One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 277 Declaration of War

"I would like to make a joke and drink for others. I have nothing else to ask for! What can boiling oil and hot soup do to me? It tastes better after being boiled hundreds of times!"

Whitebeard's fists creaked, and the king of the sea finally couldn't bear his anger.

A white halo of light converged on his fist, and a dangerous aura spread out.

This is the power of the Earthquake Fruit, which is said to be "enough to destroy the world."

The sky is distorted, the sea is distorted, and space is distorted.

"Kaido!!!"

With a roar like a beast, Whitebeard stood up suddenly, raised his right hand, veins popped out on his arm, and struck the sky hard!

The air was torn and twisted by the terrifying force, and creaked like it was overwhelmed. The Moby-Dick swayed, and some of the under-strength crewmen staggered.

"boom!"

The sky split and the sea split. There was no need for the two "Emperors" to collide, just because of Whitebeard's punch.

The air waves rolled around, setting off hurricanes, and the waves rolled into the distance and turned into tsunamis.

The crisp crackling sound clearly reached everyone's ears.

Patterns like cracks left on glass struck by bullets appeared in the void ahead, centered on Whitebeard's fist.

With this blow, even the space was shattered!

Along the cracks in the broken space, black cracks are vaguely visible.

This is the power of "the strongest man in the world", Whitebeard, venting his anger wantonly.

Finally, the sky calmed down, the sea calmed down, and Whitebeard also calmed down.

Whitebeard's face was very calm, so calm that it was scary. He stood up and announced loudly:

"Children, Kozuki Oden is our family, and we will never tolerate the murder of our family members! Now, as the 'Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates', I declare an official declaration of war on the Beast Pirates!"

His tone was very calm, as calm as if he was announcing a normal trivial matter.

In the original timeline, the Whitebeard Pirates, who knew that Kozuki Oden was dead, had discussed how to invade Wano many times, but they never took action. This is not because the Whitebeard Pirates didn't want to avenge Oden, but it was because they were unable to do so at the time.

The country of Wano was extremely closed, and it was already a long time before the news of Kozuki Oden's death spread to the waters of Wano. Moreover, the Whitebeard Pirates only knew quite general news from beginning to end, such as "Oden is dead" and "Wano Country fell into Kaido's hands". As for how Oden died, they didn't know anything about the situation in Wano.

Moreover, Whitebeard was already very old at that time, his health was not good, and his strength was not as good as before. There is no guarantee of victory against Kaido. The pirates, including Marco, Ace and others, are far from Kaido's opponents. If we forcefully attack Wano, serious casualties are likely to occur. It may even lead to the collapse of the entire pirate group.

If Oden was still alive like Ace, Whitebeard would never hesitate at all and would definitely lead the entire Whitebeard Pirates to fight Kaido to the death. But Oden was already dead, and Whitebeard also hesitated to sacrifice countless living lives for his dead old friend.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates had to put aside their revenge for Kozuki Oden indefinitely.

Things are very different now. Whitebeard's body is generally very healthy, and he is fully confident of defeating Kaido. Neko Viper and Inuarashi, two of Oden's retainers, were enough to provide very clear information. Moreover, with strong support like Rayleigh and Shanks, Whitebeard will not hesitate.

He immediately made a decision - the Whitebeard Pirates will attack the Beast Pirates to avenge the former captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Mitsuki Oden.

"Yes!"

All the still conscious crew members on the Moby Dick let out a deafening roar. The determination is self-evident.

"Marco, declare war on the Beast Pirates! I want everyone to know that the Whitebeard Pirates will invade Onigashima and cut off Kaido's head to honor our second division captain."

"Yes!"

Marco and the others looked stern and murderous, and they agreed immediately.

On the sea, conflicts between pirate groups are very common, but "declaration of war" between two pirate groups is extremely rare. Even when Roger and the Golden Lion clashed in Etwall, the two sides did not declare war. The Golden Lion doesn't really want to destroy the Roger Pirates. As long as Roger gives in and is willing to cooperate with the Golden Lion, the two parties can immediately become close comrades-in-arms.

Once you choose to declare war, it almost means that the conflict between the two pirate groups can no longer be bridged, and both sides will fight to the death.

"Rayleigh, thank you very much for the information... This time, time is urgent. I know that Oden is your crew member, but he is my family. I will go to avenge Oden first! Let's drink again when we meet next time. One cup!”

"I will go too. If you go late, I will be the first to chop off Kaido's head!"

Rayleigh had originally thought about discussing the plan to attack Kaido and other issues with this old acquaintance, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out anyway. He knew that Whitebeard, who was already furious at this time, would never listen to anyone's arrangements. Revenge for Kozuki Oden would be a desperate fight without any strategy.

So, he just took a deep look at Whitebeard, turned around, and left the Moby-Dick with Shanks, Inuarashi, and Neko Viper.

Profik, Whitebeard is much more decisive than you think!

"Dad," Marco flew to Whitebeard's side again, "Do I need to inform the leaders of the large fleet?"

"Tell them to attack the Beast Pirates' stronghold in the New World immediately! As for Wano Country, there is no need. You know the outer sea there. There are too many ships and it will be difficult to use them."

Whitebeard looked at the sea in the distance and continued to give instructions:

"Marco, this is a life and death battle. Go and inform the non-combatants to disembark early. Tell everyone to be prepared to die on the battlefield. Dad will avenge them!"

The Whitebeard Pirates have a great cause. In addition to the Moby Dick, there are dozens of pirate groups in the large fleet. In addition to pirates, there are also non-combat members. This kind of arrangement is the same as going to the Navy headquarters to rescue Ace. It can be regarded as breaking the boat. It is obvious that he is ready to fight against the Beast Pirates.

"The Four Emperors are about to become the 'Three Emperors'!"

In the year 1505 of the Haiyuan calendar, since the "Ocean's Shichibukai" was officially established, explosive news once again appeared on the sea.

In order to avenge the late second division captain Kozuki Oden,

The Whitebeard Pirates declare war on the Beast Pirates!
