Chapter 51 Aftermath and Transformation
Chapter 51 Aftermath and Transformation
"Kaido! You bastard! You almost killed Selene just now!!"
As the aftershocks subsided, Charlotte Linlin's furious roar echoed through the air.
Kaido descended from the sky, glanced at the unconscious Selene, a look of guilt on his face, and offered no rebuttal.
"I'm sorry, this was my mistake."
Charlotte Linlin glared at him, annoyed.
"This will not be allowed to happen again!!"
Kaido nodded solemnly, "This is a one-time exception!!"
Actually, he didn't notice Selene when he jumped up earlier.
After all, his opponent was Garin.
A man who could fight Whitebeard head-on without being at a disadvantage, and who also participated in the siege of Rocks and ultimately survived.
Kaido's attention was entirely focused on preventing any potential follow-up attacks from Karin, leaving him with little energy to pay attention to the changes around him.
It wasn't until he reached the highest point and completed the full charge of the battle that he saw the complete panorama of the battlefield.
He originally intended to hold back his power at this moment.
But then she saw Charlotte Linlin standing not far from Selene.
He believed that Charlotte Linlin would protect Selene. At worst, Garin would be seriously injured if he took a full-force attack from him, and the aftershocks of the attack would not harm Selene at all. That's why he threw that punch.
Who knew that the Warring States would suddenly intervene, almost causing a tragedy.
Looking back now, it's really quite frightening.
"Captain Kaido!!"
Longbread and Sunny ran over to meet them.
"Is Selene alright?"
Charlotte Linlin shook her head slightly.
"It's nothing, I was just stunned by Conqueror's Haki."
On the other side, Zephyr also came to Sengoku's side, and the two of them protected the now weakened Garin together.
"Uro ro ro ro..."
Kaido stepped forward and asked, "Shall we continue fighting?"
Karin glared at Kaido with resentment in his eyes.
He had already considered giving in when Selene ran past him.
After all, even if Selene returns to the Holy Land now, she can never regain her former status and position.
Moreover, Kaido, that bastard, although he makes him very unhappy, his strength is undeniable.
He considered that his attack was only slightly inferior to Rocks's Overlord technique, but Kaido managed to heal his wound in just a few seconds.
Even Garin was quite impressed by this level of defense and recovery.
but……
Kaido's punch, disregarding Selene's safety, instantly reignited the anger that had been almost subsiding in Karin.
"Fight! We have to fight!!"
Garin roared, "Kaido! You bastard! You almost killed Selene! This time I'll kill you!!"
"Ugh... Kill me? Do you even have the strength left?!"
A hint of guilt flickered in Kaido's laughter.
Actually, if Sengoku hadn't protected Karin, nothing would have happened.
But now that the accident has happened, Garin's insults are perfectly valid.
Kaido certainly wouldn't place all the blame on Sengoku.
So after a brief moment of thought, he took out a roasted sea beast from his system inventory and smashed it onto the ice with a bang.
"We've been playing all day, and we're all starving. Want to grab something to eat and get some energy back?"
Upon hearing this, Garin's face darkened. "Are you trying to curry favor with me?!"
"Um, no, I'm just hungry and wanted to ask you."
Guh~~~
Kaido's stomach rumbled at just the right moment, as did Charlotte Linlin's.
"Mommy, now you're right! I haven't eaten all day, Kaido, I want some cake!"
Kaido casually waved his hand, and a huge cream cake was taken out of his system inventory.
This is a cake made from long bread, which Kaido always carries with him. It was originally intended to guard against Charlotte Linlin's possible food cravings, but now it's just what he needs as emergency rations.
Charlotte Linlin wielded her greatsword, using its aura to slice the cake, then grabbed a piece and began to enjoy it.
Sengoku and Zefu looked at each other, somewhat at a loss, upon seeing this scene.
What to do next?
Are we going to be like that bastard Garp, shamelessly throwing parties with pirates?
Guh~~~
Garin's stomach let out a rumbling sound, much to his dismay.
He genuinely wanted to righteously and firmly refuse Kaido.
But smelling the fragrance wafting in the air.
Kaido then pulled out several more barrels of wine, lifted the lids, and the aroma of wine filled the air.
"Damn it, might as well eat it! After I'm full, I'll tear you bastard to pieces!!"
Having regained some strength, he stepped between Sengoku and Zephyr, brandishing his long sword, cut a large piece of meat from the roasted sea beast, caught it, opened his mouth, and tore into it, enjoying it immensely.
Turning around, sheathing his sword, he caught the wine cup Kaido threw to him, scooped a full cup from the wine barrel, and drank it down in one gulp.
Exhaling a breath reeking of alcohol, Garin remarked with a hint of disdain, "The meat is so-so, the alcohol is alright, barely edible."
"Hmm, just emergency rations."
Kaido reached out and tore off a large piece of meat from the roasted sea monster, throwing it towards Zephyr.
"Aren't you going to come and eat with us?"
Zefa took the grilled meat, hesitating slightly, because Sengoku had not been invited.
Just then, Garin shouted angrily, "Let him stand there!"
Selene almost died just now, and Sengoku also bears some responsibility for that.
However, considering that Sengoku was doing this to protect him, Karin didn't intend to delve too deeply into it.
But... after all, she almost killed his own sister, so Sengoku should just accept his slight resentment.
Upon hearing this, Zephyr glanced at Sengoku with a hint of sympathy before joining the banquet.
Extremely far away.
The sailors on the warship watched this dramatic scene with awe and admiration.
"As expected, the generals of the Warring States period were the most upright and incorruptible..."
Behind them, the two adjutants who knew the truth through their Observation Haki remained silent, only sighing inwardly.
'Hopefully, the Sengoku general won't be targeted by Korin in the future...'
The center of the battlefield.
Although the banquet was being held, the atmosphere here remained somber and oppressive.
"Where...am I?"
Selene, who was sleeping on Zeus's back, slowly awoke.
With a gentle sniff of her delicate, upturned nose, she detected the aromas of meat, wine, and cake.
"This smell...is it from a banquet?"
Selene sat up from Zeus's back and turned to observe her surroundings.
The golden Buddha still stands, its brilliant golden light illuminating everything.
Not far from the golden Buddha, a banquet was being held.
"Brother? Kaido? You two are actually sitting together having a banquet?"
Selene's beautiful eyes widened.
Although in her eyes the two sides were still sitting separately, they were indeed eating together.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
He got up, jumped off Zeus's back, and quickly walked over to the group.
"You two have made up?!"
"Make up my ass!!"
Garin opened his mouth and took a big bite out of the roasted meat.
"Do you even know what happened?! That bastard Kaido almost killed you just now!!"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Garin quickly told Selene everything that had just happened.
After listening, Selene finally recalled everything that had happened before she fell into a coma.
Then, she spoke with a smile:
"Brother, you're overthinking it. Sister Linlin was right next to me just now. Kaido trusts that Sister Linlin can protect me, not that he doesn't care about my life or death."
"You're still speaking well of him even now?!"
Garin's eyes widened, and his anger was about to surge again.
Seeing this, Selene quickly stepped forward and supported his arm.
"Don't be angry anymore, brother. Look, I'm perfectly fine now."
"Moreover, the battlefield is chaotic, and anything can happen..."
"What do you mean by that?" Garin's tone rose. "Are you hoping for some kind of accident to happen to you?!"
No~~
Selene acted coquettishly for a while, then took the golden greatsword off her back, drew it from its sheath, and showed it to Garin.
"Brother, look! This is a gift from Kaido!"
"If he truly didn't care about me, why would he have been willing to give me this Mephistopheles?"
Garin took the Morpheus and examined it carefully, a look of shock gradually appearing in his eyes.
"It really is Mephisto! The legendary pure gold sword that grants immortality!"
As soon as he said that, Garin looked at Kaido and Charlotte Linlin with a wary expression.
But the latter two didn't react at all, clearly indicating that they already knew the story of the sword.
"This really came from Kaido?!"
Garin asked Selene with some disbelief.
"certainly!!"
Selene raised her head with a touch of pride.
"And even after he knew that this sword could grant immortality, he still decided to give it to me as a gift!"
Upon hearing this, Garin was truly unsure.
Kaido seems to treat his sister... quite well?
