Zunesha Under Attack

"Why don't I go find Marco?" Nekomamushi suggested. "We do have some history together..."

"I've considered that too. But I wasn't just thinking of inviting Marco alone—I meant the entire Whitebeard Pirates. Recently, though, they seemed to be fighting Blackbeard Pirates fiercely, so I didn't include them in our plans..." Li Ziming shook his head. "Finding allies could increase our strength, but it would be bad if we attracted Blackbeard Pirates. Besides, isn't one of the Shichibukai keeping an eye on them? I think it would be best not to draw any unnecessary enemies..."

"I see..." Nekomamushi stroked his chin. "But if it's only one person, that shouldn't be a problem, right? And if we can avoid Blackbeard's and everyone else's notice, as long as no one gets word of it, there should be no issue inviting them..."

"But that's too difficult..." Li Ziming shook his head.

"Boss Ming, I think it's worth trying. We don't need the entire Whitebeard Pirates to help us. Only some of them would be enough..." Luo agreed with the idea. After all, their current strength was still quite far from Kaido's.

"All right..." Li Ziming himself wanted more help, and since everyone felt this way, he had no reason to refuse. "In that case, we only need to call them on a Den Den Mushi. There's no need to have Boss Nekomamushi go himself. I still have Ace's Den Den Mushi..."

"I'll call Ace!" Luffy said excitedly.

Li Ziming ignored his captain. "Then I'll have to trouble Boss Nekomamushi to remain on Zou. Zou is practically our main base now, and we still have to bring Sanji back. We'll definitely be staying here for some time, so a certain level of defense is necessary. Also, we need weapons. Franky, you should stay on Zou
