The World's Strongest Man and Woman Face Off?

"Kaido actually brought Big Mom with him!"

What is he trying to do?

The naval personnel on both Flying Warship raised their guard to the highest level.

Dozens of officers and soldiers dressed in Coat of Justice drew their swords and raised their fists, using Geppo to create a defensive line in the air.

The Oniwabanshu ninjas did not recognize Big Mom.

But after seeing the navy's fierce reaction, they realized that the visitors were up to no good.

This prompted the ninjas, who had already identified Mihawk as the shogun of Wano Country, to quickly set off under the leadership of Fukurokuju and others, to protect him and Gion in the middle.

Unfortunately, they didn't know the skill of Geppo, which allows them to walk in the air, so they could only stand on the deck and stare intently at the approaching Azure Dragon and Thundercloud.

"Mihawk, is Kaido going to betray us?"

Gion's pretty face showed a worried expression. With their fighting strength, they would have a hard time dealing with Kaido alone, let alone another Emperor of the Sea.

"It's unlikely; he has no reason to do that."

Mihawk replied expressionlessly.

In the past, there might have been another possibility: Kaido planned to join forces with Big Mom to take over Wano Country, and then capture Kaido, a Celestial Dragons, as a hostage.

As a result, due to the extremely harsh climate surrounding Wano Country, the Navy is simply unable to dispatch a large-scale fleet to subdue it.

But now, this approach is no longer feasible.

The World Government has already mastered the ability to mass-produce Flying Warship, Kaido should be well aware that Wano Country's natural defenses are no longer a major problem.

Moreover, doing so also eliminated his possibility of conquering Otherworld.

So Mihawk was actually quite calm, but just in case, he didn't order the navy and ninjas to lower their guard.

After all, the other side is One Piece!

"Mamamama~~"

"Looks like my arrival scared that Celestial Dragons brat, Mom~"

Standing atop 'Zeus', Charlotte Linlin looked at the tense naval officers and burst into laughter, completely unconcerned.

"That's normal, Linlin, wait a moment, I'll go talk to that kid!"

Without waiting for a reply, Azure Dragon reverted to human form and leaped toward the warship where Mihawk was located.

"This"

The naval officers hesitated as Kaido approached so brazenly, unsure whether they should intervene.

"Let him come here!"

Fortunately, Mihawk gave the order at that moment.

Kaido landed smoothly on the deck, but his size and weight shook the entire warship, startling the ninjas.

The domineering aura of that powerful figure was truly terrifying.

"Kid, Big Mom wants to talk to you, or rather, she wants to talk to the World Government behind you!"

Kaido didn't approach any further, carefully maintaining a 'safe distance' between them. However, his words piqued Mihawk's interest, and he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I've already told her about that, it's not appropriate to talk about it here," Kaido teased jokingly.

Mihawk considered it for a moment, and given the disparity in strength between the two sides, Big Mom had no need to resort to close-quarters assassination, so he agreed.

"Let her come over, let's talk inside the cabin." With that, Mihawk turned and walked towards the cabin door, but stopped after a few steps, turning back to Gion who was still standing there. "You come with me."

He felt that Gion to learn about the Star Gate and the Otherworld, especially since even the Supreme Government Conference had been held.

"Okay!"

A moment later, the four gathered in a conference room inside the warship's cabin. The space was large enough that even with Kaido and Big Mom standing there, there was still plenty of room.

However, dozens of naval officers and Oniwabanshu ninjas were guarding the door.

"Your name is Mihawk, right? I've heard about the Star Gate from Kaido, and I'm very interested~~"

Charlotte Linlin didn't even look for a seat; she just stood opposite her, grinning happily.

She is not as overweight as she was twenty years ago. Although she is not as graceful and sexy as she was more than ten years ago, she only looks like she has a thicker neck and a slightly wider face. Overall, she is still a mature and beautiful woman.

"So you also want to join the Three Armies like Kaido?"

"No, no, no, Mom, I don't want to be a soldier! I want to join the World Government as the king of Affiliated Nation!"

Charlotte Linlin looked at Mihawk and Gion with confidence, which indeed surprised them.

Is there anything else?

Mihawk was speechless for a moment, then asked again.

"Certainly!"

"My Totto Land Kingdom must have a seat at the Reverie, the bounty on my head must be removed, and I must be able to freely enter and exit that Star Gate!"

Charlotte Linlin got more and more excited as she spoke, but she didn't think these demands were excessive. With her powerful strength and numerous elite children under her command, the World Government would definitely make a fortune if she joined.

"Although I don't have the authority to make that decision, there are a few things I need to confirm before I contact headquarters for you. For example, will you abide by the laws of the World Government after joining? Will you obey the orders of the World Government? Will you remove the One Piece crew's flag?"

Mihawk asked three questions in a row, his face expressionless.

"This one?"

Charlotte Linlin hesitated, but in the end, the allure of Otherworld desserts and delicacies overcame everything, and she nodded, "As long as the orders aren't too outrageous, I'll naturally accept them, and the One Piece crew can retreat!"

"In that case, I will relay your message back later, but before that, you need to do something for the World Government."

Mihawk looked at the World's Strongest woman with a meaningful gaze.

"Mama~ Tell me!"

Charlotte Linlin put her hands on her hips and readily agreed, after all, there were few things in this world that she couldn't do.

"We've received word that the man known as 'the World's Strongest Man,' 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, will soon arrive here with his entire crew. I need you to stop him!"

In Mihawk's opinion, Whitebeard's title of "the World's Strongest Man" should be in quotation marks, while Big Mom's title of "the World's Strongest" is genuine and without any problem.

"What?!"

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who have a very close 'sibling' relationship, shouted in almost unison, which was quite comical.

Why did that monster come here? What did you do to provoke it?

Kaido's expression turned serious.

"That's how it is," Mihawk briefly explained the whole story, and Charlotte Linlin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

"Mamama~~"

"So it was just to hold off 'Whitebeard' for a few days? That should be fine!"

Unlike Kaido, she was already a veteran top fighter, and with her equally monstrous talent, even Whitebeard wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short time.

Didn't that Celestial Dragons say that bastard Garp would be here in three days at most? What's there to consider?

Mihawk was not surprised that Big Mom agreed. "Alright, do you need me to arrange accommodations for you?"

"No need, I'll stay with Kaido!"

Charlotte Linlin waved casually, finished her business, and immediately turned to leave. As she walked, she asked Kaido, "There should be some good food in Wano Country, right? Take me there quickly."

"Hmm, you'd have to ask Queen about that, but I have some good wine, want a few drinks?"

"Get out!"

Mihawk and Gion watched silently as the two 'Titans men and women' walked side by side, chatting and laughing.

For some reason, this scene always gives me a sense of incongruity; it's as if these renowned One Piece who roam the seas shouldn't be like this.

What is Star Gate?

Gion suddenly turned her head and asked curiously.
