Destiny is truly favoring me, Roa thought, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Are you here to save that guy called Kaido?" A boy, who appeared a year or two older than Roa, curiously sized Roa up. "I heard you call his name. I've seen him. The government scientists are extracting various tissues from his body."
"Yeah, he's my big brother. Quite a handful, isn't he?" Roa lamented. "Got captured by the Navy, and now his young brother has to rescue him. So unreliable. If you become his subordinate, you'll surely come to a bad end. Maybe your wings will even be cut off, and then you'll be sucked dry by some tentacled pervert."
King looked at Roa in confusion. What was he talking about?
"Roa! You brat, are you here? Come save me quickly!" Kaido's voice, a mixture of surprise and desperation, came from under the nearby rubble.
"See?" Roa shrugged. "Useless adult."
"Aren't you going to save him?" King asked.
"I'll save you first." Roa casually drew the katana from his waist. The crimson blade left several red streaks in the air. Clang, clang, clang! The sturdy shackles binding King all snapped. The young man was free.
King rubbed his wrists, unaccustomed to the newfound freedom, and slowly climbed down from the operating table. "But why?" King asked, puzzled. "We've only just met."
"Because you're strong," Roa said. "The strength of the Lunarians, even I am aware of it. Join my company, King. From now on, I'll protect you. You only need to follow behind me, and together, we'll turn this world upside down."
As everyone knows, when one utters the phrase "turn this world upside down," one's persuasive ability automatically increases by ten percent.
Don't blame me, Big Brother Kaido. It's not that your little brother is a bad person; it's just that your left-hand man is too charming. Who could say no to a Lunarian with a built-in Mythical Zoan-level ability?
"Hey! Roa! What are you still doing?! I'm over here!" Big Brother Kaido's weak yet high-pitched voice rang out again.
You can wait a bit. Perhaps, this was what they called 'husband-in-front adultery' (Fu Mu Qian Fan - a Chinese idiom meaning doing something scandalous in front of someone's husband/wife).
"Turn... the world upside down?" King instantly fell for it, his eyes growing hazy. "You want to change this world?"
What did Big Brother Kaido say in the original story again? Roa grinned. "Who else but me?"
"I understand," King nodded, his gaze towards Roa gradually becoming serious. "Let me see then, how you will change this world."
"Welcome, King!" Roa extended his right hand. "From today onwards, you are the Head of Security for the Cataclysm Company."
"Head of Security?" King shook Roa's hand. "Understood, Boss."
"Call me Boss!"
"Alright, Boss!"
"Roa! What are you still dawdling for, you stinky brat?!"
Roa impatiently turned his head. Big Brother Kaido really doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.
Roa suddenly stomped his right foot. "Then come out!" Boom! The earth abruptly trembled, and the nearby ruins exploded, splashing some molten rock. Blasted into the sky by volcanic ash was a heavy metal operating table, with Kaido still strapped to it. The operating table, with Kaido on it, crashed heavily to the ground, face down.
"Stinky brat!" A muffled, angry voice came from beneath the operating table.
"Big Brother Kaido, you're looking a bit disheveled." Roa walked over, casually nudged the operating table with his foot, flipping it and Kaido over. Then he suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter. "Big Brother Kaido, you... isn't that a bit indecent?" His big brother hadn't even put on his pants yet, revealing two long, furry legs. No wonder he kept urging. Thinking of something, Roa's tone immediately became solemn. "It's alright, you did nothing wrong. It's all the fault of those damned beasts!"
King, silently following behind Roa, looked at Kaido with a strange expression. He hadn't experienced anything like this, after all, his defense could be reduced by extinguishing the flame behind his head.
"Enough nonsense! Hurry up and release me!" Even a seasoned veteran like Kaido was now utterly enraged and embarrassed.
Roa drew his sword, and with a few more swishes, the Seastone shackles binding Kaido all snapped. In front of the supremely sharp Tiger Soul, Seastone was nothing special; it was, after all, just a type of stone that could be processed.
"..." The moment he was freed, Kaido flipped over, silently pulling up his pants. Then he strode to a certain spot, slammed his right hand down, piercing through the rubble, and the next moment, pulled out a spiked club.
"Crack!" Dark Haki lightning crackled around the black spiked club.
"Descent of the Three Worlds: Infernal!" The thick iron club slammed heavily onto the ground. The earth shook violently, and the already shattered ruins exploded again. The raw power pulverized almost everything here into fragments. The auras buried beneath the ruins must have been utterly annihilated.
Boom! Boom! Boom! One strike after another, Big Brother Kaido unleashed his fury. Roa and King each flapped their wings, hovering in mid-air, quietly watching Kaido vent.
Big Brother Kaido, such a good person, what a pity. Oh, right, at this moment he should say, "I'll kill all of you, you brats!" That would be more fitting.
Only after he had smashed the ground into a massive crater did Kaido finally stop, his muscular chest still heaving violently, clearly not calm.
"Done venting?" Roa landed on the edge of the large crater. "If you're done, then get ready to fight, Big Brother Kaido." He looked up.
In the distance, the Navy Hero had finished dealing with the continuously falling meteors. Now, the Navy legend, consumed by rage, was shooting towards them like lightning. Kaido leaped out of the crater, his gaze sweeping over Roa, then immediately settling on King behind Roa.
"Oh, let me introduce you," Roa said enthusiastically. "This is King, a member of the Lunarian tribe. I rescued him, and now he's the Head of Security for my company."
Kaido's eyes instantly became very complex. This damned brat! He had also set his sights on this Lunarian! But this stinky brat Roa beat him to it! But at this point, what could he say? Should he demand Roa return the Lunarian to him? Kaido couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. He just snorted, holding his spiked club.
Roa chuckled. This was the difference between the 'aggrieved party' (kuzhu) and the 'blonde guy' (huangmao) (NTR term). The blonde guy acts decisively, without any hesitation. The aggrieved party is indecisive, yet still pretends to be reserved. If you don't get NTR'd, who will?
"Here he comes," King said, looking up, the flame behind his head blazing brightly.
In the sky, a bolt of lightning shot towards them.
"Unbelievably fast, truly remarkable!" Even against an enemy, Roa couldn't help but praise. "At this speed, it won't be easy to escape!"
"Enough talk!" Scales emerged on Kaido, and he directly entered his hybrid dragon-human form.
"Ready for a beating, you bad boys!" Garp's right fist was poised, thick Haki lightning shooting towards the sky. The sheer intensity of this Haki was exaggerated! Roa clicked his tongue. Big Brother Kaido is still hundreds of kilometers behind!
"Fist Bone—" The hero swung his fist forcefully. "Impact!!"
A nuclear bomb descended again. The invisible Haki shockwave violently rubbed against the air, blooming into a dazzling light like the sun in the sky.
"Big Brother Kaido, use that move! Our passionate combo move!" Roa gripped his sword with both hands, injecting Haki into his beloved blade. Tiger Soul's surface immediately erupted with crimson airflow.
Because it was so powerful, the bloodlust almost transformed into red light, and the entire sword became a turbojet engine spewing crimson light.
He held the turbojet engine obliquely. "Although I can't use Conqueror's Haki coating, with this sword, I should barely be able to unleash that move."
"Oh?" Kaido's lips curved into a smile upon hearing this, also raising his iron club with both hands. "Then you brat better not drag me down!"
Roa's smile was uninhibited. "Ha, let him see our bond!"
"Conqueror of the Seas!" x2.
