Chapter 188: Camp War Day 7 (Two-in-one, nutrient solution 66...

Faction War Day 7:

Just like that, Wendy came in a hurry and left in a hurry. In addition to her subordinates, she also took away three former Seven Warlords of the Sea, leaving behind a legend and dozens of her own corpses in Impel Down.

Her teleportation destination was the Kuja Pirates' ship, as it was the closest teleportation focus. She had originally planned to take Luffy on an exploration of Impel Down, but after exploring on her own, she immediately became irritated and had to finish the fight on her own...

Because of this, Luffy was a little dissatisfied: "Wendy! Didn't we agree to go to Impel Down together?"

"Because I ran into a monster directly, I had to kill it first. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what the prerequisites were after I missed it." Wendy scratched her head and had her own reasons.

As for the celestial dragon who turned into a Qilin and served as a test outpost, he turned into a corpse and was smashed and taken away by her.

Wendy was a little disappointed because there were no other drops. Was it because she was cheating and the drops were eaten? Even a dog should get some monster meat, right?

Granny New, however, looked at the people following Wendy, her expression growing increasingly serious. Wendy Carter… claimed to be rescuing her subordinates, but she had rescued all the other Shichibukai, save for Doflamingo, from the country she had occupied… As expected of a woman who had become one of the Five Emperors in such a short time! She truly had other ambitions!

Boa Hancock folded her arms, frowned at the extra people, and pointed at them rudely, saying, "Jinbei! Moriah! Those two are Mother's subordinates. I don't care. Get off my ship!"

Moriah: "Wait, wait a minute! Jinbei is a fishman and can swim in the sea by himself, but I can't!"

Crocodile: “…”

At this time, he was too lazy to refute the fact that he was not Wendy Carter's subordinate... no one would listen anyway.

But why did the Empress call Wendy Carter "Mother"... and also adopt her as her own? Is she over the age limit?

"Why are Kroc and Moriah here too?" Luffy pointed over there and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

After all, these two were people he had defeated before...

"..." Moriah and Crocodile couldn't help but look over, with a gloomy expression - the Straw Hat Boy!

At this moment, the Empress's expression turned cold: "Do you intend to kill the person I'm going to marry?"

Moriah was shocked: "I didn't!"

Crocodile: “……?”

Crocodile frowned, looking at the 1.9-meter-tall, voluptuous Empress, who was undoubtedly the world's most beautiful woman. He then looked at the shriveled, bean-sprout-like Straw Hat Kid, who looked just as clueless as his mother, and a hint of disbelief crossed his face. What was going on?!

Although he had previously thought the Straw Hat Kid and Wendy Carter were somewhat similar...was that even true?! And it looked like Boa Hancock was even more possessed than Hawkeye!

Luffy was still looking over there with a frown on his face: "I didn't say I wanted to get married."

Crocodile remained silent as he looked at the Empress, who was not angry at all and even seemed a little intoxicated.

Forget it, he will never understand the thought process of a love-brained person. Perhaps only Hawkeye can understand the Empress.

Wendy coaxed Luffy into submission by stuffing him with a few meatballs, and then gave him a new parent-child Den Den Mushi.

But after she did that, her phone rang.

This time it was Ace who called.

[Wendy! I finally got through to you... Kaido is here with the Beasts Pirates! He's also allied with Big Mom! The Red Hair Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, who were allied with us, have already set off. Our enemies are the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates!]

Wendy blinked, a bit bewildered. Huh? Has the main storyline over there started to progress without me? Should I just wait for the outcome?

The others looked at Wendy in shock—What?! The Four Emperors' melee began already!? And the Five Emperors were still eating meatballs?!

Ace continued, "Kaido was originally coming for us, but Whitebeard took the initiative to fight back. Shanks hadn't intended to attack, but after learning that the Big Mom Pirates had joined the fray, he joined in as well... Mihawk and the others are divided, so it's time for you, Captain, to give the orders."

When he got to the end, his tone became much more serious.

"What? Shanks is here too?" Luffy came over immediately after hearing the key words, holding Wendy with both hands, and his head close to the Den Den Mushi, "Ace, where are you?"

[Luffy? Why are you at Wendy's place?]

"Wendy originally said she would take me to Impel Down, but she ended up going alone."

"You idiot! Forget about Wendy, but how could you go to Impel Down?"

...After meeting the Straw Hat Kid, even his fire fists became much more reliable. — Crocodile glanced over there, watching Wendy and Luffy chattering a bunch of meaningless things before hanging up the phone.

"Hey, Wendy Carter, you can't not go, right? Not to mention that two of them are your allies. If you don't go this time, your title of Five Emperors will be in name only," Crocodile said. "Even if you go alone, the significance will be different."

"Hmm..." Wendy closed her eyes, thought for a while, then opened them and nodded, "Okay! I'll go back and take everyone with me!"

Crocodile also said at this time: "I will go with you."

He had no intention of missing this once-in-a-century battle between the Four Emperors.

"Kroc..." Wendy stared at him and said suddenly, "You really do want to play with me! You should have said so earlier!"

Crocodile: "..." I'm tired and don't want to talk to this person... After relying on her to go to the battle, I will go solo.

Wendy was still thinking over there: "But are you really okay? Although your bounty is higher than Luffy's, Luffy can defeat you with 300 million."

Luffy, who was still stuffing meatballs into his mouth, looked up and said, "When I defeated Crocodile, it was 30 million."

Wendy immediately changed her tune: "Luffy can defeat you with 30 million."

Empress: "As expected of Luffy~"

Moriah: "Puff!"

Jinbei: "But Sand Crocodile is letting the water go, right?"

Big Bear: “Really?”

Crocodile: "..." I want to slap everyone! That annoying mother and son slapped me repeatedly!

Despite harboring some doubts about Crocodile, Wendy treated him as an acquaintance and was willing to take him along. Jinbei, though concerned about Whitebeard's side, was unaffiliated with either faction, so he decided to repay Wendy's favor by escorting Luffy to Kraikana Island and then to Fishman Island. Moriah naturally tagged along—Perona was waiting for him there.

Luffy actually thought about following, but he was still worried about his companions and remembered the agreement with Shanks - he had not yet become a pirate who could stand on his own.

Luffy touched his straw hat and decided to meet up with his companions first and then go to the New World by himself.

If I rely on my mother's strength, I won't be able to stand on my own.

In the end, Crocodile was the only one who went with Wendy Carter, because Kuma had to go join the Revolutionary Army, where he had people to evacuate.

***

And after Wendy returned to the Eternal Continent Pirates...

"The situation in Wano Country is terrible." Ace, who had just returned from Wano Country, looked solemn. "Ordinary people there don't have enough food to eat and are experiencing famine."

Wendy was shocked when she heard this. "What?! That's really serious! That must be a high-risk area!"

Kizaru frowned: "But why did Kaido take action? He has been entrenched in Wano Country for so long without making any moves..."

"I might be to blame for this..." Ace said, a look of guilt on his face. "I met a little girl at the time and told her that if she joined us, she wouldn't have enough to eat. I showed her our Eternal Continent flag and shared most of the food in my backpack with them... Then, maybe there was a problem with the message, and the people in that village raised the Eternal Continent Pirates flag on their doorsteps."

Kizaru understood - the people were hungry and mistakenly thought that they would have to raise the flag if they accepted the food, and they might not think it was anything special... But if another pirate group's flag appeared on their territory, that would be a big deal.

This isn't one of the Four Emperors like Whitebeard who treats Wendy as his illegitimate daughter.

Aokiji wondered, "Don't those villagers know that's the pirate flag?"

Ace laughed dryly: "Maybe it's because Abigail's pirate flag is different from the other ones..."

After all, other pirate flags all have skull themes, but their pirate group has a ghost with flowers. Everyone thought it was an abstract painting, and that they could get a share of the food by hanging an abstract painting. Since there was such a good thing, everyone did it.

After learning the inside story, everyone present looked at the Abigail flag flying on the bow and fell silent.

"Later, I had a fight with the Beasts Pirates... Anyway, we managed to lower our pirate group's flag. But not long after, someone told me that Kaido was going to lead his troops to attack us, so I quickly reported the news back." Ace's expression was solemn. "It seems Kaido is coming for Wendy."

"Is it because of the artificial devil fruit that Kaido wants?" Aokiji guessed.

After all, after Dressrosa was conquered by Wendy, Kaido's supply of artificial devil fruits stopped. He relied on these to create his own army of beasts, so it's normal for him to resent Wendy for this.

"You're here simply because we're enemies, right?" Crocodile joined the conversation at this moment. He had just picked up his cigar when Abigail hit him, and he dropped it with a distorted expression. "Whether it's an artificial devil fruit or a fire fist, it could have been the trigger. He's allied with Big Mom again, so he must be after profit... Wendy Carter, think about what you have that would be coveted."

Ace looked over in confusion: "Krok, why are you here?"

Crocodile: "I've been standing here since the beginning! Are you blind, Fire Fist?"

Wendy was shocked. "He wants to steal my crops?"

Crocodile was angry: "Who wants that thing!"

Wendy frowned. "What did I say wrong? They're all hungry, so they must be trying to steal my food!"

Crocodile: "It's not like he can't eat enough! What about you guys? Aren't you going to talk about her?!"

Kizaru: "The little princess is right."

Aokiji: "It's almost the same. The result is the same anyway."

Hawkeye: "Sand Crocodile, you're not even a crew member."

Ace: "Krok, what on earth are you doing here?"

Crocodile: "..." He'd only been gone for a short time, and the ship was already completely hopeless... No, forget Hawkeye and Fire Fist, but what happened to these two former admirals? Did they just give up on themselves?

In short, Kaido is coming for her, so Wendy must go, but she faces a new problem - how to get to the battlefield.

Unlike other pirate groups, Wendy Carter's biggest logistical support is Vegapunk and his research base, which is built on Shuizhongmu.

Kizaru also explained: "Someone must stay behind."

The two main focuses of their pirate group are Wendy and Vegapunk.

Crocodile also expressed his opinion: "I don't care about others, I want to go to the battlefield."

Kizaru glanced at him: "What position are you speaking from, Sand Crocodile? A former subordinate?"

Hawkeye agreed: "What are you doing here?"

Aokiji turned to look at Wendy: "Captain, you should speak for yourself."

After thinking for a moment, Wendy gave the order directly: "Mihawk and I will go! Kuzan and Polu will watch the house! Croc just wants to play with us, so he can do whatever he wants."

Crocodile: "..." Although he achieved his goal, he couldn't be happy at all! He really still hated Wendy Carter and the Eternal Continent Pirates!

***

If you want to go to the main battlefield where the Four Emperors are fighting, you can't use the teleportation array directly this time.

"You are an emperor after all. How can you go on someone else's ship to fight? Wendy Carter! Where is your self-esteem?!" Crocodile scolded.

Wendy tugged at Hawkeye's clothes, her expression gradually becoming unhappy.

Hawkeye looked up and said, "Sand Crocodile, Wendy is the captain."

Crocodile was completely furious: "It's because of your indulgence that Wendy Carter acted so recklessly! Besides being your wife, she's also the captain! And one of the Five Emperors! She should act like one! Otherwise, how could she stand out in the battle between the Four Emperors? Just to be a comedic character?!"

Aokiji quietly asked Kizaru: "Has Sand Crocodile been like this before?"

Kizaru said calmly: "He has always had this problem."

Wendy pouted, "Kroc is so annoying. I'll just send him back to Impel Down."

Hawkeye thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there isn't enough time now."

Crocodile: "...Do you think I'm deaf?"

In short, despite Crocodile's scolding, Wendy still drove the New Abigail to join the battle.

Accompanying them were Hawkeye, Crocodile, the shipwright Tom and baby5 who were in charge of logistics, and the dwarf humans who had been guests here for several months for some reason and had their own fields here, and who now volunteered to help.

Kizaru picked up Bonnie, who was eager to go with him, and said goodbye to Hawkeye, who was holding onto Wendy, who also wanted to take Bonnie with her. The Eternal Continent Pirates officially set out. Kizaru and Aokiji stayed behind to guard the Aquatic Wood Land.

Aokiji even reached out and rubbed Bonnie's head: "Bonnie, you are still young. You are not even qualified to be Wendy's mount."

Kizaru also rubbed the child's head and said, "That's right, your little dragon can't fly high..."

He stopped talking halfway, raised his eyes silently, and met the gaze of Aokiji who was also silent across from him.

Aokiji: "...Bonnie, this is a devil fruit that Vegapunk imitated, right?"

Kizaru: “…Yeah.”

Aokiji: "That devil fruit is modeled after Kaido's mythical beast, the Blue Dragon Fruit, right?"

Kizaru: “…”

Aokiji: "Kaido is quite big and can fly quite high."

Kizaru: "But isn't it a bit too high and too big? Wendy won't be able to see her if she sits on it."

Aokiji: "...This isn't the point, is it?!"

***

Regardless of whether it is the point or not, on the other side, the battle between the Four Emperors is already underway.

Kaido and Big Mom teamed up to deal with Red Hair and Whitebeard, but they also separated - Whitebeard and Kaido faced off, while Red Hair intercepted Big Mom.

The reason for this was also Whitebeard's request - Oden, Whitebeard's former friend and a crew member who left the Whitebeard Pirates and joined Roger's Pirates, was killed by Kaido.

When Whitebeard learned of Oden's death, he had planned to seek revenge, but it was one thing for him alone, and with so many men under him, he couldn't just start a war - after all, Oden was no longer a member of the Whitebeard Pirates at the time.

This time, to some extent, his dream has come true.

It’s actually not that bad for Red Hair to deal with Big Mom, because the Red Hair Pirates are a rare pirate group among the Four Emperors with the fewest crew shortcomings and the most balanced development.

Of course, Wendy's Eternal Continent Pirate Group, which is too buggy, is excluded - no pirate group has an average member with higher combat power than the Eternal Continent.

Therefore, when Shanks saw the people coming to support him, he was stunned for a moment and laughed: "You actually came here...Are you underestimating me, Hawkeye?"

Hawkeye looked at him calmly: "It's just my duty as an ally."

After all, we can’t just throw Ace here…I can’t tell whether it’s to help or to have someone look after the child.

"So, Wendy is on the battlefield between Whitebeard and Kaido?" Shanks understood. "I thought you wouldn't act separately from Wendy."

"She's actually very strong." Hawkeye said, pausing, "And me being next to her will distract her."

This was true. Wendy was easily distracted on the battlefield. He was worried that in such a situation, she would suddenly run towards him and start chattering about something that had suddenly occurred to her... He was even worried that he would be distracted or hurt someone by mistake.

Shanks glanced at him and said, "Showing off?"

Hawkeye said, "Tell the truth."

"Wendy's attacks require contact, right? Is she really okay against Kaido?"

Hawkeye was strangely silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he slowly said: "Compared to this... I'm actually more worried that she wants to bring Kaido home."

Shanks: “…” Then why don’t you let her be a bit picky about food?

***

On the other side, Wendy and Crocodile also arrived.

Kaido is fighting Whitebeard.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, Whitebeard is already at a disadvantage and injured.

Although Whitebeard's fighting ability remains the same, his old age and years of illness have made his defense far less powerful than it used to be.

This contrast made Crocodile lose his temper and yell, "Whitebeard! You've become too weak now! I look down on you!"

The members of the Whitebeard Group immediately started to curse at him, and Whitebeard was distracted and glanced at him - where did this guy come from?

Wendy stared at Kaido, her eyes becoming sharp - the mount... was found!

"Wendy, you're here..." Before Whitebeard could finish his words after jumping onto the Abigail, Wendy had already run over to his side, poking him excitedly with her face, raising her hands as if to hug him: "Newgate Newgate! Take me up!"

Whitebeard was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't quite understand, he followed his instructions and asked the person to climb up by stepping on his palm and then put the person on his shoulder.

"Do you want to fight Kaido?" Whitebeard asked.

The Azure Dragon hovering in the air stared at the small blonde woman on Whitebeard's shoulder, narrowing his eyes and looking very disappointed: "Are you Wendy Carter? You look so weak..."

He had originally thought that the newly emerged Five Emperors were some powerful men, but he had no idea...

"Yes, that's me!" Wendy smiled happily, put away her walking stick, took out her blowgun, and grabbed Whitebeard's beard and pulled it, urging, "Newgate Newgate, come closer!"

"Impolite little girl!" Whitebeard frowned and scolded, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he raised his sword and approached as he was told... Then, when Kaido approached, Wendy took out her blowpipe and blew it lightly, attacking the other party.

Although the attack was so weak that Kaido could not feel it at all, the attack made contact, and the one-hit-kill mod took effect. The huge blue dragon seemed to have been drained of blood. It twitched a few times and fell to the deck of the Abigail.

Everyone: "..." Huh? Wait, what just happened?

At this moment, both the enemy and us seemed to have pressed the pause button, and were confused and unable to come back to their senses.

Wendy was horrified when she saw Kaido falling down and then turning back into a human. She ran over and anxiously pushed him hard in the silence, trying to wake him up. Although, despite her strength, he didn't move at all.

"Hey, wake up quickly! Change back quickly!" Wendy shouted anxiously.

Because she was very small and her tone was so anxious, standing next to Kaido, who was more than seven meters tall in human form, it didn't seem like the other party was her opponent to be defeated. Instead, it looked like a daughter crying for her seriously ill and unconscious old father to wake up. It was weird no matter how you looked at it.

"Wendy Carter, aren't you planning to kill Kaido?" Crocodile asked in confusion after coming back to his senses.

He had seen Wendy's one-hit kill in Impel Down, and knew she might have some kind of magical ability. Although it was a little puzzling that she could also work on Kaido...

This scene now made him a little confused... What was going on? Was Kaido also a relative of Wendy Carter? Didn't this family have too many relatives, too strange?

"Don't talk nonsense, Crook. He hasn't turned into flesh and bones yet, so he's definitely not dead." Wendy said in a firm tone, continuing to try to shake him, "Wake up! Turn yourself back into a dragon!"

...Your attitude doesn't sound friendly to me! — Marco, who was flying over there to support, was even more confused. He transformed into a human form and landed nearby, watching: "Wendy, do you want him to wake up? What will happen after he wakes up?"

Marco was still thinking: Could it be that Wendy has the grand ambition to conquer her opponent after defeating him?

"After he wakes up, I'll feed him and then defeat him. If I do this a few times, I can raise his favorability. Then he can become my mount and turn into a dragon to carry me flying!" Wendy was reciting her cow training guide over there, her tone very matter-of-fact.

Marco: “…”

Whitebeard: “…”

Everyone who heard this: "..."

Kaido's subordinates who followed were shocked. After they realized what was happening, they all showed angry expressions - this was too much!

——"Wendy Carter! You actually treated Lord Kaido like a stinky dog!"

Author's Note: I thought the costume change would be better at the end (deep reflection), so I've postponed it! I'll post it later, though; posting it earlier doesn't feel right. It's that same bandit outfit; those who play Don't Starve should have seen it! Wendy's only pants outfit, super cute and cool!

The cow training plot that has been foreshadowed so many times (X) finally appears! [Kiss]
