"Insolent!"
The unauthorized intrusion caused Katakuri and the others to change their expressions abruptly, followed by Charlotte Linlin's furious roar.
*Bang!*
The intruding soldier exploded.
At the same time, a soul was pulled out by Charlotte Linlin.
In Charlotte Linlin's grasp, the soldier endured unbearable torment.
Charlotte Katakuri and the others remained silent.
After a while, seeing that the soul was about to be completely annihilated, Charlotte Katakuri stepped forward and said, "Mother, this soul is about to break. Why don't we listen to what intelligence he has first?"
Meanwhile, other ministers had thoughtfully presented carts of cakes and desserts, and then fearfully retreated to the side.
Charlotte Linlin was silent for a moment, staring at the weak soul, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to endure torment, tell me what you know."
The tormented soldier's soul was very weak.
Upon hearing this, his eyes were still filled with fear.
"The Land of Wano... Benedict appeared in the Land of Wano, Kaido suffered a severe blow and disappeared, the Beast Pirates suffered a severe blow, and two of the three diremains have fallen..."
Listening to the words of the soldier's soul, Charlotte Linlin clenched her right hand in anger, and the soldier's soul completely dissipated.
The entire hall fell into silence.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden news.
At this particular time, Benedict had appeared in the Land of Wano, severely damaged the Beast Pirates, and Kaido had disappeared, while Jack the Drought and King the Wildfire had fallen.
This was something no one had expected.
Especially since only three people had acted.
Benedict, Oden Kozuki, and a strong individual with the Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi fruit.
"Is the intelligence incorrect?"
"That's the Beast Pirates."
"Kaido, such a powerful existence, was defeated just like that?"
"There must be some error in the intelligence. For three people alone to inflict such heavy damage on the Beast Pirates, that's too terrifying!"
"If this is true, then once the Xuanwu Navy takes over the World Government, they will inevitably target us. At that time, we will be in trouble. Perhaps an alliance is the best course of action."
"An alliance with whom?"
"The Whitebeard Pirates?"
"The Whitebeard Pirates? That's difficult. They are unconventional and won't form an alliance with us."
"Hush, whether to form an alliance or not, it depends on Mother's decision."
...
The public opinion gradually quieted down with the discussion.
They all turned their gaze to Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin fell silent.
The power displayed by the Xuanwu Navy and the downfall of the Beast Pirates were sending her a very dangerous signal.
Without a large army, relying only on Benedict and two experts, they could inflict heavy damage on the Beast Pirates and retreat safely.
If there were a few more Admiral-level existences, would the nation she created be annihilated?
The terror of Benedict, the punch of that bald man, and the increasingly powerful high-ranking officials of the Xuanwu Navy, even the ever-growing elite navy.
Even more shocking were the thousands of warships.
Such a force, if it appeared in their Cake Island kingdom, would be a comprehensive destruction.
"Contact the pirates of the New World, the tea party is about to begin."
Charlotte Linlin quickly gave her answer.
The situation at hand was urgent.
"Contact Newgate. I want to speak with him."
Charlotte Linlin added.
Katakuri took out a Den Den Mushi from a box.
The Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold.
"Pops, it's Charlotte Linlin's Den Den Mushi," Marco said, his expression slightly changing as he looked at the Den Den Mushi that had been placed in a box, silent for who knows how many years, and then softly said to Whitebeard, who was resting with his eyes closed.
The time was short, but some voices quickly spread.
With the intelligence system possessed by the Whitebeard Pirates, it was naturally easy to obtain certain information.
Therefore, Marco quickly guessed what the sudden ringing of the Den Den Mushi meant.
Whitebeard slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Den Den Mushi in the box beside him, and after a moment of silence, said, "Connect."
Marco did not hesitate and opened the box.
"Charlotte Linlin, this call from you is truly rare."
Whitebeard said calmly.
"Newgate, let's join forces." Charlotte Linlin responded straightforwardly, without any beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard's mouth curved, and he then burst into laughter.
On the other side, Charlotte Linlin also burst into laughter.
Whether it was the people of the Whitebeard Pirates or the members of the Big Mom Pirates, they were all puzzled as to why their captain was shouting so loudly.
But at this moment, no one dared to say anything.
"Why should I join forces with you?" Whitebeard asked indifferently after his laughter.
"Kaido has been defeated, Jack the Drought and King the Wildfire have been killed, and the rest of the Beast Pirates are mostly dead or injured," Charlotte Linlin said coldly.
For a moment, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates stopped what they were doing, shocked by the sudden news.
Marco felt it was incredible, and his gaze towards his father was even more disbelieving.
"How is this possible?"
"That's the 'undying cockroach'?"
"Such a formidable person was defeated?"
Marco exclaimed.
Charlotte Linlin heard Marco's voice and sneered, "Pineapple head, nothing is impossible."
"Benedict could even kill Golden Lion. With a little effort, what's wrong with defeating Kaido?"
"Benedict, with just three people, has already inflicted heavy damage on the Beast Pirates. Isn't that enough for us to join forces?"
"If it's not enough, I have another piece of bad news for you."
"Benedict can kill Devil Fruit users and also grant Devil Fruit abilities to others."
"He killed Kurozumi Orochi, took his Devil Fruit ability, and then bestowed this ability to a newcomer. This newcomer, after obtaining the power of the snake-snake fruit, Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi form, has become very powerful. Not only can he drain the stamina of others for his own use, but he can also suppress the Devil Fruit abilities of Devil Fruit users within a certain range."
After Charlotte Linlin finished speaking, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates fell silent again.
The executives of the Whitebeard Pirates were basically Devil Fruit users.
If their Devil Fruit abilities were all gone, their combat power would be greatly reduced.
At this time, if they were to face the Xuanwu Navy again, they would suffer immense losses.
For a moment, the executives of the Whitebeard Pirates all looked towards Whitebeard.
Whether to form an alliance or not, it was ultimately up to Whitebeard to decide.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with anticipation.
Because the Xuanwu Navy's tolerance for pirates was very, very low.
Therefore, a battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Xuanwu Navy was inevitable.
