Chapter 154: Gather, prepare for team battle, betray teammates
On the third day after the Pirate Empress declared war, Wano's Protector of the Country, "Hundred Beasts" Kaido, responded positively to the matter.
"You want war, then give you war!"
"...The Beast Pirates are not afraid of any challenge, and they will not wait for others to come knocking on their doorstep. I will gather all my subordinates to defend the enemy from outside the country!"
This is the reply of the strongest creature, very powerful.
Moreover, he did not intend to wait for the enemy to come at all. He seemed to be preparing to transport Onigashima out of Wano Country and fight to the death with Nine Snakes outside.
Subsequently, one of the three big posters of the Beast Pirates, "Pandemic" Quinn, issued a more detailed statement.
"Anyone who intervenes in the war without our permission will be regarded as an enemy by the Beasts Pirates! Here, a special warning is given to the Red-haired Pirates, Bigmom Pirates, and Lionheart Pirates...
In addition, anyone who is willing to join the Beast Pirates to help us, or wants to form an alliance, can immediately send people to Rubble Island (an island closer to Wano Country), and we will..."
The statement is long, but it can be summarized in two points.
First, the beasts are going to fight the Nine Snakes, and other forces are not allowed to interfere randomly, otherwise they will be recorded in the notebook.
Out of fear, he specifically named Red Hair, Big Mom and the Bloodthirsty Swordsman. The three of them have the power to influence the situation of the battle.
Second, starting from today, the Beast Pirates will recruit a group of cannon fodder... ahem, recruit manpower.
The pressure of a total war is still great.
Despite Kaido's tough words, it can be seen from "Epidemic" Quinn's external statement that they are also eager to expand their strength, especially the number of cannon fodder at the bottom.
Normally, the Beast Pirates would not recruit people with such great fanfare and expand indiscriminately. The loyalty of their men is difficult to guarantee, and it is especially easy to infiltrate spies from major forces.
But now, due to the pressure of war, they no longer care about so much.
There is no doubt that "Epidemic" Quinn's statement is tantamount to dropping a bombshell in the already turbulent new world.
………
New World, Harp Island.
This is an island relatively close to Dressrosa, in the initial waters of the new world.
"Hahahaha... Brothers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hurry up and sail to Rubble Island. We want to join the Beast Pirates!"
In a tavern in the town, a pirate captain banged the table and shouted excitedly.
The Yonko Pirates are not just something you can join if you want to.
Normally, it would be difficult for a small pirate group that has no connections and is not very strong to take advantage of others.
"Captain Hank, are you out of your mind? They are obviously trying to recruit a group of cannon fodder at the last minute. If you, a bastard like you who is poorly armed, domineering and domineering, get mixed in, I'm afraid your brains will be moved."
At another table, a one-eyed pirate captain wearing an eyepatch sneered mercilessly.
"Asshole, what did you say?"
Captain Hank was furious and retorted, saying, "Don't you know that wealth can be gained through danger? You are afraid of death and become a pirate. A waste like you who can't seize the opportunity in front of you deserves to be a bastard for the rest of his life!"
"Asshole, how dare you talk to our boss like that!"
"Why don't you dare? Your boss is a coward and is only worthy of licking our captain's dick..."
In the tavern, two pirates were arguing with each other, and they seemed to be about to fight.
Realizing that they might be fighting, a pirate wearing a blue-black robe and dressed like a wizard on the side near the gate frowned and said in a low voice:
"Captain Hawkins..."
"Ignore it."
Pirate Supernova - "Magician" Hawkins sat on a chair and glanced at the two groups of quarreling pirates, his face expressionless.
During this time, except for the temporarily disbanded Straw Hats, most of the supernovas of the "Evil Generation" have passed through the underwater fish-man island and reached the initial sea area of the new world.
Huo Banxian ignored the noisy pirates and took a few cards from a few straw stems extending from his body.
He predicts the winning rate of both sides.
"The Beast Pirates, the battle (team battle) defeat rate is 61%." When this result was obtained, Magician Hawkins' paralyzed face clearly showed a look of surprise.
Some of the beasts are no match for the Nine Snakes.
Several of his subordinates also looked incredulous.
"Captain, could there be a mistake...ahem."
Some people were about to say that they might have made a mistake, but they realized that this was a slap in the face of their boss and shut up immediately.
But some people still looked surprised and couldn't help but say: "Kaido VS Pirate Empress, it's a 4-6 split, the Empress is 6...is she so strong?"
This is a bit abnormal, but the other way around is more or less the same.
In the past few days, they had read a lot of newspapers and heard a lot of arguments. There were more people who supported Kaido's victory and thought Kaido was stronger.
This can also be seen from the odds of major casinos.
Regarding the Imperial City PK between Nine Snakes and Hundred Beasts, many casinos have already opened the market. The odds of the Empress winning are 1.9 and Kaido’s is 1.5.
In other words, if the Empress wins by pressing 100 Baileys, if the Empress really wins in the end, she can get 190 Baileys.
Kaido won by betting 100 Baileys. If he guessed correctly, he could only get 150 Baileys.
The higher the odds, the more upset this situation is and the less optimistic it is.
For example, the odds of winning the national football team have remained high for decades, while the opposite is table tennis...
"Magician" Hawkins was also a little confused. Before the divination, he was actually more optimistic about Kaidou, but he still explained aloud:
"The probability of Nine Snakes defeating the Beasts is 61%, but the probability of the Queen defeating Kaido is 61%."
Everyone: "..."
There is a difference... No, there is really a difference.
There are some differences between one-on-one duels and team battles. Teammates holding back or being consumed by cannon fodder first will have an impact.
"Captain, can't you tell someone a fortune?"
"No." Huo Banxian shook his head and said, "The two of them are too far away from me. I can only predict events, but it is difficult to be precise about individuals."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His straw fruit ability is not omnipotent. The closer you are to the object of divination and the medium you have, the more accurate it will be.
Kaido is far away in the country of Wano, and the Empress is in the Windless Belt Daughter Island. They are both too far apart.
"Captain Hawkins, are we going to get involved?"
"No, it's too dangerous. Stay on the island for now and don't go deep into the New World waters until they get the results."
Huo Banxian shook his head firmly.
He had divined that if he got involved, there would be some possibility of death. Therefore, he had even rejected "Hai Ming" Apu's request for an alliance.
In addition to Hawkins, there are several supernovae on Harp Island.
In the dock area, on the rippling blue sea, there are ships belonging to the Hawkins Pirates, the Radio Pirates, the Kidd Pirates, the Drake Pirates and many other pirate supernovas.
"Kidd, do you really not consider forming an alliance with me?"
The pirate supernova - "Sea Ming" Apu, with a smile on his face and a group of younger brothers, blocked the way of Eustace Kidd and the murderous warrior Kira.
He said in a persuasive way: "The new world is too dangerous. If newcomers just arrive here and don't stick together for warmth, it will be difficult for them to survive."
After being killed by the general Kizaru with one blow on the Shampoo Islands, and watching the live broadcast of the war on the top, he deeply felt the fear of those top strong men, and intended to join the Beast Pirates to find a backer.
If you can fool a few more valuable "teammates" to join you, you will be even more valued by the other party.
Especially when the Beast Pirates are in crisis.
"Go away."
Eustace Kidd looked impatient and said in a disdainful tone, "Even if I want to form an alliance with others, I won't find a bastard like you!"
He planned to follow the advice of the bloodthirsty swordsman and master the power of Haki before taking action.
In addition, for some reason, he was particularly disgusted with this guy Apu.
"Ha ha……"
Apu laughed twice, wishing to kick Kid in the face, but he still had a smile on his face, deliberately irritating him and said, "Kid, are you afraid? Don't you dare to face the Four Emperors?"
"What did you say?" Kidd was furious.
"Isn't it?" Apu said bewilderedly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the Empress and Kaido fight, both sides will suffer... If we seize the opportunity, wouldn't it be possible to replace it?"
Having said that, what he was thinking was:
Huh, after he lured this idiot Kidd to the Rubble Island near Wano Country, he sold him.
Aren’t the Beasts Pirates short of cannon fodder and thugs? He will send them right now...
"..."
Hearing Apu say that he would replace the Four Emperors while the Empress and Kaido were both in trouble, Kidd was silent for a while, feeling a little moved.
To be fair, this is indeed a good opportunity, and it is always easier to miss something than to challenge it head-on.
It's just... he's still too weak.
Just when Apu saw Kidd shaken and felt secretly happy in his heart, Kidd, who had a gloomy expression on his face, suddenly sneered and looked at him with disdain:
"Humph, I'm not interested. Just forget about such tricky and dirty tricks. I'm not a useless and sinister person like you!"
Apu:(?_?)
"Humph, Kidd, do you know..."
"Needless to say, now is not the time. In the future, I will defeat a certain Yonko openly and then replace him!" Kidd said domineeringly.
After saying that, he took his little brother and walked away, leaving Apu with a handsome look on the back of his head.
Apu: "..."
(????),Nonsence!
'Arrogant, idiot, you're lucky this time, I'm waiting to see you cry for father and mother when you are beaten by the four emperors in the future.'
Apu looked at Kidd's back and cursed. He still didn't give up his plan to betray his teammates. He searched for a while and blocked "Weird Monk" Urqui in the food court.
Urki had just come out of a restaurant, holding a fragrant roasted pig's trotters in his right hand and taking a bite, while holding a wine bottle in his left hand.
Apu: "..."
Is this guy really a monk?
But when I thought that they were called the "Breaking Monk Pirates" and not the Monk Pirates, I felt relieved. After all the food and wine passed through the intestines, the Buddha kept it in his heart.
Apu stopped the strange monk and said a few words to explain his purpose.
"You said you want to form an alliance with me?"
Urki smiled, scratched his head, and said honestly, "I'm afraid that won't work. Originally, I wanted to challenge the Four Emperors Big Mom... But recently, the Queen of Sky Island issued a summons, and I have to go home immediately.
Already."
"The Queen of Sky Island...who is she?"
Apu glanced at the pair of small white wings behind the strange monk, with a question mark on his face.
He knew about Sky Island, and Urki was from Sky Island, but Queen of Sky Island, sorry, he had never heard of her at all.
"In the Baibai Sea, she is the Queen of Sky Island. In Qinghai, she is more famous and is called the Pirate Empress." Ulki explained.
Apu: "..."
(｀Δ′)! Does the empress still have this identity?
However, it seems understandable considering that the Meteor Pegasus can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and the rumor that the natural type Thunder Fruit of the Empress's second sister comes from the Sky Island.
"Her Majesty the Queen has recently been gathering the land, sea and air forces to attack the Beast Pirates. As a Sky Islander, I cannot stay out of it."
Urji explained a few words, then he lowered his head slightly, looked at Apu with eager eyes, and said, "Brother Haiming, there is no problem in forming an alliance. How about we serve Her Majesty the Queen together?"
How terrible is the imperial war?
He didn't really want to get involved, but his hometown was under the rule of the empress, and his relatives and friends were all there. If he could escape, the monk could not escape from the temple.
Worried about becoming cannon fodder, he was worried about this when Apu came to his door.
As long as he deceives the Broadcasting Pirates into becoming cannon fodder... Well, as long as he recruits these teammates to support the Queen, the Queen will be happy and his Broken Monk Pirates will probably not have to rush to the front line.
Apu: "..."
(?_?)
"Ah, haha, um, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Let's talk about it later."
Facing the eager gaze of the strange monk Ulgi, Apu suddenly felt his anus tighten, and quickly found an excuse to run away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He wants to sell his teammates.
I don’t want to be betrayed by my teammates.
Emmm...I always feel that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Wei Monk, is not as honest and honest as he looks on the outside. On the contrary, he is full of bad intentions.
After staying away from the weird monk, Apu found Bonnie, a girl with a big stomach, who was eating and drinking in a high-end restaurant not far away.
"Bonnie, there is something I want to talk to..."
"roll!"
"Well……"
"Get out!! Get out of here, mother! Otherwise I'll kill you!"
Bonnie, who was immersed in eating and drinking, pushed her arm, and all the plates and dishes on the table fell to the floor. Countless soup juices and broken porcelain fragments flew. Her beautiful face was also distorted with anger and murderous intent, looking quite ferocious.
Apu: "..."
(Д｀?)σWhat happened to her? Did she eat explosives?
Apu looked confused and was kicked away by Bonnie before he could even speak again.
Bang!
Looking at Hai Ming's back cursing and walking away, the pot-stomach girl Bonnie was still angry. She raised her leg and kicked the dining table, causing it to fall to the floor with a loud clang!
The frightened guests in the restaurant paid their bills and left one after another, and even her crew members were trembling with fear.
Bonnie was in a very bad mood recently. She got information that Bartholomew Bear had lost his self-awareness, was completely transformed into a biological weapon, and was removed from the Seven Seas of War...
On the other side, Apu persevered and found Red Flag
Regarding this fallen rear admiral, he changed his words.
"Drake, as a former rear admiral, you must know what kind of monsters the admiral and the four emperors are. With our current strength, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to fight against them. The best way is to join a certain side...
I want to join the Beast Pirates, come with me. As a user with animal and ancient abilities, you will definitely be taken seriously."
You don't have to sell your teammates.
If he can take X. Drake with him to defect, he will definitely be taken seriously.
"Sorry, I refuse." Derek glanced at Apu and shook his head.
"Why? The Beasts Pirates are definitely the best destination for you. Kaido is known as the strongest creature and is currently the strongest pirate...well, except for the Demon King."
"You said the Demon King is stronger, so why didn't you go to him?" X. Drake asked with a calm face.
"But Renn is only 25 years old. He is too young and I feel too embarrassed..." Apu spread his hands and explained.
He is already 29 years old, and he really can't lose his face and go to a young man who is only 25 years old.
Of course, the most important thing is that he will not be loyal to anyone. Even if he chooses to defect to the Beast Pirates, he is still looking for a temporary shelter. Sooner or later, he will betray... and leave.
In this case, if you offend Kaido in the future, don't offend the more terrifying Demon King.
"...If you want to defect to the Beast Pirates, you can go by yourself. Anyway, I plan to go to Hongye Island."
Drake did not chat with Apdo, but glanced at him and led a group of boys to the dock area.
After hesitating for a while, the higher-ups finally gave the order for him to join the Lionheart Pirates instead of working as an undercover agent in Wano Country.
Currently, both the Hundred Beasts and the Lionheart Pirates are recruiting people, so it is not surprising that he defected in the past...
"..."
Haiming Apu looked at Drake's retreating back, his whole body messy in the wind.
Trying to sell teammates always hits a wall, but sincerely seeking a partner still fails.
Damn, it’s really hard to get along in this world.
Indeed, the world is in chaos and people are panicked.
Even the big boss like Tianyaksha, the thigh in the eyes of others, is thinking about how to hug the demon king's thigh tightly to survive this storm, and the others are even more unbearable.
The two maritime overlords, the Empress and Kaido, haven't officially started a war yet, but countries of all sizes, underground organizations, and wandering small and medium-sized pirate groups in the new world are already ready to make a move.
In order to survive, some people want to form alliances and stick together for warmth, some people plan to join one of them, and some people want to show their favor to the other four emperors or the powerfully rising Lion Heart Pirates.
Even those forces who are prepared to sit back and watch the show are secretly recruiting troops and strengthening their vigilance.
………
New World, Behemoth Island.
This small island is very close to the Sphinx Island, the hometown of Whitebeard.
Originally, there was a small town on the island with a small population, not prosperous enough but fairly stable. People worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
But two days ago, a mother and her son landed on the island and started burning, killing, and looting, and people's nightmare began.
Beside the street, there were collapsed houses, broken walls, tiles, wood chips and stones scattered on the ground, there were flames burning, there were some swords and the bodies of men on the ground.
"Be honest and hand over all the treasures on your body and at home!"
At the corner of the street, Miss Bajin blocked the way of a group of residents who were fleeing in a hurry, admiring the fearful expressions on their faces, and a hideous smile appeared on her ugly old face.
Her son, Weibull, wielded his naginata and cut a nearby house in half, terrorizing the residents.
At this moment, a storm came from afar, bringing with it astonishing pressure.
