"What a shame, we shouldn't have let those pirates go when we first came to this island!"
"That's right, those pirates made millions of berries from just a small robbery!"
"They can't have gone far, why don't we go after them now?"
"We might as well go after the other Yonko, we could make money quickly!"
Marco immediately expressed his disagreement.
"Now is not the right time to confront the other Yonko.
First, although Pops has recovered from his injuries, he hasn't fully returned to his peak yet. We currently lack sufficient strength to face those equally powerful or possibly even stronger enemies.
Secondly, if too much about Ron's or Pops' abilities becomes known to the outside world, it will bring enormous risks to our entire crew.
Once this information leaks out, it will not only attract high attention from the Marines, but may also invite greeds and attacks from other forces.
Therefore, before we have absolute certainty, it's wise to maintain a low profile and accumulate our strength."
The division commanders also understood and temporarily gave up the idea of attacking the other Yonko, but at the same time, they were heartbroken and very puzzled about why they had been so kind-hearted before, letting those little money making mobs go.
Especially now that Pops wanted to give them his ability, it made them feel even more pained!
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, is a devil fruit capable of destroying the world after all!
Rumor has it, in Pops' prime age, he had the ability to shatter the entire sea!
Now, they could also gain this ability, how could they not be excited!
"Make money!"
"We must make money!"
"Let's go!"
A massive money-making operation began with the Whitebeard Pirates, everyone was full of enthusiasm, with only one goal in their mind - to make money!
*****
Five days later,
The Grand Line and a certain place in the New World witnessed an unprecedented small-scale commotion!
During this period, the Whitebeard Pirates launched multiple major operations.
They not only swiftly and precisely took down several large-scale pirate crews but also successfully seized tens of billions of berries in funds.
Whitebeard, the pirate hailed as the 'World's Strongest Man', whose every move affects the nerves of the entire pirate world, suddenly launched an unprecedented major operation.
This news exploded like a bombshell across the entire sea, causing shock and speculation among countless people.
However, no one knew the true reason hidden behind this major operation.
Was it Whitebeard's struggle before his impending death?
Did he want to intimidate the surrounding forces before he died?
Or was there a more complex intention behind it?
For a time, various speculations and rumors arose.
Some said the Whitebeard Pirates were looking for legendary treasure, others said they wanted to challenge the authority of Marines, and some even guessed that this was Whitebeard's last stand to protect his family.
Regardless of the truth, this major operation initiated by Whitebeard has undoubtedly shaken the entire world.
People were paying close attention to the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates, trying to find some clues to solve this mystery.
However, just as everyone's attention was focused on the Whitebeard Pirates, they quietly disappeared into the sea, as if they had never appeared.
This made the already confusing situation even more confusing.

Wano Country, Onigashima.
Kaido sat majestically on his grand throne, his posture as straight as a mountain.
He tightly gripped a huge gourd in his hand, gulping down alcohol non-stop as if it didnt affect him at all.
As the booze poured into his mouth, his eyes flashed with wild and unrestrained light, each sip of alcohol seemed to ignite a renewed spirit in his heart.
Meanwhile, his subordinate stood respectfully beside him, carefully reporting the latest intelligence.
"What is that old man Whitebeard up to? He's already got one foot in the grave, why is he still causing trouble!"
Kaido's tone was full of disdain and contempt, as he mock Whitebeard moves.
"Is he trying to drag a few others down with him before he die? Hmph!"
He sneered, his voice revealing deep disdain for Whitebeard and absolute confidence in his own strength.
"Ignore it, keep the booze coming!"
*****
Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.
Big Mom sat comfortably on her throne, her eyes filled with desire as she looked at the large cake in front of her.
This was her favorite sweet, the one thing she loved to the point of madness!
"Mama, the Whitebeard Pirates are causing trouble again recently."
The speaker was Perospero, Big Mom's eldest son, whose words carried some weight among his siblings.
"Huh? That old man again?"
Big Mom grabbed the large cake in front of her and shoved it into her mouth without hesitation.
Her huge mouth opened like a bottomless pit and the cake quickly disappeared in her mouth.
After chewing for just a few moments, she swallowed it and then a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
"Tell me about their recent situation." Big Mom said in an impatience tone.
Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, making rhythmic sounds, as if urging Perospero to quickly answer her.
The people around immediately felt an invisible pressure and the air was filled with tension.
They exchanged glances with each other, then all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into quickly's eyes.
Perospero also carefully opened his mouth and began to report the recent situation of WB pirates, while also slowing down his speech since he was afraid he might say something wrong.
"The Whitebeard Pirates attacked the territories they had previously lost and stole all the treasures of those pirates. From the looks of it, they seem to be in desperate need of money!"
"Moreover, whether in the New World or the Grand Line, all pirate crews that had previously attacked their territories were cleaned out, with all their money and valuables plundered!"
"They didn't even spare the pirates' clothes, and took their underwear. Anything of value was taken away!"
As he spoke, Perospero also felt shocked.
Since when did the Whitebeard Pirates become so obsessed with money?!
"Mamamama~~" Big Mom laughed loudly, shaking the entire palace.
"What an interesting move from the old man. No need to worry about him, just keep an eye on Fishman Island."
"Yes, Mama."
Perospero acknowledged her, firmly remembering in his heart that Fishman Island was important to Mama.
Although they didn't know what madness had come over the Whitebeard Pirates, if they dared to come after them, they would definitely make them know the power of the BIG MOM Pirates!
