Chapter 285 - 285: The Situation on the Other Side

Sasaki, who possesses the Ancient Type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Triceratops Model, could only dodge around under Perona's bombardment, feeling somewhat speechless for a moment.

He had only hesitated for a few seconds, and when he turned around, the only enemy left was this irritable loli. Under the bombardment of ghosts, he could only dodge while looking for an opportunity.

On this battlefield, at the very least, one had to be a Tobi Roppo to be qualified to participate. The remaining Headliners and Numbers could only watch this escalating battle from Onigashima while trembling.

Moria originally wanted to help his adoptive daughter deal with this enemy, but Perona, worried about Carrot, saw Black Maria chasing Carrot into the forest...

...and sent Moria into the forest to help Carrot, the ship's mascot.

In the chaotic battle, everyone had found their respective opponents, but during the fight, they all tacitly avoided the central area.

The collision between Kaido and Hera continued. The aftershocks of the battle between the two powerhouses turned this area into a death zone, with lightning and fire intersecting in the sky.

Under Hera's control, space itself cracked into pieces, slicing at the dragon scales on Kaido's body.

The small fries caught in the crossfire, upon entering this area, either suddenly aged or were inadvertently sliced into several pieces by the spatial cracks.

But for Kaido, known as the world's strongest creature, these moves were not enough. The powerful physical constitution and self-healing abilities brought by his Mythical Zoan Type allowed him to continuously recover from his previous injuries even as he was being wounded.

This great war naturally attracted the attention of various forces. The Big Mom Pirates, far away on Cake Island, also discovered Kaido's situation, but at this moment, they had no time to worry about his side.

On the eve of the battle at Onigashima, Big Mom's Tea Party was held as scheduled. The Vinsmoke Family, having received orders from Hera, also came to Cake Island and made an agreement with Big Mom.

Proposing a marriage between Sanji and Pudding, Big Mom, who wanted to acquire the Vinsmoke Family's Cyborg technology and various sciences, readily agreed to Judge's request.

The Straw Hat crew, in order to rescue Jinbe who had been captured by Big Mom, also disguised themselves and came to Cake Island.

After arriving on the island, several of them were attacked by Charlotte Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders. Amidst the assault of a horde of candy men, the Straw Hat crew was separated.

Sanji was also captured by Charlotte Opera, a Paramecia-type Cream-Cream Fruit user who arrived later, and along with Jinbe, was imprisoned in a cell created by Charlotte Mont-d'Or using his Book-Book Fruit ability.

However, with the help of the Vinsmoke Family, the Straw Hat crew defeated Charlotte Cracker and even blew up the cake Big Mom was most looking forward to.

With her appetite unsatisfied, Big Mom immediately fell into a berserk state and began to wreak havoc across Cake Island.

Therefore, after receiving news that Kaido's Beasts Pirates had been attacked by Hera, the members of the Big Mom Pirates were even less able to spare any effort.

Although Big Mom and Kaido had formed an alliance, they were after all each one of the Four Emperors, the Emperors of the Sea on this ocean, so when not acting together, they still occupied their own respective territories.

Although Charlotte Brulee's Mirror-Mirror Fruit allowed for rapid support, at this moment, she was busy trying to trap the berserk Big Mom inside a mirror.

Kaido also felt that he couldn't possibly lose, and certainly wouldn't take the initiative to seek help from Big Mom.

News of two Four Emperors' crews being attacked at the same time spread across the entire sea. News Coos sped through the sky, trying their best to capture the battle situation.

At the pinnacle of World Government power, within Pangea Castle in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the five old geezers gathered once again to discuss how to handle the ensuing situation.

The newly appointed warrior god of finance, Saint Figarland Garling, slammed the table in anger:

"That Nightmare fellow, how dare he directly go to war with the Beasts Pirates, especially when the Beasts Pirates have already allied with the Big Mom Pirates."

"Does she even have any respect for our World Government at all!"

Saint V. Nusjuro, the warrior god of justice, took a deep breath and said calmly, "What does Sengoku say? Have you contacted him yet? Tell him to call Nightmare back immediately."

The CP0 agents standing by heard Saint V. Nusjuro's order and hurriedly dialed Sengoku's transponder snail, but on the other end, there was no answer.

Saint Peter's brow furrowed slightly. This behavior from the Marines was not a good sign; they were protesting the World Government's actions.

At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku was looking at the ringing transponder snail before him with a troubled face. Beside him, Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru sat on either side.

Sengoku sighed. Avoiding it forever wasn't an option, so he reached for the incessantly ringing transponder snail.

Garp wanted to reach out and stop him, but Tsuru's glare halted his movement. He pulled back his hand to rub his head and chuckled.

"This is Sengoku. What is the matter?"

After answering and saying those words, Sengoku immediately moved the transponder snail away from his ear. Sure enough, a sharp roar erupted from it:

"Good, so you do know how to answer the phone. What's going on with Nightmare Admiral? Why the sudden clash with the Beasts Pirates?"

The Gorosei, who were bursting with anger, immediately vented their fury on Sengoku the moment he picked up, questioning him aggressively.

Sengoku feigned ignorance and said, "Is that so? I didn't know. Isn't she out at sea rectifying Marine discipline? How did she end up in Wano Country?"

On the other end, the new warrior god of finance grew even angrier upon hearing Sengoku playing dumb. "You bastard! Hurry up and tell her to come back! Where are the other Admirals?"

Sengoku said, "Oh, what a coincidence. Hasn't Borsalino gone to protect your Holy Land? He's not at Marine Headquarters right now. As for Kuzan, he's currently on vacation."

Hearing Sengoku's words, warrior god of finance Saint Garling became even more enraged. Sengoku's words undoubtedly signaled his stance—he was firmly supporting Nightmare Admiral's side.

He directly threatened Sengoku, "Sengoku, don't forget who provides the funding for your Marines. Have Hera return immediately, and we can drop this matter."

Sengoku simply pretended he couldn't hear. "Hello? Hello? What did you say? I suddenly can't hear clearly over here. Is something wrong with the transponder snail?"

He hung up the phone directly, leaving the five old geezers fuming on the other end.
