Not long after the Marines received the news, the four Emperors of the New World also learned from the World Economy News Paper about Ye Yu's actions at the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the New World, atop Onigashima, the Beast Pirates were secretly preparing for something. Large quantities of weapons were gradually being moved onto the pirate ships at the docks.

"Men, this time we're going to flatten the Whitebeard Pirates' nest! We'll avenge Jack the Drought!"

Kaido, standing at the front with his spiked club in hand, roared with all his might.

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

The Beast Pirates' underlings shouted themselves hoarse.

Amid the chaos, a Gifter with rhinoceros horns hurried toward Kaido.

"Report, Lord Kaido. There is new intelligence concerning Ye Yu." The rhinoceros-horned Gifter knelt before Kaido and presented a newspaper.

Hearing that it was news about Ye Yu, Kaido's eyes filled with coldness as he snatched the newspaper from the Gifter's hand.

"That bastard... actually killed Sakazuki?" Kaido said savagely.

Plague and King the Conflagration, standing nearby, were even more stunned. King the Conflagration in particular had previously declared that he would transform into a pteranodon and search for Ye Yu to avenge Jack the Drought.

Looking at it now... it was fortunate he had not gone. Otherwise, after this, the Three Calamities would only have one calamity left...

"No matter what, I must kill that brat myself to avenge Jack!"

"Not just that brat. This time, I'll completely overturn the entire Whitebeard Pirates! We'll settle old and new scores together!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates actually dared to provoke that enormous monster, the Marines. Then don't blame me for abandoning all sense of honor!" Kaido said coldly.

After learning Ye Yu's location, Kaido planned to cut off the Whitebeard Pirates' retreat after killing Ye Yu and directly destroy their base!

With that, Kaido of the Beasts transformed directly into an Azure Dragon and flew toward the Sabaody Archipelago!

Aboard the Red Force, Red-Haired Shanks was also holding the latest newspaper.

Benn Beckman exhaled a cloud of smoke beside him and narrowed his eyes. "What do you think, Shanks?"

"Ye Yu... if the situation hadn't been so tense lately, I really would have liked to pay that kid a visit."

"It's just a pity that he joined the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Although the Whitebeard Pirates have two Emperor-level experts in this war and the Marines have lost an Admiral, I still think there's an eighty percent chance that the Whitebeard Pirates will lose!" Red-Haired Shanks said regretfully.

Benn Beckman stubbed out his cigarette and looked out at the sea.

"I agree with you. The Whitebeard Pirates probably don't even have a twenty percent chance of winning!"

Red-Haired Shanks also looked toward the sea.

"Such a fine prospect mustn't be buried at the hands of the Marines." Red-Haired Shanks sighed deeply.

At that moment, a seagull flew down from the sky. It was specially used by Red-Haired Shanks to deliver intelligence.

After reading the message, fierce fighting spirit rose in Red-Haired Shanks's eyes.

"Let's go, men. We've got work! We're stopping Kaido first!"

On the Sabaody Archipelago, Katakuri looked at the Celestial Dragons being carried away, his face filled with shock.

"Ye Yu... what a pity. It looks like I arrived a step too late." Katakuri said regretfully.

Killing an Admiral and slaughtering Celestial Dragons were things others would not even dare to imagine.

Though he had never met Ye Yu, Katakuri could sense that Ye Yu... was a true powerhouse.

He called Big Mom on a Transponder Snail and informed her of the situation here.

Big Mom was stunned at first, then filled with regret.

"Ye Yu... he truly is a rare genius!"

"What a pity. The Whitebeard Pirates actually got so damn lucky to win over a genius like Ye Yu!"

Katakuri also felt deeply regretful.

"Mother, I'm terribly sorry. I arrived a step too late. Otherwise, a genius like him would not have needed to follow the Whitebeard Pirates to his death..."

"This is not your fault. The situation is tense, so return first, Katakuri. We'll wait and see!" Big Mom muttered as she chewed on something delicious.

"Yes, Mother!"

At this time, the Whitebeard Pirates had already dived beneath the sea and were heading toward Marine Headquarters.

When Whitebeard received news through the Transponder Snail about Ye Yu at the Sabaody Archipelago, he immediately burst into hearty laughter.

"Gurararara! Ye Yu, boy, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Brat who lights candles, I never thought you'd have a day like this!" Whitebeard was in such high spirits that he felt as though his illness had improved by thirty percent.

Marco, Diamond Jozu, and Vista the Flower Sword all revealed shocked expressions.

The captain of Zero Division had actually killed both Akainu and the Celestial Dragons!

They did not believe they possessed such audacity.

Now, they were completely convinced by Ye Yu's position as captain of Zero Division!

A powerhouse of this level only needed time to temper him. In the future, he would surely surpass Rocks!

"Ye Yu! Wait for us to meet at Marine Headquarters and turn this world upside down! Gurararara!" A bold aura radiated from Whitebeard.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The surrounding underlings shouted in response. Facing the impending great war, the Whitebeard Pirates feared nothing!

Along the coast of Kuraigana Island, the sea breeze stirred the waters, sending ripples rolling across the surface as they continuously washed over the beach.

Within Ye Yu's field of vision, the outline of a tiny island gradually became clear.

He slowly descended into a forested area.

After arriving, Ye Yu smiled faintly at Urouge beside him.

Tyrant Bear's ability was truly convenient. By now, Luffy should have reached Amazon Lily as well. That carefree brat had probably only just learned on Snake Island about Ace's public execution.

With Luffy around, Hancock could deal with the Marines. If he could recruit the world's greatest swordsman as well, then among the Seven Warlords, aside from the worthless Moria and the modified Tyrant Bear, their combat power would already lean toward his side!

The key to all this was still the master of this island: the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!

Walking across the island, Ye Yu quietly observed the surroundings.

Thick, faintly purple damp mist filled the sky, while large numbers of graves could occasionally be seen. Everything was steeped in decay.

Trees had taken root everywhere, blocking out the sunlight and adding a touch of gloom to the island.

Ye Yu curled his lip. "I really didn't expect Hawkeye to like a place like this. There may be no humans to disturb him, but it's far too gloomy."

Although Hawkeye and Ye Yu were both the stay-at-home type, they had completely different demands when it came to their surroundings. Ye Yu preferred sunlit beaches.

Urouge the Mad Monk followed beside Ye Yu. "Yes, Captain. This really does resemble a kingdom ruined by war!"

As they continued forward, baboons darted through the forest, making strange grunting sounds. What was surprising was that these baboons were all wearing human armor and carrying human weapons!

The reason these baboons were like this was because the island had once been a place constantly ravaged by war. These baboons had begun imitating humans and learning their ways of war, each becoming increasingly violent.

They were also known as "Human Imitators!"

These Human Imitators suddenly appeared before Ye Yu, surrounding Ye Yu and Urouge. Their shrill cries filled the area.

"These guys are really noisy." Ye Yu frowned and looked at the Human Imitators wearing human armor and wielding human weapons.

Having only just joined Ye Yu's pirate crew, Urouge was eager to prove himself before Ye Yu and immediately volunteered.

"Captain Ye Yu, there's no need for you to act personally. Leave these annoying baboons to me!"

Before Ye Yu could stop him, Urouge had already charged forward with his enormous pencil-shaped weapon.

Elsewhere, inside the Ghost Castle, which exuded a cold aura deep within Kuraigana Island, Perona had wrapped Zoro up like a rice dumpling and placed him on a bed.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, sat with one leg crossed over the other, holding a glass of fine red wine as he read the summons sent to him by Marine Headquarters. His expression was calm.

He sensed the disturbance coming from Perona's room.

"Roronoa Zoro?" Hawkeye Mihawk's lips curved slightly, though his expression remained calm.

After taking several sips of red wine, surprise appeared on his normally tranquil face.

"No, other humans have entered this island. One of them even possesses Conqueror's Haki!"

Sensing that it was not Shanks's Haki, a sharp glint flashed through Hawkeye Mihawk's eagle-like eyes. He stood up straight, strapped the Supreme Grade Blade Black Blade Night to his back, and walked step by step toward the forest outside the castle...
