91. Sankō

In the morning, a few days after the melee had ended, flocks of news birds were busy flying around the world, carrying a piece of news that shook the entire globe.

Marine cleared the New World, the Pirate Alliance completely disintegrated, and new overlords emerged on the sea following the demise of the Pirate King. The World Economic News dubbed them of the Sea!

Whole Cake Island.

"Ma~ma Ma~ma! Sankō? I aim to become the Pirate King!"

Big Mom was seldom seen eating; instead, she held a newspaper in her hand. Her expression appeared somewhat peculiar, making it unclear whether she was happy or angry.

"Mama, aside from the deaths of several younger brothers and sisters in the family like Saint Marc, Tablet, High-fat, and Moscato, Mont-d'Or and Smoothie were severely injured, and a considerable number of other battle homies were lost."

Perospero stood by and carefully recounted the statistics.

"Trash, they're all a bunch of trash!"

Big Mom is extremely furious now. She spent numerous years giving birth to these children one after another. They had tremendous potential, but she did not anticipate that they would meet their demise before reaching maturity.

Katakuri's expression on the side became even more grim. He was already in a foul mood upon hearing the news of his younger brother and sister's death, but it worsened after hearing Big Mom's comments. He had clearly witnessed Saint-Marc's death in the aftermath of the battle with Big Mom!

"Ma~ma Ma~ma! What a grand gesture! Marine——!"

"How about the casualties and damage sustained by the Whitebeard and Beast Pirates forces?"

"According to our intelligence, the forces of the Beast Pirates are the most intact. Only Kaido himself participated in this skirmish, while the Whitebeard Pirates suffered more substantial damage. Several of his affiliated pirate groups were annihilated, but the overall strength has not been significantly diminished."

"Also," Perospero cast a cautious glance at the change in Big Mom's expression and continued, "of the pirate alliance that invaded the waters of Totto Land, Klaus and Lackham were captured by us, and Yermak was shot dead on the spot by Marine, only Francis managed to escape alone..."

Big Mom was furious, and a demonic aura erupted from her body. "Well! I must have that guy's head!"

"Mama, Francis has surrendered to Kaido of the Beasts and is now one of the All-Stars in the Beast Pirates!" Perospero reminded slowly. (T/N: Originally was written as drought, but I changed it to All-stars as in the wiki it was written that Jack got the title drought for his destruction)

"Kaido? Has this guy forgotten my kindness?"

...

Aboard Moby Dick.

"Dad, it seems that Marine's real target is not us at all. It's a scene orchestrated by Marine from beginning to end. They divided the battlefield into two parts. The main target is actually the Pirate Alliance, which just happens to involve our Whitebeard Pirates, the Beast Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates."

Marco drooped his eyelids, leaned on the side of the boat, and said coldly.

"Gurarara, that Linlin should be very angry now. After all, the target of the Pirate Alliance is her!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly. Although he and Big Mom had once shared a ship, their relationship was not very good. He knew that if Marine managed to kill him, Big Mom would be happy to take a bite at him.

Whitebeard knows very well that Big Mom has long coveted Fish-Man Island, which he protects.

"But this should be a good thing. Now the situation on the sea has reached the balance that the World Government guys want. At least for a while, Marine will not take any big actions."

"Furthermore, dad, you are now recognized by the whole world as Sankō!"

"Gurarara! It doesn't matter, the important thing are you children!"

Whitebeard raised a wine-filled glass, aimed it at his throat, tilted his head back, and took a sip.

...

Wanokuni, Onigashima.

"Kaido-sama, here's the latest newspaper. Morgans from the World Economic News even dropped by for a visit, but you were too busy drinking, so you missed him."

King was clad in black, his entire form tightly enveloped.

"Sankō? Worororo! But my ambitions don't stop there!"

Kaido took the newspaper, glanced at it casually, and then started laughing and crying.

"By the way, how were the Wanokuni warriors who followed Oden suppressed?"

"Most of them were imprisoned and sent to Udon to excavate seastone. But on Master Yamato's side..."

"Yamato? What's happening with my rebellious son!"

Speaking of Yamato, Kaido couldn't help but feel a headache. As Kaido's child, well, I should say daughter, aside from yelling every day about wanting to be the legendary Kozuki Oden and getting rid of her father, she seemed to have some other issues.

Originally, Yamato couldn't help but be impressed by Oden after witnessing Oden's death at the age of eight. However, since finding Oden's diary, the influence of Oden on Yamato has become more pronounced.

It would be fine if Yamato was just a fan of Oden, but this person awakened Conqueror's Haki at the age of eight. Moreover, he accidentally consumed a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit not long ago. Being a Mythical Zoan user, Kaido naturally possesses knowledge about the formidable abilities of Mythical Zoan fruits.

Originally, Kaido had the idea of having his disobedient child serve as the general of Wano Country, managing it on his behalf. However, it seems that all this person thinks about is probably how to expel Kaido from the invader of Wano Country.

"Master Yamato attempted to sneak out again while you were away, but the emperor caught her, and now she's held captive in Onigashima Prison."

"Such a rascal. Keep that person in jail and let her reflect for a while. Also, replace the seastone handcuffs on her hands with ones of higher concentration."

"Yes!"

...

North Blue, Donquixote Family.

"Fufufu! Sankō? The sea is really getting more and more lively..." (T/N: Can't replicate his laugh in text)

The man in the pink feather coat and sunglasses reclined on a wicker chair, extending his large bronze hand to grasp at the sun in the sky, as though he intended to extinguish the light of the entire world in his palm.

"You say so, Rosinante, my dear brother, Fufufu!"

The man with pink feathers and sunglasses turned to look at the man with a clown face next to him and asked, his eyebrows full of unruliness and ambition.
