Before the World Government could even publish the newspaper announcing the end of the Four Emperors era, the first to receive the news were the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who had been invited by Kuro.
They received news that Kuro had stormed Wano Country, killed Big Mom, and captured Kaido, inviting them to Wano Country to witness Kaido's execution ceremony.
This news shocked all the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and also prompted them to take action.
They received orders from Kuro to meet up in Dressrosa and then travel together to Wano Country.
Meanwhile, Kuro wasn't idle in Wano either; he was personally guarding Kaido on the fifth floor.
Inside the massive fifth floor, there were destroyed buildings everywhere.
Kuro held a bottle of liquor in his hand, spat out the cigar in his mouth, took a few sips of liquor, and said to Kaido, who was tightly bound next to him, "What a waste. Fighting here, you've ruined such a good place."
"snort!"
Kaido grinned maliciously, said nothing, opened his mouth and bit the floating wine bottle, gulped down two mouthfuls, then exhaled a breath before saying, "Hey, Kuro, what are you going to do with my subordinates?"
"I don't know, we'll see when the time comes, but it's right to let them witness your execution first, so that your subordinates won't have any illusions."
Kuro sat there cross-legged and said in a low voice, looking at the huge hole left by the battle between the Straw Hats and Kaido, "You were defeated by the Straw Hats, what's your mentality?"
"Oh ho ho ho ho, if you continue to underestimate him, you'll suffer too, Kuro!"
Kaido laughed: "He defeated me, there's no doubt about that. The victor will have everything, and the seas will never be lonely again!"
“I know this better than you do. The era of pirates has never changed. From your old captain to you, and then to the new era, it’s just a normal change.”
Kuro chuckled twice: "I'm just curious, weren't you frustrated to be defeated by a newcomer?"
Kaido's face darkened, and he fell silent.
This guy has been arrested so many times and still lives arrogantly. It's rare to see him look so defeated. Take this opportunity to observe him while you can, or you'll miss your chance.
Kuro took another sip of his drink and said, "To be honest, it's not your fault. I got the information about you from headquarters. You fought people repeatedly without rest, and you were worn down by those resilient newbies. Plus, your own daughter betrayed you. You seem to be a loser in life."
Kaido grumbled, "Enough, Kuro! I'm a 'Sea Emperor' after all."
"You've been defeated by the straw hat."
"I am the Protector King of Wano Country!"
"You've been defeated by the straw hat."
"I am someone even your navy fears; no one can kill me!"
"You've been defeated by the straw hat."
Kaido: "..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Can we please not mention Straw Hat Boy!"
“You were betrayed by your daughter,” Kuro said quietly.
Kaido glared angrily at Kuro.
Kuro shrugged: "Don't get so worked up. You're about to die, so let's have a chat. We've known each other for so many years. You came out of Rocks penniless and have now made such a name for yourself. That's enough."
Kaido took two more sips of his drink from the bottle, exhaled a satisfying breath, and laughed loudly, "Oh ho ho ho ho, of course I can do it, because I am Kaido, and what I want is to change this boring world. I've had this idea ever since I came out of that laboratory!"
"A laboratory? I've heard of it..."
Kuro laughed and said, "I heard that the first time you were arrested, you ended up in a lab."
Kaido sneered, "Oh?! Kuro, you actually inquired about this? It's just another race's laboratory. I'm a 'Demon,' and King is a 'Moon Clan.' We were just subjected to endurance experiments. That kind of thing doesn't hurt or itch; it came out easily."
"There were some results after all. That peach dragon must have your genes..."
Kuro sighed, "Vegapunk is still very powerful, and his research on life factors is excellent, but he probably can't compare to you, a true Azure Dragon."
Kuro knew that Kaido had been arrested when he was young and taken to the World Government's laboratory. After all, he used to be the old man's subordinate and had communicated with Vegapunk about his technology. He had even met the crazy scientist who only knew how to do research.
Well, it's pretty sci-fi...
However, Kuro and he couldn't get along, and the man didn't communicate much.
Kaido laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, "Oh? Oden's son inherited his father's genes? Oh ho ho ho ho, how ironic!"
Kuro rolled his eyes. "You're such a loser, don't laugh at others."
Kaido fell silent, then suddenly said, "That straw hat... might be 'Joy Boy'."
"Happy Boy?"
Kuro chuckled, "I don't really understand that kind of thing, but bringing joy and hope to people is too much of a fantasy if it's just one person doing it."
“Exactly!” Kaido grinned. “I don’t believe in that stuff, so my approach to changing the world is to do it myself. This world has been dormant for too long! You can’t count on Linlin; she’s only looking after her own country. That kind of thing is impossible to achieve without changing the world!”
These words made Kuro glance at him, then he took out his cigar case, picked up a cigar and offered it to Kaido, "Want one?"
"I only love drinking!"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, not paying any attention, put a cigar in his mouth, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said in a low voice, "A bunch of pirates, talking about changing the world."
Kaido sneered, "Pirates are the ones with dreams! What do you Marines know? You're just lackeys of the World Government! You don't dare go to Laugh Tale. That thing would definitely shake the foundations of those idiots. I failed, but the times haven't changed. The people who pursue Laugh Tale are still here, and you can't stop them!"
"It's none of my business. I'm just a navy officer. No matter how the world changes, we'll still do what we're supposed to do."
Kuro said indifferently, "It's just a broken island. What's the use of going there? If you can become the Pirate King just by going around it, then why do you, Kaido, need to stay in Wano Country?"
Not everyone wants to become the Pirate King, and not everyone becomes the Pirate King by circumnavigating the world and finding the final island.
Whitebeard wasn't interested, Kaido had his own goals, Big Mom was content with her little world, Shanks, who surrendered, had no such intentions, and Teach didn't want the final island.
And Kuro...
He has a pointer; if all else fails, he can sink the island one day.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho, Clow, my subordinates are very useful. If you want to rule Wano Country, they are indispensable. The World Government is not so trustworthy either. You will have a better future here!"
Kaido's eyes gleamed with madness: "Do you want to inherit my position? With your abilities, you'll quickly rule the New World!"
He failed, and his dream failed.
But if this idea were instilled into this man's mind, then the world...
It will become even more violent!!
