Chapter 44: Tension in the New World

After a few days of nothing happening, a big news spread throughout the world: Teach, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, defected after killing his own fourth division captain.

The main forces are trembling.

...

Navy Headquarters, Marineford!

In the conference room, Sengoku, who was at the top of the board, finally showed a smile. The things with the Beast Pirates made him frown, and now he finally heard good news in favor of the Marines.

"The Whitebeard Pirates have just been attacked by the Beast Pirates. The loss is not small, and the blow to morale is also extremely severe."

"The current Whitebeard Pirates must be severely damaged and depressed to the extreme."

Akainu spoke with a deep voice and said the possible situation of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Sengoku knew what Akainu wanted to do and planned to take the opportunity to continue suppressing the Whitebeard Pirates. He said, "Now, the focus of the Marines is not on the Whitebeard Pirates, but on the Beast Pirates and their scientific disaster. That's what the Marines should pay attention to."

"In addition, the transport of Celestial Gold has recently arrived. Akainu, Kizaru, this time, you are responsible for this task."

When Akainu saw that the marshal's decision was different from his own, he couldn't help but darken his face and didn't say a word.

When Kizaru heard that Sengoku wanted him to go on a mission, he was reluctant in every possible way, and said with a twisted mouth, "Sengoku-san, I don't think two admirals are needed for this. Since the collapse of the Rocks Pirates, there have been no people who dare to play with the idea of the Tenryubito's gold."

"Even among the Four Emperors' crews, I think Vice Admirals are suitable for this type of task."

Kizaru, being Kizaru, quickly passed the ball.

Sengoku's tone suddenly turned cold, "To be prepared for danger in times of safety, Celestial Gold is extremely important. Once something changes, the World Government will inevitably hold us responsible. I cannot bear such responsibility..."

Kizaru had no choice but to give up and accept the mission this time.

Soon, Akainu and Kizaru left the conference room...

...

Totto Land!

Whole Cake Island

Big Mom was very excited after receiving the news that Blackbeard killed Thatch, the fourth division captain, and betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates.

"That old Whitebeard must be desperate right now!"

"Hahaha, mama, mama..." Big Mom can imagine how bad her old war buddy who likes to play "family games" is feeling right now.

Along with the fact that Kaido led the Beast Pirates and attacked the Whitebeard Pirates and turned their hideout into ruins, Big Mom felt that now was a good opportunity to take some action.

She looked at Katakuri and said, "Katakuri, call all those guys, we're going to start expanding our territory."

Under Katakuri's summons, the other two sweet generals, as well as the main figures, arrived at the main hall to meet.

Seeing that all her children who were in Whole Cake had arrived, Big Mom gave a decisive order, "Now that a series of changes have occurred in the Whitebeard Pirates, morale is bound to be low. This is a good opportunity for us to take action."

"Each of you leads your troops, starting at the intersection between our nations and the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, eroding the Whitebeard Pirates' territory..."

Big Mom smiled brightly, and her eyes revealed absolute confidence.

With the combination of the Senzu Bean and the Universal Capsule this time, she will definitely make a big wave and expand Totto Land.

Her children below had no opinion.

After getting the Senzu Bean, they really want to make a big wave, to test how cool a war with these beans will be.

Big Mom looked at the backs of all her leaving children and sneered. She couldn't help but look towards the site of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Old Newgate, you've been sitting on the throne for too long, even Roger hasn't been there that long, it's time to step down!"

"Mama... mama..."

...

Elsewhere,

The Red Hair Pirates are now beginning to attack the true combat force of the Beast Pirates, but in order not to disturb Kaido and trigger a war, Shanks chose to attack on a relatively small scale.

Soon, they also received news that the Whitebeard Pirates had changed.

"I did not expect Whitebeard to treat his subordinates like children, and for them to choose to betray him." Yasopp sighed.

"It's normal! Don't forget, we're pirates and us pirates are a bunch of selfish guys!" Benn Beckman mocked and said.

"Deputy captain, does that mean you're selfish too?" someone joked.

"... "

Although everyone felt sorry for what happened to the Whitebeard Pirates, after all, they belonged to different factions, so they didn't take it too seriously and started joking around.

Only their captain looked very solemn after seeing the news.

"This guy..."

Shanks couldn't help but think of the first time he met the Whitebeard Pirates, when he and Buggy were still apprentices of the Roger Pirates, Buggy told him that Blackbeard was a monster who could stay awake for three days and three nights.

At first, he didn't care too much, until he met Blackbeard, who left him with three scars on his eyes, Shanks realized that Blackbeard was not easy at all.

This guy has been deliberately hiding, planning his own plans and steadily advancing...

Shanks had a feeling that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, he called a newcomer who had just joined the Red Hair Pirates.

The subordinate came forward with a confused look and asked his captain what was going on.

Shanks didn't say much either, he looked at the newcomer and said in a deep voice, "Go and make sure this reaches Whitebeard!"

The man was immediately surprised, "What?"

The surrounding crew members also looked at their captain, very puzzled, why did their captain write to Whitebeard?

Shanks didn't say much, he just smiled, "This matter is very important."

"As long as you can complete the mission this time, you can become a regular member and follow any captain."

The subordinate was surprised at first, but after hearing the words, he immediately took the letter and left.
