"For us, Big Mom is very powerful, and she's always suspicious of others. On the battlefield, there will be people watching us closely. If we do anything unusual, we could be killed at any moment."
Capone Bege's words aren't exaggerated. When Big Mom gets angry, she won't hesitate to kill even her own children, let alone an outsider.
And after Big Mom gives her approval, she'll be even more cautious about such matters.
So, no one can even hope for the chance to betray Big Mom.
This isn't going to be a walk in the park. Hearing this, Kid immediately calm down
Despite his arrogance, Kid didn't want to die at such a young age. It just didn't make sense.
"So you had a plan all along. You could've said so sooner," Kid said, giving him a blank stare.
"However, before we continue, you need to tell me how you ended up with the Big Mom Pirates. I need to know everything before I can decide if I can trust you"
Capone Bege insisted.
"Do you doubt us? That doesn't seem like you"
Kid shook his head. He really didn't want to talk about his past experiences; they were too humiliating.
First, he was caught by Blackbeard, and then by Big Mom. He had no freedom at all. Compared to other supernovas, his situation was quite miserable.
So Kid didn't want to talk about his experience, but Capone Bege insisted on knowing all their information.
"That's the story. We originally want to join the Whitebeard Pirates, but Blackbeard capture us halfway, forcing us to join his crew"
"But then Blackbeard didn't have plans to fight Whitebeard. When he found out Whitebeard was gonna attack him, he simply ran away, well in the end he still died".
"After that, we were captured by Big Mom's crew and kept imprisoned. We were only released yesterday to join this war"
Killer recounted their experiences in detail. While Capone Bege felt sympathy for them, he also couldn't help but think they were too stupid
"Join the Whitebeard Pirates? How naive," Capone Bege dismissed their original idea.
"Huh? Got something to say?" Kid asked, sounding dissatisfied.
"With all due respect, joining the Whitebeard Pirates won't get you anywhere,"
Capone Bege said bluntly.
After Capone Bege's words, Kid and Killer fell silent immediately. It sounded more convincing and made a lot of sense.
However, after giving it some thought, Killer retorted: "That doesn't seem right. While we know the Whitebeard Pirates are strong, with commanders like Marco and Jozu, we're still supernovas. There should have been at least some chance for us."
"I still have a chance to awaken my Devil Fruit in the future, and there's plenty of room for me to get stronger. Couldn't Whitebeard have found a use for that?"
Kid added, still doesn't get what Bege mean
"Plus, this is the time when the Whitebeard Pirates need all the manpower they can get. If we decide to join them, how could they not find a use for us?"
Facing their rebuttals, Capone Bege shook his head and said, "If this were before the war, you might have been right. But the situation has changed now."
"Changed?" Kid suddenly wondered aloud.
"Yeah, you're really just coming out of a cave huh?. Whitebeard has already recruited plenty of powerful crew, there's rumour about a new guy who has Blackbeard devil fruit ability, Logia Dark fruit among his close guard, and even Jinbei, former Shichibukai, recently joined his crew. In such circumstances, what advantage do you think you can have?"
Capone Bege pointed out.
Kid and Killer were unaware of some news about the Whitebeard Pirates, but they had previously been in contact with Jozu.
From what they could gather at the time, it seemed Whitebeard was indeed recruiting powerful allies left and right.
Despite being supernovas, they had only recently entered the New World. In these seas, any supernova was essentially useless.
Here, strength is the only thing that matters. Only if you're strong enough can you truly command respect; otherwise, you won't have a voice.
Kid fell silent immediately, unable to refute Capone Bege. After a moment, Killer spoke up, "If that's the case, do you have any suggestions?"
"This decision is yours to make. My opinion doesn't matter much"
Capone Bege cautioned.
"But remember, Whitebeard isn't someone to take lightly. Joining him might not lead to a bright future for you."
Capone Bege had his own plan in mind. He didn't want to see Whitebeard's power continue to grow, even though Kid and Killer joining the Whitebeard Pirates wasn't even a big thing for Whitebeard.
But Capone Bege believed that even reducing the power of the Whitebeard Pirates by a single point was worth doing.
After hearing Capone Bege's words, Killer nodded. "We understand. Can you tell us about your plan? How can we survive this?"
Killer's idea is very simple: to survive the war between these two Emperor Pirates. Fighting against the Whitebeard Pirates would likely end badly for them.
Furthermore, if the Big Mom Pirates are defeated in the future, they won't have a good outcome.
Disobeying Big Mom's orders also would likely lead to execution by her crew.
"To ensure our survival, we must stand together. What I'm about to say is important. I hope you'll pay close attention. There won't be another chance to talk about this again!"
Repeating his words with increasing seriousness, Capone Bege's expression turned solemn as he lowered his voice.
"Yeah"
Kid and Killer both nodded firmly, fully understanding the seriousness of the situation.
Capone Bege glanced around, noticing that everything seemed normal. He began, "Firstly, after declaring the war against Whitebeard, Big Mom will certainly have us outsiders take the lead in the attack."
"External personnel? You mean pirate groups that aren't directly connected to Big Mom?"
Kid asked just to make sure, with a heavy voice.
"Yes, Big Mom's pirates are mainly her children or close confidants, while other subordinate pirate groups are essentially used by her, like us"
Capone Bege said seriously.
There are also many groups under Big Mom pirates. Although they're loyal to her, they're not as close to her. That's why this group of people is used to initiate the battle.
Capone Bege didn't know the specific plan of Big Mom, but this approach definitely seemed in line with her style.
