Instant defeat!
Wano Country, Onigashima.
Headlines about Charlotte Linlin's attack on Nicholas's territory and the capture of Redfield spread throughout the world, and as someone aspiring to be like Joy Boy, Kaido naturally wouldn't miss any major news in the world.
"Hmm, did this bad guy really beat Jii-chan?"
A white-haired little girl with a horn growing on her head, carrying a wolf-tooth club on her back and wearing an obi, and wooden clogs, crawled on top of Kaido's head, couldn't help but point her little finger at Nicholas's photo in the newspaper, curious.
"Why do kids care about this stuff?"
Kaido glanced up at the white-haired little girl perched on his head, then reached up and lifted her by the back of her shirt to bring her in front of him.
"Have you completed your five hundred times of Thunder Bagua training today? You're going to inherit the Beasts Pirates in the future! If you're not strong enough, those guys won't be subdued!"
Upon hearing Kaido's words, the white-haired girl began to struggle wildly, clearly finding the daily training of five hundred times of Thunder Bagua to be a torment.
Even in the midst of her struggles, she swung her club down and accidentally hit Kaido in the face.
But Kaido didn't get angry at the injury; instead, he smiled like a proud father.
After all, Kaido was quite satisfied with this descendant of his, whether in talent or strength, she perfectly inherited his strengths.
"Go, complete today's training, young master!"
With that, Kaido tossed the white-haired girl away, and the girl adjusted her body in mid-air, landing perfectly on the ground.
After the white-haired girl was taken away, veins popped out on Kaido's face.
It could be said that both Jack and Queen were important forces of the Beasts Pirates, even the second in command and the most cultured member of the Beasts Pirates, yet they were both captured by Nicholas, which made Kaido extremely angry.
Originally, when he received news of Charlotte Linlin invading Nicholas's territory, Kaido was quite happy. After all, if Nicholas left, there would hardly be anyone who could match him in Hakumai.
But when he flew to the border of Hakumai after Nicholas left, he saw that figure with a dark green cloak standing in front of him.
"Dragon! ! !"
Kaido gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to chew up and swallow the owner of that name.
...
Meanwhile, above Coco Island, Nicholas was watching the town below, which was constantly engulfed in smoke.
The armed resistance force of Coco Island was within Nicholas's view.
Apart from a small number of normal humans and other races, the vast majority of armed forces were international chess pieces imbued with souls by Charlotte Linlin's Soru Soru no Mi ability.
These chess pieces, known as Homies, seemed to be the most basic military force in the Whole cake island, so their cost was low, their combat power was considerable, and they were highly cost-effective. They were distributed on the 34 islands under the jurisdiction of Bigmom to serve as basic armed forces.
Because they were imbued with souls, Nicholas could sense vitality from these chess pieces.
"Soldiers created by giving souls to inanimate objects? Devil Fruit abilities are truly miraculous powers."
As Nicholas observed the armed resistance force below, he could see the surprise and shock on their anthropomorphized faces when they faced the onslaught of his Thunder Bagua.
Although their strength couldn't compare to those of the strong members of the Charlotte Family, they were much stronger than ordinary people. However, when facing the Thunder Bagua, these international chess pieces seemed as fragile as paper.
Thump! Thump!
In just a few seconds, the international chess pieces stationed on Coco Island, as well as hundreds of members of the Big Mom Pirates, all fell to the ground, losing their breath.
Nicholas then withdrew his gaze from the fallen international chess pieces and turned his attention to the remaining armed forces in the center of Coco Island and their leader—Charlotte Counter.
"So, you're Big Mom's sixth son, Charlotte Counter. I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
Watching Counter struggling to resist the attacks of two Thunder clones, Nicholas slowly descended from the sky, mocking.
"Albert Nicholas! ! !"
While dodging the Thunder clones' attacks, Counter yelled angrily at Nicholas, who was now facing him. At the same time, his arms and fists were covered in Armament Haki, turning pitch black.
Then he bent his arms and leaned forward, blocking his face.
With a kick to the ground, he kicked off and, with a loud, dull sound of bones shattering, Counter's arm covered in Armament Haki twisted and deformed, then his arm continued to strike Nicholas's face.
Bang!
However with a muffled sound, Counter's sturdy body flew out like a cannonball.
In just a few seconds, Counter flew over half of the town, finally embedding himself into a small boulder, raising a large cloud of dust.
Seeing that Counter was on the verge of death...
And Nicholas, with an expressionless face, looked in the direction where Counter had flown, then flashed over to where Counter was not far away.
"This is... Counter-sama!?"
"Counter-sama, how could this happen...!!!"
As the residents of Coco Island gathered around curiously, they looked at the injured Counter with shock and horror.
Even though they knew that the invader's strength might be very strong, it was still difficult for them to accept the fact that Charlotte Counter, who seemed so powerful, could be easily defeated.
"Quick, save him!"
"If we save Counter-sama, maybe we can settle on Cake Island!"
Many people who reacted rushed forward excitedly, wanting to save Counter, who looked like he could die at any moment.
For these residents living in the Whole cake island, the closer they were to Cake Island, the better their living conditions.
In their eyes, Cake Island, the most prosperous core area of the Whole cake island, was almost equivalent to heaven. As long as they could settle on Cake Island, they would live happily ever after, without having to worry about food anymore.
