The Strongest?
"Hehehe, Big Mom, is this little injury enough to paralyze you?"
Kaido laughed heartily.
He stood amidst a ruined wasteland, with Charlotte Big Mom lying in front of him.
The old woman had many deep, crisscrossing wounds on her body, each one cutting through the skin and flesh, severing the bone.
Strangely enough, for a monster like Charlotte Big Mom, this level of injury was not enough to completely incapacitate her.
After all, this woman's vitality could only be described as terrifying.
The Golden Lion, floating on the other side, looked at Charlotte Big Mom's completely white hair and laughed, "Hehehehe, did you use your last remaining soul to heal your injuries? I've never seen you like this before, Big Mom."
"That's true, and that kid's attack might even have been laced with poison, but,"
Kaido understood and laughed, "To be forced to this extent, how pathetic, Big Mom. It's all because you're too weak."
Perhaps this is what they call superficiality—rushing to the scene to mock a friend in distress.
"Kaido!"
Charlotte Big Mom spoke with difficulty.
If her soul reserves are still sufficient, her current injuries are not unhealable.
The problem is that both her reserve of souls and her own soul are now exhausted.
She could only angrily endure the mockery of her former underlings.
"Alright,"
Kaido shook his head. "Big Mom, where in Whole Cake Island are there a lot of people? I'll take you there first to replenish your soul reserves."
Despite the mockery, Kaido hadn't forgotten the kindness shown by the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, nor the support the Charlotte Family had given him years ago when the Whitebeard Pirates attacked.
"Hahaha! Your relationship is still as good as it was back then! I'm really curious why you two aren't married."
The Golden Lion laughed heartily, his body floating into the air. "Well then, I'll be off."
The play is over; there's no need to linger any longer.
Kaido didn't care, and transformed into Azure Dragon, using clouds to lift Charlotte Big Mom up.
"Kaido, I heard what that bastard Sirius said. How about we team up after all this time? I'll definitely not let that brat get away with this!"
"Hehehe, Big Mom, are you looking down on me?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Haven't you seen the strength of Sirius and his crew? My Charlotte Family can't beat them, do you think your Beasts Pirates can? Who do you think can defeat your precious daughter and the mechanical warship? King? Or Queen?"
"..."
The Sirius was flying at an astonishing speed, reaching the sea area hundreds of nautical miles away from the Whole Cake Island in just ten minutes.
Then it gently landed on the sea.
"It's much easier than I imagined."
Ulti crossed her arms and said with a hint of smugness, "I thought the Charlotte Family was so strong, but they were defeated by us so easily!"
"Even though we are all Pirate Emperor, it doesn't mean that our powers are equal," Law said with a smile.
We are stronger than anyone else!
Jack's calm declaration.
"Of course!" Page One chimed in.
Sirius simply smiled softly.
It seems this battle has indeed boosted everyone's confidence.
Yes, if the Charlotte Family was defeated so easily, how much stronger could the other Pirate Emperor be?
We are the strongest!
"We'll talk about boasting later, so Sirius, what exactly is written on this stone?" Maria looked at the large stone placed on the deck with great curiosity.
This red stone is their greatest achievement in this war.
"Yes, the legendary stone that records the Final Island, what exactly is written on it!"
Yamato chuckled and patted Sirius on the back.
Without a doubt, this stone and its three brothers are the most important in all the Poneglyph.
Just by putting them together, we can find the location of Laugh Tale.
So, what is recorded on this stone?
Sirius translated carefully.
After deciphering all the text, he sighed with some disappointment.
"What's wrong?" Yamato asked quickly.
"It seems to indicate a location," Sirius said.
"Seems like? What do you mean by 'seems like'?" Luo asked.
"The information is incomplete; certain keywords are missing."
Sirius shook his head. "We can only decipher the correct location after we find all four stones."
If each of the four stones marks a location, and Laugh Tale is located at the intersection of the diagonals of the four locations, then it's not necessary to find all four stones; finding just three is enough to define the area.
Unfortunately, it seems there's no chance to exploit this loophole now.
"It doesn't matter," Jack said. "That was our goal anyway."
Sirius slightly, confirming that was indeed the case.
"Let's set off then! Our next target is the Beasts Pirates!"
"Oh!!"
The war that took place in the Whole Cake Island ended quickly, but its aftershocks were only just beginning to spread throughout the world.
It was no secret that Sirius had challenged Charlotte Big Mom; the World Economic Journal had already spread the news around the world.
Everyone is watching the situation on Whole Cake Island.
However, since the Whole Cake Island has been completely blocked, no one knows what the situation is, and everyone can only worry anxiously.
However, with an interview with the World Economic Journal by a Mr. Golden Lion who wished to remain anonymous, the causes and consequences of this war finally became clear.
Morgans immediately spread the news around the world.
"The Charlotte Family failed? Are you kidding me? The difference in power is so huge, yet the Sirius Pirates completely defeated the Big Mom Pirates?"
"Monsters! The entire pirate crew is a monster!"
"White Wolf Yamato, the Warship Black —aside from Charlotte Big Mom, the Big Mom Pirates simply can't find anyone who can rival them!"
"Charlotte Linlin lost! She was defeated by Black Wolf so easily! Just how strong is that man?! Even Whitebeard and Kaido couldn't do something like this!"
"Is it possible that the current Black Wolf is the strongest man and the strongest creature in the world?"
"The strongest?"
Undoubtedly, the outcome of this war caused a huge uproar at sea.
Who is Charlotte Big Mom?
She's been famous for decades, a true top monster on the high seas, the Strongest in the World woman, and a renowned Pirate Emperor!
Black Wolf defeated her so easily; could any other Pirate Emperor do the same?
The strongest!
Why can't this man be the strongest?
