Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 36 Go ahead and call in people.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido, contrary to his usual behavior, did not immediately launch an attack.

Instead, he threw the spiked club aside, shrunk his height to about 2 meters, and then bent down to pick up a knight's longsword.

“Using a spiked club would damage the corpse too much, making it difficult for outsiders to identify. It would be better to use a sword.”

"Besides, the legacy left behind by that bastard Rocks is all swordsmanship. If I want to learn it, I'll have to change my weapon."

"And then there's that rubber brat from the future, whose resistance to blunt force attacks is almost 100%. It's really annoying that I don't learn some swordsmanship to chop him down."

"Furthermore, the potential for development in swordsmanship does seem to be higher than that of other weapons."

"After all, I've only ever heard of the world's greatest swordsman, never the world's greatest club master..."

Kaido tried to convince himself to abandon his spiked club and switch to swordsmanship.

After all, the advantages of using a sword are so obvious.

Although the spiked club is more effective in lower-ranked matches, one hit can kill silently.

However, once a person reaches the level of a general, most people consider having their bones shattered as a minor injury and can still maintain their full combat strength to continue fighting.

In some rare cases, not even a sliver of blood was lost.

In contrast, the high burst damage of swordsmanship can directly lead to amputation.

Losing an arm or a leg is far more serious than a total fracture in high-level battles.

but……

Kaido was also a little worried that by doing this, he might appear to be afraid of the rubber man.

It's as if he's not even as good as his original self from the original timeline, lacking even the courage to fight Luffy head-on with a spiked club.

While he was agonizing over this issue, the gentlemen and ladies in the banquet hall were far from idle.

Seeing that Kaido picked up the sword but didn't do anything, just muttering to himself, they all took the opportunity to escape out of the banquet hall.

However, just as one of the ladies stepped out of the banquet hall with her left foot, a flash of sword light streaked past.

Kaido appeared in front of the lady as if he had teleported.

He was still holding a knight's longsword wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki in his hand.

"The feeling of cutting something in two is really satisfying."

"Let's decide on this!"

"Dual cultivation of sword and staff!"

"Use a sword to attack other people, but use a stick to attack the rubber man!"

"That way it won't seem like I'm afraid of him!"

"Moreover, it seems that this way we can also use rubber figures to train our Haki strength?!"

"After all, the spiked club had almost no effect on him; beating him up relied entirely on sheer force of will..."

Kaido's thoughts and soliloquy continued behind him.

The lady who just stepped out of the banquet hall with her left foot had a line of blood on her neck.

Glug glug~

The beautiful woman's head rolled off, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

clack clack...

A layer of solid ice enveloped Kaido's body, shielding him from all the rain of blood.

Then, the ice shattered, and Kaido turned around, raising his finger upwards.

rumbling...

The wooden city walls rise slowly from the outer perimeter of the entire palace.

Its highest point is at least 100 meters high, completely surrounding the entire royal palace and castle.

Leaving aside whether flies can freely enter and exit, it's impossible for humans to leave without Kaido not discovering them.

Carrying his knight's sword, Kaido re-entered the banquet hall.

"Well, we still have plenty of time tonight, so let's enjoy it slowly!"

The night was peaceful, and the sky was full of stars.

The sudden encirclement of the royal palace by a wooden wall was such a significant event that it was impossible for it to go unnoticed, even at night.

However, because this phenomenon was so bizarre, no criminal was found.

Moreover, there didn't seem to be any screams coming from inside the palace.

The onlookers were puzzled but didn't know what to do.

Until the early morning of the following day.

At the moment the clock strikes 7 o'clock.

The wooden city walls began to slowly recede into the ground and disappear.

The original appearance of the royal palace and castle gradually began to emerge.

It all felt like a dream, as if nothing had happened.

However, as the wooden wall descended, it reached the height of the outermost city wall of the palace.

A young man with two horns like a horned dragon on his head, a tall and muscular build, and a strikingly beautiful appearance, appeared on the city wall.

The onlookers were stunned.

"Who are you?!"

Why are you standing there?!

"Did you build this wooden city wall?"

"How is it going inside the palace?!"

Since it was just Kaido alone, the people below didn't think anything would really happen to the palace.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he bombarded Kaido with question after question.

Kaido ignored them and continued to lower the wooden wall.

One centimeter, two centimeters... ten centimeters...

Gray hair began to appear, followed by a complete human head.

At that moment, the crowd in the square outside the palace fell silent.

However, the decline of the wooden fence continues.

One, two, three...

One by one, countless heads began to appear.

"Your Majesty the King..."

“No…Prince Norton…”

“Princess... Princess Samantha…”

"And marquises, earls, viscounts..."

"And there are princesses, marquises, countesses, viscountesses..."

"They're all...they're all dead..."

"They're all dead!!"

“There were even the heads of the royal guards…”

"So...so many..."

“Even the guards are all dead…”

So shocking that people seemed to forget to scream.

Finally, when the wooden wall completely disappeared, revealing the entire city wall covered with human heads, a female citizen finally let out the scream she was supposed to hear.

Kaido stood on the city wall, continuing to wait patiently.

After the women had vented their emotions, the crowd not only did not disperse, but instead became even denser.

He reached out and picked up the microphone from the back of the Den Den Mushi next to him.

"Listen up, everyone! What I'm about to say is the truth about everything that happened last night!"

With the help of the megaphone Den Den Mushi, Kaido's voice resounded throughout the entire plaza.

Upon hearing this, the panicked crowd quieted down and waited for Kaido to continue.

"My name is Kaido! I'm a pirate!"

His very first words immediately caused a stir among the crowd, but Kaido's shout of "Quiet!" silenced everyone.

"Last night, it was me who stormed into the palace alone and chopped off all the heads hanging below!!"

Upon hearing this, the breathing in the room instantly became heavy.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Kaido.

Among them were hateful eyes, shocked eyes, and of course, fearful eyes.

But Kaido's speech continued.

"The reason I'm doing this is because I've set my sights on your island, your kingdom. I want to take it over as my own territory! That's all!"

"Now! I declare!"

"The new master of Haworth Island!"

"It's me!"

"Kaido!!"

"Anyone who disagrees! Go and gather your troops wherever you like!"

"Whether it's the Navy, the World Government, or even just the surviving nobles on the island, it doesn't matter!"

"But all of you only have one month!"

"Submit! Resist! Or flee!"

"Within one month, you can choose any one of the three!"

"One month from now, those who do not submit, and those who do not submit and have not left the island, will have only one fate!"

That is—

"die!!"
