Chapter 296

These people, who in the original work should have raised towering waves and tried to drag the Four Emperors down from their thrones,

in this plane, their situation could truly be called utterly wretched.

The Son of Destiny, the possessor of the Sun God Nika Fruit, the reincarnation of Joy Boy, Straw Hat Luffy blessed with an unlimited protagonist's halo, had nearly been killed by Luo Xing in a single sword strike.

The members of the Straw Hat crew were scattered to the four corners.

Zoro, moreover, had never even joined the Straw Hat crew in the first place.

The Straw Hat crew's future was hard to predict.

The Kid crew, needless to say, had already been annihilated.

X·Drake attempted to infiltrate the Beasts crew as a spy just as in the original work.

He never even got to see Luo Xing's face before being brutally slaughtered by Shiliew.

Besides that.

Trafalgar Law, Apoo, and Hawkins had already surrendered to Luo Xing.

There was also the gluttonous woman Jewelry Bonney, who had become Luo Xing's captive.

This woman's identity was unfathomable; she was currently being held prisoner by Luo Xing on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The remaining two members of the Xinxingfei Gang, Bege, and the strange monk Urouge.

Both of them had gone to challenge the Four Emperor Big Mom.

The strange monk Urouge had charged straight in headlong.

However,

he never even got to see Big Mom's face.

Although Urouge had defeated one of her Sweet Commanders, Snack, he was then crushed by a single biscuit soldier of Cracker, suffered grievous wounds, and fled in disgrace.

He seemed to have returned to his homeland, Skypiea.

After that, he hardly showed himself again.

As for Capone Bege, this man could be considered the most cunning and capable among the Supernovas.

After all, having grown up mixing with the mafia from a young age and successfully becoming a mafia godfather,

his temperament, ruthlessness, ability to trim his sails to the wind, and analytical grasp of the situation — he lacked none of these qualities.

Bege knew full well the gap in strength between himself and the Four Emperor Big Mom.

He did not dare to clash head-on with Big Mom, and planned to first find out her weakness before attempting an assassination.

Therefore.

Bege feigned submission to Big Mom's crew, expressing his wish to defect.

Upon hearing this news, Big Mom was overjoyed beyond words.

After all,

although Big Mom's crew had formed an alliance with the Shoutuanjie Alliance, there was still rivalry between them.

Especially back in the day on Rocks' ship,

Big Mom could be said to have been far stronger than Kaido.

But times had changed,

and that old bastard Kaido's forces had somehow come to far surpass hers!

Big Mom was, of course, in a foul mood.

She, too, was thinking of bolstering the power of Totto Land.

Now that a Supernova of no small strength had come to defect,

Big Mom was naturally delighted.

She personally received Bege.

And she betrothed one of her daughters to Bege.

Bege had effectively become Big Mom's son-in-law.

Big Mom gazed at Bege and laughed happily:

"Mamamamama, Bege, now that this old lady has you as a son-in-law, if I could also snatch Luo Xing over to be a son-in-law, that would be even more perfect!"

Big Mom still had not given up on the notion of snatching Luo Xing as a son-in-law away from Kaido.

Truly, her scheming heart knew no rest.

Standing beside Big Mom, Charlotte Brulee's little face immediately flushed crimson in patches.

Brulee knew,

if Mama really could take Luo Xing as a son-in-law, then the one in the marriage alliance would surely be her.

Not only because she was beautiful — the most beautiful among Big Mom's many daughters —

but also because she was a user of the Memo-Memo Fruit and a member of the three-eyed tribe, possessing a third eye.

The image of Luo Xing appearing on Cake Island that day involuntarily rose in Brulee's mind.

Her pretty face grew even redder.

Upon hearing Luo Xing's name, Capone Bege's heart, however, gave a sudden lurch.

To tell the truth,

the two people he least wished to see after infiltrating Big Mom's crew were these two.

One was Katakuri.

This man was calm and composed, having trained his Observation Haki to the point where he could foresee the near future — a true monster.

The other was Luo Xing.

Although Totto Land was separated from Wano by ten thousand miles,

But the Anywhere Door invented by the Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing, could easily cross it.

Against the backdrop of the Beasts Pirates and the Matuanlian Alliance,

it was quite normal for Luo Xing to suddenly arrive at Whole Cake Island to discuss matters with Big Mom.

Bege prayed fervently that such a thing would never happen.

If he feared Katakuri, regarding the latter as a monster,

then Bege felt near-terror toward Luo Xing!

That was a man infinitely close to a god!

This was Bege's evaluation of Luo Xing, even higher than that of the Four Emperors!

Bege successfully infiltrated the Big Mom Pirates; let us not speak of the subsequent events on that front.

Suffice it to say that under the Beasts Pirates' domination of the New World,

the many great pirates who had originally held sway in the New World were forced to leave and join Blackbeard.

As for the pirates who had not yet entered the first half of the New World,

except for a few stubborn fools, no one dared to recklessly enter the New World again.

This greatly improved the situation on Fish-Man Island.

And those pirates who did not enter the New World naturally flocked under the banner of the new Warlord of the Sea, the clown Buggy.

This caused Buggy's power to expand rapidly.

If it were not for the fact that he still lacked any top-tier combat power,

Buggy would even have been qualified to contend with Blackbeard for that position of the New Four Emperors.

After all, in terms of seniority,

Buggy and Blackbeard were both interns on Roger's and Whitebeard's ships during the same period.

Decades ago, they had already clashed.

In the original story,

Buggy indeed became an Emperor, standing shoulder to shoulder with his former comrade Shanks.

And the three interns who had once been enemies, Buggy, Shanks, and Blackbeard,

had finally all become Emperors.

How truly wonderful are the ways of the world!

Even Luo Xing had to sigh at the wonderful ways of the world.

Even though he was a transmigrator, he had never thought earlier that

Marco and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates would actually voluntarily submit to him.
