Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Chapter 442 Raising your hand isn't an apology, brother, you still need to practice more (8k)

Doflamingo has been in open contact with the Four Emperors, no longer caring about what might happen to the Navy.

Because he will soon no longer be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Law has grasped his weakness; Caesar is indeed the most important, otherwise there wouldn't be a deeper connection between him and Kaido.

Therefore, Luo tries his best to meet any requests he makes.

“Fufufufu, we are solid partners. A maritime emperor has really caused trouble here, making a huge mess of things. I really need you, my partner, to take a little care.”

"Oh ho ho ho, showing concern? Fine. If they really are giving you a headache, I'll show them who's in charge in this new world! But only if my SMILE doesn't make any more mistakes!"

"Of course, I..."

Kaido hung up the phone immediately and casually tossed the Den Den Mushi to King.

His massive body rose, casting a shadow that covered almost half of the cave.

“Jin,” he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Governor."

"Stay on Ghost Island, and don't let that old woman steal my house."

Kaido grinned, revealing his sharp, white teeth.

......

New World, Kingdom of Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

This is the territory of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

In the grand hall at the highest point of the castle, an equally enormous black shadow bared its gleaming white teeth and let out a strange laugh.

"Ma ma ma ma ma! Ma ma ma ma!!"

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, her heavily made-up face was full of schadenfreude.

"Straw Hat Boy is really arrogant. He just beat up my fleet and stole my Fishman Island sweets, and now he's already eyeing Kaido? Huh ...

Mom still can't forget his desserts.

He is quite vengeful.

Those present were all core members of the Charlotte Family, who had experienced the clash between Fish-Man Island and the Straw Hat crew, and they all remained silent at this moment.

Clearly, the Straw Hat crew and Luffy left a deep impression on them, especially the fact that a certain Devil Fruit user was not afraid of seawater.

Charlotte Linlin glanced at her eldest son and asked, "Perospero, what do you think?" Katakuri is the one in charge of physical strength, so Perospero is the one in charge of intelligence. He handles most of the big and small matters on Whole Cake Island.

Perospero licked his candy cane, his eyes gloomy. "Mom, the Straw Hat crew is indeed not to be underestimated. The strength they showed on Fishman Island is something a pirate crew that has just entered the New World could not possibly display."

Charlotte Linlin: "You think Kaido's Beasts Pirates can't beat them?"

"Mom, that has nothing to do with us. Now that the Straw Hats have captured Caesar, it's like they've directly strangled Kaido's expansion of his army. Kaido will definitely not let this go."

Perospero suggested, "We should take this opportunity to seize Kaido's territory!"

"Mama mama mama mama!"

Charlotte Linlin let out a shrill laugh, her enormous eyes fixed on Perospero, "Don't you know that Kaido and I were like brothers and sisters in the Rocks Pirates?!"

The pirates around them were all startled.

Mom looks like she's about to kill someone!

Don't think that just because they are the children of an old lady they won't be killed. When an old lady goes crazy, she'll even hit herself!

Perospero was completely unconcerned and continued, "Kaido is still in Wano Country. There's no time to gather a pirate crew and get to Dressrosa, not to mention the Marines. Akainu won't stand idly by. I guess Kaido will only send one person. When there are no Yonko in Wano Country, we'll be able to steal the Poneglyphs from Wano Country!"

"Mmm, that's a really good idea!"

The woman suddenly laughed with delight.

Perospero couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Big Mom used to talk about that Devil Fruit from God Valley for a long time. Originally, the Fish-Fish Fruit belonged to Katakuri, but Kaido ambushed her from behind and hit her with his spiked club, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

Now that she has the chance to betray him, the old lady couldn't be happier.

Pirates do value honor, but since Kaido was ruthless first, she shouldn't blame him for being unjust!

"Oh my god, this ocean has been dormant for too long, the more chaotic it becomes, the better!"

"Whitebeard has retreated into his own territory and there's nothing left to exploit."

"When Kaido and the Straw Hats fight, no matter who wins or loses, we'll be the ones who benefit in the end. We'll also get a share of that Doflamingo guy's business in the future."

"I want Kaido's Wano Country too, it'll all be ours!"

The old woman was already immersed in her dream of becoming the Pirate King.

......

The New World, the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

A tranquil harbor.

A white-bearded figure, half demon and half normal human, sat on a giant chair.

"Dad, Luffy's finally here!"

Ace said excitedly, holding the newspaper in his hand.

Just like when he was showing off his younger brother, his face was full of pride.

Having gone through two years of battles, Ace has developed a calm and composed demeanor, much like a great general. Given Whitebeard's current situation, the entire pirate crew needs a leader who can take charge.

Even though Ace said he wanted Whitebeard to become the Pirate King of this era, the entire Whitebeard Pirates are now deliberately transferring their fame and power to Ace.

"Kuralala, that kid's finally here."

The white-bearded man casually picked up a large jug of wine from the side, and even the several scantily clad female nurses standing nearby couldn't stop him.

Whitebeard's body is now much better than before, no longer needing IV drips or IVs. However, he is occasionally seen to be in a state of frenzy, attacking anyone who stands in his way.

In the two years of fighting, Kaido and Big Mom have indeed been cut down.

So after that, I lost interest in watching the Whitebeard Pirates cower in their shells. Everyone says Kaido is crazy, but Whitebeard in that frenzied state was the real madman.

At that time, the only thing that could stop Whitebeard was someone with Conqueror's Haki.

Under such pressure, Ace quickly mastered this power.

After all, he is someone who possesses the qualities of a king.

"Goo la la la la!"

Sitting opposite him, Shiki the Golden Lion, floating in mid-air, burst into laughter, slapping his thigh forcefully. "The first target is Kaido. Newgate is giving money, giving money! I told you that Straw Hat would choose one of the Four Emperors. If he didn't, you can be secretly laughing."

After entering the New World, the Golden Lion flew everywhere.

With the Floating Fruit, there's nowhere he can't go.

Just as he told Luffy before, he no longer has the ambition to form a new pirate crew, and he just comes to visit old friends when he has free time.

There aren't many remnants left in the Rocks Pirates. Shiki wouldn't dare go to Big Mom's or Kaido's side; if they invited him and he refused, he felt a fight might break out.

After thinking it over, he went to find Whitebeard.

The comical ship's wheel on his head had been removed by Law, and he looked to be in much better condition than Whitebeard.

"That's really reckless. They just had a conflict with Linlin on Fishman Island, and now they've messed up Kaido's business. Kurarara, the Navy is going to have a headache now."

"Anyone with a straw hat is bound to cause trouble. Hey, Newgate, wanna come check it out?"

To be honest, I'm itching to play with my hands.

"Kurarara, I'm really curious too, just how far has the Straw Hats developed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? But,"

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes. "The World Government won't let us old guys run around like this. Lately, those God Knights have been acting like mad dogs. I really want to chop them all down with one stroke."

I encountered quite a few members of the Knights of God at God Valley, and they were all very difficult to deal with, especially those who were immortal.

"Hey kid with pockmarks, aren't you worried about your brother at all?" Golden Lion glanced at Ace beside him.

Ace adjusted his hat. "Kaido should be the one worried."

......

The New World, Beehive Island.

This place was once the headquarters of the legendary pirate king, Wang Zhi. After Blackbeard defeated Wang Zhi, it changed hands and became the headquarters of the Blackbeard Pirates.

It's a paradise for pirates!

Beneath an island with a giant skull-shaped rock, pirate flags fluttered wildly.

This place is a gathering place for a large number of pirates, each of them looking fierce and menacing.

It's common to see one pirate backstabbing another; they're laughing and joking one minute, and the next they're slashing each other with a knife the next.

Chaos is the theme song here, and it won't change no matter who rules.

Pirates who come to this island do so because of this.

A loud, boisterous laugh emanated from inside the giant skull.

"Men! The opportunity has arrived!"

"Zehahaha! Straw Hat Luffy has finally arrived. As expected, he's a man who's always making headlines. He's already got his sights set on Kaido's head."

This is the base of the Blackbeard Pirates, the pirate crew that temporarily rules this island.

Blackbeard sat on a huge chair decorated with various animal bones and treasures. He was obese, his open robe revealing thick chest hair, and his mouth, missing a few teeth, was wide open. A beautiful female pirate was playing in his arms.

“Hey, Teach,”

A large face emerged from the ground. "The fleet is ready and can depart at any time."

The large face continued to bulge, eventually transforming into a strange man with two horns on his head.

Pizarro, the tyrannical king.

Blackbeard let out a strange laugh, "My ears have been aching for the past two years. Since Straw Hat Luffy has given us this opportunity, let's go wash away the shame we suffered in Impel Down two years ago!"
