Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 374 "Become a godfather to the Whitebeard" OR "Join the White Dragon Emperor"?

Whitebeard and the Beasts ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

For Whitebeard, all he needed to do was protect his family.

Are the new Marines capable of breaking through his "defense" and harming the other members of the Hundred-Bearded Pirates?

Whitebeard was absolutely confident that the new navy could never do it!

This is the spirit of the "world's strongest man"!

not to mention.

Teaming up with other pirates is also out of character for Whitebeard.

It might sound a little strange.

This "world's strongest man" is actually not an "ambitious man".

Whitebeard's "dream," from the moment he set sail until today, has remained the same.

That is "family".

If Whitebeard is really interested in things like "rule".

Rocks, Roger, and even the Golden Lion who later escaped from Impel Down—weren't they all excellent partners?

It's worth noting that when Shiki the Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down, he immediately went to the New World to find Whitebeard and try to form an alliance with him.

According to Shiki the Golden Lion, he wanted to give this "warm new era" a touch of "old-world shock".

Whitebeard had no idea what Shiki the Golden Lion was up to.

He had no idea that after being rejected by him, Shiki the Golden Lion went off to become some kind of "Pokémon Trainer (lol)".

In any case, Whitebeard directly rejected Shiki the Golden Lion's suggestion to form an alliance.

Just like how he ruthlessly rejected Kaido's suggestion to join forces.

As for the white-bearded man's refusal.

Kaido of the Beasts was very dissatisfied, but he didn't have any other options.

He couldn't very well force Whitebeard to agree to his "alliance proposal," could he?

Moreover, he simply didn't possess the extraordinary strength to forcefully suppress the white-bearded man!

Kaido of the Beasts drank the wine that Marco had just brought him in one gulp, and then stood up abruptly.

At that moment, another "method of alliance" that he had never imagined before appeared in his mind.

Perhaps, maybe, it seems—there is an effortless way to get Whitebeard to join forces with him…

That means Yi-Yi and Whitebeard will become "family"!

simply put.

It's simply a matter of "recognizing someone as one's father"!

Whitebeard is a notorious pirate who loves taking in sons.

As is well known, Whitebeard was very loyal to each of his sons and would never allow anyone to harm them.

and so.

Theoretically speaking.

If Kaido of the Beasts recognizes Whitebeard as his "godfather," then he can naturally obtain Whitebeard's protection (crossed out) - that is, form a close alliance with the Whitebeard Pirates.

But which is more shameful, "recognizing the Whitebeard as one's godfather" or "contacting the White Dragon King"?

Kaido of the Beasts pondered for a moment.

I still think the former is more embarrassing...

Honestly.

Kaido of the Beasts always thought Whitebeard was a very strange old man.

This old fellow is even stranger than that old woman Lingling...

Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are rare examples of "playing house" pirate crews on the high seas.

However, almost all of the "elite warriors" of the Big Mom Pirates were born to Charlotte Linlin herself, and they are a family with a real blood connection.

But what about Whitebeard?

That old man with the white beard only knows how to take in godsons!

This old man clearly doesn't even have a wife, yet he has so many sons...

Think back to Kaido of the Beasts. Although he also has a "son," it's a fake!

I can't think about it anymore ———.

Kaido of the Beasts felt a headache coming on whenever he thought of his "big oaf".

"Old man!"

Kaido of the Beasts shook his head, making one last attempt.

"As long as we join forces, we can definitely..."

"Get lost, brat!"

Whitebeard interrupted the other person and raised his Supreme Grade Sword, Murakumogiri, once again.

"What's this 'new navy' thing? I'm Whitebeard, for goodness' sake!"

Amidst the whitebeard's angry shouts.

Kaido of the Beasts transformed into a blue dragon and flew directly out of the Moby Dick.

His negotiations with the Whitebeard Pirates have completely broken down.

So, I guess I still have to go find that monster, the White Dragon Emperor?

Kaido of the Beasts flew above the skies of the New World, only to feel a sudden headache.

After rounds of trials and tribulations, the original power structure of pirate forces in the New World has been completely altered.

Before last year, there were only three pirate emperors in the New World: Beast, Big Mom, and Whitebeard.

In the past year alone, three pirate emperors have risen in the New World: Shanks, Red Dragon Emperor, and White Dragon Emperor.

Today, both the Big Mom Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates have essentially become history.

There are still only four Emperor Pirate Crews in the New World.

The Beasts Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates.

Storm Pirates.

Dawn Pirates.

Kaido of the Beasts wants to find allies to join forces against the new Marines.

Then we can only search among the pirate emperors.

The remaining, lower-level pirate forces were simply unable to share the burden for Kaido of the Beasts.

nowadays.

Whitebeard sternly rejected Kaido of the Beasts' invitation to join forces.

At this point, Kaido of the Beasts only had two choices: the Red Dragon Emperor of the Dawn Pirates!

The White Dragon Emperor of the Storm Pirates!

Honestly.

If Kaido of the Beasts can find the Red Dragon Emperor.

Then he would absolutely never think of going to find the White Dragon Emperor!

but.

Just like a world government.

Kaido of the Beasts still doesn't know where the Red Dragon Emperor's headquarters is.

Even now, Kaido of the Beasts has never seen the Red Dragon Emperor in person.

A pirate emperor I've never seen before, and whose whereabouts I have no idea.

How can Kaido of the Beasts form an alliance with them?

So it's not that Kaido of the Beasts wanted to choose the White Dragon Emperor, but rather that he had no choice but to choose the White Dragon Emperor.

Although there was indeed a rift between him and the White Dragon Emperor.

But what's that old saying again?

They became friends after a fight!

Although Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin have been good friends for many years.

He still owed that old woman a huge favor.

And the White Dragon Emperor was the culprit who killed Big Mom.

But so what?

The living can't give way to the dead, can they?

This is nothing like One Piece!

And if you think about it carefully...

Kaido of the Beasts believed that there was actually no serious conflict of interest between him and the White Dragon Emperor.

in contrast.

Kaido of the Beasts has only fought the White Dragon Emperor twice.

The only problem is that the outcome of these fights has always been ugly.

If we set aside past failures...

Kaido of the Beasts still highly regards the White Dragon Emperor.

How should I put it?

The White Dragon Emperor is the man who defeated Kaido of the Beasts!

Kaido of the Beasts thought about it more and more and realized that this made sense.

The moment the thought of casting a dragon arises, one instantly feels the vastness of heaven and earth.

Kaido of the Beasts felt that he had resolved his inner conflict, so he immediately increased his speed and flew at lightning speed towards the sea area where Whole Cake Island was located.

He didn't know where the Crimson Dragon Emperor was.

Don't you know where Charlotte Linlin, that old hag, is hiding?!

After a long journey.

Kaido of the Beasts finally flew to Whole Cake Island.

The aura of this phantom beast, the Azure Dragon, was naturally detected by Storm's Observation Haki immediately.

"That Kaido of the Beasts actually dares to come to my territory?"

The moment Storm sensed Kaido's presence, he was completely bewildered.

During this period, he has been focusing his efforts on dealing with the conflict between the new navy and the World Government.

After discussing with Zephyr, Kizaru, and the others how to deal with the supreme commander of the Knights of God.

Storm then left New Marineford and returned to his loyal Tottoland.

He had originally intended to patiently wait for Figarand Greenemon to arrive at the Kingdom of Worlds, but he never expected this.

Storm didn't get the "Celestial Dragon," but he got a "Azure Dragon" instead!

Clay falls from the sky!

Storm's Observation Haki locked onto Kaido's location, and he himself traversed space, instantly arriving in front of the phantom beast, the Azure Dragon.

"Kaido of the Beasts!"

Upon seeing Kaido of the Beasts, Storm didn't hesitate at all and simply unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

Black and red arcs of electricity shot out, locking onto the majestic mythical beast Azure Dragon from a great distance.

The black and red arcs of electricity, imbued with an astonishing sense of oppression, transformed into a vast net that completely enveloped Kaido of the Beasts, while simultaneously suppressing his Devil Fruit abilities.

Kaido of the Beasts immediately felt a heavy pressure on his heart.

What shocked him even more was that the power of his prized Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon Fruit seemed to be affected at this moment.

That enormous, mythical beast, the Azure Dragon, seemed to have flown out of mythology.

Under the forced lock of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki], it shrank rapidly at a visible speed until it completely transformed into a human form.

"White Dragon Emperor!"

Ignoring the intense pressure emanating from him, Kaido of the Beasts hurriedly shouted.

"I'm here to negotiate with you!"

"What?!"

Storm tilted his head as he looked at Kaido of the Beasts, who was spouting nonsense, and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

By the way, isn't Wano Country full of idiots?

Or did his previous actions damage Kaido's brain?

"What are you trying to say?"

Seeing that the White Dragon Emperor did not immediately launch a major attack, Kaido of the Beasts breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that the moment they met, the other party would unleash a powerful punch...

He couldn't handle that!

"I mean—"

Kaido of the Beasts quickly spoke up.

"You should know about the new navy, right?"

"A new navy?"

Storm stared blankly at Kaido of the Beasts.

This guy...does he know something?

"continue."

Seeing the White Dragon Emperor's "ugly expression," Kaido felt much less pressure and directly stated his purpose.

"With the new navy established, those marines' target will definitely be us pirate emperors!"

"White Dragon Emperor, if we join forces, we can definitely fight against the new Navy, and even dominate the entire New World!"
