Chapter 252: Nami was captured, Zoro was seriously injured, and the Straw Hat Pirates were in desperate situation!
Kaido's huge dragon body seemed to be imprisoned.
next second.

A hideous crack tore open the dragon scales on the abdomen, extending for several meters, and blood spurted out.

The tornado was cut open,

Kaido realized it belatedly and stopped his action. His huge dragon body quickly shrank and turned into a dragon-man form.

He reached out his hand and touched a tiny scar on his chest.

His face was full of disbelief.

"You actually hurt me?"

Kaido looked at the blood on his fingers and was unable to recover for a long time.

Ever since he was injured by Kozuki Oden, he has never been injured again, especially in the Blue Dragon form, which is his strongest defensive state.

"I'm sorry, I neglected you earlier."

Kaido clenched the thorn iron rod, turned his head, looked at Zoro who was corroded by the ghost energy and couldn't move, and said: "What a fierce sword! Tell me your name!"

"Nonoroa Zoro!"

Zoro turned around with difficulty and stared at Kaido.

"Have the guts!"

"I'll remember you. Let me use the strongest body in the world to end you!"

Kaido raised the thorny iron rod and hit Zoro with a powerful blow.

Thunder gossip!

Zoro raised the blade with difficulty, but was blown away by the huge force. The whistling sound of the air was heard in his ears, and he fell straight into the sea.

Kaido laughed wildly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to die, kid. My name is Kaido, the governor of the Beast Pirates!"

"See how weak you are, and then submit to me. I will be waiting for you on Onigashima Island above Wano Country!"

An extremely weak head of green algae floated on the sea.

He was on the verge of his limit and barely managed to take out a bottle of life-restoring potion to prolong his life, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up again.

He could only let the waves wash him back to the shore, and then be handcuffed by Kaido.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Kaido turned his head and stared at Nami and Sanji, who had sad and angry faces.

Although it has nothing to do with the Animal Fruit, he is also very interested in Nami's abilities and brings her back to Onigashima as a collection.

Magic acid rain!

Lava potion bottle!

The earth turned into a sea of ​​fire like magma, boiling with hot magma bubbles.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and highly corrosive acid rain continued to fall, blocking Kaido's way.

After releasing two large-scale control skills,

Nami quickly picked up the unconscious Luffy, stuffed him into Sanji's arms, and whispered: "From what Kaido said, he won't kill me and Zoro for the time being. Take Luffy and run quickly, and find a chance to save us!"

"But, Nami-san..."

Sanji wanted to refuse, but seeing Nami's determined eyes,
He carried Luffy until Nami's figure was getting farther and farther away. Then he punched the tree trunk angrily and growled, "What kind of chef am I if I can't even protect the woman I love?!"

Until Sanji walked away,
Nami forced a smile on her face and said, "Boss Kaido, I am willing to surrender."

"good."

Kaido saw the obedient Nami and nodded with satisfaction. He also put special shackles on her and said, "You two, take me to find the game merchant!"

He did not forget his original purpose of coming to the East China Sea.

Zoro's face was gloomy and he didn't want to pay attention to Kaido, but Nami kicked him quietly.

Nami laughed and said, "Boss Kaido, we don't know where the game merchant is. He only appears after we hunt down the pollution lord."

"I also want to become a player of the reincarnation game, what should I do?"

Nami said very obediently: "Eat the contract fruit, and you can become a player after completing the task."

Anyway, these are things that everyone in Donghai knows.

Even if he didn't say it, Kaido would be able to find out quickly, so it would be better to say it out loud to show his obedience and lower the other party's defense.

Take the opportunity to escape.

Kaido asked, "Do you have the Contract Fruit?" Nami quickly shook her head and said, "Game merchants will continue to spread the Contract Fruit, just like the Devil Fruit, you need luck to get it."

"Then take me to a larger town nearby."

Kaido turned over and boarded the Merry and sat on the deck.

The two men were dragged onto the boat in shackles. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to sail silently.

Hoo ho ho.
Soon, Kaido fell into a deep sleep.

The two wanted to break free from the shackles, but found that they couldn't do it at all. Kaido would wake up at the slightest movement.

Sailing all the way,
Kaido unscrupulously destroyed all the pirate ships and naval warships he saw, and captured everyone on the Merry.

Among them are players and ordinary people.

"You are all my collection. Fight as much as you want, and then the truly strong ones will emerge. Even the candidates for the big board can be changed!"

Kaido is such a crazy guy.
He doesn't care about loyalty at all, it's the complete law of the jungle. As long as he is in charge, he has countless ways to make the new pirates loyal.

Explosive collars were put on Zoro and Nami's necks.

It’s hard to imagine that Kaido would even bring these things with him when he goes out.

He smiled cruelly, sat at the highest point of the deck, looked down at the imprisoned guys, and said, "As for the losers?"

Throw out an explosive collar casually.

Boom.

The sea surface was blown into holes, and if it was destroyed directly at the neck, no one would survive.

"You two are my favorite brats. You must fight in pairs in every round and resist all their attacks!"

Kaido laughed maliciously.

Although he was a big man, he was not a fool, and he could not hide the fact that the two men were planning to escape.

Since you are unwilling to join Kaido's army, you can only accept your punishment.

He learned this trick from that kid Quinn. It was said that Quinn often played this game with the slaves in the mining farm. Most of the slaves would completely surrender after a few rounds.

Let’s see, how many rounds can these two guys last?

"Are you kidding me, Boss Kaido? How can we possibly defeat so many people?"

Nami looked around and swallowed.

Many of these people are players, and there are also multi-million-level pirates who come from the Grand Line to look for the Fruit of the Contract.

It's fine to fight alone.

She believed in her own and Zoro's strength, but if they were to be besieged, they would be restricted from being knocked out of the ring.

With this level of difficulty, they simply couldn't hold out for long.

"If you win, you will be the real Beasts Pirates. If you lose, you will be the real Beasts Pirates."

Kaido did not continue.
The collar that just exploded foreshadowed the outcome.

the other side,
Usopp and Luffy slowly woke up in the West Rob Village.
Sanji, who was guarding on the side, didn't look any better with his anxious expression.

After learning that Zoro and Nami were both captured by Kaido, Luffy forced himself to stand up and said, "I'm going to find Kaido and rescue Nami and Zoro!"

"We can't defeat Kaido."

"I don't care, I just want to defeat Kaido and save Nami and Zoro!"

boom!
A punch hit Luffy's cheek hard.

Sanji clenched his fists, frowned and looked at Luffy, and said, "What's going on, Luffy, don't tell me you didn't feel it, you've become very strange now!"

Luffy used to look silly like he does now, but he is actually very smart inside.

Or is it that there is fineness within the coarseness?

I like adventure, yearn for freedom, have the courage and confidence to realize my dreams, I don’t like listening to stories, I don’t like preaching to others, and I will not be disturbed by the outside world.

If they encounter a large navy, they will run away. If they encounter a powerful enemy that they cannot defeat, they will give in. No matter how desperate the situation is, they will think about countermeasures instead of rushing forward recklessly.

This is the reason why they are willing to follow Luffy and become members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"I don't know!"

Luffy was beaten and shook his head with a blank look.
