One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you, Lingling. The boy you wanted is back. Talk to him yourself."

With that, Mr. Kai tossed the Den Den Mushi to Ian.

What does "the boy she wants" mean?

Ian caught the Den Den Mushi and swallowed hard.

No way?

Is Charlotte Linlin's condition for cooperating with the Beast Pirates that she become Guy's brother-in-law?

The generational order has been messed up.

Ian hesitated, wondering whether he should just hang up the phone.

Teacher Kai, I was being superficial, and I apologize.

"Oh? Is that Ian on the other end of the phone now?"

Den Den Mushi have a peculiar characteristic: their appearance changes to resemble the person making the call. So, the Den Den Mushi in Ian's hand wore a captain's bicorn hat, a pink dress, and a large nose.

It's easy to imagine that Charlotte Linlin's Den Den Mushi has also changed into a white shirt and grown black hair, so she can naturally tell that the Den Den Mushi has been replaced.

"Hello, Aunt Lingling."

Ian emphasized the inequality in their seniority.

"Auntie? Mommy, Mommy! You're such a smooth talker!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily. She was old enough to be Ian's grandmother; after all, she was only eighteen when she gave birth to her first son, and her eldest son, Perospero, was already thirty-five this year. "Want to come over to my place?"

No, Auntie, we're not making an appointment!

Ian was about to blurt it out instinctively.

Before he could even utter a word, Charlotte Linlin continued, "I have several daughters around your age, and they're all very beautiful. Come and be my son-in-law."

"In that case, we'll be family, and I can help you fight the Whitebeard Pirates."

Kaido gave a soft snort.

Lingling, that stinky old woman, never offered help for free.

Ok?

Ian paused.

Does she want me to be her son-in-law?

Hiss—Charlotte Linlin may have many children who are oddly shaped, but she does have a beautiful daughter.

If I remember correctly, there was a pretty girl named Charlotte Garrett who wasn't much older than me.

That doesn't seem to be the case—

Ian said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Linlin, but I have no intention of leaving the Beasts Pirates."

If I agree, I'll definitely get beaten to death by Teacher Kai.

Besides, doesn't Teacher Kai have a daughter? Although he is a bit silly.

"Kid, are you going to reject me?"

Charlotte Linlin's voice, which had been somewhat gentle, instantly turned gloomy.

“We can try a different way of cooperating,”

Ian said, "As long as our two families join forces, no one in the entire New World can stop us. We can turn the entire New World into our inland sea."

"Don't try to pull your luck with me!"

Charlotte Linlin sneered, "Without sufficient compensation, why should I share your risks? My territory is so far from Whitebeard's. Even if I defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, what will I get?"

Ian smacked his lips.

This is what pirates are like.

Although Charlotte Linlin and Mr. Kay do have a deep bond, they still have to prioritize their own interests.

Saying they want to dominate the New World is definitely a joke. If they really meant that, it probably wouldn't be long before the Five Elders lead the Marine Admirals to Wano Country.

"or,"

Charlotte Linlin changed her tone, "Isn't the trade in Seastone quite booming lately? Your Wano Country is the largest producer of Seastone, how about letting me get a piece of the pie?"

"Don't even think about it."

Before Ian could even answer, Guy had already snorted coldly, "Wano Country is my territory!"

That's true, Guy would never share Wano Country with anyone.

Hades is right here.

"Then there's nothing to talk about, Kaido. Good luck."

The other side hung up the phone.

Ian scratched his head, a purely superficial sibling relationship.

What a headache.

It seems that the only option left is to fight Whitebeard fairly.

Chapter 60 The Spying People! Yamato's Specialized Armor

All Nations, Cake Island.

"Stinky brat!"

Charlotte Linlin was still furious after hanging up the phone. "How dare they refuse my offer!"

"Then Mom,"

Beneath the throne she leaned upon, the tall man, Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, Katakuri, calmly asked, "What should we do?"

"Katakuri, gather your forces!"

With her large pregnant belly, Charlotte Linlin slammed her hand on the armrest of the throne. "That bastard Kaido dared to refuse my help! Let me see just how far he can fight Whitebeard! I hope they fight to a draw, and then I'll swallow their territory whole!"

She suddenly chuckled again, "Of course, it wouldn't be bad if Kaido were to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of Whitebeard and had no choice but to obediently come to me for help."

"I understand, Mom."

Katakuri nodded slightly.

Naval Base G-13.

This naval base is quite deep in the New World, serving as the front line for the Navy in dealing with the great pirates of the New World.

The top floor of the base building houses the base commander's office.

A man with a round, afro-like hairstyle, Marine Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, stood in front of a huge sea chart. "The Whitebeard Pirates are heading towards the Beast Pirates' territory. The war should break out in a few days."

"Mr. Zhan Guo,"

A man wearing a navy overcoat over a gray hoodie and a navy cap said in a deep voice, "Should we wait until Whitebeard and his men are both exhausted before wiping them out in one fell swoop?"

"We'll talk about that later. The priority is to prevent others from interfering with this war."

Sengoku pointed to a spot on the sea chart, where there was an archipelago marked with the name Whole Cake Island. "Kaido and Charlotte Linlin had a close relationship back in the Rocks Pirates era. It's hard to say that Kaido wouldn't ask Charlotte Linlin for help when he's fighting the Whitebeard Pirates."

"If that were the case, Whitebeard would be no match for him, but that's a consequence the government absolutely doesn't want to see."

With the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates joining forces, there will be no force in the New World that can stop them.

Even if there is only a slight possibility, we must not take it lightly.

Sengoku made a heavy dot on the map indicating the seas of the world, and said, "Keep a close eye on Charlotte Linlin! Don't let her get in the way!"

As for Kaido and Whitebeard, let them fight it out first.

Ultimately, the navy's course of action will depend on the outcome of their battle.

Beehive Island.

Wang Zhi stood on the makeshift port, where ships had already gathered and a large number of pirates were loading and unloading supplies.

"The manpower has been assembled."

Wang Zhi said in a deep voice, "It's time for us to take action as well."

Behind him stood another man. "Boss Wang Zhi, what should we do? Should we follow Whitebeard and attack Kaido's territory?"

Why should we help Whitebeard?

Wang Zhi said calmly.

"Eh?"

The man was taken aback. "Then Snake's grudge—"

That's why we have to wait.

Wang Zhi said, "Only by maximizing the benefits can we live up to Snake's sacrifice."

"Let Whitebeard and Kaido have a good fight first. It would be best if they were both severely injured, and then we could reap the benefits!"

The man paused for a moment, then nodded. "I understand."

Meanwhile, in a certain sea area near the territory of the Beasts Pirates, aboard the Moby Dick.

"Sorry, Dad,"

Marco sat on the ship's railing, his back slumped and his shoulders heavy. "I haven't done anything, and I've caused the pirate crew so much trouble."

"Silly son."

Whitebeard shook his head. "You did nothing wrong. I underestimated that kid's strength. So, Marco, there's no need to blame yourself. If you can't do it, then everyone should do it together. That's what family is. Family members are people who rely on each other and can face all difficulties together."

Marco's body trembled.

"That's right! Marco!"

Beside him, Vista shouted, "Dad will help you! We'll help you! This time, we'll make Kaido, we'll make that brat pay the price!"
