Chapter 264 Weakness

In the vast expanse of air, Kaido's huge body was tumbling without any resistance under the merciless swing of the terrifying giant claws. His originally majestic and powerful aura began to weaken like a candle in the wind.

Looking back at the beginning, Kaido was full of courage and his arrogant demeanor seemed as if no one in the world could conquer him. However, at this moment, under round after round of heavy blows, his once high head gradually drooped, and his proud spine began to bend. From the initial unyielding attitude, he began to compromise.

At this moment, a breeze blew quietly. The scattered newspapers on the ground floated slowly in the air under the gentle caress of the wind. When Kaido's eyes inadvertently swept across the newspaper and saw the eye-catching headline and those shocking large pictures, his angry roar suddenly stopped.

Then, something unexpected happened. Kaido's tone changed 360 degrees. His originally majestic voice became flattering and eager. He kept saying, "Isn't it just a mount? Of course, of course! A historical inscription, right? Put me down and I'll get it for you right away!"

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. The giant metal claw that had been tightly gripping Kaido finally loosened its grip under his desperate pleading.

Kaido fell to the ground like a heavy boulder. The moment he landed, his body twitched violently, as if he was venting the pain he had suffered along the way. After a long time, he turned back into a human form. But at this time, he had completely lost his former majesty. His body was covered in blood, and his wounds were crisscrossed, looking extremely miserable.

"Go get it, don't keep me waiting." Jiang Han looked at Kaido calmly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile and said: "If you had known better earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

As the joking words fell, the terrifying giant metal claws and metal wall disappeared like phantoms, as if they had never appeared.

Kaido looked at Jiang Han fearfully but unwillingly, his eyes were full of complicated emotions. There was fear of Jiang Han's powerful strength, and there was also reluctance to his current humiliating situation. But in the end, he gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the gloomy castle.

"Lord Kaido, are you really going to give him the historical inscription?" Jack the Drought, who was following closely behind Kaido, couldn't help but ask first, his voice full of confusion and unwillingness.

"Even if we can't win, we can always run away with the historical inscription." Plague Quinn also said, his face also full of reluctance.

"That's right, at worst we can just stay at sea." Yan Zai Jin also agreed, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

……

Inside the castle, the Three Calamities and a group of younger brothers followed Kaido closely, expressing their opinions in a flurry of voices.

"Take a look at the latest newspaper for yourself." Kaido snorted coldly, his face as gloomy as water. He threw the newspaper in the face of Drought Jack, and the force of his anger seemed to vent all his resentment in this action.

"Big... Big Mom was killed!" Seeing the content in the newspaper, the faces of Sanzai and his younger brothers changed instantly, and deep fear appeared in their eyes. They never thought that the equally powerful Big Mom would be killed like this.

"Not only must I give him the historical inscription, I must also let him ride me as a mount, otherwise I will end up like Linlin!" Kaido said with a strong sense of unwillingness, and even a tremor in his voice. He knew that facing such a powerful enemy, he had no choice.

"Lord Kaido, haven't you been looking for death before?" Jack the Drought might have been too shocked, or perhaps his mind was unable to wrap around it for a moment, and he couldn't help but ask at this time.

Bang!
However, just as Jack the Drought's words came out of his mouth, Kaido's angry fist smashed down like thunder, and the powerful force smashed half of Jack's body into the ground.

"In the past, I kept looking for death because I knew I couldn't die! Now that there is someone who can really kill me, should I still look for death?" Kaido widened his eyes and glared at Jack the Drought fiercely. The vicious look seemed as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Three minutes later.

"Sir, this is the historical inscription you requested." Kaido stood in front of Jiang Han with a humiliated look on his face, holding an ancient stone tablet respectfully in his hands. At this moment, his heart was filled with helplessness and pain, but he did not dare to resist at all.

Jiang Han nodded calmly and said, "Don't look like you've lost your parents. I'll just let you be my mount for a day. When I leave the Ultimate Island, you'll be free again and still be the overlord of this sea."

Hearing this, Kaido's originally dim eyes immediately showed joy. He never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.

"We have obtained two historical inscriptions. Where should we go next?" Sitting on the back of the dragon transformed by Kaido, Nico Robin swallowed and asked nervously.

"Go find Shanks and get the third piece." Jiang Han looked determined and spoke word by word, his tone full of determination and confidence.

As Kaido spread his wings and flew high, they rushed towards an unknown direction. Along the way, the wind whistled in their ears and the clouds passed by them quickly.

Kaido felt mixed emotions. As he flew, he recalled his past glory. He used to be a feared existence on this sea, but now he has become someone else's mount. But he also understood that in the face of absolute power, he could only choose to surrender temporarily.

Jiang Han sat on Kaido's back, looking forward with deep eyes, thinking about the difficulties and challenges he might encounter next. He knew that Shanks was not an easy character to deal with.

As they gradually approached Shanks's territory, the waves on the sea became more turbulent and the dark clouds in the sky became darker. A fierce conflict seemed to be about to begin...

Nico Robin tightly grasped Kaido's scales, her heart full of worry. She didn't know how this adventure would end, but she knew that this was the only way for them to reach the ultimate island.

At this time, Shanks had also received the message. He stood at the bow, looking into the distance, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

Kaido, under Jiang Han's command, slowly landed in Shanks' territory. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next development...

"Don't look at them, come back to your senses, they have already flown far away! Have the photos been sent to the newspaper?" In a bush not far from the castle, a tall reporter frowned and slapped another reporter next to him anxiously. The slap was so strong that it gave the reporter a startle.

"It was passed on immediately! I think the newspaper office has already produced the newspaper." The reporter who was beaten woke up as if from a dream. He shook his head vigorously to wake himself up from the shocking scene just now, and quickly replied. His voice was still trembling, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and there was still a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

At this time, the grass was filled with a tense atmosphere. The breeze blew gently, stirring the surrounding branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.

The tall reporter was named Jack. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "This news is really earth-shattering. If we can report it exclusively, we will become famous."

Another reporter named Tom, he wiped the sweat off his face and responded, "Yeah, who would have thought that Kaido, the King of Beasts, would end up like this." Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

In the Marshal's office, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Sengoku, Garp, Kizaru, and Aokiji sat opposite each other.

"Let's contact this Xiaojilang newspaper company, give them enough treatment, and make sure they serve our navy." Zhan Guo's expression was serious, and he spread the latest newspaper flat on the table. His eyes were fixed on the eye-catching headline on the front page of the newspaper [Kaido the Beast is defeated and becomes a mount!], and his brows were furrowed.

Below the title is a photo of Jiang Han swinging Kaido against a metal wall. In the photo, Kaido's expression is distorted with pain, while Jiang Han's face is indifferent, full of a strong sense of oppression. And the last photo of Kaido walking away, Jiang Han is upright, while Kaido looks extremely embarrassed. In addition, there are several smaller photos that record the entire process of this incredible battle from various angles.

"Even Kaido's physical fitness can't withstand his beating? In the end, he was tamed and turned into a mount. This guy is really interesting." While eating donuts in big mouthfuls, Garp pointed at several consecutive photos with surprise on his face.

"But what kind of fruit is this ability of his? Why does his fruit ability give me the feeling that it is several levels higher than what you developed?" Garp said vaguely with his mouth full.

Huang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled: "This is really a mystery, but the appearance of this person makes the situation in this sea more complicated."

Aokiji crossed his arms and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it is a powerful fruit ability that has never been seen before."

World Government, headquarters.

The Five Elders rushed to the mysterious hall as soon as they received the newspaper. They were dressed in gorgeous robes, kneeling respectfully in front of the steps, with their heads bowed deeply, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"This speed is much faster than I imagined!" Im's supremely majestic voice floated in the hall, as if it came from the distant sky, full of oppression.

"Lord Im, you have been to the Ultimate Island before Roger. What is on the island? Also, what do you think of his strength?" The leader of the Five Elders asked cautiously, with awe and curiosity in his voice.

"Let all the navy pay attention to the movements in every corner of the ocean, and inform me immediately if there is any sudden unusual phenomenon. As for the Ultimate Island, if he can really find all four historical inscriptions, you will all have the opportunity to go to the island." Yim's voice was low and mysterious.

"Yes, Lord Yimu!" ​​The five elders responded at the same time, their voices uniform and loud. Then, they looked at each other, with a little surprise and a hint of expectation in their eyes.

New world.

Cake Island immersed in sadness.

"Brother Katakuri, Kaido also suffered, but he is luckier than mom, he just became that man's mount." Smoothie looked worried and handed the latest newspaper to Katakuri. Her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety about the future.

"In the end, this historical inscription is the beginning of bloodshed. Even in the hands of the Four Emperors, it cannot escape such a fate." Katakuri shook his head, looked into the distance and sighed. His eyes were deep and heavy, as if he could penetrate the layers of fog and see the storm that this sea was about to face.

At this time, the sky over Cake Island was gloomy, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped every corner.

The Grand Line.

In the vast ocean, the Moby Dick.

"Luffy, come and read the latest newspaper!" Ace shouted excitedly and threw the newspaper to Luffy. His face was full of excitement and surprise.

"Kaido? Is he very strong?" Luffy looked at Ace in confusion, his clear eyes full of curiosity.

"He's known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air! He can rival my dad in single combat! What do you think?" Ace rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Even if you train for another two years, it'll be nothing more than a fight with an iron rod if you meet him."

"Now that I hear that, it would be really awesome to have one of the Four Emperors as a mount! I also want to catch a dragon." Luffy's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an excited smile.

"First it was Charlotte Linlin, then Kaido, and the next moment it will be Shanks." On the deck of the second floor, Whitebeard laughed, "If I also had such an inscription, I would probably be the next one." His laughter was hearty and heroic, echoing in the sea breeze.

"Big Mom was killed, Kaido became a mount, will Shanks also..." Marco frowned and said worriedly.

"They won't fight, after all, there is a bond between them, the Straw Hat Boy." Before Marco could finish his words, Whitebeard shook his head and pointed at Luffy not far away. His eyes were full of trust and expectation for Luffy.

At the same time, on another pirate ship, the Redfors.

On the deck, two figures sat opposite each other, gazing at the sea.

He's here. Hawkeye Mihawk pointed to the distance and suddenly spoke. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his voice was deep and powerful.

A dark shadow in the sky came closer and closer, rapidly enlarging. The wind was howling and the waves were surging.

Soon, the sky above the Redfors was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

"Shanks, you guys really gave me a hard time looking for you!" A majestic and powerful voice echoed over the sea, and a huge dragon was lying across the deck. The dragon was majestic and exuded a terrifying aura.

"Kaido the Beast! Why is he here!" The crew on the ship exclaimed, their faces full of fear and confusion. (End of this chapter)
