One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 106

Without saying a word, the two sides lit the campfire.

The towering flames illuminated the excited faces of the two pirate crews.

The members of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates sat around the campfire and began to eat and drink heartily.

This wasn't the first time they'd hosted a banquet together.

Before this, when Linlin went to Wano Country, they had already met once, so they were acquainted.

Pirates are a very outgoing group; once they've had a banquet, they're considered friends, and they're all arm in arm.

Kaido took a big gulp of wine and glanced at Linlin beside him with a complicated expression.

Lingling frantically stuffed food into her mouth, mumbling incoherently, "Tofu pudding really does taste better when it's sweet!"

Lei Luo took a sip of the wine in his bowl, a half-smile playing on his lips, his eyes darting between Kaido and Linlin.

The relationship between these two people is inherently ambiguous and difficult to explain.

Later, Kaido was betrayed by himself and had a one-night stand with Linlin!

No, Kaido gave up again later!

Now things are even more tangled and messy!

Seeing that Lingling had started to gain weight, Stuart kindly advised, "Lingling, eat less dessert. You've gotten so fat!"

Lingling waved her hand dismissively: "Don't worry about the details, the only thing we can't let down is good food!"

After saying that, he buried himself in eating the dessert again.

Actually, Kaido wasn't much better; he kept drinking the wine that Lei Luo brought out, bowl after bowl.

On the other side, Quinn remained the most eye-catching person on the field, dressed in overalls and standing out from the crowd.

Olvia, Toritoma, and the other women of Lelo were roasting meat for the children.

Perospero, Jhin, and Barrett sat together.

Katakuri awakened Conqueror's Haki at the age of ten, so he didn't come to hunt the Celestial Dragons this time and stayed on Whole Cake Island with Longbread to guard the house.

As Lingling's eldest son, Perospero's status, regardless of strength, is similar to that of Jhin and Barrett, so he should naturally sit together.

Because on Ozawa Island, Jhin fought Jabba, and Barrett fought Rayleigh.

Barrett, who had always been outranked by Jhin in terms of bounty, has now reached the pinnacle of his career.

Barrett, holding a wine glass, leaned close to Jhin, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"Jin, how about that? This time I beat up the vice-captain of the Black Nose Pirates, while you only beat up Jabba, number three!"

Jhin's face immediately darkened. He knew that bastard Barrett would bring this up!

King gave Barrett a cold look. At this moment, he could only acknowledge Jabba's status: "Jabba said he is the number two in the Black Nose Pirates!"

This statement also drew sarcasm from Barrett: "What? You mean a navigator's rank is higher than a first mate?"

Ember immediately went silent.

Because that's what he used to mock Jabba.

Although it made no sense, Jhin still tried to save face: "It wasn't me who said it, it was Jabba who said it himself."

Barrett's mockery intensified: "Hahahaha... He thinks he can just say whatever he wants? I could say I'm the Battle Captain-Commander of the Beasts Pirates!"

Jin snorted coldly, turned around, and continued drinking, ignoring the beaming Barrett.

Barrett finished his drink with satisfaction and said to himself:

"Do you think the World Government and the Navy will increase our bounties after we've made such a big commotion?"

Jin nodded: "Probably."

Barrett immediately perked up: "I'm really looking forward to it! I'm going to fight the vice-captain of the Black Nose Pirates. My bounty might even exceed yours!"

Jin scoffed, "Impossible."

"Just because you say it's impossible doesn't mean it's impossible!"

"I said it's impossible, and that's final!"

Perospero is a very shrewd and diplomatic person. He can be considered the head butler of the Big Mom Pirates. He is also the one who greets guests when Big Mom holds tea parties.

But at this moment, Perospero looked at the two faces that were almost touching, pretended not to see them, and silently drank his wine by himself.

The captains were also discussing their bounties after this incident, with Old En and Raja being the most aggressive.

Like Jhin and Barrett, their faces were almost touching.

The Beasts Pirates were already used to it.

After finishing most of the food in front of her, Lingling, having enjoyed her meal to the fullest, finally got down to business:

"Well, well, well... Kaido, speaking of which, how many Celestial Dragons are you planning to give me?"

Kaido let out a burp, frowned, and asked, "How much do you want?"

Lingling laughed: "Of course, the more the better!"

Kaido immediately roared, "Don't joke around!"

Lingling wasn't annoyed by her former little brother's roar. She smiled and said, "Kaido, don't be so stingy. You captured so many Celestial Dragons. What's wrong with giving me a few more? I have so many children, and I'll have more in the future."

Lingling wasn't the typical woman who was coy; for her, having a child was as natural as eating, sleeping, and playing games.

Kaido snorted coldly: "I didn't capture Celestial Dragons to use for your children."

Lingling spread her hands and asked in return, "Then tell me, how much are you going to give me?"

The two of them tacitly turned their gazes to Lei Luo, who was happily drinking his wine to the side.

Lei Luo slowly extended his hand, spread his five fingers, and said calmly, "Five, five Celestial Dragons!"

Lingling pouted, somewhat disappointed: "What? Only five!"

Kaido, however, felt that Linlin was never satisfied; five was already quite a lot.

To put it in perspective, the Beasts Pirates have a bounty of 3 billion Berries for each living Celestial Dragon, so five Celestial Dragons would be worth 15 billion Berries.

Kaido glared at Linlin, "Five is already a lot, this is only because of our past relationship."

Lingling crossed her arms and persisted, "Five isn't enough, I have so many children."

Kaido arrogantly raised his head: "Who cares about you? You're not my child!"

Kaido refused to budge, and Lero remained silent, so Linlin had no choice but to compromise: "Five it is."

With five more, plus his second son, the Big Mom Pirates now have seven members.

Although they can't compare to the Beasts Pirates, they are still second only to the Conqueror's Haki users on the high seas.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Lei Luo suddenly snapped his fingers. Stusi understood, reached into a small door, and took out an invitation.

Stussy smiled and handed the invitation to Lingling: "Lingling, remember to come next month!"

As someone who frequently hosts tea parties, Lingling is no stranger to invitations.

I just don't understand what the Beasts Pirates are up to, and why they invited her.

Lingling opened the invitation with a puzzled look, and several large, gilded characters came into view:

The Founding Ceremony of the Celestial Empire!

Chapter 159 Acting on a whim

Actually, the name could have been changed a long time ago, since Wano Country has long been a mere shell of its former self.

Even if the name was changed before, the outside world wouldn't know.

Wano Country was already isolated from the world, and later it was even lifted into the sky by King.

If we're going to make changes, we need to let the whole world know.

Therefore, it is precisely through this Osawa Island incident, at the peak of the Beasts Pirates' fame, that they can announce to the world.

Lingling looked at the invitation in her hand, then recalled what the Beasts Pirates had done in the Great Swamp. She narrowed her eyes and gave Kaido a meaningful look:

"Kaido, do you want to become Rocks?"

Kaido raised his head, his dragon eyes radiating arrogance: "No, I will not become Rocks, I will surpass Rocks and become the true King of the World!"

At this moment, Kaido exudes an overwhelming aura of dominance.

The ambition and pride that a dragon should possess are fully embodied in him.

Lei Luo sipped the wine in his bowl with satisfaction.

The dragon is beginning to take shape!

Lingling was taken aback for a moment, but then burst into laughter: "Well, well, well... indeed, you guys are much crazier than that guy Rocks."

Kaido took a large gulp of sake, laughed wildly, and extended an invitation:

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho... How about it, Lingling, do you want to join us?"

Lingling rolled her eyes at Kaido, annoyed: "You brat, you even invited me along."

However, Lingling put away the invitation: "I will go then."

"As for joining, forget it. I already have my own pirate crew."

Kaido wasn't surprised, but he hadn't expected Linlin to join the Beasts Pirates.

An alliance is a possibility.

Nothing lasts forever.

After the banquet ended, Lingling led the five Celestial Dragons back to the "Queen's Song" and slowly left the area.

The island's campfire still burns.

Kaido watched the Queen's Song ship sail away into the distance, took a swig of sake, and laughed, "Rylo, should we invite Whitebeard?"

Lei Luo said he didn't care: "You can invite me if you want, but I'm not familiar with Whitebeard, so you'll have to do it yourself."

Kaido nodded: "Ah, leave it to me."

Lei Luo looked around and, seeing that everyone had finished eating, beckoned to Jin: "Jin, let's raise this island to the sky too."

“Yes, Mr. Lei Luo.”

Jin responded, and the island slowly rose into the air, drifting towards the Calm Belt...

While they were leisurely holding a banquet, the World Government and the Navy were busy and overwhelmed.

Although the Five Elders issued the retreat order immediately, returning to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise was not something that could be accomplished in an instant.

The Five Elders received one distress call after another from Celestial Dragons who were away from home.

They said they had been attacked by pirates.

But where would they find the manpower to stop the pirates who were recklessly hunting the Celestial Dragons?

Let alone in the case of the navy's three most powerful combat forces sinking to the bottom of the sea, their fate unknown.

Even with a full complement of personnel, the Navy is simply too busy to handle the countless attacks on Celestial Dragons!

However, thanks to the Beasts Pirates' actions, the Celestial Dragons' prestige, built up over eight hundred years, has been completely destroyed.

Saint Satan put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand and sighed heavily: "Those pirates have gone mad. No matter where they hide, it's no use. Wherever there are Celestial Dragons, they will attack!"

Masei rubbed his temples in pain, his voice weary: "Not only that, CP agents reported on the movements of the New World pirates. Those pirates are coating themselves, ready to enter the first half of the Grand Line at any time. That'll be a real headache!"

Holding a demon sword in his arms, Nasujuro asked Satan beside him, "How's it going with the Navy? Have you managed to capture Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr yet?"

Satan Saint shook his head: "Not yet."

Vocuri Saint continued, "Let the air force mobilize all its forces to search. Without them in command, the sea will go berserk."

Satan nodded: "I know."

Piet Saint suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, have you ever thought about this question?"

The others looked at him with suspicion: "What do you want to say?"

Pirate Saint explained in detail: "The power of pirates has developed too fast. You have all witnessed the strength of the Beast Pirates. In addition, there are the Black Nose Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and so on."
