Runti's gaze fell on the damaged street, and her face turned a deep purplish-red.

"I've been tricked—!!!"

Runti stomped her foot on the ground and ordered her men to search for the unfamiliar faces that had appeared in the Flower Capital and the four missing Super Star Newcomers.

He then pulled Page Van back to the general's residence.

"Let's go! Go back and report to Lord Kaido."

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Flower City, in an abandoned warehouse area.

Six figures appeared out of thin air and crashed to the ground at the same time.

Luffy was the first to get up. He shook his dizzy head and looked around.

What was once the ruins of a dojo has now become an empty space piled with old wooden crates.

Half of the warehouse roof had collapsed, and moonlight leaked in through the hole, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"What happened?" Luffy scratched his head.

Zoro had already stood up, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

"This is a spatial displacement of the surgical fruit."

Trafalgar's abilities.

The four supernovas also realized what was happening and re-adopted their fighting stances.

"etc."

Just as tensions were running high, Law led the Red Star Pirates out of the shadows, with Sanji following behind him.

Sanji started criticizing Luffy the moment he saw him:

"I knew you idiot wouldn't stay put!"

He promised to wait patiently for the big meal, but he turned around and ran out to fight!

Luffy retorted confidently:

"But it's too dangerous for Zoro to go out alone! What if he gets lost!"

"Who are you calling lost?" Zoro's forehead veins bulged.

"You always get lost!"

"You're lost!"

"It was clearly you who was there—"

"Alright, Straw Hat Master, now's not the time for this."

Luo's voice wasn't loud, but the surgical space expanded again, and the boundary of the light shield completely enveloped everyone in the warehouse.

Ap watched Luo warily:

"Trafalgar, you want to get involved too?"

Luo ignored them and instead walked between the two groups of people, sitting cross-legged in the moonlight.

The ghostly wailing sound lay across his lap, its voice faint.

"I'm not here to fight."

Luo's voice was calm.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation."

The warehouse was silent for a moment.

Becky paused, the cigar in his mouth dangling from his lips, as smoke slowly escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"cooperate?"

"The four of you have been subdued by Kaido, but are you content with that?"

Luo's gaze swept over Apoo, Hawkins, Becky, and Drake in turn.

"Kaido only sees you as tools."

They are sent out to bite people when needed, and thrown into a corner when not needed.

"You've been in the New World for so many years, when have you ever been treated like this?"

No one answered.

However, the tense atmosphere in the arena gradually subsided.

"Now the Straw Hat Pirates are going to challenge Kaido."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Luo continued, lightly tapping the scabbard of the Ghost Cry sword with his fingers.

"I have already allied with the Straw Hat Pirates."

You four—

Do you want to join?

Hawkins stopped flipping the cards and looked up at Luo:

"What are the odds of winning if you team up with them?"

"If you fight alone, your chances of winning are zero."

Luo's tone was completely unadorned.

"If we join forces—at least it won't be a zero-sum game."

Becky exhaled a puff of smoke:

Do you know what level of monster Kaido is?

Back then, all of us combined were just slightly larger ants compared to him.

"So you're content to be ants?" Luo retorted.

Becky didn't say anything.

Luffy suddenly interrupted at this moment, his voice so loud that everyone was stunned for a moment:

"Since we're going to beat Kaido up anyway, it'll be more fun with more people!"

"Come on, all of you! We'll take down Kaido first, then we'll fight the others!"

Apoo glared at him: "You're thinking way too simply... That's one of the Four Emperors!"

"So what?"

Luffy tilted his head, his expression serious as if he were saying that one plus one equals two.

"Whether it's the Four Emperors or the Generals, they're all people who will be beaten to a pulp."

Don't you want to fight back if he bullies you?

"Even if I can't beat them, I can just run away, get stronger, and come back to challenge them!"

Luffy's simple words struck a chord with the new Super Stars present.

As members of the Worst Generation, they were lawless by nature. Apart from Drake, the undercover agent, who else present would willingly act as a dog?

The warehouse was quiet for a while.

Then Hawkins suddenly put away the tarot cards.

"I'm joining."

The other three turned to look at him at the same time.

Hawkins' expression remained calm and indifferent, but his tone was more resolute than ever:

"I've calculated it. The survival rate by cooperating with the Straw Hat Pirates is 50%."

Becky was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep drag on her cigar, threw the butt on the ground, and stomped it out.

"OK.

Anyway, I've been wanting to find a chance to get revenge on that drunkard for a long time.

He got drunk last time and treated my men like bowling balls; I've held a grudge against him ever since.

Ap looked at Hawkins, then at Becky, and finally shrugged.

"Three against one, the minority obeys the majority."

Anyway, I don't want to stay under Kaido's command anymore. King looks at me like I'm an insect he could crush at any moment.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Drake.

This taciturn former naval undercover agent kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression.

After a long while, he slowly nodded.

"it is good."

Luo stood up, and the operating room slowly receded.

"Now that you've all agreed, let's get down to business."

Hawkins suddenly spoke up:

"Since we're going to gather our forces, there's one person you won't want to miss—Eustius Kidd."

Luffy blinked: "The one with red hair?"

"It's him."

Hawkins pulled a tarot deck from his pocket; the top card depicted the Hanged Man.

"He and his men are now imprisoned in the Udon prison quarry."

Sea stone handcuffs were used to restrain his abilities, and he was forced to do labor every day.

I went to see him once; the situation wasn't good.

Zoro frowned: "Kid? That guy with magnetism? He's joining too?"

Hawkins nodded: "Kid hates Kaido to the core. When Kaido descended from the sky, Kid was the only one who dared to confront him head-on."

As a result, he was easily defeated by Kaido, and he has not yet surrendered. He is still in the quarry wearing sea stone handcuffs and moving stones.

"If we rescue him, he'll definitely be on our side."

Luo pondered for a few seconds, then tapped the location of Rabbit Bowl on the map:

"Rabbit Bowl is Queen's territory."

That fat pig may seem unreliable, but he has at least five hundred men under his command, and his Brachiosaurus Fruit is not easy to deal with.

"They still need to be saved."

Luffy stood up, dusted off his backside,

"Although that Kidd has a bad temper, he's still someone who's going to beat up Kaido."

The more people who beat Kaido, the more beatings Kaido will take.

Sanji rolled his eyes: "Your logic is really simplistic and crude."

"It's a very simple thing to begin with."

Luffy grinned.

"Kaido has bullied many people, we must beat him to a pulp."

All those who are bullied by Kaido are our friends.

My friend was locked up, of course I had to go and rescue him.

A slight smile appeared on Zoro's lips.

That's Luffy—always making complex things sound as simple as one plus one, but strangely enough, he's always right.
