Wano Country.

A giant over seven meters tall sat sideways on a rugged iron throne. His body was as strong as a mountain, and even without moving, he emitted a terrifying pressure.

When he was angry, his face was as ferocious as a Shura. Together with the two sharp horns on his head, he looked as terrifying as the King of Hell.

At this moment, Kaido was furious because Doflamingo had been defeated by Caelan.

Naturally, his relationship with Doflamingo was never good. If it weren't for a transactional relationship, he would not have even spared the clown a glance.

However, the artificial Devil Fruit trade between them could not afford to fail.

In other words, Kaido's own army of Zoan-type ability users could not afford to lose.

"Damn Doflamingo. He was defeated so easily, and my artificial Devil Fruits haven't even been delivered yet!"

Kaido's expression was gloomy as two streams of hot air puffed from his nose, sparks hidden in the mist.

He was really so angry he could breathe fire.

He had recently paid Doflamingo for some goods, but the fruits had not been delivered, and now Doflamingo was gone.

All the Berries he had earned from plundering and mining were gone.

It was truly infuriating.

Doflamingo was defeated by Caelan, and it seemed that the technology for artificial Devil Fruits had fallen into Caelan's hands.

Maybe if he went to Caelan, he could still continue the deal.

But this time, he did not want anyone else controlling the production of artificial Devil Fruits. He wanted to do it himself.

"God Slayer Caelan, the new emperor of the sea? Let me teach you a lesson!"

Kaido smiled grimly as several black flame clouds rose and fell around him.

Even though the legend of Caelan was so miraculous, the Four Emperors were extremely confident and arrogant overlords.

Such a hegemon would never be frightened by Caelan's reputation.

In fact, Kaido was secretly excited. Combative by nature, he was eager to fight Caelan.

At this moment, the three All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, King the Wildfire, Queen the Plague, and Jack the Drought, walked into the hall at the same time.

"King!"

"Is the army ready?!"

Kaido suddenly looked at King.

"Everything is ready, Kaido-sama."

"The Gifters is already in place, and all officers are ready to go."

King faced Kaido and answered respectfully.

No matter how majestic they appeared outside, all members of the Beasts Pirates had to remain respectful before Kaido.

Kaido's authority was forged one blow at a time.

"Very good. Let's go to Dressrosa immediately and seize the artificial Devil Fruit technology!"

Kaido stood up from the iron throne, his joints crackling.

He could not wait to fight Caelan to take back the artificial Devil Fruit technology.

"Kaido-sama, isn't it a bit reckless to make such an enemy so rashly?"

King asked carefully.

"What? Are you afraid that I can't beat him?"

Kaido glared at him and spoke rudely.

"Kaido-sama, you are the strongest creature in the world, so of course you can beat Caelan."

King first flattered Kaido, and then added,

"However, Caelan has been in the spotlight recently, and the Neo Navy he has formed is very powerful."

"If we act rashly, I fear it will be a miserable victory, and the Gifters will definitely suffer heavy losses. We may not even be able to get the technology to create artificial Devil Fruits."

King believed they could win, but at a huge cost.

Even the artificial Devil Fruit technology could end up being destroyed by Caelan.

"King, what discouraging words are you saying! We are the Beasts Pirates. Defeating a mere Caelan is a piece of cake!"

Jack shouted in dissatisfaction.

They had so many experts and Kaido was personally leading. How could they not win?

King looked at Jack, this reckless fool, with a hint of disdain.

Lacking Kaido's strength yet with his temper, he was just courting death.

A battle between two Emperors is not that simple.

You are all talk now, but when the aftermath comes, you will learn your lesson.

"What are you looking at? Are you looking down on me? Do you want to fight?"

Seeing King's contemptuous look, Jack felt like ants were crawling all over him.

He had been eyeing King's position for a long time, the number one man under Boss Kaido.

"Can you even beat a brainless fool?"

King snorted coldly and retorted unceremoniously.

He often beat Jack, and Jack had never won once.

But Jack was like a mad dog. He would attack anyone.

"Try again!"

Jack's face turned red as he wanted to challenge again.

Even if he kept losing, he would never admit defeat. He simply would not admit it.

"Enough, stop arguing. What King said makes sense."

Kaido grabbed his kanabo and spoke, stopping the quarrel.

"Yes, Kaido-sama!"

Jack looked at the big kanabo in Kaido's hand and stopped immediately.

He dared to argue with King, but not with Kaido. The pain of Thunder Bagua was enough to keep him in line.

"King, what do you think we should do?"

Kaido looked at King, hoping that his military advisor could give him some advice.

What King said made a lot of sense.

If they attacked Caelan, they would indeed suffer heavy losses, and they might not even get the artificial Devil Fruit technology.

Therefore, King needed to come up with a solution.

"Why don't we ask first to see if we can buy back the artificial Devil Fruit technology from Caelan?"

"If it doesn't work out, then we can fight however we want."

King thought for a moment and said.

"Impossible. How could anyone sell something as valuable as artificial Devil Fruit technology!"

Kaido shook his head without hesitation.

He might be reckless, but he wasn't stupid.

Artificial Devil Fruit technology was like a goose that lays golden eggs, and no normal person would sell it.

"Kaido-sama, a new newspaper has arrived!"

"Caelan is auctioning off artificial Devil Fruit technology in Dressrosa!"

At that moment, a soldier came running over and handed him a newspaper.

"Huh!? He really wants to sell it!"

Kaido snatched the newspaper, his eyes widening.

He never would have imagined that Caelan would actually sell such a precious thing.

Could it be that Caelan had gone mad?

"Kaido-sama, this is great news!"

Although King was surprised, he quickly reacted. "When someone buys it, we can just rob it."

"That's right, King!"

Kaido nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of him, he spoke right to his heart.

He wanted the goods but did not want to pay. What should he do?

Just rob them!

"However, Wano still needs someone to guard it. The three of you stay here. I will go and grab it myself!"

Kaido knew there were still some small pests jumping around in Wano.

Naturally, they would reveal themselves if the entire Beasts Pirates left.

Normally, he would bring all his troops for a decisive battle with Caelan.

But he could just snatch things alone.

After all, as far as he knew, the other Emperors would not be very interested in artificial Devil Fruits.

At least, they would not go in person.

"Don't worry, Kaido-sama! With us here, nothing will go wrong in Wano!"

King, Queen, and Jack all nodded confidently.

With them around, the remnants of the Kozuki family would not be able to cause any trouble.

Seeing this, Kaido said no more and immediately set off for Dressrosa.
