Sea Circle Calendar, Year 1522.
The situation on the seas was changing rapidly. The Navy, having greatly increased its strength through the World Military Draft, had firmly established its footing in the New World.
The emerging Yonko, Blackbeard, occupied Hachinosu, hunting down Devil Fruit users on a massive scale, expanding his power rapidly.
The great pirates who had escaped from Impel Down two years ago were gradually making names for themselves, wreaking havoc in their respective regions.
On the Red Line, the World Government was intensely preparing for the Levely, held every four years.
Yonko Big Mom and the North Blue's Germa had intentions of forming a marriage alliance and were discussing the details of the exchange of interests.
...
New World, Wano Country Capital, General Orochi's Palace.
Smash~
A sake bowl was thrown onto the ground, shards flying everywhere, the remaining liquid staining various parts of the room.
Shogun Kurozumi Orochi grabbed another bowl and guzzled the sake down into his stomach.
He didn't care in the slightest about the clear sake spilling from the corners of his mouth and soaking his clothes.
His eyes were tightly closed, his face hideous, as several terrifying thoughts and figures flashed through his mind.
Bastard!
What are those useless subordinates doing? Why haven't they found the corpses of the rest of the Akazaya Nine after twenty years?!
Only Kawamatsu the Kappa, who is imprisoned in Udon Prison, and Ashura Doji, who became a thief in Kuri under the alias "Shutenmaru", are exposed in his field of vision.
Where are the rest?!
He didn't know where that old man Kozuki Sukiyaki had fled to either.
Oden's two descendants were also missing!
Bastard subordinates!
At least bring me evidence that they are dead!
With a bang, he slammed the sake bowl onto the table. His body felt a chill, and his eyes revealed fear.
He retracted his hand, trembling, and hugged himself tightly. His eyes stared blankly ahead as if lost in memories. He said to Kaido beside him, "Hey, Kaido, that woman's prophecy won't come true, right!?"
The woman he spoke of was Kozuki Toki, the wife Oden brought back from overseas, who gave birth to a son and a daughter with Oden.
After the "complete" destruction of the Kozuki family, that woman left a prophecy before her death: twenty years later, the people of Wano Country would see the dawn.
Originally, he didn't believe these prophecies.
But the disappearance of the Akazaya Nine and the Kozuki clansmen forced him to feel afraid.
Now, it was the twentieth year.
Kozuki Toki's death anniversary was just a few days away.
The time in the prophecy was approaching.
Fortunately, he had Kaido to rely on. He knew this strongest man, known even overseas as the Strongest Creature, a monster.
Beside Orochi, Kaido sat there.
He was bowing his head, staring at the sake pot, seemingly drunk.
Looking closely at his appearance:
His face was fierce like a demon god, winding giant horns on his head pointed straight at the sky, thick messy black hair draped behind him, his shirtless upper body was knotted with powerful muscles, and a pitch-black Kanabo rested against the wall beside him. A vast sense of surging power radiated from his entire body, giving off an unstoppable aura.
No one knew that at this moment, Kaido's consciousness and soul had been replaced.
Countless memory fragments flashed back and reorganized in Kaido's mind.
His hazy consciousness gradually recovered.
He was originally reading the One Piece manga on Earth.
He was complaining on a forum about how terrible the Wano Country arc was.
First, there was the dim-witted Oden, and later, the collective cheating of the protagonists.
The Kozuki family were all trash, and Kin'emon had an unkillable body.
The portrayal of Kaido throughout the arc was good enough, but he couldn't stand Kaido's daughter being mentally polluted by Oden.
The entire great battle constantly weakened the Beasts Pirates and buffed the protagonist group; the plot armor was off the charts.
It made him involuntarily side with Teacher Kaido.
Until he saw a post on the forum asking:
"If you became the Kaido of that time, what would you do?"
Need you ask?!
He immediately slammed the table, grabbed the keyboard, and his fingers flew.
Of course, kill the Kozuki first, then execute Luffy, taking the massive military force and powerful combat power...
After writing thousands of words eloquently,
He clicked on the comments section to appreciate the feedback from the handsome readers.
But because his immersion while writing was too intense, he got too excited, his brain spasmed, and he croaked.
"Then... I really became Kaido..."
Kaido was completely awake now, his mind filled with many memories belonging to Kaido himself.
This year is 1522, almost two years since the Summit War.
Calculating the days,
It has been over a month since Kikunojo, one of the original Akazaya Nine, traveled forward in time and met Luffy.
It has probably been a month or two since Luffy set sail again towards Wano Country.
Which means the time for the two forces to appear in this world is not far apart.
A few days later is Kozuki Toki's death anniversary, the day Kin'emon and the other four travel to the future.
So...
Luffy will also likely set sail in the next week or two!
There isn't much time left!
He absolutely cannot sit and wait for death, waiting for Luffy to fight his way all the way to Wano Country and right in front of him.
The Child of Destiny, the Child of Luck, the person determined by fate.
He possesses the most robust background forces on the sea.
He understood better than anyone how terrifying Luffy's luck, plot armor, and even talent were.
He absolutely cannot give him time to grow; he must strangle him while he is still weak.
It is best to wait for the protagonist group to fully assemble before making a move.
Must cut the weeds! And dig up the roots!
At this moment,
Ding
"Detected Host's goal is clear."
"System is loading."
"Loading complete."
"Target List (Viewable)."
Hmm?
System?
Transmigrators really do have benefits.
Kaido's heart throbbed, and he silently recited:
"View List."
An image floated before his eyes.
[Kaido's Target List]
1: Completely Master Wano Country
Difficulty: One Star
Target: Become the Shogun of Wano Country, and reduce the proportion of rebels to below 5% (Current rebel proportion: 31%).
Reward: Strength Module Pack.
2: Defy the Heavens!
Difficulty: Three Stars
Target: Kill the Straw Hat Crew.
Reward: Strength Module Pack (Large).
3: King of the World
Difficulty: Five Stars
Target: Defeat the World Government, reforge the world order.
Reward: Item Module Pack (God).
4...
5, 6...
Reading line by line, the content of the targets had an inexplicably familiar feeling.
Isn't this the plan I wrote on the forum for Kaido?
Closing the list, Kaido carefully studied this system.
A moment later, he understood the gist of it.
The system edited tasks following his plan; its purpose was to help him become stronger and complete the plan more quickly.
The distributed rewards were separately divided into three modules: Strength, Support, and Items.
They corresponded to improving Kaido's own combat power, auxiliary abilities, and infinitely variable items.
The numbers in the brackets undoubtedly represented the grade of the reward; the higher the difficulty, the richer the reward.
Having understood this, Kaido exited the system.
A voice beside his ear grew louder and louder.
"Kaido?"
"Kaido!"
Kaido was annoyed by the noise, frowned, turned his head towards the sound, and saw a stupid, ugly face.
"Not answering me?"
