Reborn as Kaido, Protect Whitebeard Summit war

This development caught Buggy off guard.

The man in front of him was Whitebeard.

Others did not know Whitebeard. They had only heard of his name and knew that he was the strongest man in the world, a very dangerous criminal, and a pirate.

But Buggy had come into contact with Whitebeard when he was young.

Whitebeard at that time was simply terrifying.

When he fought with Roger, the sea flooded, and the world turned upside down.

It seemed as if he was going to destroy the world every time.

And the key point was that Whitebeard never avoided fighting with Roger.

In other words, he was not the kind of person with a good temper or who was easily intimidated.

Provoking Whitebeard and going to war with him—there was obviously only one outcome: witnessing Whitebeard's destructive power and then dying in despair.

Buggy, however, planned to let his subordinates deal with Whitebeard, so he dared to speak wildly.

Who would have thought that Whitebeard, so cruel and terrifying, would actually say such things to Buggy now?

Join forces?

Whitebeard's head, and let's talk about it after this matter?

Is this something Whitebeard could say?

Even Roger back then wasn't enough to make Whitebeard so scared, right?

Buggy was so shocked that his nose was running.

His head was buzzing and blank, his mind temporarily unable to work.

Buggy's crew, however, was more excited than before.

"Is Whitebeard... scared?!"

"How powerful is Captain Buggy that Whitebeard is so scared that he even promised to give up his head?"

"Although I know that Captain Buggy is a legendary figure, I still underestimated his strength. Even Whitebeard is afraid of him!!"

"On par with the strongest man in the world!"

"Captain Buggy!!"

The followers behind him cheered excitedly at this moment.

And listening to the flattery of the people behind him, plus the fact that Whitebeard did seem to be scared, Buggy was stunned. He also immediately responded ostentatiously, "It's normal. This is how I am when I'm serious!"

"It's not impossible to join forces with that guy to deal with the navy."

"After all, we are pirates, and the navy is naturally our enemy."

"Okay, Whitebeard."

"I promise you."

"Let's join forces!"

Buggy was very excited.

An alliance with Whitebeard.

This scary guy can defeat the navy by himself, right?

So, if he cooperates with Whitebeard, he doesn't need to put in much effort but can take the opportunity to become famous all over the world.

Joining forces with Whitebeard to defeat the navy.

It sounds so good.

Buggy seemed to have already seen himself becoming the Pirate King...

No.

Becoming the King of the World!

Hahahaha!!

"Captain Buggy!!!"

The followers, listening to Buggy's communication with Whitebeard on an equal footing, shouted in even greater admiration.

This scene left Marco, the captain of Whitebeard's first division, speechless.

Were Buggy and his followers too idiotic?

Had they been imprisoned in Impel Down for too long?

But it didn't matter.

This group of followers was indeed very troublesome, and being able to turn enemies into friends did save a lot of trouble.

At that moment, a figure suddenly stood up from Whitebeard's ship and immediately looked at Buggy.

"Buggy, you are also a legendary figure, right?"

A voice asked.

Hearing this, Buggy was quite happy.

Being praised as a legendary figure—his worth had increased again.

Very good.

The person who said this was very tactful.

So, Buggy laughed and said, "Of course! You need my help...?"

Buggy was very happy and subconsciously wanted to take care of the person who flattered him.

But when Buggy looked over, he was shocked.

It was a figure even more exaggerated than Whitebeard. Horns on its head, a mace in its hand.

It looked like a peerless beast.

Buggy had seen this person before and had come into contact with him.

He had also seen this figure on the wanted poster.

"Kaido?!"

Buggy's eyes almost popped out.

What's going on?

Why is Kaido on Whitebeard's ship?

And why is he talking to him, even praising him?

First, Whitebeard took the initiative to talk to him.

And now it's Kaido.

This was going to scare people to death!

Buggy's crew members were also shocked.

"Four Emperors Kaido... why is he here?"

"His aura is even scarier than Whitebeard's. Is it my illusion? My legs went weak when I saw him. I didn't feel that way when I saw Whitebeard..."

"This is a monster..."

"If I met him alone, I would probably collapse immediately... But fortunately, we are following Captain Buggy now, so we don't have to worry too much."

"That's right, Kaido said that Buggy is a legendary figure, and the two Four Emperors are afraid of Captain Buggy's strength!"

"Captain Buggy is awesome."

The followers' admiration increased significantly.

Buggy, however, was terrified.

Whitebeard had finally brought a moment of peace.

But now, Kaido appeared.

Buggy had no connection to him, and from what he knew, Kaido was unpredictable—borderline insane.

Was Kaido here to kill him?

Fear flooded Buggy's mind.

…

On the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, the Moby Dick,

Kaido stared at Buggy, deep in thought.

Is this clown really a legendary figure?

Just moments ago, Kaido had killed three Shichibukai and received a reward for completing a side quest.

The side quest rewards had intrigued him.

When Kaido opened the gift pack, he obtained something astonishing: [Devil Fruit Groove, Devil Fruit of Your Choice x1].

The 'Devil Fruit Groove' meant that Kaido could now eat two devil fruits.

In the world of One Piece, people can only consume one devil fruit—eating a second results in death.

Blackbeard was an exception, but he had proven that the rule of one devil fruit wasn't absolute. And now, thanks to the system reward, Kaido had unlocked a new ability, allowing him to become a dual-ability user.

But the most shocking part was that the reward included the option to choose any devil fruit he wanted. Any fruit, without restriction!

After Kaido reviewed the devil fruit selection list, he was stunned to see that there were no limits. He could select fruits that had already been eaten, effectively creating duplicates of devil fruits.

This discovery shook Kaido.

The system was this overpowered? But then again, why wouldn't it be? If it could make all of his attributes invincible, creating duplicates of devil fruits was no big deal.

Without hesitation, Kaido made his choice.

"Nika Fruit."

He didn't even need to think twice.

Any hesitation would have been disrespectful to such an incredible cheat.

However, there was a catch.

The initial form of the Nika Fruit was the Gomu Gomu no Mi, the Rubber-Rubber Fruit. Only through deep development would it evolve into the Nika Fruit.

Nevertheless, Kaido ate it.

[Nika Fruit Development Level: Initial]

[Form: Paramecia-Type—Rubber-Rubber Fruit]

"It's not a big problem," Kaido muttered to himself. "When I get a king-level strength upgrade card, I'll raise the fruit's development level to Nika. I don't need to go through the trouble of developing it myself... The system can fast-track it for me."

The only issue was that Kaido lacked the king-level strength upgrade card, which could only be obtained through the main storyline.

Although it was unclear if it could drop from side quests, Kaido wasn't too concerned.

Among Kaido's side quests was a mission to kill a legendary figure.

Figures like Garp, Sengoku, and Whitebeard came to mind, but none of them would be easy targets.

As Kaido pondered who might be the simplest to eliminate, he overheard Buggy speaking loudly.

This caught Kaido's attention.

He stood up and looked over at Buggy.

Is Buggy considered a legendary figure?

Could killing Buggy fulfill the side quest?

Kaido was intrigued.

Without further hesitation, Kaido leapt from the ship.

Standing over seven meters tall, even larger than Whitebeard, with muscles bulging like a wild beast, Kaido landed in front of Buggy and his followers.

"Buggy," Kaido called out in his deep, intimidating voice.

"Let's fight."

If Kaido killed Buggy, maybe he could complete the side quest.
