One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

night.

The country of Wano, deep in the dense forest.

The temporary residence of the Whitebeard Pirates.

For Whitebeard, this time is not a secret operation at all, and he doesn't care whether Kaido notices it at all, so there is no need to wrong himself.

The bonfire was burning, making crackling sounds.

"Hooah..."

After a few sips of strong wine, White Beard smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Margao on the side reminded with a smile: "Dad, there is no doctor here to check your body!"

Whitebeard curled his lips and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the pleasant water be harmful?"

"..."

Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates joked a little.

Then, Whitebeard changed the topic and looked at Lindsay and Yamato who were in deep thought.

"How about it, what did you two think of?"

As the strongest person, Whitebeard has innate confidence and does not bother to hide anything from the [Devil] and Yamato.

Listening to the information told by the Whitebeard Pirates, Lindsay and Yamato were both thoughtful, and they were not thinking in the same direction.

……

Yamato was thinking about the current situation of Wano Country.

"Some strange things have happened in Wano recently."

Yamato sat cross-legged on the ground, tearing into the barbecue and frowning:

"My bastard dad put explosive handcuffs on me, and the scope of my activities has been limited to the 'Ghost Island'."

"That is a small island located in Wano Country. You can see it if you stand higher. It is also the core base camp of the Beast Pirates."

"But not long ago, my bastard dad kicked me out of Ghost Island."

Yamato spread his hands.

"He said that Wano Country's New Year's Festival was about to take place, so he was in a good mood and decided to reduce my 'punishment'."

"So, the scope of my activities has changed from Onigashima to Wano Country."

"It's just...suspicious, isn't it?"

Yamato raised his eyebrows and said, "I felt like my bastard dad was hiding something from me, so I asked someone to inquire about it and found out about the 'expedition'."

"According to the members of the Beast Pirates, after the New Year Festival in Wano Country, Governor Kaido will launch a very large-scale expedition."

"But the strange thing is that this expedition is different from the past. It is quite mysterious. It is said that only Bastard Dad and [Plague] Quinn know the truth."

"But I guess they are probably going to start a war somewhere?"

Yamato was familiar with the Beast Pirates' style of doing things, and soon thought of a bigger suspicion.

"Ever since I left Ghost Island, Quinn and his team of cronies have settled in, and they've been mysterious all day long."

"So I guess that this expedition should also be related to Ghost Island."

"..."

Hearing this, Margao nodded thoughtfully and said: "I see, then are you going to visit Ghost Island now?"

"No need, I've already sneaked in."

Yamato spread his hands and said:

"I discovered that the 'destination' of this expedition is a place called 'Propulsion City'."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone: "?!"

After saying this, almost everyone paused and then fell silent.

Even Whitebeard and Lindsay couldn't help but raise their eyebrows and murmured: "Surprisingly..."

"..."

Yamato had never been to the sea, and Kozuki Oden's diary did not mention "Impulse Castle", so she didn't know that place and just thought it was an ordinary island name.

Because of this, when Yamato saw the stunned people, he thought they were surprised by his infiltration action.

"Am I awesome?"

Yamato patted his arm and said excitedly: "It's just a sneak attack, I'm a master samurai!"

"..."

Lindsay was speechless and could only press Yamato's hand with her hand, and said helplessly: "The one who can sneak in is called 'bear it'..."

Yamato blinked, "Really?"

Putting aside Yamato's nonsense for now, Lindsay and Whitebeard have more things to care about now.

Lindsay raised his eyes, grinned at Whitebeard and said, "Kaido wants to attack Impel Down?"

"Kula la la la, it's not impossible."

Whitebeard clenched his chin, recalling the past.

On the side, Margao added loudly: "Speaking of which, [Fire Disaster] Jin is pushing into the city right now, right?"

"Ah."

Lindsay nodded.

Only a very few people knew about the fact that he defeated [Fire Disaster], but the news that [Fire Disaster] Jin was taken into custody by the World Government was well known to everyone.

Lindsay speculated: "Is Kaido launching an expedition with such great fanfare to advance into the city and rescue Jhin?"

Margao scratched his head, "It's possible."

……

[Undersea Prison] Impel Down City, located in the windless zone in the first half of the Grand Line, is the world's largest prison.

This prison holds countless pirates or criminals, many of whom are powerful, but no one dares to rob or escape.

What is the reason?

Because it can't be done.

There is an absolute sense of "nothing in or out"!

……

"Going on an expedition to Impel Down City to rescue people?"

Margao's eyes twitched.

"It sounds so outrageous, so outrageous that only Kaido can do it..."

"..."

At this point, everyone fell silent again.

After a lot of intelligence was compiled, more and more things were analyzed by everyone, and they were getting closer to the truth.

Now that the matter was over, Margao began to think about the information recently intercepted by the Whitebeard Pirates.

"There has been some movement on Cake Island recently, and the Big Mom Pirates seem to be preparing for war."

Margao raised his eyebrows and murmured:

"Aunt Mom and Kaido are two guys who were originally part of a pirate group. Are they planning to set off together?"

Hearing this, Whitebeard's expression suddenly became speechless.

"Huh? Them?"

Whitebeard recalled the past, remembering the days when a group of them were waiting for the Rocks Pirates, and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

"It seems so! They...they..."

Compared with "unwilling to mention", Whitebeard is more "too lazy to remember".

He is too lazy to care about so much!

The Whitebeard Pirates' trip has only two purposes. One is to retrieve the ancient artifacts that were plundered by the Beast Pirates, and the other is to teach Kai a lesson.

There is no need to say much about the former, and the latter is not to avenge Kozuki Oden.

That was the path Kozuki Oden chose himself. Others could comment on it, but there was no need to wipe it for him.

What the Whitebeard Pirates really want to do is just to vent their "unhappiness".

"Kaido and Lingling..."

Whitebeard muttered these two names and drank a few sips of wine.

Margao laughed from the side and said: "Dad, after the fight starts, there will be no time to drink!"

"Ku la la la la..."

Whitebeard wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, chuckled a few times, and said nothing.

……

Whether it's Whitebeard or Yamato, what they think about are actually "realistic" issues.

But perhaps because they were not familiar with it, there was a very special "point" that the two of them subconsciously ignored.

That is what the Beast Pirates collected - ancient creations!

And what [Devil] Evan Lindsay is thinking about is about "ancient creations".

"..."

"[Disaster] Quinn used to be a member of Mads and worked with Vegapunk."

"He can also be considered a 'scientist'. He might be able to study the secrets of ancient creations..."

Lindsay pursed her lips, a guess coming to her mind.

"Transport ancient creations to Ghost Island, and then transform Ghost Island?"

"What can be made?"

The answer is already obvious——

It was an ancient ship created by Vegapunk's replica robot A-0 during the time of Punk Hassad. It was also the "dream ship" in Vegapunk's mouth!

"..."

Lindsay paused and said suddenly: "The Ghost Island was transformed into another ancient ship?"
