Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 398 Kaido’s choice

No one is a fool. Before making a choice to side with the Peace Island Kingdom and completely turning against the World Government, these kingdoms were fully prepared.

An offensive and defensive alliance with sufficient trust has been established between them.

Not just a unilateral alliance with the Peace Island Kingdom, but also a deep alliance with each other.

Between kingdoms, in many fields, all aspects of exchanges and cooperation have been formed around the Peace Island Kingdom, so as to achieve mutual exchange.

Generally speaking, in terms of comprehensive national strength, it has been greatly improved compared to before.

Before the emergence of Peace Island, most of these kingdoms were scattered.

If there is communication, it is few and far between.

Even if some are able to be self-sufficient, they are only barely able to do so. As a result, the national strength is relatively average, the people are still struggling to make ends meet, and living conditions in all aspects are relatively poor.

The population is also relatively small, and the growth is slow or even reverse growth.

There are strong men in charge in the kingdom, and most of them are generals who are not at the peak level. Most of them can even be at the rank of candidate general, which is already good.

Despite this, he can only barely protect himself.

Surviving in a place like the New World presents many difficulties.

The harsh natural climate makes it difficult to go to sea and communicate with the outside world.

In this way, a kingdom can only survive on one island, or at most several adjacent islands.

There are only a few islands with clear seasonal changes and superior natural and geographical conditions.

Even if there is such an island, the area may not be vast enough.

If these conditions are truly met at the same time, it will first be occupied by a stronger force.

For example, several pirate emperors, the forces of the world government, and the underground kings of the new world.

Next are some powerful kingdoms.

This refers to a kingdom with a general-level powerhouse at its peak, but such kingdoms are undoubtedly relatively rare.

Because neither the World Government, nor the two pirate emperors except Whitebeard, nor the underground kings are willing to see such a kingdom exist.

There is no special desire, nothing more than interests.

Like the country of Wano, strong men at the general level are occasionally born, and there are also a group of lieutenant general level and a small number of strong men at the general level.

At the same time, it also occupies an island that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the natural and geographical conditions are quite good.

It is almost difficult to find such a kingdom in the New World, except for the Kingdom of Wano.

But it's not that there are none. Not to mention Elbaf, there are also some ancient kingdoms with similar inheritance.

It's just that most of them have declined. Occasionally, some monster-level geniuses can appear. If they hide well and grow up smoothly, they can protect the kingdom for decades.

In short, because of these reasons combined, the relationship between the kingdoms of the New World, or the countries that are not part of the World Government, is different.

Before Peace Island, it was difficult to establish a strong alliance with each other.

Not to mention that a strong alliance has been established around the Peace Island Kingdom as it is now.

With the help of the Peace Island Kingdom, these kingdoms not only transformed and upgraded themselves in all aspects, but also in all aspects.

At the same time, in order to have closer contact with each other, they used the fruit's ability and even invited the Golden Lion through Wang Hai to transform their land to varying degrees.

At first, Golden Lion was not interested in this kind of tool man thing, but it was not difficult for Wang Hai to convince him.

Just do what you like.

The Golden Lion's ambition was to rule the world. Even now, he still encourages Wang Hai and Whitebeard to overthrow the world government and rule the sea.

Even though he already knew that Wang Hai had a longer-term plan and would go to the sea of ​​​​stars in the future.

But he still couldn't forget the sea under his feet.

However, as Whitebeard became more and more powerful and steadily suppressed him, even Ananda came from behind and was almost on par with him, or slightly better.

Coupled with the many high-end military forces on Peace Island, almost no one is willing to support his ambitions.

By now, the Golden Lion has recognized the reality and no longer expects to rule the world by himself, but plans to assist Wang Hai.

However, Wang Hai doesn't have much interest in ruling this sea.

Not to mention rule by force.

Apart from ambition, what the Golden Lion likes most is to appear holy in front of others.

Therefore, Wang Hai gave his own preference and gave these allied countries a suggestion to give the Golden Lion various honorary titles.

For example, chief engineer, general consultant of kendo, king of one word, king of dance, best friend of the kingdom, etc.

In this regard, these kingdoms are eager to establish a closer relationship with the Golden Lion, and of course they will not refuse.

In any case, the Golden Lion is a legendary pirate, an exceptional level strongman, and now he has reached an exceptional level.

Just paying some honorary titles is nothing to them.

Even smart people have learned to draw inferences from one example and send some swordsmanship geniuses in the kingdom to learn swordsmanship under the Golden Lion, hoping to become Golden Lion's disciples.

Some people also know that Golden Lions like to dance, so they specially choose some beauties with dancing talents and good looks to send to their doorsteps.

Not surprisingly, the golden lion did not refuse again.

With his help, the territory of these kingdoms was more or less expanded, and the physical geographical conditions were significantly improved.

In addition, with the help of the golden lion, the kingdoms were not far apart and islands were moved to directly connect the kingdoms with each other.

Although they did not directly merge into a larger kingdom, communication with each other became more convenient.

Even if they are not connected by land, other kingdoms have established closer connections through the advanced ships and even aircraft provided by Peace Island.

In addition, although the communication of information is not as good as the Internet, it is not too bad.

Between each other, if something happens, they can call for support as soon as possible.

With such convenient transportation, even the most distant kingdom, the support it seeks can arrive within an hour.

When necessary, the Peace Island Kingdom will even provide long-range missiles and even mushroom bomb bombing support.

However, mushroom bombs are basically not used easily. Missiles are enough to solve the situation of a large number of enemy attacks.

As for the attack of the strong, it is difficult for long-range weapons to support it, so it can only be resisted by the strong.

If the Peace Island Kingdom or other kingdoms are not attacked, they can provide support as soon as possible.

Especially for the Peace Island Kingdom, with Ananda's speed, he can quickly support all allied countries in the New World.

It is such an offensive and defensive alliance system that makes it possible whether it is the New Pirate Alliance, the two Pirate Emperors, or the World Government.

There is nothing they can do against the Peace Island Kingdom and its allies.

I can only watch the Peace Island Kingdom continue to grow, and at the same time, it can also bring these allies to grow with it.

"As expected of Kaido, he made a wise choice..."

Wang Hai originally thought that at this time, if Big Mom and Kaido intervened in Wano Country, then he wouldn't mind fighting with Big Mom to settle the grudge.

As a result, Kaido contacted him as soon as the other pirates started taking action.

Express his willingness to obtain at least thirty pieces of pure gold through trading.

Although compared to the thousands of pure gold Wang Hai got this time, thirty portions is only a small part.

But in terms of the value of pure gold, Kaido is definitely a lion.

Of course, Kaido's bottom line shouldn't be that much. He quoted this amount directly just to make a better counteroffer.

In fact, I think three servings are enough.

One each for Kaido and Big Mom.

Although the two of them are still at their peak, they have not even reached the peak of their potential.

However, judging from the intelligence collected, Wang Hai estimates that Kaido still has a chance to continue to improve, but Big Mom is in trouble.

Over the years, Kaido has been collecting people with animal fruit abilities, and at the same time, he has been fighting strong people and even committing suicide.

It is to further develop the ability of the magical beast fruit, the Dragon Fruit, to make oneself even more powerful.

However, Kaido has taken a wrong path to a certain extent, which is not consistent with the majestic and righteous path of the dragon fruit's ability.

This left a hole in his psyche.

The development of fruit abilities is related to physical strength on the one hand, and mental will and imagination on the other hand.

Kaido is not lacking in the former. With his own monster-level talent, coupled with the transformation of the Shenlong Fruit, his physical talent is almost comparable to that of Wang Hai, who has mastered the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu.

That is, perfection among the top.

Moreover, Kaido has reached the top level in terms of physical fitness, coupled with the defense, various resistances, and recovery capabilities brought by the fruit's ability.

It can be said that his own talent, coupled with the ability of a divine dragon fruit, in terms of physical fitness alone, are equivalent to Wang Hai practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu, plus the Golden Bell Cover, Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and the Everlasting Eternal Spring Kung Fu.

Of course, the power of the Dragon Fruit does not seem to make Kaido immortal.

But there is no doubt that if the Shenlong Fruit is developed to the top of the top, in terms of physical fitness, it will be almost equivalent to Wang Hai having mastered four martial arts.

Of course, the golden bell is more focused on domineering body defense and is not fully included.

However, Wang Hai also knew that Kaido's development of the Dragon Fruit's ability had almost reached a bottleneck.

The development progress is almost half of the top level.

Later, Kaido did not have a golden finger like him and it was difficult to continue to improve.

According to the original plot, Kaido's strength did not exceed the level of the Pirate Emperor even when the protagonist went to sea.

In other words, it is at the ceiling level at most.

Compared with the original version of Whitebeard, it is equivalent to replacing the strongest attack with the strongest defense.

This defense is somewhat different from Auntie's.

Because of the fruit's ability, Kaido not only has strong defense power, but also has the ability to regenerate at an almost super-speed.

This was the reason why it was difficult for the navy to kill him after catching him.

In comparison, Auntie's defense focuses more on the skin, which is why it is called the Steel Balloon.

Because when Kaido was planning to seize the country of Wano, when facing Kozuki Oden, he did not use a frontal kill, but resorted to some strategies.

In the end, some were defeated by force.

Although Wang Hai already knew, it was not that Kaido was not sure about killing Kozuki Oden head-on, but because he was worried that if he did so, he would give the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates and even the Roger Pirates a reason.

They used the reason to avenge Kozuki Oden to join forces to attack him.

In order not to give both sides a reason, he deliberately joined forces with the Black Carbon Orochi, and even resorted to conspiracy, just to make the death of Kozuki Oden turn into an internal fight in Wano Country.

In this way, it would be inappropriate for the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates to intervene without Kozuki Oden asking for help.

This can be regarded as the default rule among pirates.

To put it simply, even if it is a crew member on a ship, if a crew member encounters trouble due to personal matters, it may even be a life or death crisis.

But as long as the crew member does not take the initiative to ask for help from his companions, then his companions cannot take the initiative to help.

Because once you help, it will be an insult to the rescued crew member to some extent.

It may be difficult for normal people to understand, but for pirates, reputation is sometimes more important than life.

In short, in the matter of seizing the country of Wano, Kaido not only used conspiracy, but more importantly, in the process of using conspiracy, he actually identified with Kozuki Oden.

As a result, conflicts arose in my heart, leaving certain flaws.

For the strong, the development of domineering is closely related to the will of the soul.

If there are loopholes, they will inevitably have some impact.

Not only that, the development of the Dragon Fruit, at the level of awakening, is also related to the will of the soul.

In short, Kaido's strength has slowed down a bit over the years.

Otherwise, with his talent, he might have already reached the ceiling level.

Considering Kaido's age, after reaching the peak, Kaido himself probably knows that it may be difficult for him to continue to improve after he reaches the ceiling level.

By then, it will only be able to maintain its peak condition for 30 to [-] years at most.

This obviously does not satisfy him. In this way, only pure gold can keep him at the top.

By maintaining his peak and not declining, he would have enough time to slowly polish his spiritual will.

If there is a flaw in the mind and will, it is not impossible to solve it.

Especially for a monster-level genius like Kaido, as long as he is given enough time, he has a great chance of coming out.

In fact, Auntie also faces the same problem.

In fact, Big Mom's mental flaws are more serious than Kaido's.

Under normal circumstances, he is a kind aunt, but when angry, he does not recognize her relatives.

It can be said that the aunt is like a schizophrenic patient.

If not, with her talent, if she didn't keep having children, her strength would be among the Pirate Emperors, and she might be able to compete with Whitebeard to be the strongest in the world.

Because she has been giving birth to children non-stop since she reached the age, and she also likes to eat sweets, the aunt's physical condition is obviously not at its peak.

However, even this can still earn her the title of Steel Balloon. In terms of defense, she is tied with Kaido for first place in the sea, which shows how powerful her talent is.

In comparison, it is not only easier for her to reach the peak than Kaido, but also difficult to continue to improve after reaching the bottleneck of strength.

Most likely there is no way to maintain such peak strength for a long time. Kaido can maintain it for 30 to [-] years, but she will decline rapidly in just a dozen years.

Even because of her mental illness, her strength fluctuates.

Once targeted, even with general-level strength, there is a chance to defeat her.
