Kaido stared intently at him, his eyes blazing with furious rage and murderous intent, so dark they seemed to drip with water.
"Boy!"
How do you know about this?
His voice was no longer simply deep; it had taken on a metallic, abrasive quality, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with a ferocious killing intent.
thump.
Kaido took a step forward.
With just one step, the entire structure of the pavilion began to groan in despair, on the verge of collapse.
That condensed, supremely powerful aura of dominance was no longer indiscriminately unleashed; instead, it transformed into an invisible hammer, slamming down heavily on Su Hui.
He walked towards Su Hui step by step, and with each step he took, the sense of oppression in the surrounding space increased exponentially.
The air became as thick as mercury, incredibly heavy, the light distorted, and everything fell silent.
Jhin and Quinn, the two highest-ranking officers of the Sea Emperor, stood silently in place, their eyes filled with contemplation.
Joy Boy.
This name is also taboo for them.
"Dad..."
Yamato frowned, clenched his fists, and was about to step forward again.
Su Hui stopped her and shook his head at Yamato.
He didn't even try to resist the pressure; he simply let the force squeeze his body, his gaze beneath the mask remaining calm and undisturbed.
"
How do I know?
He chuckled softly, his voice not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
"Because I am not a person of this world."
Su Hui calmly reiterated the seemingly absurd identity that Yamato had mentioned.
"Just as your daughter said, I come from another world."
Kaido's massive strides paused for a moment, and the killing intent and surprise in his abyss-like eyes intensified.
Su Hui's voice continued, carrying a calm, factual tone.
"I know most of the secrets of this world."
“I know about ‘Joy Boy,’ I know about the Void Century, and I know the truth about the World Government.”
"Because your world is nothing more than an insignificant branch on the World Tree of the endless dimensional universe."
These words were like dropping an even bigger bomb.
Whether it was the three major disasters, or Black Maria and Runti, everyone's face showed an expression of disbelief.
Different world?
Dimensional universe?
These words are beyond their comprehension.
Each of these words touches upon the deepest taboos in this world.
Only Yamato's clear eyes shone with shock and realization.
She seemed somewhat excited; Su Hui's earlier description of a "traveler from another world" was indeed true.
Kaido did not move again.
He stood less than three meters away from Su Hui, and his huge shadow completely enveloped Su Hui.
For the first time, all the savagery and murderous intent on his rugged face were gone, leaving only an extreme, inquisitive scrutiny.
He lowered his eyes and met Su Hui's eyes, which were behind the mask.
After the initial excitement, Yamato looked at the scene with some concern, only to find himself powerless in the face of the two men's confrontational aura.
This stirred within the girl a desire to become stronger.
Kaido and Su Hui locked eyes.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Su Hui continued with the second half of his statement.
"The reason I'm here..."
He paused slightly, as if organizing his thoughts, or perhaps enjoying the thrill of keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
"It is to slay those... true demon gods who are about to destroy the entire dimension, including your world."
"Demon?"
Kaido finally spoke again, his voice hoarse, with a hint of amusement and a touch of disdain.
Su Hui raised his head, a smile playing on his lips, his gaze, though through the mask, filled with undisguised provocation, as he stared directly at the world's strongest creature before him.
"A group of beings far more powerful, more ancient, and more evil than you, and far more than the so-called Celestial Dragons of this world."
"Kaido."
"You spend your whole life searching for a powerful opponent who can kill you, yearning for a spectacular death."
"Then, do you dare to challenge such a demon god?"
silence.
Deathly silence.
Everyone present was completely stunned by Su Hui's shocking remarks.
Jin's eyes flickered uncertainly beneath his golden mask.
Quinn forgot to smoke the cigar in his mouth, and the huge mechanical arm stopped rotating.
For the first time, the composed smile vanished from Black Maria's alluring face.
Runti's mouth dropped open, and she even temporarily forgot her hatred.
Looking at the man standing before the governor, whose figure seemed somewhat insignificant, they felt their worldview being turned upside down.
Kaido remained silent.
He just stared intently at Su Hui, his eyes seeming to hold a storm brewing.
Everyone held their breath, awaiting the thunderous wrath of this sea emperor.
however……
"Ooh o ...
A signature, bold and unrestrained laugh suddenly erupted from Kaido's throat, the sound making the entire building vibrate.
He smiled.
They laughed so hard they were doubled over, as if they had heard the most interesting thing in the world.
"Demon?"
"Hehehe! Interesting! Very interesting!"
Kaido clenched his enormous hand into a fist, and the immense power and speed created a loud explosion in the air.
"I was finding this world utterly boring, but I never imagined there were 'gods' I could kill!"
His laughter stopped abruptly, his tone shifted abruptly, and his eyes became sharp and dangerous once more.
"I'm very interested in the god you mentioned. However, I can see that you are injured, and quite badly so."
"How about this."
Kaido grinned, revealing a set of menacing white teeth.
"After you recover from your injuries, you'll fight me."
"Only those who survive are qualified to stand before me and continue speaking."
"Dad!"
Yamato finally couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Kaido's cold gaze.
"This is a man's agreement, shut up, Yamato!"
Kaido's words are beyond question.
All eyes were on Su Hui, waiting for his answer.
To everyone's surprise, the result was...
Meeting Kaido's oppressive gaze, Su Hui curled a defiant smile at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.
"That's just what I want."
A hint of admiration flashed in Kaido's eyes.
This man, with his courage and arrogance, was unexpectedly to his liking.
He took one last deep look at Su Hui, as if trying to etch the figure wearing the Prajna mask into his mind.
Finally, without saying a word, he turned around and walked away with heavy steps.
The oppressive aura that made it hard to breathe vanished with his departure.
King, Queen, and Jack, the three top executives, all glanced at Su Hui with complicated expressions before silently following Kaido's footsteps.
"Humph!"
Runti stomped her foot heavily at Su Hui's retreating figure in dissatisfaction, her big eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, before finally running away angrily.
Maria in black moved gracefully to Yamato's side and spoke softly in a seductive voice, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
"Yamato, let me give you some advice."
"Stay away from this man, he... is dangerous."
finished,
She swayed her voluptuous figure and gracefully departed, leaving behind only a silhouette reeking of cosmetics and cigarette smoke.
quickly,
In the room, which was now a complete mess, only Su Hui and Yamato remained.
"Are you crazy!"
Once everyone had dispersed, Yamato rushed over, grabbed Su Hui's arm, and anxiously dragged him away from the ruins.
She led him to a perfectly intact Japanese-style room next door and slammed the shoji door shut.
"Why did you agree to him! That's Kaido, the old man!"
Yamato's face was filled with worry and confusion. In her view, Su Hui's behavior was tantamount to suicide.
"Although I hate my dad, I have to admit that his power is at the pinnacle of the world! You'll die if you fight him!"
Her azure eyes were filled with sincere urgency.
"What should we do! That's it!"
Suddenly, Yamato seemed to have thought of something, and his face revealed the purest longing for freedom: "Su Hui! Let's escape from Onigashima together while they're not paying attention, and go out to sea together!"
she was
"escape?"
Su Hui looked into her bright eyes and simply shook his head.
run?
Why run?
This is just the beginning. If I don't even have the courage to face Kaido, how will I face an even more powerful dimensional demon in the future?
To him, this world was a vast, untapped treasure trove, and the Beasts Pirates were the first key he used to unlock it.
