**************

"Okay, you have my word."

Charlotte Linlin, widely feared as Big Mom, found herself ensnared by Kaido's cunning plan and her own insatiable ambitions. Her towering presence belied a sharp mind that sought profit at every turn. She agreed to form an alliance with Kaido under specific terms: Wanokuni would belong to Kaido, Uchiha Madara would be hers, and Kaido would provide the Big Mom Pirates with a monthly shipment of seastone for free.

By these terms, Linlin was undoubtedly the biggest winner, but true to her nature, she was far from satisfied. Greed coursed through her like a second lifeblood, and she demanded more.

"One more condition," she declared, her voice cutting through the tension like a blade. "After defeating Uchiha Madara, you must help me deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and capture that brat, Uchiha Sasuke. I want them both. Don't even think about refusing this, Kaido, if you want my help!"

Her eyes gleamed with malice, and the air around her seemed to thicken with her simmering resentment. Memories of a humiliating failure still haunted her.

Two years earlier, Linlin had attempted to exploit the injuries of Whitebeard and Uchiha Sasuke, boldly invading the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. But the gamble had backfired spectacularly. By the time she arrived, both Whitebeard and Sasuke had recovered, and the battle had turned into a catastrophic loss for her forces. Even she, the mighty Big Mom, had been overwhelmed and driven into such a rage that it took her two months to recover from the ordeal. The sting of that humiliation had festered ever since, fueling her desire for vengeance.

Kaido, who bore his own hatred for the Uchiha name, didn't hesitate. "Fine, it's settled," he growled. A sinister smile tugged at the corners of his lips before his expression darkened. "But first, let's see if you've gotten rusty over these past two years! Otherwise, your help won't be needed."

With a roar that shook the heavens, Kaido unleashed a burst of hot air, his immense form radiating raw power. He gripped his spiked mace and swung it with devastating force, aiming for Linlin. The skies seemed to crack under the might of the blow as the weapon descended with earth-shattering ferocity.

Linlin responded without hesitation, her reflexes honed to perfection. Wielding her massive sword, she met Kaido's strike head-on. Sparks erupted like fireworks, and the collision sent terrifying shockwaves rippling through the air, shattering the silence of the battlefield.

This was more than just a clash of brute strength; it was a veiled test, a cover-up. Kaido was no mere brute-his cunning rivaled his strength. He knew the value of testing his ally before putting his trust in her. Linlin, for her part, refused to yield, her laughter booming as she parried Kaido's strikes with unrelenting vigor.

The world around them seemed to hold its breath as these two titans collided, each blow echoing with the weight of their mutual ambition and simmering distrust.@@novelbin@@

To ensure their alliance remained secret, they had to make it look like just another clash between Yonko.

Their battle raged for three days and nights, reducing the Island to rubble and forcing countless inhabitants to flee.

When the dust settled, Kaido left, grinning, while Linlin covertly instructed Katakuri to gather their elite forces and prepare for Wanokuni.

The chaos caused by these two Yonko did not escape the Marine's notice, but they remained unconcerned.

Kaido's drunken rampages were nothing new, and Sengoku, already overburdened, had other pressing matters.

The Straw Hat Pirates had recently destroyed Enies Lobby, and news of their exploits had spread across the seas, solidifying their status as one of the most infamous crews in the first half of the Grand Line.

Monkey D. Luffy's bounty had skyrocketed to 100 million berries.

Sengoku, however, was furious-not with Luffy, but with Garp.

The Marine hero's family had become his greatest source of headaches.

Garp's son was now the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and the most wanted criminal in the world.His elder grandson had joined the Whitebeard Pirates as the Second Division Commander.And now, his youngest grandson had become the face of the Enies Lobby destruction.

Worse yet, Garp seemed proud of all of them! Every time Sengoku tried to scold him, Garp would laugh and praise his family's "achievements."

Sometimes Sengoku wanted to punch Garp, though he swore it wasn't because he feared losing the fight.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.

They weren't the only ones; the island was buzzing with activity as other Supernovas gathered.

This generation of rookies had earned the nickname "The Worst Generation."

In Shakky's Rip-Off Bar, Luffy and his crew sat in stunned silence, staring at the old man before them.

"Rayleigh-san... you were the vice-captain of the Pirate King's crew?" Carina almost shrieked, unable to believe the kindly old man's identity.

Rayleigh chuckled, his gaze distant as he recalled his adventures with Gol D. Roger.

"Yes, I was. But you've done something even Roger couldn't-destroying Enies Lobby and shaking the world."

His eyes lingered on Luffy's straw hat, a knowing smile forming on his face.

"In the future, you'll sail freely across this sea, just like Roger did."

Though he didn't say it aloud, Rayleigh believed Luffy to be Shanks' chosen successor,

carrying Roger's will.

Luffy, as brash as ever, grinned and declared, "Of course! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Carina, exasperated, smacked him on the head.

"Idiot! Don't claim credit for things we didn't do!"

She turned to Shakky and explained,

"Enies Lobby wasn't destroyed by us-it was that woman and the Buster Call!"

Shakky, intrigued, pressed for details.

The crew recounted the events of that day, describing the mysterious woman who appeared

and summoned a massive hand that obliterated the island.

"A giant hand... Could it be?" Shakky mused, her cigarette resting on her lips.

"I think I know who that is."
