"I never expected the East Blue would become my grave..."
Kaito simply gave a faint, indifferent smile in response. Many people regarded the East Blue as the weakest sea—but had they forgotten that Roger's hometown was in the East Blue too? That Garp and Dragon were also born there?
The strength of people from the East Blue had a wide variance. The lower bound was laughably low, but the upper limit reached near the peak of the world. The newer generation setting out from there i...

"Damn it, what the hell kind of Devil Fruit user are you!?"
After yet another failed attack, the Golden Lion finally lost it. If Kaito had just happened to eat a superior Devil Fruit, that would've been one thing—but what was with all these different powers?
Facing the Golden Lion's question, Kaito put on a thoughtful expression and the Golden Lion's clothes suddenly exploded. His exposed skin was covered in blood.
Caught off guard without time to coat his body in Armament...

The Golden Lion glanced at the corpse of the small fry on the ground and waved his hand for someone to clean it up.
Once the mess was dealt with, he returned to his seat, his eyes drifting toward the window where a few savage beasts prowled outside.
Seeing those ferocious creatures lifted his spirits somewhat. These beasts were the product of his efforts over the past few years. Once the time was right, he planned to unleash them on the East Blue—the greater the destruction, the...

Some of the bar's patrons couldn't help but laugh when they heard Kaito mention it would be raining for the next few days.
"What a joke. Foosha Village hardly sees rain all year. How could he be so sure it's going to rain?"
"Exactly. He says it'll rain and expects us to believe it? Who does he think he is?"
"Kids these days love to talk big!"
Makino listened to their chatter, growing more and more uncomfortable. In her eyes, Kaito was a young man with both talent and r...

"Revolutionary Army?"
Ace looked at Kaito, confused. He hadn't really looked into this organization before and didn't understand why Kaito brought it up now.
Kaito didn't bother explaining what the Revolutionary Army was. Instead, he glanced at Luffy and said:
"Sabo was rescued by the leader of the Revolutionary Army. His name is Monkey D. Dragon—this guy's father."
"Luffy's father?!"
Ace turned to Luffy in shock, only to find Luffy looking just as dumbfounded....

"I don't know what he is to me! I just know he's a bastard!"
At the mention of Roger's name, Ace reacted like a cat whose fur had been set on fire.
Kaito didn't show much of a response to Ace's outburst. He simply nodded in agreement and said casually,
"He really was a bastard. The so-called Great Pirate Era is basically his doing. Every lowlife and scumbag now wants to be a pirate. Maybe you should look into how many families have been destroyed by this sea trash."

"Where... am I? Luffy?"
Ace slowly opened his eyes, groggy and disoriented. He didn't know how much time had passed, but it was already dark. The moment his vision cleared, Luffy's face appeared in front of him.
As he registered what he was seeing, a rush of blood surged through his body and he began trembling violently.
What was left of Luffy was just a head—his eyes shut tight. His arms, legs, and torso were all tightly bound up and placed next to Ace.
"Luffy!!"

Before leaving, Kaito still couldn't help but ask Makino one more time,
"Shanks and Luffy came here?"
"Yeah. A bunch of mountain bandits came that day too. They beat up Luffy!"
"That makes sense now!"
"What does?"
"Uh, I mean… What happened to those mountain bandits in the end?"
"Of course they were arrested by Garp-san!"
Garp?! Wait, was he even supposed to show up at that time?
Kaito felt like everything was spiraling out of control and cont...

After recalling the Multi-Headed Dog to the Animal Path's summoning realm, Kaito cast a glance at the massive bird trembling nearby, considering what to do with it.
The Animal Path already had a bird-type summon, but it wasn't as large as this one. Judging by the attack it had launched on him earlier, this bird was fairly strong—possibly because it had devoured those pirates.
Sensing that its fate now hung on Kaito's whim, the bird's face twisted into a fawning smile. It lowered...

Having landed safely on this strange little island, Kaito took a moment to survey his surroundings.
All around were wrecked ships—clearly merchant or pirate vessels that had been dragged in by the currents surrounding the island.
Currents, giant birds, shipwrecks… these elements clustered around a single island felt oddly familiar to Kaito. He had the nagging feeling he'd heard of this place before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall where.

East Blue, aboard the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Kaito had ultimately decided to make a trip to the East Blue—partly to collect materials for his Deva Path puppet, and partly to give Luffy a bit of an education.
Of course, Kaito wasn't deluded enough to think he could turn Luffy around. The only person truly suited for that job was another anime protagonist: Naruto. Didn't that guy basically master the art of talking-no-jutsu?
Unfortunately, bringing Naru...

After finishing the treatment, Kaito dispelled the ROOM space and waved to Corazon in the distance, signaling that he could come over.
Corazon, seeing Kaito's gesture, rushed over at a sprint. He hurried to Law's side, picked him up, and examined him over and over again.
When he saw the white spots on Law's face had completely disappeared, Corazon was overcome with emotion. He shouted loudly at Law, who was still being held up in the air by him:

Inside the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku looked kindly at the man standing before him—Corazon—and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Welcome back to the Marines, Rosinante."
Corazon was deeply moved. This time, he had truly come back from the brink of death. Ever since his father was shot and killed by his older brother, he had become a complete orphan. Sengoku had taken him in and raised him as his own.
To Corazon, Sengoku was already like a real father. He had taught him how t...

Kaito used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to give Kalifa and Ain an X-ray, then locked eyes with the two women and said softly:
"Swap."
Shwoop! Kalifa and Ain instantly switched places. The two of them stared at each other in confusion, completely clueless as to what had just happened.
Because Kaito's Op-Op Fruit powers are activated through the Rinnegan, there was no need for hand signs—he only had to lock eyes with his target. It was incredibly convenient.

With the power of the Pop-Pop Fruit fully absorbed, Kaito retrieved the remaining three Devil Fruits from the table and stored them back into the Door-Door space. Then, he pulled out a single box.
Opening it, a heart-shaped red fruit was revealed—the Ope-Ope Fruit.
Seeing it, both Kalifa and Ain stopped munching on their snacks and leaned in closer to examine the Devil Fruit that was valued at a staggering five billion Belly.
There was no denying it—this fruit was beauti...

Tsuru reported the mission's outcome to Sengoku.
When he heard that even Kaido had gotten involved in the incident, Sengoku broke into a cold sweat. He knew exactly how terrifying Kaido's strength was.

With a thunderous boom from the sky, "Kaido" once again descended onto Onigumo's warship.
Onigumo, who had just been flung by him, had crashed into the ship's cabin and was likely unconscious by now.
The soldiers aboard Onigumo's ship surrounded "Kaido" with weapons raised. Without even glancing at them, "Kaido" unleashed a wave of Conqueror's Haki, instantly knocking them all flat to the deck.
Scanning his surroundings, "Kaido" searched for Onigumo's office. From Onigumo's ...
