Four Emperors Alliance

The azure-gold wings suddenly took flight, and Marco spun around to unleash a Phoenix Seal, but was frozen in mid-air.

"You're really impatient. It's been over a decade, yet your eyes still look so listless. On the contrary, you've truly been eroded by time. Time is merciless, Newgate!"

Sitting in his seat, the Whitebeard's eyelids drooped. He slowly opened his tired eyes, and his expression gradually sharpened.

"Gulalalalala, it's been so long since I've seen you. I thought you had long since died somewhere, but I didn't expect you to still be alive. You haven't changed at all compared to decades ago!"

"What exactly do you want by coming aboard my ship, Uchiha Huayue..."

Thud! Thud, thud...

Roughly ripping off all the medical equipment attached to his body, Edward Newgate, holding a naginata, struggled to his feet despite his illness.

"Forget it, Newgate. At your peak, I might still have some interest in warming up, but now, don't do these pointless things. It will only make your threats sound like the whimper of an old dog..."

A slight smile curved her lips as Huayue leaned back, while Zeus, inside the cloak, had already transformed into a cloud-like sofa, constantly adjusting to the most comfortable angle.

During the conversation, his azure eyes would occasionally fall on the Whitebeard's heart, a heart that had once been strong but was now riddled with hidden wounds.

"You haven't changed a bit, you're as annoying as ever. What are you doing on my ship? Explain yourself, you nasty bastard!"

"Why are you here? It's nothing really. I just wanted to tell you two things. First, I drove Kaido out of Wano Country, and he's very likely to seek an alliance with Charlotte Linlin..."

"As for the second thing..."

The voices faded away, the Whitebeard's expression shifted, and finally he let out a cold snort.

"Enough with the nonsense! What does this have to do with me? Don't drag me into what you promised others!"

"Don't say that. Aren't you friends? If you're friends, what's wrong with taking care of each other? Anyway, I've conveyed my message. Whether you make a decision or not is up to you."

"Goodbye!"

Bang!

Surrounded by White Mist, Uchiha Huayue's figure completely disappeared. Marco, who was bound in mid-air, twitched at the corner of his mouth and subconsciously complained.

"This guy is still as monstrous as ever. What should we do now? Pops, what if Charlotte Linlin really allies with Kaido..."

"Tch, who cares about them? If they want to fight, I'll fight them to the bitter end. If they want to go find Laugh Tale..."

In a moment of dizziness, the Whitebeard slumped into a chair, instinctively picked up the wine jug, and took a swig. The high-purity liquor numbed the pain.

"Let them do what they want. What strong man in the world? No matter how strong he is, he still only has the heart of an ordinary person... Not everyone is like that monster."

Thirty years of ups and downs, from just the two of them to where they are now, Margo murmured, letting out a helpless sigh.

"Pops..."

The New World, the Whole Cake Island, near the edge of a small island.

At this time, within the territory of Whole Cake Island, all the officers of the Beast Pirates gathered together, including Donquixote Doflamingo.

"Mommy, Mommy! What happened to you, Kaido?"

On the Queen's throne, Charlotte Linlin, surrounded by numerous family officials, grinned broadly and laughed heartily, seemingly overjoyed.

After being missing for a long time, Kaido, whose life was taken back by Kaido single-handedly, looked up at his former rival, who had fought alongside him in the Rocks Pirates for decades, his eyes bloodshot, and exhaled puffs of white breath from his nostrils.

"Stop talking nonsense with me, Linlin, let's join forces! That bastard, Uchiha Huayue, has occupied Wano Country, that Poneglyph will definitely fall into his hands..."

"If we don't join forces now, we'll only become dust he crushes, utter losers. Can you accept being subservient to him, Linlin?"

The voice was loud and deafening, echoing within the Queen's chambers, and it also made Charlotte Linlin's eyes turn incredibly resentful.

"Uchiha Huayue... that guy, that bastard actually dared to show his face again! I'm going to turn him into a sugar figurine and eat him in one bite!!!"

Dead memories kept resurfacing, and all sorts of humiliations attacked her reason. Katakuri lowered her eyelids, and a strange light flickered in her pupils.

"Calm down, Mom, don't forget why they came..."

After regaining some of her composure from her anger, Charlotte Linlin came to her senses and revealed a greedy smile.

"An alliance is fine, but give me your price, Kaido. You have rubbings of the Road Poneglyph, don't you?"

Kaido's brows furrowed, and a look of anger appeared on his face. Despite being wrapped in bandages all over his body, his aura was in no way inferior.

"You old hag, the alliance hasn't even been formed yet, and you already want what I have. You bastard, you're still so greedy!"

"Hey! Kid! Don't forget who you owe your success to. If I hadn't given you the Fish-Fish Fruit, how could you have grown to where you are today!"

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense. Compared to Kaido's side, Charlotte Linlin was clearly fearless, and the Fruit Tart Battleship, which had been lying in ambush overseas for a long time, turned its cannons around.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight you to the bitter end. Anyway, I've already lost Wano Country. After I've completely destroyed your Whole Cake Island, Uchiha Huayue will definitely take advantage of the situation..."

"You may be past your prime, but you have quite a few beautiful daughters among yours. That guy is still hung up on your invitation, so he probably won't let your daughters off the hook, hehehe..."

His seemingly honest appearance belies a strange smile, a stark contrast to Kaido's usual style.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin recalled the scene where she gave Uchiha Huayue a chance, only to be humiliated by him instead, which made her grit her teeth in anger.

Boom!

The armrest of the throne was crushed into a pile of crumbs. The large, bell-like eyes subconsciously swept over Smoothie, and finally glared fiercely at Kaido.

"How did you know, you bastard?"

"Tch, after you left Hachinosu Island, you made a special trip back to God Valley. Do you think I don't know what your purpose was? It's nothing more than coveting Uchiha Huayue's powerful bloodline!"

"That guy isn't Ability User; his bloodline can be inherited. It seems like that dead cook gave you that advice back then..."

Kaido sneered repeatedly. Charlotte Linlin had shown her greed for his bloodline when she was with Rocks, but things rarely go as she wishes.

"Kaido!"

"Want to fight, you old hag!"

"Emperor Sword - Shattering Blade!"

"Thunder Bagua!"

The collision of thunder and fire unleashed terrifying power that soared into the sky, igniting the battle between the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
