Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

"Not only will the times change dramatically, but a massive war that will affect the whole world will probably be inevitable."

Hawkeye suddenly said something like that.

Redhead was taken aback and was about to ask a question when Ben Beckman suddenly interrupted:

"Hawkeye, are you injured?"

Redhead was startled, his drunkenness subsided, and he noticed a bandage wrapped around Hawkeye's abdomen.

Redhead was quite shocked.

"Hawkeye, you went to the East China Sea for travel, how could you be injured with your strength?"

Shanks, who has sparred with Hawkeye, knows all too well just how strong Hawkeye is.

Beckman, along with the other Red-Haired Corps officers, kept a close eye on Hawkeye.

They were curious about who had the ability to injure Hawkeye.

However, Hawkeye looked even more puzzled than they were, and frowned as he said:

"The East China Sea has a terrifying being like the King of the Near Seas, so isn't it normal for me to get injured?"

"Redhead, didn't he also cut off your arm?"

"Before I left, you said that if I encountered the King of the Near Sea, my life might be in danger."

Red-Haired Shanks was feeling thirsty and was pouring some wine into his mouth when he heard Hawkeye's words, and he immediately spat out all the wine.

Luckily, Hawkeye reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed in the face.

Hawkeye roared, "Redhead, what are you doing!"

Shanks quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it."

Apart from Beckman, Lachru and other Red Army cadres were all desperately trying to suppress their laughter.

Hawkeye was even more confused.

What's so funny?

Redhead said, "Hawkeye, you really found the King of the Coast, and you even got bitten... no, injured by it?"

Hawkeye's voice was tinged with regret:

"No, I missed meeting the King of the Near Sea this time. I encountered another unexpected being, who is also the source of the great war I just mentioned."

Redhead breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness they hadn't met. He asked:

"who is it?"

"Luo Xing, the Prince Consort of a Hundred Beasts!"

"Who?!"

Red-haired's eyes widened instantly, and Beckman also stood up from where he stood. He even stopped eating the chicken leg from Lachir. The Red Army cadres all looked surprised.

Obviously.

Luo Xing's reputation as one of the Five Emperors of the Sea was enough to make the Four Emperors' crew take him extremely seriously.

“I encountered the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing and saw his true face,” Hawkeye repeated.

"Did he hurt you?" Beckman asked.

"No, he's just a greenhorn who's fresh out of school."

"How is that possible!"

The redhead looked utterly incredulous.

"How could a mere brat possibly hurt you?"

Hawkeye sighed:

"He couldn't have hurt me at first; I easily defeated him with just a small dagger."

"However, the Five Emperors Luo Xing fed him a freak cell, and his strength instantly increased a hundredfold!"

"And it seems that it has also awakened Conqueror's Haki, and I was injured by it when I was not careful."

Redhead, Beckman, and the others were stunned.

A young upstart eats monster cells, his strength increases a hundredfold, he awakens Conqueror's Haki, and injures Hawkeye.

It's just like listening to a fairy tale.

Beckman took a deep drag of his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and said:

"That young man must have eaten the more advanced kind of monster cells that the Three Disasters ate, otherwise he couldn't have such incredible growth."

Beckman truly lives up to his reputation as one of the world's most brilliant minds; he guessed the truth so quickly.

The more advanced monster cells, which could injure Hawkeye if ingested, made the Red Crew's executives look on with envy and even longing.

After all, no one wants to be anything less than stronger.

After a moment of shock, Shanks asked a question that was even more crucial than the monster cells.

"Hawkeye, you should be the first person from the outside world to see the true face of that mysterious Luo Xing. What kind of person is he?"

This is a question that Hawkeye has been thinking about for a long time.

He recalled that he had challenged Luo Xing twice, but the latter had not accepted either time, saying that he did not like fighting and that if he had to fight, he would kill his enemy.

That calm and composed demeanor, yet imbued with an aura of supreme majesty, truly shocked Hawkeye at the time.

Hawkeye thought for a long time before answering:

"I can't accurately describe what kind of person he is; I can only describe him in one word—"

"Unfathomable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Red Team, including Red Hair and Beckman, was terrified!

……

……

The country of peace.

After traveling for several days, Luo Xing, Yahe, and their group finally returned.

It didn't actually take that long; it was just that it was Yamato's first time traveling far from home, and he wanted to try out anything new and interesting he saw.

Given Luo Xing's doting affection for his wife Yamato, he naturally agreed to everything.

That's why it took so long.

"Is this the land of Wano Country?"

Zoro jumped off the ship, took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up with excitement as he said:

"Even from this distance, I can sense the aura of many powerful beings here, as fierce as wild beasts!"

along the way.

Luo Xing gave Zoro a brief lesson on the use of Haki. Zoro has a strong comprehension ability and has already made some progress in Observation Haki.

That's why he was able to have such a feeling.

Luo Xing smiled slightly: "The Hundred Beasts Gang is full of wild beasts, so you won't lack opponents."

Zoro was even more excited.

Although he consumed the Dragon-level monster cells, he still has many shortcomings that need to be addressed.

He must train desperately and fight against the strong.

One day, I will defeat Hawkeye 537 and become the strongest swordsman!

Behind Zoro are his master, Shimotsuki Koushirou, and Koushirou's father, Kousaburo.

The two hadn't returned to their hometown for over a decade. The moment they stepped onto the territory of Wano Country, their eyes instantly welled up with tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

They were initially unwilling to return, because they had been forced to leave by Kaido and Orochi.

But they couldn't resist Zoro's pleas, and after hearing that Orochi had been killed and that Wano Country had been completely transformed, with its people living in peace and prosperity, they could hardly believe their ears.

Unable to bear it any longer, he decided to return to Wano Country to see for himself.

Upon seeing it, they were completely shocked.

Wano Country has not only been transformed, it has undergone a complete upheaval!

If they hadn't met some elderly people they used to know, they would have thought they had gone to the wrong country!

They were even more shocked to hear that the people of Wano Country were calling Kaido's daughter Yamato "the most beautiful general" and the Beast Prince Consort Luo Xing "young master".

Shimotsuki Kozaburo and Koshiro both fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Kousaburo sighed:

"Even if Lord Oden were alive and became Shogun, Wano Country wouldn't be any better off than it is now."

Koushirou agreed.

Neither of them were retainers of Kozuki Oden, nor did they have any deep personal relationship with Oden himself.
