Totto Land's Extermination Operation!
After several days of sailing, Gran Tesoro is about to arrive in the waters near Whole Cake Island.
The "Emperor Alliance Incident" that occurred on Cake Island was also quickly reported to this golden behemoth.
"Big news! Big news!"
Morgans held the intelligence message from Cake Island in his hand, his plump bird-like rear end practically wagging like a flower.
"Beasts Kaido and Big Mom have officially joined forces... The two Pirate Emperors have come together..."
This is truly unprecedented news!
What kind of news headline should we use?
"Beasts Kaido and Big Mom rekindle their romance?"
"The strongest husband in the history of Whole Cake Island?"
"Still the finale of New World-- "
Just as Morgans was rambling on about his proposed headlines, he suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze fall upon him.
The feeling was like someone stabbing you with an ice pick.
Following his bird-like intuition, Morgans looked toward the source of his gaze and immediately saw Storm's indifferent and ruthless face.
At that moment, the threat of death gripped the royal albatross's throat, and every feather on its body seemed about to burst open.
News is valuable, but life is more precious.
Morgans involuntarily closed his enormous albatross beak.
Seeing that the excited Big News Bird had finally shut its beak, Storm turned his gaze away and frowned at the intelligence report in front of him.
"Beasts Kaido has actually gone to Whole Cake Island and even allied with Big Mom..."
Storm was also surprised by the news, but not by the event itself.
To be fair...
Beasts Kaido may appear rough and unruly, but he is actually incredibly shrewd.
That one utter idiot, whom even Storm wouldn't mention, believed Beasts Kaido's lies and practically handed over the rule of Wano Country to someone else.
Given the immense threat, it's not entirely incomprehensible that Beasts Kaido would seek an alliance with Charlotte Linlin.
In the future, in the normal timeline, Charlotte Linlin went to Wano Country to hunt down the Straw Hat Pirates, and later allied with the Beasts Pirates, didn't she?
The alliance between the Beasts Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates didn't end well...
The real reason Storm was surprised by the early alliance between Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin was that he felt his previously formulated plan had encountered an unnecessary variable.
However, Tesoro, who had just personally delivered the intelligence about Whole Cake Island, observed the changes in Storm's expression and mistakenly thought that the "White Dragon" was wary of the alliance between Beasts Kaido and Big Mom.
That makes sense.
What's more terrifying than a Pirate Emperor?
It's an alliance between two Pirate Emperors, of course!
Even though White Dragon himself had said that he had once defeated the Buster Call carried out by Akainu and Kizaru.
However, Tesoro did not treat this news as factual information.
So at this moment, the Gild Tesoro spoke up conceitedly.
"Lord White Dragon, should we abandon our original plan and attend the Tea Party in Whole Cake Island as ordinary guests?"
"Hmm? No need."
Storm put down the intelligence briefing in his hand and calmly looked at Tesoro and the three Dark World King beside him.
"Continue to proceed according to the original plan."
Storm didn't devise any particular plan for conquering Whole Cake Island.
Back when he was in Alabasta and invited Sand Crocodile to join his crew, he didn't make any specific plans for a major event like "fighting the Yonko."
It's just about defeating Pirate Emperor. Aside from the necessary intelligence gathering, is there anything else that requires a plan?
In the world of One Piece, it's all about the victor taking all and the loser being condemned.
Ultimately, it still comes down to fists!
A single punch can ward off a hundred more.
Storm's plan was simple.
The "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" traveled to Whole Cake Island Cake Island, the main island of Totto Land, to scout out the situation Cake Island in advance.
As for Storm and Ichisho, they first "wandered" around the outer islands of Whole Cake Island a few times, hoping to "hitch a ride" and pick up some decent targets.
For example, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Charlotte Brulee, and so on.
After all, once Storm arrived in Whole Cake Island, he wouldn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these "ordinary monsters".
"Lord White Dragon! We must not be careless!"
Morgans held back for a moment, but finally couldn't help but give a serious reminder.
"Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were once on the same ship, and their relationship is even closer than that of ordinary pirates."
"Now that these two Pirate Emperors have joined forces, their '1+1' effect will be greater than '2'!"
The rise of the Pirate Emperor is a secret to most people on the high seas.
But for Morgans, these were nothing but old, outdated news.
What others don't know is that Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin came from the same pirate crew— the Rocks Pirates.
How could Morgans not know!
He also knew that Whitebeard had once been a member of the Rocks Pirates!
A pirate crew that produced a sea tyrant like Rocks, Pirate Emperor like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Beasts Kaido Golden Lion, and Great Pirate of the Old Era like Shiki...
Terrifying!
"I don't like to repeat myself twice, because it makes me think the person I'm talking to isn't smart."
Storm looked calmly at the Big News Bird in front of him.
"People who aren't mentally sound have no value to me."
Isn't it just Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin forming an alliance?
Is this some kind of powerful, insurmountable enemy?
Storm can understand the concerns of Tesoro and Morgans.
To borrow a phrase from Doflamingo and Crocodile.
After Roger became the Pirate King and dominated the Grand Line, Whitebeard achieved his pirate conquest before the throne.
On the high seas, there were many "silver medalists" who were disheartened by their failure to defeat Roger and Whitebeard.
Beasts Kaido, Charlotte Linlin... they can undoubtedly be considered "silver medalists".
As for Tesoro, Morgans... these people can only be considered "bronze medalists" at best.
In the eyes of these "bronze medalists," the combination of two "silver medalists" was indeed chilling.
But why would Storm care about the partnership of two "silver medalists"?
He had already thwarted the Buster Call plan jointly executed by Admiral Akainu and Kizaru.
Now, in Whole Cake Island, two Pirate Emperors have joined forces...
It was merely a replay of the Ruschired Island incident.
The only thing Storm needs to worry about is --
How much strength would he need to unleash to ensure that Cake Island wouldn't be destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle?
After all, Whole Cake Island contains all the treasure of the BIG MOM Pirates...
All in all.
Now that Storm has demonstrated his attitude.
Then Tesoro, Morgans, and the others just need to obediently carry out his orders.
It would be impolite to continue.
Storm's attitude was clearly conveyed to Tesoro and Morgans.
Even Stussy and Umit, who were standing to the side without saying a word, could feel the coldness of this "White Dragon Lord".
Morgans reluctantly shut his mouth.
Tesoro stopped spouting nonsense about "abandoning the original plan."
Gran Tesoro continued its voyage towards Whole Cake Island.
Tesoro, Morgans, and Umit all resigned and left. They would soon need to leave Gran Tesoro and board their respective ships to Whole Cake Island.
The reason was mentioned before— Gran Tesoro is simply too vast! There's no way to sail directly into the heart of Whole Cake Island.
Stussy should have prepared in advance.
But remembering Storm's instructions, she decided to stay there for the time being.
"Lord White Dragon"
Stussy walked up to Storm and took a waterproof map out of his pocket.
"This is the topographical map of Holy Land Mary Geoise that I've drawn over the past few days."
"I have marked all the locations I know on this map... Please take a look."
That's not a lie.
Although Stussy is a high-ranking CP0 agent, her loyalty to the World Government is not absolute.
Since the White Dragon took the initiative to ask for the map of Mary Geoise.
Stussy didn't mind telling White Dragon everything she knew.
It's aimed at the World Government, anyway.
Stussy was also unconcerned about the World Government's losses.
Storm reached out and took the map from Stussy, glanced at it casually, and found that the information he had mentioned earlier, such as "Pangea Castle" and "the headquarters of the Knights of God," was mostly on it.
"Hmm, I'll study this map when I have time later."
Storm put away the map and stored it in the Treasure of the King.
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Stussy, who was still standing there and hadn't left.
"What's up?"
"Yes, Lord White Dragon ... about my 'foolish son,' Weevil."
Stussy pursed his lips and said softly.
"Will Weevil come with me to Whole Cake Island?"
Stussy asked this question, but in her heart she felt there was no need to take Weevil to Whole Cake Island.
The reason is simple.
Weevil's appearance is so distinctive!
If it were just a simple Weevil, it wouldn't have such a strong sense of direction.
But if Weevil is also accompanied by Stussy... then the implications are far too strong!
Especially now, Whole Cake Island still has Charlotte Linlin and Beasts Kaido, both former members of the Rocks Pirates.
Stussy and Weevil.
Whenever this "mother-son duo" appears near Charlotte Linlin and Beasts Kaido, it's easy for them to sense that something is about to happen.
There's also the Whitebeard Pirates.
Stussy was certain that the Whitebeard Pirates would be paying close attention to any intelligence or information regarding "Whitebeard".
Not to mention intelligence information about "Whitebeard the Third, Edward Weevil"!
As soon as Whitebeard the Third III appears.
The Whitebeard Pirates will definitely receive relevant intelligence.
Stussy himself didn't mind taking Weevil along.
During her time in Gran Tesoro.
Aside from drawing maps of Mary Geoise, he spent most of his time with Weevil.
Stussy was already very familiar with this naive and clueless "Whitebeard the Third".
She is a clone of Buckingham Stussy.
Weevil is a clone created by Buckingham Stussy.
The relationship between the two... is indeed quite complicated.
At present.
Although the relationship between the two cannot be described as "deep".
But Stussy still quite liked this "silly son".
Stussy raised this question with Storm because she worried that bringing Weevil along might disrupt the White Dragon's plans and lead to unforeseen disasters.
That's unnecessary...
Without clear orders from the higher-ups, it's best for these minor characters not to act on their own.
Stussy understood her position perfectly.
Then there's no need...
"Weevil?"
Storm considered for a moment, then nodded.
"Let's take him with us!"
"If it's inconvenient for you, then let me take him with me!"
Storm has been "recruiting" Weevil for some time now.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable opportunity to test Weevil's strength before.
Especially after Weevil obtained the [Yama-waro Fruit].
The enemies Storm encountered were mostly of the level of Pirate Emperor and Admiral.
Let Weevil face an opponent of this caliber...
They're clearly making things difficult for this fool!
Now that Storm is planning to attack Whole Cake Island, it's a good opportunity for Weevil to stretch his muscles.
Stussy received confirmation from Storm and nodded slightly.
"Then let Weevil go with the adults!"
Gran Tesoro anchored on the sea of New World and ceased its voyage.
Several "small" ships left the port of the golden behemoth. The Gild Tesoro, the Big News Bird, the Sea Transport King, and the Pleasure District Queen headed to Whole Cake Island. The destination of these four ships was Cake Island.
After the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" arrived at Cake Island and sent a message back to Gran Tesoro.
Storm waited quietly for another night, giving the "Four Uranus" enough time to gather intelligence.
The task Tesoro and his team were responsible for was quite simple.
The personnel arrangement on Cake Island, the treasure storage room in the Cake Castle, and the daily activity routes of the targets Storm had previously set his sights on, such as Streusen, etc...
To be honest.
Sending the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" to be in charge of intelligence gathering is indeed a waste of their talents.
However, Storm didn't have anyone else more suitable to perform this task.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the morning of the second day.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew out from the central Golden Pagoda of Gran Tesoro.
The trio of Storm, Yixiao, Weevil flew directly into the territory of Whole Cake Island.
The Totto Land- Out War has officially begun!
Second update.
A little earlier than yesterday...
Still under adjustment...
Goodnight everyone.
