Chapter 1018 The Final Stage
This is the case with Law and Kidd's pirate group. Except for the two captains leading the group, the strength of the others is not enough for the New World. They do not have powerful fruit abilities, nor do they have commendable physical skills and domineering!
Therefore, Law and Kidd can only outsmart the alliance between the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates. With their fruit abilities, they can still do it if they are careful!
Especially Luo's surgery fruit, which is actually a space-type fruit ability. With the help of the concealment of space transfer, it can avoid many eyes.
Kidd's ability is also good. With the help of the characteristics of magnetism, he can make people fly silently in the air. If the two of them combine their abilities, there is still a great possibility that they can sneak into the storage place of the historical text of the signposts on Cake Island. Even if they are discovered in the end, it will not be difficult to leave!
On a day when Cake Island was out making large purchases, Law and Kidd took action, because Law knew that another banquet was going to be held on Cake Island. With Kaido and Big Mom's personalities, plus the disastrous defeat of Wano Country, they would definitely not return until they were drunk. This was also the best time for them to sneak in and copy the road signs!
They didn't have to wait for such a moment, but they didn't know exactly where the signposts were stored, so they needed time to search.
Then they alarmed King and Katakuri. Both of them knew what kind of person their boss was, so they didn't drink any alcohol. This was considered as an insurance for the team to avoid being caught in one fell swoop after everyone got drunk!
With the strength of Jinx and Katakuri, they were originally no match for Law and Kidd. Both of them are already quite old and there is not much room for improvement. This age is basically the peak of their strength. It would be great if they can maintain this peak in the years to come!
Therefore, they do not have the potential of Law and Kidd, the two leaders of the new era, so it is understandable that they are no match now. However, Katakuri can foresee the future and is immune to thousands of attacks. Jin is a special race with invincible defense and endless recovery ability. This is very tricky!
So Law and Kidd exchanged opponents. In Law's slaughterhouse, even if Katakuri had the ability to foresee the future, it was useless. No matter how he changed and dodged, he was always in Law's slaughterhouse and was always covered by Law's huge attack range, just like Monkey King who could not get out of the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata!
However, after Law noticed that Kaido and Big Mom had not appeared, he stopped fighting in the slaughterhouse. He also had his own aspirations and wanted to become strong. If he couldn't beat the Four Emperors, he might as well start with the Vice Emperor!
Kidd's abilities have little effect on Jhin. Even his ultimate move, the electromagnetic cannon, targets slower-moving people or objects. For an animal-type ability user like Jhin who can move and fly at high speed, the effect is not significant, so Kidd can only absorb some metal products and fight Jhin in close combat!
In this battle, Luo learned to foresee the future, but this was something he learned by taking advantage of the spatial domain of the slaughterhouse, and it did not seem pure enough!
But Luo only needed the help of the slaughterhouse in the beginning. After a long time and with experience, Luo was able to get rid of the assistance of the slaughterhouse, just like a child learning to ride a bicycle, the rear wheel of the bicycle will have two training wheels to prevent it from falling over. After a long time, the training wheels will be no longer needed, and the child will be able to ride well!
Kidd also gained something. He learned the technique of Domination during the battle. He had seen Straw Hat Boy and Kaido use Domination in battle. In the past two years or so, he had already been able to control and release the Conqueror's Haki with ease!
But Bachan never figured it out. True transmission is a single word, while false transmission is ten thousand books. Without anyone to teach him, he just couldn't figure it out!
Of course! Maybe it wasn't that he couldn't figure it out, because even if someone taught him, it wouldn't be easy to master the art of dominance overnight. You first need a direction, and then you can work tirelessly towards that direction to reap the rewards!
But without guidance, there's no specific direction. Even if you stumble upon the right direction, it's unlikely to yield immediate results. Domination isn't something you can learn overnight; it requires a high level of talent. So, do you continue with your doubts, or explore in a different direction?
Maybe Kidd once guessed the right direction, but when he didn't gain anything in a short period of time, he gave up on this path. All other paths were wrong, so naturally there would be no gains!
However, in the battle with Jinx, when Kidd was using Armament Haki to fight, he mistakenly wrapped the Domineering Haki around his iron fist. At that moment, Kidd finally had the correct and visible direction. Fighting is indeed the fastest way to become stronger. Jinx was eventually defeated by Kidd's Domineering Haki!
Even though Katakuri and King were defeated, Kaido and Big Mom were unable to wake up and were completely drunk. It can be seen that their defeat by the New Era in Wano Country was a big blow to them, making them somewhat unwilling to face reality and they could only numb themselves with alcohol!
Even King and Katakuri were no match for the two, let alone the others. Adding on to the two's fruit abilities, they couldn't even chase and intercept them. In the end, they still got the rubbing of Big Mom's signpost history text. Cake Island is so small, they will find it eventually!
After leaving Cake Island, Luo gave Kidd a copy of the road sign rubbing made by Zou. This was the condition they had agreed on when they formed a temporary alliance!
Up to now, there are seven forces that have the ability to compete for the great treasure. The four emperors' groups have three rubbings of the signposts. The Straw Hat Pirates found it by themselves, the Cross Guild got it as a gift from Luffy, Red Hair snatched it from Kidd, and Wick snatched it from Blackbeard!
After that, there is the alliance between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, who were removed from the Four Emperors. They have a signpost of historical text in their hands.
Next are the Kidd Pirates and the Heart Pirates, who also have three signposts.
It's not that these seven factions are the only ones searching for the Great Treasure. As long as they're pirates out at sea, who wouldn't want to find the Great Treasure? It's just that their strength doesn't allow it. Even the Navy wants to find the Great Treasure and end the Great Pirate Era. It's just that the factions with the right path have a better chance!
Among them, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Thunder God Pirates have the greatest chance, because they not only have three signposts, but also historians who can read ancient characters.
Next up are Kaido and Big Mom. Although they only have one signpost, they have Pudding, a member of the Three-Eyed Tribe, whose third eye can see through the truth. Who knows, someone might come to them with a rubbing of the signpost?
As for whether there are other members of the Three-Eyed Tribe still alive, this is uncertain, but Blackbeard knows the special abilities of the Three-Eyed Tribe, and there may be other people who know about it. Who can say for sure?
So Robin is no longer the only person who can decipher ancient texts, and Luffy is no longer the strongest contender for the great treasure!
Time rolled on, and another two years passed, but there was still no progress in the news about the great secret treasure. The historical text of the fourth signpost was never published, and the rubbings in the hands of others were just waste paper!
During this period, the Kidd Pirates and the Heart Pirates also arrived at the Water Star Island one after another, but that was all. Without the four signposts to guide the way, even Im and Vic from the Realm of God could not find Raftel!
Kidd is a bit reckless, similar to Luffy. He knew Raftel was somewhere in the sea ahead, so why wouldn't he go check it out? But Luffy was his lesson: he couldn't find it at all!
