"BOOM!"
"AAAHHH!!"
Another bloodcurdling scream tore through the air, chilling Big Mom to the bone.
Big Mom's expression darkened, her immense frustration boiling over.
"Damn it... This can't go on any longer!" Her eyes gleamed with a dangerous resolve—then, without hesitation, she whipped out her Den Den Mushi.
"I need to call Kaido!"
*****
On the other end of the line, in Onigashima...
"Let me show you the newest way to die..." Kaido was just about to throw himself into another suicidal attempt when, the very next second, his Den Den Mushi rang with Big Mom's insistent call.
"Huh? What does that old hag want?" A trace of impatience, even annoyance, flashed across Kaido's monstrous face.
He answered, a low growl in his voice.
"Hello?"
"KAIDO!!"
The voice of Big Mom screaming through the receiver was urgent, seemingly accompanied by the distant sounds of shouts and explosions.
"Huh? Linlin, what in the world is going on?" Kaido was genuinely stunned, his brow furrowing as he couldn't help but ask.
"Kaido! We're under attack here! The Marines are invading Whole Cake Island!" Big Mom shrieked, her voice strained with anxiety.
At that moment, she was still battling two Admiral-level Seraphim, risking further attacks just to make this desperate call.
"WHAT?!" Kaido's expression changed instantly, his face contorting into a ferocious, bloodthirsty grin.
"The Marines are actually attacking you?!" His eyes glinted with sudden, savage anticipation.
"This is PERFECT!!"
A chilling flash of pure killing intent erupted in Kaido's eyes.
Recently, he had been targeted by the Marines multiple times and his heart was already brimming with resentment.
Now, hearing that the Marines were clashing with Big Mom, he naturally craved to join the battle immediately.
He couldn't take on the Marines alone, but, with the Big Mom Pirates there?
Instantly, Kaido's blood stirred with wild excitement!
"Kaido, the Marines also brought Leon's latest invention—the Anywhere Door!" Big Mom added, desperate to emphasize the gravity of the situation.
Immediately, Kaido's eyes lit up with a dangerous glint!
'That thing!'
He would never forget how Akainu had once used that damned Door to wreak havoc right in his territory!
If he had that piece of technology, he could even infiltrate Marine Headquarters and exact full, brutal revenge!
Unfortunately, he didn't possess it.
Moreover, the Marines' current strength wasn't what it used to be and with the terrifying presence of the Admiral-level Seraphim, he didn't dare cause a ruckus at Marine Headquarters now.
"Linlin, I understand. i'll be there quickly!" The next moment, Kaido instantly transformed, his massive body shifting into the awe-inspiring form of an azure dragon!
His entire colossal frame soared into the air.
But this time, he didn't bother supporting the massive structure of Onigashima.
Instead, his enormous dragon body crashed through the entirety of the island's castle, tearing a path straight through!
"Hey, Queen!" His thunderous voice, amplified by his dragon form, swept across the island like a tidal wave.
"All members of the Beasts Pirates, assemble here immediately!"
The next moment, members of the Beasts Pirates from all corners of Onigashima rushed over from every direction.
The first to arrive was King in his Pteranodon form.
Following closely were Queen and Tobiroppo, a terrifying group of true warriors...
The last to arrive were the ordinary members of the Beasts Pirates, among whom were many powerful Zoan Devil Fruit users.
"Kaido-sama!" "Boss!" "Governor!"
Looking at the vast, roaring crowd, Kaido didn't waste a single word.
"Board the ship!"
"YES!!"
The next moment, all members of the Beasts Pirates scrambled quickly aboard their vessel.
Carried by Kaido's massive dragon body, his enormous tail coiled around the giant ship, and he leaped into the distance at breakneck speed!
"Kaido-san, who are we going after?! Where are we headed?!" King couldn't help but shout over the rushing wind.
Kaido narrowed his eyes slightly, emitting a dangerous, fiery gleam.
He spoke, his voice cold and low, filled with terrifying resolve.
"To crush the Marines!" His voice boomed. "Our destination: Whole Cake Island!"
Countless flames erupted from his body, propelling Kaido's massive form at breakneck speed as he charged straight towards Whole Cake Island!
******
"Hmph!"
Sakai I and Sakai II fired continuously, searing lasers shooting out one after another.
"Mamamama..." Big Mom, with a loud thud, rolled around on the ground, narrowly dodging another attack.
Yet a ferocious, triumphant grin spread across her face.
Clutching the Den Den Mushi protectively with both hands, she had already dialed another number!
This time, it was Whitebeard.
Because she knew that with the current strength of the Marines, the addition of a single Kaido wouldn't be enough to truly demoralize them!
She would make sure the Marines paid a heavy, unforgettable price for their actions today.
Whitebeard was her second ally!
In the past, Big Mom knew Whitebeard would never come to her aid for a simple spat.
But today was different.
If Whitebeard truly wanted a Seraphim, if he didn't want to be permanently suppressed by the Marines from now on, he would definitely come!
The next moment, the Den Den Mushi connected to Whitebeard.
"Linlin, calling me right now... Has the Admiral Seraphim been successfully developed ahead of schedule?" Whitebeard's deep, powerful voice rumbled through the receiver.
"Whitebeard, Its not that!" Big Mom hastily replied, her voice a mix of relief and urgency.
"I'm currently under attack by the Marines! If you want to take the Seraphim you commissioned, come and help me NOW! Otherwise, if I fall, your Seraphim project will definitely fail!" Big Mom roared, simultaneously dodging desperate attacks from Sakai I and Sakai II.
The situation was beyond awkward as she was utterly desperate!
"What?!" Whitebeard exclaimed, his voice filled with shock.
"You're under attack by the Marines right now?! How many forces did they send?! How many top-tier fighters?!"
"BOOM!"
A laser beam blasted directly into Big Mom, sending her stumbling back, a grunt of pain escaping her lips.
Big Mom gritted her teeth, forcing herself to hold on, she had to answer quickly.
"No need to ask—the entire Marine is here!"
The moment these words were spoken, Whitebeard's expression darkened instantly.
"Fine, we're coming right now!"
After hanging up, Whitebeard immediately ordered his sons to rush to Whole Cake Island as fast as possible.
Because now, Whitebeard also understood the gravity of the situation.
This wasn't just about the Seraphim anymore—if Big Mom was destroyed, not only would he lose the chance to gain the Seraphim, but the threat pirates posed to the Marines across the seas would drastically diminish!
The Marine's morale would soar and they would continue attacking the other Emperors.
Next time, the target might even be him!
