The next mont, the temperature plumted.
Crack, crack, crack~
Kaido, who was raising his spiked club, ready to pursue, felt a cold current invade his entire body. Then, ice ford rapidly on him at a visible speed, freezing him solid within two to three breaths, creating a gigantic, humanoid block of ice.
"Arara~ if I hadn’t happened to be wandering nearby, I wouldn’t have made it back in ti."
A tall man, wearing a white suit vest and a dark blue shirt, with a green eye mask on his head, lazily walked from the sea onto the port. The Marines looked on, and indeed, there was a three-ter-wide path of ice on the sea, with wisps of white cold air rising from it. Not far away, three bicycles were parked on it.
"Fr-frozen!"
"That’s..."
"Admiral Aokiji!"
"Great! Aokiji-san is back!"
The Marines cheered, overjoyed. With another Admiral returning, even a Yonko probably wouldn’t get away unscathed.
Aokiji rubbed his sleepy eyes and casually rested a hand on a Marine’s shoulder, smiling. "Hmm, sorry for the trouble. Could you help collect my bikes?"
"Y-yes, sir!" The Marine responded, sowhat overwheld and montarily stuttering. He hadn’t expected a distinguished Marine Admiral to speak to him so politely.
Crack!
A piece of ice shard fell. A crack appeared on the giant ice block.
Crack, crack, crack...
Imdiately after, dozens of fine cracks appeared on the ice.
Boom!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The ice block exploded violently, countless shards of ice shooting out, actually producing clear whistling sounds as they tore through the air. If an ordinary person had been nearby, they would likely have been riddled like a sieve by these fragnts.
"Graah! Damn you! How dare you ambush !" Kaido, now free, roared and charged toward Aokiji with his spiked club.
"Kaido of the Beasts, isn’t living quite nice? Why insist on seeking death? What a bother, it’s quite troubleso for us too..." Aokiji scratched his head with a troubled expression, facing the furiously charging Kaido.
Despite his words, Aokiji’s movents were not slow. He directly leaped into the air, extending both hands, one forward and one back: "Ice Block: Partisan."
Cold air condensed, and four ice spears rapidly ford beside him, flying towards Kaido.
"Please don’t ignore , Kaido-san~ Laser Beam!"
A playful voice rang out. Kizaru, not far away, extended his hand, his index finger pointed forward, countless photons gathering at his fingertip, and a laser beam shot out with a whoosh.
"Perfect timing! Let’s take him down together!"
Sengoku, who had transford into a giant golden Buddha, pushed his palm forward. The white halo ford by the powerful shockwave erupted again, cracking the ground inch by inch.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rumble, rumble, rumble~
Shockwaves, freezing cold, lasers, and raging winds swept across Marineford. The ground trembled, shattered rocks flew everywhere, and roaring sounds were incessant. The sea within dozens of miles was greatly affected, and even the thick clouds in the sky were broken apart.
Three days later, sowhere in the New World.
A massive three-masted warship with a black wolf’s head sailed on the sea.
Pere pere pere... pere pere pere...
Click!
The sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out in the captain’s cabin. Aeridar, who was hunched over the table writing his sea log, looked up and casually answered the call.
"Moshi moshi, this is Aeridar."
"Captain, this is Mina," Mina’s clear voice ca from the Den Den Mushi.
Aeridar’s quill paused, and he asked in surprise, "Oh, Mina, is sothing up?"
"Our contacts and moles in Marine Headquarters sent an interesting piece of news. Want to hear it?" Mina said with a chuckle.
"Interesting news? Tell ," Aeridar’s face showed a hint of amusent.
"Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Yonko, caused a huge disturbance in Marineford," Mina said leisurely.
"Nani!!!" Aeridar was startled and quickly asked, "When was this? What’s the battle status?"
"Three days ago, Kaido stord into Marineford Port seeking death. He engaged in battle with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Kizaru, and Admiral Aokiji, who returned just in ti, all stationed at Marine Headquarters. Later, Admiral Aokiji turned the sea into an ice field, luring Kaido to fight on it. The two sides battled fiercely for three days and three nights. Marineford Port was completely destroyed, and a quarter of the Marine Headquarters fortress was torn down. The aftermath of the battle has even led to tsunami warnings for the Sabaody Archipelago," Mina relayed, one detail after another.
"What a bunch of monsters. What was the outco?" Aeridar’s eyelid twitched, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Sengoku, Kizaru, and Aokiji sustained injuries. Kaido was captured after exhausting his strength. However, the Marines issued a gag order. I’m not sure why. It’s very strange," Mina said, sowhat perplexed.
Capturing a Yonko-level Great Pirate?
Given the temperant of the Marines and the World Governnt, shouldn’t they be celebrating grandly and broadcasting the news to the whole world?
This would not only greatly enhance the prestige of the Marines and the World Governnt but also deter pirates and other petty criminals.
So why issue a gag order and prevent the news from leaking?
Are they afraid of an attack from the Beast Pirates?
But that doesn’t make sense. The captain is the soul of every pirate crew. The Beast Pirates, without Kaido, even with their three Calamities, shouldn’t be enough to make the Marines wary.
So why?
"...Because the Marines... can’t kill Kaido!"
Aeridar’s lips curved into a smile, his eyes holding a deep aning. Mina might not know, but how could Aeridar not know?
This wasn’t the first ti Kaido had single-handedly attacked the Marines. In the original storyline, two years later, when Kaido made his first official appearance, his introduction was: "He has experienced seven defeats, been captured 18 tis when challenging the Marines and the Yonko alone, and endured over a thousand tortures. He has been sentenced to death 40 tis; even when hanged, he broke the chains; even when brought to the guillotine, he shattered the blades; even when pierced by spears, the spears themselves broke. He has sunk as many as nine giant prison ships, and no one has ever been able to kill him. He even tried to commit suicide multiple tis without success."
Leaving aside everything else, just jumping from a 10,000-ter high sky island without a single scratch—you try letting Marvel’s Thor and Hulk fall from that height (see Avengers 1). Even Whitebeard couldn’t kill him.
"When it cos to one-on-one, Kaido is undoubtedly the strongest."
This is almost everyone’s consensus, and it’s a testant to his strength. Otherwise, why would Doflamingo be so afraid of Kaido? Because he was once thoroughly beaten by Kaido, almost to death.
