# Chapter 273: Duel Between the World's Strongest Man and Woman?
"Kaido actually brought BIG MOM!"
"What is he trying to do?"
Marines of all ranks on the two Flying Warships raised their Vigilance to the highest level. Dozens of Officers wearing Coat of Justice drew their swords and clenched their fists, using Moonwalk to form a Defense Line in the air.
Although the Ninjas of the Mimawarigumi didn't recognize BIG MOM, seeing the Marines' intense reaction, they also realized the newcomers were not friendly.
This caused the Ninjas, who had already recognized Mihawk as the General of Wano Country, to quickly move under the leadership of Fukurokuju and others, guarding him and Gion in the center.
Unfortunately, they couldn't use aerial movement techniques like Moonwalk and could only stand on the Deck, staring intently at the approaching Azure Dragon and Thundercloud.
"Mihawk, is Kaido going to betray us?"
Gion's pretty face showed a worried expression. With their current Combat Power, dealing with just Kaido was difficult, let alone adding another Yonko.
"Unlikely. He has no reason to do that."
Mihawk replied expressionlessly.
In the past, there might have been a possibility: Kaido could have planned to team up with BIG MOM to occupy Wano Country and then capture him, a Celestial Dragon, as a Hostage.
By doing so, leveraging the extremely harsh Climate Environment around Wano Country, the Marines would be unable to dispatch a large-scale Fleet for a punitive expedition.
But now, this approach wouldn't work.
The World Government had already mastered the Ability to mass-produce Flying Warships. Kaido should be well aware that Wano Country's Natural Barrier was no longer a big problem.
Furthermore, doing so would completely cut off his possibility of Conquest in Otherworlds.
So Mihawk was actually quite calm, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so he didn't order the Marines and Ninjas to lower their guard.
After all, the opponents were Pirates!
"Mamamama~~"
"It seems Mama's arrival has scared that little Celestial Dragon brat~"
Charlotte Linlin, standing on 'Zeus', looked at the tense Marine Officers and laughed heartily, not caring at all.
"That's normal, Linlin. Wait a moment, I'll go talk to that kid!"
Without waiting for a reply, the Azure Dragon directly returned to human form and leaped towards the Warship where Mihawk was.
"This..."
The Marine Officers hesitated seeing Kaido approach so casually. They didn't know if they should intercept him.
"Let him come!"
Fortunately, Mihawk gave the Order at this moment.
Thus, Kaido successfully landed on the Deck, but his Body Size and Weight caused the entire Warship to shake, startling the Ninjas as well.
The Overbearing Aura of a Powerhouse was truly terrifying.
"Kid, BIG MOM wants to talk to you, or rather, talk to the World Government behind you!"
Kaido didn't approach further, paying close attention to the 'Safe Distance' between them. However, what he said piqued Mihawk's interest, who asked, "Talk about what?"
"I already told her about that Matter. It's not suitable to discuss it here," Kaido teased playfully.
Mihawk thought for a moment. Given the Power Difference between the two sides, BIG MOM had no need to resort to Close-quarters Assassination. He then agreed.
"Let her come over. We'll talk in the Cabin." With that, Mihawk turned and walked towards the cabin door, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Gion, who was still standing there. "You come too."
He felt it was time for Gion to know about the Star Gate and Otherworlds, especially since the Supreme Political Conference had already concluded.
"Uh, okay!"
A moment later, the four gathered in a Meeting Room inside the Warship's Cabin. The space here was quite large, spacious enough even with Kaido and BIG MOM, these two Colossus, standing inside.
However, outside the door stood dozens of Marine Officers and Mimawarigumi Ninjas.
"Your name is Mihawk, right? I've heard about the Star Gate from Kaido, and I'm very interested~~"
Charlotte Linlin didn't bother finding a Seat. She just stood opposite them, grinning happily and chuckling softly.
The current her was truly not as obese as she would be twenty years later. Although she couldn't compare to her slender and Sexiness figure from over a decade ago, she only looked like her neck was a bit thick and her facial outline slightly wider. Overall, she was still a ripe Beauty.
"So you also want to join the Three Forces like Kaido?"
"No, no, no, Mama doesn't want to be a Soldier. I want to join the World Government as the King of an Affiliated Country!"
Charlotte Linlin looked at Mihawk and Gion with full confidence. This indeed brought surprised Expression to their faces.
"Anything else?"
Mihawk was speechless for a moment before asking again.
"Of course!"
"My Totto Land Kingdom must have a Qualification Seat to attend the Reverie, my Bounty must be canceled, and I must be able to freely enter and exit that Star Gate!"
Charlotte Linlin became more excited as she spoke, but she didn't think these demands were excessive. With her powerful Strength and numerous Elite children under her command, the World Government would definitely gain a lot by her Affiliation.
"Although I don't have the Authority to make the Decision, before I contact Headquarters for you, I need to confirm a few things. For example, after your Affiliation, will you abide by the World Government Law, obey the World Government's Order, and remove your Pirate Crew's Flag?"
Mihawk asked three questions expressionlessly.
"About that..."
Charlotte Linlin hesitated, but in the end, the Temptation of Otherworld Dessert and Delicious Food overcame everything. She nodded, "As long as the Order isn't too excessive, I will naturally accept it, and the Pirate Crew can be disbanded!"
"In that case, I will convey your intentions later. But before that, you must do something for the World Government first."
Mihawk looked meaningfully at the World's Strongest Woman before him.
"Mama~ Speak!"
Charlotte Linlin put her hands on her hips and readily agreed, taking everything upon herself. After all, there were few things in this World she couldn't do.
"We received News that before long, the man known as the 'World's Strongest Man', 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, will lead his entire crew here. I need you to stop him!"
In Mihawk's view, 'Whitebeard' being the 'World's Strongest Man' required quotation marks, while BIG MOM being the World's Strongest Woman was genuine and unquestionable.
"What?!"
Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, this rather comical 'sister and brother' pair, shouted almost in unison.
"Why is that Monster coming here? What did you do to provoke him?"
Kaido's Gaze became serious.
"It's like this..." Mihawk briefly explained the whole Matter from beginning to end. After listening, Charlotte Linlin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mamamama~~"
"So you just need me to block 'Whitebeard' for a few days? That's definitely not a problem!"
Unlike Kaido, she was already a veteran Highest Combat Power. Coupled with her equally Monster-level super Talent, even 'Whitebeard' wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short amount of Time.
Didn't that Celestial Dragon brat say it? At most three days, that Bastard Garp would arrive. What was there to consider then?
Mihawk was not surprised that BIG MOM agreed. "Alright then. Do you need me to arrange a Residence for you?"
"No need, I'll just stay with Kaido!"
Charlotte Linlin waved her hand casually. After finishing the serious Matter, she immediately turned to leave, asking Kaido as she walked, "There should be Delicious Food here in Wano Country too, right? Hurry and take me to see."
"Hmm, you'd have to ask Queen about that, but I have Good Wine at my place. Want a few drinks?"
"Get lost!"
Mihawk and Gion watched speechlessly as the two 'Giant man and woman' walked side by side, chatting and laughing.
For some reason, this Screen Feed always gave them a Sense of Incongruity. It was the Feeling that these famous Great Pirates, who had dominated the Great Sea, shouldn't be like this.
"What is the Star Gate?"
Gion suddenly turned her face and asked curiously.
