Kaido picked up the cloth pouch and closely examined the "peas" inside.
"What are these?" Kaido asked directly. "Why is their medicinal effect so frightening?"
"Sorry, Kaido-sama!" King answered seriously. "I don't know what kind of miracle medicine is this! All I know is that it's carried by all the combatants in the Whitebeard Pirates! And this medicine not only heals injuries, it can even restore stamina!"
As someone who studied poisons, Queen was naturally interested in this medicine that could heal wounds. Queen took a "pea" and placed it in his palm. He frowned, crushed the pea, and even stuck out his tongue to carefully taste a bit.
"No taste!" Queen said with a frown. "But from the powder, I could pick up the flavor of several herbs!"
"Can you figure out the formula?" King asked, a little anxiously.
"I can try, but the chances aren't great," Queen replied, still frowning. After all, Queen specialized in creating poisons and didn't have much research into healing medicines like this.
"Queen, do your best to study this medicine!" Kaido might be a brute, but definitely not an idiot! He immediately waved his hand and gave the order. Kaido instantly recognized the value of this medicine! Even someone as strong as King could recover after taking it, which meant it worked regardless of one's strength!.
In other words, anyone could use this medicine to recover their injuries and stamina! In battle, that boost would be huge! Queen nodded seriously and hurried off to his lab with more than a dozen "peas."
.....
A day later. Queen walked in, sporting huge dark circles under his eyes. Kaido, King, and Jack all immediately looked over at him. Feeling those three scorching gazes, Queen could only give a wry smile and shake his head. Kaido saw this and couldn't help but sigh.
"That prescription must exist in the Whitebeard Pirates, maybe Whitebeard Newgate himself has it!" Kaido said with a vicious tone. "How about I stir up trouble with the Whitebeard Pirates again?" With that, Kaido was already grabbing his kanabo and heading for the door.
"Absolutely not, Kaido-sama!" King quickly stopped the already-heated Kaido of the Beasts. "At this point, Whitebeard Newgate definitely has that medicine on hand! If you just go over there, you're basically walking right into a trap!"
Kaido snapped back to his senses. True, his own strength was already a bit below Whitebeard Newgate! Even though Whitebeard Newgate couldn't kill him, beating him was still possible! And with Whitebeard Newgate also having access to this medicine, he could restore his injuries and stamina at any time! At that point, Kaido might really end up falling there!
"Then what do you suggest?" Kaido frowned and asked. "With such a great thing in Whitebeard hands, isn't that just infuriating?"
"The current Whitebeard Pirates' combat strength isn't something we can take on by ourselves!" King answered directly. "We should find someone familiar to help study it!"
"Someone familiar? Who?" Kaido asked right away.
"A scientist under Doflamingo!" King gave a name.
"You mean that Clown?" Queen asked curiously.
"That's right, Caesar Clown"
"We're already working with Doflamingo anyway!" King said to the group. "Apply pressure and get Caesar Clown on our side to help study this miracle medicine—what's the downside?"
Upon hearing this, Kaido's frown finally eased up. "King, I'll leave this matter to you. Do as you suggested!" Kaido of the Beasts waved his hand decisively, completely trusting King.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford. Fleet Admiral Sengoku office. Sengoku was seriously working through his paperwork at his desk. Suddenly, Tsuru came bursting in, arms full of documents. Garp, who'd been lounging on the sofa, enjoying some tea and senbei, was so startled that he nearly jumped.
"Tsuru, you almost scared me to death!" Garp grumbled in annoyance.
"Tsuru, what's up?" Sengoku pushed up his glasses and smiled. "This isn't like you at all."
Vice Admiral Tsuru, down with a heavy cold, ignored Garp and looked straight at Sengoku. "Sengoku, you need to see this." She spoke as she set up the video Den Den Mushi.
It was rare for Sengoku to see Tsuru so serious, so he quickly set down his pen and watched. In the video, two pirate crews fought on the waves, apparently battling for territory. But Sengoku sharp eyes instantly noticed the flags—the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates!
"Aren't these two Yonko crews always fighting?" Garp dug in his nose and dismissed it. "What's there to see?"
"Shut your mouth!" Tsuru scolded Garp angrily. "Just watch!"
Soon, as the video zoomed in, Sengoku immediately sensed something off! The Whitebeard Pirates' combatants, though already surrounded and beaten down, would pop a small pill, and suddenly all their wounds healed completely, their exhaustion vanished, and with renewed vigor they dived back into battle! Every single Whitebeard Pirate had the same experience! Very quickly, the Beasts Pirates were forced back, and before long, the Whitebeard Pirates had won the fight!
"Sengoku, do you see what's wrong?" Tsuru asked with a frown.
"Yes, that strange medicine—what on earth is that?" Sengoku said directly.
