Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 74 The Four Emperors Alliance: War Begins Immediately!
Naval warships on the outskirts of the World War II sea area.

All the naval officers gathered together.

Besides Kizaru and Tsuru, there are also Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals Onigumo, Kasakatsuyama, and Strawberry, as well as six Marine Rear Admirals. Apart from the number of warships, the lineup is even more impressive than that of Buster Call.

But at this moment, these top naval leaders all had solemn expressions and were holding a meeting.

"CP0 has not sent any news yet, and Worldwide has not made any move either."

"Looks like it's a failure."

"Has Admiral Aokiji arrived?"

"Are we really going to launch a direct attack on two Yonko? Isn't this all-out war?"

"The power to control this matter does not lie with us, or even with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but with the World Government and the Five Elders."

The oppressive atmosphere made Fire Mountain want to light a cigarette, but after glancing at Vice Admiral Tsuru, he changed his mind. Even if Aokiji arrived, with two Marine Admirals leading the team, wouldn't it be a bit too much to break into the territory of a Yonko and capture Nico Robin?
Just then, the communications soldier knocked on the door and reported, "The video Den Den Mushi has a signal!"

Crane quickly replied, "Projection."

Soon, the video Den Den Mushi placed on the table projected an image onto the screen directly in front of it.

The video is a bit choppy and skewed, but what it shows is exactly what's inside the Cake Castle!
The navy knew that this footage was taken at great risk by the World Government's most deeply entrenched intelligence agents who had infiltrated the banquet venue, and that the footage would be simultaneously transmitted to the Five Elders of the World Government.

They ignored the castle, decorated like a garden, and the appetizers already served, focusing only on the guests attending the banquet.

“Bryce, Shyven Jacques…”

At a glance, they recognized several notorious pirates in the New World, with bounties ranging from 300 million to 800 million, making them the top pirates outside of the Four Emperors' crews.

'As expected, the alliance of the Four Emperors holds immense appeal for these powerful pirates. The World Government's concerns are not unfounded; one wrong move could lead to the creation of another Rocks Pirates.'

Crane murmured to herself, her gaze searching for the others. Where was Flame Tiger Ian? Not here? Did he leave Whole Cake Island after his battle with Kaido?

The image was a bit shaky, and the Den Den Mushi was probably hidden in someone's sleeve, but it still slowly restored the entire scene to the group of marines.

The Beasts Pirates, led by King the Wildfire and Jack the Drought, took their seats at the head of the table, and Big Mom's children gradually entered the venue. The start time of the banquet was clearly drawing ever closer.

Just then, the video Den Den Mushi vibrated violently and was aimed at the gate of the Cake Castle.

The main character is about to make his appearance.

Sure enough, Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin's monstrous figures gradually emerged from the shadows.

But what froze the expressions of the naval officers was something else entirely—there was another person standing alongside the two Yonko!
……

Bang! !

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

The Five Elders, Saint Satan, slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "Flame Tiger Ian?! I knew it, this kind of guy wouldn't stay quiet!"

In the projected image, the three people are walking side by side.

Walking in the very center was Charlotte Linlin, the Yonko and mistress of Whole Cake Island. To her right stood the imposing figure of Kaido of the Beasts.

To her left, Guan Yi strode along.

He wore a white, open-fronted robe with a gradient pattern from dark red to orange-yellow. The robe was open, revealing a black, fitted outfit underneath that clung to his body, highlighting his well-defined muscles. He wore loose-fitting trousers that gradient from dark gray to bright orange, with asymmetrical flame-shaped legs.

Standing alongside two Yonko who are seven or eight meters tall, his imposing presence is impossible to ignore, and he is in no way inferior to the two Yonko!
Nothing conveys one's intentions better than traveling with two Yonko in this setting. The other four Five Elders and Fleet Admiral Sengoku all looked rather grim. With the addition of a top-tier powerhouse like Ian the Flame Tiger, the fighting strength of this pirate alliance is truly approaching that of the Rocks Pirates!
At this point, they were unaware that this was only the prelude to today's events.

……

At the banquet venue, apart from the members of the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates who already knew that Guan Yi had joined, all the guests were speechless when they saw that the main characters of the Four Emperors Alliance Celebration had changed from two to three.

It wasn't until the three of them reached the center of the venue that Morgans suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "Big news! This is super big news!" He made no attempt to hide taking pictures of Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped electric detectors), and no one stopped him.

The venue became noisy.

"That's Ian, the nemesis of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right? What's he doing here?"

"Idiot, isn't it obvious enough?!"

"Hahaha, yet another renowned powerhouse of the seas has joined the alliance of the Four Emperors? Is this sea truly about to be reshuffled and reorganized?!"

"With such a powerful lineup, it seems the vacant Pirate King throne will soon be reclaimed! Hehehehehe..."

Standing in the center of the venue, Kaido glanced at Guan Yi with displeasure: "Kid, you're stealing the spotlight from me and Linlin."

"It's normal; the unexpected is more eye-catching."

Guan Yi smiled and said, "I'm not speaking today, so you can steal the spotlight."

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh... Quiet!"

Kaido's loud laughter and roar, carrying a hint of Conqueror's Haki, instantly silenced the hall, leaving only Kaido's voice.

"Since you have come to this banquet, you should already know that my Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates are going to form a pirate alliance to search for the One Piece that Roger spoke of!"
First, let me introduce someone to you. After the pirate alliance is formed, Linlin and I will both serve as captains of the united pirate crew, and Flame Tiger Ian will serve as our first mate!

This was something everyone had anticipated the moment they saw Guan Yi appear. Therefore, Kaido's formal announcement only caused a slight stir before calming down. But what Big Mom announced next shocked everyone.

The middle-aged woman, dressed in her finest attire, had a strangely unsmiling face. She maintained only a minimal amount of enthusiasm as she said, "Everyone who has come to Whole Cake Island is a friend who has received our invitation. Anyone who wishes can become a member of the Pirate Alliance."

There's one more thing I need to tell you all: we've already obtained three coordinates for the route to Laugh Tale, and we're only missing the last Road Poneglyph! Whoever can provide a clue to the Poneglyph will forever be our best friend in the pirate alliance! Mama mama…”

Among the guests, some did not know the historical text of the road sign, but others who knew its purpose were all greatly surprised.

Three pieces? How could it be three pieces?!
Separated by the sea, the Five Elders and the naval commanders were also taken aback, as their intelligence clearly indicated that each of the two Emperors possessed a piece.

When did they get the third piece? Doesn't this mean Kaido and Big Mom are only one step away from Laugh Tale?!
No, we absolutely cannot let this go!
"besides."

The next moment, the middle-aged woman in the video turned sinister and said, "I regret to inform you that our banquet will be delayed by about an hour. The three of us have something to do first!"

This was the reason she was unhappy, but Kaido laughed and chimed in, "The Navy bastards are the biggest obstacle to our pirate alliance. Right now, our banquet is being broadcast by World Government intelligence agents and watched by a bunch of Navy bastards!"

"Huh?!" On the warship, Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! Could it be that they..."

"The New World is a pirate's paradise! It's not a place for the Marines!" Kaido and Big Mom say in unison in the scene: "Let the destruction of a Marine fleet be a celebration of our alliance!"

The guests were in an uproar.

"Yes, this is a declaration of war! Oh ho ho ho ho..." Kaido laughed loudly.

"Are they targeting us?"

"Damn it, they actually launched an attack first?!"

Several lieutenant generals reacted quickly, rising in shock: "Admiral Kizaru, Vice Admiral Tsuru, we probably need to evacuate immediately..."

"No, it's too late." Crane got up and walked out of the cabin, gazing at the distant sky.

A terrifying azure dragon swayed in the clouds, its head firmly planted atop Guan Yi, its body reaching the heavens. Beside it, the laughter of the old woman riding Zeus, the thundercloud, overlapped with the laughter coming from the Den Den Mushi: "Mama mama... Trying to escape? Navy. Unfortunately, the broadcast you're watching has a delay of about ten minutes! Your delicious souls, I'll take them!"

A deafening roar—three terrifying bursts of Conqueror's Haki descended simultaneously, the sea churning and waves splashing onto the pale faces of every Marine. Even Kizaru's expression turned bitter; this was bad.

[Hit Value +37580]

Without a doubt, this was Guan Yi's idea.

Since we've chosen to be enemies, and since we've chosen to step into the limelight, let's start fighting!
The goal is to capture Admiral Kizaru!
