One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1075: The Battle of the Mother Fire (I)

"How's the situation?"

It was a dark night at sea. The weather was not very good today. It was covered with dark clouds as if it was going to rain at any time. The whole sea seemed to be shrouded in a big black pot, and it was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

But even in such a harsh environment, a group of guys in black clothes, driving a pitch-black boat, perfectly blended into the night and drifted on the sea. One of them, a fat man who seemed to be the leader, whispered.

"No problem, the time has been set. But I have to say, Brother Quinn, Boss Kaido's ability is really amazing. The clouds are so dense that I can hardly see my own hands."

Another guy in black whispered and also revealed that the leader was Quinn.

"You don't need to use your eyes. Your bat fruit ability is most suitable for this purpose. Otherwise, why would I bring you here? Hurry up, be alert, and keep an eye on it. If you come, notify me immediately. Also, don't get off the boat. Stay on the boat the whole time and be ready to run away at any time. Do you understand?"

Quinn looked at the guy in front of him through the night vision goggles and said that this time he brought people who were good at night combat, just to ensure that this operation would be foolproof. At the same time, there was another group of people hiding underwater on the other side, ready to provide support at any time, but Quinn hoped that he would not have to use them.

"Understood, big brother. I'll be keeping an eye on you anytime, ok? Wait, there's a response, from the northeast!"

As the bat boy was talking, suddenly, his echolocation detected something. At the same time, a dolphin fishman emerged from the water. Quinn had always been curious. Aren't whales and dolphins mammals? How come there are fishmen among them? But now was not the time to worry about these things. Quinn looked at the guy in front of him and asked immediately.

"Did you feel it over there?"

"I sensed it. Echolocation detected a huge surface object approaching from the northeast. It should be the new Egghead Island you mentioned, Mr. Quinn."

The dolphin fishman said.

"Very good, everyone, get ready. Success or failure depends on this. As long as we reach that location, we can send a signal. The rest will be left to Sister Lily. Do you understand?"

Quinn said, looking at the brothers behind him.

"I understand, brother."

"Understood, mentor."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely better prepared than you."

"Fate tells me that we will succeed this time."

Luke, Louises, A'Zu and Hawkins answered at the same time. This time, in addition to the night combat team, Quinn also brought all four of his Twelve Hours. Yes, Hawkins was officially in charge. After the last meeting, Lily sent someone to send Drake back to the navy and pretended to cause him some injuries, as well as some insignificant intelligence, so that this guy would not be suspected by the World Government. Then Hawkins took over the title of the last Twelve Hours smoothly. No one was dissatisfied with this. This guy was really capable, much better than Appu, the fellow tribesman who A'Zu wanted to recruit but didn't know what was good for him.

By the way, that Appo bumped into Atsu's hand. Because they are both from the Long-Armed Tribe, and Appo is a user of the Sound ability, Atsu was very optimistic about him. However, Appo was arrogant at the time and spoke rudely. As a result, Atsu also had a bad temper. After all, he was the one who dared to bet with Kaido, so he didn't hold back and directly crippled Appo. Now Appo has been announced to retire.

"Okay, as long as you feel ready, but remember, if you really encounter danger, jump into the sea. There are more than two thousand soldiers of the Sea King Army underwater. Although we are users with special abilities and cannot swim, we don't have to worry about anything because we have fishmen and mermaids. But you must bring this simple respirator with you to prevent choking to death before others come to rescue you. Do you understand?"

Quinn said again.

"I understand, Brother Quinn. Don't worry, I have good luck. I'm still waiting—"

"Shut up! Don't say such unlucky words. Hawkins, calculate again, will this guy be in trouble?"

Just as Luke was about to plant the flag, Quinn snatched it away and tore it to pieces, then turned to look at Hawkins, the biggest charlatan on Ghost Island.

"No problem. Senior Luke is very lucky. I have never seen anyone luckier than him." Hawkins flipped the tarot cards in his hand. He didn't pick them up. He just touched them with his fingertips and knew what the card was. After all, he couldn't see them in such a dark night, so he said directly.

"Okay, remember Luke! Don't say such unlucky words, and don't tell me to look at family photos before going to the battlefield. We have to complete the mission smoothly, understand?"

Quinn turned to look at Luke and said with a unhappy expression. Although it was so dark at night, no one could see Quinn's expression clearly.

"I understand. I just wanted to ease the atmosphere. Brother Quinn, you made things too tense. I wanted to make everyone relax a little."

Luke said, scratching his head with a smile.

"You can't lighten the atmosphere that way. Anyway, don't say such things, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Kikunojo and Loujuro, understand?"

After Quinn finished speaking, without waiting for Luke's reply, he looked towards the northeast again, ready to arrive at the new Egghead Island at any time.

"It seems that the instructor is a little nervous."

Louises whispered.

"There is nothing we can do. After all, this matter determines the success or failure of the entire war. We cannot allow the World Government to possess the power of destructive weapons. Moreover, regardless of whether this plan succeeds or not, judging from the outcome, we will have no way out and can only go to war."

Azu said.

"Yeah, it's been so fast. So many years have passed. When I first joined the Beasts, there was no kid named Luffy yet. Now my son is this big. So many years have passed in a flash, and I've finally come to this time."

Luke sighed again. In fact, he was also very nervous, otherwise he would not have said these things. Just now, he almost planted the flag unconsciously, but fortunately, it was torn to pieces by Quinn.

"Yeah, it's been many years. I still remember when I was beaten by Kaido and there was not a single good spot on my body. Ha, we were still in the Iron Islands at that time."

A-Zu said with a crooked smile on his face.

“I didn’t experience that period, but I think it was a very good experience.”

Hawkins stared with dead fish eyes, and from the surface, there was nothing unusual, but there was indeed a hint of envy in his tone.

"Don't worry, there's still a lot of time to go. And you've arrived just in time for such a big event, which is a good thing. Wait, I can detect the signal here, too, mentor!"

Just when Louisses was about to say something else, the radar on his right shoulder rang. It was a very slight sound. If it weren't for Louisses' modified ears that could receive such signals, it would be inaudible. This signal also meant that the New Egghead Island was approaching within fifty nautical miles.

"I know, I've prepared you all! Success or failure depends on this!"

Quinn stood at the bow. Although there was no light shining, Quinn's voice infected everyone on the boat. Everyone looked at the round figure at the bow and raised their hands at the same time.

"Success or failure depends on this!"

"Only win, never lose!"

“Only win, no lose!!!”
