I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Ghost Island, inside the castle.

"Oh hehe! You little bastard, what happened to you these past two days?" Kaido looked at the green-haired guy who was drinking alone.

The green algae-headed man didn't say anything, but filled the wine bowl again and drank it all in one gulp.

He was extremely conflicted, because as the Fire Festival was getting closer, the day when Teacher Gai would be offline was not far away. If it weren't for the Yamato incident, he and Teacher Gai would have had some friendship, but not much. So if he was offline, then he would be offline. At most, he would not interfere with the battle between him and Luffy. At most, he would toast him with a glass of wine on his grave, as a way of repaying the friendship they had spent these days together.

But with Yamato's situation, it's different. Although Yamato is a filial son, he can't bear to watch Teacher Kai go offline. Onigashima is not big, and it is right under Kaido's nose. Even if Kaido's observation Haki can't detect him, he can still detect Yamato, but Teacher Kai still chooses not to accept or refuse.

Although the two men continued to fight and drink as usual, they tacitly agreed not to expose the matter. Although no one knew what Teacher Kai was planning, there was no doubt that he had become another stupid father-in-law.

In this complex web of relationships, the green algae-headed emo. First of all, he couldn't confirm that his stupid father-in-law was offline, but it was even more impossible for him to help Teacher Kai. Wouldn't that be the same as getting off the boat? It's not a matter of prioritizing love over friendship. There are also Robin and Nami on the boat...

"Oh! Old loach, what kind of thing are you doing?" The green algae-headed man sighed slightly.

"Huh?" Kaido frowned slightly.

"You have occupied the country of Renhe, so just occupy it. If you want to support a puppet, that's fine too. You can find one with a good reputation and lock him up. But you chose one with a bad reputation and bad character, causing the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. The people are living in poverty and have no food to eat or clothes to wear. Haven't you heard that the righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few? How can you build your empire if you have lost the support of the people?" The green algae-haired man looked up at the sky helplessly.

"Huh?" Kaido was stunned. "Why are you worrying about this? Boy, don't talk nonsense. Everyone knows that Orochi is a despicable villain, but Wano Country has been closed to the outside world for 800 years. I want to occupy Wano Country. I need the support of the people of Wano Country to proceed step by step. Will people with good reputations cooperate with pirates?"

The great conspirator Kaido sneered, "Although Orochi is despicable, he is ambitious and intelligent. He also needs a strong external aid like me. Besides, isn't it good for him to have a bad reputation? What I want is for him to make Wano Country wrathful and resentful. Only then will Yamato be elected as the general in a few days."

"But have you ever thought that in the eyes of the people of Wano Country, Orochi is equal to Kaido? Everything Orochi does is ordered by Kaido!" The green algae-headed man was speechless.

"Kid, have you ever heard that? History is written by the victors. Perhaps in one or two years, the warriors of Wano will rebel and remember that we are thieves who stole their country, but what about ten or twenty years? They will sing our praises just like they worship Orochi today! Doesn't the blank hundred years of history prove this point?"

The green algae-head was silent for a while: "What if you lose?"

"Oh hehe!!" Kaido laughed out loud, as if he had heard a joke: "Just relying on those lingering remnants left by Oden?"

Green Algae Head took a sip of his wine and hesitated for a long time...

"Luffy will help them."

"What about you?" Kaido said with a serious expression.

"I said I wouldn't interfere with your fight."

Kaido didn't take it seriously when he heard this: "Oh hehe! Are you worried that I will kill Straw Hat Boy?"

The green algae-headed man shook his head silently: "Luffy will not lose."

Kaido's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and dark red lightning appeared on his body. "What did you say! Boy, who do you think I am? The Straw Hat kid only took advantage of your victory over the old woman to gain the false title of the Fifth Emperor. How dare a brat like you, still wet behind the ears, be my opponent?"

The green algae-haired man looked at Kaido with an extremely certain look in his eyes: "Why do you think I'm worried about this? Luffy will definitely win, and you..."

Kaido stared at the eyes of the green algae-headed man, his eyes filled with endless anger, but the green algae-headed man's eyes were serious and his expression was calm.

After a while, Kaido suddenly laughed, and his laughter became louder and louder, even laughing to the point of tears: "Oh, hehe! Hehehe..."

The green algae-haired man frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny to know the date of your own death? Or do you think I'm kidding you!? Because you let Orochi do whatever he wants in Wano Country, and now the conflict between you and Luffy is impossible to reconcile! That's why I have a headache!"

"Oh, cluck, cluck!"

"Asshole!" The green algae-haired guy slammed the table and became angry: "I'm not kidding you."

Kaido slowly stopped smiling: "Hehehe... Don't you think you're ridiculous? I really can't understand how someone like you can possess Conqueror's Haki? It's so shameful that you're worrying about such a thing! Roronoa!"

The green algae-headed man was stunned. He knew very well where his domineering color came from.

Kaido took a swig and said, "No one in this ocean can kill me. If I didn't have this awareness, how could I have dominated the New World for so long? Since you said Straw Hat Luffy can win, let him fight!"

The green algae-head remained silent and continued to drink.

"Oh, what else can't you figure out? Isn't it worth looking forward to being able to decide the outcome in a fair fight? If Straw Hat Boy really reaches the level you said, then no matter who dies in the battle, you should be happy for it! What you said makes me look forward to it! Hehehe..."

Kaido then drank voraciously, then squinted at the green algae-headed guy and said, "Kid, your strength is good, but you're missing something."

"Huh?" The green-haired guy raised his eyes slightly, looking unhappy.

"I see hesitation, hesitation, and indecision in you. You don't have the freedom a king should have. You're not even as good as Yamato." Kaido said with disdain: "Yamato knows what she wants. For her own goal, she can even deny her father, me. Do you know what you want?"

"Number one in the world..." The green-haired guy blurted out a few words and then froze.

After leaving Daughter Island... he believed that he could defeat Hawkeye, so he fell silent again.

"Perhaps, I want to see what One Piece is, and what the ending of this world will be."

"Want the answer..." Kaido suddenly kicked over the table and pointed at the green algae-headed man with a mace in his hand: "Then why are you waiting for Straw Hat Luffy! Even if you don't want to be a captain, you should have been determined to defeat me from the first day you arrived at Onigashima! And then snatch the signpost text from me! Instead of drinking alone here!"

“…Luffy needs a decent opponent to become stronger…” The green-haired guy looked a little embarrassed.

You use me as a whetstone, and you want me to be your captain's whetstone.

"If Straw Hat Luffy dares to set foot on Onigashima, I will kill him. Now! Get out of here!" Teacher Kai has never had a student like this before.

Before leaving, Kaido couldn't help but say: "Boy, think carefully about what you want."
