One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

At this time, the battle between Kawamatsu and Drake had just ended. 

"Captain Drake!" Coby called out as he saw Drake lying on the ground.

"Hmph, so you were fighting against us, and Kaido was released?" Kawamatsu said, looking at Coby heavily before noticing Kaido and the others behind him.

With Kaido and the others released and the seastone chains removed, Kawamatsu and his men couldn't stop them. They could only retreat and eventually escape quickly.

Coby checked on Drake, who was seriously injured but still alive, and immediately helped him up.

"Isn't this Drake? You seem to know him?" Kaido noticed something was off and soon realized that Drake was a Marine who had been undercover.

"Alright, I didn't expect Drake to stay hidden for so long. Marine really are good at pulling off such a big scheme," Kaido said, sounding a bit displeased.

"Kaido-san, let's do business first, the most important thing is to deal with Whitebeard." Coby said.

"You're right, I would like to settle this account with Drake if I have a chance later." Kaido agreed, prioritizing their current goal.

Under Coby's guidance, Kaido and his group headed from the Flower Capital to the battlefield where the Marine and Whitebeard Pirates were fighting.

As Coby led Kaido and the others, several figures observed them from the shadows.

"That's Kaido and Big Mom!" Apoo said in surprise.

"Kaido and the others have been released. It must be part of Marine's plan. They're trying to cooperate against Whitebeard. Whitebeard is indeed a serious threat," Urouge added.

"The prophecy is coming true," Hawkins said calmly.

"Hey, can you verify this prediction? Whitebeard isn't really in danger, is he?" Crocodile asked, grabbing Hawkins by the collar.

"The prediction about Whitebeard has proven impossible; his ability has exceeded my prediction," Hawkins said.

"So, Whitebeard isn't in danger?" Crocodile asked, stunned.

"I didn't say that," Hawkins shrugged.

"You're hopeless," Crocodile said, pretending to hit Hawkins.

"I think we should help the Whitebeard Pirates. It's better than just standing around," Bonney suggested.

"You're not seeing the big picture. If we rush into the battle now, we'll just draw Marine's attention. It's better to stay hidden, gather information, and quietly take action," Crocodile said.

"Then what should we do now?" Bonney asked.

"Marines have brought many warships this time. If we destroy them, we can weaken their power," Crocodile suggested.

"Well, that makes sense. Marines are focused on Whitebeard right now, so they probably won't expect anyone to attack their warships," Apoo agreed.

So, under Crocodile's leadership, they quietly moved toward the coast without any complicated plans.

They believed that Marine's battleships were crucial for battlefield command and could greatly impact Marine's operations.

...

Meanwhile, on the front lines, the battle between Marine and the Whitebeard Pirates rages on. Marine's soldiers are showing powerful strength with their powerful weapons, while the Whitebeard Pirates are relying on their captain's immense strength.

Support from powerful figures like Enel, Marco, and Katakuri is also present on the battlefield.

Yet, no one is exhausted. Everyone fights for their beliefs. Each fallen warrior once held the conviction that their cause was worth dying for.

Many people in Wanokuni watched from a distance on a high mountain, seeing the Whitebeard Pirates desperately fighting Marine. 

They were moved, knowing that the Whitebeard Pirates had just rescued them from Kaido and were now facing so-called Marine justice.

The attack was something the residents didn't want to see. They all hopped from the bottom of their hearts that the war would end, as war means death.

"This time, Whitebeard-sama came to fight Kaido and paid a huge price."

"Yeah, they came to deal with Kaido and Big Mom, and then the Marines attacked. I really don't know what to say."

"Whitebeard-sama is our hero in Wanokuni. I hope he will always be a symbol of our strength and continue to protect us."

"At this moment, I truly feel like a member of Whitebeard's crew. Even if I sacrifice myself in this battle, it won't be a waste."

Many residents were deeply moved by the fierce battle. Seeing the Whitebeard Pirates fight so bravely, they couldn't help but feel a strong urge to support them.

However, these ordinary residents could only watch from a distance. They had no way to contribute to the fight.

Even if they are close to the battlefield, they risk being caught in the crossfire. All they can do is hold Whitebeard as their lifelong hero.

Seeing the battlefield, Kaido first thought of joining the fight to cause chaos. They wanted to attack Whitebeard's pirates first to satisfy Kaido's desire for revenge.

But after noticing Kaido's idea, Coby immediately stopped him 

"Boy, what are you doing? Why are you blocking me? I'm going to help Marine kill the Whitebeard Pirates." Kaido said with dissatisfaction.

"No, the Whitebeard Pirates already have Marine to deal with. Our priority is to defeat Whitebeard quickly, or our plans will fail," 

Coby said urgently, trying to suppress Kaido's desire for revenge.

Coby knew that if Kaido and his crew joined the battlefield, they would likely massacre the Whitebeard Pirates. 

Even though he was a Marine, he didn't want to see that happen.

Moreover, Kaido might not care about Marine casualties once he starts. Many Marines could be killed or injured, so Coby felt it was important to prevent Kaido from joining the fight.

"Huh, okay. Dealing with Whitebeard is more important," Kaido agreed, giving up his idea.
