One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 151 The Unbelievable Big Mom and Kaido

The New World, the Land of Harmony.

The island was shrouded in dark, gloomy clouds, and the oppressive atmosphere made it seem as if the island had transformed into a giant beast ready to devour everything.

Kaido, the Fifth Emperor, a powerful pirate giant whose might shook the four seas, sat casually on his enormous chair as usual, holding a sake jug in his hand, tilting his head back and gulping it down, shouting incoherently, "Why am I not dead yet? Who can kill me!"

"Waaah, Minos brat, why don't you join Kaido's Beasts Pirates?" Kaido muttered, his drunkenness rising, his words filled with confusion and regret. "Why is that?"

Beneath Kaido's enormous chair, King stood quietly. As always, he was intently focused on the latest newspaper that had just been delivered to his hands.

Jin was usually extremely calm and composed, but when his gaze swept quickly across the newspaper, his eyes were instantly filled with shock, and he stood frozen in place as if he had been frozen in place.

The events reported in the newspapers in just a few days were so astonishing that they were unprecedented changes in the history of the New World!

Kaido, sitting in his chair, caught a glimpse of King out of the corner of his eye; King had been holding a newspaper for a long time without moving or saying a word. A sense of unease crept in, and he called out loudly, "Hey, King! What are you doing!"

However, at this moment, King was completely absorbed in the shocking news in the newspaper, as if the whole world consisted only of the newspaper in his hand, and he was deaf to Kaido's shouts.

Seeing that King had no reaction and his gaze remained fixed on the newspaper, Kaido's slightly drunken mind instantly cleared up.

He couldn't help but wonder, "What incredible news has Jin seen? Why is he acting so out of control?"

Seeing King still standing there in a daze, Kaido could no longer contain himself and roared at the top of his lungs, "King, did you even hear me?! What happened?!"

Under Kaido's series of high-decibel shouts, King finally snapped out of his daze and slowly came back to his senses.

But the look of horror in his eyes, though he tried his best to hide it, was still hard to completely conceal.

Seeing that King still hadn't responded, Kaido's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his voice grew louder and more annoyed: "King, I'm talking to you, are you even hearing me?!"

Upon hearing Kaido's impatient words, King quickly snapped out of his daze and said with a hint of panic, "Admiral Kaido, the news reported in the newspapers is so shocking that I can't believe it at all, so... that's why I didn't hear what you said."

Kaido, sitting in his chair, couldn't help but burst into laughter at King's panicked appearance: "King! There's no need to be so alarmed. I'm just curious what news could have made you so flustered!"

King took a deep breath, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Admiral Kaido, the Red-Haired Pirates have been defeated! And the Whitebeard Pirates have also been defeated!"

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Kaido instantly doubted whether he had misheard.

"What? The Red-Haired Pirates were defeated! And the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated too?"

Kaido's eyes widened. He could understand each word clearly when they were spoken individually, but when put together, they seemed unbelievable and completely incomprehensible to him.

Whitebeard, that powerful old man, is now old and his strength has declined. There might still be a slight possibility that he will be defeated, which Kaido can barely believe.

However, the Red-Haired Pirates were defeated? This was beyond Kaido's comprehension, plunging him into deep doubt.

Of these Sea Emperors, Kaido knows the others quite well.

However, the Red-Haired Pirates are a special case. Their strength is unfathomable, and even the Beasts Pirates would not have a full chance of winning if they faced them head-on.

Now, someone is telling him that the Red-Haired Pirates have been defeated. How can he believe that?

Thinking of this, Kaido slammed the wine jug in his hand onto the ground with a loud bang. The jug shattered into pieces, and wine splashed everywhere.

Kaido jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open, and roared, "How is this possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido's terrifying Conqueror's Haki involuntarily erupted.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful mental suppression force swept across the entire Ghost Island like a surging tide.

The entire Ghost Island erupted in chaos, with the island's henchmen shouting in panic, "What's going on?!" They thought a powerful enemy had invaded Ghost Island.

However, this Conqueror's Haki only lasted for a moment before it abruptly stopped.

Inside the Onigashima palace, Kaido gradually calmed down. He looked at King with a hint of seriousness in his eyes and slowly said, "King, show me the newspaper. I want to see for myself what really happened."

Seeing that Kaido had calmed down, King didn't dare to delay and quickly handed him the newspaper.

And so, Kaido and the others learned of the momentous events that Minos and the Shadow King had accomplished that shook the New World.

……

Meanwhile, in the new world, in all nations.

Whole Cake Island, the main city of the Five Emperors, is usually bustling and lively, but at this moment, a tense atmosphere permeates the air.

The old woman sat in the main seat of the palace, clutching a newspaper tightly in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on the contents of the newspaper, and her face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

Both the defeat of the Whitebeard Pirates and the loss of the Red-Haired Pirates were like bombshells, creating a huge uproar in Big Mom's heart.

Whitebeard was a crewmate who had once been on the same ship as her, and Big Mom knew all too well how powerful he was.

Even though Whitebeard is now quite old, his reputation and strength are still formidable, and he is not someone who can be easily defeated. However...

It's truly unbelievable that they were outmaneuvered by two young pirate brats, Minos and Aokiji, and ultimately suffered a defeat.

As for the Red-Haired Pirates, needless to say. Shanks, with his extraordinary strength and charisma, forcefully ascended to the position of one of the Four Emperors, making a name for himself in the New World, a place teeming with powerful figures, at a young age, enjoying unparalleled glory.

Moreover, the Red-Haired Pirates are full of talented individuals, with the unfathomable strength of the vice-captain Beckman, along with a host of other powerful figures such as Yasopp.

The fact that such a powerful pirate crew was defeated by that brat Shadow King is simply unbelievable; no one would believe it.

Thinking of all this, the woman's gaze swept coldly over her children standing below, like a fierce wolf.

Her voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, filled with chilling coldness: "I absolutely do not believe that brat Shadow King could defeat the Red-Haired Pirates. This intelligence is definitely false, I simply do not believe it!"

After saying that, the old woman's gaze suddenly fixed on Katakuri, and she said fiercely, "Kakutari, I want you to personally confirm the matter between the Red-Haired Pirate and that brat, Shadow King."

"Once it's confirmed to be true, come back and report to me immediately. Katakuri, can you handle this matter?"

Under the intense, almost tangible gaze of the old woman, Katakuri remained remarkably calm. His face showed no sign of panic as he calmly said, "I understand, Mom."

After speaking, Katakuri turned around and left Whole Cake Island with steady steps.

All that remained were the fierce-looking old woman and her brothers and sisters who were trembling with fear.

The old woman watched Katakuri's departing figure, then turned her fierce gaze to her remaining children and roared, "Listen up, all of you! Be on guard at all times, lest someone take the opportunity to invade our territory. Do you understand?"

Under the terrifying gaze of the older woman, the remaining children turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly, their voices trembling as they replied, "We understand."

The woman snorted coldly, then fell silent. The entire palace fell into a deathly silence, with only the tense and oppressive atmosphere growing ever stronger...
