Even when faced with the emotionally driven Kurotan Chan, Baili Xiao managed to remain calm. He gestured for Kurotan Chan to calm down before speaking:
"This is news from the Imperial Court ninjas, who were previously sent to the 'Beast Pirates' to gather intelligence. No, it should be said that it's news from former Imperial Court ninjas. He seems to have joined Mr. Cade now. He provided specific information about the mainland and plans to take Mr. Cade there."
"Haha!!! What's going on?! Hey! Fushou, what are you doing?! Why does the imperial court always rebel?! Snake! Don't eat it! Think about it!"
"terribly sorry."
"No, Mr. Cicada."
I got it from the waiter. It was a porcelain plate filled with fruit. I cut it in two with a bamboo knife and put one part in my mouth. Suddenly, the sweet essence of cantaloupe, watermelon, apple, mango, and other fruits overflowed into my mouth and I swallowed it.
Not only does it feel incredibly smooth down the esophagus, but the nasal cavity also fills with an unparalleled fruity aroma, leaving even the brain in awe – an unforgettable taste.
"Compared to that, Mr. Higurashi, please come and enjoy this rare delicacy."
However, this mutton soup is made with sweet fruits from a place called "Earth Fruit Shop," and the fruit chefs in our Black Charcoal City are very skilled.
"Eh!!! Do you even feel like saying that at a time like this?! Wow, wow! It's an unparalleled taste! My whole body, my whole body, is melting in the incredible sweetness of the fruit."
"That's not how it is. I just received the message from the Kazekage, who was the last ninja of the Imperial Court. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just worried about what Mr. Cade will do if he comes. Since we're up, let's be positive."
"Eh!!! What a subtle description! A snake! This is betrayal!"
Baili Xiao reluctantly put down the porcelain plate, stood up, and slowly walked to the outdoor corridor.
At this time, the first official of Ibuki Taisha, the snake, was wearing a traditional black robe.
Indeed, it was a face that didn't deserve any special praise.
Although it is 8 feet tall, it is not a strong body in the vast ocean. Only the snake-like braid on the back of its head can leave a vivid impression.
"Hey, do you think this country is still a vast ocean of resources? Are there more smart people or more people with bad brains?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Snake, are you trying to say that Feng Ying is a stupid man?"
"No, those who pass the imperial review and are promoted to the rank of Feng Ying through the tiered selection process of 'The Immortal Army' are the wise ones in this regard."
"Haha!!! You mean betraying us and joining Kaido was the right thing to do?"
"Hehe, of course that's not what I meant, Mr. Chan."
After emerging from the black coal mine, more and more followers followed behind them.
Baili Xiao also slowed down, and Heitan Chan, who was a step behind, explained.
"It was precisely because he was a smart man that Feng Ying and other smart people were attracted to Mr. Cade's appearance. Although impulsive, the daring and unplanned Cade often got himself into trouble."
But on this vast and turbulent sea, it is this courage that is most captivating. Kaido's actions may stem from this very thought.
"Eh!!! So that 'Beast' Kaido deliberately acted that reckless way?!"
No, he might also be using his brain to some extent.
After walking for a while, Baili Xiao arrived alone at the top of the cherry blossom tree above the former Zuowu City, which is now Heitan City. His attendants and Heitan Muchan were waiting in the ruins of Guangyue City at Baili Xiao's instruction.
Looking out into the distance in his hunting robe, he saw nothing on the sea.
Chapter 0319 Only Life
However, Baili Xiao could clearly "hear" that the powerful sounds of previous landings were approaching the mainland from the Jiuli coast.
The ripples caused by the rapid movement of the sound had already been captured by Baili Xiao, who was skilled in sight and hearing.
Aside from the silly princess, this is the first time I've seen accounts of maritime heroes from these eras. Heart racing? That's an accurate description.
“Mr. Big Black, then I entrust my footing and my life to you.”
"I am willing to serve Lord Baili Xiao, and then die in battle!"
As mentioned above, the mainland is an island nation situated in an island basin whose topography is even larger than the sea surface. Surrounded by inland seas and separated from the open ocean by massive waterfalls and vast tidal waters, the mainland truly possesses the most outstanding geographical defensive advantages in the world, second only to the Mariana Islands, the highest peak on the red earth continent.
Throughout known human history, the homeland known as the "Land of Samurai 04" has never been defeated by any foreign power.
However, since modern times, this country has faced unprecedented threats.
The enemy can launch large-scale attacks from any angle above the aircraft, making them an incomprehensible aggressor to the natives who have been accustomed to fighting in a two-dimensional world for many years.
This is a Devil Fruit ability of a top-tier Devil Fruit that rarely appears in this sea. In the latter half of the "New World" legend of Shakugan no Sakura, one of the three legendary pirates, "Golden Lion" Skipper, is a superhuman with the ability of the Flutter-Flutter Fruit.
He also served as a fleet commander for a long time in Rox the Pirates.
I don't know where I got the country's permanent guide, or how I feel, but I didn't inform anyone else.
Proud flying pirates, accompanied by sky islands, invaded the peaceful land.
It is said that when the lion cub landed on the coast of Houling Township, it caused a great disturbance in Houling at the time. It angrily withdrew and took away the means of production with many people behind Houling.
It can be said to be the only record-breaking invasion of Kazuo in modern times, but right after this event, Kazuo's famous swordsmith Kazuo Shuang and his disciples disappeared.
Some believe he was also captured by the invading pirates, but Baili Xiao knows they left the peaceful land for reasons unknown. Later, after these bells rang, members of the Frostmoon family crossed the ocean to the most famous East Sea, built the town of Frostmoon Village, and eventually raised descendants who could potentially become the "Number One Swordsman in the World."
This so-called samurai nation has its own unique national conditions. Even after a major pirate invasion, it remains as powerful as ever. If Baili Xiao hadn't found the record in the archives of Guangyue City...
They probably forgot about such trivial matters before Kozuki Castle's birthday.
However, it is evident that the level of the Civilian air defense system is so low that they have never even heard of the term "air defense."
However, don't blame the previous generals for their shortsightedness. Most of the time, we've never heard of attacks starting from the air.
Even in this sea, only the ancient and powerful nation of Alabasta has passed down the evils through generations using ancient techniques, in the form of animal series, bird fruits, common species, and falcons.
Only the people on the floating islands have mastered the methods of aerial combat.
However, in modern times, various flight abilities have emerged. Currently, only in the remote corner of the island, besides possessing the superhuman ability to write with fruit, is Kanjuro Kurozumi able to carry a bird into the air.
In addition, it possesses the ability to write about animal forms, common species, and the crested ibis fruit. Big Black acquired this ability from Kaido and can fly freely.
In the vast open sea, the Golden Lion, the aunt who can manipulate thunderclouds and the sun to fly through the sky, possesses the highest maneuverability and strategic value in flight.
The Whitebeard Pirates crew members possess beast-like abilities even rarer than natural systems, including beast, bird, fruit, beast, and fairy bird forms, as well as the fairy bird Marco.
Now, on the other side of the horizon, Mount Dai is filled with stars, and enormous creatures from the fiery clouds are climbing upwards, forming the clouds themselves. These are the "most powerful creatures in the world," capable of space travel.
On the night the Rox Pirates were captured, the great pirate "Kade of the Beasts," who was donated to the Zoan system, fish and fish fruits, mythical beasts and fruits by "Auntie" in the form of a green dragon, was a great pirate.
Until recently, Cade's figures were truly astonishing. The dragon, hundreds of feet below, moved up and down 453 times in a fiery cloud of flames, seemingly leaping along curves, but at an incredibly fast speed.
Its head resembles a camel's, its antlers a deer's, its eyes a rabbit's, its ears a cow's, its neck a snake's, its belly a stork's, its scales a carp's, its claws an eagle's, and its hands a tiger's.
Its entire body was covered with stones and blue scales that made the stones make a sound, and the black mane on its back and back danced like flames as it moved.
A "beast" with vision as masterful as Kaido, reaching the level of "foresight," must have discovered the warrior standing in the center of the flight path, atop an unknown bird.
If they were to meet on the high seas, the eager-to-find Cade might have the instinct to speak with the rare warriors who remained.
But now, it's quite common to encounter one or two warriors on the way to the Kingdom of Warriors.
Kaido and the "Flying Thieves" led by Golden Lion had just ended a low-intensity tug-of-war and, after accepting the former court's loyalty to the homeland, learned the specific information about the homeland now.
It can be said that the local population today has been hollowed out by Heitan Baili Xiao, who has emptied the bodies of the noble families, the spirit of the samurai class, and the lives of the common people.
Chapter 0320 The Perfect Way
Currently, only the Black Charcoal Serpent can be considered to be on the same level as the Ashes.
I felt deeply that I was blocked from acquiring top-tier weaponry by the country that had taken me in, a country that seemed like a sick man in the new world, and I couldn't even take over the old lion's territory. Fueled by alcohol, I came alone. The country.
At this point, Kad's judgment had certainly declined considerably. Or rather, he didn't want to play the "three visits" game. Unlike the original historical trajectory, Kad now lacked a base with monopolistic industries and excellent military resources, unlike China.
Many pirate forces of the same period had already reached an initial scale.
Pirate tribes of the past, such as "Auntie," had already taken shape. Although legendary pirates like "Whitebeard" and "Golden Lion" did not have fixed bases, their vast territories were simply due to the astronomical annual fees for renting their flags.
Today, the source of income for Cade's "Beast Thieves" is actually similar to that of the "Roger Pirates," one of the three legendary pirates, who made a living by plundering merchant ships and attacking ports at sea.
Unlike Roger, Kaido harbored greater ambitions, dreaming of instigating a global war. To realize his dream, Kaido needed to recruit more pirates and desperately required a base and a steady stream of pirates to generate substantial profits.
Looking at the new world at this time, the country that best meets the requirements of "Beast Thief" and is the easiest to obtain is the homeland known as the "Land of Warriors", which has first-class maritime technology and monopolizes the world's largest hailstone mine.
Gaining a peaceful nation is a crucial step in the development of *Beast Stealing*. At this moment, there's a guy with the courage to stop Kaido. He doesn't want to play the samurai game.
So Cade took a deep breath.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers!
The aura of the scorching dragon instantly enveloped the unknown warriors and birds he had never seen before beneath his feet, then slammed onto the distant sea, opening an unfathomable vortex eye in the turbulent ocean.
After a brief pause, the seawater continued to flow in, evaporating the salty mist and creating a deafening sound.
Kai seemed bored, staring at the fog-shrouded sea for a while, then staggered away drunkenly, unable to utter even a contemptuous laugh due to his stinginess.
"Heh heh, don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Cade. I still want to get closer to you. Heh~"
This guy
Baili Xiao not only walked around to cover his face with a fan, but also, like a traditional shogun, let out a strange laugh without reservation.
Kai had no other feelings about this. After all, seeing his completely beastly appearance, it was reckless for a guy who came alone and didn't even have any skills, but that alone was not enough to encourage Haitang.
“Hiccup, you’re the head of the Warrior Kingdom, aren’t you? I’m planning to say something to you, but I don’t want to wait too long.”
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Cade to know my name. It's a great honor."
I'm here simply to get close to Mr. Cade. I've ordered a grand banquet to be prepared in the capital. I hope Mr. Cade will attend.”
Your running away and arguing now will hurt me. Hiccup, but you're not just a thief who steals from the country.
“Gehah haha, no, really not. I only know a little swordsmanship, not as good as Mr. Cade.”
"Then I'll leave. That boy, Feng Ying, should tell you. I've come to this country, cough!"
Secret Sword, Zero-Flash Formation, Five Machines
Seeing the dragon looking back from its throat, Baili Xiao, standing on his sweat-drenched back, smiled faintly.
"Mr. Cade, what brings you to my country?"
The enormous azure dragon now resembled a threatened cobra, its body and head billowing high in the air. Had Cade not clung tightly to the fiery clouds beside her with both hands and feet, and had her throat severely injured and momentarily unconscious, she would have plummeted into the clouds and the sea below like a washing machine.
For Kaido, a Fish-Fish Fruit user, going to sea might feel like coming home, but as a human, I have a dream. Is Kaido a freshwater fish?
"~ It hurts a lot. It suddenly woke me up."
The dragon's head slowly returned to its original position, but Baili Xiao's close-range attack failed to leave a scar on Cade's throat.
However, Cade's enormous scleral tissue was dilated and congested, making him look like a soldier suffering from ghost lamp disease.
Moreover, Cade, who was hit by this blow, would definitely not appear to be so lightly injured.
