Chapter 370: The Pirate King... I Am Definitely Becoming It

There was a spectacle to witness, especially one involving the old hag Charlotte Lingling, and Kaido naturally would not miss it.

Back then, he had repeatedly advised against mass cloning via genetic factors, but Lingling insisted on cultivating a bloodline army and attempted to become the Pirate King through it.

Now, problems had indeed arisen.

And when Kaido saw the ten idiotic triplets in the laboratory, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he had not provided Lingling with genetic factors; otherwise, with this group of foolish children, his Kaido's lifelong reputation would surely be ruined in an instant.

Yamato was much better.

Although Yamato was mischievous and rebellious, whether in physical talent or appearance, Yamato had perfectly inherited his excellent genes.

He was countless times better than this group of dull-witted foolish children.

Unfortunately, Yamato was detained by that bastard Barzab Seven in Inazuma, causing father and daughter to be separated.

"Kaido, what are you doing here?"

Lingling appeared to be in a good mood, completely unaffected by the ten foolish children, and even thought Kaido had come because he was moved.

"What? Do you want to try too?"

Successfully cultivating ten triplets via genetic factor cloning technology made Lingling realize: she was getting closer and closer to becoming the Pirate King.

She only needed to cultivate more offspring; the day the children grew up would be the day she was crowned the Pirate King.

The Pirate King, she, Lingling, was determined to be it.

"Try?" Kaido sneered coldly.

"A group of idiotic little things, what is there to try? Only you, old hag, would treat them as treasures."

Compared to the enhancement brought by Devil Fruits, Kaido simply looked down on Lingling's bloodline army.

What's the point of giving birth when you can just snatch people?

Instead of wasting idle time giving birth, it would be better to go to the Four Seas, pick some promising seedlings with good talent, kidnap them back to the Beasts Pirates, and then feed them Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

Thereby forging a true Beasts Pirates.

Upon hearing these words, Lingling narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze suddenly turned hostile.

"You say, old lady, the children are foolish?"

Although the ten triplets were not born from Lingling's womb, they were cultivated from her genetic factors, so Lingling treated the ten triplets exactly the same as her other children.

There was absolutely no difference.

Kaido ignored Lingling's hostile gaze and continued to complain on his own.

"Old hag, you are foolish to begin with, so these little things you cultivated look even more foolish..."

Before he finished speaking, Lingling held the Emperor Sword Napoleon and slashed straight forward, but it was blocked by the spiked club in Kaido's hand.

"Bastard Kaido!"

"Old hag!"

Seeing the two about to erupt into a fierce battle, Vergo swallowed hard, gathered his courage, and stepped forward to mediate.

"Boss, Senior Lingling."

"This is Onigashima; the experimental equipment of the Vinsmoke brothers is incredibly precious; you surely don't want..."

Hearing these words, the two had to stop fighting.

Kaido always adhered to the principle of not fighting at the headquarters, especially since he and Lingling's destructive power was something Onigashima truly could not withstand.

If they were to fight, they should go to the Marine Headquarters.

And Lingling was worried that

if the experimental equipment of the Vinsmoke brothers was damaged, causing the bloodline army plan to be forcibly terminated, the day she was crowned the Pirate King would inevitably be delayed.

"Hmph, Kaido, this matter is not over."

"Children, let's go home."

Watching Lingling leave with the ten triplets, Kaido suddenly felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

It was true that the ten triplets were foolish, but they had inherited Lingling's talent, and after growing up, they would surely become the backbone of the Whole Cake Island.

And Vinsmoke, who added depth to the Whole Cake Island, was one of his Beasts Pirates.

Realizing this problem, Kaido held his spiked club and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Vinsmoke, how has big brother treated you?"

Vinsmoke glanced at the spiked club and really wanted to blurt out: You swallowed my Germa Kingdom, so you haven't treated me very well at all.

But when one is under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head; without Kaido's protection, the Vinsmoke family could not survive in the New World at all.

"Big Brother Kaido."

"Without you, there would be no Vinsmoke today."

Hearing these words, Kaido sheathed his spiked club.

With the success of the ten triplets, Lingling would definitely go to find the genetic factors of more strong people to cultivate more offspring.

If the Beasts Pirates did not keep up, one day they would be left far behind by the Whole Cake Island.

Slow progress is equivalent to regression.

"Brother Vinsmoke, since you can use genetic factors to cultivate offspring for Lingling, you must also have a way to find more Devil Fruits for the Beasts Pirates, right?"

With the Hanafuda returning to the Beasts Pirates, the matter of finding Devil Fruits became Kaido's biggest headache.

Kaido's original intention was to urge Vinsmoke to develop new equipment like floating boots as soon as possible to make up for the problem that the Beasts Pirates' combat power could not increase due to the lack of Devil Fruits.

But he never expected that Vinsmoke would pat his chest and guarantee it.

"Boss, this is simple."

"I have a friend named Caesar; the Queen brothers also know him; he was our former colleague in MADS."

"Caesar has been researching artificial Devil Fruits these years; as long as you can capture Caesar, you can produce as many Zoan-type Devil Fruits as you want."

As the words fell, Kaido seemed to hear his own heart pounding faster.

"Where is he now?"

If they could bring Caesar back to Onigashima, they would complete the final piece of the Beasts Pirates' takeoff, making the title of Pirate King within reach.

Charlotte Lingling has her own army of children; he would forge one too—a Beasts army composed entirely of artificial Devil Fruit users.

Gazhi paused, then spoke.

"I heard he was captured by the World Government and is currently serving them alongside Vegapunk."

Sorry, brother Caesar.

We can't let a brother suffer alone on Onigashima while you and Vegapunk live freely under the World Government's protection.

"The World Government?" Kaido hesitated.

Last time he caused chaos at the Marine Headquarters in New Marineford, it was because the other three Emperors of the Sea were present; defeat by the Marines was impossible.

Now, however, only he remains.

It was not that Kaido feared the World Government and dared not go alone,

but since learning of Barzab Seven's seafaring experiences, Kaido had learned to plan before acting.

A pirate who does not use his brain will remain a pirate forever.

With Barzab Seven, the most successful pirate model in centuries, as an example, even the older generation of pirates, including Kaido, began to make changes.

What Kaido considered was—

how to snatch Caesar back from the World Government at the smallest cost.

If they acted rashly, they would very likely provoke the military might of the World Government and the Marines, which would be detrimental to the low-profile development of the Beasts Pirates.

Anything detrimental to the development of the Beasts Pirates must absolutely not be done, at least not yet.

"Brother Gazhi, find a way to contact Caesar."

"Tell him

the Beasts Pirates will help him regain his freedom, and provide him with protection, research funds, and a facility; all he needs to do is manufacture artificial Devil Fruits for the Beasts Pirates."

"Understood, Big Brother Kaido."

Kaido nodded in satisfaction. The Beasts Pirates were now brimming with talent; they only needed the east wind of Caesar's arrival to soar into the sky.

The title of Pirate King, he, Kaido, would definitely claim it!
