"Gather troops for me, and Lao Tzu will set foot on that little ghost's territory." Kaido picked up the mace beside him and said loudly: "This time, no matter who it is, don't try to stop Lao Tzu from taking off that little ghost's head." ”

"Okay!" Ember nodded, then turned to leave, ready to deliver Kaido's orders.

"Kaido-sama!" At this time, a younger brother suddenly rushed in and said to Kaido: "Kaido-sama, the Black Charcoal Orochi sent someone to deliver the news, saying that they had captured the son of Mitsuki Mita, and were going to execute that little ghost in the most cruel way in front of the people of Wano Country, and he sent someone to invite Kaido-sama to watch together." ”

"Huh? Mita's son? Hearing Mitsuki Mita's name, Kaido immediately felt a faint pain in the injury in his abdomen, and most of the wine woke up, and then laughed and said, "Mita's son has been arrested, that is, the prophecy that has been circulating for twenty years is finally coming to an end?" ”

"This kind of thing, how can it be without Lao Tzu." After saying that, Kaido directly transformed into a dragon, smashed the roof, and flew in the direction of Wano Country.

"Kaido-sama, what about the crusade against Fire Fist?" Ember took the form of a toothless pterodactyl and caught up with Kaido and asked.

"The matter of Yutian is the most important, the matter of crusading against that little ghost, I will talk about it when I come back!" Kaido said without looking back.

New World, the Whitebeard Pirates.

Today's Moby Dick ushered in a weighty guest, red-haired Shanks, who is also one of the Four Emperors.

Unlike the original plot, this time the redhead came to see Whitebeard without much fanfare, so of course the world government didn't know about the meeting between the two of them.

On the deck of the Moby Dick, only Whitebeard and Shanks were there at the moment.

"It's a surprise that you'd come to me in such a gesture, Shanks." Whitebeard looked at the man sitting cross-legged in front of him and said with some surprise.

The person who can become the Four Emperors, which one is not a strong man who is upright and domineering, this time Shanks will actually put down his body and use this way of sneaking in to see himself, even Whitebeard can't help but be a little surprised.

"Things have developed beyond my expectations, and the pattern of the world is about to change dramatically." Shanks raised his head, looked at Whitebeard, and said in a deep voice: "The war of Dressrosa and the exposure of Ace's identity will cause great chaos, and then the world government will crusade against him at all costs, you are Ace's ally, I know that you will definitely stand firmly on his side, even if it is a war with the world government." ”

"Kuha, you little ghost, you still know me quite well." Whitebeard laughed, then picked up the wine bottle beside him, took a sip, looked at Shanks, and said, "What, do you want to be involved too?" ”

"That's right." Shanks stood up, looked at Whitebeard without fear, and said in a deep voice: "I will join forces with you to save Ace's life from the hands of the World Government, but on the contrary, we must also ensure that Ace does not do unnecessary things during this period." ”

"Superfluous things?" Whitebeard looked at Shanks and asked lightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's all irrelevant." Shanks looked at Whitebeard and said, "The most important thing at the moment is not to let Ace fall into the hands of the World Government, and if we want to protect him, we must keep him under our eyes." ”

"Are you trying to restrict his freedom?" Whitebeard asked expressionlessly.

"No, I'm trying to protect him!" Shanks said seriously.

"Little ghost, you're not protecting him, you're insulting him." Whitebeard put down the bottle in his hand, looked at Shanks, and said, "On this sea, no one can restrict the freedom of a man, not even for any reason. ”

"I don't know why you say that, and it doesn't matter what your purpose is, if you do, then no matter what reason you have, there is no way to stop him from treating you as an enemy." Whitebeard said.

"......" Hearing Whitebeard's words, Shanks sat down in silence, then picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

Admiral, the office of the Buddha no Sengoku.

"Karp, this time the World Government is determined to crusade against Portcas. D. Ace, no one can stop it. Sengoku handed Karp a document in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The order personally issued by the Five Old Stars is for the Navy Headquarters to mobilize all its combat strength to capture Ace, even if it is a full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates." ”

"They won't, and can't let the people with Roger's blood continue to grow, and the world government can't afford to have a One Piece on this sea."

"I understand." Karp pushed away the document handed over by Sengoku and said with a lonely face: "From the moment he became a pirate, I knew that this kind of thing would happen, but I didn't expect that this day would come so early." ”

"You don't have to worry about me, you can do what you want, the old man won't interfere." Karp raised his head, looked at Sengoku, and said, "Of course, don't expect the old man to make a move. ”

"Of course, for the next few days, you can stay in my office and drink tea." Sengoku nodded, then took the papers and left the office.

After Sengoku left, Karp stood up, came to the window, and looked out at the sea, a sad look appeared on his old face.

New World, the base camp of the Revolutionary Army.

The commander of the Northern Army, Callas (Raven), came to the dragon with the booty he had brought back from Dressrosa.

After reporting the things he brought back to the dragon, Callas said with some excitement: "Chief, Sabo's decision to help Ace this time is really too correct, what we brought back from Dressrosa may save us years of time." ”

"Really? That's great. The dragon said with a blank face, and then asked, "Isn't there any news from Sabo and Kella?" ”

"Nope." Kalas shook his head, and then said: "But you don't have to worry, chief, Sabo now has the strength to compete head-on with the admiral, I saw with my own eyes that Sabo repelled the admiral yellow ape, and Acejun really gave Sabo a very powerful force."

"With Saab's current strength, there is no enemy on the sea that can threaten his safety." Kalas said.

"That's right, that's right." Lindbergh, the commander of the Confederate army, said: "Maybe Sabo and Kella-chan went on a date, so they forgot to contact us, I think we should not bother them for the time being." ”

"Is that so?" The dragon's expression didn't change, but he said lightly, "I hope so." ”
