With the powerful defensive ability of the Shining Fruit, Gangplank fought on par with Quinn. However, with the addition of King, Gangplank was quickly defeated.

Being thrown in front of Kaido again, Gangplank was already somewhat unconscious.

Kaido asked again, "Boy, join my pirate crew."

Plank lay on the ground and said feebly, "Okay, I'll join."

But Kaido, who was familiar with Gangplank's tactics, did not believe him so easily this time. He said, "Where is your captain? As long as I kill them, you will not be considered part of a pirate crew, so you can join my pirate crew."

"Looking for my captain?"

A smile appeared on Plank's bruised face. "They will be back soon, and you will see them shortly."

Kaido sat on the ground and replied, "Then I will wait patiently. I must let you see with your own eyes how I kill your captain. I want you to know how vulnerable your pirate crew is in front of me."

In truth, Kaido was not willing to go to such lengths for one person, but he had no choice. Now that the Beast Pirates had just been established, it was a critical time for recruiting new members. He observed that Plank's fruit had great potential, and thus he saw significant development prospects. Therefore, he wanted to try to recruit him.

Quinn casually sat down on the ground and asked, "Boy, what is the name of your pirate crew?"

Kaido also listened carefully, eager to learn which small pirate group Gangplank belonged to in the East Sea.

"Cough cough."

Gangplank grinned. "The name of my pirate crew is Whitebeard."

"What!!!"

Quinn jumped up in fright, and the cigarette in his mouth fell. King was so startled that his eyes widened, and he turned pale.

Kaido was also shocked, but mostly he still couldn't believe it.

"What did you say the name of your pirate crew was?"

Quinn seized Gangplank by the collar and asked loudly.

"Get away."

At this moment, Kaido stepped in and pushed Quinn aside. He grabbed Plank's collar with one hand and looked at him with piercing eyes. "You said you are a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Plank smiled miserably. "What, are you scared?"

"It's over, boss! We seem to have offended the Whitebeard Pirates! What should we do?"

Quinn was terrified and completely flustered.

"Shut up!" Kaido scolded, glaring at Gangplank. "You are lying to me. How can the Whitebeard Pirates be in the East Sea?"

"Then what do you think it is?" Gangplank pointed to their ship in the distance.

There, the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates was fluttering in the wind.

"It's really Whitebeard!"

Kaido's expression changed completely. He couldn't understand how he could encounter that old guy with the white beard in the East Sea.

Kaido and Whitebeard were similar in that they both had a history with the Rocks Pirates. However, the difference was that despite having both been crew members, their statuses were completely different.

Kaido had been a young trainee crew member of the Rocks Pirates, whereas Whitebeard was a prominent crew member known for his combat prowess. Kaido had once had the privilege of witnessing Whitebeard's terrifying power firsthand.

Although he had only met him once, since that time, he vowed never to be an enemy of this old man again.

Kaido regretted his previous actions. He had only been enjoying Gangplank's battle and had completely ignored the pirate group anchored not far away. Now, he regretted not paying attention to it sooner.

"It's over; I have completely offended that old guy this time!"

Kaido's mind was in chaos; he never expected the situation would lead to such consequences.

"Boss, what should we do?" King asked as he approached.

Among the three, he was the calmest because he had never met Whitebeard. Thus, he did not know the extent of Whitebeard's terror. Even though he had heard stories about it, he remained ignorant and fearless.

Quinn, having never seen Whitebeard, also reacted differently from King in his panic.

Kaido quickly calmed down. There was no point in panicking now. The main thing was to find a solution.

He knew he wouldn't be able to defeat Whitebeard. Although Kaido was confident in his strength, compared to the monster that was Whitebeard, his own abilities were insufficient.

"Run!"

In just a moment, this idea came to Kaido's mind.

He looked at Quinn and King. "Hurry and prepare the boat! We must leave this island before that old guy Whitebeard comes back."

King hesitated. "Our ship is parked on the other side of the island. It will take a lot of time to get there."

Kaido gritted his teeth and said, "King, take me and fly there."

Quinn was dumbfounded. "What about me?"

King looked Quinn up and down, frowned, and said, "Your weight... you'd better figure it out on your own."

Quinn suddenly panicked. "Boss, you can't leave me behind! I only acted against this kid after listening to your orders. You can't let me go!"

"Shut up!" Kaido replied, feeling a headache from Quinn's dramatics. It was true that it would be too late to rush to the other side of the island now, and Whitebeard could return at any moment. Time wouldn't wait for anyone.

Kaido looked around and suddenly spotted a small fishing boat on the sea.

Isn't that ship coming?

Kaido shouted excitedly, "King, go and grab that boat for me!"

"Yes!"

King transformed into his pterosaur form again and flew towards the small fishing boat on the sea.

"Boss, what is he going to do?"

Quinn pointed at Gangplank on the ground and made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning of which was clear.

Kaido was furious and nearly picked up his mace to give Quinn a fierce hit. "We have already offended the old guy Whitebeard's crew by attacking him. Do you want him to follow us? Shall we fight to the death?"

"But if he dies, won't no one know that we did it?"

Quinn complained, almost in tears. He was actually the most afraid of Whitebeard among the three.

Kaido found himself almost laughing at Quinn's naivety. He pointed at Quinn's foolish face and said, "Didn't you see how many people witnessed us just now? If they report this to Whitebeard, do you think that old guy will let us go?"

Quinn suddenly fell silent, deterred from saying anything more.

"Boss, the ship is here!"

King returned swiftly, bringing with him a small boat that was only about three meters long.

The poor fisherman had been thrown into the sea and was now struggling to swim back to shore.

Kaido and Quinn approached the shore together. Quinn looked at the boat, then at himself, and hesitated. "Can this boat carry all three of us?"

Not to mention three; it seemed it could barely manage one person.

King's face remained expressionless. "I have no choice but to squeeze in."

Squeeze...

The corners of Kaido's mouth twitched slightly. Were they really going to crowd onto this small fishing boat?

But now, with only the Whitebeard Pirates' ship and the small boat in front of them, they had no other choice. Could they possibly rob Whitebeard's ship?

If he didn't have the courage to do that, they might have to make do with this small boat.

Kaido gritted his teeth and said, "Squeeze in and get on the boat quickly."

Quinn was on the verge of tears. When he followed Kaido, he never thought he would find himself in such a situation one day.

Under the setting sun, Kaido, Quinn, and King crowded onto a small fishing boat. The waves came crashing in one after another, and the boat experienced pressures it shouldn't have been bearing, as if it were in danger of capsizing at any moment.

"Hurry up! Paddle faster!"

Quinn rowed with all his might, sweating profusely from exhaustion, but Kaido kept urging him on.

Quinn wanted to argue that this was already the fastest the boat could go, but it was clear the small fishing boat itself wasn't made for speed, and with all three of them on board, it was already impressive that they had managed to stay afloat.

Rowing the boat while holding back tears, Quinn couldn't comprehend what kind of misfortune they had brought upon themselves.

Why trouble themselves over that little pirate?
