Pirate Death Arrives.

Chapter 1243 Strength First

The 'Hundred Beasts Army Plan' that Kaido is currently carrying out is to accumulate as much strength as possible to make the overall strength of the Hundred Beasts Pirates as strong as possible!

It is true that he wants to start a top-level war, but at the same time, he also wants to take the absolute initiative in that war!

So, how do we take the initiative?

That’s right, it’s powerful military force!

As long as Kaido's power is strong enough, the navy, the world government, and even the Celestial Dragons will have to take action.

If you want to quickly improve your strength, a large amount of resources are essential.

So far, Kaido has ruled Wano Country for more than ten years.

During this period, the people of Wano Country were constantly oppressed and exploited.

Relying on the resources that were extracted, the strength of the Beasts Pirates grew increasingly stronger.

But, the territory of Wano Country is limited.

The resources it possesses are also limited.

The number of strong people that can be cultivated with these resources is also limited.

It is precisely because of that restriction that the Beasts Pirates fell into a bottleneck period after more than ten years of war.

For the sake of his own grand plan, Kaido naturally wants to break through that layer of limitation, so that his subordinates can have more power and become more powerful.

To achieve this goal, the most direct and effective way is to expand territory, acquire more resources, and use those resources to pile up and smash, so as to accelerate the growth of the Beasts Pirates.

However, before the Battle of Marineford began, the New World had always been in a situation of "Four Emperors standing side by side".

If Kaido cannot break it, it can only be said that it is basically impossible for him to expand his territory.

Once Kaido takes action, it means that he will directly declare war on other emperor-level powerhouses.

To be honest, Kaido didn't want to do that, and he was not absolutely sure that he could defeat other emperor-level strongmen.

The reason why the New World has maintained the situation of 'Four Emperors' is precisely because the combat power of the four emperor-level strongmen can be said to be almost equal, and no one can be said to be able to suppress the other three emperor-level strongmen.

Especially the existence of Shanks, the "troublemaker", makes Kaido extremely annoyed.

As mentioned before, before Luffy defeated Kaido, Shanks' role in the New World was that of a "regulator", and he would go wherever there was a problem to solve it.

I just don't want the new world to be in chaos.

On the other hand, Kaido, unlike Shanks who is lawful, is a very trouble-making person.

We can also see something from his life experience.

Kaido was arrested 18 times when he challenged the navy and the Four Emperors alone. He was tortured more than a thousand times and was sentenced to death 40 times.

This record alone can clearly reflect Kaido's personality.

Until the emergence of Shanks, the New World formed a stable situation of "Four Emperors in a Triple Crown".

Especially in the past four or five years, Kaido has obviously restrained himself a lot, and usually he will not leave the territory of Wano Country.

Because every time he wanted to take action, he would run into that annoying guy Shanks!

The opponent's strength was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

The little kid who used to be so inconspicuous following Roger has now grown to almost the same level as him.

That feeling made Kaido feel somewhat mixed emotions.

However, if he does not expand outward, it will be difficult for his Beasts Pirates to grow further, and his plan will then be difficult to implement.

In this case, since it is impossible to expand the territory, Kaido can only find another way.

And his choice is to cooperate with 'Tianyasha' Doflamingo.

By purchasing the opponent's 'artificial devil fruit', he can build his own 'Hundred Beasts Army', increase the foundation of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, and enhance the overall strength of the Hundred Beasts Pirates.

It has to be admitted that although the artificial devil fruit developed by Caesar based on Vegapunk is a counterfeit product and has many side effects, after eating it, it can indeed allow people to master an animal-type devil fruit ability, which can actually make people stronger!

It can be said that a very ordinary person can instantly gain extraordinary strength after eating it.

Not to mention that those "waiters" in the Beasts Pirates have undergone rigorous screening, and they have a very good foundation and basic strength.

After eating the artificial devil fruit, they can even achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

To be honest, as long as they don't encounter a cadre-level strongman, the combat power they possess is still enough to make them have a say.

In short, with the assistance of Flamingo, the Beasts Pirates have developed very well in the past two years.

The only pity is that the production of artificial devil fruits is not very high, and only one out of every ten can have the desired effect, and the rest are all failures.

However, even if it is a failure, the side effects of the devil fruit will still remain in their bodies, and those "laughers" who have eaten the failure will not be able to eat a second artificial devil fruit.

This means that the rest of their lives are basically wasted.

Of course, Kaido has not completely given up on those "laughing people".

After all, he is a powerful warrior who has undergone a series of special training.

Even if they do not master the power of devil fruits, the power they possess is still remarkable.

Not to mention following him across the sea, helping to govern Wano Country shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, as a super large pirate group, grassroots personnel are indispensable.

Whether it is Whitebeard's Whitebeard Pirates, Charlotte Linlin's Big Mom Pirates, or Shanks' Red Hair Pirates.

It is not the case that all of their members are elite soldiers who can defeat a hundred, a thousand or even ten thousand of them.

The number of people who are responsible for helping out and doing the dirty and tiring work is definitely much greater than the elite pirates.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in keeping those people.

Of course, in Kaido's cognition, only war can determine a person's value.

To put it bluntly, Kaido strongly agrees with the principle that "strength is supreme".

As for those losers, the "laughing ones", Kaido might use them, but that's all.

Similarly, he has great contempt for some of the pampered world nobles in the pirate world, as well as those high-ranking rulers and celestial dragons!

Clearing out that "waste" was one of the main purposes of his launching the war.
