Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 372 The Emperor Pirates' Moves!

Kaido of the Beasts completely ignored Orochi, who was prostrating himself and humbly apologizing.

Even though he and Kurozumi Orochi were once "close comrades-in-arms" who fought together against Kozuki Oden.

But how many years has Kozuki Oden been dead?

The "friendship" between Kaido of the Beasts and Orochi had long since dissipated with the passage of time. To him, Orochi was merely a suitable and useful tool.

After all, the six great families that originally ruled Wano Country "since ancient times" have ruled this island nation.

Light Moon, Heavenly Moon, Frost Moon, Wind Moon, Rain Moon, Black Charcoal.

Excluding the charcoal family.

The remaining five families.

They were all dealt with one by one during Kaido's rule of Wano Country.

Now only the Kurozumi family remains, barely maintaining the "legitimate power" of the original rulers of Wano Country.

But so what?

More than a decade ago, Kaido of the Beasts, whose power was still immature, did indeed need the incompetent Kurozumi Orochi to nominally rule Wano Country and prevent the people of Wano from launching wave after wave of rebellions.

By now, Kaido of the Beasts has long since amassed great power and is a world-renowned pirate emperor.

He is still the "Guardian King" of Wano Country, rather than the "Shogun" of Wano Country.

It's just that Kaido of the Beasts is too lazy to be the official ruler of Wano Country!

Even if Kurozumi Orochi became the shogun of Wano Country.

Isn't Kaido of the Beasts still the person with the most influence in Wano Country?

The so-called Shogun of Wano Country?

What's so noble about that?!

They're just a bunch of rotten, stupid, and incompetent scum who should have been swept into the trash heap long ago!

If Kaido of the Beasts wanted to, he could completely wipe out Kurozumi Orochi today and then support his "foolish son" to become the new Shogun of Wano Country!

(In chapter 985 of the manga, after the Beasts and Big Mom formed an alliance, they first chopped off Orochi's head with a single slash.)

Then he publicly announced that Yamato would become the new shogun of Wano Country.

In Kaido's eyes, apart from those strong enough to rival him, there is almost no one else on the sea who can catch his eye.

In Wano Country, there are even fewer people who qualify to be Kaido's focus!

At least Orochi is not included in this list.

Kaido of the Beasts completely ignored Orochi, who was still kneeling in reverence, and casually picked up the huge gourd beside him.

He gulped down several mouthfuls of the mellow liquor.

Compared to the messy and chaotic affairs in Wano Country.

Kaido of the Beasts is still more concerned about the new Navy!

He had already seen through the World Government's strategy and intentions.

As a true heavy drinker, Kaido of the Beasts rarely gets truly drunk.

At least after learning about the establishment of the new navy, Kaido of the Beasts was completely brought to his senses.

The World Government contacted Kaido at the very moment when he was most lucid.

Isn't the world government just trying to "use someone else to do their dirty work"?

Borrow his "Beasts" pirate scimitar to kill the "New Navy"!

Kaido of the Beasts is very familiar with this kind of thing; there's no need to mention things from too long ago.

When Kaido of the Beasts entered Wano Country, didn't he also use the people of Wano Country as a "sword" to kill that super idiot Kozuki Oden?

The World Government wants to use Kaido's power to test the new Navy's strength—such a risky thing, how could I possibly do it?!

Kaido of the Beasts took another swig of wine, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Beneath his seemingly fierce and reckless exterior lies an extremely cunning "pirate heart".

In fact.

Kaido of the Beasts is very shrewd and full of tricks.

In his view.

The new Navy has defeated the Red-Haired Pirates.

That includes the entire main force of the Red-Haired Pirates, including Shanks!

Based on this alone.

Kaido of the Beasts wouldn't have recklessly approached the new Marines!

Although some are reluctant to admit it.

However, the strength of that brat Shanks has indeed earned the recognition of Kaido of the Beasts.

To put it more tactfully, Shanks' strength is no less than Kaido's!

therefore.

A new Marine capable of completely defeating the Red-Haired Pirates, surely they can handle Kaido of the Beasts?

If Kaido of the Beasts were really going to cause trouble at the new Marine headquarters for the World Government's petty gains...

Then he'll probably have to be "cellmates" with that red-haired idiot for a while!

How could Kaido of the Beasts be willing to accept such a thing?

however.

The World Government's warning is indeed reasonable.

Kaido of the Beasts has also realized the perilous situation his pirate crew is currently facing.

The new navy's overall strength is no less than that of the "old navy" in Marineford.

Such a new navy, such a "just" new navy—

Their targets will definitely include the pirate emperors!

However, in Kaido's view...

Even if the new Navy really intends to launch a campaign to subjugate the pirate emperors.

Kaido of the Beasts has absolutely no need to panic.

Because he is currently in the "Wano Country"!

Wano Country is protected by natural barriers!

The navy fleet has no way to break through the outer waterfall of Wano Country and enter Wano Country's "inland sea".

Kaido of the Beasts is not worried at all about the new Navy launching a "Buster Call" against the Beasts Pirates.

He felt that the new Navy might actually target the Hundred-Bearded Pirates or the Storm Pirates first!

As for the Dawn Pirates, Kaido of the Beasts hadn't even considered it.

Because he doesn't know where the headquarters of the Dawn Pirates is.

Considering that Golden Lion Jr. in the Dawn Pirates...

The "headquarters" of the Dawn Pirates is very likely located in the sky above the New World.

From a certain perspective, it has a more "superior" geographical location than Wano Country.

therefore.

Kaido of the Beasts believes that even if the new Marines really have designs on the Pirate Emperor.

The new navy will also attack either the Whitebeard Pirates or the Storm Pirates first.

Compared to the strategies of world governments.

This means sending Kaido of the Beasts to challenge the new Marines all by himself.

What Kaido of the Beasts really wants to do is to unite with the other pirate emperors and discuss how to deal with the new Marines!

He simply couldn't believe that the old man with the superhuman strength, Whitebeard, and that bastard, White Dragon, wouldn't see the threat the new navy posed to them.

And to fight against a common enemy.

This is undoubtedly an excellent way to build closer relationships.

only.

White beard, white dragon—

Kaido of the Beasts took another swig of sake and then stood up, still kneeling.

Honestly.

Whether it's a white beard or a white dragon.

Kaido of the Beasts never gained any advantage over either of them.

The former has always been the "world's strongest man".

And the latter...

Even today, Kaido of the Beasts still cannot forget the scene of his miserable escape in Whole Cake Island.

Lingling, that old woman, that old woman with the "Iron Balloon" talent and invincible defensive abilities...

The "steel balloon" was actually destroyed head-on by the White Dragon!

Although White Dragon has not yet fought Whitebeard,

However, in Kaido's heart, he still believed that White Dragon's true strength was above Whitebeard's!

no doubt.

The White Dragon Emperor is the "First Emperor" of the New World!

So, should we contact the White Dragon Emperor to discuss how to counter the threat of the new navy?

Of course... no!

Kaido of the Beasts transformed into a blue dragon and flew directly out of the Beasts Castle, heading towards the outskirts of Wano Country.

Even if he dies, even if he dies outside, even if he jumps off the precipitous waterfall in Wano Country, he would never seek to cooperate with Haku!

Let's go talk to that strong old man with the white beard...

The Azure Dragon flew out of Wano Country and sped towards the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The New World, a certain sea area, the Moby Dick.

The Whitebeard Pirates also received today's news, which shocked the entire sea.

"A new navy? Gurarara—"

Whitebeard looked at the newspaper Marco was holding up with both hands, and at the image of the spirited, purple-haired old marine on the paper, and couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Zeff, that bastard, I originally thought he was more serious than Garp."

"I never expected this!"

"This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually left the Navy before Garp! He even formed his own new Navy!"

As remnants of the old era.

Whitebeard had encountered, and even fought fiercely with, most of the top experts on the sea.

Zefa was no exception.

Whitebeard believed he knew Zephyr's character very well.

He was a true, pure marine.

In Whitebeard's opinion, Zephyr was even more pure and righteous than those two bastards, Sengoku and Garp.

What he never expected was that this "pure" old man would be so pure that he couldn't accept the darkness of the Navy and chose to set up his own business in the New World.

And it seems he's even managed to win over two decent young men.

Aokiji, and this guy called "Fujitora" ————

Two great generals of the new era?

And this new navy officer even defeated that brat Shanks?

Thinking of this, Whitebeard couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

"Gurala la la—"

The white-bearded man's loud laughter seemed to possess a peculiar infectious quality.

The somber atmosphere on the Moby Dick, which had been heavy with the formation of the new navy, gradually dissipated amidst the laughter.

What good will the establishment of a new navy do?

My dad has a white beard!

In fact.

Whitebeard's inner state was not as relaxed and calm as he appeared.

As an incredibly experienced veteran pirate.

The white beard clearly demonstrates the significance and impact of the establishment of the new navy.

He himself didn't care about the threat from the new navy.

But those idiot sons in the Whitebeard Pirates are no good—

Also.

The image of his son, who had temporarily left, flashed through Whitebeard's mind.

Tichy—

Whitebeard, of course, had been keeping a close eye on Blackbeard Teach's actions.

He also knew that Blackbeard Teach had found some companions and formed his own "Blackbeard Pirates".

Whitebeard was extremely pleased with this.

He desperately wanted his son to have the ambition and courage to compare himself to others!

just.

The situation in the new world is constantly changing.

No one could have predicted the formation of the new navy.

Whitebeard could still offer protection to the sons aboard the Moby Dick.

But far away, on the horizon, lies Blackbeard Teach—

Whitebeard could only bury his worries deep in his heart.

He still believes in Blackbeard Teach's "fate," doesn't he?

"Sons, keep drinking and keep eating meat."

The white-bearded man waved his hand, signaling Marco to leave with the newspapers.

"Don't worry about anything—hmm?"

Just as the white-bearded man was about to say something, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

On the edge of the sky, a blue dragon is flying rapidly towards this side.

The earth-shattering roar of the dragon echoed from the sky all the way to the deck of the Moby Dick.

"Whitebeard, I'm here to talk business!"
