After hearing Oak's plan, Kaido was the first to voice his support.
"I'll be the first to join with the Beasts Pirates!"
As far as he was concerned, following Oak was a sure bet. It had worked for him decades ago.
Besides, he had always wanted a war that would sweep across the world. Oak intended to lead them against the World Government, and that was exactly what Kaido wanted.
"Then I'll go along with this madness of yours, brat!"
Newgate did not hesitate for long before agreeing to Oak's plan.
As long as he did not have to disband the Whitebeard Pirates, he could accept the rest. The crew meant something special to him. It was more than a pirate crew; it was his home, and everyone in it was one of his sons. If the crew disbanded, his sons would lose their home.
Besides, given his friendship with Oak, he would do everything he could to help, no matter what Oak set out to do or how high the cost.
"Jahahahaha!"
"You healed me, but at my age, who knows how much longer I have? I drifted through the first half of my life and wasted decades over Roger. With the time I have left, I want to do something meaningful. So I might as well join you in this madness.
"Besides, I believe in you, brat. You might actually do what neither Rocks nor anyone else in the past eight hundred years could: topple the World Government and take the throne of King of the World.
"I'm looking forward to seeing that day!"
Shiki, who should have been the hardest to persuade and had never been willing to serve under anyone, surprised them all by readily joining Oak's Pirate Alliance.
Oak's lips curved into a smile.
