Somewhere at sea, near the waters of Wano, The Beast Pirates flagship slowly sailed.
"Oi, Kaido-san!" Queen called out to his captain, "Have you read the paper? They're crediting that brat! They say The Dragon Knight sunk the Navy Warship and forced the marines to retreat!!"
Kaido sat on the deck of his ship, chugging down sake from his gourd.
"Bah!!" He said, "To hell with them!"
King, who stood next to him, spoke up, "Maybe Morgans doesn't want to say that The Dragon Knight's ship was in flames when we were approaching." He said
"That fucking bird only wants to add fuel to the fire being caused by that upstart brat." Kaido grumbled, "And maybe the Government doesn't want to let the world know that we arrived and scared them all away."
Kaido leaned forward and rubbed his head as Queen walked up.
"Oi, Kaido-san, why the hell did we let Starrk leave?" He asked, "We could've killed that shithead once and for all! Or at least forced him to join us!"
"Queen, you fool." King said, "Kaido-san was honoring an agreement they had made. Remember the trade they performed a year ago?"
"Oh, the Devil Fruits he gave us?" Queen said, "Oh for crying out loud, he willingly gave them away! I would've just blasted a hole in him and be done with it!"
"I decided to let him go both times, Queen." Kaido said, "An agreement is an agreement. Don't question my decisions."
"If you say so." Queen scowled
"Besides." Kaido continued, "Don't you worry, my friend."
King and Queen both looked at him as Kaido took a chug from his gourd. He then wiped his mouth and gave them a smirk.
"Soon, we'll force The Black Wolf into our ranks!" He said
****************************************************************
In the New World, on Whole Cake Island, the skies were darkened and filled with crackling lightning. Inside the castle of the Emperor ruling Tot-Land, many of the members of Big Mom's crew were scurrying about in fear.
"THAT DAMNED PIECE OF SHIT BRAT!!!!!!!!!!" an enraged Big Mom bellowed as she sat on her throne, "HOW DARE HE STEAL MY TREASURE AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!!"
Her top officers were in the room with her, including Snack, Smoothie, Oven, and Daifuku. Perospero and Katakuri were still at sea returning from the voyage.
All of them were sweating a bit, they knew very well that their mother was in a foul mood.
Big Mom looked at them as veins popped out of her forehead, "You lot!!!" she shouted, "Why haven't you brought me the head of The Dragon Knight?!?! Answer me!!!"
Oven walked up slowly, "Mama, the thing is, that son of a bitch is good at running away." He said nervously, "He has a devil fruit user with a fog ability that hinders our sailing and his weaponry is advanced!"
Big Mom scowled, "And what kind of excuse is that?!" She growled, "Do you have any idea what kind of humiliation he is causing me?! DO YOU?!"
"I am sorry, Mama!" Oven replied, "But this brat is no joke! It will be hard to get him with only two ships! Especially at sea!"
"What are you saying, Oven?" Big Mom leaned back as she scowled
"We have to manage to get him somewhere at land. That way, he'll be cut off from his ship which holds his entire weaponry." Oven stated, "Even if he has his crew, and no matter how strong they think they are, they'll stand no chance against us!"
Big Mom gave him a serious look, "And who will take charge of taking him on?" She said
Before Oven answered, Smoothie spoke up.
"Oven's idea isn't terrible, Mama." She said as he walked up to her, "If we can lure him to land and separate him from his ship, we can destroy his ship and capture him. From there, we bring him to you and you can enact your vengeance."
Big Mom looked at her and put a hand on her chin. As she did this, Zeus and Prometheus appeared from behind her and floated by her face.
"Not a bad idea, Mama!" Prometheus stated, "Smoothie is definitely right, so long as we separate that bastard from his ship, he will be vulnerable!"
"Yes, Mama!" Zeus said, "Send Smoothie to take care of them!"
"Did you get all that..." Big Mom looked at the transponder snail on a table next to her, "Katakuri, Perospero?"
"Perorin!!" Perospero's voice could be heard, "Brilliant idea, Smoothie!!"
"Hey!" Oven exclaimed, "I came up with it!"
"Quiet down, Oven!" Daifuku said, "Just take it!"
Oven scowled as he backed up a bit.
"What's your take on this, Katakuri?" Big Mom asked
"It is doable." Katakuri's voice was heard, "If we repair Brother Perospero's ship in time to meet with Snack and Smoothie, we can figure out a plan to go and get The Dragon Knight."
"What about us, Katakuri?!" Daifuku shouted, "We don't plan on sitting around doing nothing!"
"Worry not, brother." Katakuri said, "You and Oven can deal with another thing."
Big Mom raised her eyebrow, "So you think it's time?" She asked him, "About time you agreed on it. I decided not to go through with it because I was prioritizing that shithead first. But if you and your siblings can decide on a plan, then we can multi-task...After all, our little poneglyphs won't read themselves."
"Capture Nico Robin and bring her to me!!"
