Chapter 57 Scheming (Part 1)
Flower Capital, inside the general's mansion.
Kaido held a wine gourd in one hand and read the latest newspaper in the other.
"Huh?" He suddenly saw an interesting report.
The above report is about the legendary Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters. The hero Garp led his men to invade the Hive Island, the headquarters of Four Emperors Blackbeard. In order to rescue the captured men, Garp did not hesitate to challenge all the imperial cadres including Blackbeard alone. In the end, his men succeeded. He was rescued and escaped, but Garp himself was seriously injured and captured, and his life or death is unknown.
Kaido smiled sinisterly and said: "That guy Blackbeard is quite good at it! Not only did he sway the old man Whitebeard in the war two years ago, but even Garp, an old bastard with strange power, fell into his hands! Although he can bully the minority with more, It’s so glorious, but this is war! Only the winner can have the right to speak!”
He let out a long breath of alcohol, raised his head and said: "Roger, Whitebeard, Garp, these heroes who once sailed the sea have all left! There is no place for them on the sea in the new era!"
"Now is my time!"
In today's sea, he simply looks down upon Blackbeard, who rose to power through conspiracy and trickery. He believes that in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are in vain!
As for his ally Charlotte. Linlin, he originally valued her somewhat, but after the defeat on Onigashima, he also found that she was already old and weak.
Among the Four Emperors today, the only one who can catch Kaido's eyes is the red-haired one who has worked his way up to the top. He has a lot of shadows of Roger when he was young, but he just thinks he is good. He thinks that even today's red-haired ones are better than others. Roger is even worse than Roger in his heyday.
As for Shichibukai and Supernova, he didn't take them seriously. No matter how powerful these small pirate groups were, they had no capital to compete with him.
Thinking of this, Kaido looked down at the report again and suddenly found a familiar name.
"It's quite surprising that Kuzan would defect to Blackbeard. He is one of the few strong men in Marine! In order to surrender to the pirates, would he not hesitate to attack his former mentor?"
He took a sip of wine with great interest and said with a smile: "A person who believed so firmly in justice suddenly fell so completely that even a fool can see that he has an agenda!"
"It's just that Blackbeard is also good at deceiving! I'm afraid it's hard to hide this trick from him! It's quite interesting that these two use each other and act out each other!"
Kaido, who looks rough and bold on the outside, is actually a strategic pirate with many strategies. He used Orochi to deal with Oden and capture Wanokuni, and also used some strategies. Although it may not be very clever in the eyes of others, it is more than enough to deal with the simple and straightforward Oden.
He easily made a judgment based on only one report and his understanding of the two, and said lightly: "I just don't know which of these two will achieve the goal first!"
After reading the only report that interested him, Kaido threw the newspaper aside, then stood up, wandered a few steps and left.
——————
In the Capital of Flowers, there is a secret attic where the criminal Nico Robin is imprisoned.
Since Robin was imprisoned here, he has been guarded as a prisoner with the highest level of importance. There are sentries and patrolling soldiers in various corridors around the area. There are even beasts in the buildings on the nearby streets that keep a secret eye on this place. group members.
This shows how much the Beasts Pirates value her.
And after she declared her surrender to Kaido and cooperated, she received extremely high standards of treatment, including fine clothing and fine food, and everything she asked for was accepted.
The only thing was that she was not allowed to leave the room, let alone have any contact with the outside world, and there was no freedom at all.
The beast soldiers who guarded her were both surveillance and protection.
After all, this is an important figure that the whole world wants.
Robin's room is filled with stacks of paper and brushes and ink.
The three huge sheets of paper with strange words printed on them hung on the screen directly in front of them were exactly the historical text of the road signs that even the Four Emperors pirates were eager for.
In addition to the two copies confiscated from the Straw Hat Crew, there is also a copy of the historical text in the hands of Beasts Pirates, which was also rubbed and brought here.
Robin's task is to stay in this room, translate these three historical texts word for word, and copy them onto paper.
In the past, Black Maria from Flying Sixth Cell would often come over to check on her work progress, and also give her some innocuous punishment lessons. After all, the pain and humiliation she caused herself during the Onigashima War was still vivid in her mind.
When Jhin entrusted Nicole Robin to her to discipline and persuade, Black Maria happily accepted it. According to her own words, "It is a woman's nature to hold grudges!"
Compared to the cunning and scheming Robin, the mature and wise Black Maria is equally difficult to deceive. The two sophisticated women have also staged a wonderful psychological game.
At this time, Black Maria has not returned from the sea, and the care of Robin falls on other real cadres, but they obviously cannot deal with her and are easily fooled.
However, it was none other than Kaido himself who came today.
When Robin saw this huge and burly body for the first time, he immediately recalled the terrifying figure of the opponent in the Onigashima battle that swept through everything and fought bloody battles, as well as the terrifying scene of powerful partners falling under the opponent's mace one after another.
She rarely encounters demons who can give her a taste of true despair and powerlessness, and the Kaido in front of her is obviously one of them.
For a moment, Robin's pupils trembled, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Kaido came here today on a whim and couldn't find any subordinates to talk to, so he came here specifically to meet this world-famous scholar to see what was so special about her.
Seeing the other party's unconcealed fear, Kaido couldn't help but smile and said: "Oh, do you see me so scared? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Robin's pupils shrank, he took a deep breath, and instantly regained his composure. He said calmly, "No, I'm just surprised that the Four Emperors pirates actually came to this remote house in person!"
Kaido smiled and said: "Oh haha, it depends on who lives in the house! It's not too much to put someone as important as you in front of me! It's a pity that my place is messy and not suitable for your elegance. The woman works and lives there!”
Robin completely ignored the other party's teasing and continued calmly: "Did the Governor come here in person to inspect the work today?"
"That's the job of my subordinates, Laozi doesn't have that leisure time!"
Kaido walked to the screen with a wine gourd and carefully studied the three historical texts in front of him. A proud look appeared on his face and he said: "One person has three historical texts of road signs. Plus you are the only one in the world. An archaeologist, it seems that I have the throne of the Pirate King within easy reach, don’t you think so?”
