Chương 54: Kaido & Big Mom
On a remote isle in the vast expanse of the New World, the atmosphere buzzed with an unusual energy. Kaido, a formidable figure among the Four Emperors, found himself once again thwarted in his attempt to end his own life. Deep within a colossal pit, rocks and rubble concealed his massive form. However, much to his dismay, he emerged unscathed from the failed endeavor.
With a disappointed shake of his head, Kaido reached for a weathered wine gourd, indulging in its intoxicating contents. As the last drop vanished from the vessel, a flush of inebriation colored his face, causing his steps to waver. In a sudden surge of energy, he leaped skyward, transforming into a majestic blue dragon. Dark clouds coiled around him, shrouding the colossal beast in an ominous aura.
The dragon's eyes glowed with malevolence as they fixed upon the trembling figures below. A hiccup escaped Kaido, and the air grew tense with fear. "Damn that Akagami bastard! How dare he try to stop me! Such audacity!" In his drunken fury, Kaido recalled the interference of Red-haired Shanks, roiling with anger at the thwarted opportunity to claim Whitebeard's territory and establish dominance in the New World.
Unaware of the latest developments due to his intoxicated state, Kaido remained blissfully ignorant. Little did he know that if he were to read the news, the flames of his wrath would burn even brighter.
Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island, within the opulent Throne Room of the Whole Cake Chateau, Big Mom received news of the Summit War's outcome at Marineford. A heavy silence enveloped the room as the formidable Yonko processed the shocking revelation. Perrospero, the bearer of the news, shivered with trepidation, anticipating Big Mom's reaction.
In the quiet aftermath, Big Mom's expression morphed from shock to disbelief, leaving those present on edge. Perrospero, if brave enough to meet her gaze, would have witnessed the turmoil in her eyes. It took an eternity for Big Mom to vocalize her thoughts, and as she spoke, a sense of dread settled over the room.
"Where is Katakuri?" she inquired, referring to her trusted subordinate. With intentions of capturing Fish-Men Island and solidifying control over its surroundings, Big Mom now faced a dilemma. Whitebeard's survival altered the strategic landscape, putting Katakuri's mission in jeopardy.
Perrospero stammered in response, "He... he should have already arrived at Fish-Men Island by now." The recent conclusion of the Marineford Summit War left a ripple of uncertainty, and Big Mom realized that sending Katakuri into the fray now could jeopardize his very existence.
The echoes of the war reverberated, setting the stage for a shift in the delicate balance of power within the New World.
It took another couple of days for the news to ripple across the globe. Five or six days were sufficient for Katakuri to make his way to Fish-Men Island. Big Mom's eyes widened, astonished.
A fearsome Haki shrouded the entire castle, accompanied by a formidable murderous aura soaring through the skies.
.....
Baltigo.
This island, so desolate that even pirates avoided it, held a secret. Unbeknownst to many, it served as the Revolutionary Army's headquarters.
Presently, the members of the Revolutionary Army gathered there, each wearing a distinct expression — surprise, solemnity, doubt, and shock lingered in the air.
"Sengoku assembled a hundred thousand elite Marine officers from every branch to defeat Whitebeard decisively and establish dominance over the New World."
"But... they lost?"
A cadre from the Revolutionary Army was utterly astonished.
"Yeah, everyone expected Whitebeard to fall before the war, but the outcome was the complete opposite."
"Is he truly the strongest man in the world?"
The cadres nodded in agreement.
"The strongest in the world!"
Dragon, the Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army and son of Marine Hero, Monkey D Garp, and father to the rising Pirate, The Strawhat Monkey D Luffy, heard the news of Whitebeard's victory with bewilderment.
Even now, he couldn't fathom how Whitebeard achieved such a feat.
Seizing the opportunity, a cadre turned to Dragon, "Should we take action?"
"Um?"
Dragon, shaken from his thoughts, considered the suggestion: "After this battle, Whitebeard will become the top enemy of the World Government. This is the perfect time for us to act."
"I heard Whitebeard went to Impel Down and released many Revolutionary Army members. We can contact them."
Sabo, with his blond hair and a scar on his left eye, suggested, "We can!"
"Then it's up to you to contact our comrades!"
Dragon nodded, contemplating the words: "To save Ace, Whitebeard faced a hundred thousand Marines fearlessly. If only he could join our Revolutionary Army!"
Imagining Whitebeard in their ranks, Dragon shook his head with a smile. The thought of someone as formidable as Whitebeard joining seemed as unlikely as reaching the sky.
"Fire Fist Ace?"
Sabo was startled by the mention.
A cheerful figure flashed through his mind, casting a shadow over his thoughts.
The more he thought, memories flooded back, causing him to clutch his head while cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The name Ace brought a clearer realization.
