In Whole Cake Island, the Charlotte Family members who had been paying attention to the live broadcast saw that Jaz was beheaded and the other Shichibukai members successively chose to surrender to Navy Marshal. Some of the noise that existed before suddenly disappeared.
Katakuri, who was standing in the first row, looked even more solemn.
"The war is about to begin!"
After a brief silence, Katakuri slowly raised his head, staring intensely at the Shichibukai member who bowed his head to Akira in the camera, and said solemnly, "The death of Jaz will definitely lead to crazy revenge from Kaido. Once Kaido launches a war against the navy, my mother will definitely be involved!"
"Damn it, how could things suddenly take a turn for the worse!"
"Brother Katakuri, what is going on? Isn't it just Jaz who was beheaded? How can it be related to Kaido?"
"Idiot, Jaz used to be one of All-Stars under Kaido. Although he quit Beasts Pirates midway, he did not work with Kaido Cut off the relationship. Not only that, but we still maintain an alliance with Kaido. Over the years, we have used the identity of Shichibukai and have been looking for Devil Fruit for Kaido!"
"Even so, it has nothing to do with us Charlotte Family, right?"
"The relationship is very big! Mom and Kaido were both members of Rocks Pirates. It is said that Kaido was my mother's son at the time..."
"Hey, you are still young, so there is no need to know this. In short, you only need to know that if Kaido really wants to start a war, there is a high probability that he will come to find his mother."
Hearing the words of the brothers and sisters around him, Smoker, who had been silent, frowned again and looked at Katakuri with a solemn expression, "What should I do with the invitation to the tea party...?"
"Dong dong dong--"
Before Katakuri could finish speaking, a violent vibration suddenly came from the direction of the castle.
Immediately afterwards, Charlotte Linlin's voice came from the castle, "Kaido! Don't be impulsive! It is not a wise move to launch a war with the navy at this time. Under the leadership of the young Marshal, the current navy is unprecedentedly united..."
"Hey, Kaido! That's enough!"
"I know that Jaz's death makes you very sad, but you can't communicate when you're crying like this!"
"Calm down first and then contact me!"
"That's it!"
Before she finished speaking, Charlotte Linlin suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Katakuri, Smoker, Cracker, Snack, get here right away!"
After hearing Charlotte Linlin's penetrating shouts, Katakuri and others did not dare to neglect, and got up and ran towards the castle.
Inside the castle hall.
Charlotte Linlin has stopped talking to Kaido and is sitting on a large chair with a solemn expression.
The four Katakuri who walked into the castle hall did not dare to make any noise at this time, because they clearly felt that Charlotte Linlin was on the verge of madness.
"Jaz That bastard!"
Looking up at the four children who were walking up to her, Charlotte Linlin clenched her fists and punched the chair next to her, and said angrily, "If he dies, it will be settled once and for all, but it will make my mother uneasy!"
After a slight pause, Charlotte Linlin suddenly looked up at Katakuri, "Kaido wants to launch a war to avenge Jaz, and hopes to get my help! Katakuri, what do you think?"
Katakuri took a step forward with a calm face and asked, "Don't mom hope that Galette can marry Akira? If Charlotte Family chooses to ally with Kaido at this time, mom's dream may be shattered because of this war."
"Akira first launched a mutiny to ascend to the position of Marshal, and then forced World Government to compromise and sign Mary Geoise Treaty. Then he publicly executed Whitebeard Jr., beheaded Jaz with a knife and made the other Shichibukai surrender!"
"Each of these things individually would be a major event that would shock the world, but he completed it in just a few days without giving the world a chance to breathe!"
"The Navy, which was once relatively conservative in order to achieve balance and stability, ceased to exist from the moment Akira took the position of Marshal!"
"Under the control of Akira, the navy, Grand Line's largest war machine, is operating at a rapid speed!"
"No matter who comes forward at this time, they will become the target of their attack!"
"So, my opinion is, avoid its edge!"
After speaking in one breath, Katakuri raised his head and glanced at Charlotte Linlin's gaze, then stepped back to stand shoulder to shoulder with Smoker.
As the core figure of the Charlotte Family, he is also known as the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte Family, and the leader of Big Mom Pirates Sweet Commander. There is always only one thing Katakuri has to do, and that is to protect every member of the family.
So purely from his personal perspective, he will never ally with Kaido.
In his opinion, Kaido is not only ambitious, but also an out-and-out war madman. Waging war with the navy will only bring endless trouble to the Charlotte Family, who has been stable for these years.
Of course, this is just his personal idea.
After all, it's not him who has the final say now Charlotte Family.
As the second son of Charlotte Linlin, no matter what decision Charlotte Linlin makes, he will absolutely obey and implement it unswervingly.
At the same time.
Marine Headquarters--
The flag with the seagull pattern on it flew in the wind over Marineford and made a hunting sound.
Tens of thousands of naval soldiers made no sound from the beginning to the end. They all stood with their hands behind their backs and their backs straight, facing the direction of the high platform.
Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan and Gion are naturally no exception. They stand neatly on the high platform, their eyes moving as Akira moves around.
Shichibukai, except for Jaz whose head was in a different place, all bowed their heads towards Akira.
Because Akira had no reaction, they did not change their posture and stood motionless.
After glancing around at the six former Shichibukai members, Akira silently returned to the top position of the conference table and sat down amidst the sound of flags. Then he smoothly took Kompira from his waist and handed it to Gion who was standing next to him.
After Gion took Kompira, he suddenly glanced at the six people, swept away the strong and domineering attitude just now, and said with a warm smile, "What? You bowed to me and let you lose face, are you wronged?"
"Everyone, sit down!"
Akira waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then said, "There is no essential difference between you becoming Shichibukai back then and surrendering to me now!"
"Especially you, Doflamingo--"
Akira stopped his gaze on Doflamingo, and said in the same calm tone, "It is undeniable that you have a heroic temperament for using Celestial Dragons and Heavenly Gold as threats to become Shichibukai, but that's all."
"The reason why World Government made you Shichibukai is not because of the life and death of Heavenly Gold and a few trash Celestial Dragons, but because you were also born in the Celestial Dragons family, and you also knew some of Holy Land's secrets!"
"And in order to return to Holy Land, you cooperated with Yonko Kaido, and even acted like a child in front of Kaido!"
"So, Doflamingo!"
"You're just like that, there's nothing special about you!"
"Surrendering to me is not a loss of face for you, but the wisest choice in your life."
"Of course, the same goes for everyone here."
"In the past, it was because Mr. Sengoku was relatively conservative and to maintain the balance of the sea that I tolerated you until now."
"Otherwise, do you really think that Marine Headquarters's strength can't wipe out your arrogance?"
"But this situation will never happen again in the future!"
"Because, the next Grand Line--"
"The offense and defense have changed shape!"
