One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Meanwhile, the maritime boundary.

On the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco's Den Den Mushi rang.

"Hey, Dad?"

A deep, white-bearded voice came from the other end, "Marco, that brat Kaido has entered Beehive Island."

Marco was stunned. "What?!"

"Isn't that guy an ally of Roy?"

The white-bearded man was silent for a second.

"Um!"

"He probably went to team up with Roy."

Marco frowned. "Then let's..."

The white-bearded man said, "Wait."

"Let them make the first move."

"We're not in a hurry."

Marco nodded. "Yes, Dad."

......

The sea area to the south.

Katakuri also received the message aboard the Queen Mother's Singing Ship.

"Kaido has taken up residence on Beehive Island..."

He murmured, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Have they joined forces...?"

Smoothie walked over to him. "Katakuri-nii-san, what should we do?"

Katakuri was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Wait."

"Waiting for news from Mom."

......

Eastern airspace.

On the floating island, Shiki the Golden Lion was eating fruit when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinate.

"What?! Kaido's infiltrated Beehive Island?!"

He suddenly stood up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"They've joined forces?"

"interesting!"

"Hahaha! This is getting more and more interesting!"

He laughed loudly, sat down again, and crossed his legs.

"It seems they've teamed up again."

......

In the waters surrounding Beehive Island, three factions simultaneously received news of Kaido's arrival.

The already tense atmosphere became even more somber.

A storm is brewing.

But at the eye of the storm, the golden island remained calm.

........

A new world, in a hidden sea.

A massive underwater fortress lies silently in the depths of the sea.

This is a secret meeting place of the underworld, belonging to no force and not subject to any jurisdiction.

At this moment, in the luxurious conference room deep inside the fortress, six figures sat around a huge round table.

In the center of the round table, a giant image Den Den Mushi is projecting a map of the New World seas.

The location of Beehive Island is marked with a prominent red circle.

"Everyone, everyone's here."

A man dressed in a black suit, wearing a top hat and a mask, slowly spoke.

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an indescribable chill.

Kibsen, a giant in the funeral industry.

"Enough with the nonsense, Gibson."

An obese man, dressed in a magnificent robe and with his fingers adorned with jeweled rings, waved his hand impatiently.

Du Field, the king of usury.

"Why did you call us here?"

Kibsen smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Du Field, you're still so impatient."

He looked around, his gaze sweeping across everyone's face.

"Everyone here is a king of the underworld."

"The Queen of Pleasure Street, Stusey."

Stussy sat elegantly in his chair, legs crossed, a glass of red wine in his hand. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and nodded to everyone.

"Big news, Morgans."

Morgans sat in a specially made birdcage-shaped chair, his wings fluttering slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Gigela, a tycoon in the warehousing industry."

Gigra was a taciturn middle-aged man who simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

"The King of Shipping, Umit."

Umit was a bald, muscular man with bizarre tattoos covering his arms. He was standing with his arms crossed, coldly staring at Gibson.

"And you, Du Field."

Kibsen finally looked at Du Field, "and myself."

"The six kings of the underworld have all arrived."

Du Field frowned. "Kiberson, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Kiberson's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

What I wanted to say was—

He paused, then pointed to the map in the center of the round table.

"Pure gold."

The moment those two words were uttered, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.

Stussy put down his glass, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Morgans flapped his wings excitedly, "Pure gold! Pure gold that can grant immortality!"

Gigra remained silent, but his hands were clenched tightly.

Umit stood up, walked to the map, and stared at the location marked with a red circle.

"Honeycomb Island".

He muttered, "Roy's territory."

Kibsen nodded. "That's right."

"Now, the whole ocean knows that Roy is looking for pure gold."

"Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Shiki... the four Emperors have surrounded Beehive Island."

"The navy, I heard, has also been mobilized."

Du Feld sneered, "What does that have to do with us?"

"Getting involved in a competition of this level is practically suicide, isn't it?"

Kiberson looked at him and smiled slightly. "Du Feld, are you scared?"

Du Feld's expression changed. "Afraid? I'm afraid?!"

"But we're in business, not fighting a war!"

"In a battle of that magnitude, even a single aftershock could annihilate our fleet!"

Kibsen nodded. "You're right."

"In a one-on-one battle, none of us can compete with those emperors."

"but--"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"What if we join forces?"

Everyone was taken aback.

join forces?

Kibsen continued, "Gentlemen, have you ever thought about this—"

What is pure gold?

"It's immortality!"

"It's something countless people dream of!"

"If we get pure gold, we can live forever!"

"By then, wealth, power, status... what won't you have?"

His voice carried a seductive power.

"But we definitely can't steal it by ourselves."

"Any one of those emperors could easily annihilate our power."

"But what if the six of us join forces—"

"Intelligence sharing, force integration, division of labor and cooperation..."

"There might still be a chance!"

Du Feld remained silent.

A sly glint flashed in Stussy's eyes.

Morgans flapped his wings excitedly, "Join forces! Join forces!"

Umet turned to look at Gibson. "What are your plans?"

Kiberson smiled slightly and walked to the map.

"Now, Beehive Island is surrounded by the four emperors."

"Whitebeard is in the north, Big Mom is in the south, Shiki is in the east, and Kaido... has already settled in Beehive Island."

"On the Navy side, it's said that the admirals and vice admirals have secretly entered the New World G-1 branch."

"Even the Knights of God have been mobilized."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

The Knights of God?!

That Celestial Dragons' strongest secret unit?!

Kibsen nodded. "That's right."

"Even the world government can't sit still anymore."

"They want to wait for the pirates to kill each other, and then reap the benefits."

"So, the current situation is—"

"The four emperors besieged the island, the navy was eyeing it covetously, and the Knights of God were lurking in the shadows."

"And we..."

He paused, then looked around.

"Underground."

"In places they can't see."

"Wait until they're both severely weakened, then wait for pure gold to appear—"

"That's when we'll make our move!"
