Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 82 Ruins Exploration

With that, Kaido waved his hand, releasing a healing light that instantly healed the wounds of the injured archaeologists.

"My injuries are healed?!"

"It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Is this the power of a Devil Fruit?"

"so amazing!"

"The Azure Dragon Fruit even has healing abilities?!"

The archaeologists gasped in surprise.

They are not ignorant people.

Many of them had even seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and knew about the abilities of the Azure Dragon Fruit as recorded in the encyclopedia.

But precisely because they knew this, they were even more surprised when Kaido used a previously unrecorded ability.

Dr. Clover was also utterly shocked when he saw this.

However, since Kaido has taken the initiative to show goodwill, he certainly won't refuse this gesture.

"Thank you, Kaido."

"If you don't mind being bored, I'd be happy to temporarily act as your guide."

"Well then, Dr. Clover will have to do his best."

……

after that.

The archaeologists collected the bodies of their companions and entrusted some of them to be taken back to the ship for preservation.

Then they collected the pirates' corpses.

They cut off the heads of those with bounties, and the people who have them can go back and redeem the bounties from the navy.

Then they set the pirates' corpses on fire.

After all this was done, the archaeologists all gathered together and worked alongside Dr. Clover.

Their ulterior motive was, of course, to prevent Kaido from suddenly attacking and harming Dr. Clover.

Although it's not very useful, if Kaido really wanted to kill them all, it would only take a few seconds.

But the intention was indeed good.

Moreover, Dr. Clover was also worried that if he let others act alone again, what if danger occurred again?

Thus, a group of archaeologists collectively became Kaido and his two companions' guides.

While leading Kaido and his two companions deeper into the ruins, he introduced them to the history of the ruins.

And so, the group made their way to the deepest part of the ruins, where there was a cave entrance covered with moss and vines, with steps leading downwards.

"More than 300 years ago, there was a famous underground city on this island."

"Now, many years later, although many parts of this underground city have collapsed, there are still many well-preserved places inside."

Dr. Clover looked Kaido up and down.

"It's a pity you're too tall. If you were the same height as us, you could go in with us and appreciate the cultural relics from over 300 years ago."

"Hmm, it's just about getting smaller, it's simple!"

As he spoke, Kaido's enormous body rapidly shrank to about two meters.

This move once again shocked a group of archaeologists.

"It's shrunk!!"

"How did you do that?!"

"Could it also be the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit?!"

Dr. Clover stared blankly for a full two seconds, mouth agape.

"If you have that ability, then there is indeed no problem."

After saying that, several observant archaeologists took out their machetes and cleared away the vines at the entrance of the cave.

Then Kaido raised his hand and summoned a fireball to serve as a light source, saving Dr. Clover and the others the time of preparing lanterns.

The group entered the ruins.

The entrance begins with a long flight of stairs, followed by a long passageway.

Some simple torches were hanging on both sides of the passageway.

These torches are very new, clearly recent products.

Kaido set them on fire one by one.

The light in the passageway gradually brightened.

The traces of human activity here are therefore more obvious.

"It seems that the Drill Pirates used to live in these underground ruins."

Dr. Clover sighed helplessly.

"Hopefully they didn't cause too much damage inside."

The group continued walking through the passageway for about 100 meters until they came to a spacious room.

Kaido enlarged the fireball in his hand, illuminating more areas.

Suddenly, there were more everyday items for humans here.

After a quick search, I only collected some scattered Berries and coins, totaling about a few million Berries.

Kaido didn't take a single piece; it all went to the archaeologists.

Then, in a corner of the room, they found a staircase leading to the next floor, so they continued downwards.

After walking up a long flight of stairs and through a passageway.

The second room, which is also the first room on the second basement level, appeared.

There are also some human daily necessities here, so it's clear that this is probably the room for the pirate officers.

After another round of looting, they followed the passageway on the other side to the second room on the second basement level.

The layout here looks like the captain's private room.

A single bed and some simple furniture.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a treasure chest here that is not insignificant.

Archaeologists opened the treasure chest, which was filled with gold and silver jewels.

Putting aside other factors, exchanging for Pele would probably yield around 1 million.

"Hehehe, although you lost quite a few people this time, you also gained quite a lot!"

Kaido also refused the 1 million Berries.

These were the spoils of war belonging to the archaeologists, and he disdained to compete with them for such a paltry sum.

However, despite the considerable wealth they amassed, the archaeologists' expressions did not improve much.

"We would rather not have this wealth. If our comrades were still alive, they would be far more valuable than any wealth!"

"And the murals in these rooms have been destroyed by the pirates!"

"These are precious treasures left to us by human history! How could they bear to destroy them?!"

The archaeologists were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could resurrect the dead Drill Pirates and kill them again and again.

Kaido could only shrug in response, expressing his respect and admiration for their selfless spirit.

The selfless character of these archaeologists present truly puts even a selfish person like Kaido to shame.

After looting the captain's cabin, the group continued up the stairs to the third basement level.

Three underground floors.

There are no longer any traces of pirates' lives here, but there are still signs that it has been explored.

However, from this point on, the pirates stopped causing much damage, and the murals on the walls were relatively well preserved. The archaeologists gradually became more enthusiastic and began to tell the stories depicted in the murals.

Kaido listened patiently.

The stories depicted in these murals are mostly stories that this island has experienced, and they are quite interesting if you listen to them purely as stories.

And so, the group explored their way down to the third, fourth, and fifth underground levels.

The number of rooms increases with each floor you go down.

This so-called underground city is actually structured like a pyramid.

at last……

I explored all the rooms on the five underground floors.

Having gained virtually nothing from stories and history, Kaido and his crew arrived at the stairwell leading from the fifth to the sixth underground level.

At this moment, Dr. Clover spoke up: "This was once the place where we explored the deepest."

"Because the light source of the handheld lamp has a limited duration, the sixth underground level has never been explored."

"Kaido, thanks to you, we finally have the chance to see the true face of the sixth underground level!"

Dr. Clover's expression showed a hint of excitement.

Although he doesn't yet know exactly what's on the six lower levels, there are definitely murals he's never seen before!

These murals often represent entirely new historical information!

He couldn't help but feel excited whenever he thought about it.

Coincidentally, the rest of the archaeologists are basically the same.

"Uro ro ro ro..."

Kaido grinned.

"Since you're all so eager, let's go down to the sixth underground level and explore it thoroughly!"
