What do you mean the Blood-Eyed Ninja is still alive?

"Mama mama~"

"That bastard Kaido will be very surprised too," Big Mom grinned. "I can't wait to see that bastard's reaction!"

"At that time... I'll make him pay the price!"

As he finished speaking, a hint of anger flashed in Big Mom's eyes.

If it weren't for that bastard back then, the Azure Dragon Fruit would have been her child's.

If she gets the chance, she'll definitely teach that brat a lesson!

"Yes, we will definitely make him pay the price." Montd'Or nodded and said, "Not only him, but the other Four Emperors will not be a match for us either."

Montd'Or's words pleased Big Mom greatly; indeed, this son was the best talker.

"But Big Mom," Montd'Or said seriously, his expression hardening, "Before that, we need to find a way to bring Xi Yan to our side."

"This is actually not easy."

Although the Blood-Eyed Ninja had clearly stated two years ago that he refused their request, the other party was weak at that time, so they did not take it seriously.

But the situation is completely different now than it was two years ago; the Blood-Eyed Ninja has proven just how strong he is.

In this situation, if the Big Mom Pirates were to resort to force again, no one knows what the outcome would be.

"You mean that kid is strong?" Big Mom sneered. "His ability to break into Mary Geoise does show he has some skill, but... in the end, he's just using his immortality to annoy others."

"However, against top-tier experts, the ability of immortality may not necessarily be effective."

As BIG MOM said these words, the members of the God's Knights came to mind.

Those guys are practically immortal, but with enough powerful Conqueror's Haki, you can suppress their abilities and defeat them.

And Conqueror's Haki happens to be her specialty!

Furthermore... even if the Blood-Eyed Ninja's abilities cannot be suppressed by Conqueror's Haki, it doesn't matter; she can completely destroy his Regeneration Ability.

We can just fight for a few days and nights if necessary.

Seeing Big Mom's confidence, Montd'Or felt relieved.

If Big Mom says it's okay, then it must be okay.

"Since Big Mom has said so, let's try to recruit him," Montd'Or said. "But Big Mom, the Blood-Eyed Ninja is different from others; we must win him over completely before we can truly make him our own."

"You mean..."

"Do you remember what happened during the Marineford War?" Montd'Or asked seriously. "Based on the live broadcast at the time, this person possessed the ability to manipulate others."

"Back then, he managed to hold off many powerful figures by controlling the Pirate Empress and Tyrant Kuma."

Those watching the live stream saw the scene clearly.

Controlling the Shichibukai... what a terrifying ability that is!

If the other party isn't genuinely interested in joining their Big Mom Pirates, then it's a nightmare for them.

After all, not many of them are stronger than the Shichibukai of the Sea.

If I had to name a few... it would only be my Big Mom and the Sweet Commanders.

"That is indeed a problem," BIG MOM said, frowning.

After his son's reminder, BIG MOM also considered this issue.

She was so focused on how strong that kid was that she forgot he could control people... If this problem isn't solved, a lot of people on her side might really die.

But how can we solve this problem?

Conquer first?

After much deliberation, BIG·MOM still felt that this idea was the most reliable.

Only by making the other party realize how powerful you are can you truly bring them under your control; otherwise... keeping them around will only bring trouble.

Thinking of this, BIG MOM narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's bring him over first, and then have Galette make contact with him."

"What if he takes control of Galette?" Montd'Or asked worriedly.

"The one on our side who's closest to him is Galette," Big Mom said. "Sending someone else would actually make them easier to control."

"Besides... they were destined to be husband and wife, how can they not interact?"

After speaking, BIG MOM paused for a moment, then continued, "This... is also my way of showing my sincerity."

He openly and honestly let his daughter meet the other party, telling him directly that he was sincere.

If the other party continues to manipulate her daughter without any regard for right or wrong... then she will have no choice but to use her fists to make them behave.

"Well... okay, I understand."

What could he say after his Big Mom had already said that?

"However, apart from Galette, don't let anyone else contact him for now," Big Mom said in a deep voice. "If anything happens, let Smoothie and Katakuri. Everyone else, stay put."

Since the opponent can control the Shichibukai, it means that those below the Shichibukai are useless against Xi Yan.

In this situation, there's no need to make others uncomfortable.

"Is it just Katakuri-gege and Smoothie?"

Montd'Or paused, wondering where Cracker and Snack were.

Aren't they both among the Sweet Commanders?

"I know what you're trying to say," Big Mom said, "But Cracker and Snack are still too weak."

It's truly uncertain who would be stronger if these two were to face off against the Shichibukai, which is why Big Mom is unwilling to let her children take such a risk.

"I understand," Montd'Or nodded. "I will relay Big Mom's orders."

Big Mom nodded in satisfaction. Her son was indeed very reliable.

"Oh, right."

As if she had just thought of something, Big Mom asked, "How's it going with Katakuri and Galette?"

"According to the message Katakuri-gege sent back, they did not obtain the Diamond Fruit," Montd'Or said.

"Didn't receive it?"

Big Mom frowned. Even her second son had personally gone to retrieve the Diamond Fruit, and they still hadn't gotten it?

What exactly happened over there?

"I don't know the specifics either, I only know that Katakuri-gege was stopped by Fire Fist Ace," Montd'Or explained. "As for more details... I'll have to wait until they return to report to you."

This time, BIG MOM didn't speak, but just stared at the newspaper in front of him with a sullen face.

After a moment, she said, "Okay, let's wait until they get back before we talk about it."

It's just a Devil Fruit anyway; if the reason is acceptable, then let it go.

The most urgent task is to find a way to acquire the Blood-Eyed Ninja, so that their clan can become stronger.

Afterwards, BIG MOM picked up a dessert from the table and began to eat it, while waving to Montd'Or, indicating that he could leave.

Seeing this, Montd'Or obediently went outside.

After stepping out the Great Gate, Montd'Or looked up at the sky and murmured, "Whether the family can advance further... depends on this."

Hopefully, things will develop as he envisions.

"Jjoker, how could you be defeated?" Kaido, who was drinking heavily, cried out, "It's all because you're too weak!"

"If you were stronger, you wouldn't have been defeated by a mere brat."

At this point, Kaido's expression turned extremely angry again, and he raised his hand and smashed the table in front of him.

Then, the man started wailing again, repeatedly chanting Doflamingo's name.

This scene made the pirates below twitch with embarrassment. Was Kaido going to cry or be furious?

Wildfire looked at Kaido with a hint of helplessness. His older brother was good in every way, except that he liked to cry and make a fuss after drinking, which was quite frustrating.

Just then, a pirate rushed in from outside, saying anxiously, "Kaido, something terrible has happened!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Kaido's face immediately darkened. When did he ever have such a reckless fool among his subordinates?

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

With that, Kaido stood up, as if to say, 'If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll give you a good beating with my club.'

Upon hearing this, the pirate subconsciously swallowed, then said, "I just received news that Lord Jack has been defeated."

"What did you say?"

Kaido's eyes immediately flashed with fury. Who the hell dared to hit his underling?

"Didn't he go to rescue Joker?" Jhin asked. "Was he defeated by the Navy?"

"According to the information we received, that's how it is." The pirate honestly replied, "Those responsible for escorting Joker were Marine Admiral Fujitora, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Admiral Candidate Smoker. After a fierce battle with them, Lord Jack's pirate ship was sunk."

ember:...

Jhin fell silent. Just how stupid was Jack to rush in and save people when facing this kind of lineup?

While Doflamingo is indeed important, he's not so important that the Beast Pirates have to sacrifice such a Great Commander.

"He dares to fight these guys... truly a promising young man." Kaido grinned, then asked, "Where is Jack now?"

Clearly, Kaido intends to rescue them.

He was confident he could rescue the person as long as they weren't taken to the Underwater Great Prison.

"After Jack's pirate ship was sunk, it sank to the bottom of the sea along with the hull," the pirate said. "However, because Lord Jack is Fish-Man Race, he did not die."

"So it just fell into the sea after all."

Upon hearing Kaido sat back down and said, "Then send someone to rescue him."

The pirates were taken aback. Usually, when someone on their side was defeated, wouldn't Kaido angrily beat them away?

Why is this performance completely different?

Jin immediately saw through the other person's thoughts, thinking to himself, 'This kid must be new here.'

The position held by the Great Commander General in Kaido's heart is unmatched by anyone else.

"Alright, you can go now."

"Yes."

The pirates, having received their orders, didn't waste any words and turned to leave.

After watching the other person leave, King turned to Kaido and said, "Brother Kaido, it seems there's no way to rescue Doflamingo."

"He's probably already been sent to the Underwater Great Prison by the Navy."

If he could get there before Doflamingo was sent inside, he could go out with Kaido and rescue him.

But the problem is... by now, Doflamingo must have already been sent inside!

In this situation, even they have to consider whether it's worth doing.

They're not reckless fools like the Straw Hat; they won't rush in to save people without considering the consequences.

Kaido moment upon hearing this, then covered his face and wept, saying, "So this is your fate, Joker!"

After saying that, Kaido took another big gulp of wine, and then started crying and making a scene.

Upon seeing this, Jin understood his older brother's thoughts: they had completely given up on saving Doflamingo.

Then, he frowned and began to think about what would happen next.

'Now that Doflamingo has been captured, it means we can't get the Artificial Devil Fruit,' King thought to himself.

In this situation, they would need to consider obtaining Zoan Devil Fruit from elsewhere.

But acquiring enough Zoan Devil Fruit is no easy feat.

Even if the Beast Pirates were willing to pay a high price, they wouldn't be able to quickly obtain a large number of Zoan Devil Fruit.

What should we do?

Is Kaido crying again?

"Um?"

Upon hearing Queen's voice, Jhin subconsciously turned his head to look at the large, fat man who had pushed the door open, and frowned, saying, "Idiot Queen, what brings you here?"

"Hmph, you idiot King, of course I have something to discuss with Brother Kaido." Queen sneered and said, "And... does that mean I can't come if I don't have something to say?"

Jhin, that idiot talks too much nonsense.

Veins bulged on Jin's face. He was already furious because of Doflamingo and Jack's defeat, and now this idiot Queen dared to provoke him... Did this kid want another beating?

Thinking of this, Jin stood up, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

Queen saw through Jhin's thoughts. Normally, he wouldn't mind fighting this bastard, but he wasn't in the mood right now.

"I don't have time to fight you right now, get out of the way."

After saying that, Queen ignored King's reaction and walked towards Kaido with the newspaper.

"What's up?"

Kaido, who had witnessed everything, had returned to normal.

"Brother Kaido, I've made a major discovery." Queen held up the newspaper in his hand and said, "Just now, my subordinates outside sent back a newspaper via Image Den Den Mushi. It contains something very important."

"Can't you just say what you want to say?" Jin frowned.

Do researchers always speak in such roundabout ways?

"Shut up."

Queen gave Jhin a disapproving look. Why did this bastard talk so much nonsense?

Then, Queen continued, "Brother Kaido, you still remember the Blood-Eyed Ninja, right?"

"Of course I remember!"

Kaido immediately stood up and said, "This kid dared to charge into Mary Geoise all by himself, he's a Ruthless Person!"

Even he had to admit the other party's courage.

If he could get this person, he would probably be laughing in his dreams.

Unfortunately... he's already dead.

"Isn't he dead?" Jin said.

"What if I said... he's still alive?"

"What did you say?!"

Kaido and King's expressions changed simultaneously. What did they mean? The Blood-Eyed Ninja died at the hands of the World Government two years ago was still alive?
