One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

For some reason, he felt that the food and wine at Lei Luo's place tasted better than those in his palace.

Even after the chefs from both sides were switched, he still felt the same way.

The Lei Luo family was already used to Kaido coming to their house for meals.

Not only Kaido, but also King, Bullet, and all the captains like to come to his place for a free meal.

Leia, that arrogant little girl, goes without saying.

This girl never treated herself like an outsider; she basically ate all three meals at Lei Luo's place.

She also has her own room here.

Kaido had barely sat down when, unsurprisingly, King, Bullet, Englararic, Raja... almost all the officers of the Beasts Pirates came running over.

With so many people here, it's impossible to sit around a table and eat together anymore.

Men at one table.

Rayleigh, Kaido, King, and Bullet, along with the other captains, sat together, drinking, eating, and boasting.

Women at one table.

Stussy, Olvia, No. 18, Tengetsu, Toritoma, Matitau, Leia, and others chatted about everyday life and gossip.

The children sat at one table with the other children.

Ray and Weevil, those two little brats, have already shown the signs of being strong.

The food in front of the two disappeared quickly, and the plates and bowls were piled up high.

One-year-old Yamato sat obediently on a chair formed from a cloud, while two-year-old Robin sat beside him, holding a bowl and feeding Yamato spoonful by spoonful.

In a sea area of ​​the New World, the Celestial Dragon was successfully caught up by the "Moby Dick".

When the Celestial Dragon, whose pants were soaked with urine, was brought onto the deck, the entire Whitebeard Pirates showed no disgust whatsoever; instead, they were all beaming with joy.

They spent over seven billion Berries to buy a Celestial Dragon at the auction.

Hunting one now would be like getting over seven billion Berries for free.

Shouldn't we be happy?

The white-bearded man is like a kind old man, always sitting in his seat, drinking a little wine, watching his children laugh and play.

When the child is happy, he also shows a knowing smile.

He never pursued any wealth; his family was his greatest treasure.

Why would he risk owing the Beasts Pirates so much money to buy the Celestial Dragons?

It was so that his children would have the ability to protect themselves at sea after he was gone.

People will always grow old.

Marco left the laughing crowd and went to Whitebeard's side, asking softly, "Dad, where are we going next? Are we going to continue hunting Celestial Dragons?"

The white-bearded man took a sip of his drink, chuckled, and shook his head: "There's no need to go."

Seeing Marco frowning and looking at him with a puzzled expression, Whitebeard smiled and explained:

"The Beasts Pirates clearly split the ten Celestial Dragons into ten different directions on purpose, just to prevent one of our pirate crews from hunting them all down."

Marco understood immediately after Whitebeard said that, and pondered, "So... the Celestial Dragons in other directions should also have been hunted down by pirates, either killed or sold off."

Whitebeard nodded slightly: "Yes, so if we rush over now, it will most likely be a wasted trip."

"Moreover..."

"I also received an invitation from the Beasts Pirates; I'm going to attend their founding ceremony."

"We can't afford to waste any more time."

To be precise, they owe a certain group over 20 billion pegories, and if they don't make it to the appointment, it would be truly unacceptable.

“I understand, Dad.” Marco nodded with a smile.

At Whitebeard's command, the Moby Dick set off towards the Calm Belt.

On the "Queen's Song", the Big Mom Pirates successfully hunted down a Celestial Dragon, and the children all looked at the Celestial Dragon with great longing.

The Celestial Dragon, his hands bound, sat on the ground, fearfully pushing himself backward with his legs until he hit the fence, realizing he had nowhere to retreat.

The Celestial Dragon slowly raised his head, looking at the Big Mom Pirates with despair in his eyes.

At the same time, Katakuri also hunted down a Celestial Dragon, who was now bound hand and foot and being trampled under his feet.

Katakuri immediately pulled out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Linlin's number.

The Den Den Mushi was quickly answered, and Katakuri reported, "Mom, the Celestial Dragons have been captured."

Lingling ate her dessert and nodded with great satisfaction: "Well done, Katakuri, I knew you wouldn't let me down."

Katakuri tentatively asked, "Then... Mom, should I go hunt other Celestial Dragons next?"

Like Whitebeard, Linlin also knew exactly what the Beasts Pirates were thinking.

Linlin was already quite satisfied that the Big Mom Pirates managed to hunt down two Celestial Dragons.

Lingling popped a whole piece of dessert into her mouth, chewing and chewing: "No, my dear son..."

Chew, chew, chew: "You, come over here first..."

Chewing: "Then, we'll go attend the founding ceremony of the Beasts Pirates."

"Okay, Mom."

After hanging up the phone, Katakuri immediately ordered the pirate ship to head towards Linlin's direction.

After Katakuri's pirate ship rendezvoused with Linlin's "Queen's Song", the two pirate ships headed side by side toward the Calm Belt under Linlin's command.

Ultimately, the two "Four Emperors" pirate crews met at the edge of the Calm Belt.

The moment they met, both captains knew why the other had come.

Two of the "Four Emperors" boarded the bow of the ship.

Lingling smiled and greeted Whitebeard, "Hey, Newgate, you were invited here by that kid Kaido too, right?"

The white-bearded man nodded slightly: "Ah, Lingling, it seems you are too."

Lingling suddenly burst into laughter: "Wow... Kaido has really made something of himself now!"

Whitebeard seemed to recall the fifteen-year-old boy he had invited back then, and laughed as well: "Gurarararara... yeah."

As the two "Four Emperors" chatted and laughed, the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw an island slowly drifting down from the sky.

Kaido, Rayleigh, King, and Bullet, the four strongest warriors, came to greet them in person.

"Gentlemen, thank you for waiting. Please come in."

Chapter 173 Are you ready?

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates' ships landed on the island and, under King's Devil Fruit power, slowly floated up to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The Beasts Pirates' initial territory consisted of Wano Country, Onigashima, and Baltimore Island. Later, King moved to many other islands.

These islands, large and small, were connected into a large landmass by the effects of the Float-Float Fruit and the Fusion Fruit.

Lei Luo named it: Divine Continent.

At the same time, the Flower Capital was renamed: Divine Capital.

The rest of the place remained unchanged, mainly because Lei Luo was too lazy to think of a name.

The land of China was bustling with activity. People were overjoyed, singing and dancing, filled with anticipation for their founding ceremony.

Whitebeard squinted as he surveyed the people of this continent, his Observation Haki clearly reflecting their heartfelt joy.

Whitebeard was also born in a non-member country, and due to poverty and hunger, he went to sea to become a pirate at a young age.

Over the years, as his strength and fame grew, Whitebeard never forgot his former homeland and still sent money back every month.

That was a pure land in his heart.

He wished his hometown could be far from the flames of war, poverty, and hunger.

And Kaido witnessed all of this.

Lingling didn't feel anything special; she even started her own "Wan Guo" (World of Nations) business.

She doesn't have food cravings as often now, and the happiness index of people living in "Wan Guo" is quite good.

Although you have to surrender your lifespan, it's like trading your future life for your present life.

Rayleigh and King, along with Whitebeard and Big Mom, two of the Four Emperors, and their crew, arrived at Kaido's palace.

This was specially built by Lei Luo in imitation of his grandfather's palace.

Unfortunately, in reality, Lei Luo had only seen the Forbidden City; he had never seen any other ancient palaces.

Many crafts have been lost to time, but in the world of One Piece, they can be perfectly recreated thanks to Devil Fruits.

Two palaces were built in total.

One Kaido, one Raylo.

The things of the suzerain state are far more impressive than those of these foreign states.

Looking at the magnificent palace with its carved railings and jade steps, Whitebeard couldn't help but sigh, "That brat Kaido is really rich now!"

Thinking of the more than 20 billion Berries he still owed the Beasts Pirates, Whitebeard couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth.

When will this be completed?

Seeing this, Lingling teased, "Oh my god... Newgate, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop smiling?"

Whitebeard glared at Lingling with annoyance and walked on his own.

He's not stupid; he knows perfectly well that Lingling did it on purpose at the auction.

She actually has the nerve to ask about the Beasts Pirates now that she owes them so much money!

Lingling wasn't annoyed and followed with a smile.

People are quite happy when they do bad things. It's a bit of a shame that Newgate didn't scold her, otherwise it would have been even more fun!

Soon, they met Kaido.

Kaido greeted the newcomers with a smile: "Oh ho ho ho ho... Newgate, Linlin, welcome to the Divine Continent."

Whitebeard nodded slightly: "Ah, Kaido."

Lingling didn't stand on ceremony with Kaido, raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Well, well, well... if you're just going to welcome me, then bring out the best wine and food."

Kaido laughed heartily: "Oh ho ho ho ho... Of course, it's been prepared for you long ago."

Soon, the palace maids filed in and laid out fine wine and delicacies on the table.

Everyone took their seats, and the banquet began.

While stuffing food into her mouth, Lingling mumbled, "Kaido, this place is pretty nice."

Whitebeard also picked up his wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Kaido, the founding ceremony is tomorrow, isn't it?"

Kaido nodded: "Yes."

After finishing his drink, the white-bearded man didn't need the maids. He poured himself another large bowl of wine, took a satisfied sip, and exclaimed, "What fine wine!"

He then casually asked, "Tomorrow is October 1st. Does it have any special significance? Why was this day chosen?"

Kaido was also drinking.

It's quite rare for the first mate to be willing to bring out all the good wine and let us drink to our hearts' content.

Upon hearing Whitebeard's question, Kaido gently shook his head: "I don't know, it was the day chosen by Rayleigh. Although it doesn't have any special meaning for me, it's good that it has special meaning for our first mate."

Whitebeard was also somewhat speechless.

Although it was known that the two captains of the Beasts Pirates had a good relationship, it was still a bit astonishing that they were this close.

This is completely the captain listening to the first mate's opinion.

And it's the kind of thing where they don't ask why.
