"Brrr Brrr Brrr..." The Den Den Mushi in the Celestial Dragon's room rang abruptly.
Kaido, quick-witted, grabbed the Den Den Mushi, "Moshi Moshi, Kaido speaking!"
Noro facepalmed, speechless.
Did everyone in the One Piece world share a single brain?
Was this our phone? Why were you answering it?!
"Kaido? A remnant of the Rocks Pirates? So you're the one who killed Isolde Saint?" The Den Den Mushi immediately pressed.
Kaido nonchalantly admitted, "That's right, I killed him. But you should call me Captain of the Beasts Pirates now!"
Noro sighed, letting it go.
He waved away Stussy, who had a look on her face like she'd eaten shit, "Go, put all the valuables in the room into the Door-Door World."
Stussy, energized again, ran off to loot the treasure.
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising. I was wondering who in this world would dare kill a Celestial Dragon. So that's it," the Den Den Mushi muttered to itself.
Kaido frowned, slightly annoyed, "Hey, what are you mumbling about? And after all this, you haven't even said who you are?"
The Den Den Mushi introduced itself, "Ah, me? I'm Jaygarcia Saturn."
Kaido, hearing that the other party was the highest authority in the world, not only showed no fear, but laughed wildly:
"Worororororo... So it's Saturn old man. What do you want?"
Saint Saturn laughed in anger, what did he want?
Isolde Saint's Vivre Card had burned, meaning he was dead. His family had contacted the Five Elders.
The Five Elders were not only the highest authority in the World Government, but they were also responsible for the Celestial Dragons.
He'd called with a glimmer of hope, not expecting someone to actually answer.
As expected of a remnant of Rocks, as arrogant as their captain.
Saint Saturn's voice turned grim, "Do you know the consequences of killing a Celestial Dragon?"
Kaido looked indifferent, "Killed him, so what? It's not like I haven't killed one before. What can you do to me?"
"Hmph! You'll pay the price for your arrogance. You're no Rocks!" Saint Saturn hung up the Den Den Mushi, his face full of anger.
"Tch, anyone can talk big!"
Kaido turned around, smiling as he gave the Den Den Mushi a thumbs-up.
"Noro, he's bluffing!"
Noro rolled his eyes, feeling like he'd develop a three-white eye because of Kaido.
He didn't want to pay Kaido any more attention. This dragon got cocky with just a little praise.
Noro called out to Stussy, "Hey, Stussy, are you done yet?"
Killing was killing, but he wouldn't foolishly stay here waiting for an Admiral to arrive.
Kaido was only twenty-five now. You wanted him to fight an Admiral?
What a joke.
Even with him, it wouldn't work!
Confidence and arrogance were two different things!
Stussy, that money-grubber, had put all the Celestial Dragon's valuables into the Door-Door World, excitedly saying, "All done! Celestial Dragons really have the good stuff."
"You ain't seen nothing yet. I'll show you what real money is," Noro said, turning to leave.
The Celestial Dragons had many precious and rare items, but when it came to money, who could compare to them, who possessed a golden city?
Stussy's eyes lit up, hearing this. Was he going to take her to the source of their wealth?
She excitedly hurried forward, linking her arm with Noro's, her voice filled with excitement, "Where are we going next?"
"You'll see when we get there."
This woman had been tuned into Nami. It was time to move the golden city.
Roger and Luffy? When you get to Skypiea, you'll find there's no golden city. Nolan was a liar!
Kaido was puzzled. Why had the Vice-Captain ignored him again after answering the Den Den Mushi?
But Kaido didn't care. That was just how his Vice-Captain was. He quickly forgot about it, playing with the Horse-Horse Fruit in his hand, returning to the "Azure Dragon" with Queen.
Englar and Matty had washed up and changed, standing timidly on the deck.
Englar's wounds were slowly healing, the recovery power of Zoan-type Devil Fruits was terrifying.
Matty didn't have her brother's recovery ability. The scars on her body were clearly visible, and there was a shocking whip mark on her face.
And on her back, the invisible, yet constantly throbbing, mark of the Flying Dragon's Hoof.
New people had joined, in this situation, Kaido had only one thought.
"Let's have a banquet!" Kaido shouted excitedly.
Noro retorted, annoyed, "A banquet my ass!"
Kaido looked unhappy, "Noro, how can we not have a banquet when new comrades join?"
Noro sighed heavily, feeling tired.
Could he have a little sense of crisis? An Admiral was coming!
Rubbing his temples, Noro explained, "We'll have a banquet, but not now. The Marines will be here soon, let's go first."
Kaido mumbled, "Oh."
Noro continued to give orders, "Queen, steer the ship, head to Mock Town. Englar, you go with him, learn how to steer the ship as soon as possible. Stussy, you help Matty with her injuries. King, you continue to observe the sea!"
"Gogogo, let's move!"
...
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Saint Saturn hung up the Den Den Mushi, repeating the details to the other Four Elders:
"It was a remnant of the Rocks Pirates, Kaido did it. And he's formed his own pirate crew, called the Beasts Pirates."
Saint Topman Warcury's face was grim, "Those remnants really have no respect for the Celestial Dragons."
"Respect?" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro laughed, "Celestial Dragons are gods to ordinary people, but to them, they're not even human. At God Valley, almost all the Celestial Dragons were killed."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's sword tapped impatiently on the floor, "That's no reason for Kaido to be so arrogant. Even Rocks was defeated. Immediately issue a bounty and send the Marines to capture them."
Saint Marcus Mars shook his head, disagreeing, "No, no, no, we can't make this widely known."
Then he explained, "Few people knew about the God Valley Incident. That's why we could easily control the information from spreading."
"Now, the people of the world still don't dare to easily offend us. We can't let this incident make the Celestial Dragons fall from grace."
Saint Saturn, his index fingers crossed beneath his chin, "So we just let them go?"
"I didn't say we'd ignore it, I just said we can't make it widely known," Saint Marcus Mars said, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes:
"Send an Admiral to hunt down Kaido and his so-called Beasts Pirates. At the same time, order the Marines to check if there are any survivors of this incident. If there are, make sure to kill them all, leave no one alive. We can't let the news of a Celestial Dragon being killed spread!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
