Chapter 23 Leave Or Life

Kaido gave the order, and the entire Beasts Pirates sprang into action like a well-oiled war machine.

Ghost Island Port

The roar of the crowd was deafening.

The broad road was packed with heavily armed pirates, forming a long line as they boarded their ships in an orderly fashion. The sheer number of them was overwhelming.

In the distance, several enormous and exaggerated figures were vaguely visible.

Soon, the warships had raised their anchors, set sail, and left the harbor.

In less than half an hour, the Beasts Pirates' fleet had departed from Onigashima and arrived at the outskirts of Wanokuni's inland sea.

The inland sea's water cascaded down the cliffs, creating a massive waterfall that surrounded Wanokuni. The sheer height and rapids prevented any external forces from entering. But to everyone's surprise, not far from the inland sea, the enormous flagship of the BIGMOM Pirates was anchored steadily.

Charlotte Linlin, Katakuri, Perospero, Owen, Opela, and other high-ranking members stood on the deck, seemingly waiting for their arrival.

At the cliff not far behind, several warships, towed by massive fish, climbed over the waterfall and landed on the sea.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

"Have they already arrived? They're moving so fast."

"I didn't expect them to actually climb the waterfall. The BIGMOM Pirates really are something."

King clenched his fists, feeling a pang of regret.

"If I had known, I would have come earlier to block their landing and had Quinn handle the expedition…"

"Linlin, is this the first time we've met in so many years since that incident?"

"It's quite rude to enter my territory without even a greeting!"

Kaido laughed loudly, shouldered his mace, and strode forward with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

The Beasts Pirates around them looked surprised.

"Could it be that Kaido, old Yamato, and this old woman have known each other for a long time?"

"If that's the case, there might not be a fight…"

Auntie snorted coldly and scanned the crowd.

"I'm sorry, Kaido, but I'm not here to reminisce. I'm here to capture someone!"

"You mean Garros, right?"

Kaido's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

It seemed the boy hadn't lied to him. Linlin had indeed come for this purpose.

Is she crazy?

Auntie raised her eyebrows.

"Well, well, well…"

"You've already met him? Very good. For the sake of past friendship, please hand him over to me!"

Kaido shook his head slightly.

"Unfortunately, Garros just joined the Beasts Pirates and is now one of my subordinates!"

"Besides, he recently had a conflict with your people on Sabaody. Although Dafu was injured, is it really necessary to mobilize troops like this?"

Kaido was puzzled.

Conflicts over treasure are normal for pirates.

To end up like this just means Charlotte Dafu's skills weren't up to par. He didn't lose his life, so why go to war over it?

"Oh? He's joined the Beasts Pirates?"

"If what you say is true, then fine. But this bastard also killed Snag and Smoothie!"

"It's not too much to risk his life for that!"

Auntie sneered, her murderous intent blatant.

Not only were Snark and Smoothie her children, but losing two dessert generals in one blow ignited uncontrollable fury within her.

This man must be crushed to ashes!

"This…"

The area fell into silence.

The Beasts Pirates were stunned into silence, their heads involuntarily turning in one direction.

Even after witnessing Garros' strength firsthand, hearing that he had killed two of Auntie's high-ranking officers was shocking.

It was as outrageous as hearing that King and Quinn had been defeated together!

The crowd's gaze shifted to Carlos in the midst of the commotion.

"Oh? Instead of hiding, you've come here?"

"Kid, you're very brave!"

Under Auntie's piercing gaze, the crowd around Carlos felt a chill and instinctively moved away.

Carlos remained unphased. He looked at Auntie calmly, smiled slightly, and spread his hands.

"You mean those two idiots? Who told them to overestimate their abilities and come after me?"

"Have you forgotten what happened two days ago? Even with more than fifty warships, you couldn't touch me. I suggest you save your effort and go home."

The Beasts Pirates collectively gasped.

"So, everything he said was true."

"The BIGMOM Pirates sent tens of thousands of troops for him alone. This is beyond exaggeration."

"It sounds like he broke out from an enemy siege?"

"I don't know how he did it, but now that he's trapped, isn't he afraid?"

…

King's heart sank as he looked at Garros's back.

One way or another, the BIGMOM Pirates lost two senior cadres because of this guy.

This was an undeniable fact.

Auntie wouldn't give up easily.

Considering the scale of the forces dispatched, they were clearly serious.

Garros was undeniably strong, possibly on par with King.

Recently, he had become a prominent figure in the Beasts Pirates, escalating this from a personal feud to a full-blown conflict between two pirate crews.

But here's the dilemma.

Is it worth going to war with another Sea Emperor over a newcomer who just joined the Beasts Pirates?

Such a fight would only lead to mutual destruction.

On the other hand, if Garros were handed over to the BIGMOM Pirates, not only could the crisis be resolved, but it could also be seen as a significant favor.

King couldn't help but glance at Kaido.

Kaido's head was lowered slightly, as if weighing his options.

From the changing expression on his face, it was clear Kaido was deeply conflicted.

Carlos's words and indifferent demeanor had made Auntie even angrier.

Without waiting for Kaido's response, she said coldly:

"Very well!"

"Last time, I was careless and let you escape. This time, no matter where you hide, you and your subordinates will be annihilated!"

"Leave or die!"

As her voice echoed, strange soul spells and terrifying Conqueror's Haki intertwined, sweeping across the surroundings.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere grew heavy with tension.
