"Buru buru... buru buru..."
"Moshi moshi... Kaido, it's Linlin."
"I know, old hag."
Inside the completed Onigashima mansion, Kaido answered the Den Den Mushi he had kept alive for decades, speaking with the only "big sister" in the Rocks Pirates who had treated him well.
However, his attitude seemed a bit rude.
Charlotte Linlin didn't care about this little brother's attitude and went straight to the point: "Did you see the news? What are your thoughts?"
"Thoughts? Worororo..."
Kaido let out his unique laugh, his face full of excitement and praise: "That brat Yami did good. This is the war I've been waiting for."
"Only war can determine the value of humanity!"
Hearing this, the Den Den Mushi simulated Charlotte Linlin's evil smile as she spoke: "So, you're going to join the war too?"
"Nonsense! How could I miss such a banquet!"
Kaido raised his hands and shouted: "Whitebeard is old. Yami doesn't even disdain to fight him; he's challenging me! As if I would back down!"
"He is challenging everyone!"
Charlotte Linlin said in a deep voice: "One of my daughters died, and her body mysteriously disappeared. She was the user of the Paramecia-type Memo-Memo Fruit."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Black Hole Pirates' clone soldiers and modified humans were obtained by Yami from Vinsmoke Judge."
"With that kind of ability, he wouldn't even need to threaten Vinsmoke Judge to work for him."
"But according to my investigation and understanding, Germa's clone soldiers take five years each to become fully grown."
"That means Black Hole Yami is hiding a Devil Fruit that can accelerate the evolution of clone soldiers to their complete form."
"To challenge us so high-profiledly, and to tell us to go stop him from taking Newgate's Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi... it shows he is prepared for us, and even for the Marines and World Government to intervene."
"It means his wings are fully grown!"
Seeing Charlotte Linlin chattering on, Kaido immediately said impatiently: "Old hag, what exactly do you want?"
"Let's join forces, Kaido."
Charlotte Linlin finally stated her purpose: "That brat's goal isn't to become the Pirate King, but to conquer the world."
"Regardless of whether we participate in this war, he will target us in the end."
"Although I don't know how many fruit abilities he's hiding, I can't just watch him take Newgate's Gura Gura no Mi. So, let's join hands and help Newgate get through this crisis."
"Besides, Newgate was our former partner. You should know what kind of person he is."
Hearing this, Kaido fell silent for a moment. He sat cross-legged on the tatami, took a swig from his sake gourd, and then said faintly: "Actually, I've already sent King to assist Whitebeard."
"Mamamama... You're so reliable at the critical moment, Kaido!"
Charlotte Linlin let out her unique laugh and teased: "I thought I would need to use that favor to get you to agree to join hands with me."
"Hmph... I'm not stupid."
Kaido snorted coldly: "That brat... I fought him twice a few years ago. It was just a contest of martial arts and Haki. Between the first and second time, he showed astonishing growth."
"But after the Buster Call, he never sought me out again. It proves his Haki has reached my level. Even that guy Garp was nearly beaten to death."
"Although I hate to admit it, if he goes full firepower, I am not his match."
"...In that case, let's start a full-scale war."
Charlotte Linlin said solemnly: "I will also send troops to support Newgate."
"Whatever. This contest of firepower is meaningless anyway."
Kaido stated the key point in one sentence: "The final result depends on the battle between the few of us."
"Let's see when that brat moves out and where he chooses as the battlefield."
The Black Hole Pirates had just started the war with the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates and Beasts Pirates immediately joined in. This instantly brought the newly erupted war to a fever pitch, detonating the entire New World and making the whole world wait with bated breath for the World Economic Journal's reports.
In terms of heat, it instantly surpassed the Summit War between the Whitebeard Pirates and Marine Headquarters from the original story.
To let everyone participate in this feast, Morgans immediately mobilized news agencies around the world. He brought Visual Den Den Mushi to the most prosperous islands in every sea and piloted his mobile headquarters to film the battle situations on various islands, broadcasting them in real-time.
Although Kaido looked down on this contest of firepower completely...
...the people of the world had never seen such a scene.
Especially seeing clone soldiers holding various high-tech weapons and modified humans using lasers to blast pirates. This left those in backward places, who still fought with cold weapons and thought a flintlock pistol was impressive, dumbfounded.
However, this advantage didn't last long.
As the New World pirate captains and division commanders arrived, these clone soldiers and modified humans, used as cannon fodder, could no longer gain any advantage.
However, following Hancock leading the Kuja Pirates and Doflamingo leading the Donquixote Family into the fray, the situation shifted once again.
That's right, Doflamingo also joined the war.
This "Little Brother Doffy," who had been completely conquered by Yami with a single bean of Pure Gold, felt the aura of a true king from Yami.
Compared to this person challenging the whole world, Roger, who became the Pirate King by finding the final island, wasn't worthy of the title of King of Pirates at all.
From Yami's actions, launching this massive war sweeping the New World wasn't for the Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi at all.
Or perhaps, the Gura Gura no Mi was just an incidental spoil of war.
His goal was to challenge the super-powerhouses of the entire world, and he was confident of victory.
With such spirit, how could Doflamingo not go "all-in"!
It didn't matter if the World Government stripped him of his Shichibukai title.
As long as he won this high-stakes gamble, he would be the number one accessory to the world's strongest "thigh."
The participation of the Kuja Pirates and the Donquixote Family instantly escalated the war to a clash of high-end combat power.
On various islands in the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates and their affiliated forces, along with the Big Mom Pirates and Beasts Pirates, began to slowly close in on the Kuja Pirates and the Donquixote Family.
Hancock and Doflamingo seemed very clear about their position, so they began to guide these people toward a certain large island in the New World.
Receiving this news, Morgans immediately rushed to that large island with immense excitement.
With his sharp eyes, he could tell at a glance that this island would not only be the battlefield for the four Emperor crews but also the battlefield for the four Pirate Emperors.
This war, destined to change the world structure and even decide who the new generation's King of Pirates would be, was about to enter its final stage!
