Chapter 16
"What? Kaido is coming to ask me for money again?"
Hearing the report from his bodyguard captain, Kurozumi Kanjuro, Orochi's originally happy expression instantly turned angry.
"Yes, my lord General. The person sent by Kaido is waiting outside the door."
The man whose actual identity was one of the Nine Red Scabbards, Denjiro, disguised as Kanjuro, said "respectfully," yet his gaze seemed to accidentally meet that of the beauty in Orochi's arms.
"Damn it! I don't even have enough supplies to enjoy as usual, where would I get extra money!"
Orochi angrily smashed the cup on the ground.
Kanjuro feigned fear and said, "Then this humble one will immediately go and reject that person."
"Wait..."
Orochi hesitated; Kaido was his greatest backer, and he dared not offend Kaido lightly.
However, greedy by nature, he could not bear to part with the money he had so painstakingly scraped from the people of Wano Country.
At this moment, the beauty in his arms, Komurasaki, said:
"My lord General, I heard that Governor Kaido needs so much money because he invented something called the SMILE fruit, which can instantly double a person's strength!"
"Really?"
Orochi was startled; indulging in pleasure, he did not even know about things happening right under his nose.
Kanjuro, who had already discussed this with Komurasaki, the alias of Hiyori of the Kozuki family, immediately fanned the flames:
"My lord General, I have also heard of this. Now the strength of the Beasts Pirates has nearly doubled compared to before, while we remain stagnant..."
Crack!
Orochi slammed the table heavily and said angrily:
"Kaido has such a good thing and doesn't even share it with me, yet he asks me for money! Kanjuro, send someone to Onigashima immediately to demand the SMILE fruits from Kaido!"
"As you command, General!"
A smirk curled Kanjuro's lips; he exchanged another glance with Komurasaki, both revealing a knowing smile.
The two of them: one was a retainer of Kozuki Oden, the other was Kozuki Oden's daughter.
Their purpose in lying low was to take revenge on Kaido and Orochi.
But the enemies' strength was too great; if they could provoke a feud between Orochi and Kaido, that would be even better.
This time was an excellent opportunity.
The person Kanjuro sent to Onigashima was also a spy of the Kozuki family.
Following Kanjuro's instructions, when he met Kaido, he adopted an arrogant posture, ordering Kaido in Orochi's tone to immediately give him one hundred SMILE fruits.
Kaido, with what kind of explosive temper, roared on the spot.
Instantly,
Heaven and earth changed color, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared!
Terrified out of his wits, the man fled in panic, and before leaving, he did not forget to say:
"This was all the will of General Orochi; it has nothing to do with this humble one."
Kaido's hair stood on end and his eyes blazed with rage: "Is that bastard Orochi trying to die!"
Beside him, the Plague, Queen, sneered:
"Boss Kaido, it seems Black Arm Zephyr has forgotten who he is. Let me go teach him a lesson!"
The Inferno, King, and the Drought, Jack, also volunteered to go teach Orochi a lesson.
But Kaido looked to the other side: "Son-in-law, what is your opinion?"
Nowadays, Kaido valued Luo Xing even more than the Three Calamities.
Luo Xing came to Kaido to seek guidance on cultivation.
As the Kaido-sensei in the original story who taught Luffy Conqueror's Haki coating and Fruit Awakening, he is the best coach on the seas.
Whether it is Silvers Rayleigh, Black Arm Zephyr, or Iron Fist Garp, they all have to step back.
Hearing Kaido ask for his opinion, Luo Xing's eyes shifted slightly, recalling his promise to his wife, Yamato.
He could use this plan to advise Kaido and change the status quo of Wano Country.
So Luo Xing said:
"Kaido-sensei... ah no, Father-in-law, your humble son-in-law believes we truly cannot let Orochi continue to be so arrogant."
"He is merely a tool your Father-in-Law uses, a dog under your command, yet he dares to instruct your Father-in-Law! This is truly outrageous!"
"Your humble son-in-law's opinion is to simply kill Black Arm Zephyr and let Yamato become the General of Wano Country."
Queen, King, and Jack's bodies trembled; their suggestions were merely to teach Orochi a lesson.
But the Imperial Son-in-Law wanted to kill Orochi directly.
Orochi and Boss Kaido are still in a cooperative relationship!
Unexpectedly, Boss Kaido laughed heartily:
"Only my son-in-law understands my thoughts. That damn Orochi, I have wanted to kill him for a long time, it's just..."
A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on Kaido's face:
"Is Yamato willing to become the General of Wano Country?"
Regarding this matter, Kaido had spoken to Yamato before, but Yamato completely ignored him.
Kaido was also helpless.
Luo Xing smiled slightly: "As for Yamato, I will persuade her."
Kaido was overjoyed, though feeling a bit sour in his heart.
Truly, a married daughter is like spilled water; her elbow turns outward.
Uh... it seems her elbow has never turned inward before.
With matters settled, Kaido handed over all affairs of Wano Country to Luo Xing to handle.
Luo Xing was just about to return home to tell Yamato about this.
Brrr-brrr...
The Den Den Mushi rang.
Judging by the style of the Den Den Mushi, it was a call from the Emperor Big Mom!
18. Big Mom wants the Ope Ope no Mi? Sure, one hundred million per cell! (Begging for flowers)
"Why is that dead old hag Lingling calling me?"
Kaido muttered to himself while picking up the Den Den Mushi.
On the other end of the line, a shrill, high-pitched laughter of "Mama-mama-mama" immediately rang out.
"Kaido, so you brat are still alive?"
"You haven't died either, Lingling!"
This pair of rivals, Kaido and Big Mom, opened with mutual well-wishes.
"Hmph, Kaido, don't forget you still owe me a huge favor!" Big Mom shouted loudly.
Kaido spread his hands:
"Is that so? Is it, is it? Lingling, did you eat too many sweets and make your brain stupid?"
Luo Xing, who had not yet left the place, hearing Kaido and Big Mom's conversation, almost laughed out loud.
He never expected his domineering father-in-law, who always exuded such aura, would actually play the shameless card.
As a transmigrator, Luo Xing naturally knew that the huge favor Big Mom mentioned was Kaido's Mythical Zoan-type Uo Uo no Mi.
Big Mom, angered by Kaido's shamelessness, stamped her feet:

"Kaido, you bastard, back on the Rocks ship, I should have beaten you more times!"
Kaido adopted a nonchalant stance:
"Cut the nonsense, Lingling, what exactly do you want with me?"
【91】 Speaking of serious matters, Big Mom suppressed her anger and said:
【92】 "I heard you recently obtained something called Ope Ope no Mi cells that can double your subordinates' strength; hurry up and send me a few hundred!"
