Emperor Alliance!

Whole Cake Island Cake Island.

The Cake Island was bustling with activity and excitement because of the Tea Party that was to be held in a few days.

Charlotte Family's "ministers," countless Homies, and guests from all over the world...

A massive crowd gathered on Cake Island to celebrate the upcoming Totto Land Tea Party that would take place in a few days.

But today, dark clouds drifted in from who-knows-where, blocking out the blazing sun and casting a massive, oppressive shadow over the once-grand Cake Island.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening dragon roar resounded across the sky above Cake Island.

"Roar--"

Like a peerless azure dragon that flew out of mythology, it peeked out from the dark clouds, its huge, lantern-like eyes looking down at the towering Cake Castle on the Cake Island below.

"Old woman! Come to heaven!"

Upon seeing the mythical azure dragon soaring freely in the sky, the once bustling Whole Cake Island instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Even Charlotte Perospero, the Candy Minister of Whole Cake Island, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, and a New World Great Pirate with a bounty of 700 million Beli.

The moment he saw the azure dragon clearly, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

"Kaido of the Beasts?!?"

In fact, as Big Mom's eldest son, Perospero is quite old.

How big is it?

Perospero is actually a year older than Aokiji Kuzan...

If we replace the reference template with Beasts Kaido...

Perospero is actually only 9 years younger than Beasts Kaido.

In the year 1480 of the Grand Line Era, 15-year-old Beasts Kaido Rocks Pirates as an "apprentice crew member".

Six-year-old Perospero can already remember things.

In other words...

Perospero practically witnessed Beasts Kaido grow from an apprentice crew member of the Rocks Pirates to the Pirate Emperor of the New World.

Beasts Kaido is a monster that Perospero can never surpass in his lifetime...

But if Perospero remembers correctly.

Beasts Kaido hasn't visited Whole Cake Island for many years...

This monster has come to Whole Cake Island today, could it be that it intends to... ruin the Tea Party in a few days?

Perospero was terrified and almost instinctively wanted to go find his mother.

In the New World, only the Pirate Emperor can stand against the Pirate Emperor!

In Whole Cake Island, only Big Mom can stand against Beasts Kaido!

But before Perospero could turn around and rush into the Cake Castle...

A white cloud flew out from the top of the Cake Castle and Luffy into the sky.

A very unique laugh drifted out from the clouds.

"Mama mama..."

Charlotte Linlin stood on "Zeus," carried "Napoleon," and had "Prometheus" igniting her long pink hair, fully assuming a battle stance.

"Kaido! How dare you come to my territory! Die!"

Charlotte Linlin looked at the azure dragon in the sky and swung her Pirate Scimitar "Napoleon" heavily.

The broad blade of "Napoleon" whipped up the surrounding air, then unleashed an extremely wide and massive shockwave, which struck the Azure Dragon in the sky with incredible speed.

"Elbaph Spear - Mighty Nation!"

Beasts Kaido took a deep breath, and the Azure Dragon's throat swelled up accordingly.

After a brief moment of gathering his strength, he opened his gaping maw again.

The Azure Dragon immediately spewed out a crimson stream of flames that stretched across the heavens and earth.

"Heat Breath!"

The scorching flames formed by "Heat Breath" collided violently with the massive shockwave created by "Mighty Nation" in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.

The two forces collided in mid-air until they exploded completely.

A violent shockwave, carrying dazzling sparks, descended from the sky, as if a meteor shower were falling over Cake Island.

Charlotte Linlin ignored the "meteor shower" and, stepping on "Zeus," flew directly in front of Beasts Kaido, once again wielding "Napoleon."

At this moment, Beasts Kaido also withdrew from his dragon form. He pulled out his black spiked club, the Hachisai Kai, from somewhere and swung it heavily towards Big Mom in front of him with the force of thunder.

Napoleon's sword and the staff of the Hachisai Kai were both wrapped with large amounts of black and red electric arcs, clearly indicating that they were imbued with [Conqueror's Haki]!

The two massive weapons collided violently in mid-air.

Boom--

The clouds in the sky Whole Cake Island, were completely torn apart.

On Cake Island, everyone who witnessed this "battle that shattered the heavens" had no desire to celebrate anymore.

"All eyes are on me!!"

Perospero shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone, run! Get off Cake Island!"

Just then...

A hand pressed down on Perospero's shoulder, followed by a steady and powerful voice in his ear.

"Calm down, brother."

Charlotte Katakuri, the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, emerges from behind Perospero.

"Mom is still fighting, and what we need to do now is believe in her!"

"Take some men and go calm down those frightened 'guests' first."

"Katakuri..."

Perospero looked at his younger brother beside him and immediately felt relieved.

"Okay. I'll leave this to you."

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Charlotte Linlin and Beasts Kaido fought for several hours, but neither could gain the upper hand.

After yet another clash of emperors that tore the sky apart.

Charlotte Linlin retrieved her Napoleon and slung the giant Pirate Scimitar over her shoulder.

"Mama mama..."

Charlotte Linlin looked coldly at Beasts Kaido opposite her and said with a forced smile.

"That little brat from back then has finally grown up!"

Beasts Kaido also carried his Hachisai Kai on his shoulder.

But when he heard Big Mom's words, several veins immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Old woman!"

Beasts Kaido has absolutely no manners.

"I've come to the Totto Land today because I have important business to discuss with you!"

"Is this serious business?"

Charlotte Linlin thought for a moment, then simply transformed Napoleon back into the shape of a bicorn hat, put it on her head, and then sat cross-legged on top of Zeus.

"Go ahead and say it! Considering we haven't seen each other for years, I'll be merciful and spare you a little time for some snacks."

You woman, every single moment of your day when you're awake, aren't you eating snacks?

Beasts Kaido glanced speechlessly at Charlotte Linlin, but then put away his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai.

The atmosphere of battle that had been permeating the surroundings vanished.

"First of all..."

After a moment 'Beasts Kaido decided to "throw out a brick to attract jade" (a metaphor for offering a suggestion or advice).

"First up is the Red-Haired Pirates!"

"Red-Haired?"

Charlotte Linlin narrowed her eyes.

"What did that brat do this time?"

This year, Shanks" ascended to the top" in the New World, becoming the fourth Pirate Emperor.

However, the power and territory of the fourth Pirate Emperor were actually "squeezed" out from the hands of the first three emperors.

The Red-Haired Pirates have clashed with the BIG MOM Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates.

This is something that is inevitable.

The New World is only this big of a place.

All the good territories and resources have been taken over by the original Pirate Emperor.

The Red-Haired Pirates want to reach the top.

How can we manage without fighting?

At least Charlotte Linlin suffered a loss at the hands of Shanks.

The lowly apprentice of Roger Pirates has grown to be even stronger than that Beasts Kaido...

Charlotte Linlin's gaze made Beasts Kaido instinctively sense that something was wrong.

However, Kaido couldn't immediately pinpoint the source of this strangeness.

He simply continued the previous topic.

"The Red-Haired Pirates didn't do anything particularly significant... except that Shanks was defeated, defeated by... the Red Dragon Emperor!"

When Beasts Kaido mentioned the "Red Dragon Emperor," his tone sounded slightly strange.

After all, that "Red Dragon Emperor" probably, seemingly, appears to have "shared" the [Azure Dragon Fruit] ability with him.

But Charlotte Linlin still managed to grasp the key point of Beasts Kaido's words.

"That's right, Red-Haired lost..."

The Pirate Emperor can be "undefeated," but he absolutely cannot "fail"!

The Red-Haired Pirates' battle at Sabaody Archipelago.

Shanks was defeated by the Red Dragon Emperor amidst great anticipation.

This performance in battle undoubtedly greatly impacted the prestige of Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates.

This invisible and intangible "prestige" is actually crucial for a pirate crew.

To give a simple example.

The Whitebeard Pirates merely planted their pirate flag on Fish-Man Island, without sending a single soldier to garrison or protect Fish-Man Island.

But it was this flag, this invisible and intangible prestige, that made all the pirates in the entire seas dare not wantonly invade Fish-Man Island anymore!

The Red-Haired Pirates' defeat at Sabaody Archipelago has undoubtedly damaged the prestige of this Pirate Emperor.

The actual impact of this "damage" is that all islands in the New World and even the entire ocean that fly the Red-Haired Pirates' flag will be in danger.

Beasts Kaido is now bringing up the example of Red-Haired.

Charlotte Linlin, this experienced "veteran pirate," immediately understood.

"Kaido, are you here to invite me to seize Red-Haired's territory and treasure?"

"That's right."

Beasts Kaido nodded and spoke openly and honestly.

"If the two of us join forces, we can definitely take over all of Red-Haired's territory!"

Charlotte Linlin learned her lesson from Red-Haired.

Beasts Kaido has eaten them before, hasn't he?

The "growth" of one Pirate Emperor, conversely, is actually the "decline" of the other three Pirate Emperors.

"Join forces? Mmmmmmm..."

Charlotte Linlin let out a joyful laugh.

"Then let's get along well like before!"

Only then did Beasts Kaido casually mention his true objective.

"Besides the Red-Haired, there's another kid worth noting..."

"White Dragon."

The Red-Haired Pirates did indeed cause the Beasts Pirates considerable trouble.

Beasts Kaido also suffered quite a few losses at the hands of Shanks.

But even if Shanks' [Conqueror's Haki] is very strong...

Beasts Kaido have suffered losses, but he has never been defeated!

But the White Dragon is different.

Since becoming the Pirate Emperor.

Aside from the occasional drunken outbursts or voluntary "suicide attempts."

Beasts Kaido has never lost to anyone in a one-on-one fight!

But just before that...

Beasts Kaido lost to White Dragon in a one-on-one duel!

White Dragon's strength truly opened Beasts Kaido's eyes!

Beasts Kaido thought to himself that he probably couldn't defeat the White Dragon on his own.

Then we'll have to find "outside help"!

Join forces with Big Mom to fight against the White Dragon.

This is Beasts Kaido's true purpose in coming to Whole Cake Island!

"White Dragon? Mama Mama..."

Charlotte Linlin, upon hearing Beasts Kaido's reminder, not only failed to take it seriously but instead let out a burst of laughter.

"What's so noteworthy about a Shichibukai?"

"Or is it that the 'White Dragon' is actually in cahoots with the 'Red Dragon Emperor'?"

"If that's the case, then we definitely need to be more serious."

The White Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor look exactly alike.

This is something that all top-level organizations in the ocean know about.

However, there is no precedent for "one person eating two Devil Fruits at the same time".

Despite their suspicions, many organizations on the high seas did not consider "White Dragon" and "Red Dragon Emperor" to be the same person.

Charlotte Linlin is the same.

However, her words still served as a reminder to Beasts Kaido.

Are the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor the same person?

Or are they the same group of people?

Beasts Kaido's heart skipped a beat.

Coming to the Totto Land and forming an alliance with Linlin was definitely the right choice!

First update.

Besides.
