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

Chapter 38 The Capone Family

After Kaido finished his speech, the Besel Kingdom was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, with ripples spreading outwards.

Large numbers of wealthy people who were not nobles began to flee en masse, taking all the money they could carry.

Countless companies that had established businesses on the island began to withdraw their investments and personnel.

Sensitive to the danger, they sensed the approaching war.

This island will most likely become a battlefield in the near future.

They didn't want to become cannon fodder on the battlefield, or have all their property destroyed by the war.

While there's still time, take everything you can.

Kaido did not intervene.

Because it was his personal promise that anyone who wanted to leave the island could leave freely within a month.

As a result, influenced by them, many civilians on the island also began to build their own small boats or rafts, carrying several days' worth of food, to travel to other islands.

Most of those who remained were either unable to leave, reluctant to leave their homeland, or simply nobles who had gathered together to await the arrival of Marine Headquarters reinforcements to compete with Kaido for the throne.

Under these circumstances, the Capone family managed to recall all their personnel scattered across the various kingdoms of the West Sea.

Moreover, after the manpower had been gathered, Capone Sonny directly ordered everyone to set off for the capital.

This was not because he wanted to avenge the dead nobles or start a war with Kaido.

Instead, they should take the initiative to lead their hundreds or thousands of subordinates to surrender to Kaido.

Such unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of countless people immediately.

Many nobles who remained on the island did not understand why Capone Sunny would make such an unwise decision.

In fact, many of Sonny's subordinates didn't understand either.

But their thought processes are very simple.

The Godfather has never made a mistake in his decisions, so he certainly won't make a mistake this time either!

No matter how outrageous this decision may be, they are willing to unconditionally trust the Godfather!

"Mommy, Mommy..."

Walking alongside Capone Sonny at the head of the large group of men in black suits, Charlotte Linlin looked at him with considerable curiosity.

What gave you the courage to ultimately choose to walk down the same dark path as us?

"If I don't do this, I'll be killed by Mr. Kaido!"

When faced with Charlotte Linlin's question, Capone Sonny shrugged nonchalantly.

"Of course, there can't be only one reason."

"Also because of your outrageous bounty and your status as a remnant of the Rocks."

"I've only ever seen bounties like yours in the newspapers. Now that this opportunity has come to me, there's no reason for me to miss it!"

"Moreover, Kaido's decisiveness in killing the king as he said he would also impress me!"

"This is not something an ordinary person can do!"

"In this world, it is only natural to fear the World Government and the Navy."

"Now that a truly exceptional man has appeared, I want to try and follow him."

"Failure is just death."

"But if I succeed, I will be able to gain benefits that no one can imagine!"

"And I'm willing to bet that you can survive the hands of a Marine Admiral!!"

"Mommy... Mommy..."

Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"You have good judgment. It seems there's a reason why Kaido wants to recruit you as a subordinate!"

The Kingdom of Bessel.

King's capital.

This once bustling capital city is now much quieter.

Most people who are capable of leaving have already left, or are preparing to leave.

Ignoring the passersby carrying large and small bags, Capone Sonny led thousands of Mafia members all the way to the square in front of the palace.

The heads hanging all over the city wall were all wrapped in a layer of solid ice to prevent them from decaying.

Looking at those terrified faces.

Capone Sonny quickly found his target—Rudolph Grace.

His former master, the absolute confidant of the King of Bessel, was thus silently hung in a corner of the wall of heads.

This suggests that Kaido most likely didn't care at all which head Rudolf Grace was.

He let out a long sigh, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Capone Sonny led his men onward toward the palace.

A dozen minutes later.

They saw the man sitting on the golden throne in the palace hall.

He was strong, imposing, bold, and domineering; just sitting there, he seemed to exude an air of looking down upon the world.

"Uro ro ro ro..."

Kaido's eyes swept over the large group of men in black suits who entered the hall.

"Sonny, how many people did you bring?"

"Reporting to Captain Kaido!"

Sonny bowed slightly in politeness.

"A total of 1557 people!"

"Hmm, this quantity is quite unexpected."

"Because these are limited to official members of our Capone family throughout the West Blue!"

Sunny said with some pride, "If you include the employees we've recruited in various industries in the West Sea, the total number can reach an astonishing 10!"

"Ugh, Sonny, I think you've misunderstood me."

"I don't think there are too few people; on the contrary, I'm surprised that so many people are willing to follow you and join my ranks!"

Kaido said loudly, "Have you all thought this through?!"

"Until today ends, Sonny remains your godfather! You only need to obey his orders!"

"But after midnight tonight, Sonny will become my subordinate!"

"And you will all become my subordinates as well!"

"If you still only obey Sonny's orders and not mine, I will definitely grant you death!"

"Are you all sure you've thought this through?!"

Whoosh!

The 1557 mafia members in the hall bowed deeply to Kaido.

"We believe in the Godfather's choice!!"

"Since even the Godfather is willing to become Kaido's subordinate, we are also willing to become Kaido's subordinate together!!"

"Please accept us, Mr. Kaido!!"

"Please accept us, Mr. Kaido!!"

……

After shouting three times in unison, Kaido finally smiled.

He rose from his throne and spread his arms to the sides.

Fiery red clouds began to spread throughout the hall, helping all the bent-over mafia members to their feet.

“I know that many of you are simply blindly following and trusting your godfather’s choices!”

"But whatever the reason, since you are willing to become my subordinates today, from this day forward, you are my brothers!!"

"All of you are founding members of the Beasts Pirates!!"
