"Squard…"
Kaido remembered. In his previous life, this guy was one of the 43 pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, known as "Great Vortex Spider."
During the Marineford War, he plunged a filial sword into Whitebeard's chest... Well, Kaido, who was targeted by the unfilial Yamato, had no right to comment on that.
As for the other one... Kaido looked at the man with a shoehorn-shaped face... He seemed to be another pirate crew under Whitebeard in his previous life, "Thunder Lord" MacGuy.
Squard, MacGuy... It seemed that both "Two Guys" under the Whitebeard Pirates in his previous life had been captured by Wald. Kaido's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of malicious amusement.
And when they saw the great pirate, with a bounty of 3.5 billion Berries, sitting on a stone throne, two eyes gleaming with cold light cast down upon them, instantly making them feel as if thorns were on their backs, and goosebumps erupted all over their bodies.
It was as if not a human being sat before them, but a higher-dimensional life form transcending the level of life itself... Cold sweat poured out.
All the words Squard wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Less than a year after setting sail, he encountered the pirate Wald, who had a bounty of 750 million Berries.
That's right, Wald's bounty had increased again.
Squard, young, reckless, and arrogant, naturally refused to submit to Wald. Even after being beaten black and blue by Wald, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat.
"Thunder Lord" MacGuy appeared more composed than Squard, but only relatively so. The moment he was transported to Winter Island, MacGuy could no longer maintain his composure!
He struggled, knocking over two escorting Marines, and was then kicked in the face by Bullet, who had emerged from the palace. He slammed into the stone wall like a cannonball, spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam, which contained two teeth.
Damn it, are kids nowadays really that strong?
Oh, it's Bullet, the "Devil's Descendant" with a 150 million Berries bounty. Then it's fine.
Afterward, Wald personally escorted him. Thunder Lord discovered that this kingdom was full of famous pirate crews. At a glance, he saw seven pirate Captains with bounties over 100 million Berries.
He had long heard that the Beasts Pirates had sixteen pirate crews under its command. He thought it was an exaggeration, but now he saw that there were even several more that hadn't appeared in the news, listed as forces under the Beasts Pirates.
It seemed they were all pirate crews that had only recently joined.
MacGuy broke out in a cold sweat. This island was simply a gathering place of evil, a nest of devils.
Of course, besides seeking adventure and thrills, the reason he set sail was to survive in this terrible world.
The joint exploitation by the Marine and the kingdom had long made his life miserable.
After offending the local nobles, MacGuy immediately chose to set sail.
If he could join the renowned Beasts Pirates through this, it wouldn't be a bad way to survive.
However... MacGuy braced himself and looked at Kaido: "I can join you, but let that kid who beat me today fight me again. If he wins, I'll join you. If he loses, you let me go."
Wald slapped MacGuy across the face, his eyes wide with anger, and cursed, "You brat, don't push your luck. You're just a prisoner, a defeated foe, and you dare to negotiate terms with us."
MacGuy stiffened his neck, glaring at Wald.
"So, Wald, who is the person he's talking about..."
Kaido narrowed his eyes, immediately knowing who it was from the vision of the future: "So it's Bullet? Hmph, I'll give you a chance, Wald. Call Bullet to the training ground."
Half an hour later, at the training ground.
Bullet had changed into a black uniform and stood in the snow, looking at MacGuy opposite him with a playful and disdainful expression.
MacGuy flexed his wrists and drew the rapier from his waist.
"Kid, today I'll show you why my title is 'Thunder Lord.'"
MacGuy held the rapier upright, and threads of electricity appeared on the blade, crackling.
Paramecia, Static-Static Fruit!
Bullet raised his chin, a slight smirk on his lips: "I don't care what 'Thunder Lord' you are, watch me crush it all."
As his words fell, Bullet proudly strode forward, walking briskly towards MacGuy.
MacGuy was startled, not expecting Bullet to walk directly towards him, but soon his surprise turned to anger. His face suddenly darkened, his shoehorn-shaped face slightly twisted.
MacGuy watched Bullet approach. The moment he entered his attack range, he lunged with a thrust, imbued with lightning, aiming sharply at Bullet's left shoulder.
Bullet's eyes flashed. He slightly shifted his body to dodge, then slammed a powerful punch into MacGuy's abdomen.
Bang!
Like a heavy hammer blow, MacGuy bent over like a shrimp, his eyeballs bulging, his stomach spasming, and he vomited a mouthful of green liquid.
"So, so strong!!"
MacGuy's eyes widened. He endured the intense pain, quickly creating several meters of distance between himself and Bullet, his chest heaving, his breath slightly ragged.
He vigilantly stared at Bullet. The young man before him didn't look old, but his physique was robust, even subtly a head taller than him.
Indeed, no prominent figure in the New World was undeserving of their reputation. Bullet, at the age of twelve, had a bounty of 150 million Berries for a reason.
"Very perceptive... But no matter what you do, you won't be my opponent!"
Bullet took a step, and with a whoosh, only a dissipating air current was left in his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of MacGuy.
A powerful punch aimed directly at MacGuy's face.
MacGuy was startled. He twisted his wrist, blocking Bullet's powerful punch with his rapier.
But Bullet's punch carried the weight of a mountain.
Yamata no Orochi was already massive, with immense power. Even without transforming into a human-beast form, it would still alter his normal physical attributes to some extent.
As Bullet's massive punch slammed onto the rapier, the blade bent at a visible speed. The overbearing force struck MacGuy's chest, sending him flying dozens of meters backward, crashing into the wall with a thunderous roar.
"Electricity, huh? That's somewhat interesting."
Bullet felt a tingling sensation in his fist, but it was still within his tolerance.
Once the smoke and dust cleared, MacGuy lay sprawled in the rubble, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his breath weak.
Wald waved his hand, and immediately three medical personnel came up with a stretcher, taking MacGuy away for treatment.
Squard was dumbfounded at the sight. Even a mere kid from the Beasts Pirates was this strong?
He looked at Kaido sitting in the pavilion, Wald, Roya, Hiber, Abel standing behind him, and a dozen or so pirate Captains with playful expressions, and swallowed hard.
It seemed that he only had one choice left.
"I am willing to bring my subordinates and pledge allegiance to the Beasts Pirates."
