Chapter 66

"Kaido, you brat have grown quite capable, turning into such a massive loach!"

In his Azure Dragon form, Kaido is terrifying; a mere sway of his dragon body triggers violent churning in the sea of clouds.

Kaido's dragon mouth opens and closes, blowing out powerful gusts of air with every word.

"I haven't been the same me since those days! But you've become more and more wretched; you've lost both legs, and a ship's helm is stuck in your head. Are you playing the rooster, Shi Ji?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion flew into a rage, his voice brimming with killing intent:

"Kaido, it seems you've forgotten the taste of being disciplined by me back then!"

"Then I'll make you recall it again!"

"Lion: Thousand Valley!"

The Golden Lion swung the Sakura Ten and Deadwood in his feet, unleashing several massive golden slashes!

Kaido roared, "Who are you underestimating! Evil Wind!!"

His dragon mouth gaped wide, and a torrent of giant wind blades, like giant kamaitachi, shot out..........

The Golden Lion and Kaido, two world-class powerhouses with past grudges and present resentments, began fighting formally after barely exchanging a few words.

Neither of their attacks was anything less than a massive-range AOE, shaking heaven and earth!

As the wind blades clashed with the slashes, all the dark clouds in the sky were torn apart.

Several wind blades landed on the floating island, instantly cleaving several of the Golden Lion's subordinates in half.

The Golden Lion glanced at the scene, his expression turning gloomy.

The Beasts Kaido is indeed no longer the brat he could manipulate back in the day!

"Indigo, you take the ferocious beasts to land in Wano Country and raid the SMILE cells and Senju beans; I'll handle Kaido!"

Although Indigo had strongly opposed attacking Wano Country earlier, with no way to retreat now, he had no choice but to agree.

Thus.

The members of the Flying Pirates, along with the hundreds of ferocious beasts that had eaten IQ, descended upon the borders of Wano Country.

King, having heard Luo Xing's orders, had already led the Beasts Pirates warriors here, standing ready for battle.

Not long after, Queen and Jack arrived, carrying a huge pile of weapons.

"Kill! Kill them all!"

King gave the order and launched the attack.

What a joke; how could the Beasts Pirates ever take a beating passively?

Moreover, the warriors he brought had all eaten artificial Devil Fruits and SMILE cells; every single one of them possessed strength no less than the original Tobiroppo!

"Heh." Queen sneered sinisterly, firing off some mummy virus, "Die in agony; I love hearing screams the most."

Beasts Pirates vs. Flying Pirates!

The war broke out in an instant.

Without any surprise, the Beasts Pirates assumed a crushing posture, sweeping the Flying Pirates aside directly.

Those so-called ferocious beasts that had eaten IQ could only be slaughtered in the face of true ferocious beasts, namely Zoan users enhanced by SMILE cells!

Indigo stood with his mouth agape, his entire body turning ice cold.

He knew the Flying Pirates' forces would be inferior to the Beasts Pirates, but he never expected the gap to be this huge!

They were not even on the same level!

"Oh ho ho ho! Golden Lion, you've really gone downhill; with subordinates like these, you dare attack me?"

Seeing the situation below, Kaido couldn't help but let out a triumphant, mocking laugh at the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion's face turned red with rage.

He hadn't expected this situation either.

The IQ he had spent so many years researching turned out to be trash in the face of the Beasts Pirates!

"It's because of the SMILE cells, isn't it?"

The Golden Lion thought for a moment and said:

"All your subordinates have eaten SMILE cells, enhancing their original Devil Fruit abilities, which is why they have such strength!"

Kaido sneered, "It seems your head hasn't been completely ruined by that ship's helm."

"You damned brat, once I kill you, I'll seize all your SMILE cells!"

The Golden Lion exploded in rage, opening his hands and roaring:

"Lion's Will: Earth Spiral!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The land on the floating island instantly spiraled upward, transforming into dozens of-meter-high male lions that lunged viciously to bite the Azure Dragon.

Seeing this, Kaido coiled his Azure Dragon body.

"Tornado!"

The Azure Dragon spun like a top, whipping up a violent tornado that blocked out the sun and sky, flinging the charging lions away.

"Such a tremendous spectacle; truly worthy of a battle between the world's top powerhouses."

Luo Xing, accompanied by Yamato, had already arrived here.

Luo Xing's eyes flickered; he wanted to know how much gap remained between himself and the highest combat power of the pirates.

At this moment.

The Golden Lion's gaze suddenly swept toward him.

The man's eyes rolled, and without a word, he charged straight at Luo Xing!

The Golden Lion's main purpose for attacking Wano Country was to seize the SMILE cells and Senju beans.

It was not truly to contend with Kaido for supremacy.

And after just a few exchanges with Kaido, Golden Lion discovered that Kaido was indeed no longer the brat of years past.

To utterly defeat Kaido would take him at least several days and nights.

How much time did Golden Lion have?

The subordinates and ferocious beasts he brought were no match for the Beasts Pirates.

In a short time, casualties had already reached nearly half.

If dragged out even a moment longer, they would likely all be wiped out.

By then, with the rest of the Beasts Pirates aiding Kaido, even he, Golden Lion, would have no choice but to retreat in defeat.

Therefore,

do not be fooled by Golden Lion's outward arrogance; in truth, his heart had already grown somewhat anxious.

Just then, he saw a man and a woman walking up, treading upon the air.

Although Golden Lion did not recognize Luo Xing or Yamato, he had done some intelligence gathering before arriving.

He knew Kaido had a daughter, and that the god-defying Monster Cell and Senzu Bean were both invented by Kaido's son-in-law, a young man named Luo Xing.

Golden Lion immediately confirmed that the young man and woman who had just arrived were Kaido's daughter and son-in-law!

Golden Lion was overjoyed beyond measure.

Just as he was worried about what to do, the most important target, Luo Xing, had delivered himself right to his doorstep!

If he kidnapped this inventor, why would he still worry about lacking Monster Cells and Senzu Beans in the future?

This was the reason Golden Lion charged at Luo Xing without hesitation.

After Kaido used a whirlwind to shatter Lion's Might·Earth, seeing Golden Lion's movement, he was instantly filled with shock and fury!

In the current Beasts Pirates, if one were to ask who was most important to Kaido, there was no doubt it was his son-in-law, Luo Xing!

Even if it was King, even if it was his daughter Yamato, they would have to rank behind Luo Xing.

Kaido absolutely could not tolerate anyone harming Luo Xing!

Roar, roar, roar!!

A massive dragon's roar echoed across the sky.

Kaido went berserk; with a single move of the Divine Dragon's Tail Sweep, his massive green dragon tail swept toward Golden Lion.

Golden Lion could not dodge in time and was swept away by the green dragon's tail.

But he did not get angry; instead, he laughed.

"Hehehe, Kaido, your impatience shows that young man is your son-in-law, Luo Xing, the inventor of the Monster Cell and Senzu Bean!"

Kaido's dragon eyes were filled with rage as he shouted:

"Shi Ji, do you dare not fight me in a fair and square battle?"
