Chapter 293 Release from Prison
Shanks and Buggy were eventually taken away by Roger and his crew, and Kaido did not make things difficult for them.
The reason he deliberately kept Bucky around was because of Rocks's influence back then.
Although that bastard never admitted it, Bucky is indeed that guy's child.
When the Rocks Pirates attacked God Valley, it was not only to take the opportunity to wipe out the Celestial Dragons, but also because Buggy had been betrayed and handed over to the Celestial Dragons, and Rocks wanted to rescue him.
Otherwise, someone like Whitebeard, who wasn't particularly interested in treasure, wouldn't have gone to God Valley to die with Rocks.
Of course, Kaido back then didn't know these things, or rather, he hadn't thought about them carefully.
It wasn't until later, with more adventures, that he gradually understood some details he hadn't paid attention to before, and he realized that Bucky was most likely Rocks' child.
During the two years that Kaido kept Buggy at the Beast Academy, he also focused on teaching the kid.
Various domineering techniques, advanced techniques, Conqueror's Haki entangling, Observation Haki foreseeing the future, Observation Kill, and so on.
In short, he was told all the theoretical knowledge.
Although the method of instruction was to use the Thunderous Eight Trigrams while verbally educating him, it did eventually tell him that it wasn't true.
Whether this kid can learn it or master it in the future is none of Kaido's business.
He has done everything he could.
Bucky has completely taken on Roger's shape, so he can't adopt him anymore. Let it be.
As for the matter of Devil Fruit ascension, Buggy is ultimately not one of his own, and Kaido can tell that away.
As for Shanks, well, he is, after all, Korin's son, so Kaido also taught him along with him.
After Roger took the two of them away, nothing much happened at Beast Academy; things continued as usual.
Before we knew it, the year was 1497 in the Haiyuan calendar.
After more than a year of training, Crocodile successfully completed what he called his training.
When he stepped into the ring again, he successfully achieved a seven-game winning streak.
In the next battle, he will be qualified to directly challenge the Beast Pirates' executives, namely Fioro, Aguria, and a few others.
The next battle will be against Barrett, the ruler of the entire prison.
After defeating Barrett, Crocodile will have completely cleared the game, and no one in the entire prison can stop him from leaving.
However, Crocodile was ultimately a rational person.
He knew very well how strong Barrett was. It was one thing if he wasn't bound by the Seastone, but in his current state, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat Barrett.
Similarly, although Fioro, Aguria, and other executives may not be as well-known as the Beastmaster trainees, their actual combat strength is not bad either.
As an Ancient Zoan user, his combat strength is roughly comparable to that of Ulti and Page One from the original timeline.
Crocodile was not confident of defeating them either.
Therefore, after achieving a seven-game winning streak, he chose to stop while he was ahead.
And Barrett, of course, wouldn't go back on his word.
The Beasts Pirates have been able to grow so strong in this world not only because of the fighting power of Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and others, but also because of their integrity.
Crocodile successfully obtained the ship and food he wanted, and the Seastone shackles that had bound him for over a year were also completely removed.
In addition, Barrett also specially sent his former subordinates who had betrayed him to him.
"You've won, and all your men are back with you."
Barrett said this with a profound meaning.
This was against the rules, but what could he do when he had been betrayed before?
What he hates most is this kind of guy who betrays his partners.
In addition, he is, after all, the main person in charge of the first half of the Beasts branch, so he still has some power.
Crocodile gave Barrett a deep look and said a simple "thank you."
He then used his Devil Fruit power to bury his former subordinates in sand.
What is there to beg for mercy or admit wrongdoing? From the moment they betrayed us, there was no room for forgiveness.
Of course, given Barrett's special consideration, Crocodile didn't cause any trouble for the Beasts. After dealing with his subordinates, he also disposed of their corpses.
Finally, carrying seven days' worth of food, he successfully set sail from the prison island of beasts in a small boat.
………………
The City of Seven Waters.
A year later, Crocodile returned to this place and was filled with emotion.
"If I hadn't deliberately provoked them when I came here, I would probably be in the New World by now."
Of course, it's not necessarily true that I regret it.
Crocodile clenched his fists, his arm muscles bulging explosively.
His current physique is not good enough to turn him into a muscle-bound monster.
But he has transformed from a slender, well-proportioned man into a muscular man who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular build when undressed.
"I need to find a way to get a boat to go out to sea, but I don't have any money right now..."
As a pirate, there are many ways to make money, the simplest of which is robbery.
Of course, this is the territory of all beasts, and if he dares to do that, he will probably have to return to this place again.
Therefore, after a brief period of consideration, Crocodile chose a less desirable, but more appropriate, option.
I need to borrow money!
And the target of the loan was, without a doubt, the Beasts Pirates.
I won't go into the details of the application process, but Crocodile thought he would see the person in charge of the place again, who was Barrett, who had been in prison all along.
He met him at the mayor's building, but it was another unexpected choice.
Kaido, the Dragon Emperor!
"So, you want to borrow money from me?"
Kaido sat on a giant sofa, his hands on the armrests, looking at Crocodile with a mocking expression.
Crocodile stared at Kaido in silence for a long while, but ultimately did not back down in the slightest.
"That's right, I want to borrow money."
"Hmm, that's interesting. So, how much do you want to borrow?"
"A ship that can sail smoothly in the New World without being easily damaged, plus 1000 million Berries in cash."
Although it was surprising that Kaido himself would meet him, Crocodile was no ordinary person after all. He quickly adjusted his mindset and stated his request.
"Is that all?" Kaido said with a faint smile. "Aren't you going to borrow a little more?"
"Ha!" Crocodile scoffed. "So you're going to make me unable to pay back the money and force me to join your pirate crew, huh?"
"Well, although I haven't thought of it that way, it's not impossible if you want it to be that way."
