On the other side, on an island in the New World.
At the very center of the island stands a massive castle, and in the center of the castle hall sits a gigantic figure.
He rested his right hand on the armrest of the seat, supporting his enormous head.
The castle hall was empty except for him, but there was quite a commotion outside.
"Squeak!"
A voice rang out, and the castle gate was pushed open a crack. A man clad in full armor, with wings on his back and flames burning around them, slowly walked in.
Looking at the man sitting in the chair, he said with a slightly respectful tone:
"Mr. Kaido, another pirate has come to join our Beasts Pirates!"
Upon hearing this, the figure in the seat slowly opened their eyes, and a sharp glint shot out.
It's Kaido of the Beasts of the Four Emperors!
Oh no, now we should say the Three Emperors!
The Big Mom has been cold for several days now.
The island where Kaido is currently located is the new base of the Beasts Pirates.
After all, Onigashima was destroyed by them, so they definitely need to find another place to hide!
Kaido sat up straight, twisted his neck twice, and his bones cracked.
He took the wine flask from his waist and took a big gulp of wine.
King, seeing Kaido's appearance, didn't say much and remained quietly standing below.
After a while, Kaido had finished all the wine in the jug in one gulp, couldn't help but burp.
He wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth and said in a calm voice:
"Jin! Aren't pirates joining my Beasts Pirates every day now?"
"Why do I need to report this to you?"
Since the World Government began its large-scale hunt for pirates at sea, pirates on the high seas have been living in constant fear.
The fact that many famous pirates had been killed in the process terrified them even more.
Therefore, many pirates choose to join a great pirate crew for protection.
Among these, the most coveted are undoubtedly the Four Emperors ' pirate crews.
If even the Four Emperors ' pirate crews can't protect them, then they can't think of anyone else who can.
Of course, even the Four Emperors' pirate crews are not safe.
For example, Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, was recently defeated by the World Government, and she and the pirate crews that joined them went to hell together.
Even so, countless pirates still seek the opportunity to join a Yonko-level pirate crew.
Because the World Government and navy are now like mad dogs, frantically sweeping across the entire world.
They kill any pirates they see, completely disregarding the notion that a large pirate crew is a bigger target.
Therefore, for these pirates, uniting is their only way out.
Not only the Beasts Pirates, but also a large number of people in the Red Hair Pirates are seeking to join.
Of all the pirate crews, the one that most excites pirates is undoubtedly Xia Chen's Straw Hat Pirates.
After all, Xia Chen's strength has deeply impressed people, and under the command of someone hailed as the world's strongest, their chances of survival will greatly increase.
But unfortunately--
The Straw Hat Pirates don't seem to have any such plans, and their whereabouts are unpredictable, so even if these pirates had such an idea, they wouldn't be able to find the Straw Hat Pirates at all.
Therefore, the Beasts Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates, with their fixed territories, became their choices after weighing the options.
"Mr. Kaido, the pirates who have come to join us this time are no ordinary ones; they are extremely powerful!"
"I briefly exchanged blows with him, and his strength was in no way inferior to mine!"
King looked at Kaido and said calmly.
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this Kaido immediately became interested.
He was well aware of King's strength; besides him, King was the strongest member of the Beasts Pirates and the head of the All-Stars.
Their strength is among the best in the world.
However, Jin's claim that the newcomer was no weaker than him was somewhat unexpected!
"Which one of those guys from the sea is coming?"
Kaido stood up and asked.
Edward Weevil!
"Ember echoed."
Edward Weevil? I've never heard of him before.
"But his surname is the same as that old man with the Whitebeard!"
"Right!"
Jin nodded and said:
"He may not be well-known at sea, but he is very powerful. He once cut off the arm of former Marine Admiral Zephyr in a battle!"
"While Zephyr's age and declining strength are partly to blame, his power should not be underestimated!"
"And..."
At this point, Jin paused, and after a moment, he continued:
He claims to be the son of Whitebeard!
Kaido:???
Upon hearing this, several question marks appeared above Kaido's head.
The Whitebeard son?
How come he'd never heard that Whitebeard had a son?
But he quickly revealed a smile.
"He cut off Zephyr's arm and still claims to be that old man Whitebeard's son!"
"Interesting! Where is he? I'll go see him myself and test his abilities!"
With that, Kaido grabbed a spiked club from beside his seat and slung it over his shoulder.
The next moment, an incomparably powerful Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body and spread outwards.
Countless black and red Inazuma swirled around, and the glass in the castle windows shattered instantly under the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, turning into countless shards of glass.
Outside the castle, most of the pirates lost consciousness the moment they sensed Conqueror's Haki and collapsed headfirst to the ground.
A few powerful pirates who could resist this Conqueror's Haki also looked in surprise towards the castle.
"What's wrong with Boss Kaido?"
Somewhere, Jack stared blankly in the direction of the castle, and spoke in a puzzled tone.
Meanwhile, Queen, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes and remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Inside the castle, Jin remained silently standing below, not uttering a single word.
After a long while, Kaido stopped releasing his Conqueror's Haki. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he slowly walked forward, saying in a deep voice:
"I'd like to see if the World Government and those navy dare to come looking for trouble!"
"It's best they're here! I've been wanting to let them taste the power of my spiked club!"
"Add Linlin's debt to the mix, if one comes, I'll kill it; if two come, I'll kill them both!"
As he spoke, a hint of sorrow flashed in Kaido's eyes.
Big Mom was a very important person to him, and she took good care of him when he was still a member of the Rocks Pirates.
Later, he was even given the Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon!
So he was still very grateful to the Big Mom!
Kaido stopped at the door and said:
"If this world can't accept me, then I'll turn the world upside down!!"
