A dark figure glided down from the sky at high speed, its black wings fluttering gently as it landed before Kaido.
The figure was a handsome man with a serious and composed expression.
He had white hair, brown skin, and black wings, with a wreath-like tattoo around his left eye.
His physique appeared well-proportioned, tall, and sturdy.
He only showed this appearance when meeting with Kaido.
Normally, his entire body, including his face, was covered in dark clothing, wearing a mask and goggles helmet, a black double-breasted coat with two skull patterns on the collar, and black gloves, leaving no skin exposed.
The figure was none other than the top performer of the Beasts Pirates, King the Fire.
"Kaido-sama, isn't it too risky to let Yamato come into contact with Jin An?"
King's voice was deep, his eyes sharp as he stared at Kaido.
Seeing the smile on Kaido's face, King knew that the other party would not change his decision, as if everything was under his control.
Kaido picked up a large bowl and took a big gulp of sake, laughing roughly:
"That son of mine is always going against me; it's time to let him know the cruelty of this world."
"However..."
He paused, suddenly frowning.
"There are too few combat rumors about that kid Jin An circulating outside."
Kaido's gaze shifted to the still-bleeding wound on his chest, his expression changing slightly.
"That's how I suffered a great loss."
King keenly noticed the appreciation in Kaido's eyes for Jin An, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Kaido-sama, in my opinion, Jin An's uncontrollability is too strong... It's not good to keep him alive like this."
"If you ask me, we should cut the Gordian knot and kill him directly."
He reminded.
The immense sense of threat he felt when he first saw Jin An had not disappeared to this day.
He agreed with Kaido from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't want the other party to keep such a scourge by his side, after all, in his eyes, Kaido was 'Joy Boy'.
Moreover, he didn't quite trust his captain's judgment.
King couldn't count on both hands the number of times he had gone out with a guarantee and returned with a body full of injuries.
"According to news from the Navy, they have mobilized a lot of manpower to find Jin An."
King continued.
"This guy is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
Kaido listened to what King said, unconcerned as he continued to drink.
"Alber, he is injured now,"
"And this is our territory."
"It's not that I don't want that kid to die, but he's still very useful."
"After we're done using him, it's hard to say if he can survive."
"Worahahaha!"
Kaido raised his head and laughed loudly, his hearty laughter echoing throughout the room, shaking even the ground.
King looked at the laughing Kaido, a trace of reverence in his eyes.
"Hopefully, if there really is an accident... I will handle everything."
He murmured in his heart.
......
In the dark cave, only faint light filtered through the cracks.
Yamato's sweet voice echoed continuously,
"Hey ya, hey ya..."
She was using all her strength to pull on the chains embedded in the wall, trying to break free.
Contrasted by this originally quiet atmosphere, Jin An's mouth couldn't help but twitch wildly.
Seemingly noticing Jin An's gaze, Yamato stopped, and the two looked at each other.
"Hey, I've been trying to help you, what's with that look?"
Yamato said angrily, her cheeks slightly puffed out.
Jin An was a little embarrassed, scratching his head, and forced a smile,
"I'm just afraid you're getting tired..."
Yamato didn't believe Jin An's nonsense, rolled her eyes at him, and continued to pull on the chains.
"Using seastone to make such long chains, Wano Country really has a lot of seastone."
Jin An said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Wano Country is rich in all kinds of minerals, otherwise Kaido wouldn't have occupied this place.
Yamato rolled her eyes, stopped her movements, and put her hands on her hips.
"Big brother, your situation is very dangerous right now, okay?"
"You're actually more relaxed than me..."
Jin An shrugged helplessly, continuing to maintain a relaxed tone,
"With you here, what do I have to fear? Besides, I can't help much now, I can only rely on you."
Yamato sighed, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Don't worry, even if I can't save you, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."
She patted her still flat chest and promised.
Sweat trickled down her forehead, but she didn't relax at all.
It would be best if they could escape.
Jin An looked at Yamato's back, feeling both touched and helpless.
He knew Yamato's personality; the more difficult things were, the less she would give up.
"Don't push yourself too hard; some things can't be done overnight."
Jin An gently persuaded, hoping she wouldn't be implicated because of him.
......
The waves surged, the sea breeze howled, and the sails fluttered.
On the sea, a ship flying the Beasts Pirates flag was advancing rapidly.
Caesar Clown stood on the deck, sweat constantly pouring from his forehead, his inner fear growing stronger with every sway of the ship.
Caesar cursed inwardly.
He didn't want to go to Wano Country at all.
Facing Kaido of the Beasts directly put him under tremendous pressure, almost suffocating him.
He gripped the ship's railing with one hand and unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other, feeling uneasy.
"Caesar-sensei, we have received news,"
A pirate hurriedly walked up to Caesar, his face with some scrutiny and disdain,
"Kaido-sama is very welcoming of your arrival and has sent Queen-sama to greet you."
Caesar's face instantly became paler, and the sweat on his forehead poured out like raindrops.
He cursed inwardly, feeling that he was really unlucky, having just escaped from the World Government only to run into the Beasts Pirates.
And what's worse, Kaido is very interested in his research, which means that not only now, but probably in the future, he won't be able to leave.
He forced out a smile that was more ugly than crying, his voice trembling slightly,
"That's really an honor..."
After saying that, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The pirate didn't seem to notice Caesar's abnormality, just nodded and retreated.
Caesar looked at the gradually appearing outline of Wano Country, his inner fear surging like waves.
He knew that Kaido was an extremely dangerous figure, and Queen's appearance would only make his situation more difficult.
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky..."
Caesar cursed in a low voice, helplessly closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, and trying to calm his emotions.
However, Caesar knew in his heart that in the face of such a powerful existence as Kaido, any struggle and resistance were futile.
He could only bite the bullet and meet his impending fate.
The sea breeze continued to howl, and the ship advanced straight towards Wano Country, while Caesar's mood became heavier and heavier.
He could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that he wouldn't provoke Kaido.
That way, his future days might be better.
