Kaido's massive dragon body seemed to be restrained.
The next second.
A hideous crack tore through the scales on his abdomen, extending several meters, and blood splattered.
The tornado was cut open.
Kaido belatedly stopped his movements, his massive dragon body rapidly shrinking, transforming into his Dragon-Human form.
He reached out and touched a subtle new scar on his chest.
His face was filled with disbelief.
"You actually wounded me?"
Kaido stared at the blood on his fingers, unable to recover his senses for a long time.
Ever since he was wounded by Kozuki Oden back then, he had never been injured again, especially in his Azure Dragon form, which was his strongest defensive state.
"My apologies, I was negligent earlier."
Kaido gripped his spiked club, turned his head, and looked at Zoro, who was immobilized by the invading Haki, and said, "What a ferocious sword! Tell me your name!"
"Roronoa Zoro!"
Zoro turned with difficulty, staring intently at Kaido.
"You've got guts!"
"I'll remember you. Let me use the world's strongest body to end you!"
Kaido raised his spiked club, and a Haki-infused strike crashed into Zoro.
Thunder Bagua!
Zoro struggled to block with his blades, but he was sent flying by the immense force, the whistling of air filling his ears, and he plunged straight into the sea.
Kaido let out a mad laugh, saying, "Don't be in a hurry to die, kid. My name is Kaido, Governor of the Beasts Pirates!"
"See your own weakness, then surrender to me. I'll be waiting for you at Onigashima in Wano Country!"
A severely weakened moss-head floated on the sea surface.
He was at his limit, barely managing to pull out a Life Recovery Potion to sustain himself, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up again.
He could only let the waves carry him back to shore, where he was then shackled by Kaido.
"Next, it's you!"
Kaido turned his head, staring fixedly at the distraught Nami and Sanji.
Although Nami's abilities were not related to Devil Fruits, he was still very interested in them and wanted to take her back to Onigashima as a collectible.
Demonic Acid Rain!
Molten Potion!
The ground turned into a sea of lava-like fire, boiling with scalding lava bubbles.
The sky was covered by dark clouds, constantly raining highly corrosive acid, blocking Kaido's path.
After releasing two large-area crowd control skills,
Nami quickly picked up the unconscious Luffy, put him into Sanji's arms, and whispered, "From what Kaido said, he won't kill me and Zoro for now. You take Luffy and run, find a chance to save us!"
"But, Nami-san, you…"
Sanji initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Nami's determined gaze,
He carried Luffy, and only after Nami's figure became more and more distant did he angrily punch a tree trunk, growling, "If I can't even protect the woman I love, what kind of chef am I?!"
After Sanji had gone far away,
Nami forced a smile and said, "Boss Kaido, I am willing to surrender."
"Good."
Kaido saw the obedient Nami, nodded in satisfaction, and likewise put special shackles on her, saying, "You two, take me to find the Game Merchant!"
He hadn't forgotten his initial goal of coming to the East Blue.
Zoro's face was grim, unwilling to bother with Kaido, but Nami secretly kicked him.
Nami smiled ingratiatingly, "Boss Kaido, we don't know where the Game Merchant is. He only appears after we hunt down a Contaminated Lord."
"I also want to become a Reincarnation Game player, what should I do?"
Nami said very obediently, "Eat a contract fruit, and you can become a player after completing a mission."
Anyway, these were all well-known facts in the East Blue.
Even if she didn't say it, Kaido would quickly find out, so it was better to say it and show submission to lower his guard.
Then seize the opportunity to escape.
Kaido inquired, "Do you have a contract fruit?"
Nami quickly shook her head, "The Game Merchant constantly distributes contract fruits, just like Devil Fruits, you need luck to get one."
"Then take me to a larger town nearby to look."
Kaido climbed onto the going merry, sitting on the deck.
The two were dragged onto the ship by their shackles. Although unwilling, they could only silently set sail.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Soon, Kaido began to snore deeply.
The two wanted to break free from their shackles, but found it impossible; Kaido would wake up with the slightest movement.
Sailing along,
Kaido wantonly destroyed all the pirate ships and Marine warships he saw, capturing everyone onto the going merry.
Among them were players and ordinary people.
"You are all my collectibles. Kill each other to your heart's content, and contend for the true strongest. Even the Big Board members can be changed!"
Kaido was such a madman.
He didn't care about loyalty at all; it was a pure law of the jungle. As long as he was in charge, he had countless ways to make newly joined pirates loyal.
Explosive collars were placed around Zoro and Nami's necks.
It was hard to imagine that Kaido even carried these things when he went out.
He revealed a cruel smile, sitting at the highest point of the deck, looking down at the imprisoned individuals, and said, "As for the losers?"
He casually threw out an explosive collar.
Boom.
A crater was blown into the sea surface. If it had been detonated directly on someone's neck, no one would have survived.
"You two are the kids I favor the most. You'll be a team of two, and you must fight every round, resisting the attacks of everyone else!"
Kaido laughed maliciously.
Although he was burly, he wasn't a brainless fool; their plan to escape couldn't be hidden from him.
Since they weren't willing to join the Kaido Army, they could only accept his punishment.
He learned this trick from that guy Queen. He heard that Queen often played these games with the slaves in the mining camp, and most slaves would completely surrender after a few rounds.
Let's see how many rounds these two could last?
"Are you kidding, Boss Kaido? How can we defeat so many people?"
Nami looked around and swallowed.
Many of these people were players, and there were also millionaire-level pirates from the Grand Line who were also looking for the contract fruit.
If it was a one-on-one fight, it would be fine.
She believed in her and Zoro's strength, but if it was an encirclement, and they were restricted from being knocked out of the ring.
With such difficulty, they wouldn't be able to last long at all.
"Win, and you'll be Beasts Pirates' Headliners. Lose, and…"
Kaido didn't continue.
The recently exploded collar already indicated the outcome.
On the other side,
Usopp and Luffy slowly woke up in Shiroppu Village.
Sanji, who was guarding them, still had an anxious expression that hadn't improved in the slightest.
After learning that Zoro and Nami had both been captured by Kaido, Luffy forced himself to stand up and said, "I'm going to find Kaido and rescue Nami and Zoro!"
"We can't beat Kaido."
"I don't care! I'm going to defeat Kaido and rescue Nami and Zoro!"
Bang!
A punch landed heavily on Luffy's cheek.
Sanji clenched his fist, frowning as he looked at Luffy, and said, "What's going on, Luffy? Don't tell me you haven't noticed, you've become very strange!"
The old Luffy, though seemingly foolish like now, was actually very intelligent deep down.
Or rather, rough on the outside, but meticulous on the inside?
He loved adventure, longed for freedom, had the courage and confidence to achieve his dreams, disliked listening to stories, disliked lecturing others, and would not be disturbed by external factors.
He would run away when encountering a large number of Marines, and he would back down when encountering an unbeatable strong enemy. At the very least, he would think of countermeasures instead of charging in recklessly.
This was why they were willing to follow Luffy and become members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"I… I don't know!"
Luffy, having been punched, shook his head with a bewildered look in his eyes.
