The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The survivors of the God Valley battle have an unwavering belief in the authenticity of the conversation between Im and Joy Boy.

Because they were witnesses to that hellish experience, survivors of the clash of forbidden forces.

In God Valley, Kaido and Linlin put aside all their differences and scheming, and joined forces in a rare instance, pouring all their life's strength into a single, decisive blow.

The target was Satan Saint, who, after being possessed, possessed a strange aura that sent shivers down one's spine, or rather, Im, who was manipulating his body.

Unfortunately, the effort ultimately failed.

What Im has demonstrated is a terrifying regeneration and existence that transcends the concept of immortality and is unimaginable to mortals.

The combined attack, powerful enough to tear the island apart, was effective, but Im quickly returned to its original state; the weak's attacks on the strong are futile.

The deeper nightmare is Captain Rocks's fate.

That monster, so powerful it inspired despair and whose ambition devoured heaven and earth, couldn't even last a few rounds in a direct confrontation with Im.

Finally, to the utter horror of Kaido and his crew, their revered captain was reduced to a grotesque, inhuman creature.

It was a blasphemy against existence itself that transcended physical destruction; even a dignified death in battle became a luxury.

As for the others, at the moment when Lox's consciousness was extinguished, all their ambition and greed turned into the purest instinct to escape.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least avoid them?

They scattered like birds and beasts, running away as the best they could!

When Kaido recalled Rocks's final, distorted state, even a tough guy like him couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sorrow.

Unexpectedly, even a powerful captain like Captain Rocks met such a miserable end.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Beasts Pirates have rarely taken the initiative to confront the World Government in recent years, and have only fought the Navy to a standstill.

Because he knew that behind the World Government stood Im, a name that represented a power that could not be measured by common sense.

Therefore, most of the sea stone mines that the Beasts Pirates mined in Wano Country were sold to the World Government in cooperation with them, and the amount of money exchanged between the two parties was huge.

The World Government and the Navy's demand for Seastone is increasing day by day. Kaido and his underlings, who own Wano Country, a gold mine, have no worries about money. To some extent, this is also a tacit understanding of peaceful coexistence.

At that moment, when Kaido saw the person inside Luffy say in that unfamiliar tone, "I am just a part of his god," through the broadcast screen, he was deeply moved.

He sat in front of the broadcast screen in the main hall of Ghost Island, his massive body resembling a mountain in the shadows.

"so……"

He muttered to himself in a low voice, his tone deep and resonant, "I gained a portion of Nika's power, and Garp's grandson also gained a portion."

"The things in this world are truly wondrous."

A complex and unfathomable light flashed in his eyes, a mixture of realization, apprehension, and a long-suppressed fighting spirit being stirred up.

Soon, the black-clad Maria sitting next to him keenly sensed a subtle change in the man's aura.

Visible white steam began to rise from Kaido's imposing body.

A white cloud of flames, remarkably similar to the ribbons trailing behind Luffy but even more rugged and domineering, slowly gathered and drifted behind him.

This is the outward manifestation of his development of his fruit ability to the awakened state.

However, his body color did not turn completely white like Luffy's; he still retained his blue scales and original skin color, which was completely different from Luffy's pure Nika form.

This seems to confirm his claim that he only gained a portion of the power.

"Then what about the portion of Nika that I control..."

Kaido clenched his massive fist, capable of crushing mountains, feeling the overwhelming surge of domineering power within him. "Which part is it this time?"

The special Haki he named Polar Day far surpassed his mastery of Conqueror's Haki in terms of pure destructive power.

More importantly, the Polar Day Aura also possesses an amazing ability to repair itself and resist damage. This is a top-tier application of Aura that he had never heard of before, and it is his biggest trump card after his transformation.

A question that had been suppressed for many years resurfaced in Kaido's mind, and became even more intense due to his growing power.

Do I now have the right to truly confront Im, who lurks in the shadows?

Could he be even slightly better than Captain Rocks back then?

This question had always lingered in the mind of the king of beasts.

If it weren't for the fact that Im's abilities were so bizarre, he would have long since stopped causing trouble only in Onigashima and Wano Country.

Who would complain about having too little space?

That shadow was a deterrent that loomed over the ambitions of all the top powerhouses. Kaido also wanted to accomplish the great feat that Rocks had failed to achieve, to defeat Im and trample the gods underfoot.

Linlin, also a survivor of God Valley, didn't have many thoughts about Joy Boy himself; she was more concerned about Luffy as a person.

In the woman's mind, a more pragmatic and even utilitarian thought was swirling: since they were all pirates, should they introduce Luffy to a daughter?

Let them get married and have children?

The powerful offspring born will not only consolidate the rule of Whole Cake Island, but also, since the daughter's descendants also carry a part of her bloodline, they will naturally belong to the Whole Cake Island family and can hold important positions in the future.

Within the Big Mom Pirates, important positions must be held by children who are related to Big Mom by blood. Their intertwined lives and the resulting family are the foundation of Whole Cake Island's current state.

As for incorporating the entire Straw Hat Pirates, Linlin has already given up on the idea; the risks and rewards are not proportional.

This kind of maverick behavior, coupled with the ancient will of Joy Boy, is really not suitable for keeping at home.

Luffy himself is not a fortune, but a bomb that could bring about devastating disaster at any time. Linlin does not want to attract the siege of the World Government.

But stealing a little bloodline and quietly taking advantage of someone shouldn't be a problem, right?

As a woman who isn't petty, Lingling wouldn't mind marrying a naval hero. His grandson would be paired with her daughter, and Garp wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

A calculating smile crept across Lingling's lips.

Her gaze pierced through the screen, as if she were examining a priceless treasure, pondering how to properly incorporate it into her family's bloodline treasury.

While Luffy is still young, we should try to pass on as much bloodline to him as possible. Maybe he can produce offspring with Conqueror's Haki, which would be a rare boost for foreign countries.

But right now there's a very crucial problem: how to get Luffy into the wedding bed?
