----------

The wind rose and clouds surged, thunder rumbled.

In an instant, dark, thick thunderclouds enveloped Hachinosu, and an enormous Azure Dragon appeared from within the thunderclouds. Its terrifying might made the pirates scream in terror.

"That's... Kaido!!!"

"Why would a Four Emperor come to Hachinosu!"

"Wah, this is my first time seeing a Four Emperor other than Whitebeard!"

The pirates looked up at Kaido, their breathing becoming difficult. Just observing him from afar gave them a sense of power that transcended everything in the world.

This was Kaido, the "Strongest Creature"!

His aura was completely different from Whitebeard's; it was a complete suppression on a biological level, making it impossible for them to even conceive of resistance.

They even felt that Kaido was more terrifying than Whitebeard. At least Whitebeard was flesh and blood, but as for the Azure Dragon in the sky, they couldn't even imagine how to fight him.

Kaido looked down at Whitebeard, and Whitebeard also gazed at Kaido. The two "Strongest" simultaneously burst into laughter.

"Worororo!!!"

"Gurarararara!!!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the sea tilted!

Just their laughter alone, the two Four Emperors caused a doomsday catastrophe.

"Crack!"

"Rumble!"

Watching the continuous lightning strikes and the tilting, shaking ground, the pirates, unable to even stand steady, prostrated themselves on the ground, screaming in terror.

"Whitebeard, stop quickly!"

"This island will be destroyed!"

If the two Four Emperors started fighting, Hachinosu would be completely finished. The destruction caused by Daichi's battle with Kizaru earlier couldn't even be compared to that of the Four Emperors.

When their laughter stopped, the catastrophe gradually subsided. The Azure Dragon turned and left, not saying a word from beginning to end.

But Whitebeard understood Kaido's intention.

"Don't bully my kids!"

Whitebeard withdrew his gaze and looked at Daichi, who had returned to his human form a dozen meters away, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.

Truly, the younger generation is formidable!

In less than ten years, this kid would surely be able to raise the Beast Pirates' banner!

Fortunately, he had also found his successor, and in the near future, he would surely be able to lead his sons to contend with him.

Before that kid grew up, his scarred body would have to continue shielding his sons from wind and rain for a few more years.

Whitebeard turned to face Kizaru, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

He had gone out with his sons to quell the conflict, but he hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this extent.

Nearly half of Hachinosu was in ruins!

The moment he heard the news, how could he sit still!

Kizaru lay stiffly on the ground, his right hand covering his face, blood seeping through his fingers. His internal condition was even worse.

Being directly hit by undefendable Gura Gura no Mi punches and Conqueror's Haki caused almost all of his internal organs and bones to crack, making it difficult for him to move for a short time.

He needed to lie down and recover for a bit.

"Cough!"

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs coughed out.

"Admiral Kizaru!"

Momonga and Dore exchanged glances, both seeing the resolve in the other's eyes, and resolutely stood in front of Whitebeard.

In this increasingly volatile Great Pirate Era, if an Admiral were to die on Hachinosu, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if it cost them their lives, they had to stop Whitebeard. As long as they could delay for a brief second, Admiral Kizaru's speed would surely allow him to escape.

"Admiral Kizaru, please leave quickly! Leave this to me and Doll!"

Kizaru propped himself up on the ground and sat up, sighing faintly as he clutched his throbbing forehead: "You all move aside. I am the Marines' strongest combatant; I won't be defeated so easily."

"Admiral Kizaru, please leave!"

Momonga and Doll remained unmoved. Bearing Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi punch head-on would have killed an ordinary Marine officer ten times over.

They had to cover Kizaru's retreat.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Whitebeard, holding his naginata, walked step by step towards Kizaru, slowly passing between Momonga and Doll. The two Vice Admirals broke out in cold sweat, their bodies stiff and unable to move. The long swords in their hands trembled slightly, letting out cries of fear.

Only when they faced Whitebeard directly did they realize how naive and ridiculous their thoughts had been just now.

They wanted to act, but their bodies wouldn't obey. It wasn't until Whitebeard passed that their bodies, dominated by fear, gradually regained sensation.

"Clang!"

The naginata slammed down in front of Kizaru, the strong gust of wind impacting Kizaru's body.

Whitebeard coldly looked down at Kizaru.

"Go back and tell Sengoku, if any Marines dare to step foot on Hachinosu again, I will personally come and destroy Marineford!"

Kizaru remained silent, leaving with the two Vice Admirals in a hurry. Normally, he might have said something like "How scary, Whitebeard," but not now.

He was just an office worker; why would he risk his life fighting a Four Emperor without orders? Besides, he wasn't worried about his own safety, but Momonga and Doll wouldn't be able to escape.

Not far away, Daichi raised an eyebrow.

He let him go?

Although the probability of killing Kizaru if the fight continued was limited, if the Pika Pika no Mi user was determined to escape, it would be almost impossible for Whitebeard to stop him due to his mobility.

But it still made him feel a little regretful.

If Kizaru were killed, the Marines would surely go to war with Whitebeard, and then the Whitebeard Pirates would suffer heavy losses.

At that time, hehehe~~

"He's indeed old!"

Daichi sneered inwardly.

It was the same problem: Whitebeard was old, and plagued by injuries and illness, he wouldn't live for many more years even without major actions, let alone bear the consequences of a full-scale war with the Marines.

He had too many attachments.

For pirates, attachments were the biggest weakness. Many pirates abandoned their wives and children precisely to reduce their weaknesses.

The old man should pay up!

Whitebeard looked over, his gaze cold.

"You're Daichi?"

"Ah, I am!"

Daichi's expression instantly changed, and he approached with a grin.

Whitebeard was silent for a moment.

This kid, he really is...

A sly brat!

Alas, why weren't his sons so smooth?

Whitebeard snorted, rebuking him without any politeness: "Brat, you've made a mess of my territory!"

"Oh, look at what you're saying, old man."

Daichi looked aggrieved, indignantly defending himself: "This junior fought to the death with an Admiral, all to protect Hachinosu and uphold your reputation, old man. This junior grew up listening to your legends and has admired you since childhood!"

"Hmph!"

Whitebeard snorted again.

Believe you, my foot!

You brat is full of mischief!

If it weren't for this kid's trickery, how could an Admiral have invaded Hachinosu, and how could Hachinosu have become such a mess?

Did he really think he was senile?

One incident might be a coincidence, but when linked together, it was definitely not a coincidence. This kid had planned all of this from the moment he appeared.

If he had killed Kizaru just now, he would have truly fallen into the trap, and a war with the Marines would only benefit the other Four Emperors.

However, he couldn't criticize too much.

At least on the surface, this kid indeed played it flawlessly, even his sons were completely fooled.

Also, he couldn't figure out Daichi's true motive. If it was to provoke a war between them and the Marines, it would be underestimating him too much.

Seeing Whitebeard remain silent, Daichi decided to stop while he was ahead, righteously declaring:

"Hachinosu has become like this, and I bear greatest responsibility. To express my apology, I have a proposal!"

"Speak!"

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly.

He wanted to see what kind of trick this kid was up to.

Daichi chuckled, pointing to the surrounding ruins: "I wish to undertake the reconstruction of Hachinosu. I hope you will agree!"

"Hmm?"

A question mark appeared on Whitebeard's forehead.

Rebuilding the island would cost a lot of money and require a lot of manpower and resources. He was currently having a headache over this matter.

This kid, on the other hand, actively offered to take on the job.

"Kid, I don't have money to pay you."

"No money! It's free!"

Daichi's smile grew even brighter.
