Discussions about the Summit War are unlikely to subside anytime soon.

People all over the world are waiting for the Hell Pirates to enter the New World and 'take their place'.

A new era has emerged, and under this situation, the various forces on the high seas are naturally also stirring up undercurrents, and things are starting to get chaotic.

This is a sign of a 'shuffling'.

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

Today, the Charlotte Family has welcomed several special 'guests'.

Extremely special!

"Ma ma ma ma..."

Inside the Cake Castle's main hall, Big Mom, one of the Yonko, sat in a chair, emitting a chilling laugh.

On either side of her seat stood the main fighting force of the current Big Mom Pirates: Charlotte Family's eldest son Perospero, Daifuku, Oven, and Opera. Among them, the most eye-catching were undoubtedly the Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Snack, who had not yet been defeated by Urouge, one of the Worst Generation. Or rather, although a new era had arrived and new talents were rising, the Big Mom Pirates, as one of the Yonko, had not yet suffered any significant impact.

All the Charlotte Family children focused their attention on the 'guests' who were led in by the waiter.

These people were all dressed in white suits and wearing masks... Even though they were deep in the heart of the Totto Land and facing the Yonko, they seemed very relaxed and under no pressure.

He remained unmoved by the sharp gaze directed at him.

"CP0... the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, their most loyal dogs."

After Linlin finished laughing, she squeezed the chair with her large, fat hand, and her terrifying head slumped down from above. Her heavily made-up face held a pair of chilling eyes that seemed to want to devour the CP0 agents.

"Charlotte Linlin ...we're here to discuss cooperation. Your attitude doesn't seem like you're interested in joining forces with us." The CP0 captain smiled and met the terrifying gaze that was falling from above.

"Um?"

Linlin straightened her back, resumed her sitting posture, her expression turning cold, and her aura becoming chilling. "Cooperation? How could I possibly cooperate with the World Government... Instead of talking about cooperation, you should be thinking about how you're all going to leave alive..."

"However, if you are willing to give up some of your lifespan, I can consider giving you a little hope of survival."

Linlin opened her mouth wide, her tone strange.

"You took over from the Whitebeard Pirates and brought Fish-Man Island under your control, didn't you?"

"CP0's captain asked abruptly."

"So what if it is...?"

Linlin laughed strangely.

"The Whitebeard Pirates ' 'legacy' in the New World is practically already decided by the Hell Pirates. Not only you, but all the named guys in the New World, you're only sharing the resources for now. When the God Slayer arrive in the New World, you'll have to spit out everything you've eaten... Of course, they're probably already somewhere in the New World by now," said the captain of CP0.

Upon hearing this, Linlin's expression instantly turned angry, and even her eyes glowed red.

"I'm not joking. You and I both know what the God Slayer has done... His ambitions are far beyond what one Yonko can satisfy. We speculate that he might very well make the Hell Pirates recreate the glory days of the Rocks Pirates, becoming the sole ruler of the New World, instead of sitting at the same table with everyone else, sharing food." The captain held up one finger, speaking confidently. "Now that Whitebeard is dead, the remaining people—you, Shanks, and Kaido... we speculate that his next target is you!"

"PeroPero... Interesting... Mom isn't afraid of anyone. If the Hell Pirates dare to invade Totto Land Island, they'll never return. Besides, let alone him wanting to fight us, Mom also harbors resentment towards him. If a fight really breaks out, it would be exactly what we want... Don't compare us to Whitebeard and his crew. Whitebeard is old after all... while Mom is still the undisputed ruler of this sea, PeroPero..." Before Linlin could reply, her eldest son Spero, standing at her feet, stuck out his tongue and laughed.

"Ma ma ma ma..."

Hearing her son say that, Big Mom, who was initially a little angry, burst into laughter.

They were confident because Totto Land was their territory, and on their territory... they had unparalleled advantages. The Whitebeard Pirates declined because of rescuing that brat Ace; Whitebeard went so far as to lead his crew to cause trouble on Marine territory—these are two completely different things. Even if Whitebeard were still alive, with Big Mom on his home turf, let alone the Hell Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates would absolutely not gain any advantage.

The reason why the Yonko have formed the current situation of mutual checks and balances is, to some extent, because none of them can do anything to the others... they all have the resources.

Unless it's a situation of deep-seated hatred, where you're determined to fight to the death.

However, this situation generally does not occur.

"You say the Hell Pirates are targeting us, what evidence do you have?"

At this moment, Katakuri, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his gaze indifferently fixed on the captain of CP0.

The Charlotte Family will not be swayed by a single sentence from CP0, and their relationship with the Hell Pirates will not be disrupted. Although the two sides are currently hostile, they will never allow outsiders, especially the villains of the World Government, to benefit.

Moreover, the current situation is clearly at odds with the Hell Pirates, and the most likely place for conflict to break out is Shanks' side.

Not them.

Another member of CP0 took out a special Den Den Mushi and handed it to the captain.

The captain then extended his hand, drawing everyone's attention to the Den Den Mushi.

Snap.

The Den Den Mushi opened its eyes.

Then, a recording was played.

"Our goal is Big Mom."

Why her?

"She is very important to me..."

"Now, the only thing we need to be careful about is that the World Government may join forces with Big Mom. If the two sides form an alliance, it will probably be very difficult for us to eliminate Charlotte Linlin."

Inside the hall, everyone held their breath and remained completely silent.

As the recording began, some people's expressions gradually changed.

Because they could all tell that this was a private conversation among members of the Hell Pirates.

Among them are the voices of God Slayer and Crocodile.

The recording wasn't very long, but it basically revolved around a clear purpose.

The Hell Pirates are planning to target Totto Land Island.

A moment later, the Den Den Mushi closed its eyes, and the recording ended.

The air felt somewhat oppressive.

"Can we talk now?"

The CP0 captain chuckled. "You've all seen God Slayer at Marineford... Alas, while it might not be the best way to put it from the World Government's perspective, in my personal opinion, his strength is no weaker than Whitebeard's... In fact, due to the unique nature of his abilities, he's even more threatening, having reached a level comparable to the Yonko. And his crew members are all monsters, especially Douglas Bare... Let alone God Slayer, I believe even Bare alone is enough to threaten you... Big Mom."

"So? Want to join forces?"

"..."

All the Charlotte Family children looked at Big Mom.

Alarmist rhetoric and irrefutable evidence are two different concepts.

When it became clear that the Hell Pirates' fangs were bared at them, no one could remain calm.

Even the Yonko are the same.
