A little girl, dressed in a kimono, was curiously looking around from the window. She had two horns on her head, just like Kaido's.
She is Kaido's daughter, Yamato, but she hasn't been brainwashed or possessed by a Horcrux.
"It's hard to imagine, isn't it? Kaido could have such a cute daughter. In that respect, Kaido and Oran are quite similar; they both suddenly announced one day that they had a daughter."
How is Oran's daughter doing lately?
"As for Miss Leliana, I think she could beat you up right now."
After some thought, Absalom gave a relatively fair answer.
"Hahaha, that's a good joke. How could Oran raise such a violent daughter?"
"But... I wasn't joking."
Lyliana was in seclusion recently training her Conqueror's Haki, and her practice focused on intimidation, even on the dragon Terra.
Psychological intimidation was ineffective against androids, and dragons were far more resilient than humans, so Terra was pulled into the training field by Lyriana.
So far, it hasn't been without effect; even Terra has gradually mastered this outrageous deterrent technique of Dragon's Might.
However, this made the cats living in the royal city feel very uncomfortable, and they would go out in groups whenever it was time for Leliana to practice.
This kind of biological intimidation made them very uncomfortable.
Recently, Lyliana even felt that brass knuckles weren't heavy enough, and started researching warhammers as a new weapon. Absalom was being polite when he said she was fighting Quinn, since there were fewer and fewer people willing to spar with Lyliana.
Aside from the sparring partners that Shiki and Oran fabricated, the sparring partners like Kuma and Frankenstein were no longer effective, as the intensity was simply not up to par.
"It seems... somewhat in line with his abnormal level of strength."
The things he creates are strong, and so is the daughter he raises, which in some ways aligns with Quinn's perception of Oran.
"Alright, let's talk about the chit-chat when we get to the Flower Street. Let's finish the important business first. The Flower City is quite a spectacle right now. There's some idiot dancing naked there every day."
"Nude dancing?!"
"He's a man, don't even think about it. This place is open at times, but it's also very conservative at others."
Queen could tell what the kid was thinking just by looking at Absalom's eyes. However, the person dancing was named Kozuki Oden, the true heir to the Shogunate of Wano Country.
Although he has a somewhat unique mind, he also possesses formidable martial prowess and maintains close ties with both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, when faced with the predicament of Wano Country, his choice was not to seek help or fight to the death, but to believe Orochi's lies and dance in public every day in Wano Country.
"Boring. What's so interesting about a man? I'll introduce you to Brother Brand next time."
"You seem to have misunderstood something. I just thought it was a bit of fun. Anyway, go ahead and start. If it weren't for your successful example and the fact that the second-generation potion was also perfect, even Kaido would have suspected that there was something wrong with this third-generation potion."
"How could there be a problem with the potion? This is Lord Oran's creation. It's just that your people are of poor quality."
As he spoke, Absalom's body swelled up, and he transformed back into a werewolf.
"Even I, who am so frail, can gain great power with Lord Oran's help. You guys failed simply because you didn't stick to your goals."
Think about your goals, then stick to them, and I refuse to believe you can't succeed.
Quinn was just saying it casually. He knew Oran's abilities very well and didn't mean to question him, but it still made Absalom feel uncomfortable. He instinctively defended Oran and carefully guided the two of them.
"Whether it's a goal, ambition, or even just spying, the bottom line is to endure this pain and accept it!"
Absalom was young, but he commanded the two people in front of him just like an instructor.
In the end, Holmund still fainted, but Babanuki succeeded in transforming into a bipedal African elephant.
"See, isn't that it? It's obvious that there was a problem with your previous selection of people."
Seeing that Babanuki had successfully acquired the Elephant Man's genes, Absalom smiled with satisfaction, but Quinn felt something was amiss.
The last time Absalom was instructing people, he wasn't this meticulous. Thinking about it carefully, the root of all this might be that the money wasn't in place.
"Hehehe, not bad, Babanuki, you are much stronger than the others. You are indeed the one who has persevered the longest."
Kaido appeared out of nowhere; it seemed he had been there all along but hadn't shown himself.
Looking at Babanuki, who could freely switch between elephant-man and human form, Kaido's face was full of satisfaction. He then said, "Men! A group of arrogant fools have invaded our territory. Gather all the Gifters and let them know how powerful we are!"
Babanuki, the Legion of the Gifters is temporarily under your command. Do not let me down!
As the first person besides Absalom to successfully obtain the third-generation potion, Babanuki naturally became the new leader and led his men to follow Kaido to the Ringo region.
"Quinn, you don't need to go. Just take good care of our guests. I can handle things over there."
"Understood, Brother Kaido, you can go in peace."
After Linghou, in a snow-covered region of Wano Country, the forces of Beasts and Gekko gathered here, but Beasts' two strongest executives, King and Queen, were not present.
Queen was greeting tourists, while King was outside handling other matters for Kaido.
"Go!"
"Let these people know how powerful the Moonlight Pirates are! Lord Moria is a Supernova with a bounty of 320 million!"
It took Moria a year from entering the Grand Line to reaching the New World.
In Piltover, Moria learned about the strength of the Grand Line, but he did not feel weak. As the battles increased, he also mastered Haki.
"These brats from Paradise really don't know their place! Go, guys, show these guys what the power of the New World is!"
"Awoo!"
"roar!"
"hiss!"
Kaido was met with the roars of numerous wild beasts. The second generation's beast-transforming potion had given these people a powerful ferocity, which was also the difference between the second and third generations.
But Kaido doesn't see this as a weakness; on the contrary, he considers it a unique advantage, which is why he is called the Beast.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"
The spiked club, wreathed in Haki, was swung out. Moria managed to block the attack, but given that he hadn't gained the upper hand against Kaido in his human form, the outcome of the battle was already predetermined.
