Chapter 380: This... Doesn't Seem Right
Onigashima, the Beasts Pirates' main base.
After witnessing Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki, Kaido finally stopped causing trouble under the guise of drunkenness and calmly prepared to discuss matters.
There was no choice; he truly could not win.
Kaido never expected a guaranteed victory; if he could break Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's defense, he would not be so amiable as he is now.
"Speak, what do you wish to discuss?"
Here it comes, here it comes, it's finally here!
The melon-eating trio composed of Mihawk, Shanks, and Benn Beckman instantly perked up.
Especially Shanks, who silently pulled out a Den Den Mushi, preparing to record all of Saint Saint Saiwen's dark history.
Back in the Roger Pirates days, Saint Saint Saiwen often did things like this, holding countless dark secrets on Shanks and Buggy in his hands.
Now he finally had a chance to turn the tables.
Compared to the dark secrets Saint Saint Saiwen held from their childhood, the fact that Saint Saint Saiwen was proposing to Kaido meant Shanks was ready to eat Saint Saint Saiwen's misfortune for the rest of his life.
Shanks secretly pointed the video Den Den Mushi at Saint Saint Saiwen and Kaido, who were talking.
"Sober now?" Saint Saint Saiwen asked.
"Sober!" Kaido replied.
"Can you keep it secret?"
"Can keep it secret!"
The melon-eating trio exchanged glances, feeling that the development of events was somewhat beyond expectations.
Logically, with Saint Saint Saiwen's upcoming act of proposing, in any era, being beaten into a pig's head would be the lightest outcome.
In severe cases, he might even end up on the execution platform.
The trio had already foreseen: as soon as Saint Saint Saiwen opened his mouth to propose, Kaido would definitely enter a rage state, even risking his life to beat Saint Saint Saiwen up.
But in reality, since entering Onigashima, the control had always been in Saint Saint Saiwen's hands.
"Senior Kaido, you know, Akainu and I are the only remaining Lunarian descendants."
Kaido nodded slightly.
Akainu, originally named Abel, was one of the only surviving Lunarians in the world before Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.
But Kaido did not understand.
Why would Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen suddenly bring this up? Did he want to invite Akainu to join the Morning Star Pirates?
Good for you, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen! Stealing the Katagiri siblings from Wano and messing with old lady Charlotte Lingling wasn't enough; now you want to mess with our Beasts Pirates too?
Kaido was just about to refuse when he heard Saint Saint Saiwen say.
"Then Senior must also know the blood feud between the Lunarians and the World Government."
At this moment, Kaido finally understood.
"You are preparing to take revenge on the World Government?"
Interesting; with the foundation of the Morning Star Pirates and Wano, once they prepare to take revenge on the World Government, it means there will definitely be a fight.
And it is destined to be a war of the ages.
How could a war of such scale lack him, Kaido? The Beasts Pirates must get involved.
"Yes." Saint Saint Saiwen nodded.
"Before, I had no choice; now I want to overthrow the World Government and return a clear sky to this great sea. For this, I have specifically contacted Newgate and Senior Shi Ji, preparing to storm Mary Geoise in a while."
For a battle maniac like Kaido, the same tactics used against Baret would suffice.
As long as there is a fight, Kaido will definitely participate.
As for why he didn't mention marrying Yamato, let's see how Saint Saint Saiwen demonstrates it next.
"Senior Kaido."
"How can a great matter like overthrowing the World Government lack you? You wouldn't want others to misunderstand that Senior is a coward afraid to fight, would you?"
"Hmph!" Kaido snorted.
"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen."
"Provocation tactics don't work on me. If you want the Beasts Pirates to act, no problem, state your chips."
Previously, when the Beasts Pirates occupied Dressrosa, they could be completely self-sufficient, but since absorbing Kaido and Caesar, the funding gap has become huge.
Precisely because of this.
Kaido both wanted to storm Mary Geoise to participate in a war of the ages spanning hundreds of years, and also wanted to get some funds from Saint Saint Saiwen to fill the void.
Everyone on the seas knows Wano is dripping with oil.
"Senior Kaido, indeed straightforward."
Saint Saint Saiwen held up one finger: "Senior, how about this number?"
Paying a bride price for a wife is only right; ordinary families require three golds or five golds; as the Raiden Shogun of Wano, Saint Saint Saiwen naturally could not lack a bride price.
A dowry of one hundred billion Berries, which Saint Saint Saiwen prepared to pay entirely from his personal savings.
"One hundred billion Berries?"
Kaido's heart instantly blossomed with joy; participating in a world war and obtaining one hundred billion Berries in remuneration was simply a total win.
"Deal."
Looking at Kaido's outstretched palm, Saint Saint Saiwen pursed his lips and reached out to grasp it; old man Kaido was honest, knowing to save Saint Saint Saiwen's personal savings.
He is a good cheap father-in-law!
After confirming the remuneration, Kaido specifically asked.
"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, after overthrowing the World Government... do you want to be the King of the World?"
Kaido had never thought of failing; this was both trust in his own strength and trust in Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, who was even stronger than him.
King of the World... what magnificent prestige!
Before the King of the World, Kaido suddenly realized that his lifelong dream—becoming the Pirate King—seemed to be nothing special after all.
It simply could not compare to the King of the World.
"What else?" Saint Saint Saiwen asked instead of answering.
In fact, Kaido also understood that the King of the World could be no one but Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen; otherwise, no matter who it was, even Whitebeard, Shiki, or he, Kaido, could not command belief.
Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was about to become the King of the World; Kaido felt extremely envious in his heart, yet also extremely unwilling.
A hundred billion Berries in reward was certainly generous, and participating in a once-in-an-era great battle was equally alluring, yet he simply felt very uncomfortable inside.
No, he must secure some additional benefits.
"In that case," Kaido said in a deep voice, "compared to the throne of the King of the World, a hundred billion Berries is far from enough; you must also agree to an extra condition of mine."
As if worried Saint Saint Saiwen might refuse, Kaido quickly added another sentence.
"As long as you agree to this condition of mine, from top to bottom, the entire Beasts Pirates, including myself, will all obey your orders."
Saint Saint Saiwen pretended to find it difficult and fell into thought.
With the ability of Observation Haki and mind-reading, the conversation between Saint Saint Saiwen and Kaido was as if he had seen the very color of Kaido's underwear.
Falling into thought was merely to make the act complete.
Seeing Saint Saint Saiwen's face show difficulty, as if he were struggling, Kaido spoke again to entice him.
"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.
You wouldn't want the Four Emperors to still stir up blood and rain in the New World after you become the King of the World, would you?"
"As long as you agree to this condition of mine, with the Beasts Pirates and the Flying Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates and the All Blue Kingdom are nothing to mention; in a few years, the old woman Charlotte Lingling and Whitebeard will all be old, while I will still be in my prime."
As if these words took effect, Saint Saint Saiwen nodded with a look of difficulty.
"No problem, Senior Kaido, I agree; what condition do you have, speak."
The three members of the melon-eating group sat motionless in place, watching Saint Saint Saiwen and Kaido converse, their hearts and eyes full of something wrong, ten out of twelve points wrong.
According to Saint Saint Saiwen's personality of never suffering a loss, it was impossible for him to discuss matters with Kaido so politely; there must be something wrong here.
Only Kaido was seen desperately suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, I have only one condition: after you become the King of the World, you must marry Yamato, and have several sons with Yamato."
As the words fell, the three members of the melon-eating group were instantly dumbfounded, and their hearts immediately began to complain wildly—
Kaido, such a stubborn fool, has fallen into the trap.
Saint Saint Saiwen came here in the first place to propose!
And Saint Saint Saiwen's face was full of astonishment, as if he had completely not expected Kaido to make such a request.
"Senior Kaido."
"This... is not very good, is it?"
