Flower Capital, Underground Prison.

"What does the list mean?"

The members of the three pirate groups all frowned in confusion.

Under the signal from Kaido's eyes, King stepped forward and said, "Momonosuke has been executed! Together with his retainers!"

"What did you say?" The Straw Hat Pirates' eyes widened with anger and disbelief on their faces. Killer and Bepo were also shocked.

Nami hurriedly asked Yamato loudly, "Yamato, he is lying, right? How could Momo and Kin'emon die like this? Tell us this is false!"

However, Yamato did not give any response.

"The Kozuki family has completely disappeared, including all traces of them, as if they had never existed! In the new country, there are only my people!" Kaido answered for her.

"Momo! Kin'emon!..." The eyes of Zoro and others flickered, and memories of past battles and adventures emerged one after another. Usopp, Chopper, and Nami couldn't help crying.

Zoro suddenly thought of a beautiful figure and was about to speak, but Sanji asked first, "Where is Miss Hiyori? Is she still alive?"

Queen was startled, and King on the side said coldly, "We haven't found her yet, but as a remnant of Kozuki, she will have to die sooner or later!"

Only then did everyone's grief ease slightly.

The mature and prudent Jinbei then asked again, "What is the list of survivors you just mentioned?"

King continued to explain, "Momonosuke and Master Kaido made a bet. As long as he persists in the oil pan, he can exchange for your equal number of survivors! By the way, he persisted for a total of 15 minutes and 58 seconds! Also that is..."

Kaido interrupted at this time and said, "Just give him 16 people! Wororororo!"

Everyone was shocked by this inhumane bet, especially the Straw Hat Pirates, who became particularly sad and angry.

Zoro stared at Kaido and said, "You'd better not let me live, otherwise I will definitely chop off your head!"

Queen laughed and said, "Mwahaha, you have to survive today first before you brag!"

Usopp looked horrified at this time and said, "Wait a minute, there are only 16 places. There are dozens of people here. Wouldn't more than half of them die?"

"That's it, long nose! If you want to complain, just blame that brat for being so useless. If only he could hold on for an hour like his father, he could save all of you!" Queen smoked a cigar and said with wanton ridicule.

Everyone couldn't care less about their grief at the moment and became worried about the next situation.

Sanji said loudly at this time, "You just let Miss Nami live and take my life!"

"Sanji!" Nami was so scared that she couldn't stop crying.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nami! These guys are probably serious. I can't protect you anymore!" Sanji showed her the gentlest smile.

King outside the cell door said coldly, "Since when does the lamb give orders? Maybe I will let you live and choose to kill her!"

Everyone looked at the cruel eyes under his mask and were shocked.

Queen shouted dissatisfied at this time, "King, you pervert bastard, don't make the decision without permission. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill such a young and beautiful woman! I also plan to give her a guaranteed spot!"

King stared at him and said, "Then just die in her place!"

When the two were bickering, Kaido said loudly, "Hey, you two don't have to argue, I've already made a decision!"

King and Queen were startled, and then they didn't dare to say anything more.

Kaido walked up to the Straw Hat Pirates and looked at them one by one: Zoro glared at him without hesitation; Sanji also looked at him coldly; Jinbei was as calm as ever; Franky and Brook also had no fear at all; Usopp, Chopper, and Nami were so nervous that they burst into tears.

At this time, Kaido said slowly, "I won't kill any of you. Thank that kid for fighting for enough places! Wororororo!"

"Huh?" All the pirates were shocked and confused. The Straw Hat Pirates, who had survived the disaster, had no time to rejoice and could not help but worry about the others.

Although King and Queen were surprised, they did not dare to question Kaido's decision.

At this time, Shachi from the Heart Pirates cursed, "Are you kidding? Let us, the two largest pirate groups, only have 7 places? It's too unfair!"

The members of the two pirate groups cursed.

Kaido didn't bother to look at them, just said a word, turned around, and walked away.

"King, the remaining places will be decided by you! I want to have another round of drinking! Wororororo!"

King and Queen respectfully watched him leave.

Afterwards, Queen triumphantly said to King, "Pervert, you bastard, I'm satisfied if that beautiful woman survives. I'll leave the rest of these stinky things to you to decide! I still have a table of flowers and wine waiting in the brothel. Have a drink and leave first!"

King couldn't help but snort coldly as he watched him leaving with a funny dance, then glanced at Killer and Bepo's gang, and said lightly, "Since you want fairness, then the final choice will be left to you. The hand is ready! It's up to you to decide which 7 people survive!"

"I personally suggest that you have a fight first and let the strongest person survive!"

Everyone was shocked by his emotionless words and looked at each other.

Zoro saw the bloodlust and joking in King's eyes at this time, frowned, and said, "That cold-blooded bastard deliberately wanted to see them kill each other!"

The Straw Hat Pirates, who had already escaped, were also nervously watching the movements of the other two groups, lest they were really provoked by the other party and started to attack their partners.

Unexpectedly, after a period of silence, Killer, Bepo, and others actually gathered together to discuss.

Finally, Killer stood up, walked slowly to the cell door, looked up at the tall King, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, we won't do anything to our partners! Because we have already decided the chosen one, the living person will bear today's blood feud, and one day I will pay you back a hundredfold!"

Bepo also came over at this time and said, "We are the same, we will never forget today!"

The Straw Hat Pirates were also shocked by the friendship and belief of these people at this moment. These people's emphasis on their partners and their awareness of life and death are not inferior to them.

King's eyes turned cold, and the smile under the mask completely disappeared, and then he said, "Then, tell me your final decision!"

"Also, as a sign of personal admiration, I will let you watch your comrades be executed!"
