Chapter 3#

Beehive Island covers a huge area. It is a paradise for pirates and the base camp of the Rocks Pirates. Thousands of pirates are stationed here, and many pirate ships are docked around the island. Some of these ships belong to the Rocks Pirates, while others are from pirates who either want to join or are drawn by the island's reputation.

According to Tos's memory, Rocks and his crew were holding a banquet in the square beneath the island's landmark building when Tos was struck by Kaido. Uchiha Madara walked along the street to the square. Tos's memory indicated that many renowned pirates gathered here, with most having bounties in the tens of millions of Baileys, and only a few exceeding 100 million.

These pirates were clustered in groups, drinking and socializing at the edges of the square. They dared not approach the landmark building, a massive skull, as it was reserved for the Rocks Pirates' higher-ups.

Uchiha Madara stood on a stone and observed the scene under the skull building. Seated at the uppermost position was the captain of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks D. Xebec. To his right sat Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, followed by Skypiea, Silver Axe, Longbread, and Bagingom Stussy. Opposite Whitebeard was Charlotte Linlin, and below her were Captain John, Wang Zhi, Flame Flower, and Kaido.

At this time, Kaido had recently joined the group and was seated towards the back due to his seniority.

Uchiha Madara, looking at the hundreds of pirates surrounding him, decided to make his presence known.

In a low voice, Uchiha Madara called out to Kaido, "That bull-headed brat!"

Instantly, everyone in the square turned their gaze toward Uchiha Madara. Kaido, noticing the attention, glanced at Linlin uncertainly and asked, "Sister, is he calling me?"

Charlotte Linlin, with a smirk, replied, "MaMaMaMa It seems like he's calling you, little brother!"

Enraged, Kaido glared and shouted, "You bastard, how dare you call me a brat!"

Uchiha Madara, feigning indifference, continued, "Little boy, a dead body flew over here and disturbed me. Did you do it?"

The moment he said this, it became clear to everyone present that Uchiha Madara was here to cause trouble.

Uchiha Madara glanced at the shocked pirates behind him and felt a surge of satisfaction. This was the feeling he had been craving. At this moment, he understood why Madara was so fond of making a dramatic entrance.

Captain John, excited by the confrontation, exclaimed, "Oh my, someone actually dares to cause trouble here!"

Whitebeard, smiling and enjoying the spectacle, said, "Kulalala~ You're quite brave!"

"Kaido, go! Kill him!" Rocks ordered coldly.

Kaido, eager to fight, stood up with his mace. The pirates in the square quickly cleared a path, retreating to safety.

"Oh? Just this brat?" Uchiha Madara, still standing on the stone, remained seated and looked at Rocks with a playful smirk.

Kaido, furious at being ignored, roared, "Asshole!"

Without hesitation, Kaido charged at Uchiha Madara at lightning speed, his mace wrapped in Armament Haki.

"Hmph!" Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully, remaining seated and not even glancing at Kaido.

With a swift motion, Susanoo's arm, enveloped in black-blue color, extended to intercept Kaido's attack.

"Bang!"

The clash of their attacks echoed, and Kaido's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't comprehend how the arm surrounding Uchiha Madara was able to resist his assault.

"How is it possible?" Kaido exclaimed in shock.

Charlotte Linlin, who was familiar with Kaido's strength, looked on in disbelief. "It looks like we have another strong opponent!"

Whitebeard's eyes lit up with excitement. "This kind of person is worth fighting!"

Silver Axe was equally thrilled. "Such a person deserves to be eliminated!"

Rocks, with a sinister smile, found the situation increasingly interesting.

"He actually blocked Kaido's attack? Still sitting?" The surrounding pirates murmured in astonishment.

Uchiha Madara had been confident in his ability to handle Kaido, knowing from Tos's memory that Kaido was only at the level of a Vice Admiral, with Haki not surpassing his own. This was why he dared to confront Kaido with his Haki and the first stage of Susanoo.

Uchiha Madara, still seated, addressed Kaido coldly, "too weak"

As he spoke, Uchiha Madara activated his Sharingan's illusion.

Kaido's body trembled, his face paling as horrific images flooded his mind—countless corpses and wronged souls, including figures from his childhood and Charlotte Linlin, all closing in on him. Kaido, overwhelmed by fear, could do nothing but back away, shouting, "Don't come closer! Don't come closer!"

Seeing her younger brother's distress, Charlotte Linlin called out, "Kaido!"

At her voice, Kaido's soul jolted, and he snapped back to reality. He looked at Uchiha Madara, who remained seated, and gulped in fear. The experience had shaken him profoundly.

"What is happening? Why is Kaido terrified of this man's eyes?" Stussy asked, puzzled.

Whitebeard, observing closely, speculated, "It's probably that strange eye of his—like a demon's eye!"

Flame Flower sighed, "It seems this is not an easy opponent to deal with."

she wondered aloud, "I wonder what the captain will do!"

Shiki, noticing Charlotte Linlin's movements, said, "No need, Captain. Didn't you see that Linlin has stood up?"

Charlotte Linlin stood up, walking over slowly and cursing, "You bastard, how dare you use such a strange method to scare Kaido!"

"What? Are you confident in your strength? Do you intend to fight me?" Uchiha Madara asked, his face a mask of puzzled arrogance.

Seeing his audacious attitude, everyone around felt a surge of anticipation.

Rocks, laughing, told Linlin, "Linlin, teach him a lesson!"

Even without Rocks's encouragement, Charlotte Linlin was eager to confront Uchiha Madara, finding his expression particularly irritating.

"Prometheus!" Linlin commanded.

The pirates familiar with this move fled in fear as a white cloud materialized. Charlotte Linlin infused it with her soul, transforming it into flames. She hurled Prometheus toward Uchiha Madara.

"Hmph."

Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully, remaining seated. He drew the Gunbai from his back and held it in front of him.

As the flames from Prometheus met Gunbai Uchiha Madara intoned, "Uchiha Rebound!"

Prometheus, now repelled by the Gunbai was shocked as it was sent flying back uncontrollably.

"Boom!"

Charlotte Linlin was caught off guard and engulfed by the explosion.
