"Hehehe~ Kaido, I'm here! Come out and greet me!"
Before anyone even boarded the ship, their arrogant voices could already be heard.
"It's been so long since we last saw each other!"
At the side of the boat, Babel put down his wine bottle, a playful look on his face.
"Kurozumi Higurashi, you have no right to reminisce with me and Kaido."
"Who are you"
Just as Kurotan Musashi stepped onto the deck, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Babel! What are you doing here?!"
"You ask me why? Heh heh heh!"
Babel closed the main gates for both the upper and lower levels, blocking Kurotan Muchan's escape route.
"Naturally, I would choose to follow that dangerous and daring man."
Dangerous yet daring?!
Could it be Kaido?
But.
Before Kurozumi Musashi could even process what was happening, Loki greeted her with his Conqueror's Haki.
"Hey, old woman, I heard you're the human who tries to negotiate with us, right?"
"My name is Loki, the top lieutenant of the Beasts Pirates!"
Conqueror's Haki!?
Kurotan Musashi was pushed forward by Babel, who pressed down on her shoulders.
"If you dare to run, I'll crush your head."
"Bazaar wants to see you, so go there obediently."
Bazel?!
Wait a minute!
"Feed Babel, my partner is Kaido!"
"Kaido is out having fun. Now Bazel is in charge of this ship, so relax, Kuroko."
Babel suddenly shoved the bottle, which still contained some wine, into the other person's hand.
"You'll be shocked when you see him, that man is absolutely terrifying, hehehehe!!"
Kuroko Muchan could only take a sip of wine to calm her nerves, standing in front of Loki with a grim expression.
Look up and gaze upon the three giants.
She could sense the ill intent and contempt in the eyes of the three giants.
"I need to see Kaido, where is he?"
"Kaido?"
The crowd slowly dispersed, revealing a passageway.
Bazel walked slowly towards them.
Standing at just over two meters tall, he appeared rather short among the many pirates, but Kurozumi Mujou's gaze remained fixed on the man.
This crazy feeling... Rocks!?
That's not right!
Rocks should be dead; he couldn't possibly be here!
With her mind racing, Kurozumi Musashi finally recognized the man who was walking towards her.
"The second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates, Lord Yamata no Bazel."
"What, since when did you become the leader of the Beasts Pirates?"
Bazel sat in the chair that the pirates had brought over, looking down from his elevated position.
"What, do you think I'm not qualified?"
boom--!!
His Conqueror's Haki, far surpassing Loki's, erupted.
Kurotan Musashi breathed into the room, her pupils reflecting a blurry red monster.
"Your spirit?!"
"Brother, shut up your bravado, or this old woman might wet her pants!!"
"Feeding humans!"
Crouching down, Loki stared at Kuroko Musashi with his demonic eyes and brazenly shouted:
"Listen carefully, this isn't a cooperative relationship between us. To us, you're like an ant!"
"Just lead us in obediently, and then behave yourself. That's the only thing you can do!!"
"If you dare to defy your big brother, I'll tear you to pieces and use your head to fish for sea kings, hahahaha!!!"
Loki.
Bazel waved his hand casually, and Loki shrank back without the slightest hesitation.
"She's our partner in the Beasts Pirates, how can you treat her so rudely?"
"Babanuki, let the guest sit down before we talk."
Babanu walked over with a blank face, but he wasn't carrying anything in his hands.
"What are you looking at me for? Didn't you hear the boss tell you to sit down?"
"Do I have to break your legs before you'll sit down?"
Kurozumi Musashi was unwilling, but looking at the Beast Pirates around him who were eager to try, he sat cross-legged on the deck with a gloomy face.
"Tch, this old woman is such a coward! Is someone like her even a remnant of Rocks?"
"Who says otherwise? I was even hoping she would attack, and I would then accomplish the great feat of eliminating the enemy!"
"Kurotan Mugishima,"
Bazel raised his left leg and placed it on top of his right leg, his expression playful:
"Kaido told me a lot of things before he went off to play, including that I shouldn't worry about you."
"Whether you're here or not, all the beasts can enter Wano Country. What the Kurozumi clan wants is none of our business. Since you've chosen to let Yuzuru in, you should have been prepared, right?"
Kurotan Muchan gripped her trouser legs and clothes tightly with both hands, her voice hoarse:
"I have an alliance with Kaido, young man, you—"
Bang!
Babanuki pressed down on Kurotan Musashi's head and slammed it heavily onto the deck.
"I'll only say it once, so listen carefully."
"Boss Bazel has a name, you'd better show some basic respect, or next time I'll rip your head off."
Kurozumi Mugami was about to turn the tables and make a move, but Babel casually remarked at that moment:
"Think it over carefully. It's Babanuki who's making the move now, not me."
"Kurotan Musashi, you're just a traitor. If it weren't Boss Bazel standing here today, but Rocks..."
"You're already dead."
"You should be grateful that the Beasts Pirates are a merciful crew, otherwise, based on what you just did, I would have crushed you."
Unclenching her clenched fist, Kurozumi Mucho said expressionlessly:
"I understand, please let go."
Babanuki released his grip and sat back down behind the woman.
Bazel maintained the polite smile he had when they first met:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, we beasts are a bunch of rough men, uneducated and not very cultured."
"Please forgive me. You are a senior and very magnanimous person. You will surely be able to forgive Babanuki's recklessness."
Kurotan Muchan's lips twitched as she looked at the cunning man before her, who resembled an old fox from the mountains.
"I wouldn't dare call myself a senior. This old fellow would never stoop to the level of a younger generation."
"Lord Bazel, please come with me into Wano Country. We can just dock the ship at the underwater harbor behind the waterfall; it's a safe place there."
"Lord Orochi has been waiting in the city for a long time. Our cooperation will begin in a few days."
"cooperate?"
Bazel chuckled a few times:
"You'd better make it clear to that big snake beforehand that we're not in an equal partnership."
"Now it is you who need our help, beasts."
"When you're asking for a favor, it's best to have the proper attitude. If we're not happy about it..."
The Beasts Pirates around them drew their swords and shouted excitedly.
"Then we'll kill you all and go home the way we want, you bastards!!"
"That's right, old woman! If you make us unhappy, we'll abandon you and do it yourselves! That place is my sister-in-law's hometown!"
"Apologize to Boss Bazel, you ungrateful old hag!"
"Quiet."
At this moment, Chi jumped out to play the good cop.
"The other party is a guest, so please don't be overly rude."
Excessive rudeness?
Kurotan Muchan, who had been able to maintain her composure, clenched her teeth tightly.
I haven't felt this way about not taking her seriously for a long time.
"Yes, I apologize."
"I would be honored if Lord Bazel could accompany me to Wano Country. The Kurozumi clan will certainly treat us with the utmost hospitality."
With a wave of his hand, Babel, who was standing by the boat, grabbed water vapor from the air and used it to continuously strike the water, destroying the small boat that Kurotan Muchan had brought.
"We've taken care of the trash you brought. Now lead the way."
The crowd parted to make way for him, and Kurotan Muchan walked toward the bow of the ship with a gloomy face.
"Behind the waterfall lies a mysterious path leading to the upper realm."
"Although it's not finished yet, we can still manage to get through if we bear with it."
Guided by Kurozumi Higurashi, the Beasts Pirates' ship slowly sailed toward the waterfall, and Bazel pulled out the Snake Spirit from his sleeve and threw it out.
Under the dazed gaze of Kurozumi Musashi, the once magnificent waterfall suddenly came to a halt.
The surging seawater seemed to have a mind of its own and split into two sides.
"go ahead!"
Passing through the dark and damp cave, the massive Beast Warship came to rest at the end of the cave.
"Davgo, take some men from your crew to stay and watch the ship. The rest of you, come with me to Wano Country."
Bazel stood beneath a void where the sky was not visible above.
"Loki, control your bravado. Now is not the time for the Beasts Pirates to make their grand entrance."
"I contacted Kaido last night, and what follows is the captain's order."
"Kaido said that no one in the Beasts Pirates should make a move before he returns."
"Those who violate this rule—."
"Expel him from the Beasts Pirates."
