Chereads / One Piece - I'm Whitebeard / Chapter 297 - 296 Declaration of War

Chapter 297 - 296 Declaration of War

"So, we'll be sent to the battlefield first, right? Where exactly will Big Mom choose the battlefield?" 

Eustass Kid asked.

Since it was Big Mom who initiated the war, she would take the initiative and have the freedom to choose the battlefield place.

"I'm not sure about that, but I doubt it'll be at sea. Big Mom suffered a huge loss at sea against Whitebeard before"

Afterwards, Capone Bege took out a map and began studying it, trying to figure out where Big Mom might choose the battlefield.

"I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared," 

Killer exclaimed. Unlike Kid, Capone Bege seemed to be a thoughtful guy.

"Of course, you have to be cautious and thorough in everything you do"

Soon, Capone Bege identified three potential locations that Big Mom might choose as the battlefield. These places were far from Big Mom's territory.

This way, Big Mom's territory wouldn't be at risk of destruction, and it would also be close to Whitebeard's territory, all of them being close to the interior.

"These three places are possible. Let's write them down first, then we can plan accordingly," 

Capone Bege suggested.

"Will we be on the same ships?" 

Eustass Kid asked his only confusion, doesn't really get what Bege talk about

"Even if we're on the same ships, there won't be a chance to talk until we reach the battlefield," 

Capone Bege replied promptly.

"Can Big Mom really pull this off? If we can't talk, won't we just be like prisoners sent off to fight?" 

Eustass Kid questioned skeptically.

Killer remained silent for a moment, then suddenly noticed the teapot moving on the table, suddenly a thought crossed his mind.

"Could these things be used to monitor us?" Killer asked, his tone suspicious.

"Yes, but these ordinary Homies—Big Mom will likely use a higher level of Homies to monitor us"

"If we act suspiciously, Homies will detect it and attack," Capone Bege warned.

"Then how strong are those Homies in combat?" Killer asked again.

"The Homies used for surveillance can fight, but their combat effectiveness isn't strong. However, once we are discovered, they'll raise the alarm for others on the ship. Each ship likely has several ministers arranged by Big Mom. You're definitely not their match" 

Capone Bege explained grimly.

"So, according to what you're saying, we just have to obediently enter the battlefield, and we can't escape until we're actually on it?" 

Eustass Kid clarified.

Capone Bege shook his head and said, "Of course not. If you wait until you're on the battlefield, it'll be too late. Do you really think the Whitebeard Pirates would let you go because you want to? There's no room for explanations on the battlefield; you'll be seen as an enemy. Trying to escape would just put you in a tougher spot."

Hearing that, Eustass Kid and Killer exchanged glances. Eustass Kid, feeling a bit impatient, immediately exclaimed, "So what's the plan then? Just tell us already!"

"As the leader of the 11 Supernovas, can't you keep your attitude? I can't help but doubt if you're even qualified to form an alliance with me."

Capone Bege said casually, then exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Damn, I really want to punch you right now. If you manage to escape, Capone Bege, we'll settle this in a fight," 

Eustass Kid said angrily.

"Hahaha, fair enough. But let's focus on getting through the war first before we fight each other," 

Capone Bege replied.

"After we board the ship, the crew will all be Big Mom's people, so you can't just attack them easily. You have to wait for the most critical moment, then strike and retreat quickly" 

Capone Bege advised.

"Then when's the right time? If we can't escape on the battlefield and it's impossible to do it at sea, there's no way out," 

Killer pointed out.

"Of course not. We have to wait for the moment we land; that's our best chance to escape. We need to unite, quickly defeat the minister on board, and then immediately make our escape from that place," 

Capone Bege explained.

"That's the plan, but what if we can't resolve it in an instant?" Eustass Kid asked.

"Well, then it's in the hands of fate" 

Capone Bege said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

As Capone Bege was speaking with Kid, the square suddenly fell silent, and the voice of Big Mom enveloped the surroundings.

"We're gonna kill Whitebeard!" 

Big Mom's voice echoed from the highest point of the square as she publicly declared war against the Whitebeard Pirates. Behind her stood Charlotte Katakuri and other core members of the Big Mom crew.

"Damn, there's no stopping this" 

Katakuri muttered, his expression showing slight concern. As Big Mom's son, he had no choice but to follow her lead.

However, he strongly disagreed with Big Mom's decision, seeing it as a self-defeating action.

Once the war begins, Cake Island, which Big Mom has ruled for many years, will likely be destroyed, and the entire Big Family will suffer severe consequences.

Although he doesn't have much affection for Big Mom, Charlotte Katakuri has always valued this big family.

Charlotte Katakuri has always played the role of the big brother in this large family of Big Mom's children. He's admired by everyone for his presence.

And now, Big Mom's actions are undeniably sending her children to the most dangerous battlefield, where they may lose their lives—an outcome Charlotte Katakuri finds unacceptable in any circumstance.

However, Charlotte Katakuri has no way to openly resist Big Mom. Even if he did resist, it would be futile and could lead to a loss of trust. Therefore, he won't do anything so foolish.

The only thing he can do is fight to protect more family members in the war, especially his sister, Charlotte Brulee.

"Everyone, this battle is against Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors. We must give it our all and show Whitebeard the might of the Big Mom Pirates!"

Big Mom said the numerous forces gathered below the square.

"Kill Whitebeard!"

"Kill Whitebeard!"

The various forces had mixed feelings. While many were unwilling to go to war with Whitebeard, Big Mom also had extreme followers who obeyed all orders.

Some also took advantage of the chaos and followed the current. In short, the voices in the square were loud, with many responding positively to Big Mom.

"Hahaha, mama, it seems our morale for this battle is very high!'

Napoleon, the double-horned hat on Big Mom's head, it was said that this was one of Big Mom's strongest Homies. Crafted with Big Mom's own soul, it had the ability to transform into a giant sword, making it incredibly powerful.

"Of course, even Whitebeard will pay a heavy price at Mama's hands" 

Sun Prometheus said arrogantly.

"Hmm, let's hope for the best" 

Thunder Homie Zeus said pessimistically.

"Mama-mamaaa, don't worry, kido..." 

Big Mom laughed. Then, her expression completely changed, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, her tongue sticking out. Burning anger emanated from her eyes, with Conqueror's Haki subconsciously emitted.

"HE WILL PAY!"
