One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Although everyone is against it, Kaido sees this as an opportunity. He believes that seizing it is their best chance to rise again.

Kaido feels that Whitebeard controls his power and limits his freedom. He is unhappy and frustrated because, while imprisoned, he can't take any action.

Therefore, Kaido believes that only by cooperating with Marine can the current situation be changed, and to cooperate with Marine, these people need to be fully convinced.

The Three Plague and Tobbi Roppo are loyal to Kaido, so he isn't worried about them. The key challenge is convincing Big Mom.

"Linlin, do you think Whitebeard will treat us any better? Even if we fail, the worst-case scenario is death. That's better than being locked up here."

"But Marine is strong, and they've mobilized most of their main forces to deal with Whitebeard. If we join forces with them, we have a great chance to completely wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Even if Marine turns against us later, it's still better than facing Whitebeard. We've dealt with someone as powerful as Whitebeard before, so what's there to fear from Marine? I think it's worth the risk."

Kaido's words made Big Mom hesitate. Although she feared Whitebeard, the hatred in her heart was still there. 

Once there was a chance to step on Whitebeard, she was still shaken.

"But we're trapped here. Do you have a way to contact Marine?" Big Mom asked cautiously, wanting to know if Kaido's idea was a real plan or just a whim.

Kaido replied, "Of course I can contact them. How else would I know about Marine's situation? In fact, Marine had already reached out to me before the war started. I've been referring to the conflict between us and Whitebeard."

"What, what did they say back then?" Big Mom asked immediately.

"At that time, they wanted us to cooperate with them, but I didn't agree because I didn't trust Marine. However, now I think it might be worth trying." Kaido Said.

People often want to take risks, even if the cost is high. This is the mindset of the strong; they are used to life at the top. If they fall, they will desperately climb back up.

Now Kaido feels the same way. He can't accept defeat. Despite the fear Whitebeard recently instilled in him, Kaido's desire to rise again has been reawakened.

"If you can contact them, do it first. We need to know the current situation of Marine and Whitebeard before we make a decision." Big Mom said after some consideration.

"Alright, I'll contact them," Kaido replied, dug out a Den-den mushi hidden in a wound on his body.

"Bruru bruru bruru... Bruru bruru bruru..."

Soon, a flat voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "Hello, is this Mr. Kaido?"

"I remember your name is Lucci. Does the plan you mentioned last time still stand?" Kaido asked.

Hearing the name Lucci, Big Mom was stunned. She immediately remembered Lucci, the former leader of the CP9 spy organization within the World Government.

"Isn't this the guy from the World Government Cipher Pol? Could it just be the same name?" Big Mom wondered but chose not to interrupt Kaido's call.

"Mr. Kaido, have you decided? Cooperate with the Marines to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates. Once it's done, you'll regain your freedom and be a Yonko again," 

The other side replied.

"If I agree, will you come to release me? Whitebeard has imprisoned me," Kaido said.

"Of course. Whitebeard can't guard you forever. Once you become our ally, we'll release you and join forces to deal with him."

At this moment, Big Mom whispered to Kaido, "Ask about his identity and how he can guarantee what he promises."

So Kaido asked, "Can I know your identity? How can you prove that your guarantees are valid?"

"Mr. Kaido, I'm sincere in this cooperation. Don't you trust me? I'm Luci, from an organization directly under the World Government's Celestial Dragons." 

Luci introduced himself in a flat tone

"You're from the World Government, but can you represent Marine? Are you sure you're not deceiving me?" Kaido asked.

"How can that be, Mr. Kaido? While I don't represent Marine directly, being with the Celestial Dragons means Marine won't reject cooperation. If you agree, we'll handle everything for you," Luci said.

"I still want to know how the battle is going," Kaido asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kaido. Marine is currently in the lead. They defeated the Whitebeard Pirates soon after the fight began," Luci replied.

Hearing this, Kaido glanced at Big Mom and the others. After a brief hesitation, they all agreed to work with Marine to defeat Whitebeard and regain their freedom.

"Okay, I promise that Linlin, my crew, and I will join the operation. I hope you release us soon," Kaido said firmly.

"Understood, Mr. Kaido. You haven't forgotten our previous request, have you? That is our only condition," Luci replied.

Kaido's expression was momentarily strange, but he soon calmed down and said, "Of course, I agree to this."

"Well then, here's to a successful cooperation," Luci replied.

The call ended on a positive note. 

Afterward, Kaido and his crew felt a renewed sense of ambition. 

Although Kaido had initially struggled to persuade his allies to join Marine against Whitebeard, the complexity of the situation was now less clear to them, as the details remained unknown.

What the outcome will be remains to be seen.

Kaido is certain that once they commit to this decision, they will face Whitebeard in a fierce and brutal battle, against a formidable enemy. Even if it ends badly, they will have given it their all.

As a result, he will also lose something.
