Chapter 28

As soon as Kaido said that, everyone present was somewhat surprised.

Luode's importance now goes without saying; just now, beneath Demon Island, all the foot soldiers of the Beasts Pirates had basically all taken the fel blood, and their strength had more than doubled.

Assigning him two suitable bodyguards is indeed reasonable, but are these two choices perhaps a bit unsuitable!

Kaido's son—or rather, his daughter Yamato—is hardly an obedient one.

Kaido can only restrict her freedom of action; basically no one can control her behavior—making her a bodyguard? Is that a mistake? As for the other, Runti, his strength is indeed strong, but this guy is utterly a siscon! Making him a bodyguard? Really suitable?

"I don't want to be anyone's bodyguard! Little Runti wants to accompany Little Pei." Runti turned his head away and spoke.

"Please, big sister, this is the captain's order; we must obey." Pei Jiwan spoke from the side.

If he could get away from his yandere older sister for a while, he would also be quite happy.

"Boss Kaido, why not change personnel? Yamato isn't really suitable; otherwise, let Jack protect this kid Luode." Blazing Calamity spoke.

With the Beasts Pirates' major signboard protecting him, Luode will face no danger in Wano Country; even if he goes out onto the New World seas, those who could harm him are few and far between.

"Yamato, I just beat him up, and he's obedient now, right, Yamato?" Kaido looked toward his filial daughter and spoke.

The bodyguard selection had already been agreed upon by Kaido and Luode; Yamato accepted the power of the fel blood, is now completely obedient to Luode, and thus naturally serves as Luode's bodyguard.

As for Runti, Luode has another plan.

"Hmph! I will obey my father's command; I will become Luode's bodyguard, and before I die, no one will be able to harm Luode." Yamato, standing aside, spoke with a blank expression.

Circumstances are stronger than the individual; now even my bastard father obeys the other's orders, let alone her! After hearing this, all the senior members of the Beasts Pirates showed surprised expressions.

This person, who usually listens to no one and is exceedingly arrogant, has actually changed his ways and even obeyed his father's command! "Little Runti doesn't want to be his bodyguard; otherwise, you just replace Yamato, let Little Pei and I be together, Little Runti and Little Pei together protect him—that's fine, Little Pei, you'll be with your sister, right?" Runti looked at his brother Pei Jiwan, his eyes sparkling with stars, and spoke.

Anyway, there's no way to separate her and her brother; it's that simple.

Seeing this scene, Pei Jiwan was somewhat speechless; his older sister's strength is clearly greater than his own, yet she always likes to act cute, making him protect her—but once he gets hit by an enemy, his older sister will immediately flare up and rush forward.

To be frank, among the current Tobiroppo, his strength is the weakest, precisely because of his sister Runti's overprotection.

"Runti! Do you dare not obey my command? You two siblings have been raised by me since childhood, yet you stole my Devil Fruit, and now you dare defy my order." Kaido spoke.

A terrifying aura suddenly pressed toward Runti; Kaido's Conqueror's Haki suddenly became somewhat different. Before, Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was also terrifying, but now it gives everyone an unimaginable pressure.

That is an instinctive dread, a natural fear; now Kaido's Conqueror's Haki is like the nemesis of life itself.

"Boss Kaido's strength has increased considerably, and his Conqueror's Haki has become even more terrifying."

"Hahaha! Boss Kaido has become this strong; taking the throne of Pirate King is no longer a problem." Facing Kaido's pressure, Runti's eyes instantly widened, his body began to tremble.

"Why not replace Runti with me? I would be very happy to protect him." Heise Maria spoke from the side.

Geez, it's been a long time since I saw Boss Kaido this angry; usually Runti also defies the boss's orders, but the boss has never been this angry before—what's going on? "Hmph! You have no say here!" Kaido turned his head, glared at Heise Maria, and spoke.

"Little, Little Runti knows! I'll just protect him, but every day I need to go see Pei Jiwan." Runti spoke with a frightened expression.

If he doesn't agree, he will really die, he will really die.

"I'm not negotiating with you; either you obey my command, or you die." Kaido raised his spiked club, fel energy surging throughout his body, and spoke.

Having just been controlled by Luode, Kaido's mood was already not good; at that time no one could defy his orders, and if anyone dared to defy, he would unhesitatingly smash them with a blow.

"Please, big sister, the boss is really angry; now is not the time to be willful." Pei Jiwan spoke anxiously from the side.

"Little, Little Runti knows, Little Runti listens to the boss." In the end, Runti still gave in, naturally becoming one of Luode's bodyguards.

"That's right, good, everyone disperse now! Maria, come over and have a drink with me, remember to bring more liquor." Kaido spoke.

"Understood, boss." Heise Maria spoke.

Boss Kaido today is somewhat different! His mood seems not so good; later when I accompany him for drinks, be careful! "Then, you two, please continue to guide us in the future." Luode looked at Yamato and Runti and spoke.

Yamato nodded and silently followed behind Luode.

"Hmph!" Runti let out a cold snort.

In the following period, Luode stayed within the Beasts Pirates, practicing fel magic in the mornings and evenings, and learning Observation and Armament Haki from Kaido at noon and in the afternoons.

These days, within the Beasts Pirates, Luode also took a moment to look at the newspaper, confirming the current timeline: a certain Straw Hat boy has already set sail, and Blackbeard has also betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates.

Currently the Straw Hats' bounty is 300 million, which means the Summit War will start soon! Why not think of a way to participate! After Whitebeard's death, shall we seize his corpse?

Try necromancy! The demons of the Burning Legion, aside from fel magic, are also skilled at spirit magic.

After all, some dreadlords are indeed disciples of the Shadowlands.

The method of crafting death knights came from the Burning Legion into Gul'dan's hands; the Lich King's death knights were merely what the dreadlords taught him.

Making Whitebeard's corpse into a death knight shouldn't be weak, right? (End of chapter)
