One Piece : Kaido Brother

"Hidden unknown power?"

Katakuri frowned, as if recalling something, and whispered to Caesar.

"Father, have you heard of the Dyna Stone?"

Caesar raised an eyebrow, looking at Katakuri with surprise.

"Where did you learn about Dyna Stone? That could indeed be considered an unknown power. It's a peculiar type of rock, buried deep underground in certain locations. Once exposed to air, it triggers a violent reaction, causing massive explosions.

A small piece of Dyna Stone has power comparable to those super cannons. If a large quantity is gathered, even an island or a country could be obliterated in an instant."

Katakuri released his Observation Haki, enveloping the entire hall.

Then he whispered, "I knew it from Zephyr. It seems he wanted to use this Dyna Stone to... take revenge on you—or rather, all the pirates of the New World. After I exposed his plan, he committed suicide."

"Zephyr is dead?" Caesar was taken aback, immediately thinking of Aokiji.

If Aokiji found out about Zephyr's death, it would undoubtedly lead to disastrous consequences.

If only there were a safe way to extract the Memory-Memory Fruit from Pudding and take control of it himself...

Caesar inexplicably thought of Blackbeard, that man who could freely steal others' abilities.

Caesar looked at Katakuri with a hint of approval.

"Using Observation Haki to interfere with others' perception is a good method. Don't worry, Dyna Stone alone won't achieve what he intended. Hmph, that old fool Zephyr probably wanted to detonate some three great dormant volcanoes to destroy the new world or something. I can only say he was too naive—the new world isn't so easily destroyed."

Katakuri let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zephyr die so resolutely had indeed startled him.

"Are there any other unknown powers, Father? Like the three Ancient Weapons?"

Caesar nodded. "That's one of them, but the Ancient Weapons have always been shrouded in mystery. To this day, I've never seen what a real Ancient Weapon looks like. What I want to talk about is this power..."

As he spoke, Caesar pointed to a fissure on his chest.

The fissure had a dull, dark hue and refused to heal, even after being washed by Caesar's seemingly boundless Lifeblood.

"This was left by that old bastard Sengoku when he detonated his body before death, releasing a strange energy. Over the past few days, I've read many books and have gained a vague understanding of this energy."

"This energy is of a higher level, surpassing even the abilities and Haki we use. It must have been formed through an extreme coincidence, a fusion of multiple energies. Or perhaps, it's something beyond the awakening of a Devil Fruit Ability, somewhat similar to the chaotic currents inside me after transforming into Kunpeng. And in my memories, there was once a certain detestable fellow who could wield this kind of power."

At this point, Caesar shook his head and dropped the subject.

"Katakuri, do you know why I'm making such a grand spectacle of this Tea Party?"

Katakuri straightened up and thought for a moment.

"Does Father intend to unite the pirate forces?"

Caesar nodded, his expression full of approval.

"That's right, I want to convene a meeting attended only by pirates—a Pirate Council."

"Gathering all those pirates with potential, strength, background, and influence."

This world is fundamentally composed of four groups.

The World Government.

The Revolutionary Army.

Pirates.

Civilians.

The World Government includes the Marines and the Celestial Dragons, serving as the world's rulers and exploiters.

The Revolutionary Army are the rebels, seeking to overthrow the World Government and take its place.

Whether they would become another World Government afterward, no one knows.

Pirates were not created by Roger.

They are a group that exists between the Revolutionary Army and civilians—they resist the World Government's exploitation but have no intention of becoming the ruling class or standing up for civilians.

Pirates live in their own world, a faction of chaos that neither submits to the World Government nor cooperates with the Revolutionary Army.

Sometimes they attack the Marines, plundering the Celestial Tribute from the Celestial Dragons.

Other times they assault the Revolutionary Army, raiding their strongholds.

More often than not, they harm ordinary civilians, acting with reckless abandon.

This unaligned group is an extremely dangerous force.

Caesar sometimes even has a premonition.

Perhaps at a critical moment, the Marines might collaborate with the Revolutionary Army to wipe out the pirates of the New World in one fell swoop.

By eliminating pirates—the chaotic middle factor—the two great powers of the sea, the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, could then engage in their final decisive battle!

This is why he conceived an idea.

To gather the pirates of the sea for a meeting, to establish something like a Pirate Council.

In this council, the captains of various pirate crews, big and small, would serve as council members.

Among them, the exceptionally powerful ones would be the chairmen.

Beneath the chairmen, several vice-chairmen could be appointed.

After hearing Caesar's idea, Katakuri's eyes gleamed, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

He said excitedly, "Father, your idea is truly brilliant! If this so-called Pirate Council can really be established, then the strongest force on these seas will likely be our Beast God Pirates."

Caesar, however, shook his head.

"No, not the Beast God Pirates. For now, we can't control all the pirates. I merely want to gather this force so that, at a critical moment, we can support each other and resist attacks from the World Government or the Revolutionary Army. Under the temporary unity of this force, our Beast God Pirates can seize the opportunity to accumulate strength, recruit talent, and quietly build our power."

If, as Katakuri suggested, the Beast God Pirates truly gained complete control over all pirate forces...

That would be the time for the final battle!

Neither the World Government nor the Revolutionary Army would allow another force to emerge in this world that could rival or even surpass them.

At that point, both sides might very well unite to attack the Beast God Pirates.

"You're right. We can indeed accumulate strength under the banner of the Pirate Council. This way, the World Government will be wary of us but won't dare push us too hard. Otherwise, if they force all the pirates to unite, the consequences would be unbearable for them."Katakuri grew increasingly excited as he spoke, feeling immense admiration for Caesar's idea.

The Pirate Council!

A coalition that would unite the scattered pirates into an offensive and defensive alliance.

In ordinary times, there might still be annexations and battles among them.

But in critical moments, they would stand united against external threats, resisting the Marines together.

"If this idea of yours had been realized earlier, the war two years ago wouldn't have happened. The Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't have been isolated and forced to face Marineford alone," Katakuri mused with emotion.

If the Four Emperors had worked together, what would they have to fear from the Marines?
