APJ Chapter 220 Disrupting Kaido’s enthusiasm

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


Originally, Yamato was very happy because Kaido had never played with her in all these years. But after the game started, she realized that this game was completely different from what she had imagined.

Whether they could evade or not was irrelevant. A group of four or five-year-old children had no possibility of avoiding Kaido’s attack, even if it was just a snowball, it could be a deadly weapon in Kaido’s hands.

The snowball that broke the little tree earlier was an example. If Kaido wanted to hit them, they couldn’t dodge it no matter what. However, he controlled the force he used.

Those snowballs hitting them would leave bruises and pain, but they wouldn’t be life-threatening. It was just to make them feel the threat of death and scare them a little.

The snowballs hitting their bodies were meant to make them understand that this was not a joke and that they needed to exert all their strength at all times.

One snowball accurately hit Yamato’s butt, and since the weather in Ringo is always snowy, it  made the ground slippery. She slipped and fell due to the impact of the snowball.

The next snowball narrowly missed her cheek and smashed into the snow.

“Get up and keep dodging! The enemy won’t stop attacking just because you’re lying down. They will stab you in the stomach to make sure you’re really dead! The next one won’t miss, Yamato, get up!”

Afterwards, she managed to dodge the second snowball, but her movements were very ungraceful. She rolled and crawled to avoid Kaido’s attacks, but this made Kaido smile.

“Very good, that’s the spirit! On the battlefield, you have to do whatever it takes. Only the absolute strong have the right to talk about principles in battle. Right now, you’re not strong enough!”

While lecturing Yamato, Kaido didn’t stop throwing snowballs. The first one to get knocked down was Maria. Although White and Kaido were from the same country, there was a significant difference between them. Maria’s physique was far less powerful than Yamato’s.

Next was Jack. Being a fishman, his stamina was abundant, and his strength was ten times that of an ordinary human. However, he wasn’t agile enough, and even if Kaido held back, he was still an easy target and was eventually knocked down.

After her companions fell, all of Kaido’s firepower was focused on Yamato.

“Ah!!! Father, time’s up! It’s time!” To indicate the time, Kaido had purposely hung a watch on a tree behind them. As soon as the minute hand completed its final lap, Yamato excitedly shouted.

“Oh? It’s true.”

Just as Yamato breathed a sigh of relief, Kaido threw another snowball at her.

“Father?!”

“The second round begins! This is the battlefield, Yamato. You must understand that you can’t trust anything the enemy says, and right now, I am your enemy!”

This time, Kaido started throwing snowballs with both hands, significantly increasing the firepower.

“Help! Someone save me!”

“Go ahead and scream. No one will help you this time. Even if you call Arceus, it’s useless.”

This time, he aimed for her legs. After Yamato fell once again, he waited for her to get back up. But this time, she didn’t dodge. Instead, she formed a snowball and threw it back, although the strength behind it was weak. Kaido didn’t dodge and let the snowball hit him squarely in the face.

“Father, as you said, this is a snowball fight, and I’m going to fight back!”

“Worororo, well done, Yamato! That’s the spirit!”

“Mr. Kaido, excuse me, but there’s trouble at our doorstep.”

Kaido was about to discuss the topic of war with Yamato, considering that a snowball fight was also a form of battle. However, at this time, Shayna landed on the side and stopped him.

“What’s the matter?” Kaido was displeased since he was just getting into it.

“A group of pirates has landed at the port and robbed Kojiro’s recent batch of goods and some money.”

Wano Country primarily uses gold and silver for transactions, and wherever these things went, they were considered hard currency. It was different from the currency in Skypiea; No one wants their currency Extol.

It was naturally the work of the Gecko Pirates. Beasts Pirates’ people stationed there were no match for them. Moria hadn’t stormed Enies Lobby or beaten up Celestial Dragons, but his bounty was a testament to his strength and threat.

As the only high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates remaining in Wano Country, this matter naturally fell into Shayna’s hands.

She had initially intended to investigate the situation, but she just happened to see Kaido. Since he was close to the port, she came to inform Kaido.

However, this disrupted Kaido’s enthusiasm. He was initially quite pleased to see his daughter growing little by little and had planned to let Yamato experience the cruelty of the world.

“Shayna, you keep an eye on Yamato and the others. You don’t need to worry about what’s happening over there.”

“Mr. Kaido, are you saying..”

“Umm, I’ll go there myself. Are there any of our men nearby?”

“Yes, although there are no officers, more than 200 elite individuals have already gathered, some of whom have been bestowed with abilities from Lord Arceus.”

“That should be enough.” Saying that, Kaido headed directly towards the direction of the port, which was a relief for Yamato.

“You will regret this! You have no idea what you’ve done! This is the territory of the Beasts Pirates. Boss Kaido and Lord Arceus won’t let you off!”

At the supply station in Ringo, a pirate collapsed on the ground. The towering man before them was too strong; they were no match for him.

“Kaido? Arceus? Who are they? I’ve never heard of them.”

“That’s right! Captain Moria is a man who is destined to become the Pirate King. How could a man of such stature, with a bounty of 320 million, fear other pirates?”

“320 million? Just some idiot from Paradise. You’ll soon realize how ignorant you are!” If Moria was a well-known pirate, he wouldn’t be so clueless. In the Beasts Pirates, that amount would make one just an officer.

But he had never heard of Moria’s name, which could only mean that he was a rookie who had just entered the New World as only such people dare to casually make such bold statements.

However, Moria didn’t fear his threats. Instead, he swung his sword at the man’s feet, and the connection between his shadow and body was severed. A struggling shadow was captured by Moria, while the man had already passed out.

The good news was that Ringo was currently experiencing snowy weather, and the clouds blocked the sunlight, preventing him from instantly turning to ash.

That was Moria’s ability, the Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit, a powerful ability that allows him to manipulate people’s shadows.

Currently, he doesn’t even need scissors. Just with a single knife, he could directly sever the connection of the shadow. Then, he put the shadow into a small bottle and hung it inside his coat. It was also part of his power.

“Kishishishi, where should I go next?”

“Captain, someone is coming! A man with horns on his head.”
