The Beasts' Response

Because Teach had confidence in the Beasts Pirates, believing they could defeat Beasts Pirates Wano Country, or even conquer it, he thought that providing logistical support to Wano Country wouldn't affect the Beasts Pirates' chances of winning the war.

Therefore, while helping Wano Country, Teach also leaked the information to the Beasts Pirates.

Krell was still a bit naive and didn't grasp the meaning behind the message.

Kaido could see this perfectly well, since they were on the same level, which pleased Kaido. Teach's confidence in the Beasts Pirates stemmed from his high regard for them.

"Bring Omon and Laimer back. Put the war with the Whitebeard Pirates aside and deal with Wano Country first." Kaido was very decisive.

He wasn't in a hurry to seize the Whitebeard Pirates' territory at all; it was just a matter of time, as long as the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Night Pirates didn't end.

Conversely, they also need to take the powerful forces of Wano Country seriously.

"What about the Whitebeard Pirates? Could they ambush us from behind? After all, Vista is a powerful figure among them. If we don't keep them in check, they'll definitely cause us a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry about it. The Whitebeard Pirates are barely able to protect themselves, so how could they possibly have the resources to help Wano Country?"

The terrifying pressure from the Night Pirates has caused the Whitebeard Pirates Night Pirates suffer repeated defeats in recent days due to their powerful attacks.

Their overall weakness means that even with a strong leader like Marco leading the charge, they can only manage a draw at best. Defeats on other battlefields will certainly have an impact on them.

Unless the Whitebeard Pirates have seven pirates comparable to the seven leaders of the Night Pirates, or even fewer, it would take two or three pirates to restrain one of the leaders.

This also leads to a disadvantage in the number of cadres under protection.

The gap in overall strength cannot be changed by a single victory. Moreover, with the Whitebeard Pirates' strength and the efforts of Marco and others, they can at most gain a slight advantage in a single battle against the Night Pirates.

It was utterly impossible to change the course of the battle.

Faced with pressure from the Night Pirates, and knowing that the Whitebeard Pirates weren't stupid, they didn't go back to attack the Beasts Pirates, but instead went to support Marco and his crew.

Throughout the war, the Whitebeard Pirates suffered increasing casualties, and their morale steadily declined. After all, knowing they were no match for their opponents, continuing to fight was incredibly foolish. Initially, they managed to hold on due to the Whitebeard Pirates' pride, but how long could they sustain that?

This idea has already taken root and spread within the Whitebeard Pirates. There is no doubt about Whitebeard's influence; many pirates are willing to sacrifice themselves for Whitebeard.

The best solution would be to admit defeat, hand over the territory to the Night Pirates, and the war would be resolved instantly. But they don't want to admit it.

The negative impact of being at a disadvantage in the war, and clearly at a disadvantage at that, was significant, especially in Whitebeard's vast territory.

Although Whitebeard's powerful appeal deterred external enemies from making any overt moves, they did so covertly. After all, people are never satisfied, and they wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.

Some unrest began to occur within the Whitebeard Sea.

The vast territory brought ample profits, but the Whitebeard Pirates actually didn't have much money.

In peacetime, there would certainly be great benefits, but in recent years, the New World has never been stable. The Whitebeard Pirates have been constantly waging war and constantly losing resources.

Moreover, they failed to manage their territory well. Although their internal territory was stable, their profits were declining due to various factors.

It even affected the interests of various factions within the organization.

The Whitebeard Pirates' forces were either concentrated in the Chaos Sea, engaged in battle with the Night Pirates, or stationed at the borders of their territory, guarding against the covetous eyes of other forces.

This includes not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but also Whitebeard's affiliated pirate crews.

This resulted in the Whitebeard Pirates being very weak internally, even unable to be effectively managed.

Without the Whitebeard Pirates 'Whitebeard Pirates suppression, supervision, and mediation, the Whitebeard Sea became even more chaotic.

This is normal. The order in the Whitebeard Sea was maintained by the powerful Whitebeard Pirates. Now, due to the war, they have lost the power to maintain order, so it will naturally become uncontrollable.

Although the external problems were resolved, chaos began to ensue within the Whitebeard Sea, especially in areas outside the core region of the Whitebeard Pirates that had not been notified for long.

The forces involved were not truly subservient to the Whitebeard Pirates; their allegiance was short-lived, and they merely yielded to the power of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The idea that people would willingly submit to Whitebeard because of his charisma sounds appealing, but it's really just a joke.

Most islands have their own ruling powers, and with the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates, they would inevitably have to share some of their profits with the Whitebeard Pirates.

While being ruled by the Whitebeard Pirates is better than being ruled by other pirate crews, no power would truly want that.

Chaos has begun; competition for resources and infighting have already started.

In particular, the war consumes a great deal of resources, whether it's food or weapons, and to sustain it, they have to draw resources from the forces in the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.

The Whitebeard Sea, known as the Sea Emperor, is a very loosely organized empire. Defeat in war will inevitably lead to internal chaos.

Even the strongest defenses can be breached from within. If a pirate crew's territory is in chaos, it's a joke, and their nominal rule and the title of emperor become meaningless.

Compared to the Night Pirates' absolute control over their territory, the Whitebeard Pirates' rule was far too mild, unable to even leave Whitebeard's mark or consolidate their power.

If the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, his territory would be easily divided up; it would simply be a matter of changing flags, and there would be no resistance whatsoever.

The Beasts Pirates began preparing for war with Wano Country. The departure of Omon and Laimer relieved Vista. As the Beasts Pirates had anticipated, they consolidated their forces to support the Whitebeard Pirates were fighting the Night Pirates.

The losses were enormous, shocking, and even unimaginable, though still within manageable limits.

If he doesn't go to their aid, the Whitebeard Pirates' losses will only increase, even if they are forced into a defensive posture against the Night Pirates.

Among the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista was the one with the best relationship with Teach and communicated with him the most. Although he didn't say it, he was the first to notice that Teach had unusual thoughts.

He even made some underhanded attempts to persuade him to stay, but all of them came to nothing. He failed many times and saw Teach's determination.

He also expressed his understanding of Teach's actions, as he could see Teach's great potential. The environment of the Whitebeard Pirates was far too lenient, and even in training, Teach had to hold back.

As a swordsman, Vista is actually very observant, and he was not blind to Teach's hidden intentions.

Vista didn't want to fight Teach, even though they were no longer on the same level. But the Night Pirates were a different matter, and Vista had no qualms about it.

The news of the impending arrival of Vista brought a sigh of relief to Marco and his team, like a shot of adrenaline.

Their disadvantages were simply too obvious, not only in terms of overall combat strength but also in strategy, where they were completely suppressed.

Their internal schemes were completely exposed, putting them in a passive position. The Night Pirates were able to leverage their advantages, while the Dark Night Pirates didn't even have the right to choose their opponents.

Even if they changed, it wouldn't be very effective because each of the seven leaders of the Night Pirates is extremely difficult to deal with.

Mobius, Mythical Zoan Fruit user, possesses formidable physical prowess, an almost immortal regenerative ability, and also bizarre mental abilities combined with terrifying poison.

Now he has grown into the face of the Night Pirates, especially after fully displaying his power, his mental strength has a certain suppressive effect on Marco.

Marco's Phoenix Blue Flame only damages the physical body; it is completely ineffective against the mind.

Like Slada, Mog Radon possesses terrifying raw power. Although his abilities are not bizarre, his strength, physique, and combat prowess make him difficult to deal with. Even Jozu, the strongest among them, was suppressed by him.

One of the captains of Shiryu's pirate crews has already died by his blade. Shiryu's sword has become increasingly terrifying in battle, especially after being honed by the Golden Sea Battle.

Wallace's steel body, powerful physical skills, and ability to melt steel made him someone no one dared to approach.

Just like cold air, heat can be conducted. Even with Armament Haki, one would be affected in a clash with Wallace.

Wallace's fists were like Admiral Akainu's magma, lacking only the explosive power of a volcanic eruption. However, Wallace's own explosive power was not bad, and his skills in physical combat were constantly improving.

Both Gari and Mostima are extremely powerful.

Vista's arrival will definitely boost morale and strengthen their forces. After all, compared to the Night Pirates, what they lack most is high-end combat power. In addition to Vista, there are two squad leaders and several affiliated pirate crews.

The Beasts Pirates began preparing to welcome the arrival of Wano Country, and the battlefield was set up in the buffer zone between the Night Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

The Beasts Pirates didn't want to wage war on their own territory, so they had to fight on other territories.

Thus, the various factions on the islands along this buffer zone will suffer, as they will be directly affected by the war between the Beasts Pirates and Wano Country —something they can all foresee.

Most importantly, they dare not resist, as both the Beasts Pirates and Wano Country are powerful forces they cannot withstand.

There are many islands along this buffer zone. In fact, due to the tacit understanding between the two pirate crews, many people believe that the two forces are unlikely to go to war and will be relatively peaceful. Therefore, many pirates and their forces have taken root here, surviving in the gap between the two top forces.

Some of these pirates are quite strong, with several having bounties exceeding 400 million Beli.

Unexpectedly, war broke out. If we don't want to be affected, we need to hide, leave this sea area, or enter the territory of other pirate crews.

The Night Sea Domain never refuses entry to outside forces, but since they cannot plunder, their wealth is quickly depleted. Without money, it is difficult to survive in the Night Sea Domain.

The dominance of the night prevented other pirate crews from plundering their territory.

Both the Combat Pyramid and the Arena are places where you spend money very quickly, although you can also earn money through battles or gambling.

Only a few pirates can make money; most spend money like water, and after running out of money, they go to other places to plunder before enjoying themselves in the Night Sea Domain.

For many, the Combat Pyramid is paradise on earth; once you've been there, you never want to leave.

They also secretly plundered wealth from the outside world to replenish the Dark Night Sea Domain, promoting its development and accumulating enormous riches.

This creates a cycle where these pirate crews are unknowingly working for the Night Pirates without even realizing it.

More importantly, the Night Pirates are fully capable of suppressing them.

Even though there are many powerful individuals and strong pirates inside the Combat Pyramid, they wouldn't deliberately provoke the Night Pirates. They are not enemies to begin with, so who would be so foolish as to oppose the Night Pirates?

A large portion of the pirates in the isolation zone will migrate towards the Night Sea Domain. After all, entering the Beasts Pirates' territory is very difficult, requiring a hefty sum or direct submission to the Beasts Pirates, demands that are unacceptable to most.

In contrast, the fee for entering the Night Pirates' territory was minimal, merely symbolic, involving signing a simple agreement not to cause trouble.

The Beasts Pirates have begun setting up defenses. With a kingdom as their support, their research and manufacturing speed for weapons and equipment is astonishing.

The seven- or eight-meter-long cannons alone demonstrate their immense power. The Beasts Pirates are on the defensive, and it will take some time before the Wano Country army arrives. They can use this time to build an impenetrable defensive line, a war fortress, for Wano Country.

This is the second major battle for the Beasts Pirates since their initial conflict with the Ochoku Pirates, so they are taking it very seriously and hoping to gain valuable experience from this battle.

Data from these newly developed, powerful weapons can also be used to test them in war, allowing for future improvements and enhancements.

Most importantly, the task is to withstand, or even repel, the army of Wano Country. The officers of the various Beasts Pirates, as well as Governor Kaido of the Beasts, are all ready to prepare for war.

The Beasts Pirates also need a major battle to demonstrate the power of the beasts and enhance their deterrent effect. The enhancement of the pirate crew's deterrent effect requires a series of major battles, and the bloody throne must be forged.

Too much silence can diminish a pirate crew's reputation. For example, the Night Pirates' reputation in the New World and even the world has completely surpassed that of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

Wano Country is clearly a worthy and powerful opponent.
