Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 297 The Roger Pirates Disband, Rayleigh's Choice

The Roger Pirates eventually disbanded, just like in the original timeline.

Roger disembarked at Baterila Island in the South China Sea, while the others disembarked in their respective hometowns or islands they wished to move to.

After sending everyone off the ship, Rayleigh, who had witnessed everyone's fate, ultimately steered the ship to the Academy Island.

"Yo, Kaido, it's been a long time."

Rayleigh greeted him cheerfully, while Kaido looked at him with a strange expression.

"You old codger, what are you doing here? And that ship behind you... has your pirate crew disbanded?"

Kaido scanned the Oro Jackson with his Observation Haki; it was empty, with no other members of the Roger Pirates present.

"Ah~ It's true that we've disbanded. This was Roger's decision. Our adventure is over, so everyone should go home."

Upon hearing this, Kaido's strange expression deepened even further.

"Since we've all gone back to our own homes, what are you doing here? You don't mean you're planning to retire here, do you?"

"Hahahaha..." Rayleigh burst into laughter, then said seriously, "You're right!"

Kaido's lips twitched involuntarily. Although he had a guess in his heart, he did not expect that it was really true.

"You can't expect to get a free meal here!"

"I know!"

Rayleigh pulled out a recruitment flyer for teachers at the Beast Academy.

"I'm here to apply for a teaching position."

After a brief pause, Reilly began to introduce himself like a normal job seeker.

"With my abilities, putting aside other aspects, I should be more than qualified to be a teacher of swordsmanship and Haki!"

"Tsk!"

Rayleigh was right, but...

According to the original timeline, shouldn't you have stayed in the Sabaody Archipelago waiting for Luffy? How did you end up here?

"Where's Jabba? Did he go to Sabaody Archipelago?"

Before Kaido traveled through time, the manga storyline had only progressed to Whole Cake Island, so he knew a lot about the Whole Cake Island plot, especially information about the Five Elders, but he was unaware of information about the Elbaf arc.

Therefore, Kaido was unaware that Jabba from the original timeline was in Elbaf.

However, based on Rayleigh's actions of waiting for Luffy at Sabaody Archipelago,

And Roger was willing to surrender himself in order to start the so-called Age of Exploration.

Jabba probably won't really go into seclusion; he's probably waiting for Luffy and his crew somewhere.

In his previous life, Kaido didn't get information about Jabba's location from the manga, but he did have some guesses about Jabba waiting for Luffy in the New World.

Now, Rayleigh has not gone to the Sabaody Archipelago as he was destined in the original timeline, but has instead come to the Beast Academy in the New World.

So, assuming Jabba is also in the New World, the only guide left for the Roger Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line would be Crocus, who returned to Twin Capes.

"Haha, Jabba!"

Rayleigh gave a mysterious smile.

"He didn't go to Sabaody Archipelago; he went to get married."

"marry?!"

Kaido raised an eyebrow.

"He's getting married too?!"

In this life, Kaido didn't have much contact with the Roger Pirates, but he knew Jabba quite well.

This guy has never hidden his personality.

In short, this guy is a pervert.

He's somewhat like Sanji, but also quite different.

Sanji is the kind of person who has lustful thoughts but lacks the courage to act on them.

Despite his usual flirtatious manner, his tendency to swoon over attractive women, and his constant fawning over them, he is actually quite conservative when it comes to real-life relationships.

When it comes to actually getting him to base, he'll seriously consider things like marriage.

Jabba, on the other hand, was a true veteran.

In the midst of thousands of flowers, the leaves do not stick to the body.

He has abused dozens, if not hundreds, of young girls.

Of course, Jabba wouldn't go so far as to touch a minor. Since both parties were adults and it was consensual, Kaido had nothing to say.

However, Kaido found it hard to believe that such a seasoned womanizer would ever get married.

“Hahahaha…” Rayleigh chuckled. “Well, let’s just say he’s found true love.”

Kaido couldn't help but roll his eyes. This kind of nonsense is just utter rubbish.

"So, after you went to Laugh Tale, you really don't plan to do anything?"

Rayleigh looked at Kaido with a strange expression. "So you knew all along!"

"What do you know?" Kaido sneered. "The legend of Joy Boy? The legend of the sun god Nika?"

"I do know quite a lot, but I can assure you, I know far less than you do."

After all, the Roger Pirates had actually collected all the Poneglyphs, while Kaido's information on this matter was still limited to the part about his contact with his past and present lives.

Rayleigh stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"So, do you want to know what's on the final island?"

"Are you willing to tell me?"

"If you want to know, I have nothing to refuse."

"Hmm, let's skip it."

Kaido smiled.

It's not that he wasn't interested in what Joy Boy left for Luffy.

Rather, he was worried that after learning about what Raphdru had left behind, he would be tempted to intercept it prematurely.

Being able to turn hard mode into easy mode is not a good option for ambitious hardcore gamers.

But if it were to become a reality, the temptation would be really hard to resist.

Take Crocodile as an example. Did he really not know that pursuing the battleship Hades would diminish his will to climb to the top?

Of course he knows!

As a ruthless tyrant who nearly overthrew a nation of tens of millions of people like Alabasta with sheer cunning, he understood the principles no less than those so-called clever people in Kaido's previous life.

but……

He understood it, but the temptation was truly irresistible!

All you need to do is find a ship like that, control it, and you can take down an island with a single shot. Even the World Government would avoid you. Isn't that much easier than painstakingly training your physical body?!

Kaido never considered himself someone who could resist temptation, otherwise he wouldn't have had so many women.

Having already learned that the battleship Pluton is in Wano Country and that the future Sea King is Shirahoshi, Kaido is truly afraid that he might not be able to resist the temptation to learn about what Laugh Tale left behind!

Therefore, rather than constantly suppressing your restless heart after finding out, it's better not to know in the first place.

Just follow your original plan and achieve your goal step by step.

Kaido firmly believed that the experience accumulated by his ancestors over thousands of years was far more reliable than Joy Boy's plan, which had been in preparation for 800 years.

After all, what he wanted was not simply to overthrow the World Government, but to truly unify the pirate world!
