Just from Edward's tone, Will and the others couldn't help but feel a little chill.

But what's even crazier is the content that comes later.

"The carcasses of all sorts of animals, even strange creatures that I can't imagine, species that I haven't heard of until today."

"And... Human corpses. ”

"What's even more bloody is that these corpses have all been dissected, and every muscle and eyebrow fiber has been broken down, but they have been pieced together and posed as before, like a work of art..."

Will bared his teeth.

What kind of pervert does this have to be to do such a thing.

Moreover, Edward and Kaido at that time were nothing more than fledgling lads. can imagine the impact of suddenly seeing this scene on them.

"However, we are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. The more this happens, the more we want to find out. ”

"But alas, there wasn't a single living person in the lab. Judging from the dust, it has been empty for a long time. ”

"Until... We found a diary. ”

"Albert's Diary."

"I shouldn't have let Kaido see this diary."

Craig couldn't help but ask, "What's in it?" ”

"It's Albert's lab notes."

"On January 3rd, the Achilles tendon of the deer was implanted."

"On January 4th, Subject 1083 died."

"On January 5th, the scale was readjusted and the implant was attempted again."

"On January 6th, Subject 1084 was in good health."

"On July 6th, Subject 1084 was still in good condition and began preparations to implant the deer's Achilles tendon into the full-fledged body, Zero. This will be the seventy-eighth animal gene implantation. ”

"On the seventh day of July..."

Even after all these years, Edward can still retell the story of his family.

The more Will listened, the more wrong he became, and he couldn't help but say, "This zero..."

"That's right."

"Subject Zero, that's - Kaido!"

！！！

"Kaido is a creature created out of thin air by Albert with countless biological genetic specialties."

"I see, it's not a mechanical human, it's a biological human," Will muttered.

"But can that turn him into an undead monster?"

"It's worthy of the Heavenly Demon, and these alone are indeed not enough to create the current Kaido."

"Later, I learned from that diary that Albert was a very powerful alchemist."

"The basic principle of an alchemist is – equivalent exchange."

"If you want something, you have to lose something."

"However, Albert has created something that is beyond this rule - the Philosopher's Stone."

"The Philosopher's Stone is more like an artifact than an alchemy product. It can turn stone into gold out of thin air, intervening in reality with unknown forces. ”

"Will there be such a thing?" Zong Yan muttered.

"It's hard to believe, but that's exactly what happened. Because the Philosopher's Stone is Kaido's heart! ”

"In Albert's notes, he mentions that the heart of a creature was not found, so he simply replaced it with the Philosopher's Stone."

"And the Philosopher's Stone is actually an item with a will. Because he hides in Kaido's body and does not want to be hurt by himself, when Kaido is threatened with death, the Philosopher's Stone will directly change the strength of his skin, making it indestructible.

- This is the secret of Kaido's immortality. ”

Edward's description finally came to an end, but there was silence in the room.

Will and the others needed a little time to digest this too unbelievable information.

Seeing that they were silent, Edward said to himself, "Kaido discovered the fact that he was not human at all, which caused him to change his temperament and began to drink to kill his sorrows. ”

"He hated the title of the Hundred Beasts, he hated the Philosopher's Stone in his body, and he even hated his own body, and then his own life."

"He really wants to die."

So that's how it was...

Will finally understands why Kaido is hell-bent on dying.

It is completely understandable to have such a distorted idea from such an experience.

But...

"I understand the secret of Kaido's immortality, but what does this have to do with his strange performance this time?"

Actually, Will already has a speculation in his mind...

"It's been a personal conjecture I've had for years, but this time it seems to have finally come true." Edward rubbed his face with his hands and said tiredly.

"Albert... It's a pervert! ”

"His ideal is to pursue the ultimate truth. Therefore, after he has studied a field thoroughly, he will completely lose interest in it. This is evident from the fact that he can implant the priceless Philosopher's Stone into Kaido's body. ”

"Kaido always thought he had escaped from the lab on his own, and Albert was dead."

"But I've always thought that Albert just lost interest in the successful subject and left it to fend for itself! Albert, still alive in this world! ”

"So, will he have any backhand to control Kaido?"

Really!

Edward's words were the same as Will's conjecture.

After thinking about it again, Will spoke, "The most likely way is actually to control Kaido through the Philosopher's Stone, right?" It was unconscious, but it had to be obedient. ”

Edward nodded heavily.

"I think so, too."

"Whoever can control the Philosopher's Stone will be able to control it... Beast Kaido! ”

…………

"What! Beast Kaido was you sent to the Floating Realm? ”

Karp looked at Sengoku in disbelief with his hands behind his back and facing the window.

Following the eyes of Sengoku through the window, where a huge figure slowly walked out of the sea, fearless of the encirclement of countless navies - it was Kaido!

"Not bad."

"Beast Kaido... It's already the combat power of our Navy! ”

…………

Rewind time to nineteen days ago, when the Heavenly King broke through the Advance City.

A mysterious man dressed in white with no face exposed, leading an unusually tall man covered in black cloth, suddenly appeared in the office of the Warring States!

"Who are you?!" Sengoku asked with a solemn face.

The appearance of these two people has no head or tail, and it is obvious that they can appear out of thin air by relying on the special ability of the Devil Fruit.

"You don't need to know who we are. Let's take a look at this first. ”

An old voice came from under the white-clothed cloak, obviously not planning to talk more with Sengoku, just throwing a token casually.

Sengoku picked up the sign and looked at it carefully, but he was relieved in his heart.

"CP0..."

"I'm sure it's correct."

"I said could you tell me before you come! Anyway, they also work for the Tianlong people! ”

"The old man is not interested in working for some bullshit nobles..."

This is strange, the Warring States didn't expect the man in white to speak amazingly.

But before he could ask, the man in white first left a sentence, "The old man is entrusted by someone, this guy is for you to use, just don't make it too ugly." ”

And then it was gone!

Sengoku covered his forehead speechlessly.

He stepped forward, ripped off the black cloth, and his eyes widened!

"Kaido?!"

…………

Rewind time to the present.

Still puzzled, Karp continued, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Sengoku waved his hand, "It's complicated to explain, you just need to know that I can control Kaido." ”

"When did this happen?" Tsuru asked.

"It's been almost twenty days."

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Tsuru frowned.

If you can plan ahead, you can get a miracle!

"Don't you know now?" Sengoku turned around, and the lenses refracted the sunlight, making it difficult to see his eyes.

"Alright, you guys go down."

The two walked out of the office.

Karp pressed his chin and said, "I don't know why, I always feel that something is not quite right with Sengoku today." ”

"I think so too." Tsuru replied.

The two looked at each other and turned to leave.
