## Chapter 281: The Marines' Okuchi no Makami!
Kaido watched as Charlotte Linlin, shrunk significantly, walked into the Star Gate, but he didn't follow her in. Instead, he turned and left the Base, then transformed into his Azure Dragon form again and flew towards the High Altitude.
He had said before that he had something to do on this trip, which was to go see his daughter, Yamato!
[Woo——————]
But just as Kaido arrived near the High Altitude above Marineford, he was speechless to see that the Island had already sounded a sharp Alarm Sound, and the dozens of Coastal Defense Cannons adjusted their angles to aim at him.
At the same time, a large number of Marine Officers wearing White Justice Coats flew up like a flock of white pigeons.
Suddenly, the Atmosphere became awkward.
However, the Alarm Sound was turned off not long after, but the Coastal Defense Cannons showed no intention of lowering their Gun Barrels, clearly still maintaining a high degree of vigilance towards that Azure Dragon.
"Kaido, what are you here for?"
Just then, Fleet Admiral Sengoku flew over, transforming into a white Afterimage. His serious Expression looked naturally imposing.
"Of course I'm here to see my daughter!"
Hearing Kaido's words, Sengoku was startled and immediately realized it was true. This left him with no choice but to order the surrounding Officers to disperse. He then said, "Let's go, I'll take you."
There was nothing he could do. The Marine Headquarters now only had him as an Admiral Level Combat Power capable of keeping the other party in check. After all, it was impossible to let Kaido move freely within the Marine Headquarters. Even though he had accepted Recruitment, he was still not a Marines in the end.
The two walked one after another on the Street of Marineford. Along the way, Marines of various ranks looked at Kaido with strange Gazes. Who would have thought that a Pirate who previously had such a high Bounty could walk so openly within the Marine Headquarters?
They didn't know why this was happening.
There was nothing they could do.
Currently, only Commander above the rank of Vice Admiral knew about the Star Gate and the Otherworld. They hadn't publicly announced it to the Whole Army yet, as that would be equivalent to announcing it to the entire World.
For Kaido himself, this kind of Experience was also very novel, which made him look around at the various Building with great interest.
The Island of Marineford was actually quite large, no less than a modern metropolis, far from the small area depicted in the Anime.
Furthermore, according to Military Regulations, flying was prohibited here under normal circumstances!
This meant that no matter whether it was an Ability User with flying Ability or someone who could use Moonwalk from the Navy Six Styles, no form of flying was allowed.
Even a Marine Admiral had to walk step by step from the Port, across the Plaza, and then into the various Zone behind after disembarking from a Warship.
The intention was to make people feel awe towards the Marine Headquarters.
So Sengoku walked a long distance with Kaido. Fortunately, both of them had long legs and walked very fast, so they reached the Gate of the Female Soldier Barracks before long.
"Fleet Admiral?"
The two Female Marine standing guard by the Gate looked over in confusion.
"This is Yamato's Father, Kaido. He's here to see his daughter. Ask Vice Admiral Samantha whether to let Kaido in or bring Yamato out."
Sengoku said calmly with his hands in his Pocket, a docile Seagull perched on his Marine hat. Only his beard, braided into pigtails on his chin, looked a bit amusing.
"Yes!"
The Female Marine quickly took out a Transponder Snail to relay the message. Not long after, Vice Admiral Samantha was seen walking out, holding the little Loli Yamato.
"Father!!"
As soon as Yamato saw Kaido's face, she showed the most brilliant Smile. This also brought a hint of fatherly tenderness to Kaido's eyes, although his Expression was still somewhat stiff.
"Can you find us a quiet room? I want to talk to my daughter alone for a bit," Kaido said to Sengoku after picking up Yamato, who had run over.
Sengoku didn't speak, his Gaze turned towards Vice Admiral Samantha. The latter understood tacitly and nodded, pointing to the small room next to the Gate. She smiled and said, "How about there?"
That was the place provided for the guards to rest.
"Alright!"
Kaido wasn't picky. He immediately strode over with his daughter in his arms, leaving Sengoku and the others standing there watching their backs.
"So this is Kaido, the one called the Strongest Creature in recent years? He seems like a good Father~" Vice Admiral Samantha teased.
"He's still just a Pirate after all."
Sengoku replied lightly, unconcerned.
[Thud]
Kaido walked into the small room and conveniently closed the door. He didn't specifically pull the small curtain, but first gently placed Yamato on the ground, then squatted down. However, his seven-meter Height still made him look especially tall even when squatting. Fortunately, Yamato was already used to tilting her Neck up to look at her Father.
"Father, will I live here from now on?" Yamato's small, milky voice was very pleasant to the ear.
Kaido nodded and asked softly, "Yes. How have you been recently? Has anyone bullied you?"
"No, Aunt Rouge, Aunt Samantha, and the others are all very good to me. Oh, right, and Grandma Tsuru, and Little Brother Ace are also very cute!"
Yamato stood there prettily and laughed sweetly. Her silver hair and the red horns on her head were simply incomparably cute.
"That's good. From now on, you won't just live here, you'll also go to school here, and most likely become a Marines. When that time comes, you must study seriously and train hard!"
"Remember, in this World, only your own Strength is the most reliable. And you must also remember your Oni Race Identity!"
Yamato didn't know why her Father suddenly became so serious, but she still obediently nodded and replied seriously, "I remember!"
"Mm, come, eat this."
At this moment, Kaido took out an orange-red, large persimmon-shaped Devil Fruit from somewhere. He had found this when he was still ruling Wano Country.
He had originally planned to wait until his little daughter grew up and then take it out when she became the General of Wano Country, but now all his plans were completely disrupted.
So he decided to let Yamato eat this Zoan Mythical Beast Type, Inu Inu no Mi, Okuchi no Makami Form Devil Fruit in advance.
This would not only enhance Yamato's Aptitude in all aspects but also earn her more attention and training from the Marines. This way, even if something happened to him someday, he wouldn't have to worry about her having a difficult life.
Honestly.
Just talking about being a parent, Kaido's appearance of worrying so much for his daughter is much stronger than Garp, Dragon, and Charlotte Linlin. He can completely compete with Edward Newgate for the Epithet of best old Father.
"It looks delicious..."
Yamato shyly took it. Under Kaido's gaze, she carefully took a small bite of the Fruit flesh. But as soon as it entered her mouth, her taste buds immediately protested severely.
"Ugh, it tastes awful!"
"Swallow it!"
But the tenderness on Kaido's face was long gone, replaced only by sternness like Dark Clouds. Yamato was startled by the shout and subconsciously swallowed the Fruit flesh.
"Eat it all!"
Kaido actually knew that a Devil Fruit only needed one bite, but he just wanted Yamato to have a very deep impression of her Ability.
"Ah, Father, this thing is bigger than my stomach, I can't eat it all!" Yamato's eyes welled up with tears from being wronged, but Kaido didn't soften his Heart at all.
"You're an Oni Race member, you can definitely finish it. Eat!"
Having no choice, Yamato could only eat the Devil Fruit bite by bite, with tears dripping and forcing herself. The whole process was very difficult; she almost gagged the entire time before finally managing to finish it.
"Wuwuwuwu, Father, I... I finished eating..."
Kaido looked at his little daughter sobbing while looking at him and Speaking in a low voice. He actually felt very pained as well. "Now close your eyes and feel your Body!"
"Okay..."
The current Yamato was really very obedient. It shows how deeply she was poisoned by Kozuki Oden's Diary in the Canon. He saw her slowly close her eyes, which were already soaked with tears.
Soon, the little girl's Body began to change. Her silver hair rapidly grew, her ears became longer and pointed, and white fur grew strand by strand on her forearms and calves.
This was Beast-Human Form!
Kaido understood in his Heart. When he saw wisps of white mist-like Cold Air emitting from beside Yamato, a clear Smile finally appeared on his face.
"That's right!"
