Chapter 52: The Day the Broken Sword is Reforged, the Day the Flame Emperor Returns

"you win!"

Jhin's low voice sounded. For a swordsman, he would be deemed a failure if the sword slipped out of his hand, let alone if the sword was cut off in his hand, which was an even greater defeat.

"Uh~ The winner is Lord Calamity!!!"

The referee who was dozing off nearby woke up and quickly stood up and announced.

Kaido Laoden, who was guiding his daughter Yamato in her training from a distance, heard the noise here and rushed back.

"Ugh, I declare that Jello is the leader of the Three Calamities and concurrently the Deputy Governor of the Beasts!!"

Kaido's passionate voice sounded, and all the beast cadres present were convinced. After all, he did win with his strength, and there was nothing to say.

The "Sixth Emperor" hung his head and pretended to applaud. Because he was the first to be eliminated, he became the last one among the beast cadres and faced the risk of being eliminated at any time.

"If I could be as tall and strong as Brother Jello, Brother Quinn would never be able to pick me up and throw me out again."

Jack looked at the seven-meter-tall Ghost King Jello standing in the center of the battlefield, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"A broken sword, a broken dream."

In stark contrast to Jello who enjoyed everyone's love, Jhin was sitting alone in a quiet corner. He raised the handle of the broken blade in his hand, stared at it for a long time, and finally chose to throw it away.

His heart was filled with bitterness, and the swordsman's heart was cracked like the broken blade on the ground.

Surrounded by everyone, Jello noticed Jhin's sword throwing action, but he did not take any action for the time being.

Everything went according to the rules and procedures, and Zero successfully became the Deputy Governor of Beasts. This time, he really got the pie that Kaido had painted for him two years ago.

After a grand banquet, everyone in the Beasts Pirates was drunk. Taking this opportunity, Zero quietly picked up the broken blade and put it away.

Early the next morning, Kaido called Zero to his room.

"Hey, I heard from Quinn that you've been getting close to a charming female ninja recently."

"That woman seems to have the ability to make people grow quickly. Could you do the same thing?"

Kaido patted the Demon King Zero, waiting for his answer.

"Ah...?" Zero opened his mouth, not knowing how to talk to Kaido.

"Well, even if you don't say it, I understand."

"A guy like you who is naturally ambitious must have known your physical condition in advance, so you want to gain that strength by growing up quickly."

Looking at the demon king in front of him, Kaido began to imagine himself.

"Mr. Kaido, you can do whatever you want."

For a moment, Jello didn't know how to explain.

"Jero boy, you should actually be twenty now, right?"

The expression on Kaido's face is intriguing.

"Yes!"

Zero nodded heavily. This was the only truth Kaido guessed.

"Since you chose to grow up quickly, you must want to take on the corresponding responsibilities."

"A brat like you, not being able to spread your fame across the world, would probably be very distressed, right?"

"After a while, I'll help you do something big."

"Let this world feel the shock from the Beast Calamity!!"

"Our Vice Governor of the Beasts Pirates cannot even offer a bounty!!"

"Kid Zero, you are not afraid of being wanted by the World Government, right?" After thinking about it, there was uncontrollable madness in Kaido's eyes.

"That kind of bounty basically has no harm except for making the pirates famous and winning over more forces."

Jello's meaning was clear and understandable. After all, many pirates were not afraid of their bounties rising, but were unwilling to see their bounties fall.

"Well, go do your thing first, Jero. When I find a way to make you famous quickly, I'll let the emperor inform you."

Kaido said this with a smile on his face, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Um………"

Zero responded absentmindedly, knowing that his rapid growth had been completely smoothed over in front of Kaido.

However, he had more important things on his mind.

"Mr. Kaido, according to my investigation, Kozuki Oden is not only a member of Roger's crew, but also a sworn brother of the great pirate Newgate."

"What do you think Newgate would do if he knew about this?"

Zero looked at Kaido's face and asked curiously.

"How come you know everything?"

"You have such intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities even though you are entrenched in Wano Country. I admire you more and more."

Kaido first said to Zero with great joy.

Then, his expression suddenly froze.

"After this incident, even if the Beasts Pirates and Newgate become enemies, although it may not necessarily lead to a full-scale war, small-scale fights are inevitable."

"Maybe, when we meet, we can greet each other in the way the strong men of the old times did."

Kaido patiently finished his speculation and laughed. "Well, I actually want to be defeated by that man again..."

"All right………"

After hearing Kaido's words, Zero could only sigh that he was worthy of being a fighting maniac who would take the initiative to go to Marinford to be beaten many times in the future.

"It seems... my position as the deputy governor is not much different from that of the governor of beasts!"

Zero frowned. If Kaido went out to get beaten every day in the future, all the real power of the Beasts Pirates would fall into his hands.

With power comes greater responsibility.

…………

"Brother Jack, come here for a moment."

Jello pushed open his room and waved.

"Brother Jero, you're not going to find someone to beat me up again, are you?"

In contrast to the "bully at home", Warrior Jack is a coward when facing the Three Calamities.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Jello frowned and asked him.

Warrior Jack thought about it seriously and nodded subconsciously.

"Send these to the Flower Capital, and have Moria take you to Tenguyama Hichetsu to have them reforged."

"Tell Tenguyama Hichetsu that the quality of the reforged broken sword should be at least at the level of the Great Blade Twenty-one Works."

"If he can't do it, you will be responsible for making him understand where the bravery of Warrior Jack comes from. Got it?"

Jello pulled Warrior Jack to his side and asked him.

"clear!!"

Warrior Jack nodded heavily. Finally, Brother Jello stopped looking for someone to bully him and instead found someone for him to bully.

After receiving Jello's order, the warrior Jack happily set off on his journey.

Next, Zero asked his subordinates for the demon sword "Yanma" that Kozuki Oden left behind on Onigashima. In order to prevent this evil thing from absorbing the domineering aura in his body, he chose to hold it with his right hand covered with the Demon Armor of Despair.

Then, he picked up the big knife "Qiu Shui" and stabbed himself, actively looking for Abel after his defeat.

"Hey, Jhin."

"The wound you left on my body is still hurting!"

"And you act so indifferent, which really makes me angry. Once I gain the power to cut through your fire defense, I will challenge you again!"

Jello came to Jhin angrily and pointed out the injured part to him.

"Haha."

As a smart man, Jhin smiled from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, the haze of defeat was swept away, and Jello's position in his heart became higher.

"It seems I can't hide it from you. I have asked someone to reforge the broken blade. You can use this Yan Mo as a transitional weapon."

Jello also smiled and handed over the "Yan Mo" in his hand, and continued: "As a demon sword, if the master does not have the courage and strength to conquer it, it will turn around and devour the master."

"This is my way of avenging you for the brief scar you left on my body."
