Chapter 407: Kaido's Attack
Three days later.
Kaido glanced at the sea chart.
As an Internship Cadre of the Rocks Pirates, it was only natural that he could read a sea chart.
His body quickly began to change.
Blue dragon scales covered him, and his entire frame was transforming towards its full beast form.
Accompanied by the dark clouds in the sky and the constantly flashing lightning.
Before long.
A divine dragon hundreds of meters long coiled in the sky, emitting an endless pressure from its body.
Ordinary creatures were so scared they lost control of their bowels and lay prostrate on the ground.
Garrosg transformed into a pterodactyl and flew into the sky, following beside Kaido.
Queen and Herbid jumped onto Kaido's body.
"Let's go."
Kaido's speed was very fast, his massive frame piercing through the thick cloud layer.
Violent lightning was brewing within the clouds.
The moment Kaido's figure came into contact with the clouds, terrifying lightning power erupted, forming a lightning net that seemed to envelop the sky.
However, it was unable to cause any damage to Kaido's powerful body.
In the Mozartelt Kingdom, within the magnificent Royal Palace, King Hamza felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, yet he didn't know where this feeling came from.
After all, he had never offended any other factions.
He had only taken action against those Zoan Devil Fruit Users, but these Zoan Devil Fruit Users had no backing.
Otherwise, he would have been willing to send them back.
He wasn't particularly covetous of just one Ability User; if he wanted to, he could always find other targets.
In the Royal Capital of the Mozartelt Kingdom, the sky suddenly changed, and the sky darkened!
With a "whoosh," a gale began to blow in the air.
Dark clouds started to gather continuously.
Looking up at the sky, terrifying lightning flashed, constantly streaking through the clouds.
The dark clouds in the darkness lit up continuously as if a switch was being flipped.
All the residents of the entire Royal Capital looked up at the sky, or walked on the streets, their hearts filled with curiosity, but mostly with fear of the unknown, unsure of what was happening.
Such weather was extremely strange; some residents who had lived in the Royal Capital for many years were seeing it for the first time.
Around their necks, they all wore a green collar, which was the shackles their King had placed upon them.
They had to constantly labor, like slaves, to satisfy the demands of King Hamza.
Beside them were various kinds of animals.
These were their pets.
In the past, the Mozartelt Kingdom held the esteemed titles of "Beast Taming Kingdom" and "Pet Kingdom".
The kingdom possessed inherited beast taming techniques, and every resident would raise some pets.
Even some fierce wild beasts had the potential to be subdued in their hands.
Some outstanding Beast Tamers were even honored guests of the Celestial Dragons, specifically helping the Celestial Dragons tame wild beasts.
However, everything changed after Hamza became King.
The pets beside them also wore collars, and they dared not resist Hamza's rule at all.
If they angered the King, the first to attack them would be the pets with whom they had shared years of affection.
Even if they didn't want to do so in their hearts, due to the ability's effect, their body's actions would be forcibly controlled.
Furthermore, besides the Kingdom's Guard Squad and the Beast Army, there was also the Devil Fruit User Unit.
In this situation, any resistance was futile, because they could not control their own bodies.
Even though everyone rejected King Hamza from the bottom of their hearts, there was nothing they could do.
"Ah!"
Screams echoed throughout the Royal Capital.
Suddenly, a hideous head emerged from the thick cloud layer.
This caused countless people's hearts to tremble and gave them a great fright.
This was just the beginning.
Soon, a massive body emerged from the clouds, the complete form of the divine dragon appearing before everyone's eyes.
An Azure Dragon thus coiled above the Royal Capital, accompanied by countless flashes of lightning, looking down upon the Royal Capital below.
A terrifying aura enveloped the entire Royal Capital, and almost everyone fell into a state of fear.
Their hearts were incomparably shaken, and they swallowed hard.
That legendary figure, accompanied by pressure, was etched into the hearts of countless people.
"Mon-Monster!"
"Th-This is too exaggerated!"
"It looks somewhat familiar, maybe it's a certain Great Pirate."
Kaido's figure appeared, and before he even made any moves, the entire Royal Capital was already in chaos.
They had completely fallen into panic.
And even more agitated than them were the pets beside them, each one becoming fearful and restless, their bodies trembling.
This was a natural suppression originating from a higher life level.
It made them involuntarily want to surrender.
As Kaido's aura continuously grew stronger, under such presence, the entire Royal Capital gradually fell into a strange calm, both people and animals.
And Kaido's target landed directly on the Royal Palace in the center of the Royal Capital.
From his vantage point, he immediately noticed the Mozartelt Kingdom King, "Beast Master" Hamza, walking out of the Palace.
This was the man with the strongest aura within the entire Royal Capital!
In addition, deep within the dense jungle behind the Royal Palace, there were numerous fierce wild beasts.
That was the Beast Paradise Hamza had established, every single one a fiercely powerful wild beast, controlled and subdued by Hamza using his ability.
He only needed to regularly prepare food for them.
No wild beast could resist.
Even now, Kaido could see wild beasts struggling within, being beaten by several wild beasts whose collars were flashing green, indicating they were controlled.
And that wild beast was unable to even resist.
This was Hamza's Beast Army, numbering several thousand wild beasts.
Although Kaido's pressure would have some impact on these wild beasts, the impact was not significant.
Because the Pet-Pet Fruit ability had a higher priority.
Some wild beasts had even been completely tamed through long periods of enslavement, rather than just being controlled by Hamza.
This made Kaido even more wary of Hamza's ability and strengthened his desire to kill Hamza.
Just to support these several thousand wild beasts, the Mozartelt Kingdom spent an unknown amount of funds each year.
According to Garrosg's understanding, the Mozartelt Kingdom had a Military of one hundred sixty thousand stationed around the Kingdom.
Kaido also noticed the more than fifty Ability Users, who were protecting Hamza in various areas outside the Palace.
However, some were gathered together playing cards, each with their own posture, seemingly not taking the mission of protecting Hamza seriously at all.
They would definitely not sincerely submit to Hamza.
But Hamza didn't need them to sincerely submit; they just needed to stay within the designated range he set.
Once he issued a command, all resistance would be futile.
On the outer perimeter of the Royal Palace, there were also several thousand fully armed Guards wearing black armor, each emitting a considerable aura.
They were elite warriors cultivated by Hamza, spending their days training and in battle, with ample food.
Especially their Leader, who possessed combatant strength no weaker than a Marine Vice Admiral.
Without exception, they all wore pet collars around their necks.
This made Kaido somewhat relieved that he hadn't brought all his Crewmates.
Otherwise, the casualties would definitely have been heavy.
His Pirate Crew, which he had worked so hard to develop, would be at least half-crippled.
And Hamza, possessing such powerful strength with just one ability, even made Kaido feel a bit jealous.
The Mozartelt Kingdom truly lived up to its name as his treasure land.
Not only did he want the Devil Fruit User Unit, but he also wanted these several thousand Black Armored Guards.
