The cadres showed expressions of excitement.

"Straw Hat Luffy, the newly crowned Emperor of the Sea, with a bounty of 3.5 billion Berries."

"And Trafalgar Law, our dear brother, has returned for revenge."

He grinned wickedly, "What a touching reunion! In that case, let's throw them a grand welcome party!"

"Yay! Finally, we can really get things done!"

"Let me do it! I'm going to chop Straw Hat Boy into pieces!"

"Turn them all into toys!"

Doflamingo's smile deepened as he looked at his excited executives.

Straw Hat Luffy?

Emperor of the sea?

Fufufufufu.......

Don't assume that his only enemy is himself!

If we want a new world to arrive, then let the waves of time come even more fiercely.

"Hahaha, I bet a lot of people are interested in Straw Hat Boy's head."

Let Dressrosa become another Impel!

......

The New World, an unnamed tropical island.

Waves crashed on the beach, and a lively commotion echoed from the depths of the island.

A group of pirates are having a banquet.

Like the Straw Hat Pirates, for the Red-Haired Pirates, holding banquets is an eternal theme.

A man with slicked-back gray hair, a few curls, and a blue cloak, holding a newspaper, walked past several crew members who were singing off-key ship songs with their arms around each other's shoulders and came up to Shanks, handing him the newspaper.

The gray-haired man with slicked-back hair held a cigarette in his mouth and exhaled smoke.

Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Oh?"

Shanks' laughter subsided as he took the newspaper with his remaining right hand, casually glancing at the headlines before his eyes narrowed and his smile deepened.

The above is a summary of recent major events.

All the reports pointed to the same person.

"That Luffy kid,"

Shanks shook his head, his tone full of emotion, "Just entered the New World, and they're already showing no mercy."

"Haha, I'm getting more and more excited to see him. I didn't even have a chance to say hello in Impel Down." Beckman smiled, a rare sight on his face.

The kid who used to talk about joining them and becoming the Pirate King is now stirring up trouble in the New World.

"The Sabaody Archipelago and Fishman Island are now Punk Hazard."

And then there's the business dealings with Aokiji and Doflamingo—this is quite a stir.

"It's more than just big,"

Beckman exhaled a long puff of smoke. "He practically kicked the most sensitive nerves in the New World."

To be honest, there are no secrets among the Four Emperors.

Doflamingo is connected to Kaido, and Caesar's artificial Devil Fruits are a key piece of the puzzle for the Beast Pirates' Gifter Army.

To mess with him is tantamount to declaring war on Kaido.

With former Marine Admiral Aokiji suddenly appearing there, the World Government is probably furious.

A tangled mess of forces has been created.

"Hahaha!"

Shanks burst into laughter, slapping his thigh hard. "This is the Luffy I know!"

After laughing, his expression turned serious. "However, it seems that the balance of the ocean can no longer be maintained."

"Boss, are we really going to fight Luffy in the future? I can't bring myself to do it. That kid has treated me to so much meat!" Lucky Lu tore off a large piece of meat with bone, juices splattering everywhere.

"If we run into each other again, should I just surrender?"

"Hahaha, my son is still on his boat, how can I fight him?"

"You guys are going to leave me to fight this battle all by myself, aren't you?"

Shanks couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Don't let Luffy dislike you then."

Several cadres around him also burst into laughter.

Shanks took another sip of his drink, his smile gradually fading. "The balance of the sea began to crumble from the moment of the War of Impel Down."

Luffy's rise only accelerated this collapse. The remnants of the old era had been entrenched in their positions for too long, and the storms of the new era needed the fiercest waves to propel the ship to its highest peak.

We also have things to do. No one can predict what this ocean will eventually become, but until then...

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's time we got moving!"

"Oh!"

The Red-Haired Pirates' officers responded in unison, clinking their glasses and spilling wine.

......

New World, Demon Island.

This place is shrouded in eerie storms and purple lightning all year round. In the center of the craggy island, a huge skull-shaped building with gaping black eye sockets and a gaping maw seems to be roaring silently.

Deep within the primitive cavern, a strong smell of alcohol and a frenzied atmosphere permeated the air.

A colossal figure, as large as a mountain, leaned against the stone wall, casually grabbing a huge wine jug and drinking, spilling wine all over the ground.

Several newspapers were scattered in front of him.

"Hiccup, oh ho ho ho ho ho, you wretched brat!"

The colossal creature's bluish-black scales gleamed dangerously in the dim light as it roared, "I need a lot more SMLIEs! What will happen to my legion if that Joker can't deliver the goods?!"

"That Joker is a complete waste! He can't even keep an eye on his own scientists!"

boom!

The enormous fist slammed into the pirate next to him, sending him flying far away and denting the wall.

Beside him, a relatively petite man wearing heart-shaped lipstick and purple eyeshadow said, "Boss Kaido, calm down~ Maybe Joker can handle it soon, and we still have some in stock."

Queen the Plague, the VIP of the Beasts Pirates.

"Shut up, Quinn!"

Kaido suddenly turned his head, his crimson eyes glaring at him.

"What good is that little bit of stockpile?! What I need is a continuous stream of troops! A monster army strong enough to sweep across the entire New World and even overturn the world! That brat Straw Hat actually ruined my plans!"

"Boss, let me go."

A man's honest yet cold voice came from the side, "I'll go and bring Joker back."

Jack the Drought, the main mascot of the Beasts Pirates.

A legend is built by a shipping magnate.

"Oh ho ho ho ho, don't underestimate that straw hat guy."

Kaido drank another pot of sake, then immediately turned furious, "Hmph, I'm still angry, aren't I? These Worst Generation, who only know how to play pirate games, have ruined everything!"

His gaze swept across a corner of the cave, where there was a specially made, huge sea stone cage, inside which was imprisoned a figure covered in wounds, his fate unknown.

One of the Worst Generation, Captain Eustace Kid, who was once equally ambitious.

"See that? This is what happens when you challenge me!"

"Does Straw Hat Luffy think that winning the Impel Down War and acquiring Whitebeard's powers makes him one of the Four Emperors?"

"Still a long way to go!"

"Governor."

A deep voice rang out.

He was a man wearing a full-coverage black combat suit, with huge black wings on his back, and wearing a mask and goggles.

The Beasts Pirates' top scout, King the Wildfire.

"It's an emergency contact from the Joker."

Kaido glanced at it and grinned.

"Fufufufufu, Kaido, I've run into a little trouble."

Doflamingo's signature wicked laugh came through the microphone.

"A minor problem?"

Kaido laughed loudly, "Joker, why didn't you call if it was just a small problem?"

"Hmph, it seems the news travels fast. That's right, Caesar has been captured, Punk Hazard has been destroyed, and Straw Hat Luffy and Law are heading towards my Dressrosa."

Doflamingo said, "But don't worry, I've prepared a welcoming ceremony. If they dare to come, they won't be able to leave. Your SMILE will be back in stock soon, I promise."

"A guarantee? How much is your guarantee worth in the face of the Sea Emperor's fist?"

Kaido dismissed it with disdain.

He knew perfectly well why this guy was making that call at this time.

A waste of resources that can't even protect the industry!
