Issho vs. Golden Lion

Before Kaido answer, Moke immediately added, "I'll go with Whitebeard and Red-Hair... I'll leave Big Mom to you."

Kaido's lips twitched. "Are you serious?"

Then his eyes narrowed, and he scrutinized Moke with a scrutinizing look.

Kaido's personality is unpredictable; he sometimes cries and sometimes flies into a rage. He enjoys drinking and has a penchant for suicide.

He gives off a very rugged impression, but in reality he is very shrewd and resourceful.

He used the Wano Country shogun Kurozumi Orochi to destroy the Kozuki Family and then stole Wano Country, which was easy to defend, rich in resources, and possessed advanced Seastone processing technology, as his base.

At the same time, they blocked public opinion and information to prevent the people from developing any interest in overseas affairs, thus facilitating their rule. In order to subdue the Worst Generation, they conspired with Apoo to orchestrate what appeared to be a chance encounter from the sky.

So don't be fooled by his appearance.

At that moment, he was considering many possibilities.

Firstly, Moke genuinely wanted to throw a grand wedding to demonstrate his Yamato and the importance he placed on the alliance between the two sides, and he wanted to publicize this event so that the whole world would know.

Second: This guy wants to join forces with him and Charlotte Linlin to take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates in one fell swoop, thus dividing the world into three.

Thirdly, he wants to use this opportunity to kill one of Charlotte Linlin, Red-Hair, or Whitebeard. Then, he can take over their territory and return the New World to the era of the Four Emperors.

Charlotte Linlin?

Red-Hair?

He completely rejected Whitebeard. If he knew that Moke had done the Whitebeard Pirates a huge favor during the Marineford War, their relationship would probably be quite good...

It's unlikely he'll succeed, given their alliance. Destroying him would do more harm than good.

Therefore, it can only be one of them.

But is it Charlotte Linlin, or the Red-Hair?

Or, either of them would be fine?

Even both?

After a moment, Kaido stared at Moke and asked with a serious expression, "Is it really as simple as just wanting to hold a grand wedding?"

Moke nodded. "Of course... If you have any concerns, how about I leave everything for you to handle?"

"Leave it to me?"

Kaido looked surprised and muttered to himself, "Could it be that this guy really just wants to give Yamato a grand wedding?"

Because, we really need to prepare to do something.

How could we possibly let him handle everything?

However, Kaido nodded nonetheless.

"Brubru..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Moke's arms rang.

Moke glanced at Kaido and King, but didn't hesitate and answered the call directly. This Den Den Mushi was from Ata's side.

Not Robin's side.

Naturally, there were no reservations.

As soon as Moke answered the call, Ata's voice came through. "Captain, this is Ata. We've encountered trouble here."

"Um???"

Moke looked surprised, then turned to look at Kaido.

Because the first person he thought of was Big Mom. Apart from her, the rest of the New World either lacked the strength to act, the courage to act, or, like Whitebeard and Red-Hair, had no reason to act.

Kaido and King exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

Immediately, both of them thought of Charlotte Linlin.

If it were her, it's quite possible. After all, she's a notoriously crazy woman; what wouldn't she do?

But all three of them were immediately dumbfounded.

Ata immediately added, "Captain, the Shiki is here, and he's carrying a small island. It's right above our Gold City, and he said he wants half of the Gold City's Beli. Otherwise, he'd rather destroy it..."

"Shiki?!"

Moke, Kaido, and King all stared wide-eyed; they never expected it to be this guy.

After all, this guy has been missing for a very, very long time.

Realizing what was happening, Moke's face darkened. "Old man, you actually dared to set your sights on me. If I don't destroy you today, I, Moke, will never live in the New World again."

"Whoosh..."

Moke raised his hand towards the blazing sun in the sky. He activated the Absorb-Absorb Fruit, and then transformed into a beam of light, heading towards the Gold City.

Watching Moke disappear in an instant, Yamato was momentarily stunned. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to go with him.

Because I wanted to help him.

King then said to Kaido, "Captain, that Shiki is not someone to be trifled with. Should we lend a hand? After all, we're allies now."

Jhin's suggestion is not bad.

This will deepen the bond between them and bring them closer, laying a better foundation for their alliance.

Kaido nodded. "Alright!"

He then looked at Yamato: "From now on, you can move freely on Onigashima. But remember this: you cannot leave Onigashima."

Yamato hearing this, Yamato felt a pang of unease, but he still curled his lip, looking disdainful.

Finally, he swaggered off to the side.

After he left, Kaido's expression immediately changed again. "Pass this message on to Charlotte Linlin."

"Ah?"

King looked surprised, not understanding what Kaido meant by this move.

However, he always obeyed Kaido's orders, regardless of whether they were right or wrong. So he nodded. "I'll go do it right away."

Meanwhile, above the Gold City, a small island floated. Below the island, the figure of the Shiki stood in the air.

Below the Golden Lion, three people stood suspended in mid-air.

They are Issho, Paramecia -type Gravity Devil Fruit User; Enel, Logia Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User; and Shiryu, Logia Static-Static Fruit User.

If we add Weevil and Gizas Jesus Burgess, that makes it the Moke Pirates' top five fighting force...

However, Weevil and Gizzas Jesus Burgess cannot fly.

Therefore, only Issho, Enel, Shiryu can deal with the Shiki in the air.

At this moment, Issho, Enel, Shiryu solemn expressions.

Although there were three of them, and each of them had great confidence in their own strength, the person standing in front of them was none other than Golden Lion Shiki Shiki.

Like Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, he was once a member of the Rocks Pirates. After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, he formed his own Flying Pirates.

He roamed the New World, and was a long-time rival of Edward Elric Newgate, Gol D. Roger, and others.

He even once pushed the Pirate King Roger to the brink of defeat. If it weren't for fate helping Roger...

Perhaps, the title of One Piece will belong to him, Shiki.

Therefore, how can one not be wary?

Shiki looked at Issho, Enel, Shiryu with some curiosity, his gaze lingering on Enel and Shiryu for quite some time.

"Tsk tsk... two natural... are they trying to emulate the navy and produce Three Admirals?"
