White beard?
Red hair?
Or is it the newly minted Blackbeard?
No, they have never heard of them fighting. The balance between the Four Emperors has always been maintained. As subordinates who have followed Kaido for quite some time, they know about the events of recent years.
Aside from the time Kaido clashed with Shanks two years ago, there haven't been any other encounters. However, that clash was merely a stalemate, with Kaido only exchanging a few blows, and he wasn't injured.
"Kuro?"
At this moment, beside the room, a man dressed in a black uniform, with enormous, jet-black wings on his back, flames trailing behind him, a knife at his waist, and wearing a mask and goggles, completely protected except for his eyes, murmured:
"That man seems to be the one who escorted Doflamingo and his group back then. Lord Kaido, Jack disappeared without a trace around that time, he should be dead."
"So what if he's dead, King!" Kaido waved his hand. "If he had failed, that would be fine; everyone fails eventually. No one survives on this sea without setbacks. But if he's dead, there's nothing we can do. It just means Jack wasn't strong enough; otherwise, he would be here alive. Now, aren't the Six Fiends itching to become 'Top Admirals'? Let's give them their chance!"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. The ocean is very cruel."
Charlotte Linlin raised her wine cup and took a sip, then looked at Jin and said, "I said, are you really not going to consider my previous suggestion? Your race is very rare, you know. Why don't you come to my Treasure Kingdom? You can take on the position of 'Fourth General' instead of my 'Three Generals'."
Totto Land was originally one of the Four Sweet Commanders, but after Snack was defeated by Urouge from the Worst Generation, Charlotte Linlin felt ashamed and removed him from the list.
The person with jet-black wings, whose entire body was shrouded in darkness, glanced coldly at Charlotte Linlin and said, "I will only be loyal to Lord Kaido."
"Oh, what a pity!" Charlotte Linlin laughed without a care in the world.
'Jin' the Flame!
One of the three infamous calamities of the Beasts Pirates, he once kicked over Charlotte Linlin's ship when she arrived, but Charlotte Linlin simply rode on a black cloud and circled around, leaving King unable to stop her.
Fortunately, they are now allied; otherwise, if they were to fight, it would be a full-scale war.
"Um..."
Kaido pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, when the alliance celebration officially begins, let those 'Flying Six' perform a little, as a bit of entertainment, and then we can choose a new 'Big Six'!"
"Yes, I understand, Lord Kaido." King nodded, then, remembering something, added, "However, Queen once said he wanted to kill one of the 'Flying Six' and give his position to the invaders if they surrendered..."
"Horo horo horo!"
Kaido laughed for a while and said, "Let him do it. He knows how to do it."
Jin nodded and said no more.
Although they're missing that idiot Jack who always called them "Big Brother," the "Big Three" are indeed unusable. The "Flying Six" might not be weaker than the Big Three, and they could still form a new "Three Disasters."
The Three Plagues: Ash of the Fire, Queen of the Plague, and Jake of the Drought—these are their titles. They are also what outsiders refer to them.
They named their children after the words "king," "queen," and "jack" from playing cards, and Jhin was one of them.
Within the Beasts Pirates, their accurate title is the "Three Great Generals," followed by the "True Fighters." Among these "True Fighters," the six strongest members are renamed the "Flying Six," a title derived from a traditional theatrical performance in Wano Country. This is the stable hierarchy within the Beasts Pirates.
Although they are called the 'Beasts' Pirates, Lord Kaido doesn't dislike people who aren't weak. If those people join, as long as they are strong enough, they can all become 'real fighters'.
Skulachman Ap was one of them, and Hawkins, who joined later, was the same; they were all 'real fighters'.
However, most of the members of the "Shinpa" are "Givers," who are granted the position of "Shinpa" because of their strong abilities and leadership skills.
Below the "Flying Six" and "Shin-Tatsu" are the ordinary "Givers," the failed "Laughing Ones," and the "Waiters" who didn't even get an artificial Devil Fruit.
Of course, those were all lackeys.
In addition, there are ancient giants, the surviving members of the demon race—the 'Numbered Ones'.
That was a leader unique to Lord Kaido, and they didn't belong to the same system as them.
Within the Beasts Pirates, aside from individuals like the "Numbered Ones" who, like Kaido, have a less-than-ideal drinking habit, other positions can be earned through strength. Even the position of "Top Rank Holder" can be contested if Kaido agrees.
Now that Jack is nowhere to be found, he is most likely dead. After all, half a year has passed without any news, and there is no other possibility except death.
The Flying Six are extremely eager for the position of "Big Brother," and they will start vying for it as soon as Lord Kaido agrees.
"Well, let's talk about this at the celebration."
Charlotte Linlin laughed for a while, then said to Kaido, "Speaking of which, is your Yamato still locked up by you?"
Kaido's face darkened. "She still refuses to agree to my proposal! Damn it! She's clearly my daughter...son! Why is she siding with that damned Oden? Aren't they both going to be shoguns? What's the difference? She's always yelling about opening the country, even fighting me for it. The Devil Fruit I went through so much trouble to get wasn't eaten according to my wishes; she just picked it up and ate it because she was hungry!"
"Oh? That legendary fruit? Rumor has it that you went to great lengths to obtain it. But Wano Country really has a lot of Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, huh? Speaking of which, you've been quite accommodating to your Yamato. I've heard that she claims to be a man and idolizes Oden, and you've given in to her?!"
Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily.
Kaido stopped talking, picked up the wine cup, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Jhin remained silent, but his slightly helpless expression betrayed the truth.
That's beyond just 'compliance'.
Yamato not only claims to be male, but the entire Beasts Pirates also refers to her as "Young Master Yamato" instead of "Miss Yamato".
Although Lord Kaido admires violence and is unconventional, he has no choice but to address Yamato as such.
The word "father"... seems to have a lot of magic.
