• He summons his officers, including King and Kurozumi Orochi, to discuss how to defend against the Morning Star Pirates.
• King concludes that the Beasts Pirates cannot defeat Beelzebul through numbers or ordinary tactics. They need another powerful New World crew as an ally.
• Whitebeard is ruled out because of his close bond with Oden and the Morning Star Pirates. The only realistic option is an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates.
• Vergo proposes forming an alliance with Big Mom, arguing that only top-tier fighters can oppose Beelzebul. Kaido initially refuses to “beg” Big Mom, whom he insults as an old hag.
