Chapter 96: Jack, Do You Want a Repeat of Wano?

The crew on the Moby Dick were beyond furious. They had won the summit war, only to face this new threat from the other Four Emperors. What a bunch of Four Emperors!

Fortunately, they still had some strength left. With Whitebeard and all the division commanders present, they were not defenseless. Had Whitebeard died and the commanders been killed or seriously injured, the Whitebeard Pirates, who had stood in the New World for so long, might have been destroyed. They didn't fall before the Navy, but now they were about to be swallowed by the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

"We must deal with this. They're not taking the Whitebeard Pirates seriously at all. Dad, let me handle them!" Marco stood up, speaking to Whitebeard.

"Hmph, these guys have some nerve!" Jozu gritted his teeth in anger.

"If we let them do whatever they want, where will the Whitebeard Pirates' dignity go?" Izou agreed with Marco's view.

Whitebeard understood they needed to be prepared, but the current situation was not optimistic for the Whitebeard Pirates. The immediate priority was to recover their strength as quickly as possible. He was plagued by old injuries and couldn't exert much strength. The division commanders, after the summit war, were exhausted, their bodies at their limits.

Moreover, the enemies were formidable. Whether it was the Beasts Pirates or the Big Mom Pirates, they were all equal to the Whitebeard Pirates as Four Emperors. And there were two of them. Going against them right after the summit war was not wise.

Just as Whitebeard decided to bide their time and recover their strength, Lin Yan spoke up, "We can't ignore this. Let me handle it!"

"Lin?" Whitebeard looked up at Lin Yan and asked, "Can your body handle it?"

Everyone had witnessed Lin Yan's performance during the summit war, and Whitebeard didn't want him to fight again, considering how much he had endured.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of these two matters!" Lin Yan nodded, indicating he was fine. He had been recovering for quite some time at Shaki's bar and was almost fully recovered. Compared to the other division commanders, he was much stronger. Moreover, because they had won the summit war, his system had rewarded him.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task, winning the summit war, and receiving 365 bait!]

While Lin Yan was unconscious, the system had issued the reward. Three hundred and sixty-five bait meant he could fish for an entire year! In a good mood, his injuries healed even faster.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Whitebeard thought for a moment and finally nodded. He had complete confidence in Lin Yan's strength. "Be careful!"

As Lin Yan prepared to leave the Moby Dick, Ain spoke up, delicately addressing him, "Captain, can I go with you?"

"You want to come with me?" Lin Yan asked.

"Is it okay?" Ain lowered her head slightly, but her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Sure!" Lin Yan nodded. Traveling alone could be boring. Having someone to talk to on the way wasn't a bad idea. And so, Lin Yan set sail with Ain.

...

The Beast Pirates

Jack the Drought looked at the island in front of him, which was Whitebeard's territory. His eyes were cold. Before the summit war, the Beasts Pirates wouldn't have dared to be so brazen. However, after the summit war, the Whitebeard Pirates were now weak. Even though they had defeated the mighty Navy, the state of their returning troops was evident to the whole world. If the Beasts Pirates didn't act now, when would they?

To the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates seemed to be taking advantage of their misfortune. But to the Beasts Pirates, this was a rare opportunity to expand their territory. The position of the world's strongest pirate crew needed a change. Why should the Whitebeard Pirates continue to occupy such a seat? Not kicking them out of the Four Emperors was already giving them enough face.

Yes, the reason Jack the Drought appeared here was on Kaido's orders.

"Captain, we've reached Whitebeard Pirates' territory!" a member of the Mammoth Pirates said to Jack the Drought.

Jack glanced at the archipelago ahead and waved his hand, "Bring the ship closer, occupy this island!"

With his command, the Mammoth Pirates' ship approached the island. However, just as the Mammoth Pirates were about to reach the island's port, disaster struck. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the deck of the Beasts Pirates' ship. From this whirlpool, two people walked out.

"Jack the Drought, the summit war just ended, and you Beasts Pirates are already in such a hurry to occupy the Whitebeard Pirates' territory?" The man who emerged from the whirlpool smiled slightly and addressed Jack the Drought.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jack's pupils contracted, and a flash of fear appeared in his eyes. Scenes from Wano reappeared in his mind.

"It's you!! Lin!!!" Jack the Drought shouted each word.

"Nice to see you again. I didn't expect the famous Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates to remember me! So, coming to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, do you want a repeat of what happened in Wano?" Lin Yan said calmly.

Behind him, Ain smiled lightly. As always, their captain's words were sharp, never missing a chance to hit where it hurt, with no hesitation in mocking.
