Chapter 21 Kaido's ideals, the sake of the three sworn brothers who shone like the sun!
"The Beasts Pirates, set sail!!"
Bazel had wanted to shout "Set sail" for a long time.
From the day I was born, I've always wanted to shout, but fate is unpredictable.
He didn't become a pirate; instead, he became a Marine.
But fate took a dramatic turn, and he became a pirate while serving as a Marine.
As for how this journey of life will end...
Barzel was not worried.
After all, Dragon, who shouted "Down with the Celestial Dragons!" and "Down with the World Government!" in the original work, has lived for over a thousand episodes, so there's no reason for his departure at sea to be the end.
"It's really satisfying to shout it out."
Bazel stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze blowing in his face like a woman's slender, fair hands.
Lifting a strand of hair leaves a pleasant, tingling sensation.
"You're really funny, Bazel, to be happy about something like this."
Kaido slowly walked over and sat down with his back against the railing.
"But that's how pirates should be, hehehehe~~~!!"
"Pirates are the freest creatures on this sea!"
"However, Bazel, I still have to thank you for what you did just now."
Those things?
Seeing Bazel's bewildered look, Kaido grinned and pointed at his new subordinates who were sparring wildly.
"If it weren't for you, I would have conquered them with force and instilled in them a deep-seated fear of my power."
"Now that I think about it, if I had done that, wouldn't I have been no different from that bastard Golden Lion?!"
"I absolutely refuse to become a pirate like that!!"
Others might not understand the deeper meaning behind his words, but Bazeir did.
Even through their chests, Bazel clearly understood the source of Kaido's anger—a deep-seated irritation.
And what was the reason for the voluntary change?
"Kaido-san~"
"The pirates don't have the final say on everything on the high seas, the Navy doesn't have the final say, and neither does the World Government. You see?"
Bazel pointed to the sky, which had been clear and sunny just a second ago, but was now filled with thunder and lightning the next second.
Dark clouds gathered, and countless lightning bolts slithered behind them.
In an instant, torrential rain poured down on the world below.
"It's raining, Mr. Bazel, you..."
Bazel waved to Tianyue, who was calling out from not far away.
"Ah Shi, this is a man's romance, you wouldn't understand."
A single sentence prevented Amezuki from getting close, and Bazel and Kaido remained in the rain.
One person gazes at the sea, the other gazes at the sky.
The only characteristic of these two at this moment is that they are "bottomless".
"If it's going to rain, you can't stop it, and you don't know how."
Kaido reached out and silently caught the rain for half a minute.
"I'm not going to change this sky. I was born in the Kingdom of Woka in the New World, and at the age of 10 I became the invincible warrior in people's eyes."
"I am invincible, and no one can stop me wherever I go..."
A wisp of white mist drifted away in the rain, and Kaido's eyes were filled with memories of the past.
"I thought I could eat and drink my fill just by relying on my military achievements. I never expected that the damned old king would sell me to the navy because he was afraid of my power and wanted to participate in the World Conference."
"I had a very hard time back then. I didn't have Pele, and I had no food to eat."
"When they were starving, they had no choice but to surrender themselves, have a big meal at the navy canteen, and then hurriedly escape."
"Until I was fifteen years old..."
Kaido clenched his fist tightly.
"I was invited to join the Rocks Pirates and became stronger with Linlin's help, but she told me that Rocks and the others on the ship were not trustworthy."
"If I had any grievances, I could go to her... That's ridiculous."
"They're clearly partners in the same boat, yet they can't even trust a partner they've spent so much time with."
Kaido clenched his fist and looked at Bazel's profile.
"I don't want to create that kind of pirate crew. Partners should trust each other, and in battle, you should be able to confidently entrust your back to one another!"
Rumble--
The frequency of thunder and lightning in the sky grew increasingly intense.
"You and Jhin are both brothers I can entrust my back to, Bazel!"
"I am Kaido, Kaido of the Beasts! I will never become a pirate like Big Mom or Shiki!"
"If I become a pirate like that, then there's absolutely no fun in going to sea!!!"
It was Charlotte Linlin who was behind it all.
Bazel sensed something was wrong the moment Kaido uttered those words of thanks.
If there's one character on this ocean who could easily stir Kaido's emotions, aside from the pirate queen who has always taken care of him, Bazel can't think of a second.
At fifteen, he joined the Rocks Pirates, a corrupt and exploitative crew, where he suffered endless bullying as an apprentice.
At this moment, a tall, beautiful woman stepped forward and said that she was under his protection, and anyone who dared to lay a hand on him should not blame her for being ruthless.
Bazell asked himself honestly, if it were him, he probably would have been tempted to click the buzzer too.
Moreover, 15 years old is the age when puberty hormones begin to sprout.
He won't comment on Charlotte Linlin, who will weigh several hundred pounds in the future, but this 24-year-old woman is absolutely gorgeous!
He turned his head and met Kaido's gaze.
Bazel saw a resolute and determined look in his eyes.
Before he traveled through time, he never understood where the conflict between Big Mom and Kaido came from.
After all, judging from the backstory, the two had a very good relationship during the time of Rocks.
They were even so kind that the older woman could give away a Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit.
It can be said that this is the treasure that completely changed Kaido's fate!
After the Rocks era ended, their relationship deteriorated rapidly.
One man establishes a family-based pirate crew that promotes equality among all races in Wano Country, while the other manages to build Wano Country into an impregnable fortress, awaiting the arrival of their destined day.
It wasn't until the appearance of Straw Hat Luffy that the rift between the two was broken.
But in this life, as someone who experienced it firsthand, Bazel finally understood some of the reasons behind it.
Differences in philosophies.
Also an awakened user of Conqueror's Haki.
The older woman's management style is that she is second only to the head of the household, and what she says is the truth.
Kaido, however, is different.
This can be seen from the fact that he goes out and wanders around aimlessly when he has nothing to do.
Not to mention that Yamato's birth has always been a mystery.
During the long period that Kaido was away, King was in control of Wano Country and the Beasts Pirates.
In addition, when Luffy lost his battle against Kaido in the original work, Kaido announced Luffy's defeat to the whole island through the Emperor, and said that he would spare the life of anyone who surrendered or obeyed and take them as his "subordinate".
This magnanimity alone is enough to show that Kaido's desire for control is not as strong as Big Mom's, and he is much more patient with true partners and real talents than other great pirates.
He proved with his actions that the Beasts Pirates were a completely independent entity, the embodiment of his Conqueror's Haki.
It is definitely not a continuation of the Rocks Pirates.
"Brother..."
Bazel sighed softly, trying to expel the complex emotions in his heart.
Pirates and naval personnel are different; the former are free-spirited adventurers who are straightforward in both their actions and interactions.
The latter is more like a scholarly gentleman; even if he considers you a brother, he wouldn't express it so directly.
They prefer to express this indirectly through other means.
"That's right, we're brothers!"
King walked into the rain and sat to Kaido's right front, holding three fist-sized wine cups in his hands.
tons~ton~ton~
Ripples of sake danced in the glass, reflecting the slowly clearing sky.
Bazeir sat cross-legged.
The three people who were sitting down at this moment formed a triangle and silently picked up the wine glasses on the deck.
The other person's face was reflected in his pupils.
"Mr. Kaido is right, Bazel, the three of us are brothers whose bond transcends blood!"
Jin raised his wine cup.
"We will definitely change this terrible world; I always believe in the bond between us!"
Bazel stopped thinking about it and grinned:
"That's right! The three of us will definitely blast away the gloom blocking the sky! Just like the sun!"
The three wine cups clinked lightly, and after exchanging glances, the three men tilted their heads back and poured the wine, which reflected the sunlight, into their stomachs.
"The Beasts Pirates, set sail!!"
Kaido stood up and unleashed his full power of Conqueror's Haki, blasting away the last dark cloud blocking the sunlight.
"My little ones!!"
"Set sail, let's go to the amusement park! This is the last hurrah before the curtain rises on a great era!"
"Let's turn this world upside down together with Lao Tzu!!"
"oh!!"
Many pirates raised their weapons and shouted, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
"The Beasts Pirates, set sail!!"
