Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

“However, our strength is simply no match for Big Mom's, so we need to infiltrate,” Torregia said.

"But we know far too little about BIG MOM, which is not conducive to infiltration operations."

“Wait a minute,” Chopper suddenly said. “If you want to know anything about Big Mom, I think there’s someone who can help you.”

Is that the lion?

"Yes, but if you want to find Beckmus, you have to find Boss Cat Viper first."

After saying that, the group found Nekomamushi, who was overjoyed to see the Straw Hat crew. This caused his wound to reopen.

Chopper frantically bandaged up the cat viper, while Tregear, seemingly lost in thought, said to the others, "You guys keep chatting, I'm going back to the Thousand Sunny to get some things."

"Okay, come back quickly."

After Torregia left, the group, led by Pedro, arrived at a room where the injured Bekemus was located.

"It's you guys, the Straw Hat crew," Pekoms said weakly. "I'm so sorry about Black Leg... sigh!"

While speaking, Bekmus suddenly saw Belial behind him and screamed in fright. He quickly retreated and hid in a corner, trembling with fear.

"You, how did you get here?" Beckmus looked at Belial in horror. Beckmus still vividly remembered that horrific massacre; Belial, like a demon, slaughtered the entire Anthem in just a few minutes.

“Belial is one of our crew members,” Luffy said.

"You, you're not here to kill me, are you?" Beckmus said, looking at Pedro. "Brother Pedro, if anything happens, you have to save me."

“Uh, well…” Pedro swallowed hard as he looked at Belial. “Would you believe me if I said that he took down me and several other bands of knights in a few seconds?”

"..."

"Alright, stop babbling. I need to talk to you," Beria said. "What's the deal with this wedding? Who arranged it?"

"Of course, it was decided by my mother and Vinsmoke Judge, who is also Blackfoot's father," Beckmus said.

"So it's a marriage alliance, right? Then what do you want from the Vinsmoke?"

"Don't you know Germa 66?"

"what is that?"

"Germa 66 is a military organization led by the Vinsmoke family, known as the 'war experts' and the 'evil army,' and its leader, Vinsmoke Judge, is a scientist and the founder of the research team NEO MADS. He was formerly a member of the research team MADS and was part of the same team as Vegapunk."

“Vegapunk, I’ve heard Caesar mention him before.”

"What we are interested in is the technological capabilities that Germa possesses."

"Then why did you take a liking to Sanji? Doesn't he have several sons?" Belial asked.

"I don't know about that."

“However,” Beckmus said, “Blackfoot will absolutely not escape this invitation.”

"why?"

"Because if he refuses, he will receive a terrible gift: the heads of those associated with him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. After a brief moment of shock, Belial's expression softened. He had once been an emperor and naturally understood the nature of this matter—a threat.

"And once this wedding takes place, Blackfoot will no longer be your ally, because to put it nicely, it's a wedding; to put it bluntly, it's a political marriage, and Blackfoot will be the victim of this marriage."

"Enough!" Luffy shouted. "I don't care about any arranged marriages, Sanji is my crewmate!"

"What are you telling me? This isn't something I can decide, nor is it something Blackfoot can decide," Beckmus waved his hand.

After hearing this, Beria went out the door and was pondering when Torregia returned.

"Are you done?"

"It's in progress, I'll be back in a little while. How's it going?"

Belial told Tregear what Pekoms had said, and Tregear sighed after hearing it, "Sanji, sigh!"

"We're discussing it now, and you too..."

"Beria is in charge, Torre is in charge!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Luo arriving with a group of people.

"It is you."

Luffy, who had just stepped outside, exclaimed in surprise, "It's Traman!"

"You're all here. Let me introduce you. These are my crew members."

Upon hearing this, the members of Law's pirate crew all struck a pose resembling white cranes spreading their wings, and said, "Let's get to know each other, Straw Hat crew!"

“They really are extraordinary crew members,” Torregia chuckled. “By the way, Law, I happen to have something to tell you.”

Torregia led Law aside and told him what had just happened.

"I see," Luo said.

"Now we're going to rescue Sanji."

“Wait a minute, Trey,” Law said. “We’re already being targeted by Kaido, and now we’re going to mess with Big Mom too.”

"There's no other way, Sanji is our comrade, we have to go."

When Nekomamushi, who had brought the Straw Hat crew over, saw the scene, he exclaimed, "Wow, so many people! What are we waiting for? Bring out the food and drinks, let's have a feast!"

A dozen minutes later, Belial, Tregear, and Law looked at Luffy and the others, who were drinking and eating with Nekomamushi and a group of Mink Tribe members, with strange expressions.

The three exchanged glances, their hearts heavy with melancholy and silence, and clinked glasses (Tregear didn't like alcohol; his was a soft drink).

Luo said, "Gentlemen, how about trying to develop some business here with me..."

Belial and Tregear took a deep breath and said, "You chose to be on the ship, so stay there!"

“They can eat first, we can chat while they do,” Tregear said, taking a sip of his drink. “How much does Law know about Kaido and Big Mom?”

"I'm not entirely sure either, but one thing is for sure: their strength is definitely above that of a general!"

Upon hearing this, Belial and Tregear couldn't help but rub their foreheads. "If that's the case, then we'll have to infiltrate."

"And there must be few people."

“You two mean to split up and act separately,” Luo said.

"Yes."

“However, let’s talk to them about this later,” Beria said.

"Huh?" Law said, "If the Straw Hat leader finds out, then..."

Tregear laughed and said, "Law, you've been with us for a while now. Don't you know Luffy's personality? Even if we break his legs, he'll still go."

"alright, I got it."

"Hey! Belial, Tregear, and Travis! Come here right now, there's something good to eat!" Luffy shouted.

“This kid!” Belial couldn’t help but laugh.

"Okay, let's go too."

"Ah."

The banquet continued into the night, and everyone went to sleep. The next day, just as dawn was breaking, an alarm rang out, waking everyone from its sudden sound.

"What's going on so early in the morning!" Belial shouted in annoyance.

“That’s an alarm,” Wanda said. “Something must have happened.”

"Alright, let's go take a look."

The group quickly tidied themselves up and went to check on the situation.

At this moment, Torregia looked at the terminal, his expression changed drastically, and he whispered to the others, "Kin'emon and Kanjuro are here."

Meanwhile, Kin'emon and Kanjuro scratched their heads in the forest. Kin'emon said with a troubled expression, "Sigh, where did that little monkey go? We can't find Raizo at all."
