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

Chapter 44 Devastating Victory

Kaido led his army from the capital westward toward the island, intending to circle the entire island counter-clockwise and sweep away all the nobles along the way.

However, he had only been gone from the capital for a short time when the nobles on the western side of the island seemed to have received the message.

Along the way, they passed through the territories of several nobles, but apart from some old, weak, sick, and disabled slaves, everyone else had long since left.

"Hmph, are you planning to concentrate your forces and fight me in a decisive battle?"

Kaido, flying in the sky, chuckled softly.

"Brothers, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!!"

1231 pirates, along with Selene and Sunny, shouted in unison.

"Well, in that case, let's move on! The nobles should have already chosen their battlefield."

The queue continued westward.

The march from the capital was approximately 100 kilometers.

Kaido saw from the sky a large, orderly, and solemn military camp on the distant plains.

"The enemy is well-rested and ready, while we have traveled a long distance and have a superior force. If this were a world without any supernatural powers, we would probably be completely wiped out tonight."

I looked up at the sky.

sunset.

He looked down at his army.

While we wouldn't say we were completely exhausted, we were certainly a bit tired.

"Let's rest for the night and fight them again tomorrow!"

With a swipe of his dragon claw, Kaido unleashed a cloud of flames across the ground, and a massive wooden wall rose up, instantly creating a temporary city with considerable defensive capabilities.

Upon seeing this, the Beast Pirates all widened their eyes.

They thought they would have to fight until they were exhausted today, but they never expected that Captain Kaido would have such abilities!

Excited shouts erupted from their mouths, and their morale soared.

"Everyone! Get the pots and pans ready! Rest and replenish your energy!"

"Selene! Sonny! You two are in charge of the guard duty!"

Although morale is currently high, Kaido still chose to let his subordinates rest for a while.

Only by conserving our energy can we better fight the final battle.

Upon receiving the order, more than 100 temporary cooks carrying iron pots immediately appeared in the army.

They took off the iron pots from their backs, and everyone took out the food they carried with them, and began to cook dinner in peace inside the wooden city walls.

Meanwhile, Selene and Sunny climbed the city wall, looking down at the opposite camp with Kaido.

opposite.

At the same time that Kaido saw them, they naturally saw Kaido as well.

Then the bugle was sounded, and the army quickly assembled, filing out of the camp in neat rows, ready for the final battle.

but……

To their surprise, Kaido's side did not launch an attack.

Instead, he used his Devil Fruit power to directly build a city from the ground.

This left the entire noble army dumbfounded.

"This...this..."

"how to spell?"

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment.

"A direct assault on the city would result in too many casualties. In my opinion, let's wait for the decisive battle tomorrow!"

"Perhaps we can launch a surprise attack at night!"

"Those city walls are all made of wood, we can just burn them all down!"

After a brief discussion, the nobles pulled their troops back to camp and secretly issued the order for a night raid.

Kaido saw this from the sky and sneered disdainfully.

"Instead of taking advantage of our exhausted troops and launching a direct assault, are they planning a night raid?"

"20000 against 1200, a 16-fold troop disparity, and they still launched a night attack. The enemy commander is certainly cautious enough."

"Perfect timing! I'm also planning a night raid on you! Let's set the final battle for midnight!"

Having made up his mind, Kaido relayed the order to Selene and Sunny.

The two of them then relayed the message to the other pirates.

then.

Both armies prepared their own dinners in perfect unison.

On Kaido's side.

Before the meal was officially served, he took out a roasted sea monster that was tens of meters long from his backpack space to serve as an extra meal for everyone.

More than 1200 pirates cheered excitedly.

Eat your fill, drink your fill, and sleep soundly.

Time quickly came to midnight.

We eat dinner at 6 PM and go to bed at 7 PM.

The pirates, who had slept for five hours, suddenly opened their eyes, full of energy.

Silently rising and gathering their armor and weapons, they marched out of the city gates and formed ranks, led by Selene and Sonny.

Then, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and soared into the sky, flying above the army.

The 1200-strong army, keeping a low profile, quietly approached the enemy camp.

Suddenly, the azure dragon flying in the sky spewed out a breath of dragon fire.

The golden-white flames illuminated the sky and also the enemy troops not far ahead.

Both sides were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"So they were also planning a night raid?!"

Boom! Boom!

The dragon's breath descended upon the noble army, and in an instant, thousands of soldiers were engulfed in flames.

"kill!!!"

After glancing at the raging fire behind him, the leading noble general no longer cared about anything else.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

He immediately shouted loudly and gave the order to charge.

The massive army of 2 men was mobilized instantly, launching an attack on the pirates like a landslide or a tsunami.

Selene, of course, would not back down either.

He drew the golden sword from his back and raised it high.

"Brothers! Kill!!"

With a shout, they took the lead and charged forward.

Selene's face was filled with a unique kind of excitement.

She had never seen such a scene of two armies charging at each other before.

But compared to the one-sided massacre of the Celestial Dragons in the past, she found herself preferring the current situation.

In the sky.

The Azure Dragon withdrew its power and unleashed a second burst of fiery dragon breath.

Golden-white flames descended from the sky, bombarding the forefront of the noble army.

In an instant, a large number of the elite knights who were at the forefront disappeared.

The noble army's originally overwhelming charge was forced to stop instantly.

As the large number of people who had charged forward with them looked at the raging inferno and the people who had disappeared, fear began to well up in their eyes.

But while they stopped, Selene and the others did not.

More than 1200 pirates, led by Selene and Sunny, charged forward fearlessly through the sea of ​​fire.

boom!

In an instant, blood rained down.

Selene and Sonny moved as if they were in an empty place.

A golden greatsword was swung left and right, either cleaving something in two or causing blood to gush out.

Sonny, wielding two short knives, moved with remarkable agility.

The blade is imbued with lightning, making it as easy as slicing through melons and vegetables when killing.

In the sky.

Kaido looked down at the battlefield below.

Our own army, like a sharp blade, led by two spearheads, instantly sliced ​​through the enemy's butter-colored formation.

Almost immediately, the noble army began to panic and become chaotic, showing signs of imminent defeat.

Seeing this, Kaido stopped attacking.

His presence was solely for the purpose of controlling casualties on their side.

These 1200-plus men, though initially Sonny's subordinates, have now become his core group.

It's heartbreaking to see each one die.

Of course, controlling casualties does not mean that these 1200-plus people should be treated like royalty.

A truly powerful military is not built through training, but through fighting!

Therefore, Kaido's role is only to open up the battle in the early stages, eliminate the enemy's elite front-line troops, and lower the enemy's morale.

The subsequent battles were entirely handled by these 1200-plus people.

"kill!!"

The battlefield was filled with constant roars, and the Beast Pirates grew stronger with each battle.

Although there were only a little over 1200 people, they fought with the ferocity of a thousand troops.

The enemy, though still numbering over ten thousand, had lost its momentum.

Moreover, most of them were slave soldiers; the real knights had mostly died from Kaido's dragon breath.

So unsurprisingly, defeat did indeed occur.

Large numbers of slave soldiers began to flee.

Selene and Sonny chased after them for a while, but found that they were all slave soldiers, so they turned around and killed the nobles.

The remaining nobles also wanted to escape.

But they understood even better that once they were spread out, they were more easily defeated one by one.

So they gathered the remaining knights and formed a small circle in the center of the battlefield.

And after Selene and Sonny returned, they shouted together.

"We request a duel!!"

"A duel between generals?!"

This word made Selene, who was about to take action, stop in her tracks, and her beautiful eyes gleamed.

"Is it one-on-one duels between generals?!"

"Yes!" the nobles answered in unison.

"Kaido!!"

Selene looked up and called out to the blue dragon in the sky.

"I want to duel!!"

In the sky.

Kaido's massive blue dragon head slowly lowered.

"A duel? A one-on-one duel? You like playing this?"

Selene nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

"I've only ever read about wars in books before, where the outcome of battles was decided by a one-on-one duel between the generals of the two sides!"

"Now that they've taken the initiative to apply, I'd like to give it a try too!!"

"Hmm... Since it's your request, let's have a duel!"

Kaido looked down at the nobles who were arranged in a circle.

"If you can achieve victory, I can promise you that you will leave this island alive!"
