One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Chapter 450: 451 Marine’s Conspiracy



Kaido and the others don't know what's going on right now. They also don't know when Rob Lucci, who belongs to the Cipher Pol Aegis, will come to rescue them. All they can do is wait quietly.

"I don't know if the Marines or the World Government will actually come to rescue us. Will they release us smoothly?" Big Mom said, sounding worried.

"The Whitebeard Pirates are now fighting the Marines. In the Flower Capital, it's likely just the Nine Red Scabbards and those garbage samurai. They're nothing to worry about," Kaido reassured himself.

"But, Boss Kaido, I have a question," Jack asked cautiously.

"What is it?" 

"That's right, the person just said that the Whitebeard Pirates were repelled by the Marines. If that's the case, Whitebeard wouldn't be staying here. He wouldn't ignore his crew. So, could it be that the Marines didn't actually send their main force?" 

"Marine might want to release us first, use our last bit of value against Whitebeard, and then they will be the last to act," Jack said.

"In that case, we won't have a chance to join forces with Marine at all. We're just being used by them," Quinn said, sweating nervously.

"Don't scare yourself. I sensed Whitebeard's impatience earlier. It seems his pirate group is in crisis. Once we're released, we must first observe the situation." 

"If Marine is just trying to use us as the vanguard, we won't contribute," Kaido said.

"Mama Mamaa, I didn't expect that as Four Emperors, we'd end up joining forces with Marine. It's really shameful."

Big Mom sighed. She remembers how prestigious she was on Cake Island, but now even her children are with Whitebeard.

....

On the other hand, Rob Lucci quickly contacted Marine Fleet Admiral Akainu after finishing the call.

"Fleet Admiral Akainu, this is Rob Lucci, captain of World Government CP0. I've contacted Kaido and his group. They are willing to cooperate with Marine to deal with Whitebeard, but you need to send someone to release them first," Rob Lucci reported.

"Wait, I heard these people have joined Whitebeard. Are you joking? Do you want them to fight against Whitebeard alongside us? Even if the World Government is involved, it's my responsibility to handle pirate threats"

"As Fleet Admiral, i'm in charge of this. I hope you don't cause any more problems," Akainu said with irritation.

If the other party weren't affiliated with the Celestial Dragons, Akainu wouldn't even bother talking to them. He had no regard for the Celestial Dragons and didn't care about their status.

After the Celestial Dragons were defeated by Luffy, Kizaru was the only one willing to send troops. Marine's goal was to suppress pirates for justice, not to please nobles.

"Mr. Akainu, I'm not causing trouble. I can show you the recording of my conversation with Kaido." Rob Lucci then played the recording.

"It really is Kaido's voice." After listening, Akainu confirmed that Rob Lucci was telling the truth.

"If they want to deal with Whitebeard, that's good news. But Rob Lucci, you're in Wanokuni and you're the cp0 captain. Can't you handle the release of Kaido and his people yourself? Why do you need me to send someone?" Akainu asked.

"That's because we don't have enough manpower. Wanokuni is under Whitebeard's control, and his influence is everywhere. Our forces are too weak to handle it on our own," Rob Lucci said.

Akainu thought it over and decided to trust him. To deal with Whitebeard, all risks seemed worth it. 

"Alright, give me the specific location, and I'll send someone there later," 

After ending the call, Rob Lucci sighed with relief. He had completed half of the task and didn't expect much trouble moving forward.

As the captain of CP0, Rob Lucci came to Wanokuni at the request of the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons said: "I heard Whitebeard declared war on Kaido. Kaido has a subordinate named Jack who can transform into a giant elephant. Lucci, capture him for me as a mount. Make sure you get it done."

Therefore, Rob Lucci came here to fulfill this request. However, the war between Whitebeard and Kaido is extremely dangerous.

Taking away Jack from the chaos will be very difficult, almost impossible. If his identity is exposed, he will become a target for everyone.

Because of his position in the World Government, Rob Lucci knew in advance that Marine would be dispatched. However, he couldn't find a chance to rescue Jack until the end of the Whitebeard and Kaido war.

Before the war began, Rob Lucci tried to contact Kaido but was rejected. Kaido thought Rob Lucci's request was unreasonable, especially since Jack, the weakest of the Three Plagues, was being asked to become a mount for the Celestial Dragons.

Kaido also valued Jack highly because of his loyalty and obedience.

Kaido quickly refused and even scolded Rob Lucci, as he valued Jack too much to give him up. Now, facing his own troubles, Kaido is willing to consider abandoning Jack if necessary.

....

On the other side, Luffy and the others initially came to watch the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido. However, with Marine's arrival, they now have to join forces to resist Marine together.

Crocodile quickly noticed Marine's attack and saw they were equipped with new weapon, so he decided to retreat immediately.

Crocodile quickly noticed Marine's attack and realized they were well-prepared. Not wanting to fight Marine at sea, where he would be at a disadvantage, he decided to retreat. 

Crocodile prefers land battles and is currently on the same plain as Whitebeard Pirates, alongside Luffy and others.

"Everyone, Marine is focused on Whitebeard, but we'll still be targeted. It's better to join the Whitebeard Pirates and fight Marine directly. We need to make a statement and weaken Marine's prestige," Apoo said.

"Of course, I'll beat all those Marines away!" Luffy said excitedly.

"Why be afraid? Law, Bege, and Kid are all with Whitebeard," Bonney added.

"Hawkins, do you think Whitebeard can beat the Marines this time? They seem pretty strong," Urouge asked.

Hawkins closed his eyes, drew a card, and examined it.
