One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 117: One person is enough!

Kaido's voice was full of mockery.

In his mind, this old woman, who was also one of the Four Emperors, couldn't possibly be contacting him just to reminisce about the past.

Between the thrones of the cake castle, the air was so cold that ice crystals could fall from it.

Charlotte Linlin held the Den Den Mushi, her fat face flashing a smile that alternated between madness and scheming, exuding a sinister aura.

"Kaido, stop talking nonsense."

Her voice was shrill and cold, without the slightest hint of politeness.

"You know that brat named Chen Ye, the guy from Marineford, the one with the 7.5 billion bounty, very well, don't you?"

On the other end of the phone, Kaido seemed to have taken another big gulp of wine.

Glug, glug...

"Oh, hehehe... Of course!"

"How could I not know a monster that could drive away the Five Elders!"

Kaido's voice had lost some of its drunkenness, replaced by the excitement of a wild beast catching the scent of its prey.

"What happened to him? Did he run off to your place?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte Linlin's teeth were grinding together.

"He killed Perospero and is now marching on my kingdom!"

"And he even threatened to take my head!"

There was a moment of dead silence on the other end of the phone after he said that.

Only heavy breathing remained.

next second.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh—!!!"

A burst of laughter, a hundred times wilder and more excited than before, erupted, nearly cracking the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up denial mushi).

Kaido seemed to have heard the most interesting thing in the world!

"Interesting! So interesting!"

Kaido's voice was filled with a bloodthirsty desire.

"Lingling, you old woman, do you want me to come over and lend a hand?"

A sinister glint flashed across Charlotte Linlin's face.

"That's right!"

A man like that could stop even the Five Elders and those trashy Marines!

I definitely can't do it all by myself!

"We need to join forces, lay a trap across the land, and kill him!"

"If you're willing to come, I'll tell you a huge secret!"

"The ancient weapon 'Poseidon' is on Fish-Man Island! It's the mermaid princess named Shirahoshi!"

"Kill Chenye, and the Ancient Weapons... are yours!"

In order to drag Kaido into this mess, Charlotte Linlin offered a bargaining chip that she thought she couldn't refuse.

however.

Kaido's answer, however, was completely beyond her expectations.

"Oh ho ho ho... Ancient weapons? I don't care what kind of thing they are!"

Kaido's voice suddenly rose, filled with the most primal desire for battle!

"I'm only interested in that man named Chen Ye!"

"The ultimate life is one where you can have a good, satisfying fight with a monster of this caliber, and then die!"

"Lingling! Wait for me!"

"I'm taking my strongest officers with me right now, and heading straight for your Tales of Universe!"

"Oh, hehehe! We can't miss such an interesting banquet!"

Click.

Kaido unilaterally hung up the phone.

Charlotte Linlin froze on the spot, then her fat face squeezed out an even more distorted smile.

madman!

Kaido is indeed a complete battle maniac!

but……

That's perfect!

"Pass on my orders!"

Charlotte Linlin roared at Katakuri and the others.

"All hands on alert! Prepare to welcome the Beasts Pirates, and... our most distinguished guests!"

"Yes, Mom!"

Katakuri and the others responded in unison, their expressions extremely solemn.

. . . . .

at the same time.

Fishman Island, Dragon Palace.

"Chen Ye..."

Marco stepped forward, his expression serious.

"Although Perospero has been dealt with, the matter is far from over."

"That crazy woman Charlotte Linlin will definitely not let this go."

His gaze swept over everyone present, and his voice was very low.

"We all know the strength of the Big Mom Pirates."

"Soldiers Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and dozens of powerful children, with countless pirate crews under their command."

"This is a terrifying force capable of rivaling the Whitebeard Pirates at their peak!"

Marco took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rising.

"I suggest we immediately assemble our entire fleet!"

"While Dad's still alive, let's launch a full-scale attack and take the initiative to conquer the Land of Ten Thousand!"

"Let's settle things once and for all with the Big Mom Pirates! Let everyone in the New World see what happens to those who dare to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Marco's suggestion instantly ignited everyone's passion!

That's right!

The Whitebeard Pirates are never afraid of any challenge!

Neptune and the three princes were also very excited. If they could completely eliminate Big Mom, this major threat, it would be a great thing for Fishman Island!

however.

"no."

Chen Ye's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable determination.

He rejected Marco's suggestion.

Why?

Marco was taken aback.

Chen Ye carefully put away the nautical chart and looked at him calmly.

There are two reasons.

"First, you are too slow."

"Once we've assembled our fleet and sailed to Wan Guo, they'll have a feast ready for us."

"Charlotte Linlin has enough time to lay a trap, and even unite with other forces."

Chen Ye paused for a moment, then gave the second, and most important, reason.

"Secondly, it's too noisy."

"Dad needs to rest, and the crew members' injuries from the Marineford War haven't fully healed yet."

"The Whitebeard Pirates cannot withstand another battle on the scale of the Marineford War."

"and……"

Chen Ye's gaze shifted to Neptune and the tense guards behind him.

Fishman Island also needs to be guarded.

"Once our main force leaves, who can guarantee that a second or third pirate crew won't take advantage of the situation?"

Chen Ye's words!

That left everyone speechless.

Because what he said was true.

"Then... what should we do?"

"Are we just going to let it go like this? Let that crazy woman continue to act so arrogantly?"

Silence fell once again inside the main hall.

All eyes were on Chen Ye.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Ye extended a finger and gently shook it.

"No."

"Of course we can't just let it go like this."

"My meaning is very simple..."

Under the shocked, bewildered, and incredulous gazes of everyone, Chen Ye spoke, uttering a statement that shocked everyone in the entire Dragon Palace City.

"I can go by myself."

boom!!!

Neptune's massive body jolted violently, his eyes widening in shock!

The three princes gaped open, their jaws nearly dislocated!

Marco froze completely, wondering if he had misheard!

"What...what did you say?"

"Alone?! Traveling to all corners of the world?!"

"Chen Ye! Are you crazy?! That's Big Mom's stronghold!"

Marco roared in disbelief.

That's an iron fortress that the Four Emperors have been building for decades! It's a den of dragons and tigers!

Going alone?

Isn't that just suicide?!

"I'm not crazy."

He looked at Marco, who was looking anxious, and his voice was full of absolute confidence.

"Don't worry, Marco."

You know my strength and methods better than anyone, don't you?

"You, your father, and everyone else should rest and recuperate here."

"By the way, keep an eye on Fishman Island for me."

"As for the Kingdom of Ten Thousand..."

I'll be right back!

She's just a Big Mom; she can't cause any big waves!

This indescribable confidence instantly dispelled all the worries in everyone's hearts.

They looked at Chen Ye, the man with a bounty of 7.5 billion who single-handedly shook up the world order.

yes……

Trying to understand him using common sense is the biggest mistake in itself.

Chen Ye said no more. He turned around and his gaze fell on the huge figure that had been hiding behind the pillar, peeking at them with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

The Little Mermaid, Shirahoshi.

He walked over slowly.

Bai Xing trembled with fright, shrinking her enormous body even tighter.

Chen Ye stopped in front of her, revealing a gentle smile.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was very soft.

In his powerful Observation Haki perception, he knew that within this timid, crybaby princess lay a power capable of destroying the world.

Ancient weapon... Poseidon.

"Soon, you will be able to live freely in the real sunshine, just as your mother hoped."

Chen Ye said softly.

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out of the hall without lingering.

"Captain Marco, I'm leaving Fishman Island in your care."

"Wait for me to come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

From the sea outside the Dragon Palace, Chen Ye's figure slowly rose into the air.

next second.

boom--!

A dazzling, intensely hot, golden sun, too bright to look at with the naked eye, suddenly appeared in the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters!

The light dispelled all the darkness, illuminating the entire sea as if it were daytime!

Without pausing, the golden sun transformed into a golden streak that pierced through the heavens and earth, breaking through layers of seawater at a speed completely imperceptible to the naked eye, and shooting rapidly toward the surface of the sea!

Only the entire Dragon Palace and all the fish-men standing there dumbfounded remained.

Marco stared blankly at the golden light that disappeared above the sea, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words in a voice only he could hear.

"Dad..."

Are we... witnessing the birth of... a God?
