I’m the suit thug from the Rocks Pirates! Chapter 130

But if an Animal-type ability user appeared, Kaido would directly recruit them into his crew, regardless of the means. No matter what method was used, Kaido wouldn’t feel the slightest psychological burden. It was precisely because of Kaido’s unscrupulous methods that his Beast Pirates expanded rapidly.

Although Charlotte Linlin wasn’t as ruthless as Kaido, she had gained countless powerful members in her crew over the past two years. Moreover, after truly realizing Kaido’s scoundrel image, Charlotte Linlin entered the state described in the original story earlier than expected.

It’s worth noting that when she was in the Rocks Pirates, although Charlotte Linlin wasn’t considered a world-class beauty, she was at least praised for her appearance. But her current appearance made Kaido incredibly shocked when he saw it. He simply couldn’t believe that the fat and ugly woman standing in front of him was Charlotte Linlin, two years after their breakup.

However, when Charlotte Linlin saw Kaido’s reaction at that moment, her mind was instantly filled with rage. She grabbed her weapon and fought Kaido again. Feeling the expression and appearance of this madwoman, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido felt no regret in his heart; instead, he was incredibly fortunate. If he had left this madwoman any later, he truly didn’t know what kind of fate he would have met.

Kaido’s increase in strength also made Charlotte Linlin somewhat shocked. Although Charlotte Linlin could still gain the upper hand in battle, it was basically impossible to seriously injure Kaido as she did a year ago. Moreover, Charlotte Linlin finally understood why Kaido was so excited after getting the Devil Fruit she gave him. It was clearly a Fish-Fish Fruit, yet Kaido could transform into a dragon form! Kaido even deliberately thanked Charlotte Linlin for it, saying that without her help, he wouldn’t have become so powerful. Kaido already knew Charlotte Linlin was a madwoman, yet he kept using such words to provoke her. It’s imaginable how furious Charlotte Linlin would be upon hearing this.

While Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were fighting, their respective pirate crews weren’t idle either. Flame Calamity, who was supposed to be one of the Beast Pirates’ Three Calamities, became Kaido’s subordinate earlier by challenging the Three Emperors’ Frenzy. Under his leadership, Charlotte Linlin’s pirate crew suffered significant casualties.

Ultimately, for the sake of her pirate crew, Charlotte Linlin could only end the war. However, before leaving, Charlotte Linlin still looked at Kaido and uttered a harsh statement, saying that her current appearance was all because of Kaido, and that one day, Charlotte Linlin would personally eliminate him. When Charlotte Linlin said these words, Kaido could clearly feel the hatred in her eyes. Even though Kaido was already so strong, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

However, to maintain his image in front of his subordinates, Kaido showed great disdain for this. He even proactively challenged Charlotte Linlin to wage war against their Beast Pirates! Despite this, neither Kaido nor Charlotte Linlin would choose to start a real war at this time. After all, besides their two pirate crews, there was still a major force in the New World: the fleet formed by Shiki the Golden Lion!

Originally, Shiki was immersed in his position as one of the Three Emperors, constantly accepting challenges from others and occasionally recruiting fresh blood for his Golden Lion Fleet. But when he finally came to his senses, he realized that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin had unknowingly developed their forces to an impressive degree! Even with the current strength of the Golden Lion Fleet, Shiki didn’t want to easily go to war with these two.

After all, although Charlotte Linlin still held hatred for Kaido, this hatred had gradually faded compared to two years ago. At the very least, she wouldn’t constantly clash with Kaido’s Beast Pirates as she did at first, regardless of the consequences. Even if the Golden Lion Fleet had the power to annihilate one of their pirate crews, the other would absolutely not sit idly by. After all, once Shiki dealt with one, he couldn’t let the other continue to run rampant.

It was precisely because of this that Shiki was filled with frustration. It was all that Lone Red’s fault! If he hadn’t been constantly challenging him for the past two years, how could his Golden Lion Fleet still be in this state?! No wonder Whitebeard and Roger never liked him! Shiki began to feel that he, too, disliked this guy very much! He clearly didn’t have Luo Ye’s strength and personality, yet he tried to imitate Luo Ye in everything! What if such a person had strength comparable to his own? After two years of challenges, he still hadn’t obtained a Three Emperor position.

Upon thinking of this, Shiki’s mood couldn’t help but brighten again. Even if Lone Red had a bounty only lower than the Three Emperors and one Emperor, as long as he didn’t obtain a Three Emperor position, in others’ eyes, he was at most someone with impressive strength, still having a certain gap compared to their New World’s Three Emperors!

However, after realizing that this thought had once again risen in his mind, Shiki, who had come to his senses, gently slapped himself. He had clearly made up his mind not to be entangled by this so-called Three Emperor title, but the very next second, this thought popped up again. Neither Whitebeard nor Roger were like him, Shiki. Both of them had very clear goals. One only wanted to adopt sons. One wanted to explore everywhere and be chased constantly by the Marines. In the end, only he, Shiki, was left, obsessed with this Three Emperor title, almost forgetting that his goal was to rule the world!

Shiki took a deep puff of his cigar and muttered, “This won’t do!”

“I’m afraid this situation is what those Marines want to see!”

“Seeing me constantly entangled by this Three Emperor title, Steel Bone Kong and Sengoku must be very happy!”

The belated Shiki, after two years, witnessed the rise of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, and finally realized that this was simply a trap set by the Marines for the pirates of the New World! Their purpose was to see the pirate crews of the New World constantly fighting each other, so that the Marines could benefit from it.

In these two years, the Marines hadn’t used even a single soldier. They simply used this so-called title of Three Emperors and one Emperor, plus a few wanted posters, to cause countless casualties among the pirates in the New World, and even presented a rare period of peace. Because these pirates were all involved in the frenzy of challenging the Three Emperors, those who went out to plunder were very few. Even if there were still pirates doing those things, they didn’t participate because they lacked the strength and qualifications. Even just sending a random Marine force from Marine Headquarters could deal with these pirates! They even used these pirates to train their newly recruited soldiers.

Upon realizing this, the enraged Shiki slammed his cigar heavily onto the deck. No wonder when he encountered Whitebeard and Roger before, their expressions were so strange when they looked at him. It seemed that Whitebeard and Roger had already realized this! Yet no one had bothered to warn him!
