บท 402: Chapter 402: Courting Big Mom! Seventy Thousand Elites!

A colossal figure, stitched together with needle and thread, nearly filled a third of the laboratory with its massive size.

"What an incredible body! Just give me a little time, and I could merge Kaido's cells with White Zetsu cells. Maybe then, we could clone a real monster," Orochimaru said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Perhaps, within this body, I could uncover the secrets to immortality. After all, the body of such a strong individual is too valuable for research. It might even bring me a step closer to my goal of eternal life.

"Pfft, I'd rather turn this body into a puppet," Sasori disagreed, eager to try. "If I could combine this body with the Dragon Veins, the puppet I create would be an artwork that could last for millennia."

Clearly, Kaido's bisected body had been salvaged by the Whitebeard Pirates and brought into the laboratory.

Both Orochimaru and Sasori had taken a keen interest in Kaido's body.

"Heh, I just need his cells. You can do whatever you want with the body, but I'd advise you to act quickly," Orochimaru said with a chuckle.

Sasori paused, "What do you mean?"

Orochimaru explained, "Nagato's Pain was damaged by Whitebeard, five of them. He might want the body of this Emperor too!"

Sasori quickly caught on.

It seems Kaido's body is indeed a hot commodity.

"Hmph, I've already thought of that, no need for your reminder," Sasori snorted proudly.

...

"King, are you really unwilling to join our Whitebeard Pirates?" Marco asked the man shackled with seastone handcuffs in the cell, his fifth time extending an olive branch.

Marco leaned against the cold wall, speaking to King, who sat cross-legged on the ground: "The truth is before you, your captain is dead. That's the price he paid for challenging the Whitebeard Pirates."

"The entire Beast Pirates have crumbled with Kaido's death. Without Kaido, they can no longer be called one of the Four Emperors' crews."

"At a time like this, do you really want to stay with the Beast Pirates?"

Ash, already towering in stature, didn't even need to look up to see Marco.

With an expressionless face, he said, "The Beast Pirates won't fall apart. In Wano Country, Queen and Jack are still there. They will revive the Beast Pirates' spirit."

Marco crossed his arms and chuckled, "Do you think, with just those two... the Beast Pirates can withstand the wolves of the New World?"

King fell silent.

Queen might be fine, having the strength to stand alone at sea.

But Jack, that kid, is not quite up to par.

Relying on just their power, it's possible that the samurai of Wano Country combined could completely overthrow the Beast Pirates' rule in Wano Country.

When that time comes, the Beast Pirates will truly fall apart.

Captain Kaido is dead, an unchangeable fact.

King, as the leader of the three disasters, feels it's his duty to keep the Beast Pirates sailing the seas.

If the Beast Pirates disband, King doesn't know how he'll explain it to Captain Kaido after he's gone.

"King, let's make a deal between pirates!"

Marco caught a flicker of doubt in King's eyes.

His smile grew wider: "Originally, the Whitebeard Pirates planned to head straight to Wano Country to completely crush the Beast Pirates, to erase the name of Beast Kaido from the seas."

King jerked his head up, the chains binding his body clanking loudly.

Marco continued: "The Whitebeard Pirates can put this plan on hold. You guys can keep sailing under the name of the Beast Pirates."

After a few seconds of silence, King asked, "What's the price?"

Marco grinned: "You need to serve the Whitebeard Pirates for ten years, as an associate crew member. How about that? It's a fair trade, right?"

"Ten years of freedom for the entire Beast Pirates, and Kaido's name won't vanish from the seas. If I were you, I'd agree without hesitation."

This is a vice-captain of the Beast Pirates.

Marco felt his actions might be a bit underhanded.

But if it meant adding a vice-captain level fighter to the Whitebeard Pirates, what's a little trickery?

"Heh... Katakuri from the Big Mom Pirates, he was brought on board in a similar way, right?" King asked with self-mockery.

Marco shook his head: "Your situation is different from him."

King thought for a long time.

Finally, he responded: "Don't touch the Beast Pirates."

Marco's lips curved into a smile.

"Deal."

A man like King, once he agrees to something, he'll see it through.

No regrets, no broken promises.

And certainly no betrayal.

...

On the deck of the Moby Dick.

A woman of varying size was stuffing chunks of roast meat into her mouth as if she could swallow them whole without chewing.

She had already eaten an entire Sea King, but her voracious appetite seemed unappeased.

Yet, she was dressed like a prisoner.

Both her hands and feet were shackled, and with seastone at that, specifically used to restrain Devil Fruit users.

"Gurara... Linlin, getting you to calm down wasn't easy!" Whitebeard sat grandly in a large chair, while Big Mom sat on the floor, legs crossed in disarray.

Big Mom grabbed a drink and poured it furiously into her mouth.

Then, looking up at Whitebeard, she clenched her teeth: "Damn you, Whitebeard. After I've had my fill, I want another fight with you. I refuse to believe I can't beat you!"

Whitebeard was unfazed by Big Mom's fierce words.

When someone is strong enough, threats and bluster can seem almost cute.

"Although Big Mom's appearance has nothing to do with being 'cute,' that's more or less the right comparison.

'Gurara! Linlin, I have some bad news for you. The land you've carefully managed for decades, the Totto Island, is now under my control,' Whitebeard said with a grin.

'Even if I let you go now, you're no longer one of the Four Emperors of the New World.'

Crack—

Despite being shackled with seastone cuffs, in her emotional state, big mom still managed to crush a large bone with one hand.

She glared at Whitebeard, furious: 'Hey! What have you done to my territory?!'

"Of course it is what the pirate should do!" he replied.

Big Mom gritted her teeth in anger: 'You scoundrel, what are you really up to?'

Whitebeard put down his sake cup and gave Vista a look.

Vista immediately understood and brought over a sake barrel, filling Whitebeard's cup and then another of the same size for Big Mom.

Seeing this, the Big Mom's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

'Gurara! Linlin, we've known each other for decades. I didn't want to kill Kaido; after all, as one gets older, it's complicated to see acquaintances die one after another. But he did something... something I absolutely cannot tolerate.'

Whitebeard said to the Big Mom, 'I can return your territory to you, as well as all your sons and daughters. Are you interested in joining my crew?'

Big Mom was stunned.

She hadn't expected Whitebeard to extend such an invitation to her, a mighty Emperor.

And to think that she, Charlotte Linlin, would become a member of Whitebeard's crew? That would mean becoming his subordinate.

With her pride, how could she accept such an invitation?

"Hmph! Whitebeard, you're dreaming!" she scoffed.

"Join Whitebeard's crew? You might as well kill me!"

"Gurarararararararara!" Whitebeard laughed. "I remember, back on the Rocks ship... you said you wanted to create an ideal nation, one without discrimination, war, or strife, where everyone lives in peace."

It's hard to imagine such an ambition for an Emperor, but it's indeed what Big Mom has always been working towards.

Whitebeard continued, 'What do you think? If Whitebeard's crew and the Big Mom Pirates joined forces, would your original dream be out of reach, or easily achievable?'

"Join forces?!" The Big Mom's eyes flickered.

Compared to joining Whitebeard's crew, the idea of joining forces seemed more acceptable.

It wasn't much different from her alliance with the Beast Pirates, at least not in sound.

"Whitebeard, if I remember correctly, you're not the type to be so ambitious," Big Mom said, narrowing her eyes. "Do you realize what it means to join forces with me? Together, our power could shake the entire world."

"Gurararararararara! I indeed have no such ambitions," Whitebeard admitted openly, revealing his reason: "But I also want to create a world where my foolish sons can grow and thrive!'"

This is why Whitebeard wants to expand the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's all rooted in his concern for his family.

"It's quite clear..." Whitebeard said, "this decaying world is not one that allows people to thrive and grow."

Whitebeard's hometown was ravaged by war.

He knew all too well how twisted this world was.

Whitebeard didn't have the notion or the desire to reform the entire world; for him, a pirate, that was just too much trouble.

He preferred the straightforward and forceful approach.

As long as the Whitebeard Pirates possessed the power to balance the world, they would have the power to set the rules.

His foolish sons and daughters could then grow up properly in this world.

Perhaps they would even marry and have children of their own.

Maybe, in the future, someone would call him "Grandpa Whitebeard."

Big Mom reached for a piece of roast meat, but her movement paused.

Her plump hand moved over the bowl of sake in front of her.

"Ma ma ma ma, damn Whitebeard, give me back my sons and daughters, and all the nations too!"

She grabbed the sake bowl.

"Gurarararararara..." Whitebeard also picked up his sake bowl with one hand.

The two looked at each other and drank.

This meant that the Big Mom Pirates, who had just allied with the Beast Pirates, immediately abandoned them and joined hands with the Whitebeard Pirates.

It was said to be an alliance...

But in reality, given the power gap between Whitebeard and Big Mom, it looked more like the Big Mom Pirates had merged into the Whitebeard Pirates.

It was just for the sake of Big Mom's pride that they called it an alliance.

At that moment...

A member of the Whitebeard Pirates came running over in a hurry.

"Pops! Pops!" he gasped, shouting to Whitebeard, "Jin... Jinbe, Jinbe is here!"

"Oh?"

Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Gurararararara! Jinbe is here? Haven't seen that kid in a long time!"

...

On the other side.

Under the orders of the Five Elders, all departments under the World Government, except for the Marines, began to operate, and a large number of personnel were drawn from each department.

One warship after another was ready to launch, and the clouds of war seemed to envelop the entire sea.

Saint Saturn stood on the deck of a warship.

The active warships of the Marines could not be mobilized; some were pulled directly from the shipyards where they were built, many looking unfinished and somewhat crude.

Other warships were cobbled together by various allied nations.

After all, such a large-scale military mobilization would be difficult to complete without the power of the allied nations, especially when unable to command the Marines.

"How many people do we have now?"

Saint Nusjuro asked Saint Saturn.

"Seventy thousand," replied Saint Saturn.

"Seventy thousand?" Saint Nusjuro frowned, "Why so few?"

During the Summit War, the Marines could mobilize a hundred thousand elite troops.

But under the command of the Five Elders...

They could only muster seventy thousand?

"This is already all the elite forces we can mobilize. If you want to gather some misfits, maybe you could get a few hundred thousand. But they're no use; those misfits in the New World would all fall down with just one blast of Conqueror's Haki."

Saint Saturn said solemnly, "Most of the elite forces at sea are gathered with the Marines. It's estimated that seventy thousand is the limit of the forces we can mobilize."

...

บท 403: Chapter 403: Whitebeard's Fleet Assembles!

"Captain, why such a grim face? Did something happen?" a crew member of the Red-Haired Pirates curiously asked Shanks.

Another crew member laughed heartily without a care: "Hahaha, maybe our red-haired captain got so drunk last night that he's still not sobered up!"

"The captain's tolerance can't be that bad, can it?"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the pirates' raucous laughter, Shanks put down the Den Den Mushi and said, "Some of our friends in the New World have shared a piece of intelligence with us."

Shanks spoke with a hint of gravity, and as soon as he said this, everyone sensed that something was amiss.

"What intelligence?" Beckman asked, cigarette pinched between his fingers, frowning.

Shanks slowly stood up: "The World Government has mobilized tens of thousands of elite forces into the New World, and the person leading them... is one of the Five Elders."

Beckman's pupils shrank: "Tens of thousands of troops? The Five Elders?!"

Shanks gazed at the distant sea and said, "Their purpose is definitely not simple. Perhaps, they've set their sights on the Whitebeard Pirates."

Currently, the Whitebeard Pirates are the most renowned on the seas.

With the World Government's sudden intrusion into the New World, Shanks could only think that they were after Whitebeard.

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke and asked again, "What do you want to do? Give the order!"

Shanks' remaining hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his eyes clouded with layers of somberness: "The Red-Haired Pirates will mediate this impending war."

...

It was impossible to hide the World Government's massive troop movement, especially with those conspicuous warships.

Not only did the Red-Haired Pirates get the news, but the Whitebeard Pirates also quickly received related intelligence.

"Pops, they must be coming for us, right?" Marco said, "The Five Elders... the World Government really holds us in high regard!"

Kakashi stroked his chin and said, "The Five Elders? Aren't they the highest leaders of the World Government you mentioned?"

Marco nodded and replied, "Yeah, although we've never seen them, I've heard they've lived for a very long time."

"The Marines must be coming too, right?" Jozu clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, "That Marine admiral who can control ice, he broke my arm, I must have my revenge!"

But Marco shook his head, "That's the strangest part of the intelligence; we haven't seen any Marines."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"The Marines didn't come? But the Five Elders did? What's the situation? It's a bit illogical, isn't it? Could it be because the Marines suffered too much during the Summit War? So much so that... they no longer have the power to start another large-scale war?"

"Gurarararararara!" Whitebeard's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness, but he still laughed heartily: "Why bother with so much! If the World Government wants to wage war against the Whitebeard Pirates, then let them come!"

"This is the New World, after all. The World Government's lackeys, wanting to stretch their hands into the New World, will have to see if their teeth are sharp enough! Gurararararara!"

"Marco!" Whitebeard commanded Marco: "It's time to gather the people of the big fleet again."

Marco immediately nodded: "Okay, Pops!"

"Nagato, Kakashi, Naruto, Kisame..." Then, Whitebeard asked the "new Whitebeard Pirates" and others: "How many forces can we gather from the ninja world?"

Nagato replied with a calm demeanor: "Pops, all members of the Akatsuki organization can be called upon at any time. And all the ninjas in the Land of Rain, I can summon them all."

Kisame grinned: "No need to mention Kirigakure Village. Just a word from Pops, and the entire village, even a Genin, will come to support the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Kakashi took a deep breath and said: "The elite from Kusagakure Village... I mean, the Chunin and above, about forty or fifty people, and about the same from Otogakure. Together, these two villages could bring nearly a hundred people."

Naruto wiped his nose and said seriously: "Pops, I can ask Hinata and Neji to call the Hyuga clan, and then I'll call the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans."

Naruto grinned confidently: "They'll definitely come!" Kakashi suddenly realized: "I almost forgot about Konohagakure... Maybe, I can get Guy to come."

Orochimaru smirked darkly, licking his lips with excitement: "A great battle, is it? Whitebeard, if you don't mind, could you provide some legendary figures' bodies as materials?"

"By then... perhaps through Edo Tensei, I can turn them into temporary powerful forces. Plus, from the ninja world, I also have quite a few important figures' bodies as materials."

...

At the Revolutionary Army's base.

"Dragon, the World Government is surely aiming at the Whitebeard Pirates, we can't just sit by and do nothing!"

Sabo said anxiously: "Although the Whitebeard Pirates are a group of pirates, the enemy of our enemy is our friend! And with the Whitebeard Pirates' immense strength, if we could cooperate with them..."

"Then our work in the New World would progress smoothly. Moreover, if the Whitebeard Pirates go to war with the World Government, we, the Revolutionary Army, could strike a painful blow to the World Government!"

"As long as the World Government suffers heavy casualties in this war, they won't have the time to deal with us, the Revolutionary Army!"

Dragon pondered, glancing at Sabo: "Sabo, you're in such a hurry because of your sworn brother, aren't you?"

Sabo was startled, then scratched his head sheepishly, admitting: "That's part of the reason."

Dragon is weighing the pros and cons of such a move for the Revolutionary Army.

A crushing blow to the World Government would be a huge boost for the Revolutionary Army's cause.

It would show the whole world that the Revolutionary Army has the power to free everyone.

But the problem is, the World Government has amassed too many troops.

Getting involved in this big battle would mean heavy casualties for the Revolutionary Army.

Obviously, it's a risky gamble.

"The Five Elders, the World Government, seventy thousand elites..."

Dragon frowned in thought for several minutes, then slowly exhaled, "Sabo, I'll stay behind to guard our base. You can freely command the armies of the Revolutionary Army."

"Remember... try to bring everyone back alive."

Sabo's face lit up with joy, and he nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

It's not surprising that Dragon would make such a decision. After all, kicking the World Government when they're down, taking advantage of their weakness, and going for the kill...

He has the guts to do it.

...

"The Five Elders, Whitebeard..."

Inside a tavern on an island in the New World, a tall and burly man poured a bottle of strong liquor into his mouth.

The smile on his face was like that of a terrifying demon, "Ha! The former has the highest power in the world, the latter has the strongest force in the world. If I, Douglas Bullet, defeat them all by myself, wouldn't I be the most powerful man in the world?"

He casually tossed the empty bottle aside.

Bullet sneered, "After being in the underwater prison for so long, I finally get out, and what do I find? A grand spectacle like this."

...

Sabaody Archipelago. Shakky elegantly held a lady's cigarette, watching Rayleigh jump onto a coated boat, she asked, "You're so old, do you really want to get involved in this mess?"

Shakky gently blew a smoke ring and continued, "Besides, haven't you retired already? Wasn't meddling with that Straw Hat kid enough, now you want to get involved with the Whitebeard Pirates too?"

Rayleigh paused, then laughed, "If Roger were still here, he'd make the exact same decision as me."

"The Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, there's a bit of a bond there, isn't there?"

"Moreover..."

Rayleigh said with emotion, "Starting such a big war with the World Government, even Roger never did such a thing. As remnants of the old era, how can we not go and lend a hand?"

"Really..." Shakky rolled her eyes, "You men, why are you all like this?"

"Take me with you! I'm going too."

...

Marine Headquarters.

The Marine Headquarters is still under repair, and the massive, towering building is covered in dense cracks, not yet fully fixed.

"Kuzan, do you think what you're doing... is right?"

Today, Sengoku came to see Kuzan.

But Sengoku's current attire was very casual, wearing big floral shorts, not looking like the former Marine Fleet Admiral at all.

"I think it's right," Kuzan said confidently. "Sengoku, the Marines need to change. If the Marines remain as they were, then in my eyes... such Marines are not truly just."

"Sengoku, do you think justice would strike a place like Ohara with destruction? Do you think justice should bow and scrape to the Celestial Dragons?"

Sengoku was silent.

He sighed heavily, his expression complex as he reminded Kuzan, "Kuzan, the path you're choosing is harder than any other."

Sengoku didn't try to dissuade Kuzan from taking a dangerous path.

Any adult knows that it's nearly impossible to change another adult's decision with words.

"Be careful, Kuzan."

Sengoku spoke with a heavy heart, "You are the Fleet Admiral candidate I strongly recommended. I don't want to one day... see not a living you, but your body."

He hinted at something deeper.

"I understand," Kuzan nodded. "I'm well aware of their tactics."

...

New World.

The World Government's fleet set out to subdue the Whitebeard Pirates, each ship brimming with elite soldiers, five of which led the forefront.

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Saturn, Saint Mars, Saint Warcury, and Saint Peter were each on different ships, communicating via Den Den Mushi.

"Not a single Warlord is willing to fight," Saint Nusjuro held the Den Den Mushi, his expression ugly. "Even that scoundrel Doflamingo dared to refuse us outright."

With only a few Warlords left, none were willing to join the battle against the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Warlords seemed like mere decorations! "Damn it..." Saint Saturn clenched his teeth. "Empress Hancock, Hawkeye Mihawk, they're also unwilling? Damn it, after we deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, we'll settle the score with the Warlords!"

This feeling, as if nothing was under their control, was very displeasing to the Five Elders.

"Have we made too much noise?" Saint Mars worried. "The Whitebeard Pirates must have known in advance that we're going to move against them. Under these circumstances, they might have set traps in the New World ahead of time."

"There's no helping it," Saint Warcury spoke into the Den Den Mushi. "Do you have a way to sneak over seventy thousand elite soldiers into the New World unnoticed?"

"How far are we from the Whitebeard Pirates? How many days until we get there?" Saint Peter asked.

After a moment of thought, Saint Warcury responded, "Within five days."

"We cannot disappoint Imu-sama" Saint Warcury emphasized. "Even if we can't completely dismantle the Whitebeard Pirates, we must kill that man Whitebeard!"

"Understood." ×4...

As days passed, the shadow of war loomed over the entire New World, as if suffocating everyone.

The Whitebeard Pirates' territory had gathered a massive number of pirates.

And there were even a great number of ninjas! "It seems Shikamaru wasn't lying to me... The Whitebeard Pirates really are from another world," Nara Shikaku felt like he was truly stuck on a thief's ship, unable to come down. Faced with an invitation from the Whitebeard Pirates, he didn't know how to refuse.

After all, having decided to bind with the Whitebeard Pirates, whenever the Whitebeard Pirates needed help, his Nara clan had to step up.

Yamanaka Inoichi looked around and said, "This large island must be the upcoming battlefield, right? The combined forces here... are nearly a hundred thousand strong."

The Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Grand Fleet, the ninja army, the Big Mom Pirates, half of the Beasts Pirates that were subjugated, the Akatsuki organization...

One after another, these forces were now tied together.

It was indeed a colossal force.

Nearly a hundred thousand was no exaggeration.

"Mama mama mama! Whitebeard, you really know how to stir things up!" Big Mom grumbled. "To think you'd start a war with the World Government, and you dragged my Totto Land into this mess too."

"Gurarara!" Whitebeard laughed heartily. "You agreed to join forces with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Suddenly.

Both Whitebeard and Big Mom sensed something, their Observation Haki giving them a premonition.

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed.

"They're here."

...
