----

Wanokuni, Onigashima.

The island is always covered in thick clouds, occasionally illuminated by thunderbolts that make the pirates' faces turn pale.

Boom! Kaido raised the sake gourd marked with the symbol "天" and uncorked it. The clear sake flowed out, filling the air with a rich aroma.

As Kaido was about to enjoy his daily drink, a sudden and urgent phone call interrupted the tranquility.

Pere~Pere~Pere~Pere~

"Hmm?"

Kaido was surprised, tilting his head to see the buzzing den-den mushi in the darkness.

The distinctive features of long eyelashes, purple eyeshadow, and bold red lips make for a highly recognizable appearance.

"Linlin? What does she want from me?"

After pondering for a moment, Kaido eventually answered the call.

"Mama Mama! Why'd it take you so long to pick up, Kaido!"

Big Mom's devilish laughter echoed from the den-den mushi, and she seemed a bit annoyed.

Even though the current Kaido is no weaker than Charlotte Linlin in terms of strength.

But, as the former big sister, she still holds an unexplained sense of superiority when looking down on Kaido. Perhaps it's the arrogance of an elder sibling.

"What is it, Linlin, I don't have time to waste with you!"

Kaido was blunt, loudly dismissing Big Mom. He cared little for etiquette, especially now, deeply immersed in the allure of alcohol. The scent of the wine intoxicated him, making him less inclined to entertain this elderly woman. A couple of sentences were all he'd spare to save face.

"Mama Mama! You are getting wings, Kaido!"

On the other end of the line, Big Mom's expression froze momentarily. However, keeping her purpose in mind, she managed to suppress her anger and continued,

"Have you forgotten you owe me a significant favor!"

"...So, what's your point? I've already consumed that thing!"

Kaido raised his hand, taking a sip of wine, pausing briefly before adding, "I had nothing to do with Whitebeard's territory, but I handed it all over to you, old woman!"

He harbors no interest in Whitebeard's territory; his sole aim has always been clear.

To establish a lawless pirate empire and become the Joyboy who reshapes the world!

"Mama Mama!! Your words might deceive others, but do you think I'll buy it?"

Big Mom mocked with disdain.

Decades ago, she knew Kaido wasn't one to abide by laws; otherwise, she wouldn't have bestowed upon him the Devil Fruit!

"Let's form an alliance!!"

Cutting straight to the point, Big Mom stated her purpose without unnecessary pleasantries.

"Now, you're well aware that Whitebeard fell at the hands of the Marines, and survival in the New World has become increasingly challenging."

She's fully awake to the situation, acknowledging that the Charlotte family's influence has expanded, having absorbed some of Whitebeard's territory.

Yet, this newfound power is only temporary.

As long as the Marines target Big Mom without the constraints of the World Government, they stand little chance against the onslaught!

It must be noted that only when Big Mom is satisfied with her sweets can she truly exhibit the eccentricity befitting a qualified pirate emperor.

"...Why should I collaborate with you? I'm settled in Wanokuni, and Marine can't breach its terrain barriers!"

Kaido slowly lowered the nearly raised wine gourd, his tone significantly calmer.

However, he remained highly cautious and didn't readily agree to Big Mom's proposition.

After all, among pirates, the most unreliable bond is often an alliance, with betrayal being the prevailing theme.

Especially when dealing with the woman on the other end of the phone.

"Mama Mama! You're so naive, Kaido!"

Big Mom sneered, fully aware of Kaido's apprehensions.

"Marine has never been able to navigate freely in the Calm Belt before. The World Government possesses Dr. Vegapunk, who claims to be five hundred years ahead in worldly wisdom!"

She had long coveted Vegapunk, and once Caesar Clown's human body enlargement project succeeds, she aims to add yet another race to her dominion!

"Moreover, that guy Hakuryu possesses the same ability as Shiki. Flying over the so-called natural barrier is a piece of cake, you know. Mama Mama!"

"You need to think it through, Kaido!"

"Hakuryu..."

At the mention of this name, Kaido instinctively touched the massive scar on his chest.

Almost cutting his entire body in half, it was a more severe wound than the one Oden inflicted on him back then!

"It's fine to form an alliance, but you can't come to Wanokuni yourself, or else..."

"I'll kill you!"

Making a firm decision, Kaido's expression suddenly turned fierce as he issued a stern warning to Big Mom.

"Mama Mama! Are you threatening me..."

Click! ! !

Before Big Mom could finish her sentence, a busy tone resonated from the microphone.

Apparently, she was abruptly hung up on.

"...."

Boom—! ! !

With a gloomy expression, Big Mom crushed the den-den mushi in front of her, and green juice splattered across the opulent hall.

"Homies!"

"Here, Mama!"

The once flat floor suddenly warped, revealing a human face that excitedly shouted towards Big Mom.

"Clean this up."

"Yes, Mama!"

On the other end, Kaido swiftly ended the call, took a moment to think, and then shouted loudly:

"Prometheus!!"

.....

"Another stunningly beautiful collection, absolutely flawless!"

A woman with a long nose, clad in peculiar attire that perfectly accentuated her curves, leisurely observed the slumbering girl in front of her. Her slender fingers gracefully moved, gesturing over the girl's body.

A lecherous delight adorned the heavily made-up face.

"Hey, imagine peeling off this beautiful skin while she sleeps. I believe her expression upon waking from the pain would be even more captivating!"

The woman's face displayed a sort of intoxicated expression, as if reveling in some peculiar pleasure. However, her words sent shivers down one's spine.

"Lady Catarina, do you truly intend to skin her alive..."

A recently joined subordinate wore an expression of discomfort and spoke timidly.

"Huh?! Are you challenging me?"

Catarina Devon's face suddenly darkened, and she glared fiercely at the other party.

"No no no.. Only such beauty befits your title as Crescent Moon Hunter, Lady Catarina!"

The companion on the side sensed the tension in the air and quickly intervened to ease the situation.
