Chapter 257 Kaido Moriah

“Woo-ha-ha-ha~ If Ross knew that I’m not dead, he would be unable to sleep or eat, hahahaha!”

“Mr. Kaido, you’d better not be exposed to the sea right now. If you want to take revenge on that Ross guy, I believe this information will satisfy you.”

“Oh? Let me see it!”

Kaido was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and he and Kurozumi Orochi were sitting in a big house, which was the home of the Kurozumi clan.

Ever since being rescued by Kurozumi Orochi and his gang, he has been receiving recuperation and treatment, and was only able to officially resume activities today.

However, the damage to the epidermis and the fact that it cannot be repaired for a long time have already caused deep-rooted damage.

In other words, the missing layer of skin can never grow back. This makes Kaido, who always likes hand-to-hand combat, furious, but there is no way, he definitely cannot beat Ross now.

He took the newspaper from the outside world from Kurozumi Orochi’s hand, took a quick look at it, and then he showed a look of surprise!

“Woo-la-la-la! God is really helping me! Ross’s daughter actually brought a little kid to Wano Country!”

Kaido roared excitedly, his mouth dry. If there was no wine beside him, he would have been so happy that he would have drunk himself to death.

But the black charcoal snake beside him directly poured cold water on him:

“Mr. Kaido, would you like to take a closer look?”

“Huh?! Didn’t that brat just have a fight with one of your samurai? What’s the big deal? Aside from Whitebeard and his gang, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!”

“Forehead………”

Kurozumi Orochi was a little embarrassed. The report in this newspaper was very detailed. Mona, the daughter of Ross, and Nasdaq Barrett, the “descendant of the devil”, went to Whitebeard Newgate’s territory.

A small-scale conflict broke out between them, and the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates’ Second Division, Kozuki Oden, fought fiercely with Barrett on Merin Valley Island.

The story ends with the defeat of Kozuki Oden. According to speculation, the goal of Mona and Barrett should be Wano Country, or to reach some kind of agreement with Whitebeard Newgate, with victory or defeat as the condition.

The newspapers clearly captured the appearance of Merinya Island before and after the war, and even included scenes of destruction on the surrounding sea level, which had a great impact on Kurozumi Orochi, who had been staying in Wano Country.

He never imagined that humans could be that strong, and he never expected that the next general of Wano Country, Kozuki Oden, would be so powerful!
And Barrett who can defeat Kozuki Oden…

Kurozumi Orochi looked up at the big man beside him guiltily. He was really worried whether Kaido could defeat the opponent. What’s more, Kaido had just recovered from a serious illness and his strength was not at its peak at all.

“Huh? What do you mean by that look? You look down on me, don’t you?”

Kaido lowered his head in a threatening manner. Of course, he noticed Kurozumi Orochi’s worry, but he was not angry about this, but about his cowardly attitude before the battle!

Kaido is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. The current Kurozumi Orochi is his student. As users of the mythical beast-type Devil Fruit, the brother and sister Kurozumi Chanmaru and Kurozumi Murasaki are very optimistic about Kaido’s teaching.

This was the reward he received for his training here, and the debt of gratitude for saving his life was to help the Kurozumi clan seize the country of Wano.

The Kurozumi siblings also promised him a piece of land to raise troops, which was on an isolated island near Wano Country.

It can be said that they are very sincere!

In this case, he should also teach Kurozumi Orochi, this coward, a lesson. The first thing is to teach him not to be so cowardly!
“No! No! Mr. Kaido, I definitely don’t mean to look down on you, I’m just worried about your injuries!”

When Kurozumi Orochi was frightened by Kaido, he immediately became irritated and began to find excuses for his previous thoughts, and Kaido’s current injury was the best excuse.

Kaido shook his head, this kid is really incorrigible.

“Kaido, Orochi is still a child and needs to be taught patiently. What do you think? Do you need us to help you cover up temporarily, or do you want to prepare some surprises for your enemies?

I can state in advance that Kozuki Oden’s strength is about the same as Shiki’s when he was young. My advice is to stay in seclusion and recuperate first, and avoid too many conflicts. Life is more important than anything else!”

The figure of Kurozumi Muchan pushed the door open and walked in, with an admonishing tone in his voice, not wanting Kaido to have a conflict or meet with Mona who were about to arrive.

If it weren’t for Kozuki Oden’s departure, even if she had ten thousand courages, she would not dare to do the thing of taking the place of Tao Jiang. That guy with two swords could definitely chop from the east to the west of Wano Country, and his fighting ability would be ranked among the best among the people she had seen.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is comparable to the young Shi Ji and the older Wang Zhi and John.

The guy who can defeat Oden is definitely not an opponent Kaido can deal with at this time.

At least we have to wait until he recovers to his prime before we have a chance of fighting or even winning.

“cut……”

Kaido groaned unwillingly.

Since he escaped, not only his skin, but also his domineering color had suffered a certain damage. When he wanted to release it, he would obviously feel a blockage, as if someone had pinched his reverse scale, and even after releasing it, it was almost out of his control.

He knew the reason, so he wanted to confront Mona and Barrett, and then look for a chance to take revenge on Ross!
Otherwise, he might remain stagnant for the rest of his life!

Heitan Muchan’s words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, but the oil was not poured on an open flame and could not burn at all.

Kaido was unwilling, but he was not stupid, so he acquiesced to Kurozumi Kuroshin’s proposal.

I stood up and didn’t want to stay here anymore.

“There’s nothing to worry about Kaido. You don’t have to have Conqueror Haki. Look at how many admirals and marshals in the navy have Conqueror Haki.”

“I’m so annoyed with you old woman! You don’t have the domineering color, how do you know how I feel right now! Those guys are used to being treated like dogs, how can they compete with me!?”

“Hey… the food and drinks have been prepared for you, don’t worry and eat and drink to your heart’s content. We are old friends, and I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Kaido paused as he stepped out of the doorway, then slowly left, saying before leaving:
“Thanks……”

Until Kaido left, only Kurozumi Kuroshin and Kurozumi Orochi were left in the empty room.

Kurozumi Orochi was puzzled. He didn’t understand why Kaido’s attitude changed so quickly, nor did he understand why he and Granny Murasaki said almost the same thing, but Kaido could only listen to the latter.

“Kaido is a very talented young man. You can’t compare to him in this respect. As for his ears, you don’t understand one thing, Orochi. He and I are friends, and you are just a student, or a junior.”

Kurozumi Muchan saw Orochi’s confusion and explained to him carefully:
“It is rare for seniors to be willing to listen to the advice of juniors, even if it is good in itself, they will not express it to you, because you are not worthy of being treated as an equal by them in terms of qualifications or strength.

If you are stronger than him, then everything you say is right! Your attitude is the direction that everyone else needs to follow.”

“So that’s how it is, Granny Muchan!”

Kurozumi Orochi suddenly realized.

Kurozumi Murasaki looked at Orochi with satisfaction. He was worthy of being the successor she chose. As long as her strength improved, the Wano Country would sooner or later belong to her Kurozumi clan!
…………“Eighty-one difficulties of royal power and wealth.”

“Poverty is the root of everything.”

“Dakto, the 73rd branch base in the East China Sea. Nice to meet you.”

“Forget the polite words. I’m here to take someone away. Where are they?”

The tall and thin man with wings, dressed in black and wearing a mask, asked in a deep voice.

On the opposite side, the head of the branch base, Dakdo, shook his head helplessly. The GM Army was really swift and decisive in its work. If Brother Sakaski hadn’t told him that the guy at the junction had a bad temper and was very strong, he would have to extort a toll no matter what!

“Don’t worry, that group of pirates have done well in the past two years. Moria is a good kid, but no one can lead him onto the right path. The same goes for his companions, they are all unfortunate orphans.”

While leading the way, Dakodo chatted to himself, but it was very awkward because the masked man next to him didn’t even pay any attention to him.

Helplessly, he had to shut up and took him all the way to the cafeteria of the branch base.

A tall figure in a navy uniform was showing off to his fans crazily. He looked energetic, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and exuded an inexplicable sense of security. He had no dignity at all. It was Moria who was captured and imprisoned here a few years ago.

Dakodo was transferred here to serve as the base chief shortly after Moria was imprisoned, and Sakaski also asked him to pay special attention to him.

However, it might be a misunderstanding. Dakodo’s care was real. He even recruited Moria and others as marines in just a few months to maintain law and order in the nearby waters.

Not to mention, Moria and others understood the nature of the hooligans, gangsters, and pirates very well, and helped Darko share almost all the pressure, and even received two consecutive commendations from the above.

If it weren’t for Sakaski’s interference, he would have been transferred to the G Department base to serve as an important clerk. But it’s not too late now. The day Moria leaves will be the day he is promoted.

“Hey, Moria, someone is looking for you!”

“Wow – it’s Mr. Dakoto, who is looking for me, the guy next to you?”

Moria swallowed the curry rice in his mouth, looked back, and saw Dakodo and the mysterious man beside him at a glance.

But soon, his eyes became alert. He felt the threat of death from the man in black, just like Ross who suddenly sat next to him that year!
It’s dangerous! It’s dangerous!
If Dakdo hadn’t been standing here, he would have been planning to run away at full speed.

This world is so scary. Every time when he is most comfortable and at ease, an inexplicable crisis will come.

After calming down, Moria suddenly had an idea and remembered what Ross had said to him. He looked at the man in black in front of him and understood a little. He said bluntly:
“Are you here to take us away from here? Let’s discuss it. I think being a marine is pretty good. Mr. Darko, I’m always willing to follow you!”

“Yes, yes, it’s great to be a marine. You get food and shelter, and you can bully those hateful guys whenever you want. It’s really wonderful except that you can’t beat up nobles. Mr. Darko is also very good!”

“Boss, I don’t want to leave here. I’m planning to get married.”

“What? When did you get the date? Tell me, who is it?”

Many marines who were dining together spoke up. They were all former pirates who followed Moria and have now been fully converted to regular pirates.

Of course, these people were all the first group of companions who went to sea with Moria. They were not real pirates before. Those real pirates are now either hiding or dead.

“This……”

Dakodo scratched the back of his head awkwardly and looked at the man in black beside him.

Things seem to be getting a little troublesome.

Jhin’s forehead was wrinkled behind the mask. When he thought that these guys were the team assigned to him by Long, he wanted to punch Long hard in the face.

Didn’t they say they could be taken away for training? It looks like they’ve already been trained by someone else!

“Well, I won’t make it difficult for Mr. Darko. How about we go out and talk? If it interests me, I will take my brothers and go with you. Of course, I won’t force the brothers who want to stay!”

Dakodo and the mysterious man beside him showed almost no disguising their expressions, and Moria did not want to make things difficult for his benefactor, so he planned to talk to the mysterious man alone first.

I guess he isn’t an unreasonable person…right?

Moria felt a little unsure. Fists were the best logic in the sea. This mysterious man definitely had the power to subdue everyone. It was up to him to decide whether he was reasonable or not.

“Come on…let’s talk.”

Jhin spoke, then turned and left.

Moria behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this was a reasonable guy. So he said hello to his brothers, informed Darko, and followed.

The two of them walked all the way to the beach at the coast. It was quiet and deserted here, and the gentle sea breeze was very suitable for the scene.

“Jie hehe, what do you do? If I leave with you, what should I do and where should I go?”

Moriah sat down next to Jhin and spoke directly to him without any polite words.

Jin nodded. He liked Moria’s style very much and replied:

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Jin, the commander of the first legion of the GM Army. The boss told me that I have a group of subordinates here and asked me to take them back. Do you understand?”

“GM Army?”

Moriah had never expected that this would be the way out Ross had arranged for him. This organization has now been identified as the most evil and hateful anti-world government organization in the ocean. He said:

“That would be very dangerous!”

“That’s not necessarily true. We have people in the upper echelons of the navy. Normal missions are just acting, but if we run into people from the World Government… hehe.”

“Will you die?”

“Even I might be sacrificed, do you think you will die?”

“Then I don’t dare to take my brothers to fight you! Life is pretty good now. We can help orphans if we have nothing to do, so that they won’t end up like us.”

“So you agreed?”

“I was once a man determined to become a great pirate! Do you think this kind of thing can scare me? And I don’t want my life to be controlled by others anymore. I need strength.”

“You go back and pack up. I can only promise that I will appear in the most dangerous place every time.”
