Execution...

The fact that those two words came from Kaido's roar was quite surprising.

Moore scratched the back of his head and exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, is it that simple? I thought I would resist!"

Kro relaxed his tense body and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was already prepared to help suppress Kaido should he rebel.

"Listen up, you brat, Kuro! I have two requests!"

Kaido glared at Kuro and roared, "First of all, I want a grand spectacle, not a clandestine execution. Whitebeard died in front of a huge crowd, I want that too, otherwise I won't be so willing to be killed!"

Kuro thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "No, if it drags on for too long, you'll recover, and I don't want to take the risk."

Kaido grinned maliciously: "You're afraid of me?!"

"When did you develop the misconception that you, as one of the Four Emperors, are not feared by anyone? I am not afraid of you, but it will cause a lot of trouble."

To be honest, Kuro isn't afraid of Kaido, but he's too troublesome. Giving him time would be like letting the guy go, which definitely won't work.

Kaido's smile widened. "Looks like I still have some intimidation power, Kuro. Just aim for my heart and give me a stab!"

Splash!

Kaido made the thick chain mixed with seastone shake violently, which made Kuro's eyelids twitch. A golden light covered the blade, and at the same time, blood began to emanate from his body.

The shaking stopped the next moment, the chains were clearly loosened, and a gap was exposed at the chest area.

Kaido bared his teeth, "Sarcasm, Kuro, this way!"

Kuro looked into his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigar, and said, "The second one."

Kaido's eyes shifted to Yamato, who was sitting bound to the side, and he said to Kuro, "Kuro brat, what do you think of my daughter!"

“Doesn’t look like your child,” Kuro replied directly.

How could a burly, dark-haired man give birth to a delicate little girl with white gradient hair? She doesn't look like his biological daughter at all.

Kaido laughed loudly, "Oh ho ho ho ho, that's undoubtedly my child, but what about the others?!"

"Not bad, Mythical Zoan type, and Conqueror's Haki. Give her time to grow, and she might not be weaker than you," Kuro said.

"That's good! Kuro, that's good. My second request is to make her feel pain. She's too naive. Let her experience it properly in Wano Country and see what will happen to her after I die!"

Kaido laughed loudly, "You can do whatever you want with her. Her strength can be used by you, and her body can be used to cultivate better offspring for you. The power of the descendants of demons is very strong!"

Kuro already knew that Kaido wasn't human, since normal humans wouldn't have horns.

The ocean is not only inhabited by normal humans; there are too many other races.

Kaido is a half-demon, and his horns, which are almost identical to those of the ancient demon race, are irrefutable proof. This race has another name in Wano Country, which is 'Oni'.

"Hello!!"

Before Yamato could even speak, a voice rang out from the side. Lida, her eyebrows furrowed, approached and spat at Kaido, shouting, "Kuro would never do that! He's a decent person!"

As she spoke, she looked at Kuro with expectant eyes, "Right, Kuro!"

Kuro: "..."

He couldn't help but look at Yamato. He didn't know who had tied him up. The sea stone chains didn't completely bind him, but instead started wrapping around his shoulders, all the way to the middle of his chest, then around his abdomen, and finally extending to his thighs, forming a leg ring.

It's...pretty good-looking.

“Kuro!” Lida bared her teeth.

"Hmm?" Kuro's gaze did not change direction.

"Hey!!" Lida yelled.

At this moment, Kuro turned his head and said in a serious tone, "Yes, I'm a serious person!"

Kaido's smile widened: "Do with me however you like!"

"oh?"

Kuro narrowed his eyes, staring at Kaido for a long while, then looked at Yamato, who was glaring angrily at Kaido, and shook his head: "Really..."

An awkward father, isn't he?

"I agree."

Upon hearing this, Lida and Yamato both looked over, their gazes almost murderous.

“Of course, I mean, I agreed to your execution request, but nothing else,” Kuro added.

"snort."

Lida snorted, shifting her gaze from Kuro to Yamato.

This woman...

She has white hair just like her!

It has a gradient of white fur, with blue and green accents, and it looks really good!

My fur is pure white!

Lida bared her teeth at Yamato like a puppy, revealing her ferocity.

Yamato's ears twitched, noticing Lida's hostile gaze, and he retaliated defiantly.

"Ora ra ra! Well then, stab me here, Kuro, that way I won't have any fighting power." Kaido thrust his chest forward.

Seeing this, Kuro loosened his grip, the pervasive blood aura disappeared, and the Haki faded from the blade.

“There’s no need for that. Since you want a public execution, I don’t want the world to know I abused you, making me seem petty, Lida…”

"Waaah..."

Lida and Yamato bared their teeth at each other, letting out low growls like wild beasts.

"Lida!"

"Hey!"

Lida realized what was happening and turned to look at Kuro.

Kuro glanced at Kaido, and Lida thought for a moment, then understood what was going on. She walked to Kaido's enormous body, reached out, and touched his calves, which were not bound by seastone.

"drink!"

She opened her eyes, unleashing a burst of white light, and her body involuntarily grew larger. She absorbed a large amount of vital energy, causing Kaido's recently recovered strength to rapidly deplete.

He had just woken up and didn't have much energy to begin with. Without using his Haki, he wouldn't be able to withstand Rita's abilities.

With her abilities developed to this level, Lida can plunder more than just physical strength; she can also plunder spirit and energy, which is enough to stop Kaido.

"Kuro, here you go!"

Soon, Lida washed away the little bit of strength Kaido had managed to recover, and then patted Kuro on the body, saying, "Energy feedback!"

A white light flashed from Kuro's body, and the injuries he had sustained from Linlin's punch had mostly healed.

He shifted his body, making a crackling sound, glanced at Kaido whose aura had clearly weakened, and said to the crowd, "Prepare to set up the execution platform. Also, Kuro, contact the Seven Warlords of the Sea and have them come over. Tell everyone in Wano Country that the time will be determined after all the Seven Warlords have arrived. Tell them I'm going to execute Kaido!!"

"Ororororo..." Kaido chuckled softly.

"We've met so many times already..."

Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly said, "It's a pity that the sea will lose an opponent like you. I'll grant your request."

While alive, Kuro didn't want to provoke Kaido, but since he was about to die, Kuro wouldn't mind satisfying this former adversary.
