The first half of the Grand Line, at Sabaody Archipelago!
This island is ruled by the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons, who are still in a state of intoxication, and the people on the island have no tension at all because of the riots in the sea.
It was quiet, various population auctions were held as scheduled, and the amusement park was full of laughter.
At a tavern in a lawless zone!
As the Marine's reputation fell to its lowest point, the Great Pirate Age gradually became more glorious.
This is the island that pirates must pass through when entering the New World, and it is full of various figures.
Human traffickers, bounty hunters, and pirates are all mixed together…
Occasionally, you can see big shots, such as Celestial Dragons, wandering around.
"tread!!"
Kaido, holding a wine gourd in his hand, walked into the tavern.
The originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet.
"Beasts… Pirate Group..."
"Kaido…"
"Azure Dragon Kaido..."
"Why...is he here?"
Many people showed expressions of horror and fear.
Seeing that Kaido walked straight to the bar without paying any attention to them, they cautiously backed out.
Kaido ordered a few glasses of strong wine under the boss's horrified look and was just about to take a few sips quietly.
"Big man, this is not the place for you to sit down!"
A drunken pirate with a thick upper body and a lower body as thin as a bamboo pole shouted while holding a wine glass.
"Huh?" Kaido suddenly stopped drinking wine; at this moment, he felt a little annoyed at the sudden appearance of the idiot who interrupted his interest.
Drinking is one of the things he values most, and he will be very annoyed if others interrupt him.
"Get away..."
With a faint glance at the strange-looking pirate, Kaido drank up his wine and was too lazy to deal with such an idiot.
However, not everyone has the ability to distinguish the strength of the enemy.
"Hahahaha, Monlika, are you being ignored?"
"He told you to go away; how can you tolerate this?"
A group of pirates who were also drunk and did not mind the excitement laughed at Monlika.
"You big guy..."
Monlika was furious. He didn't expect to be ignored—he had a bounty of 170 million Belly!
This has never happened in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Ho ho ho~"
Just when Monlika was about to burst into rebellion, a low, hoarse, and strangely charming laugh sounded throughout the tavern.
Completely drowning out all the noise in the noisy tavern.
"I almost laughed my head off, Azure Dragon Kaido? How can such a thing provoke you?!"
In the corner of the tavern, there was a man in red clothes sitting quietly, with an evil aura all over his body.
He wears red clothes, red trousers, a large dark red cape, and a blooming blue rose on the chest.
The palm of his left-hand holds a thin umbrella that resembles a weapon.
Patrick Redfield, better known as Red the Aloof!
Being able to sit here means that the rumors in the Grand Line in recent days may be true…
That is… the World Government's army was completely penetrated by him on his own!
Sitting with him was a very slovenly old man wearing slippers on his feet, with yellow and white hair.
It was Silver Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the conqueror of the sea.
Nowadays, it can be said that people from the previous era have become the remnants of the new era.
No matter how much hatred there is, they can put it aside temporarily and raise their glasses to each other.
Because only contemporaries and powerful people are qualified to have a head-on drinking conversation!
How many are left behind in retirement and death among the older generation?
They will become increasingly lonely.
Sooner or later, Kaishu will also face this situation. Maybe in the future, no one in the world will be able to talk to him on an equal footing or raise a toast to drink with him!
This is a fact that must be faced, a cruel price that must be paid after reaching the top!
Rayleigh's blond hair is already half-gray and draped over his shoulders.
Redfield is also a bit old. His aristocratic face has wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his whole body is full of twilight.
That is a symbol of time; no one can resist aging!
"Redfield, Rayleigh, Fuhihihi..."
"You two are indeed here."
Kaido gradually smiled. Being able to reveal his identity and sit here meant that Redfield and Rayleigh knew about his arrival.
He glanced indifferently at the pirates in the tavern, who fell into deathly silence due to shock and panic.
"Get out of here; there's no place for you trash to stay!"
"boom!!"
The pirates who were granted amnesty suddenly scattered in all directions; they almost rolled and crawled to get out.
Especially the group of pirates just now were completely frightened out of their drunkenness!!
Thinking of what they had just said, they felt frightened.
Who is that?
That was the vice-captain of Beasts Pirates, the man known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, Azure Dragon, Kaido.
They were actually provoking Kaido just now?!
They touched their chest and felt their intensely beating heart.
They cried out loudly in their heart... Fortunately, they ignored them as trash...
"Redfield, Rayleigh!"
Kaido glanced at the auras of the two of them and felt like a hero in their twilight years.
Especially Rayleigh; Kaido doesn't know if it's because of Roger's death or because he has realized his dream.
He gives people an old feeling!!
Kaido slowly walked towards the two of them with the wine in hand and sat down opposite them.
There was silence for a while; no one spoke first, and they all drank in silence.
It took a few minutes for Redfield to break the deadlock and look at Kaido's young face, whether with admiration or envy.
"Azure Dragon Kaido, we meet again...you are so young!"
"Hahahahaha, are you so envious, Redfield!" Rayleigh laughed, seemingly never caring about aging.
"As we age, isn't it a wonderful thing to see the rise of a new generation with our own eyes?"
"Maybe I will stay young forever."
Kaido said nonchalantly. Then, he raised his head and looked directly into Redfield's eye.
"Redfield, I heard that you defeated the Army in order to find a coveted Devil Fruit? I don't know if this news is true or false?"
"So what if it's real or fake?" Redfield asked elegantly before shaking the red wine glass in his hand.
"Could it be possible for you to ask the Beasts Pirates to help me find it?"
"I remember correctly what my elder brother once told me, no one can stay forever at the top of the sea."
Kaido stopped smiling: "As long as we are human, we will age and decline, just like you now!
"Don't you know what Marine over there is doing right now?"
"So what?"
"On the sea, there are many ways to keep people young!" Kaido said calmly.
"Such as the regression Devil Fruit, age Fruit, Op-Op Fruit, and so on. On our side, we have something called pure gold that can slow down or even stagnate aging. If you are interested, I can give it to you!"
Kaido sounded solicitous: "How about Redfield? Join the Beasts Pirates, and you can get everything you want!"
