Chapter 262 By any means necessary

"If he wants it, I'll give it to him. I won't be as stupid as her and lose her life for a piece of broken stone." Shanks looked nonchalant and casual. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then gently put the glass down. "Hawkeye, don't you think this guy is interesting?"

"Interesting? Humph, he's just a guy who will do anything to achieve his goals." Hawkeye Mihawk frowned slightly, with a hint of disdain on his face.

At this time, Ben Beckman, a crew member next to him, came over and interrupted, "Captain, this matter is not that simple. This person suddenly appeared and disrupted the situation at sea. I don't know what his purpose is."

Shanks smiled and said, "Who cares? Let's continue sailing and enjoy the freedom of the sea."

Another crew member, Jesus Bu, also came over and said, "But Captain, what if he comes to cause trouble for us?"

Shanks waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Come on, we Red Hair Pirates are not afraid of anyone!"

"That's not necessary. It's enough for me to know that my swordsmanship still has room for improvement. As for finding him, I'd better wait a few more years." Hawkeye Mihawk stood up and walked to the edge of the deck, looking at the sea. The sea breeze blew up his black cloak, and his eyes became more determined. "One day, I will strike a sword that even he can't block!"

"Hahahaha, Hawkeye, I'm looking forward to that day." Shanks said with a laugh, his laughter echoing in the sea breeze.

……

The country of peace.

In front of a huge castle.

The void suddenly split open, as if torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands. Two figures slowly walked out of it, and their appearance seemed to break the tranquility of this land.

"Where is this?" As soon as she landed, Nico Robin looked around the huge castle in front of her. The castle was towering into the clouds and magnificent, with mysterious and ancient patterns carved on the walls. Then she looked at Jiang Han with confusion, her eyes full of doubts and uneasiness.

"Kaido's base, there is also a historical inscription here." Jiang Han spoke calmly, his voice without any fluctuation, as if this was just a very ordinary thing.

"Kai... Kaido! One of the Four Emperors, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air!" Nico Robin was stunned when she heard the name from Jiang Han's mouth. All kinds of horrible legends about this name flashed through her mind. After recalling those frightening information, her mouth suddenly opened wide, and the two plump breasts on her chest trembled with surprise, as if they were a little numb.

Just after defeating Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, the next moment he came to the territory of another Four Emperor, Kaido! In the sea, the Four Emperors are the overlords. No matter how powerful the pirates are, they are trembling in front of the Four Emperors, and they are afraid to avoid them. In the eyes of the man in front of him, these powerful sea overlords seem to be no different from ordinary little pirates.

"Master Hanzhai, the newspaper has arrived. There is news about that man again..." Just then, a creature with a human body and a leopard head ran over from a distance, dragging a newspaper. His footsteps sounded particularly loud in the open field.

However, when this creature arrived in front of the castle and saw Jiang Han's appearance clearly, his body trembled violently, and the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, full of fear and shock, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"You... it's you!" Facing Jiang Han's gaze, the creature was so frightened that he trembled all over and instinctively retreated in the direction he came from. His legs were weak and he could hardly support his body.

"It's nothing, just leave." Jiang Han looked at the creature calmly. There was no threat in his eyes, but it made the creature feel an irresistible pressure.

After hearing Jiang Han's words, the creature turned around and ran, exerting its speed to the extreme. His figure turned into a blurry shadow in the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Three hundred meters away, in a hidden bush, two reporters from Xiao Erlang Newspaper were lying on the ground, covered with camouflage branches and leaves. At the same time, they aimed their cameras at the castle, their eyes fixed on every move in front of them.

As soon as Jiang Han and Nico Robin left Cake Island, they received instructions from the other party to come to Wano Country, and they were the two reporters who were arranged to wait in the territory of Kaido, the King of Beasts.

"This is big news! If we can get some exclusive photos, we'll publish it!" a reporter said excitedly. His voice was low, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Be quiet, or you'll get discovered!" warned another reporter, not daring to take his eyes off the camera for a moment.

At this moment, the atmosphere in front of the castle became extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come...

In that distant pirate world, the situation is ever-changing and the waves are turbulent.

"What's the big news?" Just as the newspaper delivery creature left, a tall man with mammoth tusks slowly walked out of the castle. His steps were heavy, and every step seemed to make the earth tremble slightly. On his rough face, his eyes were sharp and curious.

"Why are you here!" At this moment, a cry of surprise broke the brief silence.

Drought Jack saw Jiang Han at a glance, and was stunned at first, then shuddered suddenly. His eyes were instantly filled with fear and surprise, as if he had seen the most incredible scene. After glancing at the newspaper on the ground not far away, he turned around and ran back to the castle without hesitation.

"You are quite self-aware." Looking at Drought Jack's panicked back, Jiang Han smiled knowingly, with a slight upward arc at the corner of his mouth. In that smile, there was both confidence and a hint of contempt that was barely noticeable.

"Did that guy come to me on his own initiative? Is he too lonely because he is invincible? A fellow traveler!" After a while, a rough and loud roar came from the castle. The sound seemed to break through the sky, carrying endless domineering and heroic spirit.

As heavy footsteps sounded, the ground shook slightly, as if thousands of troops were galloping. Then several figures walked out of the castle. The person in the front was a tall man with black hair, a pair of horns, a beard like a dragon's beard, and a dragon scale tattoo on his left arm. He was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. His body was tall and mighty, like an insurmountable mountain. Every step brought a strong sense of oppression, and the air around him seemed to become heavy because of his appearance.

Behind Kaido, there were three figures standing side by side. In addition to Drought Disaster Jack, there were two other disasters, Flame Disaster Jin and Plague Disaster Quinn. Flame Disaster Jin had black flame patterns all over his body, like a messenger from hell, and his eyes were cold and ruthless. Plague Disaster Quinn was bloated, but exuded a weird aura that made people shudder.

Behind the Three Calamities was a group of strange creatures, with different shapes, some with sharp claws, some with huge wings, obviously all members of the Beasts Pirates. They were either whispering to each other or looking at Jiang Han with vigilant eyes, and the whole scene was filled with a tense atmosphere.

At this moment, whether it was the Four Emperors Kaido or the Three Disasters, or a group of younger brothers, they were all looking at Jiang Han seriously. Their eyes were full of confusion and surprise, as if they could not imagine that this thin guy could actually intimidate the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy.

"Come on, fight, release! I can feel your loneliness!" Kaido took a step forward, and his heavy footsteps made the ground tremble. He shouted loudly, and then waved to his brothers behind him: "All of you retreat!" His voice was like thunder, deafening.

Drought Jack came up to Kaido and said anxiously: "Lord Kaido, this man should not be underestimated. He can intimidate the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy. He must be extraordinary."

Kaido glared at Drought Jack and snorted, "Humph, Jack, when did you become such a coward?"

"I'm not here to relieve your loneliness, I'm just here to ask you for a historical inscription." Jiang Han looked at Kaido jokingly, his eyes full of calmness and composure, as if the Four Emperors in front of him were just an ordinary opponent. In his eyes, the strongest creature on land, sea and air in the One Piece plane was just a stronger grasshopper.

"Historical inscription?" Kaido was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you can defeat me, the inscription will be yours." His laughter was full of arrogance, as if he didn't take Jiang Han seriously at all.

At this point, Kaido's face suddenly darkened, and a wolf-tooth iron rod appeared in his hand. The iron rod flashed with a cold light, as if it could smash everything.

"Thunder Bagua!" A deep shout sounded, and Kaido jumped up, swinging the iron rod at Jiang Han at an extremely fast speed. His movements were as fast as thunder, and wherever he passed, the void hummed, and there was a faint sound of thunder, which was breathtaking. This blow seemed to contain endless power, enough to destroy everything.

Sensing the energy contained in the iron rod, Jiang Han smiled calmly. Just this rod easily killed Gear 4 Luffy in seconds. However, for him, this did not seem to pose a threat.

"Come on, let me see if you are as powerful as described in the newspaper!" Kaido's expression was ferocious, his eyes were filled with bloodthirstiness, and his words were full of fighting spirit. His eyes were red, as if he had entered a state of madness.

However, just as the iron rod in his hand was about to hit the opponent, the opponent's figure inexplicably disappeared from his sight and from his observation Haki.

"What a fast speed!" Kaido's eyes flashed with surprise. He opened his eyes wide and tried to find Jiang Han's trace.

A breeze blew by, and a figure appeared above Kaido's head. It was Jiang Han who disappeared a moment ago. His appearance came without any sign, as if he was a god of war descending from the sky.

Looking at the fist falling from the sky above his head, Kaido did not show any panic on his face, and even took the initiative to fight back, because he was confident enough in his physical strength. In his opinion, his body was the most powerful weapon, and no one could break it.

Bang!
A low muffled sound exploded like thunder.

The collision between Jiang Han's fist and Kaido's head immediately caused a ripple, and tiny lightning bolts stretched far away like dense spider webs with space cracks. The powerful impact made the surrounding air seem to be ignited instantly.

The confrontation between the two lasted only half a second, and Kaido's huge body fell from the air like a cannonball as if hit by thunder, directly creating a huge deep pit on the ground. A gully about two meters wide extended directly to the front of the castle.

"It feels so good, so good! Come again!" Kaido climbed out of the deep pit. At this moment, his head was half sunken, and his skull was like a watermelon bursting, with blood flowing. His voice was still full of indomitable spirit and desire to fight.

"This... this is impossible! In a contest of pure strength, Lord Kaido actually lost!" Jack the Drought widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Lord Kaido is famous in the New World for his strong body and immortal physique. No matter if he is chopped by knives or axes, struck by lightning or burned by fire, or soaked in poison or wine, he remains unscathed. Even his internal organs are invulnerable to knives and guns. Yet he bleeds after one of his punches!" There was shock in Flame Disaster Jin's voice.

"That guy didn't even use his devil fruit ability!" Plague Queen couldn't help but exclaim.

"He looks like he's only in his twenties, how could he have such strength!" The younger brothers of the Beasts Pirates discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with fear and awe.

Jiang Han stood there quietly, like an inviolable statue. His eyes were still calm, as if everything that happened just now was just a trivial episode. And Kaido stood up again, his wounds were healing at an astonishing speed, and his eyes were burning with a stronger fighting spirit.

“Come again!” Kaido once again wielded the wolf-fang iron rod and rushed towards Jiang Han. The battle broke out again...

The three calamities who retreated to the sides of the castle and their followers first looked at Kaido, who was in a miserable state, and then looked at Jiang Han in the air, their eyes full of disbelief. Their eyes moved back and forth between Kaido and Jiang Han, and a storm was set off in their hearts.

"I have been tortured thousands of times and sentenced to death 40 times by the World Government, but even if I am hanged, I can break the chains, even if I am sent to the guillotine, I can smash the guillotine, and even if I am stabbed by a spear, the spear will break. In other words, no one can kill him, including myself!" Kaido's voice echoed in this space, with endless arrogance and unruliness. Every word seemed to be telling his legendary and invincible experience, which made people shudder.

"But today, you made me taste the taste of bleeding. Good, very good!" As he spoke, Kaido suddenly laughed, as if crazy. His laughter was deafening, like thunder exploding in his ears. In that laughter, there was both anger and excitement of encountering a strong enemy. His broken body still exuded unparalleled domineering aura, and blood flowed from the wound, but it did not weaken his momentum at all. (End of this chapter)
