In the New World, in an unknown sea area, inside Hachinosu Island, as the lair of the former great pirate overlord Rocks, after the God Valley Incident, along with Rocks being killed by Garp and Roger together, the once glorious Rocks Pirates completely collapsed.
The subsequent split family, Whitebeard, who was known as the strongest man on the sea, became the master of Hachinosu Island.
The huge Moby Dick was parked on the coast.
A figure, which was like an iron tower, stood on the bow deck and looked down at the two people who were exchanging blows below.
"Dad, there's a big incident happening. Do we need to tell Ace?" Marco came hurriedly from inside the cabin with a Den Den Mushi.
The group of captains, who were scattered around, drinking and sleeping, reacted and looked at Marco in surprise.
As the commander of the First Division and the strongest person on the ship after Whitebeard, they rarely saw Marco show this kind of anxiety.
"Marco, big brother, what's happening that I can't be told?" Ace's voice suddenly rang out.
Soon, they saw a vortex of blazing flames detonate on the coast.
After turning into flames that soared into the sky, Ace's figure shot out from it and finally landed on the ship's deck.
Rayleigh, who had originally been sparring with him, helplessly stuck the iron rod into the ground, took out a wine pot, and poured a mouthful into his mouth before flashing onto the ship.
Rayleigh was a bit helpless about Ace's slacking off halfway, but he also wanted to know what exactly had happened that made the dignified Whitebeard Pirates' First Division Commander Marco show this anxious expression.
Feeling the gazes that were landing on him from all around, Marco subconsciously looked at Whitebeard.
"Just say what you have to say. We're all family!" Whitebeard said with a slightly displeased look.
In his eyes, apart from Rayleigh, everyone in the field was his adopted son.
If there were any secrets, it would add a barrier to this family.
Watching this scene, Marco sighed helplessly and said, "I just received urgent intelligence that Kaido of the Beasts, that madman, has appeared in the Forsa Sea."
"I remember that the Forsa Sea is in the first half of the Grand Line. Why would that madman run to that kind of godforsaken place? Is he planning to commit suicide again?" Whitebeard frowned and revealed a trace of confusion.
"If this is what you call urgent intelligence, Marco, I'm a bit unhappy."
"Dad, this matter isn't as simple as you think." Marco explained hastily, "A month and a half ago, that kid called Laxus in the Marine defeated Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters, on the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Not only did Kaido of the Beasts personally take action to rescue him, but he's also met with the Marine kid on the island where Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk is in the Forsa Sea right now."
As these words fell, the people present were stunned first, and a trace of disbelief appeared on their faces.
Even Rayleigh was no exception.
"Marco, are you saying that Kaido of the Beasts personally went to find trouble with a junior? Isn't this throwing away the face of the Four Emperors?" Whitebeard's expression sank, and he said sternly.
As one of the Four Emperors and having lived for so many years, in Whitebeard's eyes, nothing was more important than fame.
If it wasn't because of his sense of honor, in the original work, Shanks had persuaded him three times and had even personally boarded the ship and met with Whitebeard.
The matter of stopping Ace from chasing Blackbeard alone wouldn't have been sternly rejected by Whitebeard.
Right now, Whitebeard, who was the head of the Four Emperors, undoubtedly felt ashamed for Kaido's actions.
The most important thing was that Kaido of the Beasts had personally taken action and destroyed the stepping stone that he had chosen for Ace.
He didn't want to see this happen.
"What's the Marine's reaction?" Whitebeard asked in a deep voice, "That kid has the strength to defeat Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters. Once he truly joins the Marine Headquarters, he will definitely be able to shine. It's not impossible for him to become an admiral."
"With Sengoku's personality, he will definitely not let that guy be recruited or killed by Kaido of the Beasts."
"Right now, Kaido doesn't hesitate to personally take action from thousands of miles away. If Sengoku insists on protecting that kid, it will probably trigger an all-out war." Rayleigh couldn't hold back.
He had never expected that after they had separated on the Sabaody Archipelago, Kai's ability to cause trouble had actually improved to this point.
"Rayleigh is right. Kaido, that madman, isn't someone who will suffer a loss. Don't forget that there's Oden's Wano Country standing behind him and that bastard Orochi. The main force under their command adds up to 60,000." Whitebeard echoed in a deep voice.
"There are also those affiliated pirate groups. When you add them up, their force is more than all four of us. It's probably reached 150,000!"
As one of the Four Emperors, the threshold for joining Kaido's command was very low.
As long as they were Zoan-type Devil Fruit users or were willing to try to take artificial Devil Fruits, they could get Kaido's protection.
Moreover, among the Four Emperors, the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates' style of doing things was completely unreasonable looting and killing.
On the contrary, it attracted a lot of extremely vicious pirates to attach themselves.
"Just now, when I obtained the intelligence, I also contacted my contacts in the Marine." Marco explained urgently, "Half a day ago, Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku held a supreme meeting to decide whether to use the full force of the Marine Headquarters to protect Laxus."
"He even confronted Admiral Akainu. In the end, Chief of Staff Tsuru, in order to quell the dispute, handed the decision-making power over to Laxus."
"The answer that kid gave was to solve it alone!"
What? The expressions of the people present changed drastically at once.
Even Whitebeard was moved by it.
In their eyes, the Four Emperors were existences that were equivalent to their old man, Whitebeard.
Right now, Laxus, who was known as the Marine supernova, had actually given such a crazy answer. Did he really have a way to solve it, or was he just foolishly seeking death?
"Marco, big brother, what was the result?" Ace couldn't hold back first.
Not long ago, he had lost the Skeletal Great Demon, this stepping stone.
If even the new target right now was as crazy as the Skeletal Great Demon and was an existence that was known as the New Fifth Emperor, how would he compare?
"Ace, don't worry. Right now, that guy, Big News Morgans, is broadcasting it. It seems that Kaido has just met with that kid. It's still unknown what stage the matter will develop to." Marco took out a Den Den Mushi with a backhand.
Watching this scene, Ace didn't have time to think too much. He hurriedly reached out and snatched it away and turned on the Den Den Mushi's projection.
The sound of the radio waves ringing and the picture, which had been constructed through the equipment on the ship, instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the ship.
Compared to Whitebeard and the others' ignorance, Rayleigh also had a face full of confusion.
He was one of the people who clearly knew Laxus's true identity.
However, according to his deduction, Kai shouldn't reveal his identity at this time.
He had refused the Marine's support, so how would he escape from under Kaido's nose next?
