Chasing The Kid Pirates

A certain sea area in the New World.

There was a loud noise on a huge whale-shaped pirate ship. The powerful Whitebeard pirate group was actually preparing to welcome an unexpected guest.

Because of another one of the Yonkōs, the red-haired Shanks boarded the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby-Dick.

And this pirate emperor who had only been a Yonkō for a few years, actually put on a show of strength as soon as he got on the ship.

The extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki caused cracks in the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, and a large number of crew members were knocked unconscious. This scene made the leader of the Four Emperors very unhappy even after drinking.

Shocking his sons to unconsciousness upon meeting them, what kind of guest behavior is this?

And when he saw Shanks, Whitebeard was reminded of the wound he received from Roger, and it felt a little painful just to recall it.

Shanks, who was just a brat on that bastard Roger's ship, has now grown to such an extent that he is no weaker than them.

This red-haired man is indeed several levels better than his sons.

However, now that Shanks has boarded his ship and released his Conqueror's Haki unscrupulously, is he trying to bully him, an old guy who has to be connected to machines, thinking that he is too old and frail to even use Conqueror's Haki?

In the past, Basire bullied Golden Lion Shiki, and now red-haired Shanks is bullying Whitebeard.

These old guys seem to be no longer suitable for this era.

If there really was a fight, Whitebeard felt that with his body, he really had no confidence in defeating Shanks, but he still had the confidence that if it came to a fight, both sides would end up losing.

Whitebeard still endured the displeasure of Shanks' actions and gave the young emperor a chance to talk.

However, the two only talked for a few minutes before they quarreled about Ace.

Whitebeard was already very irritable when Ace lost contact. Now the red-haired kid not only knocked out his sons, but also came to dictate matters on his ship and interfere in his internal affairs.

Even though Whitebeard was old and didn't want to do anything, he couldn't hold back his anger in the end, so he drew out his supreme grade blade, Murakumogiri, and slashed at Shanks.

The huge collision between the two Yonkōs separated the dense clouds, making it look like the sky was split in two.

However, the two sides did not really fight in the end and separated unhappily.

The news of the contact between the two Yonkō pirate groups quickly appeared in the newspapers, making countless people feel as if something big was about to happen.

…

On the other side, the Sky Island Ship of the Big Daddy Pirates was already next to Water Seven.

"Captain, as long as you give me the Magnetic Fruit, I can improve the Groseade into a real war fortress, no worse than the Ancient Weapon!"

Ratchet said enthusiastically. He only discovered how useful the Devil Fruit abilities are after constantly working with the Cube fruit user Gairam.

Now he not only wants to kill Kid for revenge, but also to obtain the powerful Magnetic Fruit ability.

He admitted that he used to despise devil fruits and thought that his brain was the smartest, but after being beaten onesidedly by Kid's Magnetic Fruit ability he changed his mind.

And now he also knows that devil fruits can also help him conduct better research, which is what really convinced him.

And he also heard Captain Basire say that Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist, is also a devil fruit user.

"Isn't this a matter of course? My genius scientist."

Basire smiled softly and said, now that Ratchet has completely attached himself to the Big Daddy Pirates, he has not stopped strengthening and transforming the war fortress since he boarded the Groseade.

He was contributing what he had learned throughout his life and no longer kept it for his private use.

"Thank you, Captain! I will never leave the Big Daddy Pirates in this life!"

Ratchet said a little nervously, he has changed from a genius mechanic to a crazy mechanic.

This guy got the technology to transform humans from Franky, and these days he has actually been carrying out some mechanical transformations on himself, and he is quite motivated to improve himself.

After getting the Magnetic Fruit, he might actually transform himself into a biological robot.

In these days, Crocodile has fully realized the terrifying strength of the Big Daddy Pirates, which completely surpasses any of the Shichibukai and the underworld emperors.

There is already the prototype of a Yonkō level pirate group.

As long as Basire's strength reaches the level of the other Yonkōs, coupled with Crocodile, Nami, Van Augur, Zoro... these powerful ability users and crew members, he can definitely become the fifth emperor!

And as Basire said, the Whitebeard Pirates will soon be brought down, so it is inevitable that the Big Daddy Pirates will become the new Yonkō crew.

If this is the case, it seems that being the number 2 character in the new Yonkō pirate group is not unacceptable.

"Captain! Eustass Kid is in Water Seven!!"

Lafitte flapped his white wings and slowly landed next to Basire, with an admiring smile on his face. He had now completely surrendered to him.

After Basire captured Blackbeard and gained the Dark Fruit's plundering ability, he knew that his Captain was destined to become the master of this era.

Now they just need to keep hunting Devil Fruits to increase their strength. Even the current Yonkōs will not be their opponents in the future.

As long as Basire can compete with the Yonkō captain, the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, even in a group fight, can wipe out the enemy crew, including the four sweet commanders and three disasters!

"Activate the Ark Maxim, don't expose the Groseade yet!"

Basire ordered, and the war fortress immediately stopped outside the waters of the Capital of Water Seven, and a golden ship left the island ship.

"You're going to give Fire Fist Ace to the Marines and start a war between them and the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Crocodile has probably understood Basire's plan, which is to let Naval Headquarters let the Whitebeard Pirates start the war, so that the Big Daddy Pirates can use the Marine's power to free up Whitebeard's position as a Yonkō.

Then let the Big Daddy Pirates become the new Yonkō crew.

"This is just a small part of the plan. Look carefully and study well. Don't engage in small projects like stealing a country from now on and see how I turn the world upside down!"

Basire grinned, and the crew members, specially Kuro, Lafitte, Law, and Van Augur, all began to think seriously.

They want to guess what Basire's real purpose is.

Even provoking a war between the Marine and one of the Yonkōs is just part of the plan, so how big is his real goal?

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Crocodile snorted and said. If his plan to steal the country of Arabasta hadn't been ruined by Basire he would have already become the king of a country like Doflamingo.

And Kuro's mind was running wild as he imagined all sorts of crazy things that could be Basire's goal, as expected of his Captain…

The Ark Maxim was speeding towards Water Seven, and the Kid Pirates had already found a shipyard in the island to help upgrade and renovate their ship, the Victoria Punk.

On the other side, the CP9 agents have been unable to find the whereabouts of Franky. Spandam finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to arrest Mayor Iceburg directly to ask for the whereabouts of Pluton's design drawings.

He has already taken other members of CP9 to Water Seven on a World Government warship, intending to take action himself.
