At that moment, a pair of large hands grabbed Hancock's neck and lifted her up. She stopped crying instantly. The makeup on her face had run from her tears, and her eyes were red and swollen. With wide eyes and fear, she held onto one finger of the big hand that pinched her neck. Her mouth opened, but she couldn't speak. Her face turned red in a blink, and her legs shook but couldn't resist. Her eyes rolled back, and her tongue stuck out from the pressure on her neck. The force lifting her gradually raised her seven or eight meters off the ground.

From behind her, a thick, deep voice said indifferently, "I told you, woman, you only have one chance." 

"Ah..." Hancock's face reddened, her pupils trembled, and her whole body shook. She couldn't speak, making only abnormal noises from her squeezed throat. She thought that if Luffy was sent away, she wouldn't regret it even if Kaido killed her now. But now she was about to lose everything. One wrong choice would mean losing her life, her country, her people, and her loved ones. The Kuja would suffer devastating revenge from Kaido, and Luffy would surely die at Kaido's hands. And she could no longer take revenge on the Celestial Dragons. She began to regret it. She could barely make a sound. Unable to breathe, her strength weakened. Her brain fell into an oxygen-deprived coma, and her slender arms slipped from Kaido's fingers.

Then, with a flick, Hancock was slammed to the ground and rolled around a few times before stopping. Rubble crushed her cheongsam. Only then did she hold the ground with one hand and stroke her neck with the other, panting heavily and barely feeling her neck. 

"You didn't tell her that you were one of those people?" Kaido asked, squinting at Tesoro. He remembered the group released by the Taischel Feige incident escaped. He thought that if there was a similar kind, the empress should be more understanding.

"No," Tesoro paused before replying. "My scar has been cut off by me."

Kaido stared at him twice. He knew this but suspected there was more to the story. He wanted to see if Tesoro was lying. Tesoro's calm eyes betrayed his unease. He likely didn't want to mention his past and identity, as many escaped slaves did. 

"Forget it, the matter is settled," Kaido said. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Luffy on the ground. Claws raised in the air, he summoned something wrapped in a flame cloud not far away.

At this time, Hancock's red face had not yet subsided. Biting her lip to reveal a hint of blood, she said unwillingly, "Kaido... I am willing to follow you."

"I'll bring..." 

Kaido didn't want to listen to her nonsense. He waved an empty hand and struck hard through the air. With a snap, it hit Hancock in the face, knocking her head to the side. Her long hair flew up, and a red mark appeared on her face.

"Now you don't have the qualifications to choose to follow me," Kaido said. "As I said, there is only one chance. After I kill this kid, I will let you watch the Kuja be destroyed with your own eyes. Don't worry."

Hancock's eyes were furious but were instantly extinguished by fear. Despair filled her eyes, her body trembled, and her lips and face turned white. Her Kuja... couldn't escape. She had wanted to wait for Luffy to leave and then transfer her people as soon as she fled.

Tesoro stopped her. Luffy was also sent back by Jinbei.

It was she, the queen, who had brought her country into a desperate situation. Suddenly, she thought of how much she loved the Kuja. Obviously, she was forced to join the World Government and become a Shichibukai to protect her people, but now she sacrificed her own people for Luffy?!

"What have I done..." Hancock lowered her head and covered her face in tears, crying violently. She begged for mercy in pain, "Don't... The people of Kuja are innocent..."

"Tesoro, shut her up," Kaido said directly without even looking at her.

"No..." Hancock wanted to say something, but the gold tied directly to her mouth, making her unable to make a sound again. Kaido then turned to look at her. A woman with a love-stricken expression looked much more comfortable now. 

He walked over slowly, holding Hancock's face with his fingertips, and looked indifferently at her red watery eyes. "What if I pass on your status as a slave? Which of the Celestial Dragons do you belong to? Do you think the Celestial Dragons who once had you dare to come to me? Shall I give you to him?"

Her eyes pleaded silently, "You'll recall it quickly, but the best time is before you make a choice." 

Every time Kaido spoke, Hancock's body trembled more. With every word, the pleading and tears in her eyes grew deeper. After saying these words, she seemed completely broken. Her eyes were hollow, and her body temperature dropped to a point that ordinary people could not estimate. 

Kaido scoffed and let her go. Of course, he wouldn't do that. It was just to scare her, and handing her over to the Celestial Dragons would be foolish.

Pudding's existence is prepared to deal with these broken things, and turning her into a subordinate after the torture is a reasonable use of resources. It also includes Nami, Robin, and Zoro, three talents that Kaido can see. 

After a short while, three black flame clouds floated over from the sky, all bound and rolled up like people. One of them was Sabo, who was still in a coma. He fainted after being knocked into the sea by Yamato, then floated on the surface until Kaido picked him up.

The other person, Rayleigh, was already unable to struggle, hanging his head on the side of his neck. The flesh of his neck was shattered, exposing his flesh and bones, as if his spine had been broken in half, and his eyelids were bruised, and his eyes were swollen shut.

Finally, there was Dorag, who not only had that weird tattoo on his face but also Kaido's mace print. His arms had become gory, still bleeding, making him extremely pale.

After Kaido got serious, the two did not last long. Once they lost the speed of the wind and fruit blessing, the two became like baseballs, knocked away countless times, seriously injured, and could only bear it silently.

But all three of them still breathed. Kaido didn't kill them in battle. Instead, he brought them to Luffy to let them die together.

"Luffy..." Rayleigh saw the familiar shadow on the ground again with half-squinted, swollen eyes. He still couldn't escape. Perhaps this was fate. That Raftel prophecy... Who the hell were they talking about?

Controlling the flame cloud to see them close to each other, Kaido looked at several people who were already powerless to resist. Thinking of the side effects of their secret medicine that had not yet occurred, he smiled. Twice the pain would erupt soon. That sight would look good.
