One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Kaido and Big Mom were both chained with special Seastone chains. While people didn't know much about Big Mom, they were familiar with Kaido as their guardian king of Wano.

Some people worship Kaido, and most people fear and hate Kaido. After seeing Kaido fail, many people start to laugh at him boldly.

"This damn Kaido was finally defeated!"

"Yeah, Whitebeard deserves to be the strongest man, and the so-called strongest creature is nothing more than that."

"From now on, we won't have to suffer under the Beast Pirates. This is great!"

"Damn it!" 

Kaido was furious as he heard the comments from the crowd. The insults from these ordinary people were a blow to his pride as a powerful being. Overwhelmed with anger, Kaido wanted to use his conqueror haki to intimidate them.

However, as Kaido had this thought, Whitebeard turned to him and said, "Kaido, you've oppressed people for so long, and now you can't handle a little criticism?"

Hearing Whitebeard's words, Kaido was momentarily taken aback and fell silent. Whitebeard continued, "Kaido, even though you've joined my pirate crew, it doesn't mean you're free from punishment. You still owe Wanokuni for your wrongdoings."

"What you've done has consequences," 

Whitebeard added sternly. Seeing Kaido's silence, Whitebeard glared until Kaido nodded reluctantly.

The news about Whitebeard quickly spread. After Whitebeard was welcomed by Momonosuke and returned to the shogun's residence, Morgans immediately published the story in his newspaper. He covered Whitebeard's defeat of Kaido, but photos would only be available once he returned.

Soon, everyone in Wanokuni knew that Whitebeard had defeated and captured Kaido. The people began to cheer and celebrate. Drake, who had been hiding, also learned about it.

Drake had been hiding in the Flower Capital to heal his wounds. The bustling atmosphere there helped him stay unnoticed. 

After learning the news, Drake immediately sent the news back to the Marine Headquarter. 

Akainu was surprised to hear the news, as it seemed the war between Whitebeard and Kaido was ending too soon. 

Meanwhile, Akainu had been assembling all the forces they had planned.

The Fleet Admiral personally attended, accompanied by three Marine Admirals, ten Vice Admirals, Rear Admirals, and commodore. In total, around fifty high-ranking Marine officers were present. Additionally, the government dispatched fifty large warships.

These warships are equipped with new laser guns and advanced defensive systems to prevent easy overturning. Additionally, there are twenty new Pacifista led by Sentoumaru, along with various new weapons.

All of these were developed by the scientific team to counter Whitebeard.

The Marine Headquarters deployed almost all their top combat forces. Akainu stood on the largest warship at the front and ordered his troops, 

"Move out! Kill Whitebeard!"

Behind Akainu were three Marine Admirals: Kizaru, Ryukogyu, and Fujitora. Other Vice Admirals and lower-ranked officers were assigned to different warships to oversee operations. Akainu led the Marine elite, setting off with big force.

Looking at this grand scene, Garp and Sengoku who stayed at the Marines Headquarters suddenly became emotional. Garp said, "This is probably the first time that Marines has used such a huge force to destroy a pirate."

Sengoku replied, "Yes, even when we chased Roger, we didn't have such a strong lineup. This is the wave of the times. Whitebeard is at the top now, so I wonder how it will all turn out."

"Bwahahaha, haven't you retired already, what's wrong, do you still have to worry about this?" Garp laughed.

"Yes, since I retired, everything feels much easier. It's really pleasant. I'd never want to go back to that position. I'm not worried about these things now. I'm just curious—will this power even affect Whitebeard?"

Sengoku said.

"Whitebeard has become more and more unfathomable. He defeated Kaido. If Akainu's actions fail to effectively defeat Whitebeard, Marine's prestige will be shattered, and Whitebeard will become the most dazzling Pirate King of this era," Garp exclaimed.

Numerous warships were sailing on the sea. On one of them, Captain Koby looked worried.

With such a large-scale force and Marine Fleet Admiral Akainu personally involved, it's clear that the Marine Headquarters is determined to eliminate Whitebeard.

Koby is worried about this. Having experienced the Summit War, he remembers the tragic scene—countless deaths, injuries, and chaos. The bloodshed and wailing were overwhelming, and he never wants to face such a situation again.

However, he couldn't stop it. The Marine's mission is to deal with pirates. Last time, Whitebeard attacked Marine Headquarters, but this time, Marine Headquarters is gathering forces to attack Whitebeard.

"I don't know how many people will die!" Koby clenched his fist, dreading how he would face such a scene.

During the Summit War, Koby wanted to escape due to fear. Back then, he was still cowardly, but now he has changed. He has awakened Observation Haki and is determined to become strong and now he has the title of captain.

Koby has matured and no longer wants to escape from war. He is now thinking about finding a better solution, wondering if there could be a way to end the conflict between Marines and pirates.

"Koby, what are you thinking about? Are you nervous about confronting Whitebeard?" Helmeppo asked, concerned.

"I'm just worried about how many Marines might die on the battlefield," Koby said.

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. As Marines, we have to fight with these pirates," Helmeppo replied.

"But I heard that Whitebeard helped Wanokuni. Even though he's a pirate, he didn't harm the people," Koby argued.

"I don't know. But it's pointless to think about it now. I'm just an ordinary officer. Even Marine Vice Admirals can't decide the Marine Headquarters' policies and strategies," Helmeppo said.

"Maybe, but if you become a Marine Admiral, you'd have more freedom to make decisions. You could even influence things like Buster Calls. I'd never allow that to happen," Koby sighed.
