Grand Line, Wano Country:
After the Fire Festival, the entire Wano Country was in tatters.
Due to the death of Momonosuke, the samurai of this country had to push Hiyori Kozuki to the throne of the general.
Hiyori Kozuki also officially became the first female emperor of Wano Country.
On the first day of her inauguration, she ordered the exemption of one year's taxes for all residents of Wano Country. In addition, she stopped the construction of the bridges in various villages that were blown up by Kurozumi Orochi and rebuilt Wano Country. A martyrs' cemetery was established to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed for this country.
"Your Highness, Straw Hat Luffy has woken up." At the Shogun's Mansion in Flower Capital, a female ninja hurried over and reported the latest news to Hiyori.
"Great, ask the chefs in the palace to prepare more wine and food. Also, try to deal with the navy and don't let them get close to Luffy and Zoro's residence. After Luffy and his friends have eaten and drunk enough, lead them to the estuary!"
"By the way, when Luffy and his friends are eating, ask the chef to prepare some more banquets and help me invite the admirals to come over to thank them for saving Wano Country. Ask the daimyos from various villages to accompany them, and make sure that when Luffy and his friends leave, the admirals are left here."
Hiyori was delighted and quickly ordered her men to do it. Straw Hat Kid and his gang were all great contributors to Wano Country, and she remembered this in her heart, but the other party's identity was still a pirate. In public, she should assist the navy in arresting them, but in private, she couldn't betray her trust.
"Yes! By the way, Your Highness, there are two more bad news to tell you."
The maid took the order and paused again as if she thought of something.
"What?"
Hiyori's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something had happened to Zoro.
"Lord Sukiyaki is still alive and has come to the outside of the palace."
The maid looked at Hiyori and said hesitantly. This was a private matter of the Kozuki family.
"What! Grandpa is still alive!"
Hiyori showed a hint of surprise on her face, but she immediately understood when she saw the maid's bad face.
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, and there can't be two kings in one country.
Now that Wano Country has just been founded, many foundations are still unstable. Even if Kozuki Sukiyaki returns, if he wants to take back the throne, he will inevitably start a war again, and the country is expected to fall into war.
"My grandfather was murdered by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido twenty years ago, and this fake was thrown into the sky prison!"
"By the way, what is the other news?"
Hiyori touched her forehead. The burden of a country was all placed on her alone, which was a bit strenuous.
"Momo...Momo...Lord Momonosuke's grave was dug up."
Seeing that His Highness Hiyori put the overall situation first, the maid's face eased a little, but the second news was really hard for her to say.
"What! My brother's grave..."
Hiyori staggered and almost fainted.
...
Grand Line, Beehive:
This is the paradise of pirates. It was originally the territory of Rocks, the king of the world. After Rocks and his gang were defeated by Roger Garp in the Valley of the Gods.
The entire Rocks Pirates fell apart, and the Beehive also fell into the hands of Whitebeard, a former crew member of the Rocks Pirates.
With the outbreak of the war on the top of the pirate world, Whitebeard died in the battle, and Blackbeard took the opportunity to annex all the heritage left by Whitebeard, including this island.
Now this place has become the base camp of the Four Emperors Blackbeard!
On the coast of the Beehive, two huge battleships slowly sailed over. One was naturally the Queen Mother Anthem of the Four Emperors Big Mom, and the other was Kaido's "Blue Dragon" battleship.
"Ulla la la la la!"
"Mom mom mom!"
The two Four Emperors walked out of the battleship together, followed by the Three Generals and the Three Disasters.
Then came Big Mom's thirty-four ministers, and Kaido's flying six!
As the black crowd stepped onto the island, the whole sky became gloomy.
Blackbeard looked at the two aggressive pirate groups, and felt something was wrong in his heart. They were not friendly.
Plop!
The terrifying domineering aura of the two Four Emperors swept over, and soon a large number of pirates lost consciousness.
"Thief hahahahaha, Kaido, BIGMOM."
Blackbeard laughed loudly. Facing the terrifying pressure of the two Four Emperors, there was no fear on his face.
Kaido narrowed his eyes and had a thorough look at Blackbeard's data panel through the system interface.

...
Oh my god, Blackbeard, this old bastard, is hiding too deep!
Looking at the series of panels, Kaido finally understood why Red Hair was scratched by Blackbeard.
This old black is clearly a top six, obviously too strong, but pretending to be a little lamb.
"Kaido, be careful, the guys who can stand are not simple characters."
It must be said that Big Mom's observation Haki is very sensitive. Although Blackbeard looks harmless on the outside, the hidden dangerous aura is difficult to hide.
"Uh-huh-huh-huh! Teach, I'm so sorry. I just came here and gave your crew a blow."
Kaido held the Hassaikai and agreed with Big Mom's words.
"Hahahaha, Kaido, why are you not in your Wano Country, coming to my territory?"
As soon as the voice fell, the black iron thorns had already pounced in front of Blackbeard.
Aokiji Kuzan, Rain Shiryu, King of Evil Government, and other crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates suddenly shrank their eyes and couldn't help but sweat for the captain. It was too fast.
Clang!
At some point, Blackbeard took out a pair of steel claws from behind, and the domineering aura surged out, and actually blocked the purple lightning and thunder. The two kings' auras collided violently throughout the island, and the dazzling light tore through the void.
Boom!
Another loud noise came, and the sea outside the honeycomb was stirred up by this monstrous momentum, and the deep sky was also torn into a terrifying crack at this moment!
"Hahahaha, you're quite capable, Kaido!"
Noticing that Kaido was beginning to hold back his aura, Blackbeard took the opportunity to distance himself from the latter.
After a brief confrontation, he had already formed a preliminary judgment of Kaido's strength, which was much stronger than expected, worthy of being one of the veteran Four Emperors!
"Well, you're not bad either! I came here today for no other reason. We plan to form an alliance with you. What do you think?"
Kaido grinned, staring into Blackbeard's eyes and spoke slowly.
His voice was not loud, but it was indeed like a bolt from the blue, stirring up huge waves in the hearts of all the pirates.
Kaido's eyes swept across.
Badges, Shiryu, Van Oka, Pizarro, Lafitte of the Blackbeard Group... grinned, obviously very interested in this proposal.
As for the former admiral Aokiji, he just stood there quietly, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen from his face.
"Alliance? What if I refuse?"
Blackbeard's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he looked at Kaido with a playful smile on his face.
"I think you got something wrong. We are not here to discuss with you, but to inform you, understand?" As soon as Kaido finished speaking, a thunderbolt tore the sky apart, followed by thunder, like the end of the world.
The sea surface that was just calm, under Kaido's will, countless sea water and land turned into a thousand-foot-high ferocious dragon.
The beast screamed and swallowed the mountains and rivers, as if if Blackbeard said "no" one more time, the entire hive would be completely razed to the ground!
