Kaido stumbled back to Wano Country, though it wasn't that serious. By the time he was flying back, his injuries had already healed a lot.
Before, he couldn't feel the Shikon Jewel fragments, but now that he actually got four of them, he realized their effect. No wonder so many people at sea craved them.
Although Kaido was powerful, he wasn't very lucky. Every time he heard news of a Shikon Jewel fragment, the others had already fought over it by the time he arrived. And the people who got the Shikon Jewel fragments were either tough to deal with or had no information at all.
If even a tiny bit of information leaked out, it was guaranteed he would quickly become a corpse.
That's why Kaido only got them now, and he got four at once. Under the influence of these four Shikon Jewel fragments, his body was rapidly recovering. The damage Ann inflicted was terrifying, but with the help of these fragments, it was quickly healed.
By the time he was close to Wano Country, Kaido had already transformed into his human form. Although everyone basically knew about his cooperation with Wano Country, it was still done in secret. He had just brought about a great destruction to Mary Geoise, so wouldn't it be like handing himself over as a target if he openly flew back to Wano Country?
"The Holy Land of the World Government, huh? I wonder if they'll have the nerve to call it a Holy Land, a land of gods, after this."
When he arrived at the Capital of Justice and met Yuri, he found Yuri very happy. Upon seeing him, Yuri said:
A slight smile couldn't help but curve Kaido's lips. He had probably become the first person in history to damage Mary Geoise to this extent; even Roger hadn't attacked Mary Geoise back then.
However, he also knew that this success was mainly due to the sudden lightning storm and the Spatial Warp Device that allowed him to teleport instantly. Otherwise, he would never have achieved such a victory.
If it were a head-on assault on Mary Geoise, it would basically be impossible unless all the pirates joined forces.
"The World Government has collected eight Shikon Jewel fragments over the years." Despite his satisfaction, Kaido remembered the main reason for his visit. He extended his hand, and in it were four Shikon Jewel fragments.
If they wanted to cooperate long-term, the benefits had to be distributed equally. It was only right for him and Yuri to split them.
Yuri didn't hesitate. With a flick of his finger, an invisible force surged, lifting the four Shikon Jewel fragments from Kaido's hand.
Kaido wasn't surprised by this. The world believed Wano Country to be a technological nation, with King Yuri ruling the world's strongest army, yet he himself was supposedly incapable of fighting. However, Kaido knew that Yuri was also unfathomably powerful.
If you think about it, with Wano Country's advanced technology, how could they neglect the improvement of individual strength?
It's just that such individual enhancement would consume a lot of resources, and ordinary soldiers wouldn't receive it. But how could Yuri, as the ruler of a nation, not enjoy the top-tier treatment?
Especially since Wano Country was also trading with the World Government. The large quantities of weapons they exported each time were exchanged for goods of equal value with the World Government.
The super-soldier serum mass-produced by Vegapunk was also among these goods. Kaido had also received about ten tubes from Yuri, and he had injected himself, truly feeling some effect.
If Yuri were truly incapable of fighting, Kaido would have long ago smashed his head with his club and taken over Wano Country himself.
"Now it's the World Government's counterattack. You'd better be prepared for war." Having handed over the four Shikon Jewel fragments, Kaido was about to leave, but as he turned, he suddenly said:
Yuri's face showed no anxiety; he seemed to dismiss the World Government entirely. He replied, "Then let them come. A mere Mary Geoise is nothing compared to my Superpower Amplifier."
His eyes were cold, and it was clear that the World Government had truly angered him. Kaido completely understood this. After all, they not only stole the Superpower Amplifier but also destroyed its data. Even if Wano Country wanted to replicate it, it would take great effort, and there was no guarantee of success, with terrifying resources required.
The Superpower Amplifier, which represented countless efforts, was stolen, and Yuri directly smashed the World Government's headquarters to pieces. If the world knew about this, they would probably think Yuri was a lunatic. But if you have the strength, why tolerate others?
Since the World Government made the first move, naturally, they had to retaliate with strength. These eight Shikon Jewel fragments would serve as a way to bleed the World Government.
Kaido nodded and left without further comment.
He and Wano Country were now a community of interest. If the World Government, in its rage, decided to attack, he would naturally help Yuri defend it.
Although he suffered a setback in his fight with Ann, it was partly because he had just obtained the Shikon Jewel fragments and wasn't familiar with their power, and partly due to the different location.
Mary Geoise was Ann's territory, while Wano Country was his home ground. In the easily defensible terrain of Wano Country, if they blew up the bridge, even the entire Marine headquarters couldn't invade.
Kaido returned, and now the world was in an uproar. People were spreading the news of Mary Geoise's destruction as if they were going mad. Some people wondered who had the guts to do such a thing, while those who knew it was Kaido were preparing to watch the World Government make a fool of itself.
The mighty World Government being utterly destroyed by Kaido alone would shatter their prestige. Those who were just watching the spectacle naturally didn't know about Yuri's contribution, but the most elite figures in the world noticed the anomaly.
Kaido's strength was known to all, but achieving this was absolutely impossible. Not to mention that Mary Geoise was guarded by both the Marine headquarters and The Black Order, the internal defense of Mary Geoise itself was not to be underestimated. How could Kaido have done it alone?
Some people connected it to Wano Country, while others believed Kaido might have collaborated with demons, as he had a history. But regardless, this battle brought Kaido immense fame, with some even calling him the "Strongest Creature."
While praising Kaido, they were also waiting to see the battle between the World Government and Kaido, looking forward to the show. They didn't believe the World Government would simply swallow such a significant loss.
However, to their surprise, the World Government remained completely still.
Since the attack, they had been solely focused on rebuilding Mary Geoise. Inside, there was a deathly silence, as if they were truly going to endure it.
This made people frown. They hadn't expected the World Government to be so cowardly; they had been looking forward to a good show.
