Chapter 414

New World, Kiva Island.

Learning that Whitebeard had led his men to the Sacred Land, Sky City, Kaido's gaze, filled with disappointment, swept over the Beasts Pirates' officers.

"You bunch of useless bastards—who the hell did I storm Mary Geoise for?"

"Wasn't it for you?"

"Now look—opportunities others beg for are handed to you, and you turn them down? What the hell are you trying to do?"

Virgo had just risen to ease the tension, but Kaido waved him back down.

"You little bastard—you kept this from me for a long time."

Kaido never imagined: Virgo, whom he regarded as the Beasts Pirates' intellectual pillar and most trusted confidant, was actually a spy sent by Saint Saint Saiwen.

Fuck.

No wonder all these years, Saint Saint Saiwen saw the Beasts Pirates' underwear clear as day.

Still, Kaido didn't blame Virgo—in fact, he felt a quiet thrill.

What does this prove?

It proves Saint Saint Saiwen recognizes the Beasts Pirates.

Otherwise, why didn't Saint Saint Saiwen send a spy to infiltrate Whitebeard's crew or Charlotte Lingling's Big Mom Kingdom?

Clearly, Saint Saint Saiwen recognized the Beasts Pirates—and recognized me, Kaido—so he sent his trusted man Virgo to spy here.

Besides, Saint Saint Saiwen is my own son-in-law.

Soon, the entire Beasts Pirates will be Oma's dowry; Kaido could only mutter a few complaints inwardly and say nothing more.

Seeing the other Beasts Pirates remain unmoved, Kaido had no choice but to stage a double act with King.

"King, what do you think?"

Receiving the cue, King immediately stood up.

"Boss Kaido, you know—Saint Saint Saiwen is Lunarian, and so am I. I fully support Saint Saint Saiwen."

"The United Kingdom will establish a new army: the Air Force, and I will serve as its Grand General."

Kaido nodded in satisfaction.

"Look at King—look at you useless bastards—how can the gap between people be so wide?"

At this moment, Caesar and Gatz exchanged glances, then voiced their hidden concerns.

"Boss Kaido, it's not that we don't want to."

"It's just… we've done a lot of terrible things lately, and we fear Saint Saint Saiwen will settle accounts with us later."

They knew: in recent times, the number of rebels killed by Saint Saint Saiwen's forces numbered at least ten million, if not twenty million.

Du Feld, the loan shark who funded MADS, had already been executed by the United Kingdom.

Given their past deeds, death would be too lenient.

Had it not been for fearing that fleeing would mean facing not only Saint Saint Saiwen and the United Kingdom's pursuit, but also Kaido's wrath,

they would have run long ago.

Hearing this, Kaido nearly blurted: "Settle accounts? Pfft—I'm Saint Saint Saiwen's father-in-law!" But remembering Oma, and his future grandsons, he changed his tone.

"In this life, if you make mistakes, you must admit them."

"Even if you've done wrong, you've got skills—work for the United Kingdom for a few decades, and I'll plead your case."

Kaido had realized—

He absolutely could not let bad habits spread among his men; it would taint his future grandsons' path to becoming King of the World.

"Really?" Caesar's eyes lit up.

Caesar had joined the Beasts Pirates to escape Admiral Kizaru's fury; now, with Kaido's guarantee, he finally felt reassured.

Still, the thought of Vegapunk heading the United Kingdom's tech division instantly dimmed his mood by half.

He'd always been at odds with Vegapunk.

Back in MADS, Vegapunk was the boss; after joining the World Government, Vegapunk was still the boss.

What the hell is this?

Vegapunk captured Caesar three times?

After Caesar and Gatz, King of Lizards Hana and Plague Queen Quinn both declared their willingness to follow Kaido into the United Kingdom.

There was no choice.

If they could choose freely, they'd rather remain free pirates, taking whatever they wanted.

But circumstances forced their hand.

Who in this sea now dared defy Saint Saint Saiwen's will?

The United Kingdom had countless people eager to earn glory in this critical time—word was even Admiral Akainu had gone blood-mad!

Seeing this, Kaido's expression turned sly.

"Hana, you'll stay by my side. As for Quinn, Saint Saint Saiwen… Saint Saint Saiwen has other plans for you."

"What?!" Quinn panicked.

Quinn thought Kaido had abandoned him and he'd soon be executed by Saint Saint Saiwen; he scrambled to Kaido's side, sobbing.

"Boss Kaido, I've eaten a lot, spent a lot, and done little work—but even if I've had no achievements, I've had plenty of suffering!"

Kaido kicked Quinn away.

"Relax—it's not bad."

"At least not for you. Saint Saint Saiwen is forming a band… and he wants you as the lead dancer."

Quinn dancing

Imagining Quinn dancing, Kaido felt his eyes burned—no idea what Saint Saint Saiwen saw in Quinn to make him lead dancer.

Moreover, the band's lead singer is a skeleton man; truly a bunch of strange fellows...

It was not hard to see from Saint Saint Saiwen's sudden whim that the United Kingdom's rule had become thoroughly consolidated; otherwise, with Saint Saint Saiwen's near-ascetic daily routine, he would never have thought of forming a band.

"Eh?" Queen's eyes instantly filled with hot tears.

How many years, how many years.

Finally, someone has discovered his dancing talent; no wonder Saint Saint Saint Saiwen can become the King of the World; his vision is indeed excellent!

"Boss, what are we waiting for?"

Queen's legs trembled constantly; that heart longing to dance was already starving and impatient.

"Boss, let's hurry to the Holy Land."

Kaido nodded, immediately transforming into his Azure Dragon form to lift Onigashima, preparing to move the Beasts Pirates' main base to the Red Line, placing it near Sky City.

Since the Flying Pirates originally stemmed from the Morning Star Pirates.

Thus, three Emperor-level pirate crews among the New World's Four Emperors—have all merged into the United Kingdom, leaving only Big Mom's crew in the Whole Cake Island.

A few days later, upon receiving the news, Charlotte Lingling grew anxious.

Unlike the previous several times, before, no matter what, the other four Emperor pirate crews still existed; now, however, they have become part of the United Kingdom.

Only Whole Cake Island remains as a single sprout.

"Damn Kaido!" Charlotte Lingling cursed and grumbled.

"And those two bastards, Newgate and Shi Ji, showing no regard for past camaraderie; you have now achieved fame and success, why leave me alone?"

It was not that Charlotte Lingling failed to recognize the situation.

But rather, during the period before and after Saint Saint Saiwen overthrew the World Government and established the United Kingdom.

Charlotte Linlin exhausted the entire family fortune accumulated by Whole Cake Island over many years, using the Lineage Factor cloning technology to mass-produce exactly three hundred offspring.

Charlotte Lingling believed that what she lacked was time.

As long as these three hundred children grow up, she, Charlotte Lingling, might not be unable to fight Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen!

But who could have expected: Whitebeard and Kaido, one after another, led their respective pirate crews to join the United Kingdom, leaving Whole Cake Island directly exposed to the United Kingdom's gaze.

Only she remains among the Four Emperors!

"No." Charlotte Lingling said in near madness.

"We must find a way to delay for twenty years; eighteen years will do; or perhaps offer Whole Cake Island to Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, and I will lead the three hundred children to hide secretly?

Wait until the day the children grow up?"

Thinking of this, Charlotte Lingling pondered for a moment, and finally dialed Katakuri's Den Den Mushi, preparing to take the son route to buy time.

"Child, Mom is asking you for a favor."
