Whitebeard's Worldview Was Shattered!
The enormous Ark, as large as a city, still floats above the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and many people are curious about who lives on it.
Did all the Celestial Dragons move up there?
Or are the Five Elders going on a trip?
But there has been no explanation for so many days, which has made some perceptive people dare not say anything more about these matters, and they only occasionally look up at the sky.
Because it really blocked out the sun for a long time.
"Lord Imu, please make a decision regarding Charlotte Linlin's application to join the World Government."
The golden Den Den Mushi lowered its head and spoke meekly.
Imu sat in his chair, basking in the warmth of the sun, calmly observing the fishing rod before him, while his mind raced.
Big Mom's willingness to get involved was something he had never even considered before. Now that Kaido had helped resolve the issue, he was Kaido.
The Charlotte Family is full of talented people.
"Agree to her request, but she must follow orders regarding the Star Gate's entry and exit. We can arrange for her to visit the Kabane World soon and reveal that a second Star Gate is coming soon."
"In addition, her children will also be required to join various departments of the World Government, and she will also have a Mink Tribe under her command named Pekoms hand over his Vivre Card."
Imu recited everything that came to mind, while continuing to ponder whether there were any other uses for it.
The Five Elders carefully took notes of what they heard.
"Have her hold another tea party before she officially joins, to lure out that King of Shipping. You guys figure out a way to take him down; this King of Shipping definitely knows the movement patterns of the 'White Dragon'!"
This is a long, narrow Uzumaki Clan that only appears on the seabed. Because it looks like a white Divine Dragon swimming in the deep sea, it is called the 'White Dragon' in legends.
Its most mysterious feature is its ability to transport anything it captures to extremely distant seas. The reason why successive King of Shipping have been able to monopolize the world's maritime trade and escape from encirclement and capture every time is most likely because they used the 'White Dragon'.
In the original manga, during the Marineford War, some speculated that the reason the Red-Haired Pirates were able to reach the Marine Headquarters on the other side of the Red Line at such a rapid speed after their great battle with the Beasts Pirates in the New World was because of this "White Dragon".
It is also said that the large Uzumaki Clan in the Triangle Current between Enies Lobby, Marine Headquarters, Impel Down is actually one of the fixed exits of "White Dragon".
Imu wholeheartedly agreed with these speculations.
Regardless, let's get our hands on the King of Shipping first!
"Yes, Imu Im."
The Golden Den Den Mushi respectfully agreed.
"Finally, you warn Charlotte Linlin that once she joins the World Government, she must abide by the law and must not again arbitrarily massacre islands or destroy nations for any reason!"
At this point, Imu's tone turned extremely cold.
As the supreme ruler, he can ruthlessly ignore the past actions of others for the sake of future world conquests, but he will not tolerate disobedience after joining.
Even if she is BIG MOM!
Dark clouds covered the sky.
The sea is roaring, the wind is howling.
Every now and then, huge waves surged forward, crashing heavily against a giant ship over a hundred meters long, shattering into pieces, only to be immediately trampled under by the following waves, producing a series of dull thuds.
Suiryu connecting the sky and the sea raged wildly all around, creating a scene of utter desolation at sea, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Gurala la la!"
"The seas here are as fierce as ever. Compared to this, the rest of the 'New World' is like a child throwing a tantrum!"
Edward Newgate, wearing a white captain's hat, with his long golden hair cascading down to his shoulders, stood boldly on the deck of the whale-shaped Moby Dick, letting the torrential rain and Tornado wind beat against his chest, his large mouth beneath his signature crescent-shaped Whitebeard bursting into unrestrained laughter.
"Pops"
Marco, Jozu, Thatch, Vista, Izo, and Teach, who appeared extremely young, along with many other members of the Whitebeard Pirates, were hiding in the crowd.
They were also getting rained on and being blown by the wind behind them, with people occasionally stepping in to smash the approaching Suiryu on the spot.
Marco, who was most familiar with 'Whitebeard', could sense a faint sense of heaviness from his Pops's laughter and his back.
Clearly, even the World's Strongest Man right in front of them...
My mood at this moment wasn't as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.
Because they are very likely to be in a major conflict with the World Government!
"Almost there"
Despite the extremely harsh sea weather, Izo could still sense that they were not far from Wano Country.
His feelings were complex; he was deeply saddened and grieved by the death of Kozuki Oden.
He was also grateful and happy that his "Pops" was willing to help him liberate his hometown and rescue his younger brother.
But after learning that their opponent might not be Kaido or Byndi Wald, but the World Government, their mood became heavy again.
His many years of overseas experience had long since made him understand the meaning of the words "World Government".
Even though the Whitebeard Pirates are known as the strongest One Piece crew in the World's Strongest.
If they were to go head-to-head with a behemoth like the World Government, they would undoubtedly be the ones to be wiped out in the end.
He has now essentially put 'Pops' and his companions in an extremely dangerous situation!
[Boom!]
While everyone on the ship was preoccupied with their own thoughts...
This already extreme climate seems poised to become even more terrifying.
Within the pitch-black clouds, streaks of purple lightning began to flash.
[Slap----]
Just then, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky!
The thunder seemed to shake the entire surface of the churning sea, and a burst of intense purple lightning illuminated everyone's vision.
[Boom!]
The next moment, a bolt of purple lightning transformed into a pillar of light and descended from the sky, striking the Moby Dick like a divine punishment. This caused many crew members on deck to change their expressions drastically.
"Hmph, what are you doing here?"
"BIG MOM!"
In that instant, Edward Newgate's face turned cold. Although he was holding the supreme Great Grade Sword 'Murakumogiri', which resembled a Guan Dao, he made no move to raise or swing it.
With a cold snort and a furious rebuke, the space around the entire ship visibly trembled, as if all the air had solidified into cracked Hari.
[Bang!!!]
An unbelievable scene unfolded: the waterfall-like pillar of Purple Lightning was actually blocked by the shattered layers of air.
They appeared to be on the verge of falling apart, but in reality, they formed a Formless barrier, like an absolute defense, protecting the massive ship.
It also completely shattered dozens of Suiryu within a radius of hundreds of miles; its power was simply outrageous!
"Mamamama~~~"
As the purple light and the Airquake canceled each other out in the stormy void, Charlotte Linlin's signature loud laughter echoed through the air.
It's her!
"What's Big Mom doing here?"
"That's not the point. She just attacked us, right? She attacked us, didn't she? Has she gone mad?!"
The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were shocked and enraged. Since the Flying Pirate Fleet disappeared, the entire 'New World' had entered a two-power phase.
Everyone knows the enormous impact a battle between their two One Piece crews would have.
"Whitebeard, give me some face and turn around and leave the Wano Country waters right now. I can give you two boatloads of the best candy, how about it?"
Charlotte Linlin stood on the Thundercloud 'Zeus' and grinned.
In addition, she was accompanied by a fireball 'Prometheus' that resembled a mini sun, and 'Azure Dragon' Kaido, who silently made his presence felt as he hovered in the dark clouds.
Edward Newgate stared incredulously at the two despicable individuals. "You two are actually going to team up to stop me for the sake of the World Government?!"
He suddenly felt that his worldview had been seriously challenged!
