One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 281: Cooperation with Kaido

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xia and the others walked out of the conference room one by one and came outside.

However, three of them were accompanying Rorschach on his way to G5 prison.

This time, Rorschach's goal wasn't to torture Kaido, but to trick him.

After all, although Kaido couldn't defeat so many of them working together, his individual strength was still considerable.

Rorschach and the three of them quickly arrived at G5 prison.

Upon entering the cell where Kaido was imprisoned, one could see that Kaido, despite being covered in chains, still exuded a powerful aura.

Most of the wounds on his body were from Roger's slashing. Apart from some of the deeper wounds that were still bleeding, the other minor ones had already healed.

Luo Xia smiled and said, "Kaido, we're not here to fight today." Kaido snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Rorschach continued, "As the governor of the Beasts Pirates, and with your considerable strength, why not join my G5 branch?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido's eyes widened, as if he were looking at a fool.

A short while later, Kaido chuckled and then looked at Garp beside Rorschach, "Garp, is there no one else in your Navy?"

"How could there be an idiot mixed up in the navy?"

Rorschach wasn't annoyed, still smiling. "Kaido, don't be so quick to refuse. You're locked up here, never to get out, only slowly decaying. Follow me, and you'll not only regain your freedom, but you can also fully display your strength. Besides, my target is the World Government!"

Kaido was slightly moved, but still stubbornly said, "Hmph, who knows if you're lying to me? Once we get out, you'll definitely gang up on me."

"Besides, I've been to Impel Down countless times, and I've also provoked the Marine Headquarters dozens, if not hundreds, of times. How could I, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, be bound by your little prison?"

However, Rorschach suddenly spoke up: "Kaido, I am a man of my word, and look, with my current strength in G5, I don't need to resort to such methods to deal with you."

"Take a look at these two behind me. Do they look familiar?"

Kaido looked up and saw Roger and Whitebeard sitting on the prison floor, smiling at him as if they were his bodyguards.

Kaido's eyes widened. Only now, separated by a wall in the prison, did Kaido realize that Roger and Whitebeard were indeed the ones who had attacked him earlier.

Kaido glanced at the two men and asked in a low voice, "Roger? And that old bastard Whitebeard, aren't they both dead?"

Why are you still alive?

How did you do that?

Luo Xia crossed his arms, his face full of confidence. "You don't need to worry about that. All you need to know is that from now on, the two of them have gone from being dead to being alive."

Kaido scoffed, "So what? You resurrected that old bastard Whitebeard, which makes you my enemy? You want me to join your Marines? What a joke!"

Luo Xia's face darkened. This Kaido really is refusing to listen to reason and is asking for trouble!

I've spoken to him so politely, yet he remains so stubborn.

Suddenly, Whitebeard glared at Kaido and cursed, "Damn it, I think you want to taste the power of my fists."

"You still haven't joined? Do you even know what Luo Xia is planning to do next?"

Kaido scoffed at Whitebeard, "Hmph, whatever he does is none of my business. I don't want to be controlled by the Navy."

"Even though I'm locked up here by him, it doesn't matter. Do you think my underlings are just for show?"

Rorschach raised an eyebrow and said, "Kaido, you think joining me is just about becoming a Marine? You're wrong. My G5 branch will be independent of the Marine system. We have a common enemy—the World Government. If you join, the benefits here will be far greater than if you were a pirate."

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Kaido's eyes.

Kaido was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If I join, can you guarantee my status and freedom? And what about my men?"

Rorschach laughed loudly: "Of course, your people can also join us, and we can fight against the World Government together."

Kaido finally relented: "Alright, then I'll trust you this once. But if I find out you've deceived me in any way, I'll risk my life to drag you all down with me." Rorschach nodded in satisfaction, and just like that, the two sides, who were originally irreconcilable enemies, reached a cooperation agreement.

Seeing this, Rorschach grinned, snapped his fingers, and the next second, the wounded Kaido was teleported directly in front of him.

Rorschach only glanced at Kaido's injuries to get a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Soon, Rorschach had a bottle of emerald green liquid in his hand.

Rorschach expertly opened the bottle, and a fresh scent wafted through the prison.

Rorschach ignored Kaido's reaction and poured the medicine on Kaido's body, especially on the deeper wounds.

A miraculous thing happened: Kaido's wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kaido stretched his body in surprise, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease. His gaze towards Rorschach held a complex mix of gratitude and confusion.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Kaido couldn't help but ask.

Luo Xia smiled mysteriously, "This is a healing elixir that I developed exclusively. As long as you follow me, I can resurrect you even if you die."

Kaido was greatly shocked by Rorschach's words. But he still refused to admit defeat, saying, "Hmph, I hope you're not just bragging."

Rorschach didn't care.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the prison.

Rorschach frowned and activated his Observation Haki. In the blink of an eye, he knew the gist of the matter: it turned out that King and Queen had gotten into a fight, and the two were acting particularly arrogantly.

Rorschach said to Kaido expressionlessly, "Your subordinates are really restless."

Kaido didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the source of the sound.

Rorschach and the others followed closely behind.

Upon seeing Kaido arrive, King and Queen ceased their fighting and bowed their heads respectfully.

Kaido scolded, "Fools, we have now reached an agreement with this Marine. You must not be so rude anymore."

Jhin and Quinn were shocked, finding it hard to believe that their boss was actually cooperating with the Navy.

Quinn muttered, "Boss, is this a trap?"

Kaido glared at him fiercely. "Stop talking nonsense. I personally agreed to this. How could it be false?"

"Moreover, I think it would be quite interesting to fight the World Government together, so of course we'd want to give it a try. It's much more fun than suicide."
