Chapter 71: Kaido's Solicitation

"Oohhhhhhh..." Kaido's wanton, grinning laughter echoed in the gloomy prison, reverberating... reverberating... Well, it has been echoing for a long time. Then the laughter gradually became lower and finally disappeared. The arc on his face was stiff because he found that the two badly injured little devils in front of him looked at him with an expression that suggested they thought he was an idiot, unmoved. 

Kaido: "..."

"Did you... didn't hear what I said?" Kaido gritted his teeth, his vertical pupils suddenly staring at the dying Bullet, and said fiercely, "Douglas Bullet, I know you, and I know you well. You were born in the 'Nation of Endless Wars' in the Grand Line. Because you were betrayed by the superiors of the country and the army, you destroyed your own country in a rage, and you have been wanted by the World Government ever since. Marine has been eyeing you, and even sent two guys called 'monsters' to deal with you..." 

Having said that, he glanced at Darren, and then continued to trick Bullet, "This sea has no room for you! Otherwise, even if you can survive this time, Marine will definitely send stronger forces to deal with you next time! Only I can give you enough shelter... Become my subordinate, whether it is the CP department of the World Government or the Marine, nothing can do anything to you! How about it? Join my Beasts Pirates, I can give you the position of the big board... I know you are eager to fight, eager to become stronger! And I will launch the biggest war in the world. That is the place where you can best use your talents. Blood will be spilled on the battlefield, and your name, Douglas Bullet, will be resounded throughout the world!"

Kaido became impassioned and let out a thunderous laugh. This guy has done his homework... After hearing Kaido's words of "recruiting his subordinates," Darren had such an idea in his mind. Kaido, a guy who looks rough on the surface, is actually extremely shrewd and scheming. In the original plot, he used the Wanokuni general Kurozumi Orochi to destroy the Kozuki family and stole Wanokuni, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rich in resources, as his military base. In order to subdue and recruit the "Era of Evil," he also planned a "coincidence" such as "jumping off Sky Island to commit suicide" to prove his strength.

Darren's heart skipped a beat. Since Kaido knows Bullet's information so well, then... his appearance on that island may not be the "coincidence" he said at all! "Be my subordinate, Bullet!" Kaido held out his big hand toward Bullet. However, what he met were a pair of contemptuous eyes. Bullet, leaning against the wall like a puddle of mud, his body was covered in cuts and bruises, and his breath was so weak that it seemed about to give out at any moment. But he was grinning. 

He bared his bloodstained teeth and smiled proudly. "I reject," he sneered. 

Kaido was taken aback. "Why?" There was anger in his tone. 

"Why?" Bullet gasped, as if every breath brought him to the brink of death. On his pale face, a pair of crimson eyes shone with viciousness and rebellion like a ghost. "Although your aura and strength are stronger than anyone I've ever seen... But this so-called strength alone is not enough to make me, Douglas Bullet, surrender!" He mocked, "My target is Gol D. Roger!! Kaido of the Beasts, no matter how strong you are, are you as strong as him?" 

Kaido's expression froze. His expression changed, he pretended not to hear Bullet's question, and turned to look at Darren next to him. "Rogers Darren!! I know you, I know people like you very well!!" 

Hey hey hey hey, you don't have any dialogue... The corner of Darren's mouth twitched.

In the darkness, Kaido didn't see Darren's subtle movements and began to try to persuade him to surrender. The more he spoke, the more passionate he became, as if he was gradually regaining his confidence. 

"When you were in North Blue, you were considered scum and a scumbag by everyone! Greedy for power, embezzling money, raising an army, and being lewd and obscene... People like you are more suited to be pirates than Marines!" 

"Join me, Darren! Whatever the Marines can offer you, I can match it! Money, power, troops, territory, and countless beauties! Whatever you desire, I can provide!" 

"I see deep ambition in your eyes! The most important thing is that as a pirate, you won't need to wear those hypocritical clothes, and you can seize whatever you want openly and honestly!" 

"No one can restrain you! You can destroy, occupy, and own everything!" 

"This is the greatest freedom of a pirate, the ultimate right of a pirate!" 

Kaido's stern vertical pupils shone brightly in the darkness. 

"Join my ranks! A spot on the Beasts Pirates' signboard is yours! The open sea waits for you!" 

He stretched out his big hand towards Darren with pride on his face. 

Darren looked at Kaido in front of him, and his expression became a little strange. It has to be said, Kaido is truly unconventional, even attempting to recruit a Marine. However, after considering it, he found it understandable. After all, my reputation is indeed terrible... 

"I must admit, what you said... really excites me," Darren suddenly took a long breath and spoke slowly. 

Bullet gave him a surprised look. 

"So you agreed?" Kaido's eyes widened with an expectant smile on his face. 

"No, I refuse," Darren shook his head. 

Kaido's smile froze. 

"Why!? Isn't being a pirate appealing!? Are those bad hobbies all fake!?" he roared in rage, shaking the entire prison. 

"No, those are all true," Darren raised his head and said in a deep voice. "Money, power, troops, territory, women... I want them all!" 

Several black lines appeared on Bullet's forehead. 

"Then why!?" Kaido asked through gritted teeth. 

"...But I prefer to use my identity as a Marine to seize these things." Darren's eyes were filled with the light of unwavering faith. "It makes me feel more excited." 

Bullet:... 

Kaido:... 

"You damn brat!! You're playing tricks on me!!" 

After Kaido was stunned for a moment, he instantly realized he had been tricked. His indescribable rage turned into a roar, and the entire prison rattled as the walls and iron bars developed tiny cracks. 

"You are playing tricks on me!!" 

He picked up the huge mace "Bazhaijie" in one hand, and a pair of vertical pupils quickly glowed with a crazy red light. 

The moment he held the Eight Rings in his hand, black and red lightning even appeared in the void around Kaido. 

Under the impact of Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, Darren and Bullet's faces turned pale, their bodies swayed, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths. 

"Boss Kaido, calm down, calm down!!" 

At this moment, a fat figure like a huge meatball stumbled in, hugging Kaido's arm with an anxious look on his face. 

"Their physical condition is so bad, if you hit them, they will probably die on the spot!" 

The chubby fat man bit his cigar and shouted with an exaggerated expression. He wore a pair of sunglasses, and his blond hair was tied into a whip.
