Jan Marco Kingdom, South Blue:
This is a World Government member state, one of the top-tier kingdoms in the South Blue. Even in this era of rising Pirates, the Jan Marco Kingdom has been able to firmly guard its territory against the impact of Pirates, preventing them from affecting the stability of the country.
However, today the Jan Marco Kingdom received terrible news, because the Beasts Pirates from the New World had arrived!
"Ah, the Pirates are here, run!"
"Damn it, aren't those wild beasts? How can they obey human commands?"
"What's that in the sky? Is it a dragon? It's terrifying!"
"The Beasts Pirates, aren't they a famous great Pirate group in the New World? How did they appear in our South Blue?"
"..."
With the arrival of the Beasts Pirates, the entire kingdom was plunged into endless panic.
The army that had been able to resist countless South Blue Pirates was shattered like a bubble under the impact of the Beasts Pirates.
Especially under the impact of Kaido's Haoshoku, almost the entire army collapsed.
The supporting armies that arrived later were also routed by the Beasts Pirates.
Especially from the ships of the Beasts Pirates, many fierce beasts charged down. Each of these fierce beasts was at least three meters tall, including fierce tigers, strong wild wolves, elephants, and lions. In short, there were all kinds of fierce beasts.
And all these fierce beasts were driven by Steer Good, one of the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates, the Beast Calamity. He ate the Paramecia-type Beast Tamer Fruit, which allows him to communicate with and control fierce beasts, taking a large number of them for his own use. This is why he was able to create the current situation where wild beasts are charging everywhere.
"Ugororororo, Steer, well done, as expected of my Beast Calamity!"
Kaido, in his Azure Dragon form, circled in the air, looking at the battlefield below. He was particularly excited by the sight of the beasts charging.
Steer was a subordinate he took in a year ago. His unique Paramecia fruit ability was very much to his liking, and Kaido even actively helped Steer find Beast Island in order to subdue more fierce beasts.
Now that he saw the results, it really didn't disappoint his expectations.
As the Jan Marco Kingdom was in peril, a man standing on a carpet flew out from the Jan Marco royal palace. The carpet under his feet, no, it should be called a flying carpet, carried him into the air, directly facing the Azure Dragon Kaido in the sky.
"Kaido!"
"Get out of my country!"
Edmundo Paredes roared angrily. As he raised his hands, he slammed them down fiercely.
"Sky Covering!"
A huge black cloth appeared in the sky, large enough to cover the sky and sun. The black cloth shimmered with a metallic luster, completely enveloping the sky above Kaido.
The black cloth fell rapidly like a cage, as if to capture the hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon Kaido!
"Ugororororo, are you the strongest user of this fruit? Then come and die!"
Kaido hadn't forgotten what Nox had said before, so the first place he chose to attack was the Jan Marco Kingdom, which had a strong person guarding it.
"Bad Wind!!!"
Kaido opened his dragon mouth, and dozens of wind blades sprayed out.
"Rip!"
"Rip!"
The dozens of meters long wind blades soared into the sky, easily tearing apart the falling giant black cloth.
In an instant, the sky-covering black cloth was torn into countless fragments that fell from the sky.
"What!!"
Seeing this scene, Edmundo's pupils shrank. He was a user of the Paramecia-type Cloth-Cloth Fruit, and the cloth he created was harder than steel. It was unimaginable what would happen if those wind blades landed on him if they were torn so easily!
"Is this the great Pirate of the New World? But even so, you won't make me retreat!"
After recovering from the shock, Edmundo immediately re-controlled the black cloth that had been torn apart by Kaido.
"Cut!"
The torn cloth began to spin rapidly like airplane propellers. Although they didn't agree, they all rushed towards Kaido.
"Hiss!!"
The torn cloth rapidly cut towards Kaido's Azure Dragon body. The extreme rotation gave the torn cloth extreme cutting damage, but when the torn cloth touched Kaido's dragon body, it could only cut small wounds on Kaido's dragon scales, and drops of dragon blood flowed from the wounds.
"Ugororororo, you're just scratching me!!"
"Heat Breath!!!"
Kaido laughed uproariously with his dragon mouth raised to the sky. A huge amount of heat gathered in his dragon mouth, and then he sprayed it towards Edmundo. The huge dragon breath carried extreme high temperature as it rushed down.
"Not good!"
Edmundo's eyes narrowed. He immediately gave up controlling the black cloth to continue attacking Kaido and immediately controlled the flying carpet under his feet to dodge Kaido's dragon breath at the fastest speed.
However, Edmundo initially dodged the dragon breath, but Kaido's dragon breath wasn't stationary. As the dragon mouth shifted, Edmundo was eventually caught by the dragon breath.
"Black Shield!!"
Edmundo used his greatest strength to create layer after layer of black cloth stacked together to form a thick black shield. The shield was also covered with Busoshoku Haki.
When the dragon breath hit the black shield, the black shield temporarily blocked the scorching power of the dragon breath.
But the dragon breath contained terrifying impact force, instantly knocking Edmundo from the air to the ground. Even the flying carpet under his feet was not enough to withstand that impact force.
Edmundo was completely blown from the air to the ground by the dragon breath. The most terrifying thing was that the black shield melted under the continuous impact of the dragon breath, and Edmundo was hit head-on by the dragon breath and blasted into the ground.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
After the dragon breath ended, Edmundo climbed out of the deep pit in a terrible state. He couldn't help but spit out several mouthfuls of blood, and his burned clothes and burned skin and muscles were exposed.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to his injuries, his eyes fixed on Kaido in the sky.
And Kaido didn't disappoint him. As soon as the dragon breath passed, dozens of wind blades, more than ten meters long, rushed over Edmundo.
As the battle with Kaido continued, Edmundo suffered more and more injuries, and his physical strength gradually depleted. In less than five minutes, Edmundo couldn't even get up.
"Ugororororo, you are very good. Are you interested in becoming my subordinate? After becoming my subordinate, you will be the fourth great calamity of the Beasts Pirates, named Cloth Calamity!"
Kaido's dragon head looked down at Edmundo from above.
Edmundo's strength earned Kaido's recognition. At least Edmundo was stronger than the three great calamities under Kaido, which was the reason why Kaido wanted to recruit Edmundo.
