One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

"Trust me, our main focus should be on Whitebeard. If we can defeat him, we can stabilize the situation. With both of us free, we can quickly turn the tide," Big Mom said confidently.

"Well, in that case, I'll rely on my Tobiroppo and Doflamingo's family to handle the Whitebeard Pirates," Kaido said.

"I don't think I can fight Whitebeard directly. Let me handle the Whitebeard Pirates instead," Doflamingo said, expressing his reluctance to confront Whitebeard directly.

Doflamingo considers himself just at the level of a Shichibukai. Even as support, he could easily be wiped out by Whitebeard, which poses too much risk.

Kaido added, "If you can fight someone like Aokiji, you'll really make a difference."

"Aokiji?" Doflamingo hesitated for a moment before deciding. After all, it's easier to survive against Aokiji than Whitebeard.

"Sure, I will use Birdcage to trap the Whitebeard Pirates. You'd better solve Whitebeard as soon as possible." Doflamingo said.

After a long discussion, they finalized their plan.

Meanwhile, Whitebeard's crew seemed relaxed, resting on their ship, in stark contrast to the tension on Kaido's side.

The next day, Momonosuke and his group finally arrived in Wanokuni and quickly joined Whitebeard.

"Grandpa Whitebeard, have you cleaned up the Kurozumi family?" 

Momonosuke asked in surprise when he saw Whitebeard.

Whitebeard had occupied the Shogun mansion, and Momonosuke heard many people supporting Whitebeard along the way.

"Hahaha, it's not completely settled. We've just captured Kurozumi Orochi. The rest is up to you," Whitebeard said with a smile.

After Whitebeard had Tesla release Kurozumi Orochi, Momonosuke, furious at the sight of him, kicked him several times

Momonosuke's retainers—Kinemon, Raizou, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kanjuro, and others—were also very angry. However, one of them looked surprised.

"Sure enough, it's you!" 

Denjiro suddenly shouted, stepping forward and pointing at Kanjuro.

Everyone was confused, so Whitebeard explained, "That guy is a spy sent by Kurozumi Orochi."

As soon as Whitebeard said this, Momonosuke and the others were shocked.

Kanjuro had been traveling throught time with them for 20 years, so if he was a spy, it was a shocking revelation.

"Whitebeard-sama is correct. I've been undercover with Kurozumi Orochi for years and learned many of his secrets. He even sent a spy, whose identity I couldn't confirm. But just now, Kanjuro's reaction gave him away. Upon seeing Kurozumi Orochi, his expression was different from the others—full of surprise and fear!" 

Denjiro explained to everyone.

"Kanjuro, were you really sent by Orochi?" Kinemon asked in disbelief.

"Of course not! I'm a loyal retainer of the Kozuki family. How could I betray them?" Kanjuro retorted immediately, though sweat had begun to form on his forehead.

"Huh, you're still denying it? Your real identity should be Kurozumi Kanjuro!" Denjiro shouted sharply.

Kanjuro was taken aback, and at that moment, everyone was almost certain that Kanjuro was a traitor. They promptly arrested him.

"I can't believe you followed my father for so long only to turn out to be Orochi's spy," Momonosuke said, shocked.

"Now that I've been found out by you, there's no need to keep pretending. Yes, I am Kurozumi Kanjuro. You can kill me," Kanjuro said through gritted teeth.

"Kill you, it's not the time yet, capture him first." Momonosuke said.

Both Kurozumi Orochi and Kanjuro were captured. Momonosuke planned to publicly execute them and reveal the truth about Wanokuni to the world.

After that, Momonosuke plans to gather the true Nine Red Scabbards first. They will then join Whitebeard to defeat Kaido.

Among them are Denjiro, Kinemon, Raizo, Izo, Kikunojo, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi. They are still missing Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu.

"Grandpa Whitebeard, once I gather all the Nine Red Scabbards, let's fight Kaido together," 

Momonosuke said.

"Alright, let Kaido wait for a while." Whitebeard agreed with a smile.

Afterward, with help of his retainer, Kinemon, Momonosuke made a national announcement exposing Kurozumi Orochi's crimes, announcing the execution of him and Kanjuro, and declaring his intention to reclaim Wanokuni to its rightful ruler

Additionally, Momonosuke sent a message summoning the Nine Red Scabbards, urging them to come forward and join the cause after reading it.

However, after a few days passed, there was still no news from the remaining two of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Momonosuke started to feel anxious, wondering if they might have met with some trouble or worse, they already dead

Later, Whitebeard opened the Udon prison and found Kawamatsu imprisoned there.

At the same time, he liberated thousands of samurai who had been unjustly detained by Kurozumi Orochi. Their freedom was a testament to Whitebeard's compassion.

Impressed by Whitebeard, they joined the fight against Kaido.

Meanwhile, Shutenmaru, also known as Ashura Doji, was quickly located as the leader of bandits in Kuri.

However, much to everyone's surprise, he refused to rejoin the Nine Red Scabbards or participate in the attack against Kaido.

Denjiro was furious and fight him immediately, but Shutenmaru proved stronger, leaving Denjiro unable to do much.

Eventually, it was Whitebeard who intervened and managed to persuade Shutenmaru to join their cause. With this, all nine heroes were finally united.

Whitebeard's campaign against Kaido had begun in earnest. His Pirates now controlled almost all of Wanokuni. Around the same time, Katakuri's team also arrived in Wanokuni, but they were in no rush.

The crews gathered and followed Whitebeard's orders, settling at the nearest point to Onigashima island.

After securing the Flower City, Whitebeard launched his campaign. His team included top fighters from the Whitebeard Pirates like Aokiji, Enel, Marco, Vista, Jozu, Charles Vane, Tesla, Jinbei, Edward Weevil, Sanjuan Wolf, along with the Nine Red Scabbards and thousands of warriors.

They marched towards Onigashima island with great momentum, while Kaido and Big Mom were fully prepared for the inevitable war.
