Bab 396: 396 Movement from All Parties
Big Mom was very happy when she heard that Whitebeard was going to attack Kaido, because she felt that her revenge against Whitebeard would be easier.
Kaido's in trouble and won't turn down any help.
So, Big Mom could team up with him effortlessly to take on their common foe.
Big Mom got super excited and hopeful. She knew she couldn't handle Whitebeard alone, but with Kaido's strength added to hers, it seemed like a golden chance.
With this in mind, Big Mom's anger towards Katakuri eased up a lot. She figured that once she dealt with Whitebeard, she could take her time settling things with her children.
So, Big Mom quickly told them, "If that's how it is, you can go. But if we meet on the battlefield later, I won't show mercy on you."
After speaking, Big Mom ignored them and left indifferently. Big Mom quickly disappeared from everyone's sight using cloud homitz.
Katakuri and the others kept staring in the direction Big Mom went for a long time. After a while, Perospero said, "Is Mama gonna help Kaido?"
"From what she just said, it's pretty clear. Her hatred against Whitebeard won't let them both exist at the same time. One of them has to fall down, and it's likely our mother who fall."
Katakuri said with a sigh.
"Let's keep moving. Let's just pray we don't meet our Mother on the battlefield."
….
Katakuri led the way as they headed for Wanokuni. Meanwhile, Momonosuke and his group reached Zou, where the Mink tribe had successfully rescued Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
Right after that, Momonosuke and his crew also headed for Wanokuni.
At that moment, Whitebeard hadn't reached Wanokuni yet, and Kaido's forces on the main island were still pulling back to Onigashima island.
Kurozumi Orochi, the Shogun of Wanokuni, began making moves of his own. He kept most of his power hidden. Even though he was prepared to surrender, he didn't plan to bring all his forces along.
After all, the final outcome is still uncertain. Kurozumi is cautious, keeping some power in reserve in case he needs to turn the tables.
The president of the World Economic News Agency, Morgans, and some New World kings also went to Wanokuni to witness the epic war scene with their own eyes.
Of course, besides them, many others are interested in this war. It's quite the spectacle.
For example, Red-Hair and Hawkeye are interested. Red-Hair was expecting news when he first heard about it, but he didn't support the war. In recent years, he has been dedicated to maintaining peace on the sea.
However, Whitebeard's reappearance quickly disrupted the long-standing stability at sea.
Even though Whitebeard's goal is to unify the sea to maintain peace and has the power to do so, his approach conflicts with Red-Hair's vision.
Simply put, Red-Hair prefers stability, even if it means a balance of power among the four emperors. In contrast, Whitebeard wants to unify the seas by force.
"Let's go to Wanokuni now," Shanks decided after some thought.
Benn Beckman then asked, "Captain, are you planning to stop them or join the war?"
Shanks shook his head. "I can't stop Whitebeard. I don't know how this will end, but the world is watching. I just don't want things to be out of control."
"I understand," Benn Beckman nodded. As the smartest member of the crew, he didn't need Shanks to explain further.
On Kuraigana Island, Hawkeye, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in his castle and drinking red wine leisurely. At this moment, Perona's voice suddenly came.
"Hawkeye, look at this. Whitebeard is going to war with Kaido."
A girl with a pink ponytail floated in from outside, holding a delicate umbrella and a brand-new newspaper.
Hearing this news, the red wine glass in Hawkeye's hand wavered. He quickly said, "Let me see."
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen you so excited. It seems you're taking this news seriously,"
Perona joked suddenly. She always thought Hawkeye was calm, never showing surprise or emotion. But now, she sensed a bit of surprise from Hawkeye
Perona wanted to see Hawkeye's excitement for herself. Instead of handing him the newspaper, she hovered in mid-air, smiling as she watched him.
"Ghost girl, I don't have time to play with you, give it to me now!" Hawkeye suddenly became serious, his expression was serious
"Okay," Perona stuck out her tongue and handed him the newspaper reluctantly.
Hawkeye looked at it intently and muttered to himself, "This guy, Is he making his move again? And it seems he's gathered quite a few strong people."
When Hawkeye learned about Whitebeard's declaration of war against Kaido, the newspaper also listed the members of Whitebeard's crew.
Some of the names caught Hawkeye's attention.
However, the most interesting thing for Hawkeye is still the clash between Whitebeard and Kaido. It's a showdown between top powerhouses, which naturally excites him.
Even though Hawkeye is already known as the world's number one swordsman, compared to Kaido's of Four Emperors, there's still a huge gap present between them.
"I want to go out," Hawkeye stood up and said, surprising himself a bit. He owned the castle and didn't need to explain his actions to Perona.
It seems Perona has always been here, and Hawkeye has unknowingly formed a habit. Although he used to be alone.
"Ah? Where are you going? Are you going to join their war? That sounds too dangerous," Perona immediately expressed her concern.
"It's none of your problem,"
Hawkeye said, then headed back to his room, leaving Perona waiting outside. There were only two people on the island: Hawkeye and Perona. Now that Hawkeye was gone, she was left alone.
After a while, Hawkeye stepped out, looking neat, with his signature weapon, Yoru, slung behind his back.
Seeing Hawkeye's seriousness, Perona immediately spoke up, "Are you heading out now? It's already dark, and Zoro has gone back to his pirate crew. Do you really want to leave me alone?"
"If you don't want to stay here, you can come along," Hawkeye replied casually. To him, the night meant nothing. He needed to reach Wanokuni as quickly as possible and couldn't afford to miss out on such a grand battle.
"Really? Can I come with you? That's great!" Perona saw it as Hawkeye inviting her and cheered with joy.
