Thinking of this, Kaido's lips curled up slightly.

Unfortunately, Caesar and Quinn only created a vaccine to prevent the Tyrant virus, but did not develop a treatment.

Otherwise, he could have simply intercepted the job and recruited a group of formidable subordinates here.

Forget it.

The New World may not have much else, but pirates are everywhere, so there's nothing to regret!

And so, with Kaido filled with anticipation, the seemingly ordinary night passed in a joyful atmosphere.

Before we knew it, it was the morning of the second day.

As agreed, the captains of those pirate crews gathered all the surviving pirates near the Going Merry.

The noise would soon wake up the Straw Hat crew who were sleeping on the deck.

Usopp, still half-asleep, sat up and looked out of the ship in confusion, wondering who was disturbing his sweet dreams.

But the next second, his eyes suddenly widened, and he instantly regained consciousness.

"Everyone... wake up!!!"

"Wake up, everyone!!!"

Somewhat flustered, Usopp stood up and hurriedly woke up the others on the deck.

Even Kaido and the others who were pretending to sleep were affected and slowly opened their eyes.

The next moment, Usopp rushed to Red's side and shouted:

“Crimson, those pirates from yesterday… those pirates…”

"Oh, those giants, right?"

Red interrupted Usopp before he could finish speaking.

As a powerful sensory user, even while asleep, he could still sense the pirates continuously arriving from all directions of the island.

However, these pirates posed no threat or hostility to them, so naturally they did not trigger the subconscious alarms of Red and the others.

Seeing Usopp's panicked expression, Red couldn't help but sigh at him:

"Speaking of which, Usopp, you're a man who can control billions of insectoids and has been through several major battles..."

Why are you still so flustered?

"Ah...hahaha...this, isn't this too intense?"

Usopp smiled shyly.

There's nothing I can do; that's just his personality.

Like Luffy, no matter what his identity becomes or how strong he becomes, he will always maintain his original mindset.

Even if this isn't exactly a good mindset.

Red shook his head helplessly, then walked to the railing and looked down.

He quickly understood why Usopp had suddenly panicked like that.

As the saying goes, "A thousand people are boundless and limitless, ten thousand people are connected to the heavens and the earth."

Although countless pirates were killed or injured in the previous riots.

Even so, there were just too many pirates attending the festival this time!

Even with many deaths, the number of pirates gathered around the Going Merry at this moment still exceeds 20,000!

This number even surpasses the current total number of pirates in the Straw Hat Pirates!

If they could absorb all of this power, the Straw Hat crew's manpower shortage in the New World would be greatly alleviated.

Even doubling the territory of the Pokémon Ocean wouldn't be a problem!

"This pirate festival is really interesting!"

Akame glanced subconsciously at Kaido, who was pretending not to know what was happening, and grinned, secretly chuckling.

He wasn't afraid that these pirates wouldn't want to join the Pokémon Pirates.

With Kaido as a huge asset, these pirates only need to survive and continue sailing the seas...

Joining the Straw Hat crew is their only option!

Chapter 423 Teacher Kai, your secret has been exposed! (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Hmph~ Interesting!?"

Hearing the crimson figure's soft murmur from the corner, Kaido's face flashed with disdain.

It's almost time.

In just a few hours, you'll see what real fun is!

Gazing at the sun on the horizon, Kaido's heart twisted into a chilling, razor-sharp smile.

He couldn't wait... to see the Straw Hat crew's miserable state after their defeat!

Time passed slowly.

As the Straw Hat crew gradually regained consciousness, the number of pirates gathering around the Going Merry also increased!

In the end, the number of people reached a staggering 25,000!

Looking down at the surging crowd below, the Straw Hat crew members standing on high ground displayed different expressions.

Although they have become the Four Emperors, they control an entire sea area and dozens of islands in the New World.

But when they saw this group of pirates gathered here, about to become their subordinates, their minds couldn't help but wander.

The first to speak was Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.

He pouted and said with a troubled expression:

"With so many people, how much food will they have to eat?!"

"Hey, Crimson? We're not going to have to provide them with lunch today, are we?!"

Luffy turned his head and asked with a displeased look.

He clearly hadn't realized how impressive it was to be in charge of feeding so many people.

Red, equally surprised by Luffy's peculiar thought process, paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and replied to Luffy:

"I think so."

"And not only today's lunch, but also today's dinner, and tomorrow's and even further into the future..."

"Huh!?" Luffy, feeling like the sky was about to fall, opened his mouth wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Perhaps, it's only when it comes to food that he can act like this.

"Ha ha……"

Without a moment's hesitation for Luffy's sake, the crimson figure flashed and arrived directly above all the pirates.

"quiet!!!"

Boom!

The voice, imbued with supernatural power, boomed like a bell, suddenly appearing in everyone's minds, instantly silencing the noisy pirates who were like people in a bustling market.

Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Crimson's eyes, and his gaze swept over each and every head.

Of course, he wouldn't take all 25,000 people away.

After all, many of the pirates are wicked bastards who do all sorts of evil deeds, the kind of people that even if the Straw Hat Pirates lowered their moral standards, they still couldn't accept.

Fortunately, the power of the Aura has the ability to screen people's good and evil. The Red Society will find out the most unforgivable ones, mark them, and then send them to the Navy to give Issho a political achievement.

We should at least make up for the four naval warships that Hawkeye cut off.

Without any achievements, how can Yixiao go back and explain himself?

Soon, under Crimson's command, all the pirates lined up in an orderly fashion.

Those who can find their own organization will be organized into pirate crews; those who cannot find their own organization will be organized into a square formation.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, even the usually arrogant and domineering pirates, known for their freedom and unruliness, have to behave like obedient elementary school students participating in group exercises, letting the Crimson One do as they please.

After Red successfully sorted and arranged the pirates and distributed basic living supplies, it was already noon.

At Luffy's urging, the Straw Hat Pirates' brunch officially began.

Because there were outsiders present, they still ate at the dining table on the deck of the Merry.

Seeing the crimson petals falling from the sky, Luffy quickly reached out and shouted:

"Hey, Crimson, come and eat first!"

"You guys~"

Seeing Luffy already indulging in a feast, the returning Red couldn't help but mutter a complaint:

"The food at yesterday's banquet was enough to feed three sea kings, yet you still managed to eat more today..."

"Did the Nika Fruit turn your stomach into a spatial artifact too!?"

Even so, at Luffy's invitation, Akame took a seat as well.

But the next moment, he curiously glanced at the outer edge of the dining table.

The four Kaido members who were playing music and singing with them yesterday now had inexplicably cold expressions, and they wouldn't even come close when Luffy invited them to come and eat and drink together.

Seeing this, Red knew that the time Kaido and his crew were waiting for was almost here.

With a thought, he opened the attribute panel for Luffy and the others.

Sure enough, an "Abnormal" icon appeared in the Straw Hat crew's information interface.

It's important to know that both poisoning and burns require a certain level of damage to Luffy and his crew's bodies before the system will recognize them.

Ordinary symptoms wouldn't be flagged by the system, which shows that the virus developed by Kaido and his crew is truly powerful.

But that's all...
