Chapter 260: The Possibility of the Four Emperors Forming a Team

Five years ago, upon hearing that Luo Jie was about to be publicly executed by the Marines at Loguetown, Golden Lion immediately went to the Marine Headquarters at Marineford to cause a scene.

After destroying most of Marineford, he was ultimately exhausted and captured after failing to withstand the combined forces of Garp and Sengoku.

He was subsequently imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell, and after lying low for two years, he escaped Impel Down at the cost of severing both his legs.

If he were to cause a scene at the new Marineford now, it would not be impossible, but going alone would inevitably be somewhat unsafe.

Golden Lion, with a cigar in his mouth, began to think: What would Saint Saint Saiwen do in this situation?

Given the captain's character, he would definitely form a team to go.

However, the officers of the Flying Pirates, Buggy and Foxy, could handle ordinary small-time pirates without issue, but they were unable to deal with the Admirals and Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters.

So how should one form a team?

"Captain, isn't our Flying Pirates the largest of the Four Emperors' crews in terms of territory?"

"Without Big Mom's Whole Cake..."

"Eh?" Golden Lion had a sudden flash of inspiration.

That's right, who said forming a team must involve only one's own people? The four Emperors of the Sea can form a team too!

With the Marine Headquarters relocating to the New World, such a major event, how could an Emperor of the Sea of the New World not go to offer some congratulatory gifts?

He, Golden Lion, alone would easily be bullied by the Marines with numbers; if he invited the other three Emperors of the Sea... the scene would be simply too beautiful.

"Interesting, very interesting."

"If they do not go, they are merely lowly pirates."

Golden Lion immediately took action: "Foxy, you stay here to supervise the renovation of Future Island; remember to contact Saint Saint Saiwen if anything happens."

Seizing Future Island was Saint Saint Saiwen's previous plan, to be executed by the Flying Pirates, with the Morning Star Crew handling the aftermath.

Golden Lion prepared to personally find Whitebeard; although he knew the hope was slim, he was prepared to try, just in case he succeeded in persuading Whitebeard!

The four Emperors arriving at the Marine Headquarters simultaneously; just thinking of that scene felt thrilling.

"Understood, Captain."

Watching Golden Lion leave, Foxy hesitated briefly, then finally dialed Buggy's Den Den Mushi to report; whether to report it to Captain Saint Saint Saiwen was a problem for the Buggy brothers to consider.

Not long after, Saint Saint Saiwen, who had just returned to Wano, received Buggy's message.

"Buggy, do not worry about these matters; Senior Shi Ji is an Emperor of the Sea after all; let him do whatever he wishes."

Regarding Golden Lion's movements, Saint Saint Saiwen actually did not care much; if Golden Lion wanted to say something, he would certainly inform him in advance.

Since Golden Lion did not inform him in advance, it certainly was not a major matter.

With this idle time, Saint Saint Saiwen might as well think carefully about how to deal with the provocation from the Wano Kindergarten.

Because they had not taken the Kindergarten along on multiple outings, the Wano Kindergarten, led by Yamato, was angrily surrounding Saint Saint Saiwen demanding an explanation.

"My lord is all a liar."

"We clearly agreed you would take us out to play, but you broke your word; I will never trust you again."

Saint Saint Saiwen looked sorrowfully at Yamato, Perona, and the Hancock sisters hugging his legs, as well as Robin and Olga covering their mouths and giggling.

There were seven such small Morning Star Crew members like this... and one extra-large loli standing over three meters tall: Black Maria.

Recruiting a kindergarten principal had become urgent.

"Yamato, how about in a few more months? At that time, I will take you to the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf; the grapes in Elbaf are bigger than people."

"Really?" Yamato blinked her large eyes.

"Grapes bigger than people? You must keep your word; if you lie, you are a puppy."

Saint Saint Saiwen nodded heavily: "If I lie, I am a puppy."

It had been over a year since the last visit to Elbaf; it was time to go and strengthen bonds with the Loki brothers.

Along the way, discuss with Harald—how to exchange for the national treasure of Elbaf—and at the same time hand the pure gold ring to Uncle Jabra.

"However, have you mastered Armament Haki? Have you become proficient in Observation Haki?"

"Have you even entered the realm of Conqueror's Haki coating?"

"If you few cannot learn, I will only take you to Elbaf to play; I will not take you to play anywhere else."

"Like the underwater amusement park, the Fish-Man Kingdom, the Sky Island ten thousand meters high above the White Sea..."

Before Saint Saint Saiwen could finish speaking, Yamato had already dashed to the backyard of the Shogun's mansion to begin cultivation.

Among the eight lolis of the Kindergarten, Yamato cultivated the most diligently, after all, she was the first direct senior disciple of the famous teacher Kawaii-dor.

Not only was her bloodline and foundation in the three types of Haki sufficiently good, but she had also fought against the peak powerhouse Kaido multiple times.

"You few should also go cultivate quickly; at such a young age, it is a good time for cultivation."

"O... kay."

The lolis of the Kindergarten left with drooping heads and dejected spirits.

Watching Robin being held by the extra-large loli Black Maria, Saint Saint Saiwen's eye twitched slightly.

Black Maria, whose body was twisted and broken by Robin in the anime, has now become good sisters with Robin; fate is truly mysterious.

Because of the wings flapped by Saint Saint Saiwen, the fates of many people on the seas were rewritten, and Saint Saint Saiwen even became the guardian of eight lolis.

Damn, what kind of situation is this?

"Yuzhi Xiliu, have everyone gather over here."

"Understood, Captain."

New World, Moby Dick.

Flying over half of the New World, Golden Lion arrived at the Moby Dick, which was anchored in the waters of Flevia Island.

Just as he was about to unleash his Conqueror's Haki to announce his arrival, Golden Lion's jaw suddenly dropped, and even the cigar in his mouth fell into the sea.

He saw Whitebeard holding an infant in his arms, swaying back and forth as if coaxing the baby to sleep.

"What?!"

Shiki drew a sharp breath: among the three legendary pirates, Luo Jie had a son, and now Whitebeard had an heir.

Damned, he's the only old bachelor left.

Shiki truly wanted to turn and fly away—Whitebeard having an heir meant he'd almost certainly not join forces with him to storm Marineford.

But since he'd come this far…

Might as well say hello before leaving.

"Hehehehehe!"

"Newgate, what woman could possibly have conquered a man like you?"

Shiki was genuinely curious: was the child's mother Stussy or Gloriosa?

Wait, Shiki vaguely remembered—

Stussy loved Whitebeard, Whitebeard loved Gloriosa, Gloriosa loved Luo Jie, Luo Jie loved Xia Qi, and Xia Qi was devoted to Lei Li…

Moreover, whether Stussy or Gloriosa, both were nearly sixty years old now.

Whitebeard grinned, utterly unconcerned with what Shiki was saying.

"What do you know, you old bachelor?"

Whitebeard handed his daughter to Marco.

"Shiki, you're not supposed to be on Hive Island—what brings you here?"

Only then did Shiki notice the ring on Whitebeard's finger—and instantly understood everything.

So this captain, he'd secretly won over even Whitebeard?

If that's true, the chance of the Four Emperors uniting to storm Marineford just increased greatly.

"I came to discuss something with you…"

Upon hearing Shiki's plan to unite and launch a massive assault on Marineford, Whitebeard was utterly speechless.

"You're truly a man who thrives on chaos."

"I've been busy lately."
