Jian's whole body trembled even more violently. He had already heard that the people of the Whitebeard Pirates weren't afraid of Kaido at all.
His biggest trump card was already gone. He only called out tremblingly, "Kaido-sama, Kaido-sama will definitely avenge me."
Whitebeard laughed loudly, "Kaido will seek revenge for you from me? Gurararara, okay, I'll give you a chance to go back and find Kaido, and see if Kaido will avenge you, gurararara..."
"What?"
Jian had originally thought that he was bound to die, but he hadn't expected Whitebeard to actually say that he would let him leave.
He immediately raised his head with an incredulous expression, looking at Whitebeard nervously and eagerly, afraid that Whitebeard would go back on his word.
"You really want to let me go?"
Whitebeard laughed arrogantly and said, "I always keep my word. If I said I'd let you go, then I'll naturally let you go."
Jian shouted loudly, "Thank you, Lord Whitebeard, thank you, Lord Whitebeard. I guarantee that I will never dare to be your enemy again in the future."
Whitebeard interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "I promised to let you go, but there are conditions."
Jian was first stunned, but then he quickly replied, "Lord Whitebeard, you say it. No matter what conditions you say, I will definitely complete them for you, I will definitely complete them."
Whitebeard snorted coldly and said, "A person like you isn't worthy of doing things for me." Jian immediately smiled awkwardly with an embarrassed face.
But Whitebeard didn't care what his expression was, and continued, There's only one thing you need to do.
Go back to the Beasts Pirates for me, and tell Kaido that I need an explanation.
"What? No, don't."
Jian shouted with a face full of fear, "Lord Whitebeard, no, I can't go back. If I go back, Kaido-sama will definitely kill me. I can't go back."
Marco chuckled and said, "Then do you think we'll let you live if you don't agree?"
Jian's body trembled, and he became even more afraid. He said tremblingly, You, you don't understand Kaido-sama.
He, he's a madman. If he knows everything, he will definitely kill me, he definitely will.
Marco said coldly, We don't care what kind of person Kaido is, and we don't care if he will kill you or not.
Dad said to let you go back and report, and you have to go back and report. If you can't do it, then there's no need for you to live.
Saying that, Marco raised his hand, preparing to kill Jian. Jian immediately shouted in horror, "No, don't, I promise, I promise to go back."
Marco smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Why did I have to threaten you?"
Jian lowered his head. He had already compromised. He knew that he didn't even have the ability to resist in front of Whitebeard and the others.
If he went back to the Beasts Pirates, he would still have a glimmer of hope to live, but in the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates, he didn't have the slightest chance of living.
So he could only gamble.
As for escaping, Jian had never thought about it, and didn't dare to think about it, because with the abilities of Whitebeard and Kaido, it was simply too easy to find him.
If he was caught at that time, the result would be even more miserable, so he wouldn't even think about it.
"Let him go." Whitebeard ordered.
"Bang!"
The people of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately threw Jian to the ground, causing him to let out a miserable scream in pain.
However, he still endured the severe pain and climbed up, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Whitebeard looked at him and said, "Get lost. Tell Kaido that if he wants to see me, I'll be waiting for him here."
Jian lowered his head, and said repeatedly, "I will definitely convey your words to Kaido-sama."
After Jian left, Marco asked Whitebeard curiously, "Dad, you're letting him go find Kaido. Are you preparing to start a war with the Beasts Pirates?"
Although Marco wasn't afraid of the Beasts Pirates either, if the Whitebeard Pirates were to stand against the Beasts Pirates because of Rakuyo's brother's matter, it didn't seem worth it no matter how you looked at it.
Whitebeard laughed loudly and said, Whether we start a war or not is another matter. I just want to see Kaido's attitude.
If he really wants to start a war with me, I won't be afraid of him either.
"That's right, Dad, who have our Whitebeard Pirates ever been afraid of? Kaido? Don't be ridiculous."
"If you ask me, we should just fight with Kaido. That guy is very arrogant now, and doesn't put us in his eyes at all."
...
The people of the Whitebeard Pirates were all shouting with excitement.
Everyone had also been feeling uncomfortable, now they could finally fight, and there was even a possibility of fighting with the Beasts Pirates, so everyone was very excited, not afraid of things getting big at all.
Akira Stone stood on the side without speaking. Actually, he didn't care either way.
Anyway, with the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, they wouldn't suffer a loss if they started a war with the Beasts Pirates, because he was very clear that the Beasts Pirates couldn't possibly start a war with all their might.
After all, everyone still had a common enemy, the Navy. If they started a war with all their might, the ones who would benefit would only be the Navy. Kaido was crazy, but he wasn't stupid.
Whitebeard said, "Alright, everyone, clean up here first. We'll stay here for this period of time."
The people of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately got busy. Whitebeard called Akira Stone to his side, and asked with a smile, "How was it?"
Akira Stone scratched his head and asked, "Dad, are you talking about that Evil Wolf? He was too weak."
Whitebeard's expression became serious, and he scolded, "Too weak, and you still got injured."
Akira Stone looked at the bloody marks on his shoulder, and said embarrassedly, "I just wanted to test his strength at the beginning."
Whitebeard looked at Akira Stone seriously, and said, "I know what you're thinking, but do you still remember what you said?
A lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit. But you were distracted during the battle.
If you had changed to an opponent who was much stronger than that guy, do you think you would still be able to stand here?"
Seeing Whitebeard's expression and his words, Akira Stone immediately lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "I know I was wrong, Dad. I was a bit too conceited."
Whitebeard said, "You're not conceited. I think you haven't fought for a long time, and you don't know how to fight anymore. Also, have you discovered what your biggest problem is?"
"My biggest problem?" Akira Stone looked at Whitebeard with a blank expression.
Whitebeard looked at Akira Stone's blank expression, shook his head, and said, Your biggest problem is that you rely too much on your sword.
Although you've also been training these past two years, the direction of your training has all been based on using the sword.
You tell me, if I don't let you use your weapon, can you still beat that guy just now?
Akira Stone only felt a shock in his mind, and his expression became a bit ugly. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said.
"Without a weapon, even if I can win, it will only be a pyrrhic victory, Dad, I understand what you mean."
Whitebeard's words were like a thunderclap to Akira Stone. He carefully recalled his changes in these past two years. He discovered that he had really changed his original intention.
Before experiencing the Loguetown incident, he was basically training with Vista, often asking Vista questions about swordsmanship, and doing more basic sword techniques training.
But after the Loguetown incident, he had obtained several powerful Zanpakutō forms, and had even made a great name for himself with these forms.
So he naturally paid more attention to the Zanpakutō in a subtle way, gradually abandoning his previous training, and instead training with the abilities of several Zanpakutō as the direction, just like Whitebeard had said.
Whitebeard's words reminded him, what would he be if he didn't have the Zanpakutō?
Although the Death God Blade was bound to him, what if there was an accident one day, and the Death God Blade wasn't in his hands?
What would he use to fight against the powerhouses of the pirate world?
Thinking of this, Akira Stone immediately broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he also understood Whitebeard's meaning.
Whitebeard didn't oppose him relying on the Zanpakutō, but this kind of reliance couldn't be completely like it was now, after all, weapons and Devil Fruit abilities were different.
After eating a Devil Fruit, the ability was your own, and it was impossible to lose it, but weapons could be lost.
