Chapter 116 You only saw me step out with my left foot, but you couldn't see the spiked club hidden behind it.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was nearing evening.
Deep in the alley at the edge of Tree No. 1, Kaido sat on stacked wooden crates, his hands supporting the blood-glowing spiked club in front of him.
In front of him, Quinn was giving a stern lecture.
"You trash should be happy; it's an honor for you to serve Boss Kaido!"
"This is an honor that your ancestors would pray for for generations!"
"Now, laugh!"
A dozen or so monkeys, who looked about 8% like monkeys, grinned and revealed rather ugly smiles.
Quinn nodded in satisfaction.
The frustration in my heart began to dissipate.
It's not easy. After suffering so much from Kaido, he finally has a way to vent his anger!
"Hey, your smile isn't bright enough. Are you looking down on the great Kaido?!"
Ok?
Kaido first glanced at Queen, who was acting like a bully, before slowly looking at the monkey-man leader whose collar he was holding.
"Wait, wait a minute!!"
The man who was arrested wore a golden headband, had no eyebrows, and looked fierce.
"I'm trying to think of words to praise Boss Kaido!"
"But after thinking for a long time, I realized there were no words that could be used, because Boss Kaido is just too great!"
"I, who am so insignificant, can no longer comprehend that godlike grandeur!!!"
A sense of foreboding flashed through Quinn's mind.
Oh no, this guy is even better at flattering me than I am!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Kaido, and when he saw his boss looking satisfied, his expression turned even uglier.
This guy actually dares to compete with me for my favor!?
Quinn loosened the man's collar and said with a forced smile:
"Since you admire Boss Kaido so much, I'll give you a chance to show off."
"We're going to visit Kronos Van Buren's slave auction house later, so you'd better behave yourself."
Upon hearing this, the monkey leader, who was kneeling with a golden headband on his head, began to tremble violently.
"Cronus, no, no, no!"
Under Quinn's gentle persuasion, the Golden-Clad Monkey quickly changed his tune.
"That bastard Chronos is not someone to be trifled with, Lord Quinn!"
"That guy has the Celestial Dragons behind him. I heard that half of the good stuff that was sent over recently was dedicated to the Celestial Dragons."
"It's confirmed that Celestial Dragons will be attending the auction that starts in a few days. Didn't you see the Marines patrolling during the day?"
"They're doing this to prevent a repeat of the accidental death of a Celestial Dragon; Tree Number One is practically becoming a model neighborhood in the Sabaody Archipelago!"
Having finally gotten the information he wanted, Queen turned to look at Kaido, convinced that his boss must have heard those words as well.
as predicted.
Kaido walked toward the monkey-man who had just unexpectedly revealed crucial information.
"You're saying the Celestial Dragons will participate in this auction?"
The monkeys didn't understand why, but they knew this was an opportunity to show off.
They immediately chimed in with their own information, "That's right, and it's not even a Celestial Dragon!"
"I heard there are two of them. That slave trader Cronus is going to make a fortune again!"
"The price of mermaid slaves has skyrocketed now, wow, 1493 really was the best of times!"
Are there two Celestial Dragons left?
Kaido licked his slightly cracked lips, suppressing his overwhelming joy.
"Quinn, have them leave first, and gather here the day before the auction."
Quinn nodded, grabbed the golden-hooped monkey man's collar again, and said viciously:
"Kid, you heard that too. If I don't see all of you here in six days, I'll only target you."
"They are all your subordinates. If you can't even control your subordinates, you might as well sink into the depths of the sea."
Do you understand?
The golden-hooped monkey-man nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring them there on time!"
After the monkey-men left, Queen approached Kaido and whispered:
"Boss, should we change the plan?"
"No, this is the plan."
Kaido suddenly revealed a Conan-like smile, as if to say, "Victory is assured, I am the little black man in the shadows."
"You think I really need that much fighting power?"
"Quinn, you only see me step out with my left foot, but you don't see the spiked club I'm hiding behind."
"Those slave traders are all ungrateful bastards. I just want them to spread the wrong information."
Quinn was stunned, but quickly started flattering him after he realized what was happening.
"As expected of Kaido, but boss, I still don't understand."
"Didn't they recognize us? Even if I didn't mention the Beasts Pirates, they should have heard of you, right?!"
"People who make a living in the underworld are all shrewd; how could they not recognize me?"
Kaido mysteriously produced the bounty poster and intelligence.
[The Coffee Monkeys, an organization that specializes in kidnapping giants as slaves, bounty: 9100 million Berries]
"These guys are Kronos Van Buren's trusted men, but I never expected to run into them here."
"Luckily, I was prepared in advance and asked Xia Qi for all the information about the alien slave traders."
Quinn blinked in shock, snot running down his philtrum, looking utterly stunned.
Was Kaido always this smart?
Queen had always thought he had seen through Kaido's scheme, but he never expected that his boss would be standing on the seventh floor.
But I only saw the third level.
"As expected of you, boss!"
"Your intelligence makes me wish I could disappear into the ground. Compared to you, my brain is like a monkey's brain that's been soaked in water."
A constant stream of sincere flattery poured from Queen's mouth, and Kaido nodded in satisfaction.
"When it comes to brains, only that brat Bazel in the entire Beasts Pirates can barely compare to me."
"The others—ha, even if I gave them half a brain, they would never come up with such a plan."
Quinn immediately became serious, and his words became more affirmative.
"Captain Kaido, it's been a long time."
Just then, a tall figure with a hooded turban appeared around the corner ahead.
"Captain Neptune's enormous size led him to appoint me as the messenger for this mission."
"The Neptune Army has sent 300 elite soldiers this time, which is enough to overturn Area 1 of Trees!"
Jinbe, if there were a ranking of loyalty in the entire Ryugu Kingdom, this male fishman in front of me would definitely be in the top 2.
Although he wasn't very familiar with the other party, Kaido considered himself to be at least a friend.
"It's been a while. This time, I really have to thank you fish-man adventurers for saving my life—no, twice!"
adventurer?
Is it Tiger Woods?
Jinbe took off his hood and asked curiously what was going on.
Kaido shook his head and said nothing more: "I will handle this personally. Fisher Tiger is in a terrible place."
"You fish-men don't need to get involved in this mess with me. I'm a pirate."
"Even if you can't win, you can still run around. But you fishmen only have one place now, so you can't even run away if you want to."
Jinbe didn't care too much. In his heart, Tiger was the strongest fishman in Fishman Street and even the entire Ryugu Kingdom.
He is an extremely powerful individual from whom no accident could possibly occur.
"Go back and tell Neptune that when the moon is high in the sky, that's when we make our move."
Kaido took out a semi-transparent silk scarf.
"These silk scarves have been hung at the target location. I'll create chaos there, and you fishmen can take the opportunity to snatch back your mermaid slaves and then immediately return to the sea."
At first, Jinbe simply nodded and listened, but as he listened further, he realized something was wrong.
"Return to the sea!? We fish-men are not cowards who abandon our allies!"
Jinbe was completely unfazed by Kaido's glare:
"If I cannot uphold the principles of benevolence and righteousness, then I would rather die on the path to achieving them!!"
"Lord Kaido, you don't need to say anything more. You have sacrificed so much for our Fish-Men. If Captain Neptune had returned to port immediately after retrieving the merman..."
"I, Jinbe, will definitely stay behind to help you draw the enemy away!"
Queen was so moved that he burst into tears and placed his hands on Jinbe's shoulders.
"Good brother, the task of retreating is entrusted to—.Pururu!!"
With a single blow, Kaido sent Queen flying. He stood up, and the shadow cast by his tall figure loomed over Jinbe.
"Jinbe, I admire your loyalty, but..."
"I am the governor of the Beasts Pirates!"
"I'll remember Tiger's kindness for the rest of my life, but I will never again let a friend cover my tracks!"
"This is a disgrace to me!!"
Not far away, Quinn, slumped in the sewage, had his eyes rolled back, his limbs twitching, and a tiny Quinn ghost slowly flew out from his slightly open, thick lips.
Quinn: (()) - died.
