Chapter 175: Blue Dragon vs. Blue Dragon (Part 1)
Regarding Kaido, Yamato's cheap father, Saint Saint Saiwen had no thought of killing him; he only needed to drive Kaido away so he would not dare return to Wano Country.
After all, he was a future cheap father-in-law.
Beating him a few times was acceptable, but absolutely no killing.
If that old Kaido was gone, where would Saint Saint Saiwen find such good laboring muscle?
Among the old-era old men Saint Saint Saiwen knew,
Whitebeard roamed the seas adopting sons; family in Whitebeard's heart was more important than territory, even more than becoming the Pirate King.
The grass on Captain Roger's grave was already two zhang high.
Uncle Jabba had retired to Elbaf.
Uncle Rayleigh and Aunt Shakky had temporarily returned to Amazon Lily to recuperate for a while.
Golden Lion had already joined the Morning Star Pirates.
The Haughty Red, Red Count, was currently still furthering his studies in the sixth layer of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.
As for the remaining old-era remnants, either he did not know them, or the relationship was bad; there was absolutely no possibility of recruiting them.
Only that old Kaido was suitable for expanding territory.
Suitable for conquering one territory after another, then governing them into a complete mess, creating a heaven-sent opportunity for Hero Saint Saint Saiwen to appear and rescue the suffering people.
Moreover, it could also attract the World Government's attention.
He was simply a predestined ox-horse human pillar.
As for Charlotte Lingling's Whole Cake Island, Saint Saint Saiwen currently did not plan to take it directly; Lingling's nation-building philosophy was worth observing for a while longer.
Just think about it, in the One Piece world,
one only needed to work two months a year, but memories of the working period could be skipped with one click; the rest of the time could be spent lying flat.
Moreover, Big Mom's children mostly possessed food-type Devil Fruits; Whole Cake Island would never suffer famine, a proper place where everyone ate their fill.
Gnawing on biscuits was better than gnawing on tree bark.
Especially the Long Bread who ate the Munch-Munch Fruit, possessing the ability to transform any substance into food.
The price was only handing over two months of lifespan per year.
Such a country, how could it not be counted as a human paradise?
Precisely for this reason, while preparing to use Inazuma as an experimental template to seek the path of liberation, Saint Saint Saiwen planned to continue observing Whole Cake Island for a while.
Duang~ duang~ duang~
The Thunder Giant, wielding the great hammer Iron Thunder, beat the Blue Dragon form of Kaido until he suffered unbearably.
Saint Saint Saiwen already possessed innate divine strength and immense power; now his size had increased by over a hundred meters, and he had the great hammer Iron Thunder comparable to Mengxiang Yixin.
In every aspect, he was stronger than Kaido.
"Truly a fellow favored by fate."
Kaido switched to his human-beast form, feeling indignant at the unfairness of fate.
There are only twelve Supreme Grade Blades; that means only twelve lucky ones can obtain them.
But what about Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen?
He already possessed Mengxiang Yixin, which was stronger than the Supreme Grade Blades, yet somehow he also acquired a hammer that ate a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
The key was that the hammer was even stronger than the Shusui in Whitebeard's hand.
Even Kaido's top trump card, the Inferno Disaster King, would probably not be a match for that iron hammer.
Kaido roughly surveyed the battle situation.
He could at least delay Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen for a while, but his remaining subordinates were being beaten until they howled in pain.
Making King face Golden Lion... truly was hard on King.
Even if Kaido wanted to defeat Golden Lion, it would consume considerable time, and there was a high probability he would still be injured.
Indeed, it was hard on King.
Queen faced Mihawk and had absolutely no chance of victory; Queen was hacked all over with blood by the Supreme Grade Blade Black Blade Yoru, and defeat was unmistakable.
The Flower and Needle brothers were being gang-beaten by Kuma and a somewhat familiar fat man.
As for the remaining Beasts Pirates executives, a single Devil's Descendant Barrett was enough to wipe them all out.
This fellow Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's luck was truly heaven-defying; he met Mihawk upon setting sail, then invited Master Tenghu, Kuma, and Jin Ni aboard.
Even fellows like Golden Lion and Barrett were willing to join his ranks.
Recalling the suggestion Vergo had made not long ago, Kaido began to feel thoughts of retreat; continuing to fight Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen would not change the outcome of defeat.
If they continued fighting, the Beasts Pirates, which had barely grown strong, would not have a single survivor.
It would be better to find a decent way out.
Rather than burying his bones in Wano Country, he should first occupy the other nations of the New World, recruit more talents, and decide the final victory with Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen in the future.
Kaido took a deep breath.
"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, have them stop."
"Let us decide the outcome in a single battle; if I win, you leave; if you win, we leave. How about that?"
Saint Saint Saiwen released his Thunder Giant form, with the Lightning Squirrel Iron Thunder standing on his shoulder.
"Mr. Kaido,
you certainly have a good idea."
Hearing this, Kaido thought Saint Saint Saiwen would refuse, but he never expected him to actually agree.
"I agree, but there is a condition."
"Yamato needs to stay behind; when she comes of age, if she wants to find you, I will naturally let her leave."
Saint Saint Saiwen's voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the Beasts Pirates, precisely utilizing the Observation Haki telepathy ability.
Consider it a favor to the old man Kaido, helping to stabilize the morale of the Beasts Pirates.
However, Kaido did not see it that way.
Kaido has only this one daughter, yet she is being detained by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen; especially after being disgusted by Blackie Orochi before, his anger instantly surged to the sky.
"Do you want to die?"
Kaido in his Beast-Human form suddenly leaped into the air, spun his spiked club Hakkai, wrapped Conqueror's Haki around the iron rod, and smashed it downward.
"Sankon: Inenra."
The spiked club, carrying his rage, clashed once more with Mengxiang Yixin, only to be chopped into fragments by Mengxiang Yixin.
Seeing this, Kaido simply abandoned his weapon and launched another assault with his unorthodox fists.
After receiving Saint Saint Saiwen's order, fighting ceased everywhere else; the members of the Morning Star Pirates escorted the defeated Beasts Pirates to one location.
Only Kaido continued to fight to the death.
Saint Saint Saiwen finally realized that the old man Kaido thought he was a lolicon.
Damn it, my reputation is ruined.
"Hostage, do you understand hostage?"
"Mr. Kaido, letting you leave is no problem, but we must keep a hostage; who knows if you will come to Wano Country to cause trouble later."
Hearing these words, Kaido gritted his teeth.
"You can talk after you beat me."
The Blue Dragon form coiled again above the Flower Capital, the massive dragon body wrapped in Xiong Xiong flames; Kaido had just shouted the move's name—
"Fire Dragon Great Torch."
Yet a towering wave surged within that pair of dragon eyes.
Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen quickly transformed into an identical Blue Dragon form, coiling above the Flower Capital, his body also burning with Xiong Xiong flames.
"Mr. Kaido."
"The Blue Dragon form lives up to its reputation."
If not for the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, which could further strengthen his physical body, Saint Saint Saiwen would likely not have unlocked the opportunity to consume a third Devil Fruit.
After the Age-Age Fruit awakened, Saint Saint Saiwen had already simulated the Magma Fruit and the Blue Dragon form in battle one after another.
If he could make himself believe such a lie as "I do not love women, I only love saving the world," what else could he not make himself firmly believe?
"Blue Dragon form versus Blue Dragon form."
"Mr. Kaido."
"If you lose, please leave as soon as possible."
Saint Saint Saiwen had enough patience for the designated chosen worker, his future cheap father-in-law Kaido.
After all, he had taken a liking to Kaido's daughter.
