Not only Rayleigh, but even the Straw Hat Crew was stunned. The Four Emperors Kaido wants to teach personally? Is this the effect of the protagonist's halo?!
In the palace at the top of Onigashima, Kaido tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of strong liquor, the liquid dripping down his blue-green beard. His thick fingers rubbed against the phone screen, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes.
"Wororororo..." Kaido's deep laughter echoed through the empty hall, scaring the attendants nearby into trembling.
"Interesting... truly interesting..." He stared at the black screen of the livestream, a brilliant plan already taking shape in his mind.
If he helped Luffy now, aided him once, and then went to Dressrosa, he could coincidentally bash that annoying brat Momonosuke to death with a single club strike... A grim arc spread across Kaido's lips.
According to the novel's setting, that kid Luffy valued gratitude above all else. Even if he found out the truth about Wano Country later, he probably wouldn't have the nerve to attack his "benefactor," right?
After all, he was Luffy's master and benefactor!
With that double buff in place, even Luffy wouldn't be able to handle it, right?
"Killing two birds with one stone..." Kaido guzzled down the rest of the wine and casually crushed the wine jug, shards scattering across the floor and scaring the servants into quickly kneeling.
Queen timidly approached: "Boss, what are you..."
"Wororororo..." The more Kaido thought about it, the more pleased he became. "Let me see, is repaying kindness more important, or is seeking revenge more important?"
He picked up the club hassaikai; the heavy weapon felt as light as nothing in his hands, and the Haoshoku lightning wrapped around it crackled.
"Thunder Bagua..." Kaido licked his lips. "I'll use this as a 'teaching tool' this time."
Just then, the Straw Hat Crew in the livestream agreed to Kaido's three-club lesson.
"Fine! We agree!" Nami suddenly frowned and asked with some confusion: "But there's a problem. How do you teach three club strikes online?"
Kaido's reply popped up immediately with thunder effects:
"Wororororo! Simple! Survive for one hour without dying, and I'll personally arrive to teach you! Remember to DM me your location!"
Nami bit her fingernail and weighed the options quickly. The other party was one of the Four Emperors of the New World; if he really wanted to harm them, he wouldn't need such tricks. She turned to look at her companions: "What do you think..."
"Let him come!" Zoro's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "If it's fake, it's a good chance to witness the world's top-tier strength."
Sanji puffed out a smoke ring: "Although I'm annoyed, this is indeed the fastest way to learn."
Robin stroked her chin: "According to the novel's description, er... the novel hasn't described it yet, it just mentioned that the person behind Donquixote Doflamingo is Kaido."
"It's fine, that's the novel. In reality, we haven't provoked Kaido yet, so we shouldn't have any grudges between us..."
"Then it's settled!" Nami gritted her teeth and DM'd the location coordinates to Kaido.
Rayleigh, seeing this in the livestream, was so anxious he jumped up and down: "Wait! You are drinking poison to quench your thirst!" He grabbed his remaining hair. "That guy Kaido's teaching mortality rate is as high as 99%!"
Nami suddenly turned the spearhead: "That's because what you taught was useless!" Her chest heaved violently with anger. "Refund! Now! Immediately! Right now!"
Rayleigh smirked and rubbed his hands: "Well... the money has already..." He pointed embarrassedly at the mountain of empty wine bottles behind him. "How about this, I'll teach one of you for free as compensation?"
"Huh?!" Nami snatched up the phone. "We've already finished the course, what else is there to teach?!"
Usopp suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Wait! Let Rayleigh teach Zoro!" He danced with excitement. "Hasn't Zoro's Haki not awakened yet?"
Zoro was stunned upon hearing this: "Me?"
Rayleigh on the other end of the screen stroked his chin and sized up Zoro: "Hmm... indeed, this moss-head kid's talent has been seriously wasted. He is the most talented swordsman I have ever seen; he will definitely become the Worlds Greatest Swordsman!"
"Old man, who are you calling moss-head!" Zoro roared.
Sanji lit a cigarette: "Who else here is green?"
"You're asking for death!"
Nami punched both of them, and they calmed down instantly: "Deal! But if you still can't teach him..." She revealed a devilish smile. "I'll expose you, you unscrupulous merchant, hmph!"
Rayleigh broke into a cold sweat immediately: "Young people these days are truly terrifying..." He wiped his cold sweat. "Then, green-haired kid, get ready."
Just then, Marine warships suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. They kept narrowing the encirclement, and eventually, they found the Straw Hat Crew!
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Usopp was scared out of his mind. "It's over, we're going to die!"
The others also looked tense!
"Hide, don't make a sound! Drag it out for as long as possible!"
Everyone immediately fell silent, counting the time in their hearts. Time passed second by second, and the group felt every second like a year.
...
Not long after, the going merry was finally discovered.
"Straw Hat spotted! Prepare for bombardment!"
Onigumo's roar pierced through the sea fog. Over a dozen Marine warships, like sharks smelling blood, surrounded them from all directions. The dark muzzles were already aimed at the Merry. Strowberry's long beard swayed violently in the sea breeze: "Let's see where you can run this time!"
Luffy grabbed Usopp, who was running around the deck: "Don't panic! I'll find a way to stall them!" His arm began to inflate and expand, but his Armament Haki was still flickering in and out.
Zoro tied his bandana tight, and all three swords were drawn at once: "Looks like we have to fight it out."
Sanji lit a new cigarette, and his right leg ignited with explosive flames: "At least we have to hold out until that dragon gets here..."
"Fire!" Onigumo's command flag swung down suddenly.
Just at this critical moment—
"Rumble!!!"
A giant lightning pillar with a diameter of over a hundred meters suddenly struck the sea surface. The blinding white light temporarily blinded everyone, followed by a dragon's roar that shattered the clouds, the sound waves kicking up a ten-meter-high tsunami!
"What... what is that?!" Marine soldiers pointed at the sky in terror.
In the rolling thunderclouds, a blue-green giant dragon broke through the clouds! Its winding body of several hundred meters blocked out the sky and sun. Every scale shimmered with a metallic luster, its dragon whiskers stirred up bursts of thunderstorms, and its golden vertical pupils were like two scorching suns.
"Wororororo!" Kaido's wild laughter rang out across the world, accompanied by thunder. "Good thing I made it in time!"
The giant dragon dove, the hurricane it kicked up shaking three warships incessantly. Kaido turned back into human form and landed heavily on the deck of the Merry, shaking the ship violently. He carried his club on his shoulder, and the wine gourd dangled at his waist.
"It's been a while since I flew at full power," Kaido took out his phone and checked the location. "Almost flew past it."
He suddenly gave a thumbs up to the livestream phone: "Thanks to TikTok, the location feature is so useful! Perfect accuracy!"
Ron, who was watching the livestream, twitched the corner of his mouth: "Even at a time like this, he's thinking about advertising for TikTok?"
