41: Blackbeard Teach and Beasts Kaido!

Kaido unleashed his entire Haki, suddenly pressing toward the direction the voice came from.

However, on that side, there was no great reaction.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Seeing the newcomer, Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said heavily: "Blackbeard Teach? You don't go seek revenge on the Straw Hat brat, but run to my territory to do what!"

Kaido had just read the newspaper.

He was fully informed of all major events that recently occurred in the world.

The Big Mom Pirates, and Blackbeard's subordinates, were all wiped out.

He did not expect Blackbeard to actually escape from the hands of the Straw Hat crew.

This made Kaido immediately regard him with new respect.

"I am here to discuss cooperation with you," Blackbeard said, neither humble nor arrogant.

He now hated the Straw Hat crew to the bone.

He had endured for so many years; after his ambition was exposed, he recruited soldiers and bought horses, and only with great difficulty had he accumulated this power.

Yet because of the Straw Hat crew, it all became bubbles.

How could this not make him hate them?!

But after experiencing the battle at Whole Cake Island, he completely understood the gap between his current self and the Straw Hat crew was exactly how vast.

So he chose to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

He could only wait until his strength was strong enough to return and take revenge on the Straw Hat crew.

Cooperation? Kaido sneered coldly, do you and I still need to cooperate?!

"Also, you have great courage; daring to break in here alone, aren't you afraid I will kill you?"

Kaido's face was somewhat cold, and in the eyes looking at Blackbeard Teach, killing intent was already full.

Hehe... Blackbeard Teach smiled and shook his head; the reason I came to find you is very simple: we both want to live.

What did you say!?

Correct! Blackbeard Teach nodded, looking at Kaido with a solemn face; we both want to live! I want to form an alliance with you!

We form an alliance?! Are you crazy!? Kaido scoffed; I have never liked allying with others; you should find someone else.

Kaido had no good feeling for this fellow named Teach.

Although he considered himself not a good person either, he also knew how Whitebeard treated his crew.

But Blackbeard still chose without hesitation to strike against his own companions.

Forming an alliance with such a person is no different than seeking fur from a tiger!

Moreover, Kaido had his own pride.

If Big Mom said she wanted to form an alliance with him, then he could consider it.

Big Mom, although sometimes her mind is unclear and she acts recklessly.

At least her strength is recognized by Kaido.

And what about Blackbeard?

Although the world blows him up to the heavens, Kaido does not understand his true strength.

In his view, Blackbeard's status is not equal to his own.

So there is no such thing as forming an alliance.

Thus, Kaido spoke: "You have fought the Straw Hat crew; how do you think their strength is?"

027 Hearing Kaido's words, Blackbeard Teach frowned slightly: The Straw Hat crew is indeed very powerful; if I had not escaped quickly, I fear I would have already fallen into their hands.

Kaido's lips curled slightly: Oh? How strong? Do you think I or they pose a greater threat to you?

Teach seemed to have expected Kaido to have such an attitude, and immediately laughed.

42. News of BIG·MOM!

"The Straw Hat crew is strong; you should also know that BIGMOM, who is a Yonko like you, has already been killed by them."

"Ask yourself, with your strength, can you kill BIGMOM and retreat unharmed? They can!"

Hearing this, Kaido's face gradually became Solemn.

Teach was a person who personally participated in that battle.

He has more right to speak than others.

If everything Teach said is true.

Then he really needs to prepare well; what if the Straw Hat crew comes to his territory, can he safely withstand it?

Kaido looked at Teach, lost in thought; should he really form an alliance with this fellow?

Teach did not urge him, just waited quietly there; one minute passed, two minutes passed... five minutes passed... ten minutes passed...

Teach, do you truly want to form an alliance? After all, the Whitebeard incident is still vivid in my mind; what if you stab me in the back at a critical moment, what then?

Teach was stunned; originally Kaido was worried about this.

Immediately, he hurriedly said: "Rest assured, my ambition has been exposed; the Whitebeard matter was completely done out of necessity; I waited bitterly for so many years just for that Devil Fruit; naturally, I must use any means to get it."

"Give me a guarantee; on what basis should I believe you!"

Kaido didn't buy it at all; an alliance was naturally his best choice right now.

But a man like Techi, kept close, was nothing but a ticking time bomb.

It could explode among his own people at any moment.

Kaido would rather face the Straw Hats alone, even if it ended in a crushing defeat—he could accept that.

But if defeat came because someone with ulterior motives sabotaged him from within,

he absolutely refused to see such a scenario!

Techi immediately said, "If the Straw Hats really come knocking, I'll go first! Now, do you still have any doubts? If even that isn't enough, then I'll just find a place to lie low—I'm a lone man anyway."

As he spoke, Techi looked at Kaido, his smile laden with hidden meaning.

"But you—your main base is right here, built up over so many years; if it's wiped out in an instant, even for you, such a loss would be hard to recover from in the short term."

"New powers are emerging everywhere; this is the most turbulent moment of world change."

"If your strength is weakened now, you'll soon end up just like BIGMOM—fallen from the rank of strongest creature, erased from the Four Emperors!"

Techi's analysis was sharp and precise; Kaido's expression grew darker and darker.

He was right—Kaido had his whole crew with him; he couldn't do what Techi could, simply vanish somewhere and wait for the right moment.

He'd already caught wind of the Straw Hats' general direction—they were heading for Wano Country!

Even with his toes, he could guess they were coming straight for him, Kaido!

"Lord Kaido, so what do you think?" Techi asked at last.

Fighting the Straw Hats, revenge was secondary.

He had no feelings for his own companions.

His main goal was the Straw Hats' vice-captain, Ma Di!

That mysterious man, though only vice-captain, was the core around whom every member of the Straw Hat Crew revolved.

Their strength had grown at an astonishing pace.

Techi suspected it was almost certainly because of Ma Di!

So, he could ignore the rest of the Straw Hats—but Ma Di, he had to capture and interrogate thoroughly!

This man held too many secrets.

If he could find out how Ma Di enhanced his companions' strength,

he could copy the method and, in a very short time, build another imperial-level crew!

42: BIGMOM is still alive

Kaido fell silent for a moment, then finally gave in.
