One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

"Wildfire" King stood silently with his arms crossed over his chest, following Kaido. "Plague" Queen held a large chicken leg in his hand, smacking his lips as he ate. "Drought" Jack walked blankly behind his two older brothers.

At this moment, Kaido was in a good mood because the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters had suffered a setback in Impel Down, and Law Xiu had overthrown Impel Down, greatly weakening the prestige of the Marines. This shift in power was a silent victory for the pirates.

It was the Demon Guild that Luo Xiu had recently established that had left him somewhat confused. After thinking it over, he concluded that there was only one possibility.

Luo Xiu and he shared the same view.

Yes! Luo Xiu is definitely building an army, all of whom are Devil Fruit users. Otherwise, there's no reason for him to have so many Devil Fruits.

The only difference is that Luo Xiu used a purebred fruit.

"Young people are so naive!"

"Building a Devil Fruit army is meaningless without artificial Devil Fruits as support!" Kaido sneered inwardly, feeling that Law's idea was too optimistic. Without artificial Devil Fruits as a safety net, this plan was simply impossible to achieve.

Fortunately, he had made a deal with Doflamingo beforehand, thus securing control of the artificial Devil Fruit.

"Although artificial fruits are uglier than naturally grown fruits, empirical evidence shows that they are still very useful!"

"This is currently the fastest way to increase strength!" Kaido's eyes gleamed as he surveyed the artificial Devil Fruit users.

Artificial Devil Fruit users and natural Devil Fruit users differ in appearance.

The former will exhibit animalistic physical characteristics, while the latter will only be used when actively used, which is a drawback.

For example, the creatures standing in front of Kaido include some with elephant heads on their chests, some with tentacles on their limbs, some with four arms, and some with eight legs. They are truly bizarre and monstrous.

But Kaido didn't care at all; compared to increasing his strength, sacrificing a bit of good looks was totally worth it.

Just as Kaido was lost in thought, Who's Who, one of the Flying Six, slowly walked over and brought Kaido the news that Ace had been arrested and was to be publicly executed.

"The Whitebeard Second Captain has been arrested?"

"Execution in public at Naval Headquarters?"

"I'd heard about the public execution before!"

One after another, the three calamities spoke, and even the usually taciturn King joined in. The news that Ace had been arrested and publicly executed was truly shocking.

Because this involves more than just one team captain.

It could very well affect the entire Yonko crew.

"Hahahaha!"

"This is good news!"

"Whitebeard greatly admired Ace!"

"He won't stand idly by!" Kaido was quite excited, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips as he thought of Whitebeard's current state.

This could be a good opportunity to expand territory, recruit soldiers, and engage in robbery and plunder.

He had absolutely no intention of helping Whitebeard rescue Ace. Although he looked down on the World Government and the Navy from the bottom of his heart, and they had suffered losses at the hands of Law, their foundation and hard conditions were there.

It would be extremely unwise to risk losing one's own power for no reason, especially since the Four Emperors are in competition with each other.

"Governor! We might be able to gradually take over Whitebeard's territory!" King thought the same as Kaido and promptly voiced his opinion.

"Hehe, take advantage of his weakness and kill him!" Quinn said with a grin, holding up a large chicken leg in his hand, his mouth glistening with oil.

“Big brother, that’s what I think too!” Jack, who seemed simple and honest, echoed the two older brothers.

"Let's see what Whitebeard does next!" We have to wait and see. Although I believe in my heart that Whitebeard will rescue Ace, it is still unknown how many troops he will leave behind.

Anyway, the matter will be revealed in a week, and we can make arrangements then depending on the situation.

"Building a strong Beast Legion is the key!"

"I believe that once the Beast Pirates are established, they won't care about the Four Emperors or the damn Navy; they'll all become their defeated foe!" Quietly developing one's own power is the true path to victory, and that's the capital to be arrogant.

"The Governor is mighty!"

"The Beasts Corps is invincible!"

“…”

The artificial Devil Fruit users cheered and dreamed of a future where they could punch the Marine Headquarters, trample the World Government, and count treasures until their hands cramped.

"Quinn! Go to Dressrosa and check on the fruit production progress!"

"Doflamingo has gotten too cocky lately, he hasn't even called me once. I'm bringing him along this time, it's time to give him a good talking to!" Kaido ordered.

"Rest assured, Governor!"

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Queen said he had no problem at all. Although he was usually a coward and hated fighting, he could easily handle a Shichibukai like Doflamingo.

He usually gets along very well because of the governor.

As the governor's right-hand man, he was going to personally visit the governor, so he would have to treat him to the best food and wine. He would certainly enjoy the good life! He could also take the opportunity to extort some money from him.

.......

New world, red-haired pirates.

Shanks held a newspaper in his hand, his face solemn. The article on it was about Ace's public execution.

"The worst has still happened!" Redhead shook his head and sighed.

Although he met the Five Elders in Mary Geoise a week ago and learned that Ace would be publicly executed, there has been no news recently, so he still holds onto a glimmer of hope.

It now seems that battle is inevitable.

Unlike the concerns of other pirates, he understood that this time the Marine Headquarters was involved not only by the Marines, but also by the World Government.

The Whitebeard Pirates will have no chance of survival if they go there. The entire Yonko crew will be swallowed up instantly, the balance of the sea will be broken, and it is very likely that that man will also be involved.

"This is absolutely not what I want to see!" Shanks crumpled the newspaper in his hand into powder and sprinkled it on the sea. He made up his mind that he had to go to the Whitebeard Pirates.

I failed to stop Ace from hunting Blackbeard before, which led to this incident. This time, I must stop Whitebeard from rescuing Ace to avoid future regrets.

"Beckman!"

"Bring me my treasured wine!" the red-haired man shouted to the first mate on deck.

Boom boom boom!

A short while later, Beckman came over with a large jar of wine, which was almost half a meter tall.

"Captain, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, the other crew members also came out, their eyes fixed on their captain.

During this time, the captain has been overwhelmed with problems related to various forces. First there was the Demon Guild, then there was the public execution, and now he has to go out again?

"Let's go to the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Keep a close eye on Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's movements during this time. I'll be back soon!"

.......

Chapter 139 Whitebeard's Decision! Shanks Arrives!

This day.

Whitebeard Pirates.

Aboard Moby Dick.

Whitebeard, wielding the Supreme Grade Sword Twelve, Murakumogiri, stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance.

The tubes that used to be inserted into his body were gone, his broad and towering chest was exposed, and an invisible aura slowly emanated from him. His white robe fluttered in the wind, exuding an aura of dominance.

His current state is nothing like that of an elderly person in their twilight years, plagued by injuries and illnesses; he seems more like...

In stark contrast to him were his sons.

Marco, Jozu, "Floral" Vista, and other captains, along with the crew members on the Moby Dick, gathered on the deck. Unlike the white-bearded man's composed demeanor, their faces showed deep pain.

Just now, Daddy announced something: he was going to Marine Headquarters alone to confront the Marines head-on and rescue Ace.

And this is something they absolutely do not want to see!

They knew their father's physical condition better than anyone else. Years of fighting and his aging body had placed a heavy burden on him, and his strength was no longer at its peak.

Whether or not Ace can be rescued is another matter, but the chances of his father surviving are slim.

If something really happens to Dad, it will be even more painful for them than killing them.

"Dad! Let us go with you! Let's go rescue Ace!"

"Dad! Aboard Ace's ship, you are his son, but you are also our family! This is a responsibility we should fulfill!"

"Dad..."

The crew shouted loudly, pleading with their old man, Whitebeard.

"Ace is my son!"

"But you are too!"

"The Navy Headquarters will definitely be heavily guarded this time!"

"I don't want to see any of you die!" Whitebeard said loudly, his voice carrying the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, resounding in everyone's minds.

As the strongest man in the world, he disliked wealth and territory, and cherished his family above all else.

Every pirate who joined the Whitebeard Pirates, whether a crew member on the main ship or in a subsidiary crew, was his beloved son.

Ace was one, as were the others, including those who were weaker and had just joined the team.

The fact that the Navy Headquarters made a special announcement about Ace's capture suggests that there were likely already many obstacles in place, and that senior Navy forces would be present to guard the area.

If they were to lead the entire Yonko-class team to attack Marine Headquarters, countless people would die or be injured.

He didn't want to see the blood of any of his sons.

Rather than paying such a heavy price, it's better to let him go alone. He's already on the verge of death, so what if he dies in Marineford? He'll definitely turn the Marine Headquarters upside down.

"Dad! We're not afraid to die! Since joining your team, we've long since put life and death out of our minds!"

"If we can live with a clear conscience when our family members are about to be executed, then what kind of family are we? We would despise ourselves!"

"It's just the Navy Headquarters, just those admirals and soldiers! They arrested our families, they must make them pay the price!"

"Yes! They must pay the price..."
