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

Chapter 88 Duel Invitation

In the West Blue today, if you were to ask who has the most resounding name and who is the most well-known strongman among the people of the West Blue, without a doubt, it would be Kaido!!

Therefore, the moment he stepped into the tavern, the once noisy and bustling tavern fell silent in an instant.

"Azure Dragon..."

"The King of the Dragon Kingdom..."

"Captain of the Beasts Pirates..."

"The strongest creature in the Western Sea..."

Each of these titles points to only one goal!

"Kaido!!"

Everyone in the tavern shouted out this name in unison.

Even young people who are entitled to sit alone at a table are no exception.

However, unlike the pure awe and fear felt by others, his eyes also flickered with a flame called ambition.

"The strongest in the West Blue! Kaido the Azure Dragon! If only we can defeat him!"

Moria instinctively reached for the hilt of the knife leaning against the table.

"Uro ro ro ro..."

However, Kaido seemed completely oblivious to his little tricks.

After entering the tavern, he led several women straight to his table.

Squeak!

Kaido's enormous 7-meter-tall body shrunk to about 2 meters in everyone's eyes as he sat in the chair.

The women he brought in also sat down in the remaining empty seats without any politeness.

"Hey hey hey, let's share a table, you don't mind, young man?"

"Hehehe! Of course I don't mind!!"

Moria's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"You are the strongest in the West Blue! The King of the Dragon Kingdom! The Captain of the Beasts Pirates! The Azure Dragon Kaido!!"

"It's my honor to share a table with you!!"

"Hmm... So, would you be interested in becoming my permanent table-sharing partner?"

Kaido looked at Moria with a smile.

This kid is only 16 years old now, full of vigor and muscle, completely unlike the onion-like appearance he had in the original timeline.

If I can subdue him now, I might be able to cultivate him into a general-level powerhouse in the future!

As a veteran Shichibukai from the original timeline, he was able to clash head-on with Kaido, who was 36 years old at the timeline, and was not instantly killed. He was a strongman who was evenly matched with him!

Moria's potential is not low.

However, after the battle with Kaido, his spirit was completely shattered, and he became as dejected as an onion.

This situation is not unique to the world of One Piece, but it's also possible in the world of Kaido's previous life.

If a person loses their spirit and becomes decadent, they will also become a useless person.

As for the issue of talent ceiling and actual ability.

Again.

Having this upper limit doesn't mean you can develop it and turn it into your actual mastery of the skill!

Kaido has identified quite a few people so far.

Among them are outstanding figures such as Korin, Sengoku, Roger, and Whitebeard.

They haven't actually fully realized their talents yet; they've only successfully developed over 95% of them.

This shows just how difficult it is for a person to fully realize the potential of their talents.

……

Inside the tavern.

Kaido's invitation immediately sparked heated discussions among many people.

"They actually sent out an invitation!!"

"Moria is so lucky!!"

"To be noticed by Kaido the Blue Dragon, Moria is going to be rich!!"

……

However, the whispers among the people in the tavern did not shake Moria's resolve.

"You're inviting me to join the Beasts?!"

"That's right!"

Kaido nodded slightly. "A young man as outstanding as you, I long for you to become my subordinate!"

"Hehehe, what an honor!"

Moria laughed excitedly, "But I choose to refuse!!"

"reason?"

Kaido wasn't surprised by Moria's rejection, but he was more interested in knowing the reason.

I challenge you!

Moria gripped the scabbard of his greatsword tightly.

"You claim to be the strongest in the West Sea! I want to know just how big the gap is between you and me!!"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, what's the price?"

Kaido laughed and said, "Once the battle begins, a victor will inevitably be decided!"

"The loser can't just walk away without paying any price, right?"

"If I lose, I'll join the Beasts Pirates!!"

Moria countered, "And if you lose? What will the price be?"

"Hmm, how about I become your subordinate instead?"

Kaido looked at Moria with a broad smile.

The young man in front of him lit up completely when he heard these words.

"Are you serious?!"

"With so many people listening, if I break my promise, wouldn't I lose credibility throughout the entire Western Sea?!"

"Hehehe! The bet is settled!!"

As those words fell, the entire tavern was silent for a second before a loud bang nearly lifted the roof off.

"Kaido has accepted Moria's challenge to a duel!!"

"This is amazing!!"

"And the stakes are incredibly high!!"

"Quickly! Spread this message! Let everyone on the island know!!"

Soon, news of Kaido's bet to duel with Moria spread like wildfire throughout Kanan Island.

Just then, the shop owner, his hands trembling, came to Kaido and the others with a menu in his hand.

"Please...please order..."

"I'm not picky about food, just bring me all the good food and drinks you have here!"

Kaido looked at Moria.

"You don't mind if we eat our fill before we fight, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind!"

Moria stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, "I'm not actually completely full yet!!"

Several tens of minutes later.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Kaido and Moria slowly walked out of the tavern.

Outside the door, countless onlookers had already gathered to watch the show.

This even included the commander of the naval base on the island.

"Hey hey hey, you've come at the perfect time!!"

Over the years, the Beasts Pirates have been highly active in the West Blue, which has led Kaido to get to know many of the commanders of the Marine bases.

He grabbed Captain Dean, the naval officer from Guannan Island, from the crowd.

"You will be the referee for this duel between me and Moria!!"

"Is...is it really possible?!"

Dean was somewhat flattered.

But seeing that Kaido didn't seem to be joking, he quickly got back into action.

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill this responsibility!"

After saying that, he stood directly in the center of the field.

The surrounding onlookers also voluntarily made way for a large open space.

Kaido and Moria each walked towards a spot in the air.

Moria held the scabbard of a large sword in his left hand, while Kaido's hands were completely empty.

"Hehehe, there are no restrictions on the use of weapons in this duel. Aren't you going to use a weapon?"

"Hmm, I don't think it's necessary."
