Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 59 The storm is rising
Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

The five elders, the highest authority and leaders of the World Government, gathered in Pangaea City, some sitting and some standing, in a somber atmosphere.

Ahead of them, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had been summoned, also had a somber expression and remained silent.

They recently received crucial intelligence: the Four Emperors Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin of the Four Emperors have officially formed an alliance. Two months later, they will hold an alliance celebration in Charlotte Linlin's Whole Cake Island. They are inviting the kings of the underworld and the great pirates who are affiliated with them to participate, and are gradually announcing this news to the world!

This is a serious provocation against world governments and a prelude to further chaos at sea.

However, gathered here, they couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being. If it were easy to eliminate great pirates of the level of the Four Emperors, there would be no Four Emperors at sea long ago.

After a long silence, Satan Saint said in a low voice, "This is a dereliction of duty by the Navy, Sengoku. If you hadn't let Kaido of the Beasts go last time, this wouldn't have happened today. You missed an opportunity to bring peace to the seas!"

Sengoku remained silent. Indeed, the last time Kaido of the Beasts attacked the prison ship carrying Hanafza near Impel Down, it was something he, as a strategist, had already anticipated.

That's why all three admirals were stationed at Marine Headquarters, giving them the opportunity to launch a simultaneous attack to capture Kaido. But Sengoku didn't expect that even so, Kaido would still be able to escape.

He strongly suspected that, apart from Akainu, the other two hadn't tried their best, but he had no evidence.

Therefore, faced with Satan's accusations, he was unable to refute them for the time being and could only listen silently.

At this moment, the Environmental War God Maz Saint raised his hand, interrupting Satan Saint's words, and said, "Now that things have come to this, it is pointless to blame the Navy. We need to come up with a solution to this matter!"
According to CP0 intelligence, Kaido's alliance with Charlotte Linlin originated from Kaido acquiring Nico Robin, the "Devil Child"! We all know what this person represents, and both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were members of Rocks' crew. With this foundation for cooperation, an alliance was a natural progression!

“The key to breaking their alliance also lies with Nico Robin.” Nass Juro, the financial warrior, said while leaning on his sword, “The alliance celebration between Kaido and Charlotte Linlin is an opportunity. There will be many guests and all sorts of people there. We can send CP0 to assassinate Nico Robin.”

“But those two can’t possibly be unaware of this,” said Pit, the God of Agriculture and War. “In fact, holding the celebration in Wano Country instead of the more inaccessible Wano Country is both a provocation and an invitation to us, but we cannot refuse!”

“Yes,” Satan said. “The struggle surrounding Nico Robin is a contest between us and two of the Four Emperors. We must win. We cannot allow another Gol D. Roger, or rather, another Rocks, to be born in this era!”

They discussed the action plan in turn: "Sengoku, the Marine Headquarters must also cooperate. If CP0 fails, we cannot rule out the possibility that we will need to launch a full-scale attack. Have the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters ready to be deployed at any time!"

"Will war be necessary?" Sengoku said gravely, "Yes, I understand."

Just then, a CP0 member knocked on the door and said, "Five Elders, we have just received news that Red-Haired Shanks has entered the territory of Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and it seems that the two Yonko are about to make contact!"

The Five Elders' expressions darkened once again.

However, this is only to be expected. With two of the Four Emperors forming an alliance, how could the other two Four Emperors not react?
"Let's ignore them for now. We don't have enough manpower to deal with them. Besides, neither of those two are the type to form alliances."

……

A new world, a certain sea area.

The Red-Haired Red Voss was slowly sailing towards Whitebeard's massive Moby Dick. On the Moby Dick, Ace and Marco stood side by side on the ship's edge, gazing at the Red Voss.

Although he didn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, Ace's sea voyage was still largely the same as before.

As long as he harbors the unrealistic idea of ​​challenging Whitebeard, there is only one fate awaiting him—to become Whitebeard's son.

Today, Ace is known for his well-honed Armament Haki. The extraordinary talent he inherited from Roger allowed him to reach an Armament Haki level that even Marco dared not underestimate in just two years.

The position of captain of the second division, which had been vacant since Kozuki Oden, was given to Ace by Whitebeard because of his special status.

Six months earlier, before challenging Whitebeard, Ace, a super rookie, had just entered the New World and visited Shanks because of Luffy.

Upon seeing the redhead, Ace waved enthusiastically: "Redhead! Long time no see!"

Standing at the bow of the Red Fox, Shanks smiled brightly and said, "It's Ace. I heard you joined Whitebeard's crew, and I thought it was fake news. It's heartbreaking that you rejected my invitation and switched allegiance to Whitebeard."

"Hahaha," Ace laughed, "So, in that sense, we're enemies now!"

"Hey, with that enthusiastic look on your face, you don't seem like an adversary at all," Marco retorted, waving his hand behind him. "Young man, step back. That man is probably about to start."

"Are they adversaries? Yes, they are."

Sure enough, as the ship drew closer, Shanks' smile gradually faded, and the moment he stepped onto the lowered gangway of the Moby Dick, a solid, almost tangible sense of oppression was released.

Red-Haired Shanks possesses the strongest Conqueror's Haki of the present era, which can not only overwhelm opponents in terms of aura, but also cause substantial damage!
His every step was light, yet it made the massive Moby Dick tremble.

The ship's planks were cracked by the materialized Conqueror's Haki, and the weaker crew members on Whitebeard's ship collapsed with their eyes rolled back.

"I'm sorry, but since it's an enemy ship, we have to make some show of force when boarding." Red-haired man dragged a large jar of wine as he boarded the ship step by step, saying sorry, but his expression showed no remorse whatsoever.

Marco jumped onto the armrest, shook his head helplessly, and Ace also stopped smiling.

Sure enough, how could someone who could be ranked alongside his father as one of the Four Emperors be simple? He quickly dismissed his previous impression of Shanks's carefree and jovial demeanor.

At that moment, Shanks suddenly looked behind Ace, released his Conqueror's Haki, and said with a smile, "Oh my, isn't this Teach? It's been a long time since we last met."

Standing in the crowd behind Ace, Marshall Teach, a member of the Second Division and the future Blackbeard, still looked honest and simple. Facing the surprised looks around him, he scratched his head and laughed, "I didn't expect you to remember me, Shanks."

"Teach, do you know Shanks?" Ace turned around in surprise and asked Teach.

"Yes, Captain, we've met a few times."

“It’s not just a few times we’ve met,” Shanks denied. “You were there when I was an apprentice crew member on Captain Roger’s ship, which is about twenty years ago, right? Bucky and I fought you many times, and these three scars you gave me still ache to this day.”

Shanks was Roger's apprentice? Teach once injured Shanks, one of the Four Emperors? There's so much information here, even Ace was a bit stunned.

A shadow crossed Marshall Teach's eyes as he chuckled and said, "That was all in the past. Now you're a famous Yonko, while I'm just an ordinary crew member."

“Not when I was younger.” The redhead scratched his chin. “It was a few years ago…”

“Kura la la la…”

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from afar: "You little rascal on Roger's ship, how much longer are you going to chat with my sons?"

Redhead turned his head and looked at the figure sitting in the center of the ship, receiving an IV drip but still extremely strong.

"Sorry, Whitebeard, seeing some familiar faces got me a little carried away with our conversation, and I forgot about the important matter." He turned and walked away, saying, "Let's get straight to the point. What do you think about Kaido and the Big Mom Pirates joining forces?"

The two Yonko began to talk, but the attention on Marshall Teach did not diminish at all. Ace and the others surrounded him, asking him about his glorious past of injuring Shanks. The honest and invisible man had suddenly become a powerful veteran.

Marshall Teach was very distressed.

[Hit Value +31699]

[Hit Value +17543]

[Hit Value +12466]

Guan Yi learned from Xia Qi about the alliance between Kaido and Big Mom, and knew that one of the three major income streams should have come from it. As for the other two... he didn't know, but they were definitely related to this matter.

On the vast sea, the winds and clouds are surging.

So, does this mean... if I had a Robin, I could shake up the entire pirate world?

I've been sparring with Rayleigh for two months now, and I haven't done anything, yet my life points are increasing like crazy!

[Wealth: 173 million Berry]

[Life Points: 118969]

He thought he would have to go to Wano Country to accumulate enough life points for his tenth sparring match, but he didn't expect that this would be enough!

And there's no need to go to Wano Country anymore.

"Whole Cake Island in a month and a half?"

"Master Rayleigh, I've rested enough!" He stood up and called out, ignoring the still-bleeding sword wound.

At the same time, activate the tenth practical sparring session!
