Chapter 33 Surrender or Death
Before leaving the gold exchange.
Kaido and Fioro still managed to complete a gold exchange deal.
Not much, 2000 million Pelés.
"Start assigning tasks now!"
"Asie, Olga, you two go with Longbread to the hospital in the west of the city for treatment."
"Lingling, you're in charge of buying daily necessities, and you can take Selene shopping with you to help her relax."
"I'm in charge of the Capone family."
"I'll have the Mafia notify you sometime between early evening and midnight, and we'll meet at the Capone family's headquarters then!"
As he spoke, Kaido divided the Beli in his hand equally between the two groups of men.
After receiving the Bell, Charlotte Linlin waved goodbye and then headed to the shopping street with Selene.
Longbread, along with Mischina and her father, and two large lizards, headed west of the city.
As for Kaido himself, he continued to follow Fioro to the Capone family's residence.
We drove through streets and alleys until we reached the border between the affluent northern district and the western part of the city, in the northwest corner of the entire city.
Here stands a slightly retro European-style villa.
The Capone family's headquarters are located here.
Kaido stood outside the open iron gate of the courtyard, observing the interior.
This villa is not only retro in style, but also full of historical atmosphere.
It's certainly been at least a few decades, if not hundreds of years.
Surrounding the retro villa is a spacious green lawn and a not-too-high wall.
A young man in a suit and tie stood in the center of the courtyard.
He had his hair slicked back, wore a suit and leather shoes, and had a cigar in his mouth. He looked young, probably only in his thirties.
Moreover, he has a very well-proportioned physique, unlike Capone Becky who has gained weight in middle age.
In front of this young man, on both sides, like an honor guard, stood 10 men in black suits on each side.
They had no weapons.
Of course, it just looks like it doesn't.
If a real fight breaks out, they can definitely pull out flintlock pistols or daggers from any corner of their bodies at any time.
Kaido glanced around and said with a hint of mockery, "You think something like this can stop me?"
The young man directly opposite him spread his arms to the sides, displaying his broad-mindedness.
"It's just a formality, to express my respect for you."
"is it?"
Kaido smiled enigmatically, having already mentally issued the order to the system to perform the appraisal.

"Not bad, he's a good talent. After eating the Devil Fruit, he might be able to go even further."
Kaido's sudden remark left Capone Sunny completely bewildered.
"What do you mean? Aren't we here to discuss business?"
Boom!
A huge spiked club suddenly appeared.
The dark shaft crushed the bricks and stones on the road, and the heavy weight caused the stones to naturally tilt upwards, forming a small pit.
Crack! Crack!
Kaido twisted his neck.
"Enough with the nonsense, Sonny. You've got some talent. How about becoming my subordinate?!"
"What did you say?!"
Capone Sonny, already full of questions, became even more puzzled.
But as the leader of a power, his reaction was still very quick.
Anger immediately appeared on his face.
"Damn it, you pirate bastard! How dare you play me for a fool!"
"Men! All of you, charge at him together! Let's kill him!"
"A bounty of 1.291 billion Berries! I'm going to see just how much of a prize it really is today!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar was heard.
All his subordinates have ascended to heaven.
The next second, a thick spiked club was less than 10 centimeters from his cheek.
Sonny's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
Instinctively, he used Armament Haki to protect his head before the spiked club was about to hit him.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
With a deafening roar and a thunderous roar, Capone Sonny was transformed into a cannonball and sent flying straight backward.
It crashed through several walls of the villa until it reached the other end, where a huge outward bulge was created in one of the walls, before finally coming to a complete stop.
Capone Sonny, who had just been quite handsome, now had his eyes rolled back and completely passed out.
"How dare you lay a hand on the Godfather!!"
With a hum, an invisible Conqueror's Haki domain instantly unfolded, silencing all the noise in the entire villa in an instant.
……
I don't know how much time has passed.
Capone Sonny slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw his familiar ceiling, but something felt off.
"I think I just had a dream..."
He slowly sat up, gently rubbing his aching forehead with his right hand.
"I think I dreamt about a jerk..."
"They said they wanted to discuss a big deal with me—to conquer the member states of the World Government..."
"But after we officially met, he suddenly went back on his word and said he wanted me to be his subordinate..."
"Damn it, that bastard, you can't play games like that!"
"I was furious and ready to kill him, and then... all my men flew away, and the spiked club hit me right on the head..."
"If I hadn't gone to the Flower Country in my early years and learned Haki there, my head would probably have been blown to bits..."
"Is that bastard you're talking about a guy named Azure Dragon Kaido?"
A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, rang out from the side.
Capone Sonny immediately nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! That bastard's name seems to be that!!"
"Azure Dragon Kaido!!"
"A pirate bastard with a bounty of 1.291 billion Berries!!"
Capone Sonny was absolutely furious.
"That bastard is really inexplicable!"
"I don't know him at all!"
"Who the hell would agree to suddenly being made his subordinate?!"
"What the hell does he think he is?!"
"Let's talk business! It's so unreasonable to start fighting when there's no conflict at all!!"
"Could it be that all pirates are such untrustworthy, chaotic bastards who act without any rhyme or reason?!"
Capone Sonny unleashed a string of profanities before remembering that there was someone next to him, and he quickly turned around to look.
"By the way, how did you know the name of that jerk in my dream..."
Kaido smiled broadly as he looked at Capone Sunny, who had turned around.
"Because it's all real! It's not a dream!"
"..."
With one hand covering his forehead, Capone Sonny lowered his head, looking rather weary.
"What exactly is your purpose? You can't really just want me to be your subordinate, can you?"
"Ugh... That last blow was to prove my strength to you!"
Kaido sat cross-legged to the side of Capone Sunny and withdrew his hand from the healing light he had been casting on him.
"Now, let's get down to business!"
Seeing Kaido's expression, which was clearly not joking, Capone Sunny immediately adjusted his posture, sitting face-to-face with Kaido.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Please speak!"
Seeing that Capone Sunny was also getting serious, Kaido, of course, didn't beat around the bush and directly held up two fingers.
"I have two plans in the West Sea!"
"The first thing is to capture this island and use it as my base of operations in the Western Sea!"
"The second is to integrate all the mafia and underground forces in the entire West Sea and monopolize all underground businesses in the West Sea."
Capone Sonny fell silent upon hearing this.
"So...you didn't lie to me before?!"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, the reason I wanted to take you on as a subordinate was because I saw your talent and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it has nothing to do with the plan."
Capone Sonny took a deep breath; he suddenly felt an urge to punch someone.
but……
I can't beat them...
So annoying...
Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and begin to consider the feasibility of Kaido's plan.
"Your plans... are not entirely impossible, but completing them is almost impossible."
"Ugh, is it finished? What do you mean by that?"
Capone Sunny looked at Kaido as if he were an idiot.
"Let's not even talk about whether your first plan can be realized... just take your second plan, which is to unify the underground world of the West Sea."
"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide from you."
"I am actually not completely independent."
He held up one finger and pointed to the ceiling.
"Above me, there is an even higher ruler!"
"He is the true mastermind behind the Capone family!"
"As for me? I'm called the Godfather, but in reality, I'm just a pawn."
"The situation is actually similar for the other four major mafia families in the West Sea."
"We are nothing more than the black gloves of certain big shots, doing the dirty and hard work for them and earning a meager living."
"The balance of power among the five major families in the West Sea has never been what we wanted, but rather what the big shots above wanted."
"They do not want a unified underground world to emerge in the Western Sea."
"If someone tries to do this, the big shots will intervene. If the big shots are also helpless, the world government and navy behind them will take action themselves."
"Therefore, your idea of unifying the underworld of the Western Sea is simply impossible!"
Do you understand what I'm saying?
After listening to this long speech, Kaido curled his lip indifferently.
"They're just the World Government and the Navy, what's there to be afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Capone Sonny looked utterly exhausted and rubbed his forehead with one hand.
"Why can't you understand human language?!"
"Okay, let's not talk about the second plan now, let's just talk about the first plan."
"You want to completely occupy this country, not just rob a little and run, right?"
Kaido nodded solemnly, "That's right!"
"What about the World Government and the Navy?!"
Capone Sonny countered:
“They would never allow you to occupy a member state for an extended period of time. It’s not just about the Heavenly Gold, but also a major provocation to their reputation. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sent a Buster Call to annihilate you.”
"Hmm... What you said does make sense."
Kaido nodded in deep agreement.
"But! You seem to have overlooked one problem."
"That is, since I have the courage to plan this way, I naturally have enough confidence to deal with the invincible world government and navy you speak of."
"So now..."
Kaido, holding his spiked club, slowly rose from the ground.
"You owe me an answer!"
"To submit or to die?!"
