Chapter 17

Kaido never intended to take the risk himself; the soup that Luode brewed must be drunk by his subordinates first before he would drink it.

"Go call that kid over and tell him it's almost time to start." Kaido waved his hand and said.

Down below, Yamato was still cursing his father while playing the role of a filial daughter.

Soon after, Luode, who had finished brewing the Evil Energy Soup, was brought before Kaido.

"How is it? Kid, you've got everything ready, right? Don't disappoint me! This time at the Fire Festival, you're the main act." Kaido said.

"Don't worry, Boss Kaido, I've already arranged everything. All we need is to wait for your order, and we can start."

"Exactly, just let me draw a demonic enslavement magic circle for you, and we can end all this, Kaido."

Kaido nodded after hearing that, then said: "This is my foolish son; in a moment you will inscribe that suppressive magic circle you mentioned on her body, then let her drink first, and I want to see how it works."

"She has inherited my bloodline, possesses a monstrous physique as strong as mine, and also has the ability of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."

"Forgive my bluntness, Boss Kaido, does your son have any peculiar fetish? Why is he dressed like a woman? Does he like cross-dressing?" Luode pretended to ask, even giving a look of a pervert toward Yamato.

"You, you bastard, what kind of look is that? I am not Kaido's son; I am the General of Wano Country, Guangyu Yutian." Yamato said.

"Hehe! Young Master Yamato, you're still so willful!" Heise Marya said.

"Looks like we're in for some hardship again."

"Cough cough! Luode, Kaido has always raised her as a son, but she's actually a girl." Kuinyin coughed slightly embarrassed and said.

Originally a nice young lady, she was cute as a child, but ended up being spoiled by Kaido's raising.

Actually, as Kaido's old subordinate, Kuinyin also knew some of the situation; Kaido had always wanted a son to inherit everything, but he ended up with a daughter, which made him very unhappy.

So for this daughter, she's never had it easy since childhood; no one bothered to inquire, let alone care.

After the other side began worshipping some foolish prince of Wano Country, Kaido even directly fitted her with an explosive chain.

"Ah, I see! Hahaha, I thought you had some special cross-dressing fetish." Luode laughed and said.

Alright then, let's use Kaido's filial daughter as the experiment and subdue this big girl first.

Speaking of the One Piece world, human body proportions are truly extreme; Yamato is indeed quite handsome, with a super hot figure, but this 2.6‑meter height is genuinely terrifying!

But thinking about it, her father is over seven meters tall, so her height is much lower in comparison.

"Damn bull-headed gorilla, what do you want to do to me?" Yamato, at this moment, also sensed something was off.

"Is this... are you going to use me as a test subject?"

"Damn it, I'm your biological daughter, and you actually... you actually want to use me for experiments on outsiders."

"Damn bull-headed gorilla, someday I'll knock you flying with a stick."

"Don't worry, Miss Yamato, I will treat you very gently."

"Soon, please take off your upper clothing; I need to draw some very peculiar magic seals on your body." Luode coughed and said. "Damn thing, I'll kill you—if you have the guts, let me go, what do you want to do with my body?" Yamato glared at Luode with fiery eyes and shouted.

"A blessing, a blessing of great power—you'll like it." Luode revealed a mysterious smile and said.

"Alright, no more nonsense—call an ordinary member over to take a sip and see the effect quickly." Kaido, sitting on the high platform, already impatient, said.

The Three Sweet Commanders of the Beasts Pirates, plus the Flying Six, all looked at Luode with curiosity.

"As you wish, Lord Kaido! Whoever steps forward first will receive this blessing." Luode picked up a cup, filled it with a bowl of green demonic energy blood, and shouted to the Beasts Pirates crew.

The Beasts Pirates all dress in Viking pirate style, each strong and sturdy, reminiscent of the ancient beastmen's blood-drinking gathering.

"Hahaha! I'll go first, I'll go first—I can't wait any longer."

"Let me do it, damn it."

"As long as I gain power, I'm willing to do anything."

Enthusiasm exceeded Luode's expectations; the underlings of the Beasts Pirates vied with each other to be the first to accept this blessing, to accept the demonic energy's power.

Also, the Beasts Pirates' artificial Devil Fruits already have huge side effects.

But even so, these Beasts Pirates members still scrambled to eat it.

On this sea, especially among pirates, if you don't gain power, it's worse than death.

"Then let you be the first to sample this power." Luode casually pointed at a Beasts Pirates member and said.

He is a pirate about 2.5 meters tall, his whole body packed with solid muscle; using demonic energy to sense life, Luode found this guy's physical strength formidable, even matching some true experts—the stronger the physique, the better the demonic energy enhancement.

The named Beasts Pirates grunt jumped out excitedly and stepped before Luode.

Luode handed over a cup of demonic energy blood.

"Drink up!"

The Beasts Pirates grunt nodded and gulped down the demonic energy blood in one go.

Right after drinking the blood, his body began to mutate; he started trembling, a green energy remodeled his body, his normal skin turned a dark green, his eyes became ferocious, and his muscles began to swell.

A powerful, violent aura surged forth.

"Hahaha! I feel it—this is power, I feel my whole body brimming with power." The first Beasts Pirates member to take the demonic energy blood roared.

Now I feel great—my whole body is filled with power, a violent force coursing through him.

"This guy's aura has become much stronger." Blaze said.

Through observation and hearing Haki, many Beasts Pirates experts sensed that his aura had become far stronger than before and extremely ferocious.

"Hahaha! Good kid, quickly inscribe that suppressive seal you mentioned on Yamato, then let her drink first." Kaido said.
