Whale Forest, an inner forbidden area.
The Beasts Pirates have now obtained the text information from three Road Poneglyphs, but Kaido still ordered King to retrieve the stone tablet to prevent the text from continuing to leak out.
As for the stone tablet in Big Mom's possession, since the rubbing has been obtained, there is no need to retrieve it for the time being. After all, Kaido still values the alliance between the two crews.
Now, they only have one stone tablet left to find the location of the final island.
At this time, King looked up and suddenly saw the Kozuki family emblem on the wall.
"As expected, the Mink Tribe has a long history with the Kozuki Clan. I'm afraid this stone tablet was entrusted to their care by the Kozuki ancestors!"
King snorted coldly and said, "It seems that this country is truly at fault. Everyone who has anything to do with the Kozuki will die as guilty!"
Then, he looked down at the huge stone monument and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Mr. Kaido, you are one step closer to becoming the Pirate King!"
"I will definitely help you achieve that position!"
——————
New World, Wano Country, Flower Capital, inside the Shogun's mansion.
Kaido of the Beasts, the Four Emperors pirate to whom King swore loyalty, was lying drunkenly and soundly asleep in the house at the moment, snoring like thunder, making the doors and windows rattle.
As the top leader of the Beasts Pirates and the most powerful person in Wano Country, Governor Kaido rarely interferes in any internal affairs of the pirate crew except for occasional meetings to issue orders to his subordinates. These specific implementation tasks are left to his subordinates.
Drinking has become his main and most important daily task.
Sobriety is Kaido's most painful and irritable state, and only drunkenness can relieve this mood.
Yes, this man with the world's most powerful fighting force is actually a patient with severe bipolar disorder, accompanied by high-risk symptoms such as moodiness and drunkenness.
When his mental state is extremely unstable, he may even engage in out-of-control behaviors such as suicide and self-mutilation, beating subordinates, crying, and laughing.
In addition to good wine, another way to relieve Kaido is to fight, especially in a close and fierce battle, but this situation is rare.
Therefore, Kaido would often turn into a dragon privately on a whim and come to challenge the top experts for a duel. If one of them was not enough, he would even single out a group of others. Needless to say, the result was predictable.
No matter how ferocious the tiger is, it can't stop a pack of wolves.
Even Kaido suffered several defeats.
When he challenged the powerful Marine Admirals and the other Four Emperors alone, he was defeated by all of them and arrested 18 times.
He was tortured thousands of times and was sentenced to death.
There were as many as 40 times, and on the way to the undersea prison, 9 prison ships were sunk because of it.
Kaido's reputation for immortality spread from this, and even he sometimes felt irritated about living and could not wish to die.
At this time, Kaido suddenly woke up from his sleep, subconsciously touched his wine gourd, took a sip of the spirit-reviving wine, and said irritably, "It would be great if I could just sleep to death like this!"
"Oh haha, I can't find my opponent in reality, so I can only have a good time in my dream!"
After sitting alone in the room for a while, Kaido suddenly shouted, "Loyalist!"
"Kaido-sama!" Not long after, a kimono girl wearing a paper mask floated in.
She is the real one of the Beasts Pirates and Kaido's personal secretary, responsible for Kaido's daily schedule. She is also an artificial Devil Fruit and a flying squirrel form user.
The hungover Kaido had a severe headache at the moment. He covered his head and said, "Go and call King over here!"
The emperor was startled, and then said in a measured tone, "Master Kaido, Master King went to Big Mom to do something according to your order, and he hasn't come back yet!"
"What about Queen?" Kaido had a headache and didn't want to open his eyes.
The royalist continued, "Have you forgotten? Mr. Queen was sent to the Udon Quarry by you to supervise the work! Do you need me to call him back?"
She then whispered, "Sir Queen has often contacted me by phone during this period, asking me if Mr. Kaido has mentioned him and if he has any intention of bringing him back!"
"Ah?" Kaido paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let that embarrassing thing stay in Udon! Just let him help me keep an eye on those brats, don't let them cause any trouble again."
He then said, "Go and call Jack over!"
The emperor was silent for a few seconds this time, and then said, "Sir Kaido, you are drunk again! You have sent the Tobiroppo, including Mr. Jack, on an expedition.
They are now trying their best to help you snatch the treasure.
There is a high probability that no one will come back before the founding ceremony!"
After hearing this, Kaido took a deep breath of alcohol and said with a depressed expression, "These bastards, all ran out! It's outrageous to leave me alone in this boring city!"
The royalist naturally comforted him, "Because the cadres are away for business, the internal defense of the Beasts Pirates is now empty, so Kaido-sama, you have to stay in person to take charge, especially now that our energy has not recovered, you can't run around like before!"
"I don't want that!" Kaido started crying like a child and started drinking heavily.
After drinking until he was heartbroken, Kaido cried bitterly and said, "Loyalist, do you know? In fact, I have always felt that I have nothing, including the last time I fought with those brats. I have always been fighting alone!"
"The Tobiroppo were defeated! King and the others were also defeated! Even Linlin, that monster old woman, was defeated by those little brats! In the end, no one is reliable! In the end, it has to rely on me to solve the problem! I was really sad and disappointed at the time, feeling that all these decades of hard work were in vain!"
The royalist looked at Kaido who was out of control now, but she looked like she was used to it. It was obvious that she was used to it, but seeing her boss so excited, she couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart and was speechless for a moment.
Kaido's big tears suddenly stopped. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is that boy Yamato doing now? Is he willing to admit his mistake to me?"
The royalist replied respectfully, "Master Yamato is still in prison and refuses to speak! He hasn't even eaten much recently!"
Kaido cried loudly after hearing this, "I am such a failed father for giving birth to such an idiot son! Why do even my own flesh and blood treat me like this? What good thing do those stupid samurai have to deserve this? Help them!"
"Bao Huang, why do you think my life is so lonely? Why is this?"
The royalist was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "This is all because you are too powerful!"
