Onigashima, by the coast.
"Captain Kaido, is it really okay to let them go out to sea like this?" King stood beside Kaido, looking at the ship slowly leaving the harbor, and asked with some concern.
King was against Naruto and Yamato going out to sea because he felt that both Yamato and Naruto were still too young.
But since Kaido had decided to let the two brats go out to sea, he naturally couldn't continue to object, though he couldn't help but worry.
"Wororororo!~"
Kaido laughed loudly, picked up the gourd of sake beside him and drank for a while, then said, "What foolishness are you talking about, King? When I was their age, I was already fighting enemies on the battlefield. Besides, Yamato is my child.
If she dies at sea like this, it just shows that she's only capable of that much."
"That—that's true."
King thought of Yamato and Naruto's strength, and his heart was slightly relieved.
Although young, their combat power was not weak at all; at least, facing pirates with bounties over 100 million individually would definitely not be a problem.
Especially Naruto—King even felt that if that kid went all out, he might not be able to defeat him. With their strength, adventuring on the Grand Line should definitely be enough.
However, sometimes adventuring on the Grand Line, strength isn't the only condition for ensuring safety.
He hoped those two brats would be safe and sound.
King sighed softly in his heart, then looked at Kaido, his eyes flickering as he asked, "Captain Kaido, what about the World Government? Are we really going to war with them?"
"Of course!"
When Kaido heard King's words, his face immediately showed a brutal expression, and then he said angrily, "Wano Country is a territory I painstakingly conquered. Those guys want to take it away with just a few words. What do they take me for?"
Not long ago, after the World Government learned that Wano Country had been conquered by the Beasts Pirates, they suddenly sent CP spies to find Kaido.
They hoped to buy Wano Country from Kaido with money, thereby gaining control of the Grand Line's most important strategic resource—Sea Stone.
But Kaido had planned for several years to take down Wano Country, and he also had his own ideas for the place. How could he possibly agree to the World Government's demands and hand over such an important strategic territory and vital resources like Wano Country just for money?
So Kaido decisively rejected the World Government's request.
After Kaido rejected them, the World Government, seeing that soft tactics wouldn't work, threatened war, telling Kaido that if he didn't agree to their demands, they would send the Marines to conquer Wano Country.
Faced with this threat from the World Government, Kaido was even more disdainful, directly telling them that if they wanted war, then let them come!
"I understand."
King already knew Kaido's decision, so he wasn't surprised when he heard Kaido say this. He just nodded silently, then said, "If war breaks out, Marineford might also get involved. With our current strength, facing both the Marines and the World Government simultaneously might put us in a very passive position. Should we find some allies?"
Although Kaido was very strong-willed verbally, King knew that he was actually under great pressure; after all, they were about to face a behemoth like the World Government.
King even felt that Kaido might have already prepared for defeat, or even mutual destruction; otherwise, he wouldn't have let brats like Yamato and Naruto go out to sea on their own.
Of course, he certainly couldn't say such things; otherwise, he would definitely be greeted by Kaido's kanabo, so he could only suggest finding allies.
They were just pirates. Facing an existence like the World Government, finding some allies and joining forces wasn't shameful.
However, if they found allies, they would definitely have to share some of their profits; it just depended on whether Kaido was willing.
"Are you mocking me, King?"
Kaido heard his words, looked up and glared at him, then raised the gourd of sake in his hand and drank deeply, immediately smashing the gourd to the ground and laughing loudly. "Wororororo! Whether it's the Marines or the World Government, if they want my territory, let them all come at me!"
"Who do they think I am?"
"I am Kaido of the Beasts!"
