Chapter 5 Bazel: Kaido, I'm giving you a standing ovation, brother!
"Poisonous Flame!"
A massive, overwhelming wave of grayish-purple energy swept in, interspersed with resurrected undead.
Bazel didn't care about Kaido and Whitebeard's lives; if such a simple attack could kill them.
Then he'll return to Marine Headquarters tomorrow and take a few friends to challenge the World Government.
What's the point of becoming the Pirate King? He wants to become the King of the World!
as predicted.
The next moment, a sudden gust of wind and shockwaves shattered the wave of poisonous flames.
The aftershocks of the battle blasted the redeemers away.
"Become my partner!" / "Kid, become my son!"
coming!
This is an easy question!
Bazel, who had transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, flicked his tongue, his eight vertical pupils scanning both sides.
Will I become Kaido's partner, or will I have another father figure?
"Mr. Kaido, you didn't say the owner of that aura was that powerful!"
Jin's blank gaze moved upwards, finally settling on the eight enormous, constantly shaking heads.
"This guy... is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user!!!"
Kaido exclaimed in surprise, and the Whitebeard Pirates weren't in much better shape either.
"Dad! This guy is so cool! It would be so awesome to have a partner like him in the future!"
"That's right, Dad. Marco was already cool after transforming, but this guy is even cooler."
"Be careful, he's much older than Marco, he must be very strong!"
"..."
There are different opinions.
But only Bazel himself knew that after transforming into Yamata no Orochi, his fifty-meter-tall body was not because he was so powerful.
Rather, it was because of twelve years of grueling special training, coupled with the highly nutritious food provided by Sengoku, that his physical strength had already surpassed that of his peers.
In addition, the unique nature of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit allows him to surpass the height of a giant the moment he transforms.
In the future, when my body becomes stronger again, this size might be able to increase even further.
Bazel's towering body slowly shrank as he attempted to transform into a second form similar to Kaido's dragon-man form.
But it ended in failure.
Kaido and Whitebeard also noticed this.
Especially the former.
Kaido's eyes were now glowing green.
What a promising talent!
This can't even be described as good. Judging from the current situation, this guy must have only recently eaten a Devil Fruit.
Otherwise, they should have already learned how to use the human-beast form!
"Hey, my name is Kaido, Kaido of the Beasts Pirates. What's your name?"
Instead of joking around in public with Amazuki, Bazel introduced the situation in a very serious manner.
"My name is Bazel, and she is my partner, Toki Amatsuki."
Tenzuki bowed slightly to the person opposite him in a generous manner: "Hello, nice to meet you all. Please take care of me."
Kaido's gaze lingered for only a moment before shifting back to Bazel.
"Become my partner. I am the Azure Dragon Man who ate the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type: Azure Dragon."
"You must have eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit too, right? I can personally teach you how to develop a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."
"Newgate!"
Before Bazel could agree, Kaido, gripping his spiked club tightly, looked at Whitebeard with a serious expression.
"You know that when it comes to developing Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, you're definitely not as proficient as me."
"Handing this guy over to you will only waste the Devil Fruit he ate. Only my experience can fully unlock its potential!"
Whitebeard did not refute this point.
Indeed, he could offer some pointers if the other party possessed a Paramecia-type or a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
However, the Mythical Beasts are different; the difficulty of developing Mythical Beasts is comparable to that of Nature-type Beasts.
"What does it matter? As long as I'm alive, my sons won't have to fight!"
"Because no one dares to attack the Whitebeard Pirates, hey, Bazel, become my son!"
Kaido also looked at Bazel with a tense expression.
The Beasts Pirates are in the early stages of their formation, and their only trusted confidant, King, has only recently joined.
If Bazel joins, the Beasts Pirates will soon have the strength to challenge the Great Pirates of the New World!
Unlike the nervous Kaido, Bazel remained calm.
Putting aside the fact that he originally planned to join Kaido's Beasts Pirates.
Who wants to have an extra dad when they have nothing better to do?
Even a godfather won't do!
Moreover, Kaido is a future renowned master of the sea.
One blow opens Luffy's meridians, and the other helps the protagonist Luffy awaken Nika.
If he receives more exposure to this, perhaps the Orochi Devil Fruit will awaken in a few days.
It went straight from SSR to SP!
"Joining is no problem, but what about my partners..."
Seeing Bazel's gaze fall on Kaido, Whitebeard knew that the development of Mythical Zoan species ultimately held a significant advantage.
He wasn't the type to force a man into locking him up or throw a tantrum, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"What a failure. My spirit actually lost to Lox's apprentice? Tsk."
"Let's go, you idiot sons, that guy chose the Beasts Pirates."
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates left with Whitebeard, but in the middle of the crowd, Kozuki Oden, lying on a stretcher, suddenly woke up.
"Ugh, I'm so dizzy, Bai Xiaoji, where am I?"
Kozuki Oden!
Bazel narrowed his eyes slightly.
The timing was right, but I still won.
If it were another half day later, it would probably be the scene from the original work where Kozuki Oden unexpectedly saves Amaterasu.
"Oden, you scared us to death! Luckily, Dad noticed you let go, or we would have lost such an important partner!"
"Yes, Oden, how are you feeling now?"
Oden scratched his head and shouted, "Not bad, Bai Xiaoji! Let me join the Whitebeard Pirates!!"
"Stop nagging! I'm just letting you join, stop making such a fuss!"
"Oh!! This is fantastic!!"
After the Whitebeard Pirates had completely left, Kaido walked up to Bazel with a broad smile and bent down.
She casually climbed onto the man's shoulder.
"Hey, Abel, come over here and introduce yourself."
Jin walked over and glanced at Tengetsu: "I am Abel, but I hope you will call me Jin in front of outsiders. I am one of Kaido's subordinates."
"You're my brother, you idiot!"
"We're brothers because we went through all that together! Remember that!"
Kaido vigorously rubbed King's head and nodded slightly towards Tenzuki Toki:
"Since you're Bazel's woman, then join the Beasts Pirates together."
Tianyue Shi's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm not his woman yet!"
"So you're still pursuing her."
Kaido sighed and remarked how wonderful it is to be young. He then released King, bent down, and quietly began to tell Bazel about his life experiences.
"Let me tell you, this is my experience: if you've set your sights on something, you should make your move sooner rather than later. A man should be a little more assertive."
"Back in the day, Lingling and I were a legendary couple on the Rocks ship, if it weren't for the fact that she was nine years older than me."
"Back then, I was too obsessed with becoming strong, otherwise... Sigh! Seeing you all reminds me of my youth."
A hint of melancholy crept into the eyes of Kaido, the mentor in life.
"So you've got three gold bricks too? That's really something." Bazel's eyes lit up.
BRICS?
Kaido didn't understand the meaning of those words and asked out of curiosity.
Without the slightest awkwardness of a first meeting, Bazel pulled Kaido to squat down to the side and explained the meaning of "a woman three years older than her husband is like a golden brick."
"I see!"
Kaido, suddenly realizing what was happening, clenched his left fist and tapped it against his right palm.
"So that's why Lingling kindly gave me that Devil Fruit back in God Valley—she wanted me to avoid struggling for a few years!"
"Damn it, if only I had known back then!!"
As he watched his captain mutter curses under his breath like a country bumpkin, Jin's lips twitched.
"Sorry, you must be laughing at me. Mr. Kaido can be quite unreliable at times."
Perhaps feeling that his words were somewhat insensitive, Jin quickly added something else.
"But most of the time, Mr. Kaido is a very reliable partner!"
"It's alright, I should be the one saying that."
Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, Tian Yue smiled gently:
"It's you guys who are laughing at me, Mr. Bazel."
Little did they know that this subconscious action would cause Kaido, who had his back to them, to give Bazel a thumbs up.
"Looks like you have a chance. Women won't explain themselves for some stranger who has nothing to do with them."
Bazel's lips curled up, a confident gleam flashing across his exposed teeth.
"Ah Shi is such a gentle woman! We've already promised to stay together for life!"
"Bazel-kun!"
Upon hearing this, Tianyue became furious: "I haven't accepted your advances yet, don't talk nonsense!"
"Ooh-ho-ho-ho~~~!"
"Abel, what an interesting couple! Let's go back to the ship for the banquet!"
