CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 167: FLIPPING THE TABLE AND QUITTING, RETURNING TO THE FIRST HALF OF THE GRAND LINE

"They... they’ve joined forces! The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have joined forces!!!"

"You’ve got to be kidding me! Are they planning to rule the world?!"

"It’s chaos, complete chaos... The balance formed by Marine Headquarters, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, after so many years, is finally going to collapse completely."

"Besides Marine Headquarters, what pirate crew in the world right now can withstand the alliance of two great pirate crews?"

"Can the Red Hair Pirates do it? Can the strongest Whitebeard Pirates do it? Or... can Gran Tesoro do it?!"

".........."

Without a doubt.

The alliance of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido had plunged the entire world into shock, and even fear.

Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, Mary Geoise, in order to suppress pirates, had specially created the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which had always balanced the Four Seas and both halves of the Grand Line along with Marine Headquarters and the three great overlords of the New World.

After Shanks reached the top, the second half became the Four Emperors structure.

For twenty years, this balance had never been broken.

In the original story, it was also two years later, after Mary Geoise and the Marines had a secret weapon to deal with pirates, that they took the initiative to break this balance and abolished the legal pirates, the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It was also at that time that Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, two former members of the Rocks Pirates, who were aware that the era was beginning to become chaotic, finally chose to form an alliance.

Now...

Because of the butterfly effect triggered by Karl, the two had joined forces ahead of schedule, and the Four Emperors had taken the initiative to break the balance point.

Therefore, as soon as this news came out.

Never mind the people of the world, even Mary Geoise and Marine Headquarters, as well as the other Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army, were all shocked.

The highest leader of Mary Geoise, the highest authority of the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders, immediately summoned the Commander-in-Chief of all forces, the former Fleet Admiral who had been defeated by Redfield, "Steel Bone" Kong, as well as the current Fleet Admiral, "Buddha" Sengoku, to Mary Geoise for a meeting.

Afterwards, Sengoku also convened the major generals of the Marines to hold a meeting regarding the alliance of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

It was unknown what they discussed in the meeting.

After the meeting, the number of Marine Admirals stationed at the branches in the New World suddenly went from one to two.

The two Marine Admirals were stationed at the G1 and G5 branches respectively.

In addition, Marine Headquarters transferred a large number of elite soldiers from the first half of the Grand Line to the two major branches in the New World.

Upon learning this news, the panicked member nations finally calmed down.

From this, it was clear how much pressure and fear the alliance of the two pirate emperors had brought to the member nations of the New World.

Not only Mary Geoise and Marine Headquarters, but even the Red Hair Pirates had also sent a request for a meeting to the Whitebeard Pirates.

A few days later, the Red Force and the Moby Dick met at sea, and the two overlords of the seas had a meeting.

The topic of the meeting naturally also revolved around the alliance of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

Although Shanks was the junior among the four pirate emperors, as a former crew member of the Roger Pirates, besides not having gone to the final island, he had not only been to many places but had also seen and knew many things.

Among them... was the Rocks Pirates.

Among the five great overlords of the seas, besides that young junior, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido were all crew members of the pirate crew that had dominated the Grand Line in the era before last.

Now that his other two former companions had formed an alliance, Shanks cared about Whitebeard’s current thoughts.

He even said to Whitebeard that if he needed to, he could also seek an alliance.

Without a doubt...

Shanks’s insulting words directly angered Whitebeard.

The two, just like in the original story, had a clash of Conqueror’s Haki Infusion on the Moby Dick, and Gryphon and Murakumogiri tore the sky apart.

The whole world, because of the alliance of the two pirate emperors, began to become a mess.

Among them, the New World was the worst, followed by the first half of the Grand Line, while the Four Seas remained unchanged.

The Marines had mobilized a large number of elite soldiers and sent them to the New World.

The pirates in the first half of the Grand Line would inevitably be liberated, and this sea area, which had been guarded by the Marines, would once again fall into chaos.

The cause of all this was the world broadcast that Karl had created, and the last sentence at the end of the first broadcast.

That sentence, "Senior Linlin is probably not dead," would surely become one of the classic famous lines in the future.

Just as Karl had said...

The alliance of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido was obviously out of fear.

What kind of injury would make a natural-born monster recuperate for a full month?

If before the broadcast began, Kaido would have shouted loudly that he would definitely expose Karl’s true colors in front of the whole world.

Then after the broadcast ended, Kaido, whose hobby was suicide, had chickened out.

In just three short years, Karl, this monster, had surpassed him.

If in Sea Circle Calendar 1517, if Karl hadn’t used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he would have been suppressed in all aspects in his normal state.

Then now, Kaido was the one being suppressed by Karl.

As for why Kaido was so sure without having fought him?

It was simple. Because Kaido was very familiar with Charlotte Linlin’s strength. Besides being inferior in speed, even Kaido would have a hard time defeating her.

In terms of physique, even Charlotte Linlin was being suppressed. Unless Kaido used his dragon-human form, the result of him facing Karl would not be much different from Charlotte Linlin’s.

Even if he used his dragon-human form, Kaido was not confident he could beat Karl in his superhuman mode.

That speed was simply more terrifying than that yellow monkey of the Marines, and could be called number one in the world.

If it were just that his strength, speed, and defense were inferior to Karl’s, Kaido wouldn’t be so afraid.

But after repaying the favor of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Azure Dragon that Charlotte Linlin had given him, Kaido was invited to Whole Cake Island. After seeing Charlotte Linlin’s miserable state and learning of the power of the King’s Fist from her mouth, Kaido’s thoughts immediately changed.

That kind of super shockwave not only blew away half an island in an instant but was also infused with internal-destruction-level Armament Haki, which could ignore external defense and cause internal damage. How could he fight that?!

After realizing that he might not be Karl’s opponent.

Kaido, not wanting to be defeated by Karl in front of the whole world and then be besieged by his enemies and the pirates of the New World, directly joined forces with Charlotte Linlin.

Since he couldn’t beat him, then he wouldn’t fight him.

If one couldn’t beat him, then two surely could, right?

Clearly, by forming an alliance, Kaido was directly telling Karl, "I’m not playing this live broadcast game anymore."

It was precisely because of this that Karl had shaken his head helplessly.

These overlords being scared meant that the second world broadcast would be difficult to start.

After all, no one wanted to be the second Charlotte Linlin, nor did they want their pirate crew to become the second Totto Land Kingdom.

After Kaido flipped the table and quit playing, Karl couldn’t be bothered to start a second broadcast either.

While the New World was in a mess, Karl returned to the first half of the Grand Line to relax.
