Chapter 237

Sengoku took a deep breath as his fleet was moving silently in the territory of the deceased Big Mom. The fleet wasn't big, but it contained the top of their forces. The admirals, the candidates, and many strong vice admirals and rare admirals. Some legendary marines were here too. Garp was rubbing his nose while Z was clenching fists.

The ships had moved here sneakingly after they had gotten a report that Kaido's pirates moved here.

Sengoku's plan of making the Gambler and the Stronger Creature in the World fight had worked.

Now, all they have to do is to wait for a few days, until both sides exhaust each other, before the navy attack and end two Yonkos. That will leave the sick Whitebeard, who is about to die soon. And thus, the Great Pirate Era will end right here and right now.

What gave them confidence is that they know Josh.

They know his powers, from fire to light to ice and his Demon Transformation.

And they had his records when he had fought Mihawk.

"The Gambler…" Tsuru, an old woman who had been at the time, half-closed her eyes.

"What's with him."

"Something is wrong. He had been strong, but not to the level that allows him to kill a Yonko. He must have some trick in his sleeve."

"You know nothing, Granny," Kizaru said with a mocking smile as he raised his leg.

"What?"

"Josh's strongest point isn't that he is powerful."

"What's then."

"He is a trickster," Kizaru said. "Although Akainu hid while using awaken, the trickster pretended to leave the island. Akainu let his guard, and he was dead."

"You mean, just like you let your guard down."

"Believe me." Aokiji interrupted. "We broke him into pieces, and he sneaked on us."

"Tsk. To

Kizaru said. "While holding us both on equal ground, you know what said. 'Heal your wounds, get strong, after that, we'll settle the matter."

He clenched his fist tightly. The Admiral had always been a mocking person. He had never gotten serious before in his life. Even when people said Akainu was the strongest, he kept his mouth shut only to troll his friend.

The old woman lowered her head.

Aokiji smiled. "Josh and Kaido. Both are immortal-like, have regeneration (Josh can regenerate in instant.). My bet will take a week at least, and it will be our best shot to strike by then."

While the marines were waiting for the end.

Robin and the rest of the girls, along with Linlin's children stood up on the edge of the Totto Land.

Kaido's ships were moving toward them, with Kaido standing up on one of the ships.

"I should fight him now." Hancock clenched her fists as she smirked like a Devil. "We should do it."

"Hold on." Robin smiled. "I've heard that he is buying something called SMILE. Most of his crew will die once they sink."

"What do you mean?" Hancock asked.

"Hancock, unleash it," Robin said as she scanned them. "I'll do it the old style."

"Alright. I don't know what you are thinking of." Hancock looked in the sea's direction. A momentum was unleashed from her body, reaching the ships of the pirates. Waves started raising. On the tip of the ship, Kaido and his commanders were standing still, bothered by the Haki. Of course, the ones behind Kaido with weak will started falling or had difficulty breathing.

Kaido opened his eye, red lightning covering him, and he unleashed a wave to

Robin smirked. The Haki was meant to distract the pirates.

From under the water, many copies of Robin appeared, combining into a 100 meters long giant with many arms around it.

"Asura mod." Robin declared.

The hands, covered in red lightning and covered by Armament Haki, wrapped around the ships, and dragged them down while tightening their grip.

The ships were dragged down. Kaido jumped high with a few of his crew who were elites. Still, they caught slight damage since she used Conqueror Haki even if it wasn't direct.

The ships were crushed into pieces and got dragged down along their crews.

Kaido lowered his head, seeing the giant down. In instant, the sky was covered in black clouds. Kaido's body started growing up while blue scales covered it until he turned into a giant eastern dragon.

Kaido opened his mouth widely, ready to shoot a beam at the giant. But in instant, the giant woman vanished.

"And here you go, most of his forces are gone for now." Robin turned to Hancock and clapped her hands.

There were few survivors here and there. Without having to cross her arms, Robin closed her eyes and unleashed her observation on Haki.

On every survivor, a pitch-black large appeared around their neck. There was a man flying who looked so strong after turning into his Zoan form. But despite that, his neck couldn't handle it. Under the water, there was another man who was unable to move, a large one as well. But the arms surprised him and twisted his neck.

Linlin's crew turned their eyes, jaws dropped in awe as they stared at how she handled the crew of Kaido in so short time.

Well, they know that this woman forms an army from herself with each one being dangerous.

Robin looked up to Kaido, thinking if she should risk trying to kill him. But this is Kaido, a man who tried to suicide and failed.

It's worth a shot.

Kaido opened his mouth in instant, and a large beam was unleashed toward Robin.

At that moment, a transparent energy demon stood up in front of the beam. He was grey in colour. Opening its mouth, he started sucking the dragon's breath.

The water was steaming from the heat of the dragon's breath, creating a wall of smoke.

The dragon stopped shooting the beam and stared down, ready to see how he had destroyed the land. "Gambler! Be a man and get out!"

When the steam faded, Kaido saw how everyone was standing in their places. Some demon-like creature was patting its stomach.

"Gluttony," Robin called. "I thought you were playing cards with the others."

"I sensed master here. So I thought that he may have a meal." Gluttony said. "It's delicious. Hey! You! Give me more of that!"

Hancock paid attention to the most important detail. "Joshy!"

Josh and the girls that went with him appeared from thin air. Josh was stretching his arms up and walked slowly. From thin air, a katana appeared.

"Gluttony, calm down," Josh said.

"But I'm hungry?" Gluttony replied.

"Go to the kitchen." Josh stopped walking and lifted his eyes, staring at the colossal dragon that was covering the sky.

"Hey, you. Why are you attacking me!" Josh screamed at Kaido.

Kaido, angry, angry that he lost his Poneglyph, angry that his crew were defeated like trash, angry that he lost his army, laughed.

"You have the audacity of a whore to ask me why I am here," Kaido said.

"Kaido! How dare you attack my place." A giant pink-haired woman walked forward. She was having a stick on her back.

Kaido, looking down at the new figure, forgot his anger. His eyelids shook.

Josh looked at Kaido, and he sensed the change.

[Ding, you have a new Gamble.]

Josh heard the notification, and he saw what was in.

Usually, his enemies' schemes and the system always find the trick.

"Son of the bitch!" Josh cursed suddenly after he saw what was in the gamble.
