Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 36 Alliance
"What on earth do you want from me—Shiqi!"

Kaido's deafening roar exploded among the clouds, and the green dragon scales reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

His huge body hovering high in the sky blocked out the sun, and his dragon whiskers trembled violently with his heavy breathing.

The man named Shiki did not answer Kaido's words, but walked into the building behind him with the clattering sound of his wooden clogs.

"Come down first, Kaido. The banquet is about to begin, and I have prepared the finest wine this time."

Hearing that there was good wine, Kaido didn't say anything more and just turned back into human form and fell to the ground.

And Jhin, who had been following behind him, and Burfat, who was holding Jhin's paw, also fell down together.

"Boss Kaido, this is..."

"Go in first and then talk!"

Kaido had actually guessed Shiki's purpose a long time ago, but he remained calm and walked into the banquet hall carefree.

The style of the banquet hall is very unique. Unlike ordinary pirate banquets where a few chairs and a long table are enough, this hall is not only huge in size, but also has carved beams and painted rafters and is inlaid with gold and silver.

Huge straight wood that looks very valuable is distributed around the building as supporting pillars, and is evenly coated with eye-catching red lacquer.

On either side of the polished, gleaming wooden floor were rows of low tables, neatly stacked with wine and food. Behind the low tables were soft, plush cushions, where quite a few people had already taken their seats.

At the end of the hall, there are three huge seats. Shiki is standing in front of the middle seat with his arms open, welcoming Kaido's arrival.

"Hahahaha! Are you here, Kaido? Take a seat, the party will start soon."

Kaido didn't waste any words. He just glanced at the figure on the left seat who was eating and drinking, then sat down on the cushion on the right, picked up the wine on the table and started drinking it in big gulps.

Jhin and Burfat also sat down below him, but did not touch the drinks on the table.

"Tell me, what do you want by calling me and this old woman here?"

"Mmmm~Mmmm~Kaidou! You little brat have become more and more rude after not seeing you for a few years!"

The huge figure sitting on the left heard Kaido's voice, but raised his face from the dozens of layers of cake and said rudely.

"These desserts from Fishman Island are so delicious! It's a pity that Newgate got there first!"

There is no doubt that this huge woman is Charlotte Lingling, nicknamed BIG MOM.

As a former member of the Rocks Pirates, the Queen of the Sea who occupies most of the Totland Sea and is one of the overlords of the New World.

Although she is now nearly 40 years old and has given birth to several children, she is still slim and charming. Of course, ignoring her height, which is a head taller than Kaido.

After Kaido and his group sat down, seeing that most people had arrived, Shiki also sat back on the main seat.

The pirates who were toasting below stopped what they were doing and looked at him in unison.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Shiki grinned and laughed wildly, "First of all, welcome to my territory! The scenery of my floating island is pretty good, right? Hahahaha~"

The crew of the Flying Pirates and the captains of the pirate groups affiliated with Shiki naturally agreed after hearing this. Now there are more than a dozen pirate groups affiliated with the Golden Lion.

"Haha, even such a huge island can be raised to the sky, Captain Shiqi's ability is really amazing~"

"That's right! You are indeed a legend on the sea."

"In the entire New World, I guess only Whitebeard can be compared to Boss Shiki."

... "Hey! Shiqi, did you call me here just to do these boring tricks? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If the dessert wasn't so good, I would have turned the table over long ago!"

Charlotte Lingling, who had already finished a table full of desserts, urged without giving any face.

"You're still so impatient, Lingling!"

Shiqi looked back at Big Mom with her mouth full of cream, but he was not angry.

"Well, let's get straight to the point. I called you here today for one thing—to capture Beehive Island!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pirates below suddenly became quiet, and then there was an uncontrollable noise.

Everyone knows what this means. In this era when 'ONE PIECE' is still unknown to the world, the treasure left behind by Rocks is almost the most crazy thing in the sea.

And Beehive Island was once the base camp of the Rocks Pirates!
"Mmmm~Mmmm~Are you finally going to take action against John?"

"That's right, John has kept those treasures for me for so long, now it's time to take them back." Shiqi smiled confidently, not hiding his ambition at all.

"After all, my current power is far from enough to conquer the world! Hahahaha!"

This man, who was almost at the pinnacle of the new world, said so.

"So, you called Lao Lai because you want me to be your thug? Can't you handle it by yourself?"

"If it was just John, there would be no problem, but I don't know what conditions that guy used to bring Silver Axe and Wang Zhi together.

Their ships are all on Beehive Island right now, and if I go alone, the losses will be too great," Shiqi admitted frankly.

Of course, there is another aspect that he did not say explicitly, which is that if these two people are not dragged into the water now, then after he and John are both defeated, they will definitely intervene in the aftermath and reap the benefits.

"Where's that guy from Newgate? Isn't he coming?" Charlotte Lingling suddenly thought of another 'old acquaintance'.

"I've looked for him, but he's still the same as before, with no interest in treasure. He spends all day with his 'sons'. Don't worry about him."

Shiki has always scoffed at Whitebeard's behavior. He has such powerful strength, but he still pursues some boring so-called "family" all day long.

"Does that mean we only need to deal with John and the other three?" Charlotte Lingling continued to swallow the newly arrived dessert in big gulps.

"Mmmmm~ What exactly is Rocks' treasure? I'm really looking forward to it~"

"I didn't expect that we, the remnants of Rocks, would be fighting each other again so soon. It's really exciting." Kaido's tone was also full of eagerness.

There is no doubt that the attitudes of the two men showed that they had agreed to Shiqi's alliance proposal.

"Hahahaha! Then, I declare that the Sky Pirates and their affiliated pirate groups, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates have officially formed a pirate alliance."

"Target - Beehive Island! Let's seize Rocks' treasure!" Shiqi raised the wine of alliance and drank it in one gulp.

“Oh!!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening cheer from the audience.

"I hope it's a battle that won't bore me!"

"Mmm~Mmm~ I hope you won't disappoint me, Rocks' treasure."
