoned the idea.
Although he was very indulgent towards his sons, he allowed them to burn, kill, and plunder as long as they did not harm their fellow passengers.
At least his sons are normal people.
No, to be precise, the Whitebeard Pirates at that time were not as large as they were later.
The Whitebeard Pirates currently only have one ship, and the crew members were basically recruited by Whitebeard one by one, so their morality has not yet deteriorated too much.
It wasn't until later, when the Whitebeard Pirates began to establish sub-teams and their own pirate crews, that things really changed.
All sorts of shady characters started to appear.
"That shouldn't be the case. Knowing Kaido as I do, he wouldn't like someone like Wald."
After listening to Marco's reading and after some thought, Whitebeard finally understood what Kaido had gained from this matter.
"That kid is trying to prove the truth of his defeating the Sengoku period!"
"Gurarara, saving Wald was just a side effect; making a name for himself was his ultimate goal!"
The white-bearded man picked up the huge wine bowl and took a sip.
"Sure enough, this kid is still the same shrewd little devil I remember."
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, the crew on the ship were immediately shocked.
"Dad! Tell me, is it true that Kaido defeated Admiral Sengoku?"
"Of course it's true! Aren't there photos?"
Whitebeard said matter-of-factly, "You guys don't actually think that's fake news, do you?"
"No, that's a Marine Admiral!!"
"Gurararara, so what if you're a Marine Admiral? Are you that strong?"
The members of the white team fell silent for a moment, but then they became excited and agitated again.
Since joining the Whitebeard Pirates, they had always known that Whitebeard was strong, but they didn't really know just how strong he was.
Because Whitebeard could defeat any opponent in one move, no one had ever seen him fight seriously.
What does it mean that Whitebeard now shows such contempt for the Marine Admirals?
This shows that Whitebeard had already defeated the Marine Admirals long ago!
Thinking of this, the members of the White Team couldn't help but feel excited.
"Dad... he really is the strongest!!"
It is no coincidence.
Roger's crew also saw the two major things Kaido had done recently.
But their attitude was much calmer.
reason?
Very simple.
The Roger Pirates are currently in a state of confusion, like headless flies.
They had already arrived at Narcissus Island, but there was still no clue about the final island.
Until recently, Roger received information from somewhere that the information about the final island might be related to the Red Road Poneglyphs.
So recently, they have started searching everywhere for intelligence on the Red History Texts, as well as crew members who might be able to translate ancient texts.
Unfortunately, progress has been slow.
Neither the intelligence from the official historical records of the Red Army nor the translators had any clues.
Roger certainly knew the true history of Fishman Island.
But precisely because I know this, I'm not in a hurry to go.
Because currently, apart from him, probably no one else knows the value of that thing, so it's never too late to go.
Aside from the red Poneglyphs on Fishman Island, the only information Roger currently knows about the Red Stones is that the Rocks Pirates once possessed one.
Then, through Wang Zhi, Roger learned that the red stone had actually been taken away by Kaido.
Roger put down the newspaper and stroked his chin.
"Should we go see Kaido?"
"He took away the official documents of the Red History back then, so he must have known something about it, right?"
