Chapter 406: A Perfect Foothold
The Mozartelt Kingdom is right next door, so the Beast Pirates don't need to travel far to other places.
Rescuing the Kingdom's Citizens would provide a foundation for their rule.
If those fifty-plus Zoan Devil Fruit Users could be subdued, the Beast Pirates' Ability User Army would be ten percent complete.
Moreover, this is a terrifying strength.
An annual income of 50 billion Beli—if that's not resources, what is?
Even halved, it's still 25 billion Beli.
For Kaido, this is undoubtedly a huge sum.
And Garrosg wasn't wrong; Hamza's ability is too much of a threat, especially his suppression of Zoan Ability Users.
This made Kaido feel a deep sense of apprehension.
Originally, there was no conflict of interests between the two sides, and Kaido didn't care about these things.
But now, with Garrosg's description, Kaido undoubtedly already regarded the Mozartelt Kingdom as his future Territory.
In Kaido's eyes, those fifty-plus Zoan Devil Fruit Users were simply peerless treasures.
This being the case, Hamza became somewhat of an eyesore, or rather, he was blocking the Beast Pirates' path.
However, why did Garrosg know so much about the Mozartelt Kingdom?
Facing the questions from the Governor and the other Crewmates, Garrosg sighed and revealed his identity.
He came from the Mozartelt Kingdom, was the Son of "Beast Taming" Hamza, and thus the Prince of the Mozartelt Kingdom.
Unable to accept Hamza's brutal rule, he fled the Mozartelt Kingdom at the age of sixteen.
After wandering in the New World for a few years, he met Kaido and Herbid, who had just established the Beast Pirates, and became one of the initial members to join the Beast Pirates.
Of course, the main reason was that Hamza had killed Garrosg's mother.
Therefore, regarding killing his brutal father and overthrowing his violent rule over the Kingdom, Garrosg had no psychological burden; on the contrary, this was what he hoped to see.
"So, how should we do it?"
Kaido stroked his chin.
This way, they gained another advantage.
With Garrosg being the legitimate heir of the Mozartelt Kingdom, as long as Hamza is dealt with, the Beast Pirates' stationing in the Mozartelt Kingdom becomes impeccable.
"It's very difficult.
If it were just dealing with Hamza alone, the Governor's strength would be completely sufficient."
Garrosg had a deep understanding of the Mozartelt Kingdom, especially his brutal father.
Hamza could be considered a Strongman, and he was a Monster in the New World.
However, as a king who commanded the abilities of others, he didn't personally act very often.
In the New World, he was far from being in the first tier.
With Kaido's strength, suppression is absolutely achievable.
"But that guy Hamza has control over too many people—Zoan Ability Users, the Beast Army.
If he's pushed too hard, the entire Kingdom's Residents will become weapons blocking our path."
This is a very troublesome matter.
If there is too much killing, it will clearly affect the Beast Pirates' rule over the Kingdom.
"What we need to do is defeat Hamza in the shortest time.
We can't let the time drag on too long.
Before things develop to the point of being difficult to control, let everything settle."
"Then let's use Seastone.
While the Governor is in a great battle with that guy Hamza, we'll seize the opportunity to make a move on him.
As long as we seal his ability, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Queen, after listening to Garrosg, adjusted his sunglasses and confirmed the specific method for this battle.
Although Kaido didn't hope to achieve victory in this manner, he didn't reject such means.
The Beast Pirates' goal is to conquer a Kingdom, to obtain a Base Camp.
Defeating Hamza is just a relatively important step.
Moreover, a guy like Hamza is far from being an opponent he recognizes.
In his eyes, he's just a weakling with decent strength.
As long as the goal can be achieved, using some methods is completely worthwhile.
"Then it's decided.
I'll rest for three days, and then we'll occupy the Mozartelt Kingdom."
Kaido stood up, holding his spiked club.
His massive physique reached eight meters, like a giant.
He had thick black hair, was bare-chested, and had the curved long horns symbolizing the Oni Tribe.
His left arm and left chest bore a red Dragon Scale Tattoo.
His strong muscles emitted an aura even more fierce than a wild beast.
Looking closely, he was completely like a demon god.
The only drawback was that Kaido's body was wrapped in bandages.
These were left behind from his previous challenge against the Roger Pirates.
Those guys didn't follow martial ethics at all.
Facing Kaido, they went straight for a group fight, giving Kaido no room to fight back.
Just like that, Kaido was beaten up and was finally beaten unconscious, then thrown into The Sea.
Kaido was only pulled out of The Sea by the Beast Pirates' members today.
Just searching for him took a full two weeks.
In the Deep Sea, even his powerful recovery power was suppressed.
And to recover to peak, he would need at least three days.
"At that time, only the four of us need to act.
The other members will first infiltrate the Mostert Kingdom and land on the Island after everything is over."
The Mostert Kingdom's military strength is powerful; it's not something his regular members can deal with.
Dozens of Ability Users and the Beast Army are all difficult to deal with.
He didn't want to suffer excessive losses during this process.
"The four of us are enough."
Garrosg nodded.
In a Strongman's war, weaklings intervening are just easy targets.
Besides Kaido, whether it was Garrosg, Herbid, or Queen, they were all powerful Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit Users.
They were completely unafraid of Hamza and his Beast Army.
After dealing with Hamza, the Beast Pirates will usher in a stage of rapid development.
"Then I don't need to participate."
King said calmly.
He was very clear about his current situation and was temporarily unable to intervene in the Beast Pirates' matters.
"Grow up as quickly as possible, King.
I need your strength."
Kaido said in a deep voice.
Even he, currently, is still inconspicuous in the New World's cruel competition.
Although he has already exhibited significant potential, if he hasn't grown up, he simply hasn't grown up.
If they don't develop quickly, this Territory of theirs could all become others' target.
There aren't many footholds left now.
