"What did you do?!" Waka had regained his senses from Alucard’s "Charm" ability. The image of him being controlled by Alucard and pushing a large sum of money toward him was still vivid in his mind. He didn’t know what had happened, even though he clearly remembered being conscious. So why did that happen?
If he had to explain it... Thinking this, Waka slammed his scrawny, bamboo-pole-like arm onto the table with a loud thump! "You bastard! You used a Devil Fruit ability!"
Though there were many rookie pirates here, anyone in the Grand Line who didn’t know what a "Devil Fruit" was wasn’t a rookie, but an idiot. Upon hearing Waka’s words, the others in the tavern suddenly understood. No wonder Waka had acted so strangely; he’d fallen under a Devil Fruit’s power. That explained it.
"Don’t you know, I’m—Ugh!"
Before Waka could finish speaking, something suddenly shattered his teeth. Before Waka could even scream, bang! A white gun blasted Waka’s head apart. Brain matter, blood, and eyeballs splattered everywhere, making some timid women shriek in terror.
"Wa-Waka’s been killed!"
"The Titan Pirates won’t stand by!"
"What do we do? Run?"
A few seconds after Alucard blew Waka’s head off, the entire place erupted into chaos.
The Titan Pirates were currently the most powerful crew on this island, and also the crew with the highest bounties. Their captain, Walrus Atlas, was a giant pirate with a bounty of 66 million Berries, credited with sinking several battleships. Although Waka wasn’t a member of his crew, this tavern was his territory, and Waka had to hand over a portion of his earnings to Atlas. So, with Waka’s death, everyone present feared Atlas’s retaliation.
Just as the pirates panicked in confusion, a series of resounding thuds and rhythmic footsteps suddenly vibrated through the ground, startling everyone. This felt like the footsteps of a giant. Could the Titan Pirates, who had gone out, already be back?
Some looked at Alucard with an expression of watching a good show; facing a fifty-meter tall giant, he was dead meat. Others quickly ran out of the tavern, looked outside, and stood frozen in a daze.
It wasn’t a giant, nor was it Atlas. But even if it wasn’t a giant, that height, far exceeding ten meters, was beyond what an ordinary person could reach. Even Whitebeard’s physique would pale in comparison standing before him.
One of the Three Monsters, Kaido of the Beasts!
Like Alucard, not many people recognized Kaido’s identity; they were simply stunned by his colossal body.
At this moment, Kaido, who had already entered the town, sniffed the air. Catching the scent of alcohol, he strode towards the tavern. When someone, too shocked to move, blocked his path, Kaido slapped them away without hesitation.
For Kaido, standing over ten meters tall, this mere two-story, six-meter-tall tavern was nothing more than a giant toy.
Many said that eating and drinking without paying was the act of a third-rate pirate, a point Alucard even agreed with. But Kaido was a unique eccentric. After smelling the alcohol, he directly punched, shattering the tavern’s roof and second floor.
From Alucard’s perspective on the first floor, he saw a hand smash through the tavern ceiling, then snatch countless bottles of alcohol from the bar counter.
"To think I’d run into you here, you mad dog," Alucard said blandly.
Kaido opened two large wine barrels, each barely manageable by two adults, and was about to bring them to his mouth. However, just as the cloudy white liquor began to drip, a bullet suddenly pierced one of the barrels, shattering it.
Kaido, caught off guard, had the liquor splash all over his face as the barrel exploded. The other onlookers were so terrified their hearts nearly stopped. Although they hadn’t recognized Kaido’s identity at this moment, the aura emanating from him vaguely hinted at something.
Kaido had no strategic combat skills like sensing auras; he was just a lunatic who wouldn’t listen to reason and only knew how to charge.
With liquor splashed on his face, he roared in the direction the bullet came from, "Damn it! Who was that?!" With just a roar, the resulting shockwave ripped off most of the tavern’s wooden planks, and some people were even blown backward by the tempestuous wind generated by Kaido’s furious bellow.
"What kind of monster... is that giant?" a pirate said, staring at Kaido in disbelief.
"Who do you think is stronger, him or Atlas?" someone asked, showing interest in the power level comparison between this giant Kaido and the Giant Tribe.
"Atlas, probably... He’s over forty meters tall, and this guy isn’t even half his size..."
"I also think Atlas has a better chance of winning," another person immediately nodded in agreement.
One wondered what expression Kaido would make if he heard that. Should it be said that the first half of the Grand Line was rightly called "Paradise" in the future? Many pirates here were truly "lovably" foolish.
Originally, due to the obstruction of the ceiling planks, Kaido couldn’t see Alucard sitting in the corner of the first floor. But because his roar had just blown away most of the ceiling planks, he could now see Alucard. The moment he saw him, Kaido’s expression also stiffened, and he ceased his destructive actions.
"You mad dog, no matter where you go, all you know is madness. Can you be a little quieter, mad dog?" Facing Kaido, who was immeasurably larger than himself, Alucard spoke with unwavering composure.
"Mad dog" had essentially become Alucard’s exclusive descriptor for Kaido.
