New World.
A huge Moby Dick had sailed to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World, and everyone reunited with the crew left at sea.
"Pops, Marco, Ace, why did it take you so long to come back?" The captain of the seventh division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Rajax, curiously asked Whitebeard.
Whitebeard turned slightly, a bit surprised, "Oh? So long? How long?"
Rayleigh stroked his chin and thought carefully before answering, "It seems like it's been almost two or three months, right?"
"Two or three months?" Kakashi, standing next to Whitebeard, was surprised. "Shouldn't the time flow between the two worlds be different?"
In Kakashi's impression, only about half a month would pass on the sea, while one or two years would pass in the ninja world.
Conversely, if they stayed in the ninja world for one or two months, only a day or two would pass on the sea.
"Hehe, it sounds like... the time flow has become synchronized!"
Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue. "Is it because we've fully mastered the power of the Dragon Vein? Or is it something else? Time is really hard to grasp!"
Marco pondered, "If the time flow is the same, doesn't that mean we can't send some newcomers to the ninja world to train for a while and then bring them back to the sea?"
Actually, Marco had initially planned to do just that.
But now it seemed that plan was dead in the water.
"Gurararararara! Whydo you have to worry about that so much?"
Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh. "If the time becomes the same, then it becomes the same! As long as it doesn't interfere with me and you bunch of idiot sons having a banquet, it's fine!"
Whitebeard was very open-minded about these things.
"Idiot sons, what's been happening on the sea during this time? No one with a death wish has come to provoke us, right?"
Whitebeard asked his sons.
"No one has come to provoke us. In fact, quite a few pirates want to join us, hoping to become a subsidiary pirate crew of the Whitebeard Pirates and join the grand fleet. But we refused them because most of these guys are really nasty pirates. If they joined us, it would make the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation in the New World as bad as rats in the street."
Namur answered.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates had a fearsome reputation in the New World, their "reputation" was limited to being fearsome and not as notorious as other pirate crews.
The Whitebeard Pirates rarely engaged in robbery and looting. They mostly fought other pirates or robbed Marines and nobles.
Other pirate crews were different. Many of them would do crazy things like massacring towns.
Such pirate crews could never be accepted.
"Gurararararara! Well done, idiot sons! Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join my pirate crew!"
Whitebeard was very pleased with his sons' actions.
"By the way, Pops!"
The captain of the 11th division, Kingdew, suddenly spoke up. "Recently, something big happened. I heard that the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sengoku, resigned. It seems it was just over half a month ago. Two Marine Admirals fought for the position of Fleet Admiral, and they fought for ten days and nights."
"One of the Marine Admirals was that guy called Akainu, and the other was a guy called Aokiji. Their ten-day and night battle reportedly permanently changed the climate of an island...."
Marco raised an eyebrow. "Sengoku resigned? Akainu and Aokiji fought? So now, one of them is the Marine Fleet Admiral?"
Marco asked, "Who won?!"
"It seems it was Aokiji," Kingdew said gleefully. "That bastard Akainu had his leg broken by Pops and was almost cut in half by Pops! With such serious injuries, how could he win the fight for Fleet Admiral?"
"Aokiji?" Ace pondered. "That nickname sounds familiar! Which Admiral is that?!"
"He's the one who ate the Ice-Ice Fruit," Marco replied.
Ace suddenly realized, "So it was him! He actually became the Fleet Admiral! But wasn't there another Admiral? Why did only two Admirals fight? Shouldn't all three Admirals be fighting? Does the other Admiral not want to be the Marine Fleet Admiral?"
"Who knows?" Kingdew shrugged.
For the Marines, the change of Fleet Admiral was a huge upheaval.
But for the pirates, it was just a topic of conversation.
Even for the Whitebeard Pirates, it was no exception.
After all, the Marine headquarters was in the first half of the Grand Line, while the Whitebeard Pirates' territory was in the New World.
Even if the Marines changed ten Fleet Admirals in a day, it wouldn't threaten the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Gurarara! Sengoku actually retired?" Whitebeard was a bit surprised and a bit sentimental.
An old rival had just exited the stage of history.
A young ice brat had taken the old rival's place.
In the blink of an eye... a new generation had replaced the old.
It really made one sigh!
...
Meanwhile.
Wano Country.
Above Onigashima, dark clouds rolled, thunder roared, and huge wind blades sharper than Itachi's slashes swept everywhere, easily tearing the ground into huge cracks, almost dismembering the entire Onigashima.
The crew members of the Beasts Pirates were either hiding behind buildings or behind sturdy rocks.
They were all trembling with fear, cold sweat streaming down.
"Boss Kaido! Big Mom! Please stop fighting! If you keep fighting, Onigashima won't hold up! Please, stop fighting!"
A small officer of the Beasts Pirates shouted at the top of his lungs, but unfortunately, his voice wasn't loud enough.
No one could hear him shouting.
Because above Onigashima, Kaido and Big Mom were fighting fiercely.
"Mamamama! Kaido! Only if you and I join forces can we defeat Whitebeard! Otherwise, Whitebeard will come for you sooner or later! Don't forget... you killed a member of the Whitebeard Pirates back then!"
Big Mom slashed at Kaido with all her might, laughing grimly, "Do you think... that vengeful guy Whitebeard will let you go? Will he forget that grudge?"
Kaido raised his spiked club and blocked Big Mom's slash.
"Linlin, you want to team up with me?" Kaido also grinned, his muscular arms bulging with veins, "Are you sure your Big Mom Pirates are qualified to team up with me?"
"I heard... two of your Sweet Commanders were poached by the Whitebeard Pirates, and you didn't even dare to say a word! Uorororo!!!"
Big Mom's eyes flashed with intense anger.
Kaido, that bastard, really knew how to hit a sore spot.
"Totto Land!!!"
The two had been fighting for a day and a night, indicating that their cooperation talks hadn't reached an agreement.
But Onigashima was on the verge of collapse.
As time passed, when Onigashima was about to be completely destroyed, both Kaido and Big Mom stopped in unison.
The earth-shattering commotion finally ceased.
This made the pirates of the Beasts Pirates breathe a sigh of relief.
If Onigashima had been destroyed, the crew members left on Onigashima might have been buried at sea along with it.
Fortunately, Kaido stopped in time.
Fortunately, Big Mom of the Big Mom Pirates finally stopped her rampage.
This allowed them to keep their lives.
"Urorororo!" Kaido, carrying an incredibly thick spiked club, shouted angrily at the hiding pirates, "What are you standing around for? Go get the wine from the cellar!"
Then...
He looked directly at Big Mom in front of him and asked, "Linlin... you traveled all this way to my territory just to propose an alliance to attack the Whitebeard Pirates together?"
Big Mom responded bluntly, "If we defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, you get seventy percent of Whitebeard's territory, and I only want thirty percent, plus Katakuri and Smoothie!"
The territory was secondary; getting her children back was the most important.
Especially Katakuri, who was her chosen successor.
Being taken by that bastard Whitebeard...
How could Big Mom not be furious?!
Fortunately, losing to Whitebeard last time made her much more clear-headed about this matter.
She didn't impulsively try to get them back alone.
Because that would only result in another beating.
So... Big Mom thought of teaming up with another Emperor.
She ruled out Red-Haired Shanks.
Because she had almost no relationship with Shanks.
Going to him would be a waste of time.
But Kaido was different.
Back when Kaido was a newcomer in the Rocks Pirates, Big Mom considered herself to have taken good care of him.
Seeing Kaido not respond, Big Mom coldly mocked, "What? Are you afraid of Whitebeard?"
"Urorororo!" Kaido was certainly not afraid of Whitebeard.
He squinted his eyes and said, "Linlin, seventy percent of Whitebeard's territory isn't enough for the Beasts Pirates! I can help you get Katakuri and Smoothie back, but the Beasts Pirates want all of Whitebeard's territory!"
He continued, "That's the condition for our alliance. If you don't accept, then get lost!"
Big Mom's smile turned a bit sinister.
This bastard Kaido really knew how to push his luck!
"...Fine!"
But in the end, Big Mom nodded.
As long as they could defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and get her son and daughter back... what did it matter if all the conquered territory went to that bastard Kaido?
The Beasts Pirates' base was in Wano Country, and they certainly didn't have the manpower to take over Whitebeard's territory.
At that time...
The Big Mom Pirates could just take Whitebeard's territory back from the Beasts Pirates, couldn't they?
A simple plan formed in Big Mom's mind.
"Urororororo! Everyone!!!"
Kaido roared to the sky: "Get ready, everyone! The Beasts Pirates are going to crush the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Urorororororor!!!"
...
The Beasts Pirates' mobilization ability is very strong. The moment Kaido and Big Mom decided to form an alliance, the entire Beasts Pirates started gathering manpower and weapons.
However, the Beasts Pirates couldn't possibly all go out.
After all, there were still some samurai forces in Wano Country that hadn't been cleared out.
Guy left behind "Queen," "Jack," "Flying Six," and more than ten thousand pirates from the Beasts Pirates.
He let them stabilize the situation in Wano Country for the time being.
Guy took away just about ten thousand people. At the same time, he also took the Beasts Pirates' deputy emperor "Fire Disaster · King."
The reason Kaido agreed to ally with Big Mom wasn't just because he coveted the fertile territory held by the Whitebeard Pirates.
The more important reason was that the balance between the Four Emperors had been broken.
Whitebeard's strength made Guy feel threatened!
In the past...
It was almost impossible for one Four Emperors' pirate crew to defeat another. It would usually end in mutual destruction.
Now...
Whitebeard alone could press the entire Big Mom Pirates to the ground.
His strength had become unbelievably strong!
This was the main reason for breaking the balance!
Big Mom immediately contacted all the ministers in Totto Land and started mobilizing them.
Thus...
The two war machines in the New World combined and started operating quickly!
...
Marine Headquarters.
An intelligence officer Marine Vice Admiral hurried to the Fleet Admiral's office. He urgently reported to Kuzan, who was sitting in the office: "Da... ahem! Fleet Admiral! Something has happened!"
He almost blurted out "Admiral."
Now Admiral Kuzan was Fleet Admiral Kuzan.
This Fleet Admiral had recently defeated Admiral Akainu in a duel with a slight advantage.
Of course...
It was probably because Akainu had lost a leg.
But, a win is a win.
"What is it?" Kuzan, still wrapped in many bandages, with burn marks underneath, asked.
Obviously, the ten-day and ten-night battle had left him seriously injured.
"Our undercover agent in Totto Land sent back information - the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates have decided to form an alliance to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates together!"
Upon hearing this, Kuzan suddenly raised his eyelids, his eyes showing a bit of shock.
Two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews were going to form an alliance?
To deal with the Whitebeard Pirates together?
"Hoo..." He exhaled slightly, a cold breath coming out of his mouth: "Just as I took office, I was given such a difficult problem? An alliance between two of the Four Emperors, if I remember correctly, this is unprecedented!"
Kuzan didn't expect the pressure of being the Marine Fleet Admiral to be so great.
He hadn't even warmed his seat, and he was already given a big problem.
"Fleet Admiral, what should we Marines do?"
"Let me think..."
...
