Chapter 243: Kaido's Childhood (Part II)
Maybe Kaido was too young at the time, or maybe he looked cute on the outside, even the decisive Ryoma still couldn't kill the killer after all, but the mercy of his men made Kaido experience a nightmarish childhood......
Ryoma patted his ass and left, but Kaido, who was less than three years old, lost the protection of his parents prematurely, and could only face the ferocious beasts on the ghost island at such a young age, and he almost died many times during this time......
However, relying on the innate strong vitality of the demon clan, Kaido survived after all, and became stronger and stronger after successful hunting and escape, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, there were no more creatures that could threaten him on the originally extremely dangerous ghost island......
However, because of the psychological shadow left by Ryoma back then, Kaido did not dare to invade the neighboring Wano Country like his ancestors, but went the opposite way and went out to sea on a raft away from Wano Country.
It wasn't until twenty years later, after seeing the wider world and growing up to have few opponents in this world, that Kaido returned to Onishima for the first time, and teamed up with the black charcoal snake who also had a deep hatred to take revenge on Wano Country......
"It was a miserable childhood." , Mousse said so, but from his expression, he could see that he didn't have much sympathy in his heart, after all, the demon clan does not produce and specializes in looting for a living, even if they are exterminated, they deserve it.
However, Mousse can understand Kaido's atrocities, and even his daughter's failed education:
"In fact, because he was the only one left when he was very young, Kaido was not affected by many bad traditions of his own people, and could have embarked on a completely different path in life."
"However, the hatred for the samurai and the country of Wano was difficult to dissolve, and during their time at sea, they were discriminated against, isolated, and abused (such as being caught by the world government and becoming a guinea pig), and then escalated to hatred for all humans, forming the misconception that 'it is impossible for humans and oni to coexist peacefully'......"
"So he brought disaster and misfortune to the country, and his daughter, who was unwilling to accept his wrong idea, was beaten from childhood to adulthood, and as a result, she was psychologically rebellious to the point of almost distortion......
Of course, for the time being, the most important thing is that Mousse confirmed that the demon clan on the Ice Continent is indeed the same race as the "ghost clan" of the new world that has died to the point of only one and a half left, and he can understand why the Martial God Halberd suddenly became excited before, and Katakuri's slash that did not fully exert its power actually caused such serious damage......
The direct scratches caused by Katakuri's previous halberd were not too serious, but the domineering aura it left behind continued to cause damage, and even inhibited Kaido's powerful recovery ability, which was the first time in Kaido's nearly forty years of life......
"If Katakuri's strength had been more in tune with its strength, I might have been seriously injured by now......"
Kaido looked at the Martial God Halberd in Katakuri's hand with a solemn expression, obviously it was just a weapon, but it made him feel as jealous as if he had hit a rival......
But now Mousse understands why:
Although the Martial God had only found someone to build this war halberd after going south to the Central Plains, and he had almost emptied the evil spirits on the Ice Continent before that, the Martial God Halberd had actually never experienced a battle with the latter before.
However, almost all the threatening enemies that the martial god has encountered in his life are evil ghosts (because he was still weak at that time), and before he died, he injected his last belief and even the fragments of his memory into this portable weapon that accompanied him for most of his life......
Therefore, as long as it encounters the demon clan, the Martial God Halberd will spontaneously output its stored domineering energy to the maximum extent, even if doing so will cause damage to itself, it is naturally amazingly powerful.
However, it is precisely because it is an attack that the weapon sends out independently, once it does not cooperate well with the owner, it will inevitably be wasted.
For example, in the previous moment, Katakuri's own domineering spirit was to take advantage of the opportunity of the two sides to staggered to cut the opponent, while the Valkyrie Halberd's own attack caused a continuous damage effect.
This may be quite useful for ordinary demons, but in addition to the characteristics of the demon race, Kaido also has the additional enhancement brought by the form of the phantom beast species of the fish fish fruit, and his own strength is extremely strong, and the domineering aura left by the Martial God Halberd is just to slow down his recovery speed, it is better to simply strengthen the attack directly and cut the wound deeper......
However, Katakuri didn't have much regrets, firstly, he originally wanted to use it to help him get closer to this divine weapon, and secondly, if he relied too much on the power of the weapon itself, even if Kaido won it, it would not be interesting.
And Mousse quietly changed his words from this second brother to call this weapon "Ghost Halberd", realizing that although Katakuri, who is still a little young and vigorous, likes this weapon very much, he does not want to simply inherit the legacy of his predecessors, but is determined to completely control it and turn it into a power that can be put away and released at will!
So Mousse came to the second brother, stroked his hand on the halberd of the "ghost halberd", and said to him:
"Even your former master didn't go to the Ice Continent to hunt evil spirits later, because he had already killed so many evil spirits that it was enough to avenge his village, so why should you still indulge in the hatred of more than eight hundred years ago?"
"I can understand your hatred for the demon clan, but now that the evil ghosts have declined, the border people of the Flower Country have let go of their former hatred, and outside the Flower Country, the one you just hurt is already the only seedling, and this race is no longer so harmful......"
Although Mousse's words implied a purpose, he really didn't say anything, Kaido only had a daughter who was mixed with humans, and the latter's ass was still sitting on the side of humans, and his branch was no different from an heir to the demon race.
On the side of the Flower Country, although the Long-Hand Royal Clan, whose hands are no longer long, are guilty of other aspects, they are also from the same rare race, but they have done something that the Flower Country has not done for thousands of years before:
There are eight chong fists that have been sitting on the edge of the ice continent for a long time, regularly sending people to the north to capture young demons, taming and cultivating them since childhood, and absorbing them into the royal family through marriage and other means, and then letting these evil ghosts who have become their own people to perform the same task to capture their bloodline compatriots......
This kind of "using ghosts to control ghosts" has weakened the evil ghosts on the Ice Continent day by day, so that even after Qingjiao was shot in the head and his strength was greatly damaged, the Eight Treasure Water Army was able to fulfill his mission......
