The restlessness in the world is getting more and more intense.
Pirates, Marines, the underground world, and the royal families of various countries began to think about it.
There is not much time and choice left for them.
Rairyu...
Although he is sitting on a strong lineup like Marineford in G5.
And Marineford and the entire Marine seemed to have a tacit approval and support for him.
In addition to the Marine system, he also owns the Kingdom of Greenbit, Sakura Kingdom, Water 7, and Kingdom of Girona.
But if that's all...
Can it really stand up to the World Government?
Why does the World Government tolerate him again and again?
Where is the balance point of their game?
...
Ten Thousand Kingdoms - Totto Land.
"Mamama, He actually killed Rocks..."
On Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin sat nonchalantly on the huge cake throne while eating desserts and laughing.
"Mama." Katakuri hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but speak.
"We must make a choice or start taking action as soon as possible..."
Charlotte Linlin glanced at her second son, who was highly valued by her: "Do you have a choice... We don't have any extra choices now."
This "all nations" she spent decades building, even Homies, who had been given a soul by her, no longer had the joy of the past.
The disparity in power is already almost despairing.
Don't talk about Rairyu himself.
I am afraid that the destruction of all nations will be unstoppable just by the "senior officers" of G5 coming together as a team.
Rocks is also dead, and the "agreement" he had with the World Government expired the moment he died.
Katakuri didn't feel as confident as before.
In fact, he has felt the danger since the Summit War.
Although the Marines at that time did not try their best to kill anyone except Whitebeard for some reason.
But in the following two years, Rairyu, who was originally hidden in the fog, completely exposed his terrifying strength and ambition.
Blatantly controlling huge kingdoms, interfering in domestic wars, promoting wars among affiliated countries, and cultivating power all over the world...
As a new generation of "Marine Hero", he has unparalleled reputation and fans among the Marines.
His performance in the Summit War made his "G5 World Recruitment" as powerful as Marine Headquarters, and even made the pirates more nervous.
And his "tour cleaning" of the front part of the New World and the entire park made his reputation among the people also as high as the sky.
Vaguely, he has become a god-like figure.
Some people who are still suffering from war and hardship have begun to pray for his success and his rule.
Greenbit...
That tolerant, open, wealthy, and beautiful country.
Even though there was an attack, few people were injured and no one left there.
It has become the "Utopia" in many people's minds.
Katakuri frowned.
He didn't know what his mother was thinking, but that man's attitude towards pirates...
The Red Hair Pirates have been completely destroyed, and the Whitebeard Pirates...
News came two days ago that those guys who were pushed into the corner by G5 and the Blackbeard Pirates had been almost slaughtered by Shiryu of "Rain" alone.
In this world, the most capable pirate...
There were only three of them left.
But Katakuri knew that the title "Emperor of the Sea" had become a complete joke.
If I have to say it...
Maybe this title is more appropriate for that man.
The strongest and only one - the Emperor of the Sea!
Looking at his weak younger brothers and sisters behind him, Katakuri felt uncomfortable.
He himself is not afraid of death, but the lives of many younger brothers and sisters have not yet begun...
Surrender... Rairyu may not accept it... My mother may not agree either...
Fighting... the disparity in strength is huge. Even if it's only ten percent... No!
Even if there was a 5% or even 1% chance, Katakuri would be willing to risk his death.
Unfortunately, not...
In the end, he could only think of one way out...
"Kaido of the Beasts" entrenched in Wanokuni.
If we join forces with him... maybe there is a glimmer of hope...
But Charlotte Linlin just said it casually, seemingly not intending to get the answer from this calm second son.
As her eyes dropped, she fell into a deep sleep.
Homies and other cadres around her retreated one after another.
The jubilant nations fell into deathly silence.
Even the most foolish people know that their lives have entered a countdown.
Katakuri silently boarded his car and drove towards his island.
······
Zou.
Members of the Musketeers and Guardians stood in a row.
Behind them were thousands of members of the Mink Tribe.
Granny Cat was curled up in a blanket on the highest stone platform.
After the scene calmed down from the hustle and bustle, Granny Cat opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the young people below.
"Children..."
Granny Cat's weak voice sounded, and everyone looked at the stone platform attentively.
"The world is changing...Although Tahir said we can wait until the world changes before sharing the results, but..."
Granny Cat's voice was intermittent, as if she was going to die at any moment.
Sicilian looked over with concern. Granny Cat raised her hand and shook it, indicating that she was fine.
"Over the years, I have shown you many outside stories and told you some of your ancestors' past. You have the right to know these, and you also have the right to choose your own life."
Everyone looked solemn. Zou's difficult life made it very difficult for their race to continue. The long period of self-isolation also made them eager to see the outside world.
"We... originally belong to the sea and the earth. We should shuttle through the jungle and run on the grassland. But we have been trapped on the back of Zunesha for more than a thousand years..."
"The promises made by our ancestors should not be extended to future generations, and we should not use this as an excuse for future generations to sacrifice unconditionally and without reason. Now..."
Granny Cat nodded towards Shishilian.
Shishilian walked under the stone platform, turned around, and faced the other compatriots and said in a deep voice: "We don't want to be bound by 'fate' for no reason, and we shouldn't just sit back and accept it! The world is changing -"
"What we need, we have to fight for ourselves. What we desire, we have to work hard for!"
Groan!
Shishilian drew his sword and raised it above his head.
"For ourselves, for future generations, for the Mink Tribe! Those who are willing to fight for this—"
"Where!!?"
"Ouch!!!"
"Meow!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Waves of wild shouts rang out in the Forest of Whales.
A smile appeared on Granny Cat's wrinkled face.
Years of subtle efforts have finally come to fruition at this moment!
After the horns of the Mink Tribe stopped, Granny Cat said downwards: "I have already told Zunesha that you can go down to the next stop. Return to the sea, return to the land!"
"Return to the original 'home'..."
