What's the Name of the Boss's Boss?
"Boss Kaido —hmm?"
King the Conflagration instinctively called out the name of the governor of his own pirate crew.
The next moment, he noticed Beasts Kaido's movements and, following the latter's direction, looked at the unfamiliar figure standing to the side.
He had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary build; even his eyes were black, like those of an ordinary person.
But King the Conflagration recognized the man's name at a glance.
White Dragon Emperor!
Wait a minute!?
The mind of King the Conflagration, which had just been brought back to its senses by the "Love's Big Mouth" of Beasts the Second, suddenly turned into a mess again, with chaotic thoughts constantly assaulting his mind.
Based on the previous analysis, shouldn't it have been the Dawn Pirates who came to Wano Country?
Isn't the Captain of the Dawn Pirates Draig, the one known as the "Red Dragon Emperor"?
Although "Red Dragon Emperor" Dawn Draig and "White Dragon Emperor Vongola Storm look almost identical, there are some subtle differences between them.
To be precise, the only difference is that the Red Dragon Emperor's "eye color" is different from the White Dragon Emperor's.
The Red Dragon Emperor possessed a pair of "Golden Dragon Eyes" that shone as brightly as gold.
The White Dragon Emperor's appearance... is closer to that of an ordinary, unremarkable person.
It lacks those iconic "golden dragon eyes".
So this person isn't the Red Dragon Emperor, but the White Dragon Emperor?
But the other members of the Dawn Pirates are also here, like Whitebeard the Second., Golden Lion II., and so on...
So this person is actually the Red Dragon Emperor?
Do the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor really look exactly alike?
Or is it...?
Is the Red Dragon Emperor the same as the White Dragon Emperor?
King the Conflagration, has lived most of his life and has never encountered a problem as "brain-burning" as today's.
His already somewhat dim-witted mind became even more muddled.
When the Beasts the Second saw that King the Conflagration was standing there blankly, not saying a word, he immediately frowned.
As a creation of Storm's power.
It's easy to imagine what Beasts the Second's attitude towards Storm was.
In the eyes of Beasts the Second, Storm was not just a figure of comparison to the "Creator," he was the "Creator"!
The only God!
God of eternity!
Originally, Beasts the Second was quite confident about the task assigned to him by Storm: "To take charge of the Beasts Pirates".
Unexpectedly, the first member of the Beasts Pirates he encountered was surprisingly uncooperative.
Is the Beasts Pirates going to undergo a major internal purge?
The thought flashed through the mind of Beasts the Second.
He simply raised his right hand silently and slammed it down hard on King the Conflagration's head again.
Love's Big Mouth is back again!
Bang!!
The Beasts the Second's slap was like an iron hammer, directly driving the black iron nail named "King the Conflagration" into the ground of the nameless island.
In an instant.
Sparks flew everywhere.
As a member of the Lunarian Tribe, King the Conflagration can create a continuous burning flame on his body.
During the burning process, King the Conflagration's defensive capabilities are also enhanced to the limit, which can almost be regarded as "absolute defense".
This is a unique talent possessed only by the Lunarian Tribe.
However, this special and powerful talent is not without cost.
If the attack is too strong, King the Conflagration's "flames" will also be affected accordingly, and in severe cases, they may even be extinguished.
When this special flame disappears, King the Conflagration's defensive capabilities will decrease significantly, but he will also gain an increased speed.
Now, facing the enraged Beasts the Second, who was almost unleashing his true power.
The flames burning on King the Conflagration's body were almost extinguished by a single slap, and his so-called "absolute defense" was nearly broken.
This is only natural.
The physical gifts of the Lunarian Tribe are indeed very powerful.
Otherwise.
The Lunarian Tribe hundreds of years ago were not referred to as "gods".
However, this kind of physical talent also has a corresponding upper limit.
The strongest known defensive ability on the high seas is Charlotte Linlin's "Steel Balloon"!
The Lunarian Tribe's "fire defense constitution" is far inferior to that of the "Steel Balloon"!
No matter what.
King the Conflagration is just a seven-star rated Great Pirate.
Even if the real Beasts Kaido stood here, he could take down King the Conflagration with a single blow.
Just like when the future Admiral, Ryokugyu Aramaki, appeared in Wano Country and easily defeated King the Conflagration...
Furthermore, the absolute power of the Beasts the Second. surpasses that of the Beasts Kaido!
That slap.
This is a "Love's Big Mouth".
What can King the Conflagration, use to defend himself!?
After a brief period of chaos.
Under the merciless iron fist of the Beasts the Second.
King the Conflagration finally regained his senses.
"Brother Kaido."
King the Conflagration first nodded to his governor.
Then, he looked at the "boss" that his governor had recently found, a look of bewilderment and desolation on his face.
King the Conflagration's attitude finally became respectful, and he called out clearly.
"The Red Dragon Emperor, Boss."
Um...
The Beasts the Second introduced Storm as the Red Dragon Emperor.
Whether King the Conflagration believes it or not.
Anyway, he believed it.
Despite King the Conflagration's respectful address, Storm remained unmoved and nodded slightly.
However, he knew that a pitifully thick barrier had already separated him from King the Conflagration.
"King the Conflagration."
Storm stared at the Beasts Pirates' Lead Performer and calmly gave the order.
"Now, return to Onigashima and gather all the top officers of the Beasts Pirates— "
"I'm referring to the Three Calamities and the Flying Six."
I'll be there shortly.
The Beasts Pirates' internal hierarchy is like a pyramid, with many levels from top to bottom.
The one with the highest status is naturally Beasts Kaido, who serves as the governor.
Secondly, there are the All-Stars — King the Conflagration, Queen the Plague, Jack the Drought.
Next up are the Flying Six (also known as the Flying Six).
In addition, there are Baryon, True Strike, and the like.
But.
Due to time constraints, and the fact that Storm had already dealt with Donquixote Doflamingo ahead of schedule.
The Beasts Pirates thus lost the opportunity to make contact with Caesar Clown.
Naturally, the Beasts Pirates lost the opportunity to make contact with the "Artificial Devil Fruit (Caesar Clown version)".
So groups like the "Gifter" and the "Laughing Groups" completely disappeared.
Although Storm himself came to Wano Country.
However, he wasn't interested in the henchmen of the Beasts Pirates.
He couldn't be bothered to deal with Baryon or True Strike.
Those people can be dealt with by the Beasts the Second.
Storm simply wanted to meet the true elite of the Beasts Pirates, namely the Three Calamities and the Flying Six he had just mentioned.
King the Conflagration nodded silently.
He glanced at "Beasts Kaido" beside him, and seeing that the other party remained silent, his eyes darkened.
The next moment.
King the Conflagration spread his wings and flew away from the nameless island, returning to Onigashima.
Onigashima.
Beasts Castle.
At the call of King the Conflagration, the elite officers of the Beasts Pirates gathered in the banquet hall on the third floor of the castle.
As for the insignificant minions, they were simply banished from Beasts Castle by King the Conflagration, told to go somewhere cool and have some fun.
Nine strangely shaped figures gathered in the banquet hall on the third floor of the Beasts Castle.
However, the atmosphere remained silent.
The Beasts Pirates are a pirate crew that operates on the law of the jungle.
The bond between the members...
There wasn't really any affection involved.
In the vast banquet hall, the only one who could speak to King the Conflagration was Queen the Plague.
Jack the Drought?
This "newcomer," who only rose to prominence last year and became Lead Performer, has not yet gained the approval of King the Conflagration.
As for the other Flying Six?
They're not even in the same league!
King the Conflagration, didn't have much to talk about with them.
However, Queen the Plague is still very popular within the Beasts Pirates.
Jack the Drought and the rest of the Flying Six were completely baffled by what was happening today, and they all gestured with their eyes to Queen the Plague.
Queen the Plague received a barrage of eye signals, raised his hand to indicate understanding, and then looked at the silent King the Conflagration.
"Jin, what's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up!"
Upon hearing this, Jack the Drought and the other Flying Six almost couldn't hold back their emotions.
Who gave you the right to ask that question?!
Jhin, who had somehow acquired a new helmet, glanced at Queen the Plague King the Conflagration, with a slightly indifferent expression.
"Brother Kaido is back."
"Yes, I know, so what?"
Queen the Plague was still puzzled by King the Conflagration's depressed reaction.
"Could it be that there's something wrong with the island that Brother Kaido just brought back? Could it be some kind of secret island belonging to the World Government? Is Luna—a member of a rare race—being imprisoned on that island?"
The Queen the Plague originally intended to say "Lunarian Tribe".
However, considering how much King the Conflagration valued his racial identity, he quickly changed his tune.
"Brother Kaido didn't bring back any new members..."
King the Conflagration rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice.
"Brother Kaido has brought back a new... boss."
What?!
Queen the Plague's face immediately showed utter shock, and even his tongue couldn't help but twitch.
The same applies to the other Flying Six.
Who is the Governor-General?
The infamous Pirate Emperor of the New World!
What does "new boss" mean?!
Before the Queen the Plague could finish their interrogation, they continued to press the King the Conflagration for answers.
Several unfamiliar presences approached from the outside.
Boom!
The ceiling of the banquet hall shattered amidst a deafening roar.
Storm's figure descended from the sky.
He was accompanied by only three people.
Whitebeard the Second.
Golden Lion II.
The Beasts the Second.
Storm stood in the center of the banquet hall of Beasts Castle, looking around as his gaze swept over the elite officers of the Beasts Pirates.
"From today onwards, the Beasts Pirates will become an affiliated pirate crew of the Dawn Pirates."
"After I finish speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"
First update.
There was still some in the early morning.
