Chapter 24 The Proud Beasts, Awakening of Conqueror's Haki
"Hey! Hey! Hey! What did you do to him? How could you make him hurt like this?" Yamato asked in utter astonishment.
Is this for real? Is the person in front of her really Kaido of the Beasts? The Kaido of the Beasts who, even after being beaten countless times and dealt with by the Navy and other pirate forces, wouldn't utter a sound even when his own spiked club hit his head?
Kaido looks like a third-rate pirate who's been beaten up, yelling and screaming on the ground.
"This is no ordinary pain; it is a dual torment of the soul and the body. This is the power of the demonic contract," Rhodes said.
The reason why a demonic contract can bind demonic creatures is because it can bind their souls and cause damage to them.
As is well known, killing demons in the material plane is futile; these demons will be resurrected in the Twisting Nether or on Argus with the help of a Death Titan.
The Burning Legion's strongest force is Sargeras, but the second strongest force is not Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, but a certain death titan, Argus.
Therefore, if you physically harm a demon, you will absolutely not be able to destroy it. Physical torture is nothing to a demon. So, a demon contract binds the soul.
The damage to the soul is extremely painful; it's a heart-wrenching pain. Kaido's current state is the normal reaction.
"What, do you also want to experience this heart-wrenching feeling? I can grant your request, Yamato," Rod said with a smile.
"You bastard! I, ah! ah! It hurts so much!!" Yamato instantly threw her spiked club to the ground, and then rolled around on the ground with her father, Kaido.
Please, I don't know anything about chivalry or showing mercy. In the world of Azeroth, cruel reality taught Rhodes what cruelty is.
Only strength is worthy of trust.
However, Yamato's punishment only lasted a short while before Rhode ended the torment of the demon contract and restored her to health.
"This is just an appetizer; what your dad is really going to do is the main course," Rod said with a grin.
But to Yamato, that smile was the most terrifying and evil demonic smile.
"No, no! Please, sob sob!"
"Tell me, what's your name? Is it still Kozuki Oden?" Rhodes asked.

"I, I am, it's me! Ah! I'm not begging you, I beg you to stop, I, I am Yamato."
"Oh, right, your name is Yamato, and you're a little girl, not Kozuki Oden. Remember that. Alright, get up! From now on, be a good little maid!" Rhodes gently patted Yamato's head and said.
However, in Yamato's eyes, this was the ultimate shock. Rhodes could clearly feel Yamato's body trembling.
"You, you damned brat! Ah! No, don't bully my stupid son!" At this moment, Kaido, despite the torment of the demon contract, actually stood up and roared at Rod through gritted teeth.
My own silly son, only he can bully him, that wretched little brat, it hurts so much! It really hurts!
"I must say, Kaido, you have surprised me greatly. Alright, get up. I have ended the bond of the demon contract," Rhodes said.
Kaido is incredibly powerful. If you torture his soul with a demonic contract for a short while, he can recover in the future. However, if the torture lasts too long, it will cause permanent damage to Kaido's soul, and his strength will be greatly reduced.
"Huff! Huff! Huff! Stand up, you stupid son! Even if you're controlled by the enemy, you must maintain your dignity! Stand up!" Kaido roared as he looked at his daughter, who was kneeling on the ground crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Ugh! Waaah!" Yamato wiped away his tears and got up from the ground.
This was the first time she had felt her father's love. Although her father had been cruel before and had even put bombs and chains on her, she had indeed felt Kaido's care.
"Boy, you can't control me with this kind of method. Even if you kill me, I will not accept your control. This is the pride of Kaido of the Beasts. A pirate who loses his freedom has no reason to live."
"So, Kaido of the Beasts, do you really want me to kill you?" Rod asked.
Kaido of the Beasts actually wanted to negotiate with him. But as Kaido said, the demon slave contract is indeed a form of torture targeting both the soul and the body, but if the other party is determined to die, Rhodes really has no way to deal with him.
"No! I don't want to die yet. I still have dreams to fulfill, so let's make a promise! I will serve you wholeheartedly for ten years. After ten years, if your strength surpasses mine..."
"Then I'll follow you, but if your strength remains the same, then kill me!" Kaido of the Beasts said.
He could tell that this kid named Rod was an ambitious fellow. He dared to attack him, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, so soon after his debut. This kid's audacity was simply outrageous.
A person like this would definitely not be mediocre on this vast ocean.
So he gave this kid 10 years. If he could become stronger than him within 10 years, then it wouldn't matter if he followed him.
However, if one's strength is insufficient to truly subdue Kaido of the Beasts, even in death, Kaido of the Beasts will not follow others or become their puppet.
"Hahahaha! Ten years, Kaido, you underestimate me too much."
However, I will still agree to this agreement. For the next 10 years, as long as you sincerely serve me, I will absolutely not use the power of the Demon Contract to bind you.
"And I will do everything I can to make you stronger. If I still can't beat you in ten years, then I will set you free," Rhodes said.
They obtained a cheat code that allowed them to travel through so many worlds.
How could I possibly lie flat?
How could I possibly be salted fish?
The myriad realms hold endless opportunities and treasures, and countless ways to become stronger.
If I still can't defeat a mere Kaido of the Beasts after 10 years, what face do I have left to live?
What I want is for your entire pirate world to submit to me.
I want to be above all others.
Thinking of this, a surge of heroic spirit arose in Rhodes' heart.
At that moment, a powerful aura surged into the sky, and Kaido's eyes widened instantly—this was Conqueror's Haki.
This kid also has the potential to become a king, but that's not surprising, considering he dared to attack one of the Four Emperors of the New World and even succeeded.
It would be strange if he didn't have Conqueror's Haki!
