"Woof... Woof!" The large dog growled deeply.
"I actually turned into a dog? I'm Kaido of the Beasts, how is this possible?" How could Kaido of the Beasts accept such a reality? But the reality was that he had become a dog, waiting to be slaughtered, a dog locked in a cage. He roared, he struggled. How could the dignified Emperor become a dog?
His sharp claws and fangs gnawed at the iron bars. Steel, once pliable in Kaido of the Beasts' hands, shaping into any form he desired, now presented an insurmountable chasm, even though it was only finger-thick. His countless furious roars ultimately devolved into mere barks. "I'm an Emperor, I'm Kaido of the Beasts, how can I become a dog... Woof woof woof!"
A terrifying aura soared into the sky, causing the island-like ship to shake violently. His soul had entered the dog's body, and his former power was completely separated from Kaido of the Beasts. The strength he now possessed was merely that of this dog, but aura was an embodiment of spirit, and Conqueror's Haki was an even higher manifestation of spirit.
"Not good." Law's expression subtly changed. He hardened his fist with Armament Haki and then vanished in an instant. "I, Kaido of the Beasts, am immortal, immortal... Woof woof!" A single punch shattered his brain, yet left no obvious external wounds.
"Kaido boy?" Whitebeard suddenly sat up in bed. All his commanders instantly rushed out of their rooms, as many pirates had fainted. The commanders sprang into action.
"Still here?" The door opened, and Whitebeard looked at the still-bound Kaido of the Beasts in surprise. "Strange, that aura just now didn't come from here. What's going on?"
"Pops, Kaido of the Beasts isn't awake; he's still unconscious!" Marco stepped forward, carefully assessing the situation before speaking with a puzzled expression. "That aura just now was indeed Kaido of the Beasts."
Thump thump thump! Commander Jozu and several other commanders also arrived.
"Pops, the aura appeared in the kitchen, but there was nothing unusual there. It just seemed like a faint presence of another powerful individual lingered in the kitchen."
In the kitchen! After a thorough search by the commanders, nothing unusual was found. The death of a dog naturally wouldn't draw much attention. And so, without a sound, Kaido of the Beasts died? An Emperor, just like that?
Whitebeard frowned in thought; too many unanswered questions remained. Why did Kaido of the Beasts' aura appear in the kitchen while he himself remained bound and unconscious? And who was the mysterious powerful presence?
"Has anyone been to the kitchen before this?" "No." All the commanders shook their heads. "Perhaps someone was sneaking food? That's normal." Pirates weren't weak; they had high energy consumption, and it was common for pirates to raid the kitchen for food in the middle of the night.
"Have the sons search." Whitebeard was not a rash or unintelligent man. Since there were questions, a thorough search was necessary. Hundreds of pirates began patrolling every corner of the ship.
"Careless." Law, hiding in the shadows, scratched his head, a little troubled. If he concealed his presence, Observation Haki would be hard to detect, but any use of an ability would surely leak some of his aura.
So Law waited until late at night to act, specifically to wait until all the powerful individuals were asleep. After all, Observation Haki wasn't an ability used automatically; it required active deployment. On one's own ship, powerful individuals rarely kept their Observation Haki constantly scanning their surroundings. The pirates searched all night, leaving no room or corner on the ship untouched. Without the ability to transfer objects as if teleporting, it would have been impossible to evade detection.
After searching all night, the pirates confirmed there was no one else on the ship. "Pops, a few of our comrades admitted to looking for food in the kitchen today. There shouldn't be any outsiders on the ship." "Was I overthinking it?" Whitebeard furrowed his brow slightly. It seemed he had been mistaken.
"Finally, I've avoided it." Law finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, with so many pirates, the commotion was immense, and the auras were chaotic, masking the slight leak of aura from using his object transfer ability. Otherwise, it would have been truly troublesome. "Hoo-hoo." He exhaled a long breath, his agitated heart finally calming down. "I can't be careless again." Learning from his mistake, Law knew that possessing the ability to transfer objects as if teleporting had made him less vigilant, which was not a good sign.
"This is the Whitebeard Pirates. If I were discovered, even if I could transfer objects to any corner of the ship, this is still a ship. Its area cannot compare to an island, so it would be dangerous." Law concealed all his presence, not leaking a single trace, reducing even his heartbeat and breathing to a minimum.
......
"Pops, how do we deal with Kaido of the Beasts? We've tried every method; we simply can't kill him." "Are we just going to keep him locked up?" The commanders looked at Kaido of the Beasts with frustration and helplessness. His immortal ability was simply the most unreasonable power.
Whitebeard was also somewhat troubled. He had finally defeated Kaido of the Beasts, and now his own injuries hadn't even recovered. Having paid such a heavy price, were they just going to let Kaido of the Beasts go?
"These methods probably won't hold Kaido of the Beasts for long, right? Once he fully recovers, it'll be hard to even protect this ship, won't it?" "So we let him go? That's too easy for him, isn't it?" Not just the commanders were depressed; Whitebeard himself was frustrated.
"No wonder Kaido boy was so emboldened to challenge me alone; so this was his trump card." Even as the victor, being unable to deal with the loser certainly made one want to spit blood.
"We can't let Kaido boy recover, otherwise, he'll surely destroy my ship. But letting him go is too lenient." Whitebeard said, "Bind him with the thickest Seastone chains and throw him into the sea."
"Yes!"
"Throw him into the sea?" Law's eyes turned purple. He dared not use Observation Haki to sense, for while Observation Haki was used, using it was equivalent to actively revealing his presence, and others could naturally use their Observation Haki to detect Law. His透视 (X-ray vision/clairvoyance) ability was safer and more convenient.
"I hope the sea is your grave." Jozu carried the tightly bound Kaido of the Beasts and threw him with force, sending him plummeting into the ocean.
