Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“Mom…this time they won’t jump off so easily! The Navy has really made a big show of it! Lick lick lick lick…” Charlotte Perospero, Big Mom’s eldest son, said with a strange laugh.

"Well, well... I actually hope they can escape, once they get to Beihai..."

"Once they get to the North Sea, we'll take them down, including that brat Shanks!"

Before Big Mom could finish speaking, Kaido interrupted.

"Hmm?" Big Mom looked at Kaido in surprise. They had no grudge against Shanks, especially compared to the Straw Hat crew, Shanks' Red-Haired Pirates were much more troublesome.

Their main enemy right now is the extraterrestrial visitors, so if the Straw Hat crew comes, it would be understandable for them to deal with Luffy. As for Shanks, Big Mom doesn't want to provoke him.

“Linlin…do you really think that brat Shanks is here for a vacation in the North Blue? If they come, then some of our profits will have to be shared! We’ve invested so much effort in the early stages, and now they want to reap the rewards? Do you believe it or not? Even Whitebeard won’t step in to help them this time! So they probably won’t be able to come to the North Blue! Glug glug…” Kaido said while drinking his wine.

Big Mom's eyes lit up. The reason he brought this up was just in case. Reina's daughter was on the Straw Hat crew's ship, and the Whitebeard Pirates might come to their aid. With the help of the Whitebeard Pirates and Shanks, they might actually be able to break through the Navy's blockade and enter the North Blue.

Once they enter the North Sea area, the Navy will no longer have the authority to take action against the Straw Hat crew.

But after hearing what Kaido said, Big Mom felt that the Whitebeard Pirates might not actually make a move.

“Perospero… Immediately go and find out what’s going on with the Whitebeard Pirates. See if they’re making any moves, especially at their base! It seems like Thatch is in charge there, right?” Big Mom said, looking at her eldest son.

“Okay, Mom!” Upon hearing this, Perospero immediately turned and left to find the intelligence department.

Meanwhile, Big Mom and Kaido's banquet continued.

A moment later, Perospero walked in with a smile on his face.

"Mother... just as Governor Kaido guessed, the Whitebeard Pirates haven't made a move at all. Their frontline troops are even gathering, probably preparing for tomorrow's attack! As for their base, Thatch hasn't made any moves either, and has even strengthened their defenses!" Perospero stepped forward, looking at Big Mom and Kaido with admiration.

"However, while investigating the Whitebeard Pirates, we discovered something else: the Revolutionary Army seems to be making some moves. They seem to be planning to go and support the Straw Hat crew, but they're only sending a small number of people, mainly Ivankov, the Queen of the Emporium!"

"Oh? The Revolutionary Army? They still have the energy to deal with pirates?" Big Mom asked, looking puzzled.

“Mom… intelligence indicates that the Straw Hat is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army! And the grandson of the naval hero Monkey D. Garp!” Perospero said with a helpless expression.

They had known this information for a long time, but they hadn't paid attention to it. They completely ignored Luffy's background and focused all their attention on Benedict D. Robin because her father was Reina!

Furthermore, Reina had dealt with Big Mom multiple times because of Robin, so they completely forgot that the Straw Hat crew's captain was also a guy with quite a background.

"What?" Big Mom and Kaido both looked at Perospero with considerable surprise.

This seemed to be the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.

Chapter 797 Big Mom and Kaido's Test

"You just said, whose son is Straw Hat Luffy?" Kaido put down his sake jug, looked at Perospero, and asked.

“Governor, the Straw Hat Pirates are the son of Captain Dragon! And Robin on their ship is the daughter of Reina, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!” King, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"I know Reina's daughter, but I never expected that Straw Hat Luffy would actually be the boss's son!" Kaido said with a surprised look.

Both the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates were speechless at the thought that their leaders were unaware of what had happened.

However, everyone quickly realized that it didn't matter whose son or daughter the opponent was.

"So what should we do? Should we go and intercept the Straw Hat Pirates, or should we stay put?" asked Jack the Drought, one of the three great members of the Beasts Pirates.

"Ignore them and wait until they reach the North Blue! They won't escape from the Marines so easily this time, especially without the Whitebeard Pirates intervening!" Kaido shook his head and said, "We have more important things to do now!"

"Well, well, well... that's right! Everyone, let's prepare for tomorrow's attack! Once we take down the final island of the extraterrestrial visitors, the Straw Hat crew is nothing more than that. We can deal with them while we're at it!" Big Mom said, a glint of light in her eyes.

The crew members of the Big Mom Pirates looked at each other and then fell silent.

After the banquet ended, Smoothie and Perospero found Big Mom and said, "Mom, the Straw Hat crew is in the spotlight now. People all over the world are looking for them because if they find them, they'll know whether they got the One Piece or not!"

"So, besides us, who else do you think wants to get the One Piece?" Big Mom asked Smoothie.

“You mean… Kaido?” Smoothie was taken aback, then replied.

"Well, well, well... that's right, that brat Kaido has been eyeing the One Piece for a long time! Smoothie, notify Katakuri at the base to head to the North Blue border immediately. If you find any trace of the Straw Hat crew, bring them back to me right away!" Big Mom said with a sly laugh.

"Mom, do you think the Straw Hat crew can escape from the Navy's inescapable net?" Perospero asked with a surprised look.

“That’s right, the whole world underestimated their strength. With Shanks there, the Straw Hat crew might not be able to defeat the Marines, but escaping shouldn’t be a problem!” Big Mom nodded and said, “But even if they manage to retreat, the Marines are no joke this time. So if Katakuri encounters them, he could easily take them all away!”

“I’m afraid other factions think the same way!” Smoothie thought for a moment and then said, “Maybe I should go back!”

"No need! No one but us would expect the Straw Hat crew to escape from the Navy's inescapable net!" Big Mom shook her head and said, "So, we just need to be careful of Kaido's people! Tell Katakuri about this. The three calamities of the Beast Pirates are all here. There are no strong fighters at their base. It won't be easy to snatch them from Katakuri!"

“Okay, Mom!” Smoothie nodded and replied, “I’ll talk to Katakuri about it! But we also need to be careful that Kaido doesn’t send anyone back!”

"Well, well, well... don't worry, you can take your men over later and invite Kaido over to discuss tomorrow's troop deployment. He doesn't have time to arrange for people to go back!" Big Mom said with a strange laugh.

“I understand!” Smoothie nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after, at Smoothie's invitation, Kaido returned to Big Mom's side.

"Linlin, the banquet just ended, didn't it? Why did you call me here again?" Kaido said with a disgruntled expression, finding a seat and saying, "I'm still drunk! Do you want me to drink again? Glug glug glug..."

As Kaido spoke, he opened his sake gourd and took another big gulp.

Big Mom's face darkened, and she said, "Kaido! We're setting off tomorrow, could you drink a little less? I have something to tell you about the expedition!"

"What else is there to say?" Kaido looked at Big Mom and asked in surprise, "We're each going our own way this time. It's not impossible for us to cooperate, but it's completely unnecessary, isn't it?"

“Of course it’s necessary. Have you forgotten Brulee’s abilities?” Big Mom said with a loud laugh.

"Oh?" Kaido's eyes lit up. He asked, "You mean... to use the mirror space, like the extraterrestrial visitors, to enhance our mobility and achieve a joint attack on a single point?"

Although Big Mom didn't explain in detail, Kaido guessed her thoughts simply by mentioning Brulee.

“That’s right. If they can do that, why can’t we? As the number of enemy islands decreases, the number of their strong individuals will not decrease! Don’t forget, what we are killing now are just their clones and projections! Their real bodies are not damaged at all!” BIGMOM nodded and said seriously.

"Glug glug glug..." Kaido took another big gulp of wine, but didn't say anything.

Big Mom wasn't in a hurry; she was just waiting for Kaido to give his opinion. Her main goal was to buy time and prevent Kaido from having time to plan how to deal with the Straw Hat crew.

"So what? What are you planning to do?" Kaido asked after a moment of silence.

“It’s simple. We each launch our own attacks first, then see how many defenders the other side has. Whoever has fewer defenders, we gather our people there and attack the enemy!” BIGMOM said softly.

"Then how will the spoils be distributed? After all, we can only conquer one small island at a time!" Kaido asked the crucial question.

“That’s easy. We’ll attack this time, and then we’ll help you attack next time!” BIGMOM said casually.

However, Kaido shook his head, indicating his denial.

Because Brulee is the key figure, and she is also a member of the Big Mom Pirates, she can terminate this plan at any time, and the only ones who will suffer in the end are Kaido's Beasts Pirates!

Don't assume Kaido is brainless just because of his appearance. So, when faced with Big Mom's proposal, unless his interests can be guaranteed, he would rather fight on his own because that way he won't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by anyone.

Chapter 798 BIG MOM Goes Rampage

Faced with Kaido's question, Big Mom was momentarily at a loss for words, because she genuinely had no intention of launching a sneak attack or breaking the alliance between the two sides.

Her goal was merely to stall Kaido, not to break the alliance.

But when Kaido asked the question, they both fell silent, because they probably hadn't thought about it before, and if they hadn't talked about it earlier, they probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it later.

Now that this issue has been brought up, if it is not resolved, it will affect their cooperation. After all, pirates can never be trusted, and they are very certain of that, because that is exactly what they do.

After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes, because they really didn't have a good way to solve the problem.

Big Mom was filled with regret. If it weren't for the need to hold Kaido back, she wouldn't have started chatting with him at this moment, and she certainly wouldn't have brought up this topic casually, leading to their current predicament.

Kaido also had his own agenda. After returning, he immediately arranged for King to head towards the edge of the North Blue. His plan was exactly the same as Big Mom's. So, after receiving Big Mom's invitation, Kaido came without hesitation, all to keep Big Mom in check.

Their casual conversation has unexpectedly led to this crisis of trust.

Just as Big Mom and Kaido's new recruits were having problems, the Whitebeard Pirates were already preparing to set out again. Although Reina was worried about Robin, after he spoke with Sengoku and expressed their intentions, Sengoku neither made any promises nor refused.

Reina knew that Sengoku no longer had the power to make any decisions; all he hoped Sengoku would do was pass on a message to Sakazuki.

Sengoku did not hesitate. After hanging up Reina's Den Den Mushi, he immediately contacted the Marine Headquarters and conveyed the Whitebeard Pirates' message.

Sakazuki, of course, refused without hesitation. In his view, pirates are pirates, and there's no need to make any conditions; all that's needed is to eliminate them all.

Furthermore, if possible, he also wanted to capture Robin alive and use her to threaten the Whitebeard Pirates into working for the Navy in the North Blue.

However, all of this can only be arranged after he defeats the Straw Hat crew. If he cannot defeat the Straw Hat crew, there is no point in saying anything more.

When everything was ready, and the Navy forces in the North Blue, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Beast Pirates launched their attack on the extraterrestrial visitors at the same time, the Straw Hat Pirates and Shanks finally appeared on the border of the North Blue.

"How is this possible? These guys... they've actually set up their formation and want to fight us head-on?" When the Whitebeard Pirates landed on the enemy island, they found that the extraterrestrial visitors hadn't used any tricks or schemes, but were clearly preparing to fight them head-on.

"Is there some kind of conspiracy? Or are they planning to stall us and find a way out from somewhere else?" Jin Guduo frowned and said.

"No!" Reina stepped forward and said, "I've already contacted the other parties, and they all have similar lineups. This is going to be a tough battle, so everyone get ready!"

"Gurararara... Since they want to fight head-on, then let them have their way! They just want to show us their power! Men... kill them all!" Whitebeard roared, brandishing his naginata.

"Oh~~~"

All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates raised their weapons and charged at the enemy!

"Joz, take care of the captain!" Reina said, then led the captains into the battle.

Now, except when Whitebeard goes to the front lines to fight, Jozu basically stays by Whitebeard's side and doesn't join the battle. Reina and the other captains generally don't want Whitebeard to appear either, so Jozu is a bit speechless now.

At the same time, like the Whitebeard Pirates, the other factions also launched attacks on the extraterrestrial visitors.

However, the situation was beyond their expectations. The battle was extremely difficult, and the number of powerful extraterrestrial visitors was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Mom... something's not right! The number of their strong fighters has obviously increased. Could it be that they've abandoned the other directions and concentrated their strong fighters on our side?" During the battle, Mondor came to Big Mom's side and said with a puzzled look.

"Well, well, well... no matter what, we can't retreat now. Whoever retreats... will die!" Big Mom said with a fanatical expression, holding the sun Prometheus in her left hand, the great sword Napoleon in her right hand, and standing on the thundercloud Hera.

"Oh no, Mom seems to be getting a little too hot-blooded. Tell the officers in front to be careful not to get caught in Mom's attacks!" Perospero, the eldest son who had been by Big Mom's side, said to Montor with a worried look.

“Okay, brother, I’ll pass the message down! But the enemy numbers are now beyond our expectations. Should we continue fighting?” Montor nodded and said.

“If Mom doesn’t push us away, who dares to retreat? Let’s try fighting first! Tell everyone to be careful; if things don’t look good, don’t rush too far forward. Let the cannon fodder go first!” Perospero shook his head and said.

"it is good!"

After Montor left, Perospero used his abilities to create a giant candy monster, and then followed behind Big Mom with a worried expression.

He wasn't worried about the enemy's strength, but rather about his mother's outburst.

The biggest problem with the Big Mom Pirates is not the number of fighters, but whether Big Mom is clear-headed.

When Big Mom is in a conscious state, she is the leader of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors. A berserk Big Mom is a ticking time bomb, capable of harming others as well as herself.

When Montor passed on the order, Smoothie was the first to frown. As one of the three Sweet Commanders, she was part of the Big Mom Pirates' high-end fighting force, and she was naturally very clear about the Big Mom Pirates' weaknesses.
