"Are they saying that Kaido told them to escape?"

Hiding behind the space at Mr. Christmas, watching Queen and the others discuss, Robin asked a question.

"According to them, Kaido lost an arm and a leg and let them escape, so Little Qiu may have gained the upper hand."

Robin smiled and exchanged a glance with Mr. Christmas, both feeling the joy in each other's eyes.

Although they harbored illusions, they never expected that Xia Qiu would actually suppress Kaido.

Although Xia Qiu was also injured, it was no secret that he could heal his injuries.

"In that case..."

Mr. Christmas thought for a moment and said, "Let's give this message to Ace and the others, and tell them not to try to block our way back, but to attack directly this way. We'll provide support from here."

"Good."

Robin and Mr. Christmas left and disappeared into the distance.

"We've received word that Kaido in critical condition, and the president has gained the upper hand."

On the edge of an island between a deserted island and Wano Country, Heckle hung up the Den Den Mushi and spoke loudly.

"Does the president have the upper hand?"

Everyone's faces lit up with joy upon hearing this answer.

"That's right, according to Mr. Christmas news."

Heckle slowly recounted the information they had gathered Mr. Christmas, looking at everyone and saying, "They want us to launch an attack directly."

"They actually did it."

Sabo was filled with surprise. Mr. Xia had actually suppressed Kaido. Didn't that mean that his strength had reached the level of Four Emperors?

"I told you the president could do it."

Cecilia looked somewhat smug.

"So what should we do next?" Koala couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, we'll attack directly."

Ace's eyes burned with fierce fire. "We don't need to wait here for them to come back."

After several days of treatment, most of the people's injuries have improved.

As a high-level combatant, Luo's injuries had already recovered to about 70-80% by yesterday. After recovering from some of his injuries the day before yesterday, he treated himself and others, which greatly accelerated the healing process.

By yesterday, Law had recovered 90% of his strength, so they left the island provided by the Revolutionary Army and stopped on the route between the deserted island and Wano Country. When the Beasts Pirates were about to leave, Mr. Christmas and Robin infiltrated the Beasts Pirates. Ace went to meet them based on their Vivre Card, intending to take advantage of Kaido's weakness and launch an attack.

With Law, Ace, and Sabo combined, they were enough to contend with Queen, Ken, and a weakened Kaido.

If Kaido appears, Sabo will face Kaido, while Ace and Law will face Queen and Ken respectively. Sabo's chances of winning are actually the highest.

In particular, he has continued to hone his Devil Fruit ability in the past few days, and his strength has now ranked first among the three.

However, it seems that the president has the upper hand now, and the Beasts Pirates have no intention of leaving.

Even with several fighting crews, Queen and Ken's Beasts Pirates were powerless to withstand their offensive.

Moreover, the president is there too.

This is the best time.

"Let's go..."

Everyone boarded the ship: Baroque Works, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and Law.

The ship slowly sailed into the distance, but Sabo gathered everyone together and said, "

"We'll arrive at our destination in about four hours. Let's talk to Mr. Christmas and discuss the specific plan to annihilate the Beasts Pirates here."

"Dad, take a look at this news."

On the Moby Dick, the crowd was in turmoil. Marco quickly walked up to Whitebeard, handed him the Whitebeard, and said, "Something's happened."

"Something happened? There's no need to panic like this."

Whitebeard took the newspaper, focused his gaze on it, and carefully read through it before his expression changed.

"King Neptune of Fish-Man Island conspired with a criminal group to murder hundreds of people and has been arrested."

"This..."

Whitebeard browsed the news, but his expression grew increasingly grim.

"King Neptune of Fish-Man Island conspired with the Whitebeard Pirates to brutally rule the kingdom, causing widespread resentment among the people. The World Government sent agents to investigate, but they were killed by King Fish-Man Island in conjunction with Baroque Works. The rebels were then brutally suppressed, with hundreds of Fish-Man killed and thousands of Fish-Man enslaved..."

The World Government arrested him, tried him, sentenced him to death, and will publicly execute him on the 22nd, following the conclusion of the World Government Conference.

Whitebeard looked at the recorded crimes with immense anger. All of this was fabricated. Neptune was kind and loved by the people, so how could he be a tyrannical ruler?

The so-called resistance is the true representative of evil, adhering to the ideology of Fish-Man supremacy and being extremely hostile to humans.

Moreover, it was the resistance forces that killed the World Government agents.

These crimes were all fabricated and made out of nothing.

"Public execution?"

Upon seeing these words, Whitebeard's angry expression softened, and he said with a wry smile, "So that's how it is. It was I who caused the Neptune brothers' trouble."

"Dad, what should we do?"

Ace walked up to Whitebeard and asked softly, "King Neptune is Whitebeard's brother, and Neptune ended up in this situation because he helped Whitebeard."

"This whole thing started because of us."

Whitebeard's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "We have no choice but to go and save him."

"But I'm afraid it will be a trap."

Ace said softly, "They fabricated the crimes of King Neptune and publicly executed him, probably to lure you there."

Even if King Neptune had let Ace escape, he wouldn't have faced death; at most, he would have been sentenced to ten years in prison.

But they fabricated lies to make him guilty enough to warrant the death penalty, to be publicly executed and announced to the world— Neptune didn't deserve that.

They had only one goal: to lure Whitebeard to them.

"I know."

Whitebeard sighed and said, "But I have no choice but to go. They saw these things too, which is why they chose to do it this way."

Neptune plummeted because Whitebeard was captured; if Whitebeard hadn't shown up, Neptune's reputation would likely have been ruined.

Moreover, Whitebeard a man of great loyalty and righteousness; he would save his brothers even if it weren't for fame.

At this point, Whitebeard looked at Marco and said, "Contact Fish-Man Island. They're probably panicking now. Don't let them make any rash moves. Tell them I'll bring Neptune back myself."

"Yes."

Marco immediately sent someone to make contact.

"They thought that because I'm old, they could take advantage of me."

Whitebeard said coldly, "But they will regret their decision today."

"Your Highness, you cannot go. We cannot fight against the World Government."

The Right Minister grabbed Sharktooh's arm and said loudly.

Sharktooh said coldly, "My father has been framed with fabricated charges. This is a trap set by the World Government. We must go and save him."

"If we become enemies with the World Government, we will only face certain death," the Right Minister warned.

"We are not afraid to die."

Ryuboshi said angrily, "It is a disgrace to let the World Government pin the blame on us."

"But if you do this, Fish-Man Island will be in danger," the Right Minister added.

"Don't worry."

Sharktooh said, "We're underwater, so it's difficult for the Navy to get here. Even if pirates come, with Whitebeard's protection, they wouldn't dare do anything to us."

Ryuboshi also said, "We will let Hody Jones stay. If we and our father die, Hody Jones will become the king of this country."

"Eldest brother, second brother, I have no interest in being king."

"If you're willing to go, let me go too," said the Hody Jones.

"No, one person must stay."

Sharktooh said, "Hody Jones, you're the youngest, so stay here. Ryuboshi and I will go. Let's go, the army is already assembled."

Sharktooh and Ryuboshi strode towards the door, but at that moment, a voice rang out, "Prince, wait a moment, the Whitebeard Pirates have sent a message."

"Whitebeard?"

Sharktooh's face lit up with joy, and he asked, "What information?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates warned us not to act rashly."

The messenger said, "Twelve days from now, he will personally bring King Neptune back here."

"This..."

Sharktooh frowned upon hearing this.

"Whitebeard is one of the Four Emperors."

The Right Minister quickly said, "They are far more powerful than us. First Prince and Second Prince, let's not do anything else for now and wait patiently for their message."

"It's almost impossible for us to save our father."

Ryuboshi seemed tempted and said, "What if the Whitebeard Pirates intervened..."

You're right.

Sharktooh nodded and said, "We can't save Father King on our own. The chances of success will increase if the Whitebeard Pirates join us. But we can't rely on the Whitebeard Pirates alone. Let's hold back for now and continue to contact them to see if we can cooperate to save Father King together."
