One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Chapter 22: 22 The Emperors On The Move



Every corner of the world.

After Marine announced Ace's execution, everyone knew that the Whitebeard Pirates and Marine were headed for a battle.

as predicted....

Shortly after the first news broke, people received another update.

The 23 warships keeping an eye on the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, and the Whitebeard Pirates vanished from the sea.

The news caused an immediate shockwave when it was announced.

...…

An unnamed island in the New World.

A fleet of three-masted sailing ships lined the coast, each adorned with a skull flag sporting double horns.

If other pirates see this flag, they will be surprised.

This flag belongs to one of the Four Emperors of the New World—Kaido the Beast.

Numerous boats are currently docked along the island's side.

Without a doubt, Kaido itself is probably also on the island.

There are rocky areas somewhere on the island.

A tall and strong middle-aged man with a black shawl, horns, and a beard resembling a dragon's beard was leaning against a boulder, enjoying a sip of wine.

The man leaned against the boulder nonchalantly, without a care in the world.

However, a powerful Haki emanated from his body, revealing the immense strength of the man.

Beast Kaido!

He is one of the Four Emperors of the New World!

He is known as the strongest creature in the sea, on land, and in the air, surpassing all other living beings.

As a pirate, he faced defeat 7 times and was captured 18 times while challenging the Marine and other Four Emperors alone. He endured over a thousand tortures and was sentenced to death 40 times.

But despite all that, he is still alive!

"So Old Man Whitebeard has already left?"

Kaido spoke drunkly, lifting up the wine gourd and pouring the wine into his mouth.

"Twenty-three warships monitoring Whitebeard were destroyed."

"Furthermore, they weren't found in Whitebeard's territory. It's obvious they're heading to Marineford!"

Jack The Drought said. He is tall and strong man, with long horn on its head and a mask covering his mouth

"Really?"

Kaido's eyes snapped open, and he tightly squeezed the wine gourd, causing the wine to spill all over.

But he paid no mind, and rose to his feet in an unsteady manner.

The drunken gaze became extremely sharp.

"Do you want to do it?"

Jack the Drought said excitedly.

"Of course!"

"Old man Whitebeard is not comparable to other idiots. He is a real monster. Once he goes to Marineford, he will definitely turn it upside down!"

"I really want to see how the last glory of the old age died out!"

Kaido's expression turned fierce as he strode towards the massive ship by the sea:"But that old man Whitebeard isn't a match for the Marines. If he's willing to sacrifice his life for a little boy, then I'll claim his territory instead!"

New World, Four Emperors stand side by side!

Every emperor has his own territory!

With Whitebeard and the Marines facing off, it's the perfect opportunity for the other Emperors to strengthen their own strength.

With this rare opportunity before him, Kaido won't let it slip away!

...…..

A certain sea area in the New World.

A three-masted sailing ship adorned with two red-barred skull flags sailed upon the tranquil sea.

On the ship, a group of crew members sat on the ground, engaged in what appeared to be a discussion.

Among them was a fit man with short red hair and three scars on his left eye. He sat at the center, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

Red-hair Shanks!

He also one of the Four Emperors of the New World!

He once served as an apprentice in the Roger Pirates. When the Roger Pirates disbanded, he formed the Red Hair Pirates and claimed his position in the New World a few years ago!

"The worrisome thing has occurred!"

Red-hair Shanks sighed.

"What Whitebeard cares most about is his relatives. Marine caught the fire fist Ace. With Whitebeard's character, he would never ignore it!"

"But if Whitebeard is killed in this battle and the sea's balance is disrupted, the world will plunge into chaos."

"It seems….. A new era is coming!"

Deputy Captain Benn Beckman, with his gray hair, long face, pointed chin, straight nose, and distinct facial features, spoke slowly.

"New Era?"

Lucky Roo, a chubby crew member sporting small colored sunglasses, flashed a smile.: "The so-called new era is nothing but a time when a bunch of scoundrels roam the seas, burning, killing, and looting in the name of treasure hunting. This new era reeks of nothing but foulness!"

"Don't say that!"

"But there are still some good newcomers on the sea, don't you think so... Captain?"

Yasopp, his braid dirty and tousled, smiled as he glanced at the red-haired figure beside him.

"indeed!"

The red-haired man's face lit up with a smile as he thought of Luffy, but soon his expression turned serious:"But now is not the time to talk about the new era. According to the news, Kaido is preparing to attack Whitebeard's territory!"

"Humph...."

"Even though he possesses an indestructible body, he's nothing more than a despicable villain who causes chaos. Kaido never dared to make a move against Whitebeard territory while he was still there. The moment Whitebeard is gone, he launches an attack without hesitation. Can someone so treacherous truly be called one of the Four Emperors?"

Yasopp snorted.

There's a strong sense of disdain towards Kaido's actions.

"In this sea, there is no place for morality. Since the time of Roger, strength has always been respected."

"That's why Kaido was able to rise to the position of one of the Four Emperors!"

"Even though Kaido is despicable, if he acquires Whitebeard's territory, his power will surpass everyone else, and the balance that has finally been formed will also be broken!"

Benn Beckman said quietly while smoking a cigarette.

"Then we…"

Lucky Roo took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and glanced at the Red-hair absentmindedly.

"The balance that is finally formed can't be easily broken by Kaido!"

"Moreover, Whitebeard is also my friend, how can I allow a hungry wolf to loot his treasures while he is away!"

The red hair stood up and drew his sword sharply: "Since Kaido wants to attack Whitebeard's territory, he must pass our crew first!"

Upon hearing this, the group on the boat revealed confident smiles!

Since Whitebeard is not here!

Then let them be Kaido opponents!

Seeing that the crew didn't object, the Captain Red-Hair Pirates walked to the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance, and sighed silently.

"I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to share a drink with you... Whitebeard!"
