I'm A Plunderer In The World Of One Piece. - Chapter 566 566: 566: The Beast’s Resolve

“What a hypocrite, claiming his clone couldn’t defeat me…” Kaido stood aboard the Beasts Pirate Crew’s ship, eyes fixed on the drastically transformed island. Its very geology had been altered, and the lingering battle intent around him pressed down on the surrounding pirates like a tangible weight.

“He didn’t fight me with his full strength!” King, now fully recovered, stepped forward gripping his sword, lowering his voice as he spoke to Kaido. “Brother Kaido, please control your aura. The newer recruits can’t withstand it.”

Kaido eased the oppressive battle intent that had surged from him, though the blaze within him only smoldered brighter. In a low voice he replied, “You fought him, right? How was it?”

“Extremely powerful! His Devil Fruit puts him on the same level as Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji! I even believe the Rumble‑Rumble Fruit ability surpasses theirs!” King’s tone was serious beneath his masked face. “At my strength, I don’t compare to him at all. When Admiral Silver Serpent and I clashed just now, he was toying with me, giving me space to engage for over ten exchanges. If he had used his full power, I would have been overwhelmed within only a few moments — struck by lightning, rendered unconscious, and taken as a prisoner!”

“Only a few rounds?” Kaido murmured, absorbing King’s words.

“I am sorry, Big Brother Kaido,” King said with genuine regret, lowering his helmet. He sounded like a younger brother who had failed to meet his older brother’s expectations. “I’ve let you down.”

“Don’t think like that,” Kaido said firmly as he placed a hand on King’s shoulder. “This man isn’t as simple as he appears. He is not merely an Admiral. He is the Divine King, Shirogai, disguising himself as an Admiral.”

“What! Shirogai!?” King’s eyes narrowed in shock.

He had never expected that the world’s strongest individual would be hidden within the Marines, pretending to be one of their newest Admirals.

“Big Brother Kaido, if Divine King Shirogai is inside the Marines, does he have some grand plan?” King asked.

Kaido’s lips twisted into a sinister grin as he answered, “You might not believe it if I told you. This man said he wanted to test if the Marines had any real purpose. If they did not, he would completely erase them.”

King could barely process it. Destroy the Marines? What an incomprehensible thought! Yet Kaido continued.

“But now he just wants to play with the Marine identity,” Kaido said, his grin widening as he gazed toward the distant, now‑invisible Marine warships. “What a whimsical fellow. The world still believes we Four Emperors are the most terrifying beings, as if chaos follows wherever we go. But compared to him, we are nothing more than animals with our claws and teeth removed. He is the most lawless existence in this world.”

Kill all World Nobles, the tumors of the world! Kaido recalled Shirogai’s words and felt exhilaration rise within him.

Kaido had no doubt about Shirogai’s strength. With his power, such a feat was absolutely achievable.

“Do you want to slaughter the World Nobles together? Don’t worry, you won’t escape. I will call everyone to attack the nation above all others, Mary Geoise,” Kaido murmured, recalling Shirogai’s smiling face. “I look forward to that day.”

A fire ignited in Kaido’s eyes. How could the world not see the twisted truth of this world? Were those like Sengoku and Garp truly trapped in the system without knowing how to break free? The sad part was not being unaware but being unable to change anything.

Strength was respected. The victor was king. The weak were nothing.

Since no one saved Kaido when he was at his weakest, then once he became the butcher, no one should dare to stop him!

“Change this world?” Kaido’s grin turned ferocious, startling his daughter Yamato, who had accidentally glanced his way. She raised her kanabo instinctively, bracing against his sudden aggression.

“That is what an idealist like Shirogai wants to do. I have no interest in that! I just want them to taste the wrath of a revenger!” Kaido’s brutal aura surged without disguise. Memories of the experiments done to him by World Government scientists made his aura even more violent.

“The world claims I, Kaido, am tyrannical and bloodthirsty, yet I have spared countless challengers!” His presence became so overwhelming that many pirates on the ship passed out from shock, while a terrifying aura spread across the surrounding vessels.

“But those calling themselves justice have caused untold tragedies, yet fools praise them, labeling it ‘Justice’? Orororororo!” Kaido’s eyes blazed crimson with battle fervor. “Fools! They deserve death!”

“Big Brother Kaido! Are you all right?!” King called out anxiously.

Kaido’s violent aura abruptly ceased.

“Don’t worry, I’m just excited,” Kaido said, his bloodshot eyes focused on King’s worried mask. Conqueror’s Haki, blood‑red and thick, flickered around him as he laughed proudly. “Finally, someone in this world who is ready to declare war on the vermin who deserve judgment and be drawn into the flames of battle!”

Rumble!

Thunder rolled across the sky.

“Roar!!!” Amidst the blood‑red lightning, Kaido coiled and twisted into the air, transforming into his massive, terrifying blue dragon form.

“This world is ultimately about the survival of the strongest!” Kaido looked disdainfully at Yamato, who resembled a startled beast. “This truth should be clear to everyone. But some fools use institutions like the Marines and ‘justice’ to cover their atrocities, slandering those who resist as evil and pirates.”

“My child, you want to defeat me and reclaim Wano? Very well! Then become stronger. If one day you truly surpass me, stand before me and challenge me. But before that, understand this truth deeply.”

Boom!

Lightning flashed as Kaido’s dragon face loomed near the trembling Yamato. His voice was cold yet resolute.

“On the battlefield, there are no fathers or sons. I can choose not to strike you before you attack me, but once you do, we are no longer father and son — we are mortal enemies.”

“I will not give up on reclaiming Wano!” Yamato trembled with resolve as she glared at Kaido like a cornered beast.

“Hmph, not giving up easily — that’s quite like me,” Kaido sneered before roaring as he soared into the sky. “Send word to the Sky Alliance! They will send engineers to build our own sky island! Oni Island will remain suspended in the sky forever!”

“Oh!” King watched the giant dragon ascending into the clouds with delight. “Sky Alliance technology is a huge advantage.”

As the second‑in‑command of the Beasts Pirates, King understood how coveted Sky Alliance engineering was around the world. Their crew obtaining such technology was likely the result of an agreement between Big Brother Kaido and Divine King Shirogai.

…

“That Kaido always intimidates his daughter,” Shirogai said with a slight smile, having perceived Kaido’s actions through the lightning‑borne information network. He was in the Marine Admiral’s Captain’s quarters, watching Luffy curiously rummage through things.

“But he clearly cannot bring himself to kill his rebellious daughter.”
