Chapter 93 Navy Infiltrator, The Role of Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit
"That's right, it's this kid. This bastard just arrived in the New World and he already wants to join my pirate crew," Kaido said.
"Father-in-law! The Navy and such are not to be trusted. They often plant spies for you. Think about it, a degenerate Navy admiral pirate, who happens to have a Devil Fruit ability that is your favorite, the Ancient Zoan Dragon Fruit."
"He just entered the new world and immediately declared his intention to join your ranks. Isn't it obvious he's after you? I wouldn't believe he's not an undercover agent," Rhodes said.
Who in the New World likes Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits the most? Need I say more? It's Kaido, of course.
"You mean this X Drake is specifically targeting me? He's a spy sent by the Navy?" Kaido asked.
"That's right. He just arrived in the New World and immediately came to you without saying a word. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?" Rhodes said.
In addition, Kaido's Beasts Pirates have been performing exceptionally well lately. Under these circumstances, the Navy is undoubtedly very eager to know the internal situation of the Beasts Pirates, and Drake's undercover mission should begin ahead of schedule.
"Tch, so do you have direct evidence? If it's just suspicion, why not just kill this kid or not recruit him? What will people say about me, Kaido of the Beasts?" Kaido said.
Although Rhodes' analysis is quite detailed, the problem is that he doesn't have any substantial evidence.
To sentence someone to death based on a single analysis is clearly not in line with the style of the Beasts Pirates. If they do that, no pirate in the New World will dare to come and join them in the future.
Rhodes was speechless. With such an obvious flaw, how could he not see that he was an undercover agent?
Moreover, the opponent's Ancient Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit and Allosaurus form are also valuable items.
Ancient species fruits can't be wasted! After consuming fel blood, an ancient species instantly transforms into a mythical beast! Or perhaps other powers of Azeroth could be incorporated into them; Ragnaros, the Firelord, is one example.
"I'm 100% certain he's a Navy spy. The reason we brought him to Wano Country was to inform the Navy of our information," Rhodes said.
The construction of the Dark Gate in Wano Country, and even the future opening of the Dark Gate, must not be leaked. Drake Rod has no intention of letting him live, and any unstable factors must be eliminated.
Just as the group was talking, a black figure flew over from a distance. The newcomer was King, the Wildfire of the Beasts Pirates.
"Boss Kaido, there's a phone call for you." After saying that, King took out a black Den Den Mushi and handed it to Kaido. The phone was making a loud "balah blah" sound.
"Who attacked?" Kaido turned and asked.
"It's Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors," Jhin said.
If it were just some unimportant Den Den Mushi call, he wouldn't come to find Kaido in person. Recently, he gained the power of Fel Flame, which has further enhanced his physical abilities.
We're practicing these skills and learning new moves right now! Time is very tight.
"What does this old woman want with me?" Kaido asked, somewhat puzzled. Although they were once members of the Rocks Pirates, the two of them rarely kept in touch.
Kaido is keen on increasing his strength and collecting Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, while Charlotte Linlin is keen on finding men to have children with and all kinds of delicious sweets.
The relationship between the two can be described as one of keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.
"I don't know!" Jin shook his head and said.
Kaido snorted and answered the Den Den Mushi directly.
"Old woman, what do you want from me?"
"Hey, hey, you little brat Kaido, you've been making quite a splash lately! I've heard all about what's going on with you." A woman's voice came from the Den Den Mushi's mouth, and at the same time, the Den Den Mushi's appearance changed to that of a fierce old woman.
"Hmph! What's it to you? Lingling, just say what you want to say, or I'm hanging up." Kaido said.
"I'm going to throw a tea party and invite that new kid over, the one you're controlling, the one who ate the cursed fruit," Charlotte Linlin said.
Rhodes, who was sitting next to Kaido, was startled.
Holy crap! The old lady is actually looking for me. I've only been back in Wano Country for about ten days, and I'm already being targeted. It seems news of the Marineford War spreads pretty fast.
"Tch! Why would I let this kid go?" Kaido said, curling his lip.
Sure enough, after capturing Whitebeard, all the major powers have set their sights on his Beasts Pirates. However, Kaido is neither afraid nor cares. Kaido's strength is now at its peak, not to mention he has Whitebeard by his side.
With two combatants surpassing the level of the Four Emperors, he wouldn't be afraid even if the Navy and the other two Four Emperors attacked together.
"Hmph! You brat, you owe me a huge favor, you haven't forgotten, have you? Now I'll make you pay for it," Charlotte Linlin said.
"Have I ever owed you a favor? I don't remember doing that. Is that true?" Kaido asked.
"Don't try to renege on your debt, kid. This is a lifelong favor. You owe me everything you have today. Have you forgotten what you told me when you left the Rocks Pirates?" Charlotte Linlin said.
Upon hearing this, Kaido's face darkened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He truly owed Charlotte Linlin a huge favor.
When he left the Rocks Pirates, Charlotte Linlin gave him a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, which is his current Devil Fruit power: the Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon form.
"You're not trying to renege on your promise, are you! You brat, I only invited this kid to a tea party."
Upon hearing this, Kaido's eyes instantly blazed with fury. He was indeed trying to renege on his promise. The importance of Rhodes was self-evident, and more importantly, damn it, I am his subordinate, not the other way around.
Although the kid was quite polite to him after he was subdued, and he did keep his promise, Kaido couldn't control Rhodes.
"Change your request! Old woman, you should know how important this boy is. He's already married to my daughter and is my son-in-law, so don't even think about making a move on her," Kaido said.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Lingling on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback and remained silent for a few seconds.
"Oh my god! I didn't expect you to have a daughter? She's not as ugly as you, is she?" Charlotte Linlin said with a teasing look.
"Hmph! My daughter is more beautiful than all your daughters combined," Kaido said.
He said this with great confidence, after all, Yamato's appearance is quite presentable.
Moreover, Charlotte Linlin's daughters are all ugly; only a few are presentable, while most look like monsters.
"What a pity! I originally planned to marry one of my daughters to that kid! Then I would form a marriage alliance with your Beasts Pirates."
"Kaido! Tell me, how exactly does that kid control Whitebeard? What's Whitebeard's condition right now?" Charlotte Linlin suddenly changed the subject and asked.
After all, everyone knows perfectly well why she called.
"You've revealed your true thoughts, haven't you, Lingling? You really are eyeing that old man's power."
"You want to know? Well, I won't mind telling you. Whitebeard is now one of the strongest fighters in our Beasts Pirates, second only to me." Kaido said with a loud laugh.
"I really didn't expect that you would actually control that old guy Whitebeard. But with such a huge fighting force, do you think the World Government and the Navy will just let you go unchecked?"
Why don't the two of us join forces? If the three of us get together, the Rocks Pirates will essentially be reunited.
"At that time, neither the World Government nor the Navy will be a match for us. After we've dealt with the World Government and the Navy, we'll fight each other to the death," Charlotte Linlin said.
Kaido scoffed at these words, saying, "With my current strength, I don't need to join forces with you."
Kaido smiled, intending to refuse Charlotte Linlin's offer, but Rod, standing to the side, shook his head and nodded to Kaido.
This is a fantastic opportunity! This is an old lady who practically delivered herself to our doorstep.
If we can control you, and then find another opportunity to control Golden Lion, then the Rocks Pirates will truly be reunited.
"I know! Old woman, when is your Camellia Festival? I'll bring my son to attend together," Kaido said.
"Well, well, well! You little brat, you're smart enough to come over in five days. Bring the brat with you then!"
"If possible, bring Whitebeard along too. He's an old friend, and I'd like to see him," Charlotte Linlin said.
"Hmph!" Kaido snorted coldly and hung up the Den Den Mushi!
"Jin! Go and inform that X Drake that I'm not sending anyone to pick him up. Let him sail to Wano Country himself. I'll be waiting for him there," Kaido said.
King the Wildfire nodded! He activated his Devil Fruit ability and flew away.
"Rhodes! Why did you agree? That old woman was clearly after you," Kaido said.
"Didn't you want to drag her down with you a while ago? Why don't we put that plan into action?" Rod said with a smile.
"Sign that kind of contract? You can't do it now, can you?" Kaido asked.
"I can't do it, but we don't need to subdue her by signing a contract. Can't we just beat her into submission?" Rhodes said.
Charlotte Linlin is a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, which allows her to extract the souls of others and imbue other objects with life. She can turn an inanimate object into a living one with its own consciousness. For example, the Prometheus Zeus she created is an elemental force from nature.
To put it bluntly, Charlotte Linlin's abilities are incredibly overpowered, no matter which world she's in.
Whether a soul contract or a demon enslavement contract would work on her, Rhodes really couldn't guarantee.
Therefore, to subdue this old woman, we need to use some special methods, such as the pirate method.
"The world of pirates is a dog-eat-dog world. Since she was able to join the Rocks Pirates, there's no reason why she can't join your Beasts Pirates."
"You and Whitebeard together, surely you can subdue that old woman? Just beat her into submission," Rod said.
The world of One Piece is a world where big fish eat little fish, and he has fully grasped this point. In that case, now the two bigger fish, Kaido and Whitebeard, can eat Charlotte Linlin.
"That makes sense. That old woman is no match for me now, hehehe! Let's do as you say and go subdue this old woman and beat her into submission." Kaido said excitedly.
Big Mom's power is also crucial. Rhode wants to conduct an experiment to see if Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit can replenish his soul energy.
"I remember Lingling has a daughter whose Devil Fruit power is the Memory Fruit. That fruit is very useful," Rod said with a smile.
Being able to view memories and arbitrarily alter their fruits is extremely useful.
If used properly, it might have unexpected effects. After all, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your mother or siblings, would you? - Brin
"You little rascal, you've really got your eye on her daughter." Kaido said.
"I did have my eye on her daughter, but not in the way you're thinking."
"Once X Drake arrives in Wano Country, the Memory-Memory Fruit will be able to check if he's a Marine spy. Then you'll know whether I've been lying to you or not," Rhodes said.
"It will take at least ten days to drive from the entrance to the New World to Wano Country, after the tea party ends."
"We can get back just in time to deal with that X Drake. If he really is a World Government spy, then we'll extract his Devil Fruit power," Kaido said.
"Mom, should we stick to our original plan and force that kid to stay?" Charlotte Perospero asked.
"Kaido is coming this time too, but if our plan works, we should be able to control Whitebeard through that kid," Charlotte Linlin said.
"Whether this will succeed depends on whether that girl, Pudding, can alter that kid's memories," Charlotte Katakuri said.
"Oh my god! Pudding, you can definitely control that kid and change his memories to make him a member of our family. Your husband, you won't let your mother down, right?" Charlotte Linlin said to her daughter.
"Ai! Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely be able to change that kid's memory, hehe." A girl with three eyes, who looked about fourteen years old, said with a sinister smile.
