Chapter 102: Target, Wano Country! Chu Yang VS Kaido! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Just when Jinbe was in a dilemma, Chu Yang mentioned another person's name.

"Jinbe, do you know Hack?"

Jinbe didn't know why Chu Yang mentioned him, but nodded, "He is my friend."

"As far as I know, Hack has joined the Revolutionary Army and is responsible for teaching soldiers Fish-Man Karate."

Chu Yang revealed information that surprised both of them.

"Since Hack is there, it shows that the Revolutionary Army doesn't reject Fish-Men. In this way, we have a high chance of being able to cooperate."

Tiger laughed heartily.

"Then I'll set off tomorrow."

Jinbe felt much more relaxed, but still a bit worried, "Brother Tiger, should we tell everyone about this first?"

Tiger nodded. Alliance with the Revolutionary Army is no small matter. Even if he had already made a decision, he still had to listen to the opinions of the crew.

"Yang, you come too. Even if you're on the Four Emperors' ship, you're still our partner!"

Tiger stood up and walked toward the crowd, patting Chu Yang on the shoulder.

Chu Yang nodded.

Jinbe followed behind the two with a smile.

"Everyone! Pause the happy banquet. Next, I want to announce an important matter!"

Tiger walked to the center of the crowd, the bonfire shining on his face, flickering. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

The laughter gradually ceased, and the crew felt the serious aura on Tiger.

After everyone gathered their eyes on him, Tiger spoke slowly, stating his decision to form an alliance and cooperate with the Revolutionary Army.

An uproar broke out.

Since the establishment of the Sun Pirates, there had never been a precedent for cooperation with human forces. Being able to barely restrain their hostility toward humans was the result of quite a lot of effort over the past few years.

If they knew that Tiger had been betrayed by Koala's family on the island just now, they might have directly opposed Tiger's decision! "We can't save all the slaves on our own!"

"As long as the Celestial Dragons exist for one day, the evil act of human trafficking will not stop!"

"Because all the justice in this world exists around the Celestial Dragons. Their thoughts, every word they say, is axiom and justice!"

"As long as they need the Fish-Man race and other races to become slaves, then our being sold as slaves is nothing but normal."

Listening to Tiger's impassioned speech, the crew fell silent, because what Tiger said was a fact everyone knew.

It's just that hating the Celestial Dragons and opposing the Celestial Dragons are two completely different things.

Tiger saw the hesitation on the faces of his companions. He had said what needed to be said; as for how many people chose to be with him, that wasn't his problem.

Surprisingly, the first Fish-Man to stand up and support Tiger was Arlong.

As a representative of the radical faction, he only had hatred for humans. Whether the opponent was a Celestial Dragon or someone else, he didn't care.

"Should have done this long ago. All we need is war. Getting along with humans is dog shit!"

Arlong thought silently in his heart, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.

Afterward, more and more Fish-Men expressed their agreement.

Thus, Tiger decided to let Jinbe represent the Sun Pirates to go to the White Soil Island—Baltigo.

Baltigo is located in the first half of the Grand Line. The environment is very harsh, the land is severely desertified, and there is yellow sand and white stone everywhere, which can be said to be barren.

The name "White Soil" refers precisely to the barren land of Baltigo.

Such a climate is simply hell for Fish-Men! Half a month later, Chu Yang and Jinbe set foot on this land.

After seeing the desolation here with his own eyes, Jinbe couldn't help but ask, "How does Hack endure living here for a long time?"

Chu Yang smiled, "Faith, or will."

Jinbe sighed, "That guy is indeed a warrior with a very strong will. He was once the most famous karate master in Fish-Man District."

Chu Yang looked at Jinbe curiously, "Simply comparing the attainments of karate, who is stronger, you or him?"

Jinbe coughed, replying in a proud tone, "Hack is very powerful, but compared to me, there is still a certain distance."

Chu Yang felt that being able to say the word "powerful" from Jinbe's mouth meant Hack, as the karate instructor of the Revolutionary Army, had some skills.

"Yang, such a large island, how do we find the base of the Revolutionary Army?"

The environment of Baltigo is very harsh, the air is filled with yellow sand, and one must cover their nose and mouth when breathing. Even in the daytime, visibility is not high.

This made Jinbe very worried. If they couldn't find the Revolutionary Army as soon as possible, they might be in danger.

"Find it like this."

More than a dozen clones immediately appeared around Chu Yang, and under his instruction, they scattered and disappeared into the yellow sand.

Jinbe was dumbfounded.

"Was that my hallucination just now?"

"Just a special little ability, don't be too surprised, Jinbe."

Using clones to do a carpet search is a clumsy method, but it is very suitable for the current situation.

If it were other islands with normal visibility, Chu Yang could fly to the high sky and overlook the ground, and it would be easy to find the Revolutionary Army.

"You are the strangest ability user I have ever seen."

Jinbe looked at Chu Yang with a look of surprise.

A moment later, Chu Yang, based on the consciousness fed back by the clones, brought Jinbe to the location of the Revolutionary Army.

And the Revolutionary Army also discovered them.

A large number of armed personnel gathered, aiming their black gun barrels at Chu Yang and Jinbe.

Jinbe shouted, "I am Jinbe of the Fish-Man race, on behalf of Captain Fisher Tiger of the Sun Pirates, here to discuss cooperation with the Revolutionary Army."

At this time, Jinbe was somewhat famous. There might not be many people in the Revolutionary Army who knew him, but Tiger was different.

The burning of the Holy Land shocked the whole world.

Although Tiger was just a scapegoat, his fame was no less than that of the Four Emperors.

Hearing that the other party was sent by Tiger, the attitude of the Revolutionary Army guards was no longer so tense. After asking Jinbe a few questions, they turned and entered the base to notify the higher-ups.

Not long after, a Fish-Man man walked out of the base, and after seeing Jinbe, his face was full of joy.

"Hack!"

"Jinbe!"

Hack patted Jinbe on the shoulder and laughed, "They said Mr. Tiger sent someone, I didn't quite believe it, didn't expect it to be you!"

Jinbe responded with a smile, "Long time no see, Hack. Since I quit the Kingdom Guard, this is our first meeting."

Hack nodded, then asked, "Why did Mr. Tiger send you to find the Revolutionary Army?"

Jinbe said in a deep voice, "Brother wants to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army to fight against the Celestial Dragons together!"

Hack was shocked! Such a radical approach of standing up to oppose the Celestial Dragons is hard to imagine as the style of Mr. Tiger.

Because all along, in Hack's impression, Mr. Tiger had been actively avoiding the World Government, and even when rescuing slaves, he tried his best to avoid strong conflicts with the other party.

"What about the stance of Fish-Man Island? Caught between us and the World Government, it should be very difficult, right?"

"Heard that Princess Otohime is collecting signatures, hoping that Fish-Man Island can live in peace with humans..."

Hack looked worried. The more Fish-Man groups that oppose the Celestial Dragons, the more dangerous Fish-Man Island becomes as a country.

Him joining the Revolutionary Army alone and Tiger's group joining the Revolutionary Army are two completely different things.

"As of now, the Fish-Man race has no way back. Even if we don't do anything, this country has no status in front of the World Government!"

"Our compatriots will still be trampled upon as slaves!"

Jinbe clenched his fists excitedly, feeling indignant.

"Since Mr. Tiger has made a decision, I will support you. Come in with me, I'll take you to see the leader of the Revolutionary Army."

Hack gestured to the soldiers on both sides, and they quickly dispersed, clearing a path for Chu Yang and Jinbe to enter the base.

Besides the soldiers in front, Chu Yang's Observation Haki also discovered hidden soldiers in every corner of the base. They were still in a state of alert, some even still aiming their guns.

He didn't doubt at all that if he had the slightest movement, the other side would immediately open fire.

In the long-term struggle with the World Government, the combat literacy of the Revolutionary Army soldiers had been cultivated to be very high.

The two followed Hack to the second floor and met the leader of the Revolutionary Army—Monkey D. Dragon—in a small combat meeting room.

Also in the room were "Okama King" Emporio Ivankov and his assistant Inazuma.

In the corner, a little boy who had fallen into a coma was lying on a hospital bed.

Chu Yang was very curious why there was a child in the Revolutionary Army base?

After seeing Dragon, Jinbe took the initiative to explain the purpose of the visit.

Ivankov, who was in the room, was looking at Chu Yang, feeling that this young man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Dragon listened for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "I admire Mr. Tiger's deeds very much, and I am very happy that you have joined the revolutionary cause, but it is a pity that I could not see Mr. Tiger himself this time."

The two sides hit it off, and things went very smoothly. Chu Yang could see that the Revolutionary Army needed allies very much; they hadn't been established for long and their foundation was unstable.

Tiger's influence was extraordinary. That fire burned not only the Holy Land but also rescued many slaves, among whom were figures like "Empress" Hancock.

Hack played a crucial role. Without him, Dragon wouldn't have believed Jinbe's words so easily; he might have placed him under house arrest at the first opportunity and investigated in secret.

After reaching an agreement verbally, the meeting room was harmonious. Ivankov was still staring at Chu Yang. Dragon noticed his abnormality and looked over too.

Dragon stared at Chu Yang, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp, "Why is a crew member of the Four Emperors here too? Could it be that Red Hair is also interested in an alliance?"

Mentioning Shanks, Ivankov finally reacted. This young man before him had shone brilliantly in the encounter between the Marines and the Red Hair Pirates not long ago.

With his own strength, he could fight against several veteran Marine Vice Admirals, his strength approaching that of Captain Shanks, and he was called the left and right arm of Shanks along with Vice Captain Ben Beckman.

"Yang..."

Ivankov whispered the other's name.

Chu Yang said faintly, "I came here representing only my personal will, and it has nothing to do with Shanks. The reason I want to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army is because of my personal grudge with the Celestial Dragons."

Dragon asked unexpectedly, "Personal grudge?"

Jinbe suddenly explained, "Yang and Brother Tiger met because of that incident of burning the Holy Land."

Dragon and the others immediately understood the meaning of Jinbe's words.

"Looking at you, you should have been very young at that time, right?" Ivankov looked at Chu Yang with pity, "To have experienced such terrifying torture at that age..."

Chu Yang teased with a smile, "Thanks to the Celestial Dragons, I have the motivation to grow so fast."

Ivankov exclaimed, "What a powerful will. Most people couldn't bear that memory, and you can actually laugh."

Jinbe nodded, "In terms of willpower alone, Yang is indeed the strongest person I have ever seen."

After learning about Chu Yang's past, Dragon welcomed his joining, which was an unprecedentedly huge strengthening of the Revolutionary Army's combat power.

The Revolutionary Army high-level officials led by Dragon became exceptionally excited.

And Chu Yang also took the opportunity to put forward his own suggestions, stating plainly, "When I came just now, I observed this place. To be honest, Baltigo is not a good choice for a base."

"Using the naturally harsh environment here as a concealment condition, although it can avoid the search of the Marines, once noticed, the base is very difficult to defend."

"White Soil Island is very barren, there is no natural danger to use for defense. This is a location that is easy to attack and difficult to defend."

"This also means that members must be more careful and cautious in their actions, trying their best to protect this place from being discovered, greatly increasing the difficulty of the Revolutionary Army's operations."

Dragon didn't refute Chu Yang's point of view. On the contrary, he had the same view as Chu Yang, but the reality was that besides Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army couldn't find a better stronghold.

"We all understand what you said. At the beginning of the establishment of the Revolutionary Army, members raised similar objections, but the World Government's intelligence capability is very powerful, and we had no choice but to choose this place."

Ivankov said with a heavy expression, "The World Government has two secret spy organizations codenamed CP9 and CP0. We have fought against them in the war to liberate countries, and the other side is very powerful, especially in intelligence and assassination."

Chu Yang tapped the conference table with his finger, emphasizing again, "Therefore, I said this place is not suitable as a stronghold. Having worries only makes our actions restricted."

Dragon seemed to have sensed something, his mouth curling up, "Judging by your tone, it seems you have already found a stronghold for the Revolutionary Army?"

Everyone in the room looked at Chu Yang in surprise.

Talking to smart people is comfortable; they understood his meaning immediately. Chu Yang nodded decisively and spat out a place name.

"Wano Country."

Because of its special terrain, it is difficult for outsiders to enter Wano Country, let alone a large-scale invasion. It is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it couldn't be better as a headquarters.

The only problem is that they must defeat Kaido, who has already occupied Wano Country.

Dragon frowned, obviously knowing some of the situation in Wano Country, and was calculating the gains and losses and possibilities of the action.

"There are weapon factories there, and the trading parties involve the World Government, pirates, underground dark forces, and some big countries."

"If we take down Wano Country, we can not only strengthen our team but also deal a heavy blow to the World Government."

As soon as this was said, Dragon's eyes lit up!

At this time, the Beasts Pirates were not the behemoth they would be ten years later, and Kaido was not strong enough to make Dragon fearful.

The interests represented by the weapon factories in Wano Country were completely worth Dragon betting the future of the Revolutionary Army to take the risk.

More importantly, this plan also had the addition of Chu Yang and the Sun Pirates! If they could take Wano Country, the Revolutionary Army could have a perfect stronghold, and from then on, they would be even stronger.

Dragon felt that he had absolutely no reason to refuse! Before that, he had to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence. Even if he trusted Chu Yang, he couldn't make a decision rashly.

"In the near future, I will send people to Wano Country to find out the situation. After getting more detailed intelligence, I will decide whether to implement this plan."

Dragon's words caused quite a stir in the meeting room. Ivankov looked heavy. As a companion, he knew very well that Dragon's words were basically an indication of agreement.

"Then I'll go back first. Mr. Tiger is still waiting for the result. If you have an answer, you can let Hack come find us."

Jinbe handed his Vivre Card to Dragon.

After Dragon accepted the Vivre Card, to show the sincerity of the alliance, he prepared to take out his own Vivre Card in exchange, but Ivankov on the side suddenly spoke, "It's better to use my Vivre Card."

Dragon frowned, "No need for this, I trust Jinbe and Mr. Tiger, and they are Hack's clansmen!"

Ivankov rarely retorted with a tough attitude, "You are the leader of the Revolutionary Army, you are the hope of all of us, you can't be too careful. Of course, I trust Mr. Jinbe, but what if an accident happens?"

"If your Vivre Card falls into the hands of the World Government for some reason, it will be a devastating blow to us!"

Watching Dragon and Ivankov fall into an argument, Chu Yang interrupted them, "Let Hack and Jinbe exchange Vivre Cards, that's more meaningful."

Hack nodded with a smile, "After being friends for so many years, I still don't have Jinbe's Vivre Card, which is a bit of a pity."

Jinbe laughed heartily.

Dragon also realized that it was a bit rash to hand over the Vivre Card easily, so he took the opportunity to agree to Chu Yang's suggestion.

After the goal was achieved, Chu Yang and Jinbe stayed in Baltigo for one night and left the next morning.

As soon as they left, Dragon immediately sent people to Wano Country.

Chu Yang and Jinbe returned to the Sun Pirates and told Tiger the process of the alliance.

Hearing that Chu Yang and Dragon had set their sights on Wano Country, Tiger was stunned. He had no opinion on this, just that he was quite unfamiliar with this country.

However, knowing that it was the territory of the Four Emperors Kaido, Tiger's face gradually became heavy.

"Would this be too risky?"

"Any decision has corresponding risks."

"That's true, but the opponent is the Four Emperors. Launching an attack rashly will put us at an absolute disadvantage."

"It's okay, I'll be responsible for Kaido."

Looking at Chu Yang's confident expression, Tiger said no more.

He was just curious about what level Chu Yang's strength was now. He knew Chu Yang wasn't an arrogant person; without absolute certainty, he wouldn't speak to him in this tone.

Before the Revolutionary Army sent definite news, the plan to occupy Wano Country was temporarily kept secret. The crew only knew that the alliance had been successful.

About a month and a half later, Hack found the Sun Pirates with Jinbe's Vivre Card.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tiger took Hack to the captain's cabin.

Everyone focused their eyes on Hack, who took a deep breath and said, "Our intelligence personnel have basically figured out the current situation in Wano Country. Dragon agrees to take action against Wano Country and liberate this country."

"Dragon's proposal is to let our intelligence personnel continue to monitor the movements of the Beasts Pirates, and wait until Kaido or other executives leave the vicinity of Wano Country before taking action."

"The risk of taking on the Four Emperors Pirates at full strength is still too great!"

After listening, Tiger felt that Dragon's idea was very steady, which coincided with his own, so he readily agreed.

Chu Yang didn't care. With his current combat power, eating the current Kaido was not a problem.

Kaido ten years later is the gold-medal teacher; now he is at most an intern who just walked out of a normal school.

Seeing that neither Chu Yang nor Tiger had any objections, Hack's nervous expression eased. Next, he would stay with the Sun Pirates and act as a liaison between the two sides.

And the Sun Pirates also had to slowly move toward Wano Country, ensuring they could launch a surprise attack on the Beasts Pirates at any time.

Another half month passed.

"The time has come. Kaido's All-Star, King the Wildfire, has left Wano Country, seemingly because of an arms deal."

Hack received a call from the Revolutionary Army and then told Tiger and Chu Yang the news. Hearing about the arms deal, Chu Yang suddenly asked, "Did he leave in the direction of Dressrosa?"

Hack paused. The intelligence was indeed as Chu Yang said, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know?"

Chu Yang smiled, didn't answer, and turned to remind Tiger to set off for Wano Country.

At this moment, the Sun Pirates were already in the same sea area as Wano Country. If they moved at full speed, they could arrive by nightfall.

At that time, they could just take advantage of the dead of night to enter Wano Country.

Wano Country looks like an island, but the exposed part is just the tip of the iceberg. The real Wano Country is the part covered by the sea.

Because of this, the shape of Wano Country is like a mountain peak standing on the sea.

There are two ways to enter. The first is through the secret passage in the back mountain controlled by Kaido, but the secret passage is guarded by the Beasts Pirates and can only be opened from the inside.

The second is to enter from the waterfall in the front mountain, which requires going against the current, similar to Reverse Mountain entering the Grand Line, only more dangerous.

This is also why Wano Country is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This one road alone keeps countless armies out. Wano Country only needs to guard the waterfall entrance, and it is difficult for enemies to force their way in.

King kicking the Big Mom Pirates back into the sea is the best example.

Taking the secret passage in the back mountain definitely wouldn't work, so the Revolutionary Army and the Sun Pirates could only take the waterfall in the front mountain.

At the top of the waterfall are guards left by Kaido. As long as Chu Yang and the others try to reach the top, they will definitely be attacked.

Regarding this, Hack said that Dragon would personally take action to solve the enemies above.

Chu Yang guessed that Dragon was most likely a Logia ability user, and his ability should be related to storms, which could affect the weather.

Since Dragon could take action to solve the enemies on the waterfall, climbing the waterfall was not a problem at all.

What are Fish-Men best at? The answer is communicating with fish.

Carp can pull the Straw Hat crew into Wano Country, and of course, they can also pull the Sun Pirates and the Revolutionary Army in.

The Fish-Men jumped into the water one after another. Not long after, a large number of fish gathered near the pirate ship.

Countless schools of fish dragged the pirate ship up the waterfall. At the same time, the originally harsh environment off the coast of Wano Country was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.

Strong winds blew, and a rainstorm arrived.

The sky full of rain blocked everyone's vision, including the surveillance Den Den Mushi on the waterfall. The garrison personnel sitting in the monitoring room didn't know that someone had entered from the front mountain; they couldn't hear or see clearly.

The guards along the coast were all silently taken care of by Dragon.

Under the cover of the storm, the Sun Pirates and the Revolutionary Army successfully entered Wano Country.

Compared to the harsh weather outside, the interior of Wano Country was clear and sunny. Even those who were used to the strange weather of the Grand Line couldn't help but marvel.

After landing, Dragon immediately said, "Kaido and his executives are drinking and having fun in the Flower Capital. Now is a good time to kill him."

It had been six or seven years since Kozuki Oden died, and samurai across the country were constantly resisting Kurozumi Orochi's rule.

Kurozumi Orochi naturally didn't have the ability to suppress the samurai, so Kaido had to stay in Wano Country for a long time.

The construction of the Onigashima stronghold was still in progress.

About a dozen years ago, Gekko Moria had a war with Kaido here. Moria was miserably defeated, his companions were all killed in battle, but the Beasts Pirates also suffered losses.

Plus King going to deal with the arms deal, the combat power of the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country had been reduced.

There was no such thing as Tobi Roppo, Headliners, or Gifters now; Kaido's artificial Devil Fruit army was just getting started.

King going to Dressrosa was for this matter.

"The key to this operation is that we must take down Wano Country before King returns."

"If he returns for reinforcements and Kaido hasn't lost his combat ability, we who are fighting on the enemy's home turf will fall into an absolute disadvantage."

"To be safe, I'll deal with Kaido with you. We must solve the opponent in the shortest time."

"No need." Chu Yang rejected Dragon's proposal.

At this time, the Beasts Pirates had no Tobi Roppo, Headliners, or Gifters, and the several military commanders of the Revolutionary Army hadn't grown up either. Those who could fight were just Ivankov and Dragon.

Dragon didn't take Chu Yang's attitude to heart, just secretly deciding to help Chu Yang after solving Queen.

Dragon, who hadn't witnessed Chu Yang's battle with his own eyes, was skeptical about whether he could win the battle alone.

But from the existing intelligence, Chu Yang's strength definitely wasn't bad, and Dragon also had confidence in his own ability. The two working together would likely be able to take down Kaido.

To put it bluntly, Dragon trusted himself more.

Everyone rushed to the Flower Capital. The surprise attack was a race against time. Every second late increased the chance of King returning for reinforcements.

And at the same time, Kaido was accepting Kurozumi Orochi's hospitality.

There was singing and dancing in Orochi Castle, and people were living in misery outside Orochi Castle, with no one caring.

Kaido kept pouring wine into his mouth, his face flushed, his eyes blurred. He was at the proudest moment of his life.

Thinking of what the artificial Devil Fruit army would look like when it took shape, Kaido's excitement was like a volcano about to erupt.

He was going to launch an unprecedentedly huge war to sweep the entire world! In his haze, Kaido seemed to see the Holy Land Mary Geoise, seeing the giant throne deep in Pangea Castle.

There was a person sitting on the throne.

Kaido looked closer; it was a young man he had never seen before.

The young man suddenly stood up, walked slowly toward him, and greeted him kindly, "Kaido, are you sober?"

Kaido: "???"

"Lord Kaido, wake up!!!"

Kurozumi Orochi's anxious shouting echoed in Kaido's ears. Kaido woke up suddenly, only to see a bunch of strangers suddenly appearing in the banquet hall before him.

The young man with a kind smile on his face was only a step away from him.

"Who are you people?"

Kaido looked coldly at this group of uninvited guests. When his gaze fell on Dragon, he froze suddenly.

"We are here to liberate this country."

Dragon smiled politely.

"Revolutionary Army!"

Kaido stood up suddenly.

This seemed to be a signal. The Beasts Pirates members in the banquet hall quickly surrounded the Revolutionary Army.

Queen looked displeased.

The Revolutionary Army's approach seemed not to take him seriously.

"Revolutionary Army is one thing, but why are there Fish-Men? When did Fish-Men degenerate to mixing with humans?"

Kaido looked at Tiger in the crowd and teased, "The famous adventurer Fisher Tiger, have you also learned to wag your tail and beg for pity from humans now?"

Jinbe shouted angrily, "Shut up, Kaido, you have no right to judge Brother Tiger, you thief who stole someone else's country!"

Kaido laughed disdainfully, "Winner takes all, loser is the villain. The world of pirates is not as naive as you think. If you can't adapt, the next one to have their country occupied might be you!"

Jinbe was furious and wanted to retort, but Tiger stopped him and said indifferently to Kaido, "Winner takes all, loser is the villain. You must also remember this sentence when you lose, Kaido."

Kaido laughed wildly at the sky, "I will lose? Another guy who has lost his mind, hahaha!"

Other Beasts Pirates crew members also laughed wildly.

And Queen on the side was also laughing, the laughter echoing in the banquet hall, deafening.

He thought this group of people was very interesting, running to the Four Emperors' territory to talk nonsense.

Either they had absolute confidence, or like Kaido said, they had lost their minds.

Kaido's laughter was very noisy. Chu Yang picked his ear and walked straight to him.

"Hmm?"

Kaido looked down at this young man. From just now, he had been a bit conspicuous.

In the banquet hall, everyone's gaze also shifted to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang said softly, "Several years ago, in that decisive battle with Kozuki Oden, you lost, right?"

The smile on Kaido's face faded rapidly.

Chu Yang was still mocking, "Relying on your words, the pirate world shouldn't be so naive, but since you won by playing tricks, at least you shouldn't put on an invincible look like now."

Kaido's eyes became increasingly cold, "Do you want to die?"

Chu Yang grinned, "Haha, heard you also like seeking death?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Queen and the Beasts Pirates crew members all looked at Chu Yang in horror.

How dare he provoke Kaido in such a way? "Good courage!"

Kaido laughed ferociously, raised his "Hassaikai" and smashed it hard at Chu Yang, black lightning wrapping around the spiked club.

Thunder Bagua!

The enraged Kaido's first move was a kill!

And on the other side, the Tailed Beast Cloak quietly appeared on Chu Yang. He raised his left hand to take Kaido's Thunder Bagua head-on.

The Conqueror's Haki of both sides collided fiercely, and the aftermath quickly spread to every corner of the banquet hall.

Revolutionary Army, Sun Pirates, Beasts Pirates—people kept falling.

"This guy's Conqueror's Haki is actually on par with mine?!"

Kaido's pupils shrank suddenly, looking at Chu Yang in disbelief, slightly lost.

However, it was this moment of distraction that Chu Yang seized, raising his right hand and punching Kaido in the abdomen.

A full-force blow wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and Lightning Armor directly sent Kaido flying, smashing a hole in the wall of the banquet hall.

The banquet hall fell into absolute silence.

The moment Kaido was sent flying, Queen immediately rushed over, only to be blocked by Dragon, and the banquet hall instantly fell into chaos.

The Revolutionary Army and the Sun Pirates joined forces to deal with the Beasts Pirates. Even so, the two sides still had a gap in troop numbers; the number of Beasts Pirates was almost twice theirs.

Kurozumi Orochi fled as soon as the battle started, not even taking his loyal retainers.

The sound of killing in Orochi Castle resounded through the sky, and many residents of the Flower Capital noticed the anomaly there.

Until they saw a giant dragon circling above Orochi Castle.

"It's Kaido!"

"He's fighting someone!"

"Is it a samurai?"

Everyone discussed it.

The experienced elders had already taken their families and fled quickly. They had all seen the scene of Kaido using dragon breath to destroy towns, and that terrifying destructive power was a shadow that would never leave their minds for a lifetime.

Just as everyone in the Flower Capital was in danger and residents were fleeing, Kaido, who had turned into a dragon form, stepped on the flame clouds beneath his feet, climbing higher and higher, looking down at Chu Yang.

"With this intensity of Haki, you shouldn't be a nobody. Who exactly are you?"

Facing Kaido's doubt, Chu Yang didn't answer. He had two wooden swords in his hand, standing on top of a high building, his whole body exuding a murderous aura.

Seeing the other side ignoring him and taking out wooden swords as weapons, Kaido laughed in extreme anger, roaring, "You want to hurt me with those toys?!"

Chu Yang pointed at Kaido with the wooden sword, "That's right."

Kaido stared at Chu Yang with murderous eyes, light gradually gathering in his mouth. He was going to burn this

Turn the toy in his hand into charcoal! While Kaido gathered his dragon breath, Chu Yang was also using his Rinnegan to analyze Kaido's weaknesses; his Rinnegan possessed all the abilities of both the Sharingan and the Byakugan, and was even stronger.

Perhaps it was fate, but the weak point exposed in Kaido's body through the Rinnegan happened to be on the opposite side of the scar left by the "Paradise Totsuka."

After locking onto the target, Chu Yang bowed slightly, and his two wooden swords radiated completely different auras, with sunlight and moonlight reflecting off each other.

Breathing of the Source, First Form: Sun and Moon Rotation.

Kaido, about to exhale his dragon breath, noticed the change in Chu Yang. His stance with the dual swords suddenly made Kaido feel a bit dazed, subconsciously reminding him of a certain person, and the crisscrossing scar on his body began to ache faintly at this moment.

The anger hidden deep in his heart for many years erupted suddenly! Kaido opened his dragon maw, and the dragon breath spewed out along with his rage! Like blood-red light, it tore through the sky above the Flower Capital and, in the terrified gaze of the civilians, shot toward Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's entire body surged with lightning, and covered by the Lightning Release Armor, he transformed into a streak of silver light to meet the dragon breath.

The two met, like a torrent crashing into a reef, and the dragon breath exploded with a boom!

But Chu Yang, this "reef," moved against the current, braving the scorching dragon breath, and flew rapidly toward Kaido.

Seeing Chu Yang had already reached his face, Kaido was both shocked and furious, using all his strength to blast the dragon breath; in an instant, the red beam of light expanded tenfold.

The fierce battle in the banquet hall paused temporarily, and Dragon and Queen looked up at the firmament.

The civilians who were fleeing could not help but stop in their tracks and look back.

The collision between the silver light and the red light drew everyone's gaze.

That grain-sized silver light gradually disappeared into the red beam.

Queen was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter, "This is the end for those who provoke Boss Kaido, you damn guys!"

The crew members of the Beasts Pirates all burst into wild laughter in unison.

Dragon sighed; he hadn't expected Chu Yang to lose so easily. He shouldn't have been so concerned about the other party's face; he should have joined the siege on Kaido from the very beginning.

The current situation could not be any worse.

"Big Brother Tiger, what do we do? Yang seems to have failed..."

Jinbe and many other crew members looked at Fisher Tiger anxiously.

Fisher Tiger turned a deaf ear, staring at the beam of light above his head, a scene from the first time he saw Chu Yang flashing through his mind, as if it were only yesterday.

"Hahaha."

Fisher Tiger laughed out loud, his heroic laughter startling everyone, and they only heard him say a sentence that came out of nowhere.

"You brat, that fire back then was clearly set by you!"

Queen stared at Fisher Tiger and sneered, "Fisher Tiger actually can't handle the blow? Has he gone mad?"

Dragon glanced at Fisher Tiger, seemingly sensing something, and suddenly looked up.

Within the bright red, scorching dragon breath, an even more intense light suddenly erupted, just like a rising sun.

Such intense sunlight almost blinded Kaido; the dragon breath in his mouth stopped abruptly, and he let out a miserable wail.

Kaido coiled his body, wanting to retreat, but the sunlight suddenly shifted, becoming dark and profound, and an inexplicable suction force left him unable to move.

Following that, Kaido saw Chu Yang's figure amidst the two kinds of radiance.

The other party held dual swords, and the sunlight and moonlight were like wings, stretching out behind him.

At this moment.

Kaido seemed to see Kozuki Oden from years ago, seeing the heaven-shaking slash of the "Paradise Totsuka."

No! This time the scent of death was even richer! "No!!!"

Kaido shouted in terror, but his body could not move; part of this suction force originated from the moonlight, and the other part was one of the special abilities of the Rinnegan—Universal Pull.

The two wooden swords landed precisely on Kaido's body, and the sunlight and moonlight branded new scars onto his chest.

Destructive energy, even more terrifying than the "Paradise Totsuka," seeped into Kaido's body and raged wildly.

The title of the strongest physical body seemed like a joke at this moment.

The intense pain made it impossible for Kaido to maintain his Flame Clouds any longer, and he fell straight from the sky, smashing heavily onto the streets of the Flower Capital.

Fortunately, the civilians had long since fled, otherwise they would surely have been caught in the aftermath.

As Kaido fell, the laughter in the banquet hall also vanished, and every member of the Beasts Pirates looked at Chu Yang above the firmament in terror.

Unprecedented fear enveloped Queen.

Even though he knew the attack just now wasn't enough to kill Kaido, he still couldn't help but feel afraid.

Never before had anyone been able to suppress Kaido so easily.

"Your vitality is truly tenacious; if it were anyone else, that strike just now should have killed them," Chu Yang remarked as he watched Kaido slowly crawl out of the deep crater.

"Did I disappoint you? Then next, I'll have to get a little more serious."

Covered in blood, Kaido walked forward as his form constantly changed; dense, cyan scales grew on the surface of his skin, and his already burly body became even more robust.

As luck would have it, the place where Kaido landed happened to be a tavern, with many wine barrels stacked nearby.

Kaido picked up a wine barrel and drank it dry, but his footsteps grew faster and faster, eventually turning into a rapid sprint.

Black lightning coiled around his club, Hassaikai, and as Kaido swung it, it triggered bursts of thunder in the void.

"Drunken Dragon Bagua?"

Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he met him with excitement.
