If it were just Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, it would be fine, but if two of them met, it would make the World Government very nervous.
Should we try to stop it?
Aokiji frowned and asked Garp, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"There's no need. Kaido is the kind of guy who thrives on chaos. Coming here on Whitebeard's 70th birthday, he definitely isn't here to offer his congratulations."
"Besides, we can't stop them now. Let's just wait and see. If they die together, that would be even easier."
At this moment, everyone on the island was happily celebrating their feast.
Erica, Kanae, Rin Tohsaka, Whitebeard, and Lu Li.
This was the first time the five of them had met in person, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
At that moment, a person rushed over with a drastically changed expression.
"Dad!!"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Kai... Kaido of the Beasts is here with his pirate crew!!"
"What?!!"
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates' crew changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Lu Li raised an eyebrow, not expecting that he would not only see Whitebeard this time, but also Kaido?
"What's this guy doing here at this time?"
Marco's face looked extremely grim.
Who is Kaido of the Beasts? He is known as the strongest creature in the world, and like his father, he is one of the Four Emperors of the New World.
Unlike Whitebeard, who was plagued by illness, Kaido of the Beasts is currently in his prime, at the peak of his strength.
Today is Old Man Kaido's 70th birthday, and it's clear he has ill intentions for coming here at this time.
"Kaido of the Beasts?"
Rin Tohsaka looked at Whitebeard with curiosity, naturally unaware of who Kaido of the Beasts was, being from another world.
Whitebeard said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just an annoying guy."
Erica noticed the worried expressions on the faces of those around her: "Whitebeard, is Kaido of the Beasts very powerful?"
Ace was very surprised: "You don't even know Kaido of the Beasts? Where did you come from? Kaido is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, just like my father, but he's definitely not as strong as my father."
Marco said with a serious expression, "Dad, should I go and stop him?"
My father's health is not good, so we can't let Kaido fight him anymore, otherwise his health will only get worse.
Whitebeard waved his hand dismissively and said, "No need. If he wants to come, let him."
Chapter 84 It's time to settle the score.
Soon, Kaido arrived on the island with the three great calamities of the Beasts Pirates and many of his pirate crew.
Marco stepped forward with a serious expression and asked, "Kaido, what are you doing here?"
Kaido saw Marco's lips curl up into a slightly sinister smile: "Oh? It's Marco! I really admire you. Your Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Phoenix form, is perfect for our Beasts Pirates. If you join my crew, I can make you the vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates."
Kaido cherishes talent. Most of the Whitebeard Pirates are useless, just a bunch of haphazard sons taken in by the soft-hearted old man Whitebeard. He doesn't think much of them.
But Marco is different. Marco is a true talent. He not only manages the Whitebeard Pirates very well, but he is also extremely powerful.
If it weren't for Marco, the Whitebeard Pirates would have collapsed long ago, given Whitebeard's physical condition.
Therefore, he really wanted to recruit Marco.
Marco scoffed, "Who wants to join your Beasts Pirates!"
"Don't be so sure of yourself! Whitebeard is getting old, he might be gone anytime soon. Instead of letting these guys fend for themselves, wouldn't it be better for you to join my Beasts Pirates?"
Marco's expression darkened upon hearing Kaido's words: "Kaido, if you're only here to say these things, then please leave!"
"Hahaha! No need to be so nervous! Just kidding! Isn't this Brother Whitebeard's 70th birthday banquet? As a former comrade-in-arms, it's not too much for me to come and have a drink, is it?"
"Sure, but you can only go alone."
"no problem."
Kaido readily agreed. He had always fought alone in the past, but this time, upon hearing that Whitebeard had gathered the entire Whitebeard Grand Fleet to celebrate his birthday, he brought his men to lend a show of support.
"Then please!"
Marco led Kaido toward the island.
Members of the Whitebeard Grand Fleet stood on both sides of the road.
The rest of the crew watched Kaido's subordinates warily, especially the three top members of the Beasts Pirates.
"Drought" Jack said unhappily, "Tsk tsk, Whitebeard is really stingy. We all came to wish him a happy birthday, but he didn't even dare to let us pass."
'Plague' Quinn didn't care at all: "I think it's fine. That's the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard. I don't want to face him up close."
'Drought' Jack didn't think it was a big deal: "He's just a grumpy old man, and I heard he's having health problems. What's there to be afraid of?"
'Jin the Wildfire': "Shut up! You can underestimate anyone, but you can't underestimate Whitebeard. That man is old, but at his peak, he was undoubtedly the strongest in the world. Boss is gone, we just need to wait patiently for the signal."
Kaido brought the main fighting force of his pirate crew, clearly not just playing house with Whitebeard.
If given the chance, they would not hesitate to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates.
Before long, Kaido was brought before Whitebeard by Marco.
Wow! It's so high!
Rin Tohsaka thought Whitebeard was tall enough, but the other person seemed to be even taller than Whitebeard.
Lu Li also took a closer look at Kaido. Kaido was extremely tall and burly, with long black hair, a pair of buffalo-like horns, a long beard, and dragon scale tattoos on his left arm.
His upper body was naked, with an X-shaped scar on his right abdomen, a purple coin hanging from his waist, and two gold chains hanging from the hem of his shirt.
He wore wide, dark green trousers, a shimenawa (traditional Japanese rope) around his waist, and a purple fur cape, making him look like a 'demon' incarnate.
Just standing there gives off a powerful sense of oppression.
Kanae's expression turned grave: "So strong!"
This is someone whose strength is absolutely formidable, which can be discerned with just one glance.
Erica nodded solemnly. The pressure from Kaido made her feel as if she were facing a powerful, rebellious god.
Although Kaido's height wasn't as large as the boar avatar she had seen before, she felt that the boar avatar of Veleslana wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from this man.
The atmosphere became tense as soon as Kaido of the Beasts arrived. Kaido glanced around, smiled lightly, and plopped down on the ground opposite Whitebeard.
"Old man with the white beard, it's been a long time!"
Whitebeard's face darkened: "Hmph! Kaido, you actually dare to show your face in front of me? Have you forgotten how you treated Kozuki Oden?"
Kozuki Oden was Whitebeard's sworn brother, but he was later killed by Kaido in a despicable manner, an event that remained a deep pain in Whitebeard's heart.
However, since Kozuki Oden did not return to the Whitebeard Pirates as promised, he was already considered to have left the Whitebeard Pirates. It was his own choice, and Whitebeard naturally respected it.
So when he later learned that Kozuki Oden had been killed by Kaido using despicable means, he did not take action against Kaido. After all, he chose to fight Kaido for someone who had already left the Whitebeard Pirates.
This is irresponsible towards those sons who have entrusted their lives and fortunes to them.
Kaido smiled nonchalantly: "That's ancient history. I want to conquer Wano Country, and he resisted. That's all. After all, we are pirates, and I'm just following the rules."
Whitebeard's beard trembled with anger. Indeed, it was precisely because Kaido followed the rules that he had no reason to attack him.
What brings you here this time?
"Isn't this Brother Baihu (Zhao Zhao)'s 70th birthday? As his younger brother, I naturally want to have a drink with him. After all, this is a birthday celebration with my brother, but next time I might have to drink his farewell wine."
"What did you say? Publish!"
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates glared angrily at Kaido, and the impulsive Ace even wanted to attack him.
Whitebeard snapped at Ace, "Get out of the way!"
Hearing what Whitebeard said, Ace reluctantly retreated.
Whitebeard said to his men, "Pour the wine!"
Two men carried a large bowl, while two others carried a wine barrel to pour wine for Kaido.
After the bowl was filled, Kaido lifted it with one hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha! Fine wine!!"
Seeing that Kaido had finished his drink, Whitebeard stood up and said seriously, "Since the drink is finished, let's begin. There are some scores we need to settle."
Chapter 85 Lu Li VS Kaido
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Kaido revealed a sinister smile and slowly stood up: "That was satisfying!! I knew it was Brother Whitebeard who understood me best."
Kaido certainly didn't come here to celebrate a birthday; he never had such good intentions.
He came here to fight Whitebeard, and it would be best if he could kill the old man.
If today is Whitebeard's birthday, then this time next year will be Whitebeard's death anniversary.
It wasn't just other pirates who coveted Whitebeard's head; among the Four Emperors, few didn't covet it.
"Dad..."
Marco immediately wanted to speak up to stop him; as the ship's doctor, he knew his father's health condition better than anyone.
Fighting ordinary people is fine, but fighting Kaido would be terrible.
suddenly!
A voice rang out, saying, "Dad, today is your 70th birthday. You're still not ready to take action. How about I act in your place?"
Everyone turned to look at Lu Li upon hearing this, for it was Lu Li who had just spoken.
The Whitebeard Pirates were incredulous upon hearing this, thinking Lu Li had gone mad.
Who is Kaido?
That's one of the Four Emperors of the New World, known as the strongest creature in the world, a true figure standing at the pinnacle of the world.
Lu Li is indeed quite strong, and he even defeated Ace just now, but the gap between Ace and Kaido is too huge.
He actually volunteered to fight Kaido; isn't that just courting death?
However, to their surprise, Whitebeard did not refuse immediately, but hesitated.
Seeing Whitebeard's expression, Kaido also turned his gaze to Lu Li.
"Kid, you actually dare to say you want to fight me? You've got some nerve!"
"But I'm not interested in you. You'd better go home and drink your milk! Hahahaha!"
Kaido saw that Lu Li was just a kid who hadn't even reached adulthood, and didn't take him seriously at all.
In his eyes, only Whitebeard and Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates were worthy of his attention; the others were not worth mentioning at all.
"Alright! Then you can deal with him!"
Surprisingly, Whitebeard actually let Lu Li deal with Kaido, and even sat back down in his chair.
Kaido's expression changed, and he said with a grim face, "Whitebeard! What are you doing? Are you underestimating me? You actually sent a brat who's barely out of his skin to fight me?!"
Whitebeard smiled and said, "Lu Li is no brat. He is my son. Although he is young, he is the vice-captain of my Whitebeard Pirates."
Kaido frowned: "Vice-Captain?! Him?"
The Whitebeard Pirates were divided into sixteen divisions, each with a captain, but there was never any mention of a vice-captain in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Marco is qualified to be the deputy commander, but who is this kid? He's never heard of him before.
"Kid, are you sure you want to fight me?"
"of course."
"Alright! Then I'll take you down first! And then I'll fight Whitebeard."
Kaido was getting angry. How dare Whitebeard look down on him like that? He wouldn't mind killing Whitebeard's son right in front of him.
