"Adopt Whitebeard as My Adoptive Father" or "Join the White Dragon Emperor"?

Whitebeard and the Beasts ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

For Whitebeard, all he needed to do was protect his family.

Are the New Marines capable of breaking through his "defenses" and harming the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Whitebeard was absolutely confident that the New Marines could never do it!

This is the spirit of the "World's Strongest Man"!

Not to mention.

Teaming up with other pirates wouldn't be in line with Whitebeard's personality.

It might sound a little strange.

This "World's Strongest Man" is actually not an "ambitious man".

Whitebeard's "dream," from the moment he set sail until today, has remained the same.

That is "family".

If Whitebeard was truly interested in things like "rule."

Rocks, Roger, and even the Golden Lion who later escaped from Impel Down... weren't they all excellent partners?

It's worth noting that when Golden Lion Shiki escaped from Impel Down, he immediately went to the New World to find Whitebeard and try to form an alliance with him.

According to Golden Lion Shiki, he wanted to give this "warm new era" a touch of "the shock of the Old Era".

Whitebeard had no idea what Golden Lion Shiki was up to.

He had no idea that after being rejected by him, Golden Lion Shiki went off to become some kind of "Pokémon Trainer (lol)".

In any case, Whitebeard directly rejected Golden Lion Shiki's suggestion of an alliance back then.

Just like how he ruthlessly rejected Beasts Kaido's suggestion to join forces.

As for Whitebeard's refusal...

Beasts Kaido was extremely dissatisfied, but he had no other options.

He couldn't very well force Whitebeard to agree to his "alliance proposal," could he?

Moreover, he simply didn't possess the extraordinary strength to forcefully suppress Whitebeard!

Beasts Kaido downed the drink Marco had just brought him in one gulp, then stood up abruptly.

At that moment, another "method of alliance" that he had never imagined before appeared in his mind.

Perhaps, maybe, it seems... there is an effortless way to get Whitebeard to join forces with him...

That is—to become "family" with Whitebeard!

Simply put

It means—"recognizing someone as your father"!

Whitebeard was a Great Pirate who loved taking in sons.

As is well known, Whitebeard was very loyal to each of his sons and would never allow anyone to harm them.

So.

Theoretically speaking...

If Beasts Kaido acknowledges Whitebeard as his "godfather," then he can naturally gain Whitebeard's protection (scratch that) -- Whitebeard Pirates.

But...

Which is more shameful: "Recognizing Whitebeard as one's godfather" or "contacting the White Dragon Emperor"?

Beasts Kaido pondered for a moment.

I still think the former is more embarrassing...

To be honest.

Beasts Kaido always thought Whitebeard was a very strange old man.

This old fellow is even stranger than that old woman Linlin...

Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates are both rare examples of "playing house" pirate crews on the high seas.

However, almost all of the "elite warriors" of the BIG MOM Pirates were born to Charlotte Linlin herself, and they are a family with a real blood connection.

But what about the Whitebeard?

That old man with the Whitebeard only knows how to take in godsons!

This old man clearly doesn't even have a wife, yet he has so many sons...

Think back to Beasts Kaido; although he also has a "son," it's a fake!

I can't think about it anymore...

Beasts Kaido felt a headache coming on whenever he thought of his "big, silly son".

"Old man!"

Beasts Kaido shook his head, making one last attempt.

"If we join forces, we can definitely—"

"Get lost, you brat!"

Whitebeard interrupted him abruptly and raised his Supreme Grade Sword, Murakumogiri, once more.

"What is this New Marines? I'm Whitebeard!"

Amidst Whitebeard's angry roar.

Beasts Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and flew directly out of the Moby Dick.

His negotiations with the Whitebeard Pirates have completely broken down...

So, I guess I still have to go find that monster, the White Dragon Emperor?

Beasts Kaido flew through the skies of the New World, only to feel a sudden headache.

After rounds of trials and tribulations, the original power structure of pirate forces in the New World has been completely altered.

Before last year, there were only three Pirate Emperors in the New World — Beasts, Big Mom, and Whitebeard.

In the past year alone, three Pirate Emperors have risen in the New World — Red-Haired, Red Dragon Emperor, and White Dragon Emperor.

Today, BIG MOM Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates have essentially become history.

There are still only four Emperor Pirates in the New World.

The Beasts Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates.

Storm Pirates.

Dawn Pirates.

Beasts Kaido wants to find allies to join forces against the New Marines.

Then we can only look among the Pirate Emperor.

The remaining, lower-level pirate forces were simply unable to alleviate Beasts Kaido.

Nowadays.

Whitebeard firmly rejected Beasts Kaido's invitation to join forces.

At this point, Beasts Kaido only had two choices—

The Red Dragon Emperor Dawn Pirates!

The White Dragon Emperor of the Storm Pirates!

To be honest.

If Beasts Kaido can find the Red Dragon Emperor.

Therefore, he would absolutely never consider going to find the White Dragon Emperor!

But.

Just like World Government.

Beasts Kaido still doesn't know where the Red Dragon Emperor's headquarters is.

Even now, Beasts Kaido has never seen the Red Dragon Emperor in person.

A Pirate Emperor I've never seen before, and whose whereabouts I have no idea.

How can Beasts Kaido form an alliance with them?

So it's not that Beasts Kaido wanted to choose the White Dragon Emperor, but rather that he had no other choice but to choose White Dragon Emperor.

Although there was indeed a rift between him and the White Dragon Emperor.

But what's that old saying again?

They became friends after a fight!

Although Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have been good friends for many years.

He still owed that old woman a huge favor.

And the White Dragon Emperor was the culprit who killed Big Mom...

But so what?

The living can't give way to the dead, can they?

This is nothing like pirate stuff!

And if you think about it carefully...

Beasts Kaido felt that there was actually no serious conflict of interest between him and the White Dragon Emperor.

On the contrary.

Beasts Kaido has only fought the White Dragon Emperor twice.

The only problem is that the outcome of these fights has always been ugly...

If we set aside past failures...

Beasts Kaido still highly regards the White Dragon Emperor.

How should I put it?

The White Dragon Emperor was the man who defeated Beasts Kaido!

Beasts Kaido and more and realized that this made sense.

The moment the thought of casting a dragon arises, one instantly feels the vastness of heaven and earth.

Beasts Kaido felt that he had resolved his inner conflict, so he immediately increased his speed and flew at lightning speed towards the sea area where Whole Cake Island was located.

He didn't know where the Red Dragon Emperor was.

Don't you know where Charlotte Linlin, that old hag, is hiding!?

After a long journey.

Beasts Kaido finally flew to Whole Cake Island.

The aura of this phantom beast, the Azure Dragon, was naturally detected by Storm's [Observation Haki] immediately.

"Beasts Kaido actually dares to come to my territory?"

The moment Storm sensed Beasts Kaido's presence, he was completely bewildered.

During this period, he has been focusing his efforts on dealing with the conflict between the New Marines and the World Government.

After discussing with Zephyr, Kizaru, and the others how to deal with the supreme commander of the Knights of God.

Storm then left New Marineford and returned to his Whole Cake Island.

He originally intended to patiently wait for the arrival of Figarland Saint Gringu, in the Totto Land.

The result was completely unexpected.

Storm didn't get the "Celestial Dragons," but instead got a "Azure Dragon"!

Claywork: Falling Clay!

Storm's Observation Haki locked onto Beasts Kaido's location, and he himself traversed space, instantly arriving in front of the phantom beast, the Azure Dragon.

"Beasts Kaido!"

Upon seeing Beasts Kaido, Storm didn't hesitate for a moment and unleashed his [Conqueror's Haki].

Black and red arcs of electricity shot out, locking onto the majestic azure dragon from a great distance.

The black and red arcs of electricity, imbued with an astonishing sense of oppression, transformed into a vast net that completely enveloped Beasts Kaido, while simultaneously suppressing his Devil Fruit abilities.

A heavy pressure immediately settled in Beasts Kaido's heart.

What shocked him even more was that the power of his prized [Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Fruit] seemed to be affected at this moment.

That enormous, mythical beast, the Azure Dragon, seemed to have flown out of mythology.

Under the forced lock of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki], it shrank rapidly at a visible speed until it completely transformed into a human form.

"White Dragon Emperor!"

Ignoring the intense pressure emanating from him, Beasts Kaido hurriedly shouted.

"I'm here to negotiate with you!"

"What?"

Storm tilted his head, looking at Beasts Kaido with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

Speaking of Wano Country full of idiots?

Or did his previous actions damage Beasts Kaido's brain?

"What are you trying to say?"

Seeing that the White Dragon Emperor did not immediately launch a full-scale attack, Beasts Kaido breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that the moment they met, the other party would unleash a powerful punch...

He couldn't handle that!

"I mean..."

Beasts Kaido spoke up.

"You should know about the New Marines, right?"

"New Marines?"

Storm stared blankly at Beasts Kaido.

Does this guy... know something?

"Continue."

Seeing the White Dragon Emperor's "ugly expression," Beasts Kaido felt much less pressure and directly stated his purpose.

" With the New Marines established, those marines' target will definitely be us Pirate Emperor!"

"White Dragon Emperor, if the two of us join forces, we can definitely fight against the New Marines, and even dominate the entire New World!"

Second update.

Goodnight everyone.
