Chapter 2 - OPRK Chapter 2: A Pirate Alliance Forged in Flames

"Worororororo... Noro, interesting." Kaido laughed, following Noro.

The two arrived at King's laboratory. Although Vegapunk was not present, the experiments on King had not stopped. A machine was conducting an endurance test on him.

On the experiment bed, a special flame burned King's body. From within the flames came King's painful and hateful roars,

"Let me out! What did we do wrong? It's all nonsense! I'll burn you all to ashes!"

Noro stepped forward and destroyed the machine. The program stopped running, the flames subsided, the thick smoke dissipated, revealing the young man's appearance on the experiment bed.

The young man had white hair, brown skin, black wings, and a wreath-shaped tattoo around his left eye.

"You... who are you?" King asked weakly, looking at the suddenly appearing Kaido and Noro.

Kaido pointed at himself, laughing as he said, "Me? ...I'm a pirate!"

Noro also nodded, "Me too."

King was a little stunned. He believed the big guy when he said he was a pirate, but you're wearing a Marine uniform, and you say you're a pirate?

Kaido recognized King's race at a glance, realizing, "I see, no wonder the World Government won't let you go. You're a Lunarian. I saw the endurance test just now. You can withstand such flames, as expected..."

Hearing this, King suddenly became agitated, his upper body wanting to rise, but his hands were firmly locked by the handcuffs on the experiment bed, making metallic clanging sounds.

"You want to say as expected of the legendary race? Are you going to treat me as a test subject like them?"

At this moment, a series of footsteps quickly approached, soon arriving in front of Noro and Kaido.

The leading Marine Rear Admiral, upon seeing Noro, angrily questioned loudly, "Rear Admiral Noro, what are you doing? Kaido is an important test subject on Punk Hazard!"

Noro turned around, a smile on his face, "Oh? You've realized it."

Kaido looked at Noro teasingly, "Your Marine colleague?"

Noro said indifferently, "Irrelevant."

Indeed, irrelevant. Noro hadn't been here long and wasn't familiar with anyone here.

And this Rear Admiral probably saw that he was a Rear Admiral at such a young age, while he himself had wasted half his life and was still a Rear Admiral.

Driven by jealousy, he had been openly and secretly opposing him, being sarcastic and mocking.

He also didn't consider that Noro had become a Rear Admiral in just two years of service, his future achievements immeasurable, completely beyond his ability to provoke.

It was just that Noro was too lazy to pay attention to this NPC without even a name.

Hearing this, Kaido had a cruel smile on his face. He had no good feelings for the World Government and the Marines,

"In that case, it's okay if I kill them all, right?"

"Suit yourself."

"Worororororo..." Kaido grinned savagely, charging into the Marines and slaughtering them at will.

Noro turned back to King, wielding his halberd and destroying the handcuffs locking King.

"We plan to leave here and form a new pirate crew. What about you, lab rat?"

Before King could reply, Kaido, who was busy dealing with the Marines, suddenly shouted, "If the world is boring, then let's make it interesting! Decide, your choice!"

Noro was a little speechless. Kaido, did you have to say that line? I already said it to you first.

King's gaze was fixed on Noro and Kaido, his voice a little weak, but with a hint of anticipation, "Can you change the world?"

Noro nodded very affirmatively, "He can!"

He had no thoughts of changing the world, it was just a pie he was drawing for Kaido.

Kaido couldn't help but look at Noro in surprise. Was this man so sure of him?

"Opening!"

A Marine instantly seized an opening, leaping high and swinging an axe at Kaido's head.

"Clang!"

Like metal colliding, sparks flew, the axe was directly shattered, while Kaido was unharmed.

Without even looking, Kaido casually waved his hand, and the Marine's head exploded like a watermelon.

Then he laughed wildly, "Wororororo... That's right, only I can change this world!"

King looked at these two unruly, unrestrained, yet confident individuals, and the flame that had been suppressed in his heart seemed to be ignited.

He struggled to stand up, his eyes incredibly firm. "Okay, I'll go with you!"

The laboratory's alarm blared loudly, and more and more Marines rushed towards them.

The Marine Rear Admiral was still shouting, "Noro, you're dead! I've already reported your arson and release of the test subjects to Marine Headquarters."

Noro's pupils instantly turned into sharp, vertical slits, his figure flashed, and in the next instant, his halberd had pierced through the Marine Rear Admiral's body.

The Marine Rear Admiral coughed up blood, looking down at the halberd piercing through him in disbelief, "Impossible! Impossible! We're both Rear Admirals, how can the difference in strength be so great!"

Noro slowly pulled out his halberd, a mocking arc appearing at the corner of his mouth, "You're a Marine Rear Admiral because your ability can only reach Marine Rear Admiral. I'm a Marine Rear Admiral because I only want to be a Marine Rear Admiral."

The NPC Marine Rear Admiral died with his eyes wide open, slowly falling down.

Looking at the Marines heavily surrounding the three of them, in the next instant, Noro's Conqueror's Haki surged out.

The terrifying aura swept across the small island, and in the air, dark red lightning danced.

The Marines couldn't withstand the impact of this Conqueror's Haki, foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground.

Noro also had Conqueror's Haki, and it awakened very...

How to say it... very unique.

At the beginning of his transmigration, after confirming that this was the One Piece world, Noro's only thought was to quickly become stronger, then rule and enslave Wano Country.

In an instant, the monstrous hatred and absolute belief hidden in his bones, Conqueror's Haki surged and burst forth.

At the time, Noro himself was startled, this TM also works!

Kaido stared blankly at Noro. A Marine Rear Admiral instantly killing another Marine Rear Admiral was already enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect him to also have the qualifications of a king, Conqueror's Haki.

"Let's go, it'll be troublesome if Marine Headquarters' reinforcements arrive," Noro said, dragging his halberd as he walked ahead.

Kaido laughed in relief; "That's right, how could someone who wants to change the world with me not have the qualifications of a king."

Kaido strode forward, not forgetting to call out to King in the rear, "Let's go."

King didn't say anything, quickly following.

"Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet," Kaido suddenly turned around and asked.

King was expressionless: "Alber."

Kaido laughed, "From now on, let's call you 'King'."

"King?" King murmured, repeating the name.

Noro's voice slowly came from the front:

"From now on, we'll have your back, King. No one will be able to take you from our hands, and we won't hand you over to anyone. From today onwards, you're the third member of our pirate crew."
