Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Certain death!

Yes, Shanks' Observation Haki had already foreseen it.

If he tries to withstand this attack, he will die; he has no chance of survival.

"hateful!!"

This was the biggest life-or-death crisis Shank had ever faced in his life.

He panicked and was momentarily at a loss.

crucial moment,

His most trusted right-hand man, Ben Beckman, finally regained his composure and said one sentence:

"Shanks, you and your companions get out of here right now. I'll take this hit."

Beckman's words were spoken calmly, yet they stirred up a storm in the hearts of everyone on the Red Team.

Yasopp shouted, "You'll die, First Mate Beckman!"

As one of the top marksmen in the ocean, Yasopp's Observation Haki is also among the best in the world.

He could see that whether it was Captain Shanks or First Mate Beckman, if they tried to block the combined giant attack from Kaido and Big Mom, they would only meet with death.

Beckman calmly stated:

"It's better for me to die than for us all to die together. That's the best solution. Shanks, don't hesitate!"

Known for his wisdom, 870 Beckman often sees things that even the red-haired man misses.

Just then, the redhead was somewhat flustered and at a loss for what to do.

Beckman, however, could clearly see that only by sacrificing himself could he give the Red Team a chance to escape.

Otherwise, we'll all die here together.

Redhead's eyes immediately welled up with tears as he looked at Beckman and said through tears:

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this..."

"I'm the one who should apologize."

Beckman sighed.

"I can no longer keep my vow to go with you to see the final throne."

"Shanks, you sacrificed your left arm and gambled the new era on Luffy."

"And today, I will sacrifice my life and bet my future on you."

"Live to witness the day when the world is completely transformed, Shanks!"

These were Beckman's last words.

then,

His entire body was covered in incredibly powerful advanced Armament Haki, and he fearlessly charged towards the massive shockwave that was hurtling towards him.

The members of the Red Team, with tears streaming down their faces, roared in deep sorrow:

(bjdc)

"First Mate Beckman!!"

They tried to stop Beckman, but were stopped by the redhead.

Redhead wiped away his tears and said in a somber tone:

"Let's go quickly! We can't let Beckman's sacrifice be in vain!"

The members of the Red Team gritted their teeth, turned around, and fled.

In the corner of their eyes as they looked back, they saw their respected First Mate Beckman being gradually torn to shreds in the terrible shockwave.

Blood filled the air.

He died without a complete body; not even bones were left behind.

Redhead's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and drew blood.

He was in great pain and wished he could die with Beckman.

But he couldn't let Beckman down on his dying wish.

He wants to survive, to live to witness the world change, to witness Luffy become Joy Boy, and to witness the day when Kaido and Big Mom, those two bastards, and that damned Beast Prince Consort Luo Xing, all get their comeuppance!

The Red-Haired Pirates fled in a sorry state, like stray dogs.

"Ooh ha ha ha!"

Kaido laughed heartily.

His muscles trembled with excitement, eager to press his advantage and wipe out the entire Red Army here.

Then, Shanks' territory would belong to him too!

The new world will then become the domain of the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

The Beast Pirates are far stronger than the Big Mom Pirates, which means that the New World will be ruled by the Beast Pirates from now on!

Kaido is only one step away from the ultimate throne of the Pirate King!

unfortunately,

Just as Kaido was about to ride Zeus on the thundercloud in pursuit, he suddenly felt a series of uncomfortable sensations in his body, as if he were about to split apart.

Immediately, this sense of division intensified.

The combined giants reverted to being Kaido and Big Mom.

During this time, the Red-Haired Gang had already disappeared without a trace.

Kaido flew into a rage and roared:

"Lingling, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly give up?!"

The older woman also jumped up and down, shouting in a shrill voice:

"Kaido, it's clearly your fault, yet you're blaming me!"

The entire process of the two combining and ending takes only ten seconds.

This isn't Kaido's or Big Mom's fault; it's both of theirs.

The time it takes for the matching earrings to fit together depends on the level of understanding between the two people.

Quinn and Jack have been working together for so long, they can probably combine their powers for about ten minutes.

Luo Xing and his wife Dahe can stay together for at least half an hour.

Kaido and Big Mom glared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Not long after, they suddenly started laughing heartily, arms around each other's shoulders.

The older woman clapped her hands happily and said:

"Whitebeard's territory will be ours from now on. It's the largest piece of land in the New World!"

……

……

Meanwhile, at Marineford, the naval headquarters.

Whitebeard, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Akainu, was unaware that his territory had already fallen to the Beast Pirates.

Furthermore, Shanks even paid a heavy price—the loss of a vice-captain—to protect his territory.

Although Whitebeard ate the Senzu Bean, his strength recovered considerably.

However, his deep-rooted heart condition made it difficult for him to continue fighting.

Akainu keenly sensed this and was overjoyed.

He was at a disadvantage in his battle with Whitebeard and was already seriously injured.

But he was in his prime, while Whitebeard was old and frail. If this continued, Akainu would soon have a chance to counterattack.

Marco, as the Whitebeard's doctor, knew that his father's physical condition couldn't last much longer and that he had to rescue Ace as soon as possible.

He kicked Kizaru away with all his might, then spread his phoenix wings and flew towards the execution platform.

Kizaru didn't pursue him. After regaining his balance, he put his hands in his pockets and watched the show.

On the other side, Admiral Aokiji was also fighting with Diamond Jozu, but he still had the energy to glance at Marco.

"Oh dear, it's actually charging towards the target? This is bad."

Ignoring the navy's cannon fire and gunfire, Marco quickly approached the execution platform under the excited gaze of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just when Marco thought he could rescue Ace immediately,

A burly figure suddenly appeared above him and punched him in the head.

Marco, with his phoenix-like body that could ignore guns and cannons, couldn't withstand this punch and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

After punching Marco away, the burly figure landed in the general's seat, sat in the middle chair, and crossed his arms.
