BOOM!
Yet another crimson Conqueror's Haki burst from Linlin's towering figure, shattering the very air!
Like a chain reaction triggered by Caesar's outburst, one astonishing Conqueror's Haki after another erupted like bamboo shoots after rain, layer upon layer sweeping across the seas and skies beyond the two ships!
Caesar, Kaido, Linlin, Katakuri, Yamato—even Doflamingo aboard the marine vessel—all involuntarily released surges of their Conqueror's Haki!
For miles around, the bright daylight turned pitch black.
Thick, ink-like clouds blotted out the sky, plunging the sea into darkness.
The ocean surface sank dozens of ters as millions of tons of water were drawn upward like dragon's breath, forming hundreds of massive waterspouts.
*****
Over ten miles away, Blackbeard's crew gaped in shock at this terrifying spectacle.
"Zehahaha! What a horrifying sight! It's like reliving Rocks' glorious days, Zehahaha!" Blackbeard's eyes glead with desire, eager to recruit the mbers of the Beast God Pirates under his command.
He glanced at the people around him and sighed inwardly.
The world referred to several of his crew's officers as the Captains.
But look at the Beast God Pirates over there—whether it's their stature, aura, or strength, they truly live up to the title of pirate captains!
Blackbeard used to think the n he recruited were quite exceptional.
But now, compared to the mbers of the Beast God Pirates, Blackbeard suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Aside from Shiryu, it seed there wasn't a single other overwhelmingly strong crewmate on his ship.
"If I could recruit Caesar and the others under my banner, I could probably dominate the New World imdiately. That bastard Aokiji actually went and joined the Beast God Pirates—what a traitor! Speaking of which, where are Zephyr, Rayleigh and the Pirate Empress?"
*****
On the warship, the hot-tempered Akainu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat—not out of fear, but because the overwhelming pressure from Caesar and the others was largely directed at him, the Fleet Admiral!
"Damn bastards! Why are you all targeting ? Ugh!"
Akainu clenched his black-gloved fists, smoke rising from them, itching to unleash a teor Volcano and blast Caesar's ship to pieces.
But he still couldn't bring himself to act.
Now wasn't the ti for an all-out battle.
Moreover, the strength of the Beast God Pirates far exceeded Akainu's expectations—it was absurdly overpower.
Just as Akainu's face turned livid, struggling against the oppressive aura from Caesar, Kaido, and Linlin, Katakuri strode past, stepping right over Akainu's head…
"You bastard!"
Akainu's face flushed crimson with rage.
Unable to hold back any longer, his body erupted with searing magma, his right arm swelling with molten lava as he prepared to unleash his ultimate attack.
"Stand down, Sakazuki!" Kong, who had remained silent until now, suddenly roared, stopping the enraged Akainu in his tracks.
Akainu gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered, his face twisted in fury, chest heaving violently.
It took him a long while to suppress the fire in his heart.
"Borororo! Marines, no need to rush into battle. Go back and prepare yourselves first! There will inevitably be a war in the future. You claim to represent justice, while we pirates are evil. But in the end, only one—justice or evil—will remain in this world! Borororo! Set sail!"
Caesar laughed maniacally, his voice shaking the world, carrying over ten miles away—even the Blackbeard Pirates, stationed miles off, heard his domineering words.
Blackbeard's crewmates, including Pizarro, felt an inexplicable shock.
As pirates, they dared to outright tell the Marines to go back and prepare before fighting!
What kind of audacity was this?
It was nothing short of the imperial deanor of a ruler reigning supre over the seas!
"Fufufufu, what is justice? What is evil? Only the victors are justice! Caesar-sama, you're absolutely right!" Doflamingo cackled, the first to leap into the air, following Katakuri onto Caesar's ship.
"So you're Joker? Good! I need you to manage the arms trade in the underworld and the black-market operations of Totto Land. My little brother says you're an expert in this field. If you perform well enough, even if your strength isn't up to par, you can still earn the title of a god—standing shoulder-to-shoulder with , Caesar!"
Caesar looked down at Doflamingo, a wild, unrestrained grin spreading across his face.
Doflamingo's stiff smile finally relaxed into a genuine, happy grin.
Unable to contain himself, he spread his arms in his old flamboyant manner and let out his signature laugh.
"Fufufufu! It would be my pleasure to serve you Caesar!"
On the warship, Akainu and Kong's faces darkened with fury.
Caesar and his group were openly discussing such audacious topics right before their eyes, completely disregarding these leaders of justice.
"Get lost! All of you, scram! You worthless scum of the sea, you parasites!" Akainu roared, glaring viciously at the officers of Germa and the Donquixote Family, itching to vent his anger by punching a few of these small fries to death.
Once everyone had disembarked from the warship, Akainu stord straight into the ship's cabin without a backward glance.
He couldn't stand staying on deck any longer—the frustration of being powerless to act made him feel utterly useless as the Fleet Admiral.
"Set sail! Now! We still have to deal with the Aramaki incident!" Akainu's furious bellows continued to echo from the cabin.
His foul mood was understandable.
That very morning, his office had received another call from the Revolutionary Army, informing him that Admiral Ryokugyu was in their custody.
To secure his release, the Marines would have to return not only Tyrant Kuma and Jewelry Bonney but also several other captured Revolutionary Army mbers.
This left the Marine higher-ups scrambling, unsure how to proceed.
"Damn that Caesar! I'd rather have Aramaki fallen into his hands. I'd prefer dealing with pirates over negotiating with that traitor Dragon. That old bastard Garp—what kind of worthless son did you raise? Tch..." Akainu grumbled inwardly, occasionally shooting sidelong glances at Garp in the cabin.
Garp sat silently beside the ice coffin, staring blankly at the remains inside, lost in mories.
At his feet lay a strange, spirally patterned fruit...
*****
On the Queen Mama Chanter, Judge and the others trembled nervously under the intimidating presence of the powerful figures before them—especially Caesar, Kaido, and Linlin.
"Mamamama! Judge, we et again. This ti, you won't be running away. Stay in Totto Land and help create those Giant warriors," Linlin teased, her eyes gleaming with amusent.
Judge stared at Linlin in shock, bewildered by the Yonko's sudden transformation.
She looked decades younger, her once massive and bloated figure now slim and beautiful, as if she'd reverted to her twenties.
"To Totto Land! Let's throw a banquet! To welco our new mbers—and to hold a new wedding for Pudding!" Caesar raised his arms and cheered.
The massive ship erupted with deafening cheers.
Linlin laughed joyfully.
"Mamamama! Caesar, why not host a Tea Party? It'll be so lively!"
