Chapter 370

He looked at Diqi and said in a deep voice, "An alliance is possible, but you must do as you said: if those Straw Hat brats really show up, you must take the lead."

Hearing this, Diqi grinned, "Of course. Then it's settled, Lord Kaido. From now on, we are allies."

Kaido nodded in agreement.

"Then, Lord Kaido, as an ally, I'll tell you one extra piece of news. Perhaps, for you, it will be a surprise."

Blackbeard Diqi smiled mysteriously.

His words instantly sparked Kaido's interest. He grabbed a wine jar, took a huge gulp, wiped his mouth, and asked, "What news? Spit it out! Once you're done, get lost and don't disturb me while I drink!"

Diqi didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point: "BIGMOM very likely did not die!"

The words made Kaido instantly smash the wine jar in his hand onto the ground. His pupils trembled violently as he grabbed Diqi by the collar and lifted him up.

"What did you say? Linlin, she might not be dead?!"

For Kaido, this was earth-shattering, excellent news.

According to the people under his command responsible for intelligence gathering, the BIGMOM Pirates had been wiped out, just like Diqi's Blackbeard Pirates.

If BIGMOM is still alive now, she is, like Diqi, all alone.

There is nowhere for her to go.

If they could pull BIGMOM into the alliance as well...

... then their chances of dealing with the Straw Hat crew would be even more certain.

Blackbeard's current strength might still be slightly inferior to that of the veteran Emperors.

But if you roughly calculate it, he can still be counted as Emperor-level.

Add him and BIGMOM to the mix, and his side would possess three Emperor-level powerhouses!

"Whoa, whoa, Lord Kaido, don't get so excited. I just said 'possibly,' you understand? Possibly!"

Diqi patted Kaido's hand, signaling him to let go.

The current Diqi, aside from those two freaks of the Straw Hat crew, feared no one among the Emperors.

Even if the opponent was Kaido, the Beasts, known as the strongest creature in the world!

Kaido loosened his grip slightly but still frowned at him. "What exactly do you mean? Say it all at once clearly. I have no time to play your roundabout games!"

He was increasingly annoyed with Blackbeard.

Especially his way of speaking, which Kaido disliked very much.

"At that time, Big Mom only fell into the Magma Hell; her life or death is unknown. You understand? As an Emperor, I believe everyone has great fortune."

"Such a small disaster, I believe BIGMOM will definitely survive!"

Diqi had great faith in the aspect of luck.

This was also his principle of conduct.

For any matter, for any person, just boldly do what you want to do. As for whether it can be done or whether it will fail, leave it all to Heaven to judge!

As the saying goes: Life and death are determined by fate; wealth and rank are granted by Heaven!

If he really died just like that, it would only mean he was merely such a man!

BIGMOM is the same. Since she was able to resist all enemies in the world and ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the Sea...

... her luck must not be bad.

After all, even the strongest person has moments of weakness.

If BIGMOM had bad luck, she might have kicked the bucket during her weak period.

How could she have lasted until her era of strength?!

"Those words you speak do make sense." Regarding Blackbeard's words, Kaido surprisingly agreed quite a bit.

Actually, speaking of it, his personality is very similar to Blackbeard's.

To achieve his goals, he stops at nothing.

Ruthless and cruel!

Killing innocent people indiscriminately is, for Kaido, nothing more than a daily occurrence.

"Do you have a way to find Linlin?"

43. Sima Di VS Zoro!

Kaido asked again.

Diqi shook his head. "No. That place is too deep. Even a Logia-type fruit user like Ace could not enter."

"You might not know that although it is called Magma Hell, it actually contains quite a lot of ocean elements."

"For Devil Fruit users like us, once we enter, our abilities will be restricted."

Hearing this, Kaido sighed.

"What a pity. If Linlin were here, our chances of victory would at least double."

Just as the two were talking, a pirate from the Beasts Kaido Pirates rushed in frantically.

Seeing that there was an outsider here, he was startled at first.

But he immediately calmed down and reported to Kaido: "Lord Kaido! Bad news! Within the Border of the Kingdom, we have spotted the Emperor BIGMOM! She is currently causing widespread destruction within the Kingdom! Please, Lord Kaido, decide!"

Hearing his subordinate's words, Kaido was stunned for a moment, glanced at Blackbeard, and then burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha! What's bad about it? This is too good! Heaven is helping me!"

"Just when I was hungry, someone brings food. Diqi, it seems your theory of luck is indeed correct!"

"It seems Heaven is indeed on our side, deliberately leaving BIGMOM behind. For this battle, our certainty is even greater."

Diqi's face was also filled with surprise.

The sudden appearance of the old lady once again gave their side a qualitative leap in strength!

"Where's Jin? Have him come over, Tichi—you go with Jin and discuss the alliance properly. I'll be right back!"

"Go ahead, Lord Kaido, I will," Tichi replied.

Kaido nodded, pulled out another large jar of wine, and drained it in one gulp.

Then, before Tichi's awestruck gaze, he transformed into a massive blue dragon thousands of meters long!

It smashed through the roof and soared upward!

In the blink of an eye, it vanished beyond the horizon!

On the sea.

The Golden Merrie was slowly sailing toward Wano Country.

"100001...... 100002......"

Zoro, in his training room, as usual, swung endlessly at his training gear made of weight plates.

Ma Di sat quietly beside him, watching it all.

After a long while, Zoro finished his training and sat down beside Ma Di.

"Want to spar?"

Ma Di shook his head and smiled: "This kind of training? Your power's ceiling is too low."

"If you keep training this way, even a thousand years won't let you catch up to me. The title of Strongest Swordsman is destined to elude you."

Zoro narrowed his eyes, stood slowly, and picked up two wooden training swords from beside him.

He gripped one in his hand and handed the other to Ma Di.

"You're sure?" Ma Di raised an eyebrow.

"Absolutely, positively, and without doubt! Come on! The title of Strongest Swordsman can only be mine! I made a promise!"

Zoro's eyes glowed with intensity, fixed unblinkingly on Ma Di.

Despite having spent so much time together, he had never formed a clear understanding of Ma Di's strength.

Because every time Ma Di fought, he shattered Zoro's previous understanding!

So as Zoro grew stronger, his astonishment at Ma Di's power only deepened.

No matter how strong he became, Ma Di always remained one step ahead.

43: The Duel Between Ma Di and Zoro

Ma Di was like an endless abyss with no bottom.
