Chapter 227 Trophies

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Minato was somewhat unwilling, but still obeyed the order obediently.

"That guy's strength is probably not much worse than Brother Kaido. It's normal that we can't stop him if he wants to escape."

Jin seemed to notice that Minato was in a low mood, and couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.

In his opinion, the performance of this little yellow-haired boy was already ridiculously strong. If it weren't for the incredibly fast and elusive Minato who was constantly restraining him, King and the four Impure World Ninjas might not be a match for Aramaki.

Not to mention that Aramaki's real body was forced to run away. If the Beasts Pirates could have a new member like Minato joining, King would probably wake up with a smile in his sleep.

"If Kushina were here... I have to leave since the mission failed. I hope we can have a chance to continue our cooperation next time, Jin-senpai."

Minato scratched his head and made up his mind to learn sealing techniques from Kushina when he returned. Otherwise, with his current abilities, if he met an opponent like Aramaki again, he would really have no solution.

Before leaving, Minato did not forget to say goodbye to Jhin. If Jhin had not offered to help, he might have left even earlier.

"Well, you are very good. I also hope that there will be a chance to fight side by side with you again... Konoha Ninja Village, right? I will remember it!"

King took the initiative to reach out and bump fists with Minato. Although it was a pity that he couldn't immediately pull this little yellow-haired boy into the Beasts Pirates, King already knew that the Konoha Ninja Village was an organization similar to a mercenary group, and there would be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

Minato could also feel that King and the Beasts Pirates had feelings for him, but he did not express anything extra. As a Konoha ninja, it was impossible for him to join other organizations.

After Minato left, the four Impure World Ninjas also turned into four corpses, which made Jin feel a little regretful. He was quite interested in these monsters who had immortal bodies and good fighting abilities.

However, King, who is determined to bring Minato into the Beasts Pirates, does not want to lose sight of the big picture. If it were Quinn, he might have the nerve to get some information from Minato.

"Hey, do you want to continue acting?"

Seeing that Kaido was not only able to fight against powerful enemies, but also killed a top strong man, Esdeath, who was forced to act with Cyborg Sora, felt extremely unhappy.

If it weren't for this old man using Borsalino's name, Esdeath would have turned against him long ago. It's a miracle that she can endure it until now.

"You are such an impatient person... Let's stop here!"

Cyborg Sora couldn't help but shook his head, then he released the armament Haki wrapped around his fist and smashed the ice prism thrown by Esdeath into pieces.

However, this time, due to the lack of the protection of Armament Haki and the deliberate relaxation of his muscles, Cyborg Kong's fist was cut by the broken ice and bled.

"You are really dedicated..."

Esdeath couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this. She had no idea what kind of magic potion Borsalino had fed to the old man that he had to continue to be undercover even at this point, and even prepared for the worst by getting himself injured to avoid suspicion.

"It's not a bad thing to be careful, and you'd better be too. The World Government is not as easy to deal with as you think!"

Considering that Esdeath had been patient enough to act with him for so long, Cyborg Sora gave her a special reminder before leaving.

"That's what I want!"

Esdeath obviously didn't take Cyborg Sora's warning seriously. Instead, she hoped that the enemy would be stronger.

Seeing this, Cyborg Sora wanted to give them some more advice, but the outskirts of Marijoa had been occupied by the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. If he didn't leave, even he might not be able to escape.

At the same time, Charlotte Linlin, who was near the city gate, finally captured Shark and Bear who had lost the support of their companions. If all members were present, even if the Seraphim were no match for BIG MOM, they could still cover each other and retreat safely.

But first the snake woman was chopped away by the eagle's chopping wave, and then the flamingo and the bat colluded with the crocodile and the eagle to run away together.

The remaining two Seraphim struggled for more than ten minutes under Charlotte Linlin's attack, but finally became BIG MOM's captives.

"Mom, mom, keep an eye on these two little rascals, don't let them get away!"

Charlotte Lingling dragged the unconscious Shark and Bear and handed the two Seraphim to Cracker and Smoothie respectively.

These are the rare remnants of the Lunalia tribe. As long as we bring them back, the Ten Thousand Nations will have a new race!
"Yes, Mom!"

Cracker and Smoothie did not dare to be careless, because they saw with their own eyes how the Seraphim joined forces to fight against their mother.

Even if they were in a one-on-one fight, they might not be able to win against these two "little guys". To be on the safe side, Perospero even called his pirates to put seastone handcuffs on the two Seraphim.

"What did you catch, Lingling?"

Kaido, transformed into a blue dragon, descended from the sky at this time. He came to show off his achievements to Charlotte Linlin, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

"It's none of your business, Kaido! These two little scoundrels are my trophies!"

Charlotte Linlin blocked Kaido's sight without hesitation. Although theoretically she had formed a temporary alliance with Kaido, for the pirates, it would always be unknown how much binding force the so-called alliance could have.

Two survivors of the Lunaria tribe, who possess amazing strength at such a young age, and have an unclear relationship with the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Such "trophies" are enough to arouse the greed of the Pirate Emperor.

"It's not good to eat alone... Lingling!"

Kaido stared at Charlotte Linlin for a long time, then growled while panting.

Kaido, who had just killed a top warrior, was at the peak of his power. Even Perospero behind BIG MOM couldn't bear the pressure of the beast's power and swallowed subconsciously.

"Anyone who dares to snatch food from me will die an ugly death. Do you want to try, Kaido?!"

However, Charlotte Linlin still had no intention of giving in, and took a step forward against Kaido's momentum. Countless tiny black lightning suddenly exploded around the two pirate emperors. The two domineering auras were ready to go, like two active volcanoes that could erupt at any time, making the air around them seem to solidify.

The cadres of the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates also came behind the two Pirate Emperors respectively. King, who originally wanted to persuade Kaido, couldn't help but widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief when he saw the two Seraphim.

The Lunalia tribe!
In addition to him, the remnant, there are actually survivors of the Lunalia tribe in this sea!
Although the shark and the bear looked a little strange in appearance, the black wings behind them and that familiar yet strange aura made Jhin at least certain that they had the blood of the Lunalia tribe!
"Brother Quinn, why do those two little brats look a bit like Brother Jhin to me?"

Before Jhin could speak, Jack, who had just walked over, scratched his head and asked Quinn, who was standing next to him, in a silly tone.

"Idiot! How can they be similar? Do you think anyone with black wings looks like that sadist?"

Quinn slapped Jack on the back of the head in annoyance and cursed in a low voice.

This idiot didn't even think before he spoke. It would be fine if Brother Kaido didn't know that those two brats were sadistic members of his tribe, but how could he let it go after he knew it?
When Big Mom and Kaido start fighting, Jack will be at least half responsible for what he said!
“But it does look like…”

Jack, who was patted on the head, hadn't reacted yet and retorted a little aggrievedly.

Apart from Brother Kaido, the ones he admires the most are King and Queen. Others may mistake King's aura, but Jack will never make a mistake.

"Hey, old woman, where did you find Jin's people?"

Kaido's eyes swept across the two Seraphim. Normally, he was only interested in animal-type Devil Fruit users, but since they were King's "tribesmen", it was a different matter.

"Where I found it is none of your business. If you want to rob me, just come at me!"

Charlotte Linlin opened her bloody mouth and revealed a terrifying smile. Even when facing the Beasts Pirates whose morale was at its highest, BIG MOM had no intention of giving in.

The fight for spoils is one of the reasons why pirate alliances easily fall out. If the Seraphim were not from the Lunaria clan, they might be willing to compromise with each other in order to maintain the alliance.

But now both Pirate Emperors have reasons why they cannot compromise. Kaido does it for King who is loyal to him, and Charlotte Linlin does it for her dream country. There is no room for compromise between them.

"Oops, oops, oops..."

Perospero, standing behind Charlotte Linling, looked around nervously, trying to find the figure in the crowd that could make him feel at ease.

In order to prevent Charlotte Linlin from taking her anger out on other people, Katakuri took the initiative to separate from them as early as when they landed in Red Harbor, to prevent his younger brothers and sisters from being hurt by mistake when his mother wanted to attack him.

From this point of view, Katakuri's choice cannot be said to be wrong. Although Charlotte Linlin, who has not been able to find him, is furious, she has not vented her anger on her other children.

But when a conflict was about to break out between Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, without Katakuri, an important fighting force, Perospero couldn't imagine how tragic the outcome would be once the fight started.

"Katakuri doesn't seem to be here, damn old woman, are you sure you want to fight with me here?!"

Kaido's incarnation, the Azure Dragon, suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and spoke with a hint of threat.

Although it is difficult to determine the winner in the battle between him and Charlotte Linlin, with the BIG MOM Pirates missing its main fighting force, Katakuri, none of Charlotte Linlin's children can stop King.

"It doesn't matter if that traitor is not here. I can kill all of you by myself!"

Charlotte Lingling's face changed slightly, but she still shouted loudly without giving in.

“… Stop it, Lingling. Those two brats are Jin’s people after all. You know I won’t give up on them! Hand them over, and I’ll owe you another big favor!”

Kaido also doesn't want to fall out with BIG MOM, not to mention that he will have to join forces with her to fight against Boros later. Just based on Kaido's understanding of Charlotte Linlin, if she is forced into a corner, she would rather kill those two little brats than let others get away with it.

"Okay, I'll give those two brats to you, and you don't have to repay the favor you owe me. All you have to do is let Jin marry my daughter and join the Big Mom Pirates!"

Charlotte Linlin replied with a grin. Anyway, all she wanted were members of the Lunalia tribe. It would be worth it if she could get a powerful fighter for free, even if it was two for one.

"Jin is my man!"

Kaido was furious. Although he often recruited other people's subordinates, it did not mean that Kaido would tolerate others poaching his people!
Especially since King is one of the three strongest and most loyal followers of Kaido. If it were before he met Boros, with Kaido's personality, he would have probably fought with Charlotte Linlin by now.

"I caught those two brats! They're mine now!"

Charlotte Linlin was also furious. She had finally caught the "trophy", and Kaido, that bastard, wanted to take it away with just one word?!

As the atmosphere between the two pirate emperors became increasingly tense, the pirates from the Beast and Big Mom Pirates also prepared for a fight.

"Hmm? Are you guys going to have a fight? Can I be included in the fight?"

However, just when the two pirate emperors were on the verge of a fight, the appearance of Esdeath made the two pirate emperors calm down instantly.

What they feared was not only Esdeath, but also Boros behind this guy.

“Let’s talk about that after the war, Brother Kaido! We finally managed to reach Marijoa, there’s no reason to give up halfway…”

Jin suppressed his longing for his tribe members and took the initiative to stand up and persuade Kaido.

On the other side, Cracker and Snaggle are also trying to convince Charlotte Linlin that now is not the time to turn against Kaido. They should at least wait until the end of this war, otherwise it will only benefit the World Government.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the cadres of both sides, the two pirate emperors finally did not turn against each other and fight on the spot, but this result made Esdeath a little disappointed.

Although the atmosphere in the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates became a little tense due to the near conflict between the two Pirate Emperors, they were about to break through Marijoa's 'last line of defense' and the legendary holy land was within sight.

At this point, even the most short-sighted pirate will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they can capture Marijoa, they can end the rule of the World Government!
Years of rule are both an accumulation and a burden for the World Government. The supreme holy land of Marijoa is certainly an excellent endorsement of the World Government's rule, but once Marijoa falls, the majesty accumulated by the World Government over the past eight hundred years will be destroyed!
