Chapter 199 Everyone has their own agenda
"Mom, what do you want from me, Kaido?"

After answering the phone, Charlotte Linlin spoke in a rather unfriendly tone. Although the two pirate emperors had shared hardships on Boros' ship, they even advanced and retreated together when facing the two newcomers, Esdeath and Tornado.

But Charlotte Linlin has never forgotten that Boros was brought here by the bastard Kaido!
If Kaido hadn't brought trouble upon her, she would still be the captain of the BIG MOM Pirates, the queen of the Totland Kingdom, and the supreme pirate emperor of all nations!
Instead of being a punching bag that gets beaten up by Boros every other day!

But it was also thanks to the fact that she was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Boros many times during this period, especially when she had an bulimia attack and was almost beaten to death by Boros several times, which helped to calm BIG MOM's temper.

Otherwise, according to Charlotte Linlin's personality, she would have rushed to the third team to settle the score with Kaido by now!

"Wuwuwu, you're still holding a grudge against me, Lingling..."

What Charlotte Linlin didn't expect was that as soon as she answered the phone, she heard Kaido crying loudly. Even the Three Calamities beside him tried to persuade him, but it was of no use.

“Brother Kaido, please stop crying. We are all watching you. I can’t hold back my tears if you cry like this… wuwuwu…”

"Brother Quinn, why are you crying too..."

"Quinn you idiot!"

……

The Three Calamities on the other side of the Den Den Mushi were trying to persuade them and narrowly avoided a fight. Instead, they were punched by Kaido, who was crying the loudest, and almost fainted.

"Stop playing tricks, Kaido! I don't have time to chat with you!"

Charlotte Linlin cursed out loud in annoyance when she thought about how Kaido and she had fallen into their current situation, but the Three Calamities under his command still stayed with him.

On the other hand, the four sweet generals are all her biological children. Not to mention the traitor Katakuri, Smoothie and Cracker who are suspected of being in cahoots with Katakuri are also untrustworthy. Only Snag is barely usable.

It just so happens that Snag is the most useless of the four generals of Dessert. Not to mention being comparable to Kaido's Three Calamities, he is not even much stronger than Kaido's Flying Six.

"Wuwuwu... Lingling, you're still scolding me..."

Kaido was crying while beating up the Three Calamities. It was obvious that Boros's fist did not change Kaido's moodiness and unpredictable personality. It might even become worse.

"Go to hell! Kaido!"

Charlotte Lingling was so angry that she was ready to hang up the communicator. From this, it is not difficult to see that BIG MOM's temper has indeed improved a lot. At least she has not lost her temper on the spot.

"Quinn Jack, you guys stop Brother Kaido! I'll explain to Big Mom..."

King tried to snatch the Den Den Mushi, but was slapped away by Kaido.

Even King, the strongest of the Three Calamities, has little chance to fight back against Kaido.

"Let's form an alliance, damn old woman. You don't want to carry that bastard Boros to the throne of the king of the world, do you?"

Kaido, who picked up the Den Den Mushi again, has returned to his cold and cruel state. Rocks at the time was unable to conquer the underage Kaido, and now Boros is unable to do so either!

"What nonsense are you talking about! Kaido! How can that monster become the king of the world..."

Charlotte Linling retorted unhappily. She admitted that Boros was very strong, but didn't Rocks also fail on the way to becoming the king of the world?

No matter how powerful Boros is, he is not necessarily stronger than the Rocks Pirates in their heyday.

"When that monster kills all the celestial dragons, who can say he is not the king of the world?!"

Kaido snorted coldly. The navy that lost the support of the World Government was vulnerable. With Boros's strength and the power of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Group that almost integrated the New World, no one or force on the sea could stop Boros.

"…What do you want to do?"

Charlotte Lingling was silent for a rare moment, and then spoke in a muffled voice.

Given Kaido and BIG MOM's personalities, normal negotiations are almost impossible.

However, under the pressure of Boros, even Kaido and Charlotte Linlin had to make changes, even at the cost of a certain degree of compromise.

"Jin, Quinn, and Jack are all people I can trust..."

Kaido did not directly answer Charlotte Linlin's question. The beasts, who had suffered a lot from Boros' iron fist, actually realized the importance of keeping secrets.

Although Boros never cares about his subordinates' disloyalty, Kaido also has to be on guard against someone knowing their secrets and going to complain.

Once Boros knows their plan, the success rate of backstabs will drop significantly.

"...Owen and Perospero, you two should stay away!"

Charlotte Lingling glanced at her eldest and fourth sons, and gave the order in a rather cold tone.

Except for Snug, who has proved himself with practical actions, Charlotte Linling no longer trusts her children, even her eldest son who was once her favorite.

Perospero, who had just been licking his candy cane nervously, thinking about how to help his mother negotiate with Kaido, paused slightly and looked up at Charlotte Linlin in disbelief.

However, all he got was his mother's almost cold and scrutinizing gaze. Only then did Perospero realize that in his mother's mind, he was as untrustworthy as Katakuri.

"...Okay, Mom."

Perospero did not show any abnormality. He lowered his head and bent down naturally, retreating to a place where he could definitely not hear the sound of the Den Den Mushi.

"Perospero..."

Owen, who also lowered his head, retreated to a distance with Perospero. He first secretly glanced in the direction of his mother, and after confirming that the distance was safe enough, he nervously wanted to say something.

"Go inform Katakuri and tell him about the alliance between mom and Kaido."

Before Owen could open his mouth to persuade him, Perospero, who had always been more inclined towards his mother, suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Great! Perospero, you finally figured it out!"

Owen was overjoyed. He was still worrying about how to convince his elder brother, but he didn't expect Perospero to take the initiative to ask him to inform his brother Katakuri.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to betray my mother, but she has lost trust not only in Katakuri, but also in us..."

Perospero licked the candy cane slower and slower, but his eyes and expression became more and more determined.

"Yes, Mom is almost out of patience. If this continues, sooner or later one of my brothers and sisters will die at my hands..."

Owen recalled the horrible scene when his mother was angry, and he shuddered involuntarily.

It is precisely because they don't want to see their brothers and sisters being killed by their mother that they choose to support Katakuri. "Trust Katakuri, he will definitely protect his brothers and sisters!"

Perospero crushed the candy cane, the hard candy crunching in his mouth.

While the members of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates were each harboring their own ulterior motives, the smoke and dust from the Red Harbor explosion gradually dissipated, revealing a broken cross-section that looked as if it had been bitten hard by a Swallowing Island Goldfish.

Almost the entire coastal defense line was destroyed in the explosion, along with thousands of Holy Land Guard Corps soldiers and tens of thousands of pirates from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

Not too many of them were killed directly by the explosion. After all, most of the pirates who could survive in the New World were quite capable.

However, the tsunami caused by the explosion was extremely deadly. The pirates in the explosion area naturally could not escape death, but the most deaths were those unlucky ones who did not have time to land and were swept to the bottom of the sea by the tsunami caused by the explosion.

These people accounted for almost two-thirds of the death toll. Of the first team with a total strength of more than 100,000, the only ones who survived the explosion were the vanguard troops of less than 30,000 who had rushed into the inland of Red Harbor.

'boom! ’

A column of lava shot up into the sky from the ruins destroyed by the explosion. A large amount of magma fell to the ground and gradually condensed into the shape of Sakaski.

Even the huge explosion caused by detonating the explosive rock could not pose a real threat to the top strong man who possessed super strong observation Haki.

"Humph, you are worthy of being Marshal Kong, you are doing a great job..."

The powerful Observation Haki swept over Red Port, and roughly estimated the number of pirates who were still alive in Red Port. Sakaski's face, which was always full of toughness, actually showed a rare satisfied smile.

But this smile on his face seemed a little incongruous. If you consider that tens of thousands of people had just died on this battlefield, Sakaski's smile could even be described as hideous.

"Tsk, I really got tricked..."

At the same time, an ice coffin standing on the edge of the coastal defense line suddenly collapsed, and Esdeath, who was also unharmed, walked out of the broken ice coffin.

Looking at the coast that had been swallowed by the sea, a hint of anger appeared on the beautiful face of the imperial female general, which was as beautiful as ten thousand years of ice and snow.

Esdeath didn't care about the lives of the pirates, but as a commander, the soldiers under her command suffered heavy casualties, which somewhat damaged her reputation.

"Lord...Lord Esdeath, should we continue the attack?"

A few senior fighters who had managed to escape the disaster immediately approached Esdeath. They were all frightened by the huge explosion.

If it weren't for the warning from the Observation Haki, few people except the top strong ones would have survived the explosion of the Dynamite Rock.

"What is the mission of the first team?"

Esdeath glanced coldly at the senior fighter who was speaking. She was a commander loved by the army, but the prerequisite was that the soldiers obeyed her orders and fought bravely.

Esdeath's methods towards deserters and troublemakers who disobey orders will be even more cruel than Sakaski's.

"Occupy... Occupy Red Harbor... Seize the passage to Mary Geoise..."

The senior fighter who was targeted by Esdeath answered tremblingly, fearing that if he answered slowly, Esdeath would kill him out of anger.

"So what are you waiting for? Keep attacking!"

Esdeath gave a very cold order that after victory she could distribute all the spoils and rewards to her soldiers.

But as long as the war is not over, even if she faces a strong enemy, she will order her troops to charge forward through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

"If we continue to fight, we will all die! I won't accompany you any more!"

Faced with the extremely cold Esdeath, a frightened pirate suddenly roared and shot at Esdeath. Without even confirming whether the shot hit her, he flapped the wings that grew on his back and tried to escape.

He is an animal-type, Bird-Bird Fruit, Swift Form ability user, and possesses an extremely amazing flying speed and long-distance flying ability.

As long as he is not knocked down in the first place, even the top experts who master the Moon Step will not be able to catch up with him.

The most important thing is that this senior fighter who ate the Bird-Bird Fruit has never revealed his abilities. Everyone who knows his devil fruit abilities is dead. He is confident enough to escape from Esdeath by surprise.

"Mokobo Temo!"

However, at the moment when the user of the Bird-Bird Fruit rushed into the sky at an astonishing speed, accompanied by the cold voice of Esdeath, time stopped at this moment.

"Puff!"

Scarlet blood exploded in the air. The upper half of the body of the senior fighter who had eaten the Bird-Bird Fruit was still flying into the sky, but the severed lower half had already fallen to the ground.

The pirates who failed to react were covered in blood, but no one dared to move.

They didn't even see when Esdeath made her move, and a pirate whose strength was no less than theirs was cut in half.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

It was not until this time that screams were heard in mid-air. The Animal-type Devil Fruit gave the user extraordinary vitality. Even though he was cut in half, he did not die immediately. However, the severe pain also prevented this senior fighter from continuing to fly. He fell from the sky and landed not far from where the lower half of his body landed.

"Those who move forward live, those who retreat die!"

Esdeath didn't even look at the senior fighter who was still screaming. Her beautiful eyes just stared coldly at the remaining pirates.

Even after mastering the three colors of Haki, the number of times that Mokopotmo could be used was only increased from once a day to twice a day.

But when she discovered the deserter, Esdeath used her trump card without hesitation.

"If you don't want to die, follow me!"

"Those who move forward live, those who retreat die!"

"Kill all those bastards of the World Government!"

……

Faced with Esdeath's undisguised death threat, even the unruly pirates had to bow their heads and muster up the courage to charge towards Marijoa.

The pirates who had lost their retreat were aroused by Esdeath and burst into amazing fighting power. For a time, they killed the soldiers of the Holy Land Guardian Corps and forced them to retreat step by step.

The defense lines that were originally tenable were breached one after another. Instead of slowing down their offensive after their numbers were reduced, the pirates advanced rapidly under the pressure of Esdeath. For a moment, they swept across most of Red Harbor like a tide.
