Chapter 4 Kaido: Rocks, Quick, Burst Gold Coins!
Kara, kara...
Kaido twisted his neck.
"Kill you?"
"No! I don't intend to do that."
"You bastard, although you've done a lot of things that annoy me, the only thing we're really on the same page is slaughtering Celestial Dragons!"
"So I'm here to ask you for your inheritance!"
Kaido extended his large hand without any hesitation.
"Give it to me!"
"Whether it's your wife and children, whose whereabouts you don't know, or gold and silver treasures, or any other kind of treasure."
"While you can still breathe, hand it over to me right now!"
"I will definitely accept any offer and gladly give it a try!"
Kaido grinned, revealing two rows of large white teeth, his smile so shameless and brazen.
"Hahahaha..."
Rocks, with his long, wild, dark red hair, laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"You little bastard, you've got some nerve, trying to mess with my woman, Rocks!"
"That kind of thing..."
"How could there be?!"
The domineering aura of black and red exploded with a roar, and the atmosphere seemed to turn dark red as a result. Dark clouds churned in the sky, and one could vaguely see dark red rain falling from the sky.
Kaido knew, of course, that it was all just an illusion.
It's just because Rocks' domineering aura is too heavy and solid.
When he simply released his domineering aura over a wide area, the viscous aura looked visually very similar to rain falling from the sky.
Feeling the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increase from one mountain to two, Kaido let out a soaring dragon roar.
The dark blue-black Conqueror's Haki defiantly withstood Rocks's black and red Haki rain as it emanated from Kaido.
This domineering aura first transformed into a protective shield, safely encasing Kaido within it.
Then it slowly transformed into the shape of a dragon's head, roaring angrily at Rocks in accompaniment to Kaido's dragon roar.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Rocks laughed maniacally.
"Finally passed! You brat!!"
Zi la la!
Black and red lightning bolts exploded continuously as the two domineering forces collided.
Suddenly, with a soft "pop," the two domineering light shields burst like bubbles.
Illusory fragments of foam drifted and burned randomly in the air.
The bluish-black and dark red colors are mixed together.
Although Kaido is not as good as Rocks, in terms of Conqueror's Haki alone, his Conqueror's Haki strength is already enough to barely contend with Rocks.
"Want my inheritance? Here you go!!"
Rocks took off the coat that had been "stuck" to his shoulder and threw it directly to Kaido.
Kaido took the coat and immediately put it into his system inventory without even looking at it.
The highly intelligent system instantly separated the coat from another item in the coat pocket and stored them in two separate backpack compartments.
[Item: Lox's Coat]
[Details: This coat, worn by the legendary pirate Rocks, offers excellent warmth and protection against the cold. Its classic and stylish design makes it highly collectible.]
[Item: Unnamed Permanent Pointer]
[Details: A permanent pointer pointing to an unknown land; the destination may hold the legacy of Locus.]
Kaido glanced at the information on the system screen, then turned it off with a thought, refocusing his gaze on Rocks and grinning broadly.
"Giving away so readily, could it all be scrap metal?"
"Hahaha... You'll find out what it is yourself!"
Lox laughed arrogantly, his tone seemingly tinged with a hint of satisfaction.
"I really think highly of you, you brat!!"
"Hahahaha..."
Hearing Rocks' laughter and sensing the deeper meaning behind his words, Kaido let out a soft snort, and his breath turned into two plumes of white smoke that spewed from his nostrils.
"Old man, who are you trying to impress with that pose?!"
"Do you think that by talking like that you can call yourself my godfather or master?!"
"Don't even think about it!!"
His memories of his time with the Rocks Pirates flashed through his mind.
He was walking normally when he was stunned by a sudden burst of Conqueror's Haki because he stepped on his left foot first.
He was beaten up because his sweat reflected sunlight during his training.
In battle against the enemy, because he only used a spiked club and no other weapons, he was swept away by sword energy.
One by one, one by one...
Kaido clenched his fists in anger, his arm veins bulging.
"You bastard, all those disgusting things you've done, the fact that I haven't teamed up with those two bastards over there to kill you is all thanks to my magnanimity!!"
"Hahahaha..."
Rocks laughed wildly, as if Kaido wasn't even cursing him.
After laughing, Rocks turned to look at Roger and Garp again and said, "So, which one do you want to be your opponent?"
"Humph!"
Kaido exhaled two more puffs of white vapor from his nostrils.
"Of course it's that bastard Roger!!"
"I'll give you 10 minutes!"
Lox bowed slightly, and the entire atmosphere seemed to tense up with his movement.
"You'd better run for your lives in 10 minutes!"
"I don't need your hypocritical pretense, you old geezer!!"
With a roar, Kaido shot out before Rocks could react.
Azure lightning burst forth from between the dragon scales, running down his arm and coiling around the jet-black spiked club.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
The towering blue dragon-man, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, swung his club at Roger, but Roger showed no fear whatsoever.
He gripped the knife in one hand, stomped his left foot heavily on the ground, and black and red lightning suddenly erupted.
The Supreme Grade Sword Ace delivered an upward slash from below, yet it struck first despite being attacked later.
He directly deflected Kaido's hammer and sent him flying with a crescent-shaped slash that pressed down on Kaido's chest.
"Gods, dodge!!"
Roger chuckled as he uttered the name of the move, but Kaido had already transformed into a shooting star and flown away.
"Roger! You fucking want to die!!"
Seeing Kaido being cleaved away by a single blow, Charlotte Linlin immediately flew into a rage.
Without thunderclouds, she simply lifted her foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
The terrifying force blasted a huge crater in the ground, and she herself charged towards Roger like a giant pink cannonball.
"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Nation!!"
Charlotte Linlin wielded her greatsword, unleashing a massive pink shockwave.
Roger then brought his rapier down with a downward slash.
"Gods, dodge!!"
The black and red crescent-shaped slash forcefully split the pink shockwave in two.
And he forcefully stopped Charlotte Linlin's charge by pressing against the greatsword she was holding in front of him.
Charlotte Linlin stomped her feet on the ground, let out a delicate shout, and simultaneously pushed her arms upwards.
It took almost all his strength to send Roger's slashing projectile flying into the sky.
Boom!
The thick, dark clouds were cleaved open, creating a chasm that looked as if Roger's strike had split the sky in two.
Charlotte Linlin breathed slightly, turning her gaze away from the sky, her expression showing more seriousness than anger.
"The gap is so huge..."
She has competed with Rocks, Whitebeard, and others in terms of Conqueror's Haki before.
In the past, the competition was all about area-of-effect release, that is, the collision between powerful light shields.
The difference wasn't very noticeable back then.
Now, having truly clashed with Roger in a real fight, she finally realized it.
How lazy I have been in the past!
No wonder Kaido often says she's wasting her talent; she could be stronger than everyone else, but she's unwilling to work hard and just relies on her natural talent.
"Now! I know the difference!"
"Roger! You bastard, get ready!!"
"Gods, dodge!!"
