Chapter 97: The End of World...
The Neo Marines and Whitebeard Pirates were not the only ones whose attention was drawn to Dave's bold actions. The balance of power in the seas was shifting rapidly, and every major pirate crew felt the ripple effects of Marineford's destruction and Sengoku's death.
The Beast Pirates
Kaido of the Beasts, the self-proclaimed "Strongest Creature in the World," had been intrigued by the events at Marineford. While lounging in Wano, drinking heavily, Kaido smashed a barrel of sake in frustration.
"Whitebeard siding with the Neo Marines? Pathetic!" Kaido roared, his voice shaking the walls of Onigashima. "But this Dave... he's interesting. A man who claims he can destroy the Celestial Dragons?"
King, his first commander, adjusted his mask and addressed his captain. "If they succeed, it could disrupt the entire balance of power. Aligning with them might secure our position."
Kaido sneered. "Fine! Let's hear what they have to offer. But if they don't amuse me, I'll kill them myself!"
The Big Mom Pirates
On Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin—Big Mom—was thrilled by the chaos.
"Mama-mama-mama! A new player in the game! And he's causing such a delightful stir," she giggled, stuffing a slice of wedding cake into her mouth.
