The Total War of the New World Is About to Begin!?
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
Just as Doflamingo had predicted, the Beasts Pirates did indeed obtain today's World Economic Journal newspaper.
Several henchmen, carrying newspapers, headed towards the Beasts Castle in the center of Onigashima.
As soon as they stepped into the Beasts Castle, several pirate henchmen asked the person next to them.
"Big news!"
"Another big news has broken!"
"How is the Governor-General doing today?"
Upon hearing these questions, the pirate henchmen stationed inside the Beasts Castle responded.
Don't worry...
"The governor was very 'gentle' today."
"Is he 'acting cute' right now?"
Upon hearing this, the Beasts Pirates' henchmen, who were carrying newspapers, breathed a sigh of relief.
The pirates quickened their pace and arrived at the banquet hall of Beasts Castle.
As soon as they stepped into the banquet hall, they saw the tall, muscular Beasts Kaido acting cute towards his Lead Performer lieutenant.
"Ember~"
Kaido put his right arm around King the Conflagration's shoulder, held a huge gourd of wine in his left hand, and spoke in a very strange tone.
"Come have a drink with me~ Just a small one~"
The rest of the Beasts Pirates in the banquet hall were unsurprised by the situation.
Beasts Kaido loves to drink, but whenever he gets drunk, he falls into a rather "strange" state.
Sometimes it's "feeling down after drinking," and in more serious cases, it can even lead to "crying uncontrollably after drinking."
Sometimes, anger stems from alcohol, and in extreme cases, it can even lead to murder while intoxicated...
Today, Beasts Kaido is clearly in a state of "acting spoiled after drinking".
This is a relatively "gentle" state.
Of course, the "gentleness" here refers only to the "body".
If we're talking about the damage on a "spiritual" level...
Beasts Kaido in his "drunkenly acting spoiled" state is enough to cause very serious psychological trauma to ordinary people.
King the Conflagration also felt clearly uncomfortable with his Captain's "drunken whining".
He forcefully broke free from Beasts Kaido's embrace, flapped his enormous wings, and flew directly out of the banquet hall.
Beasts Kaido, with his dazed, drunken eyes, watched the retreating figure of King the Conflagration fly away, and immediately showed a very aggrieved expression.
But soon, he set his sights on another subordinate.
"Jack! Come keep me company!"
Jack the Drought was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
As a Fish-Man, a male Fish-Man, and a Fish-Man with normal sexual orientation, Jack felt an almost innate aversion to the coquettishness of human men.
Especially since the other party is their own boss...
Just when Jack the Drought was in a dilemma.
The Beasts Pirates' henchmen burst in, carrying newspapers and other news items.
"Governor!"
"The World Economic Journal printed another copy today!"
"The big news this time is about Donquixote Doflamingo!"
The henchmen of the Beasts Pirates were no strangers to Doflamingo.
What an idiot who came to Wano Country wanting to do business with his own governor!
But anyway.
The Beasts Pirates still managed to form a cooperative relationship with Doflamingo.
The news reports that Doflamingo has been defeated by another Shichibukai — White Dragon.
The Shichibukai fought amongst themselves.
White Dragon's slap in the face wasn't just directed at the World Government.
White Dragon even slapped the Beasts Pirates' butt!
As the saying goes...
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
Upon hearing the shouts of his henchmen, Jack the Drought felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
Even Beasts Kaido, who was acting cute, was taken aback.
"Joker?"
Despite his drunkenness, Beasts Kaido glanced at the newspaper, briefly scanning the headlines and accompanying pictures.
"That clown guy was defeated by a newbie so quickly..."
"Although I already knew that guy wasn't very strong, isn't he just too weak?"
Beasts Kaido suddenly raised his right hand and touched his forehead, his voice gradually becoming lower and deeper.
"The Joker... the Joker! What are you doing?!"
Beasts Kaido suddenly roared.
The power of [Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form] erupted instantly.
Beasts Kaido immediately entered the "Human-Beast Form" of the [Azure Dragon Fruit], transforming into a robust and muscular "blue dragon man" covered in Dragon Scales.
However, what silenced the surrounding members of the Beasts Pirates was...
A blinding crimson light was flashing in Beasts Kaido's eyes!
Those familiar with Beasts Kaido know this.
Beasts Kaido is clearly in a state of incredibly brutal "drunken slaughter"!
"Croak--"
Beasts Kaido's mouth bulged high, and then a powerful stream of orange-yellow flames shot out from it.
A streak of orange-yellow flames streaked across the air, burning the newspaper brought by the pirate minions to ashes. The scorching flames also pierced through the walls of Beasts Castle.
As for the few pirate henchmen holding newspapers, they were naturally melted by the "Blue Dragon Man's" violent flames, leaving not even ashes behind.
A chilling, acrid smell filled the air.
The Joker is dead!
"Who's going to pay me back for all those Zoan Devil Fruit he owes me?!"
Beasts Kaido's roar was deafening, and the entire Beasts Castle seemed to tremble as a result.
The "cooperation treaty" that Donquixote Doflamingo originally signed with the Beasts Pirates.
One of the most important conditions is that the Donquixote Family must regularly provide the Beasts Pirates with Zoan Devil Fruit!
One of Beasts Kaido's life dreams is to build a Great Pirate crew in which all members are Zoan Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User.
Previously, the one responsible for collecting Devil Fruit for Beasts Kaido was King of Lizards Hanafuda;
The person in charge of this task now is Donquixote Doflamingo.
However, collecting Devil Fruit takes time.
Aside from the [Pachycephalosaurus Fruit] and [Spinosaurus Fruit] that Doflamingo initially intercepted from Hanafuda.
He hadn't even had a chance to "offer" the Beasts Pirates any Zoan Devil Fruit.
Then.
Storm destroyed the Donquixote Family and captured Donquixote Doflamingo in the process.
"White Dragon!"
"White Dragon!!"
Beasts Kaido kept repeating this name.
Although he was quite drunk, he still remembered the owner of the name, who had caused him trouble time and time again.
The White Dragon first defeated King of Lizards Hanafuda.
He then defeated Celestial Demon Doflamingo.
Beasts Kaido now feels that the brat named "White Dragon" is simply deliberately trying to oppose him!
Beasts Kaido, already in a drunken state, unleashed the power of the [Azure Dragon Fruit].
The "little blue dragon" immediately expanded and grew to a gigantic size, transforming into a majestic and Haki blue-green dragon!
Rumble--
A loud, deafening roar followed.
The blue dragon that Beasts Kaido transformed into crashed into a wall of the Beasts Castle and then flew away from Onigashima.
The members of the Beasts Pirates in the banquet hall all realized—
Our own governor is going on another "expedition"!
Almost at the same time.
The New World, Dressrosa.
Kizaru traveled from the G5 Branch aboard a naval warship.
He had already heard from Fleet Admiral Sengoku that Storm was still alive and well.
Kizaru's worries dissipated.
To be honest...
Kizaru confidently volunteered to go to Hachinosu Island because he was prepared to rescue Storm from Ochoku.
But what I didn't expect was...
Before even seeing Ochoku, Kizaru slunk away from the waters near Hachinosu Island.
After all, the situation on Hachinosu Island was extremely unique at the time!
Whitebeard the Second., Golden Lion II., Flame Man, Unknown Devil Fruit User...
Monsters gathered on Hachinosu Island, as if plotting some world-destroying scheme.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kizaru decided to temporarily withdraw.
If his departure causes problems in Storm...
Kizaru will feel guilty for a while.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong on Storm's side.
Kizaru, naturally, carried out his new mission with a clear conscience.
His trip to Dressrosa was on orders from the Gorosei and Fleet Admiral Sengoku to "visit" the area.
No matter what.
Dressrosa is also a Member Nations of the World Government.
Now Dressrosa "suddenly encountered an unexpected change".
Sending someone from the navy to offer some comfort and demonstrate their stance is quite necessary.
Kizaru wasn't opposed to the mission.
It was just a visit to a Member Nations, a chat with the King Riku, and some tea and meals with them...
This is a very easy and pleasant task.
Kizaru prefers to handle tasks that don't require much physical exertion.
The naval warships docked smoothly at the port of Dressrosa.
Having received advance notice, the King Riku had already sent people to guard the area.
Once Kizaru arrived, the Kingdom Guards of Dressrosa escorted him to a carriage bound for the King's Plateau.
Along the way.
Kizaru could clearly sense the "awe" the people around him held for his identity.
At the same time, Kizaru also sensed the "rejection" and even "hostility" from the people towards him.
'It seems Doflamingo really did a lot of bad things to this country~'
A thought flashed through Kizaru's mind.
The kingdom's carriage entered the King's Plateau.
Kizaru immediately spotted the pirate flag fluttering atop the Dressrosa Palace.
A three-headed White Dragon is depicted on a black flag.
Kizaru also noticed that there were quite a few craftsmen working nearby.
Judging from the craftsmen's appearance, they seemed to intend to create a statue of a White Dragon and erect it on the King's Plateau.
"Is this the 'White Dragon' flag? It looks so majestic!"
Kizaru looked up at the sky, then paused, startled.
He seemed to see a dragon flying in the sky again.
"The White Dragon is gone... the Azure Dragon has arrived?"
Kizaru suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Who said coming to Dressrosa was an easy task!?
Time flies.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The World Economic Journal published one news article after another.
Following the news of the Donquixote Pirates' annihilation.
One after another, the World Economic Journal's "big news" stories bombarded the eyes of people around the world.
The following day, the World Economic Journal published a major news story about Hachinosu Island.
<Hachinosu Island Disappears!>
The remnants of the Old Era have completely exited the stage of history!
Who will be the next victim of the White Dragon's claws?
On the third day, the World Economic Journal again focused its attention on Dressrosa.
<The Emperor's Expedition!>
Pirate Emperor VS Admiral!
A total war in the New World is about to break out!?
After.
The World Economic Journal's front page headline has become --
<Only one day left until Pluton' execution!>
A huge thank you to "Lone Star Falling Feather" for the 1500 Qidian Coins reward!!
At midnight, 11,000 words are presented!
There's more to come.
