Chapter 35
"Did you see that idiot named [Chen Long] over there? To be honest, if I got serious, I could hack him to death."
Hearing this, Jhin's pupils shrank.
How is this possible? !
Among the twelve earthly branches, Chenlong, he thought that Chenlong was the strongest, but now the rat in front of him told him that he could kill Chenlong?
How could he believe this?
Being able to kill Chenlong doesn't mean that you can also kill Lord Kaido!
"Are all of your twelve earthly branches pure-blooded Lunaria? Do you all have the fighting power of Chenlong?" After a moment of silence, Jhin asked again.
Although the matter was very outrageous, he already believed it 70% to 80%.
Words can deceive, but combat effectiveness cannot, nor can the reality seen with one’s own eyes.
Each of these pure-blooded Lunarias have golden star eyes, and they look stronger than the last.
"That's not true. Shen Hou seems to be quite weak. I have never fought with him." Zi Shu said with a playful smile.
Shenhou...
Jhin quickly glanced at another Earthly Branch in the distance. Shenhou threatened Quinn with a sword, so that Quinn did not dare to act rashly.
Is this guy considered weak?
"You are so strong, why do you take orders from Edie?"
boom!
As soon as Jin finished speaking, Zi Shu burst into a look of dominance.
Cold sweat dripped down Jhin's face under the mask.
What a terrifying overlord color, even higher than Lord Kaido! !
However, this overbearing look went away just as quickly as it came, and then I heard Zishu ask in a cold voice:
"Then let me ask you, why do you take orders from Kaido?"
"Lord Kaido is kind to me!"
"It's okay to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."
Zishu's shoulders shook as if he was amused: "The weak obey the strong. This is a natural law engraved deep in the human soul!"
"You take orders from Kaido because Kaido is kind to you? It's a joke. This is only part of the reason. The biggest reason is, of course, because Kaido is stronger than you!"
So, is Edi more powerful than the so-called twelve earthly branches?
Jhin seemed to understand. He clenched the huge katana in his hand and took a deep breath.
"It seems we all have something we can't give in to. Zi Shu, if you want to kill Lord Kaido, just step on my body!"
As he spoke, he spread his wings and took the initiative to attack Zishu.
Zi Shu curled his lips and said, "I told you, I won't kill you, Heavenly Father won't allow it."
The two fought again.
The roof of General City.
Idi stood facing the wind, not paying attention to the battle between Jhin and Zishu, but just quietly watching Chenlong and Kaido.
The battle between the two went from the sky to the underground, from Huadu to the suburbs.
From dragon form to human form, and from human form to human-animal form.
Finally, from night to early morning.
When the first ray of sunlight rose in the Flower City, the two fighting men fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
Still no winner!
Seeing this, Edie turned her power ring again and transformed into a green dragon. In a blink of an eye, she came to the outskirts and looked down at the two people lying on the ground from a height.
"I'm sorry, Heavenly Father..."
Chenlong gasped quickly, and his mask was even torn. Seeing Edie's arrival, he immediately knelt down on one knee and apologized in shame.
On the other side, Kaido also stood up and gasped: "You can continue!"
Idi's huge dragon eyes glanced at Kaido, and then fell on Chenlong.
These two people are still physically capable of fighting. Maybe they can fight for a few days and finally decide the winner.
Considering that Chenlong has the blood factor of the Lunalia clan, he has a greater chance of winning in the end.
"Edie, you've been watching from the side, why don't you come and play with me!"
Suddenly, Kaido opened his mouth, and a burning breath suddenly hit the blue dragon in the sky.
"Oh……"
Idi's dragon claw reached out and directly blocked the breath of Kaido's form. Then he clenched his claw and extinguished the attack with a pop.
"Kaido, do you want to light birthday candles for me?" Edie couldn't help but mock.
He is now in the form of a green dragon, and this little flame is enough to tickle him.
"..."
Kaido's eyes darkened.
At this moment, a black shadow quickly approached.
The sword flashed.
puff!
A blood mark appeared on Kaido's chest, and hot blood spurted out.
"What...?!" Kaido's expression changed.
So fast!
The next moment, the tip of a samurai sword was pointed at his nose.
Zishu said lazily: "Father, Chenlong is not good at all. It's better to let me hack him to death. Hey, Kaido, quickly recover your strength, I'll wait for you!"
This guy is... Zishu!
Kaido remembered what Quinn told him last night.
At this time, he suddenly recalled that there were twelve people from the twelve earthly branches.
He couldn't even defeat a Chenlong in a short time, and even until the end of the fight, the outcome was uncertain.
Not to mention eleven more...
"Zi Shu! Don't meddle in other people's business!" Chen Long gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill him!"
"Didn't you kill him? I saw you fighting all night."
"Give me a little more time, I can definitely kill him!"
"No, it's my turn now! That half-blood Jhin can't help but beat him!"
The two had a dispute over Kaido's ownership.
Kaido touched the wound on his chest, and blood continued to flow down his chest.
His face was livid, and he felt like he was being hunted. The two hunters were discussing who would be responsible for the kill.
humiliation!
It's been a long time since I felt humiliated!
This reminded him of the past when he was on Rocks' pirate ship and was treated as a "little brother" and a "weakling".
"Hehe..."
At this time, a chuckle sounded, and Edie finally said: "Xiao Kai, I don't really want to kill you. After all, our cooperation has been very pleasant in the past two and a half years."
Xiao Kai?
Didn't you call me Mr. Kaido before?
Kaido pulled the corner of his mouth hard, "What do you want to say? Edie!".
Chapter 30 Collecting protection fees (sponsorship fees) from the Four Emperors
"Killing you will not do me any good."
Qinglong Edie sighed. If he killed Kaido, it would be great if he could explode hundreds of billions of Baileys like the boss that was pushed down in the game.
"How about this, 200 billion!"
Blue Dragon Idi raised his two claws, "You can't come up with so much money in one go. From now on, you will sponsor my research institute with 20 billion research funds in the name of the Beast Pirates every year for 10 years.".
Hearing this, Kaido narrowed his eyes, swept his eyes across Chen Long, then across Zishu, and finally looked up at the dragon in the sky.
Once, only others looked up at him in the sky like this, but today it's reversed.
"You won, I promise you!"
The rules between pirates are so simple, although Idi is not a pirate.
When two pirate groups clash, it is common sense for the winning side to take away all the supplies and money of the defeated side.
Even killing the loser or annexing the loser is a common practice.
But Idi's appetite is too big, and he opened his mouth and asked for 200 billion Baileys.
Kaido can't take out such a huge sum of money, and he still has thousands of subordinates to support.
Therefore, a ten-year installment of 20 billion per year is a reasonable way proposed by Edie after considering the income of the Beast Pirates.
"Okay, okay, I like straightforward men."
Seeing that Kaido was very honest, Edie smiled with satisfaction: "Since you are so straightforward, Xiaokai, we will still be partners in the future. The research on artificial devil fruits will be successful soon, and you will be indispensable at that time."
As for how much an artificial animal-type devil fruit will sell for at that time, it depends on how much it costs.
In this regard, Kaido was speechless.
What do you mean it will be successful soon? Was the three-headed blue dragon last night fake?
But now the status of both parties has reversed, and he is not stubborn enough to argue with Edie on this issue.
"This year's 20 billion research funds must be raised as soon as possible, Xiao Kai, don't let me down, let's go."
Edie moved her body and was about to leave, but she seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "By the way, Xiao Kai, I really think your way of educating your children is a bit too extreme."
After saying that, this time, Edie really flew away, and Qinglong disappeared in the suburbs of Huadu in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Chenlong immediately flapped his wings behind him and quickly followed the footsteps of the Father, without looking at Kaido again from beginning to end.
He didn't have any extra interest in Kaido, but the mission failed... He was a little worried about his position in the Father's mind.
"Ah..."
Zishu sighed and said to Kaido helplessly: "There's no fight again! Forget it. Kaido, you save money well, I suggest you rob the World Government's bank, just 20 billion."
"Your proposal is a bit too extreme..."
Robbery of the World Government's bank?
Kaido felt that these earthly branches were more like pirates, one crazier than the other, completely crazy.
The same thing happened to Chen Long. When he fought him, he fought with his life, as if he would kill him even if he died...
Kaido followed the Rat with his eyes, and watched with a heavy heart as the Rat spread his black wings and flew away.
Lunaria...
He felt that this [Rat] might be stronger than Chen Long. This was his sense of the strong.
"Lord Kaido...!"
At this time, Jin came from a distance, staggering, and he didn't even have the strength to fly, so he could only walk towards this place.
"Are you okay?"
"Jin, this world has become interesting!"
Kaido grinned, touched the wound on his chest, and spread out his palm, which was red.
