While Akainu was in the meeting, he received the latest intelligence: both the Kuja Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were now heading towards Kaido’s territory.

“Based on our current intelligence, Shin Uzumaki and Whitebeard have likely teamed up to take on Kaido.”

“What are your thoughts?” Akainu’s gaze swept over the others.

The old generation had all retired. Akainu could only consult with the others, mainly the three Admirals. Even Ryokugyu was present, and they all began to discuss the matter.

“I think we don’t need to act. We can just sit back and watch them fight,” Ryokugyu said lightly.

This was a good thing for them. A fight between pirates would only further weaken their strength.

“I know it’s best to sit back and watch, but I want to get involved,” Akainu stood up, the fire in his eyes unconcealed. For him, this was an opportunity. If they could fight until both sides were exhausted, then they could make a move.

“I think it’s best not to get involved…” Kizaru didn’t agree.

What good would it do for them to get involved? Did they really think it would be so easy to profit from a fight between Emperors?

If they really were both exhausted, then it wouldn’t matter. Kizaru would think it was a good idea to intervene. But the key was, they wouldn’t be. The final result would undoubtedly be Kaido getting crushed.

“Admiral Kizaru is right. Now is not the time to deal with Shin Uzumaki.”

Fujitora chose to agree with Kizaru. It wasn’t that their relationship was particularly good, but that Fujitora felt Kizaru was right. The final result would be Shin Uzumaki and Whitebeard winning, and they wouldn’t suffer much damage.

Kizaru and Fujitora objected, while Ryokugyu abstained. As for the other Vice Admirals, their opinions mattered less. In the end, no matter what Akainu thought, he had to abandon the plan.

———————

Akainu left the meeting room with a gloomy face. As for the others, they also left one after another.

“Admiral Kizaru, wait a moment.”

Just as Kizaru was about to leave, Fujitora called out to him, stopping him in his tracks.

“Admiral Fujitora, what can I do for you?” Kizaru stopped and asked.

“What are your thoughts on dealing with Shin Uzumaki?” Fujitora asked Kizaru.

“You shouldn’t be asking me about this. You should go discuss it with Fleet Admiral Akainu. I’m off duty now, I’m going to rest.”

Kizaru then left the meeting room. He didn’t want to continue discussing this issue with Fujitora. As for dealing with Shin Uzumaki, anyone who had seen him wouldn’t have such thoughts.

Fujitora’s expression darkened slightly, then he turned to Ryokugyu. Their relationship was quite good.

“Don’t look at me. I’m useless. You have to win over more people.”

Ryokugyu said helplessly to Fujitora.

Fujitora had already told him about Shin Uzumaki’s strength. Anyone who could one-shot Fujitora was not someone Ryokugyu wanted to fight.

Still, if Fujitora insisted, he would help as a friend—so long as they had a chance. But if it was a suicide mission, even Ryokugyu wouldn’t go. No matter how close the friendship, you don’t follow someone to your death.

“I know. I believe I can convince more people.” Fujitora walked out.

Ryokugyu was a little helpless.

Don’t you get it? This isn’t about rallying more people. It’s not that simple. Even if you convinced a whole army to go after Shin Uzumaki, you’d need actually powerful fighters.

If people attacked him, they’d just get obliterated instantly. And that’s the problem—getting wiped out accomplishes nothing. It wouldn’t even scratch him.

———————

On the other side, Shin had no idea that Akainu had thoughts of taking advantage of the situation. The Pluton was now rushing towards Kaido’s territory. They hadn’t rendezvoused with Whitebeard, instead approaching Kaido from two different directions.

“At this point, Kaido should have received the news, right?” Robin guessed.

Unless Kaido’s intelligence was terrible, he would have already received the news that they and Whitebeard were coming for him.

“Even if he knows, it’s useless. Kaido is a dead man this time.”

Shin’s words had already sealed Kaido’s fate.

If Kaido knew the news, he would be desperate. Facing an unbeatable enemy like Shin, he would definitely be desperate.

“Do you think the Marines will take the opportunity to intervene?” Amatsuki Toki asked.

“Probably not,” Momousagi said with certainty.

“That’s not necessarily true. If it were still Sengoku, then maybe not. But with Akainu, it’s not a given.”

Shin knew Akainu was bold. If he really made a move, Shin wouldn’t be surprised.

“Whether he acts or not, it’s no threat to us.”

Shin said with a light chuckle. Whether he acted or not, could Akainu really pose a threat to him?

Compared to Whitebeard, Shin was further away from Kaido’s territory, but their arrival times would be about the same.

———————

“Shin Uzumaki, Whitebeard—you will all die.” Kaido’s face twisted with madness. The three All-Stars stood nearby.

“Blackbeard, this is all because of you, isn’t it?” Kaido stared at Blackbeard and asked.

“Kaido, though I admit Whitebeard is here because of me, don’t you have a part in this? Besides, I didn’t bring Shin Uzumaki here.”

Blackbeard wasn’t intimidated by Kaido’s stare. His strength spoke for itself. Even if they fell out, he wasn’t afraid—at worst, they would simply fight.

So what if they did?

“I think we need to truly unite,” Kaido said to Blackbeard, his tone grave.

He had realized this was not the time for conflict. Their differences could wait until after it was over. For now, they needed to focus on surviving the crisis—otherwise, all their talk would be meaningless.

“Zehahaha, Kaido, you’re right. We need to unite.”

Before, they had called it an alliance, but in truth, each had their own agenda. It had never been a real alliance. Now, however, they had no choice but to unite for real and face this crisis together.

“Whitebeard is mine. You go deal with Shin Uzumaki.”

Blackbeard’s eyes flickered as he spoke to Kaido. In truth, he wanted to avoid facing Shin Uzumaki at all costs.

Hearing him say this, Kaido’s expression darkened—he felt the same. He would rather face Whitebeard than Shin Uzumaki.

“It’s settled then.”
