Kaido Attacks!

So, things have really come to this?

Marco's forehead was beaded with cold sweat as he stared intently at his Pops and Azure Dragon.

He didn't know if his Pops would agree, but he knew that this answer was very important to the Whitebeard Pirates!

The longer the silence lasted, the heavier the atmosphere became.

Whitebeard didn't give an answer immediately. Instead, he suddenly raised his scarred hand, slapped his thigh, and burst into laughter. "Gurararararar, brat, you dare to say that? The World Government isn't all trash like the Celestial Dragons!"

You really think you can take down a few weaklings and that's enough to fight the World Government? Looks like you still don't know the World Government's true strength!

It was obvious that Whitebeard didn't trust Ivan.

During the Battle of the Valley of the End, he witnessed Rocks' fall and also learned about some of the hidden power of the World Government.

Faced with this power, his title as the World's Strongest Man seems like a joke.

Even he felt powerless in the face of this power, so how could the Shadow Garden possibly overthrow the World Government?

Whitebeard's reaction was within Ivan's expectations; he couldn't risk his family's lives knowing the game was unwinnable.

Ivan knew it was time for him to offer his own leverage!

A slight smile played on his lips, the curve widening until he broke into a wanton laugh, "Hahahaha, Whitebeard, do you really think the Shadow Garden has no external forces at play?"

"Oh, what is it?" Apart from Whitebeard, the others also looked at Ivan with curiosity, wanting to know what kind of power the Shadow Garden, an organization that dared to provoke the World Government, was hiding.

Ivan remained silent, only demonstrating.

His figure suddenly vanished from his original spot, reappeared at the bow of the Moby Dick, and then reappeared before Whitebeard and the others.

Then, he held up one finger. "This is the first ability!"

The next moment, he brought his palms together and swung the sword at the sea, which was immediately split open by the strike.

This time, Ivan held up a second finger. "This is the second ability!"

Ivan spread his arms and floated in the low air, his body rising higher and higher until it was level with the Whitebeard.

Only then did he continue, "This is the third ability!"

At this moment, the Whitebeard Pirates began to breathe rapidly.

They suddenly realized that Ivan wanted to say something.

As expected, Ivan's deep voice rang out, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the Whitebeard Pirates: "I think you know the abilities of the other members of the Shadow Garden. All members of the Shadow Garden have the ability to fly and Teleportation, and they also have unique personal abilities."

Some on the high seas have speculated that the Shadow Garden has broken the rule that one person can only eat one Devil Fruit, and today I'm here to tell you, it's true!

These words caused an uproar in the audience!

They certainly knew what this meant; when a person masters multiple abilities, their strength undergoes a dramatic transformation.

Just like the Tanuki in the Shadow Garden.

His strength was far inferior to Kizaru's Kizaru, but he gained superior mobility by using Teleportation.

It was precisely because of this extreme speed that he was able to accomplish the astonishing feat of slaughtering the entire upper echelons of Water 7 while being pursued by Kizaru.

This is just Tanuki.

If multiple abilities are combined and bestowed upon the top experts in the ocean, their strength will surely rise again, stepping into an unprecedented new realm!

Just like Whitebeard, if he had gained the ability to teleport and fly on top of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, then he alone would be enough to wipe out Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

At that time, his power was enough to completely throw this ocean out of balance!

Upon realizing this, the Whitebeard Pirates immediately looked at Ivan with fervent eyes.

Of course, there were also intelligent people in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco took a step forward, his gaze tightening around Ivan: "This ability must have some limitations, otherwise the Shadow Garden would have launched a full-scale attack on Mary Geoise long ago."

Ivan nodded and modified the settings for Apocalypse: Enhancement: "That's right, the stronger a person is, the greater the cost of enhancing them."

"The Shadow Garden is not yet capable of enhancing the power of someone as strong as Whitebeard."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If even the top experts on the high seas could be strengthened again, they dared not imagine how terrifying the Shadow Garden's strength would become in the future!

This single offer was enough to truly sway Whitebeard's interest.

The Shadow Garden once possessed only dreams of shaking the world, but now they finally have the power to match them.

Just as Whitebeard was about to speak, Ivan's smile grew even brighter, and he threw out his trump card.

The already severely tilted scales completely lost their balance at this moment, plummeting down until they were perpendicular to the ground!

"By the way, you might not know this, but besides flight and teleportation, Shadow Garden has other abilities that can be used to enhance your abilities."

And that ability is— Agelessness!

"Agelessness!" Marco's voice trembled slightly.

He was the first to realize what this ability meant to the Whitebeard Pirates: "What—what is its purpose?"

Ivan smiled and nodded, "Just as you think, it can greatly increase a person's lifespan, almost to the point of immortality! By the way, this ability is also useful for the elderly."

The atmosphere completely spiraled out of control. The entire Whitebeard Pirates stared at Ivan with unprecedented fervor. Ace even jumped out from the crowd, excitedly shouting, "Great! Now Pops's saved!"

Marco stated directly, "Mr. Azure Dragon, the Whitebeard Pirates have agreed to form an alliance with Shadow Garden."

If you can enhance Pops's abilities and grant Pops Agelessness, we will do everything in our power to help you defeat the World Government!

Whitebeard didn't object; Ivan had indeed offered him a price he simply couldn't refuse.

Next, the two sides signed an alliance agreement.

When Shadow Garden attacks Mary Geoise, the Whitebeard Pirates should provide full assistance.

Shadow Garden needs to strengthen Whitebeard, granting him the ability of Immortality and restoring him to his peak condition.

With the situation under control, Ivan raised his wine bowl to the Whitebeard: "In that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration!"

"Gurarararar, kid, it's a pleasure doing business with you!" Whitebeard clinked bowls with Ivan, in high spirits.

At this moment, Whitebeard had a new dream: to grant all his family members the ability to stay Agelessness.

In this way, his cherished family will never be separated again.

However, it seems that some people do not want to see this harmony on the Moby Dick.

Before long, thunder suddenly filled the Sky Manipulation, and dark clouds obscured the azure Sky Manipulation.

The Whitebeard was the first to look up at the Sky Manipulation, veins bulging on his forehead.

Damn it, that guy's causing trouble again!

Just then, accompanied by a dazzling flash of lightning, a massive figure, eight hundred meters long, descended from the sky and charged toward the Moby Dick.

The next moment, the newcomer's roar was even more deafening than thunder, "Whitebeard, hand over the Azure Dragon!"
