But I Refuse!

A story unfolding in a way never imagined before...

Storm looked at Beasts Kaido, who had a serious expression on his face, and fell silent instantly.

You lawless Pirate Emperor, you actually dare to come and ask me to join forces against the New Marines?

Do you know that I'm Fleet Admiral Candidate the New Marines's Marshal?

Beasts Kaido, haven't you ever experienced the ultimate beating from "The Justice of the White Dragon Emperor"?

Storm had previously thought that Beasts Kaido was deliberately bringing up the topic of the "New Marines" because he had learned of his secret connection with the New Marines through some special channel.

He had just been thinking about whether to put on a "dragon-slaying spectacle" for the residents of Whole Cake Island Totto Land.

As it turns out now...

It seems that Storm overestimated Beasts Kaido's intelligence-gathering capabilities...

Seeing how serious Beasts Kaido was, he thought for a moment and then withdrew his [Conqueror's Haki].

The black and red arcs of electricity that had been tightly binding Beasts Kaido's massive body like a giant net gradually disappeared into the void under Storm's control.

Beasts Kaido was freed from his restraints and completely relaxed.

Really!

Even a monster of the White Dragon Emperor's caliber is wary of the establishment of the New Marines!

This is what Beasts Kaido was thinking.

Storm, still using his Observation Haki, naturally heard Beasts Kaido's "thoughts" immediately, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

This dragon's brain is definitely broken...

With a slight thought, Storm's power of the Clay- Clay Fruit quietly emerged, and a lifelike Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerged from the void, supporting his body.

Why did you come to me directly?

Storm stared at Beasts Kaido, a red light surging deep within his eyes, as he skillfully used his Observation Haki to "Hear the Voice of All Things."

"Speaking of relationships, you and Whitebeard are the 'comrades,' aren't you?"

Storm had not been paying attention to the movements of the Pirate Emperor until now.

After all, of the original "Yonko" of the New World, only two remained after he had beaten them up.

Whitebeard and the Beasts.

Big Mom and Red-Haired are now completely history.

In contrast, the New Marines...

Storm, Zephyr, Kizaru, Aokiji, Fujitora, as well as the Red Dragon Emperor and the rest of the Dawn Pirates...

With such a force, even Storm Pirate Emperor had no idea how they could possibly withstand it!

In his view, it was practically a foregone conclusion that the New Marines would completely wipe out the New World.

The other two Emperor Pirates in the New World are the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

In Storm's view, he was already "a skeleton in a grave" and wouldn't live much longer.

If that's the case, why should he expend energy figuring out the Emperor Pirates' stance and actions?

They're all going to be swept into history by the New Marines anyway!

But Storm's lack of attention doesn't mean the other Emperor Pirates won't take action.

Under pressure from the New Marines —even though this New Marines has only shown a portion of its strength on the surface.

It's quite normal for Beasts Kaido to have the idea of forming an "Emperor Alliance".

After all, this guy had allied with Big Mom before... but the ending wasn't very pleasant.

What surprised Storm was why Beasts Kaido didn't go after Whitebeard this time, but instead came to him instead.

He doesn't think he has a good relationship with Beasts Kaido!

"Of course it's because you're strong enough!"

Beasts Kaido answered Storm's question almost without hesitation.

"You're the man who beat me!"

That being said...

However, Storm's Observation Haki had already read Beasts Kaido's true thoughts.

So it turns out he was rejected by Whitebeard first, and then he came looking for me...

This is because Beasts Kaido simply cannot find the Red Dragon Emperor...

Otherwise, this guy would have gone to find the Red Dragon Emperor...

That makes sense, though.

In the New World today, Beasts Kaido doesn't have many allies.

After being firmly rejected by the Whitebeard Pirates, he was left with only two choices: the Storm Pirates or the Dawn Pirates...

But.

You wouldn't believe it, Little Dragon Man...

I am both the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor!

Whether Beasts Kaido is looking for the Storm Pirates or the Dawn Pirates.

You'll only ever meet me in the end!

Storm suppressed a laugh and spoke in a serious tone.

"You're absolutely right... As long as we unite, neither the other Pirate Emperor nor the New Marines... will be a match for us."

"That's right! That's right! Oh no no no!"

Upon hearing this, Beasts Kaido's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"With the two of us joining forces, with the clay creatures you create and the excellent equipment I provide, our alliance is absolutely invincible!"

Beasts Kaido n't remember any information about the other members of the Storm Pirates. (In fact, he doesn't know anything about them at all.)

However, he knew that the White Dragon Emperor was Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Clay- Clay Fruit.

The majestic Blue-Eyes White Dragon beneath him was a creation of his Devil Fruit power.

Just like Grandma Linlin's "Napoleon," "Zeus," and "Prometheus"...

Not Homies, but better than Homies.

The power of this clay creature far surpasses that of ordinary Great Pirate.

The Storm Pirates possess this special kind of "clay pirate."

Aside from the White Dragon Emperor, the other members no longer require any further attention...

Beasts Kaido was lost in deeper, more distant associations.

"When we unite, we will surely be able to wage a 'great war' that will sweep across the New World, and even the entire ocean..."

"By then, neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the New Marines will be a match for us..."

"We can build a 'pirate empire' in the New World that rivals Elbaf, or even surpasses Great Kingdom!"

Slap! Slap!

Storm looked appreciative and clapped softly.

"Well said..."

Beasts Kaido more excited.

"That--"

"But I refuse!"

"What?!"

"One of my favorite things to do, Vongola Storm..."

Storm stood atop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head, looking calmly at Beasts Kaido, and said with disdain.

"It's about saying 'no' to self-righteous guys."

Beasts Kaido's expression was extremely ugly, and his face was turning red at an extremely rapid pace, his entire body instantly becoming "red-hot".

The White Dragon Emperor's words really angered him!

"What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Storm chuckled softly.

"Remember this feeling of anger."

"When you arrogantly came to me wanting to join forces, that's exactly how I felt."

"You, Beasts Kaido, what level of pirate are you to dare team up with me?! You're nothing but a defeated underling!"

Under Storm's control, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings and slowly approached Beasts Kaido.

Noticing the approach of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Beasts Kaido had just been deliberately keeping a "safe distance" from the White Dragon Emperor, subconsciously took a few steps back.

These few small steps brought Storm back to a cheerful mood.

"Oh..."

Storm's cold laughter, carried by the frigid air high in the sky, reached Beasts Kaido's ears.

"All bark and no bite, that's you, Beasts Kaido."

What is the significance of my alliance with you?

"You are a dragon, Red Dragon Emperor is a dragon. Wouldn't it be stronger for me to join forces with the Red Dragon Emperor than to join forces with you?"

Beasts Kaido face was originally dark, felt inexplicably better upon hearing these words.

He had also heard of the Red Dragon Emperor's reputation.

He knew that the Red Dragon Emperor was a special Devil Fruit User...

All right.

Aside from the different scale color, the Red Dragon Emperor's Devil Fruit seems to be no different from Beasts Kaido's Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Fruit.

However, one thing is certain: the Red Dragon Emperor's "battle record" is far Beasts Kaido's.

In the previous battle at Sabaody Archipelago.

The Red Dragon Emperor defeated both Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Pirate Emperor Red-Haired.

Although he was "defeated one after another," it was not as good as the White Dragon Emperor "defeating" him and Charlotte Linlin simultaneously.

However, he was able to "defeat" a Fleet Admiral and a Pirate Emperor in succession.

Beasts Kaido was well aware of the Red Dragon Emperor's strength.

At least with his abilities, he couldn't possibly defeat Sengoku and Red-Haired in succession...

At this moment, they heard the words of the White Dragon Emperor.

Beasts Kaido believed that the White Dragon Emperor rejected him because the latter had already found an ally.

Red Dragon Emperor!

Speaking of which...

The White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor looked almost identical.

The only difference between the two seems to be the color of their eyes.

Beasts Kaido had previously believed that there was some unknown connection between the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor.

However, their Devil Fruit abilities are completely different, and their names and surnames are also entirely different...

Most people on the high seas still distinguish between the "White Dragon Emperor" and the "Red Dragon Emperor".

Beasts Kaido thinks so too.

However, it now seems that there is indeed some special relationship between the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor...

It has to be admitted.

The combined might of the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor truly makes them "invincible in the New World."

After all, both the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor are super strong individuals who can fight two opponents at once.

This strength surpasses that of ordinary Pirate Emperor!

These two monsters have teamed up again...

At least from the perspective of the New Marines, it is no longer possible for them to pose a threat to the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor.

After all, when it comes to top-tier combat power...

The New Marines only has Aokiji, Fujitora whose exact level is unknown, and Zephyr has seriously declined.

How could these three marines possibly withstand the combined might of the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor?

Beasts Kaido suddenly changed upon realizing this.

Yes...

Even the New Marines couldn't handle the combined attack of the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor.

So what should the other factions in the New World do?

To be precise...

What will the Beasts Pirates do?

A New Marines is enough to make Beasts Kaido shudder.

Now, the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor have joined forces, forming a "Two Heavenly Dragons Combination" that leaves him even more helpless...

Beasts Kaido suddenly felt that there was nothing left to fear.

Tired, let's destroy it, just hurry up...

First update.

There's more to come.

It'll probably be very late again.
