"Besides that, I have another important matter to discuss, one that concerns you as well." Ian finally broached the subject, piquing the interest of Marco and the other Whitebeard commanders.

"What important matter could that be? I'm curious what someone standing at the pinnacle of this sea needs help with, especially something that involves me." Whitebeard inquired.

"It concerns Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin. They're likely conspiring against me right now, and I happen to think they shouldn't exist any longer." Ian stated calmly.

"Kaido of the Beasts?! And Big Mom?!" Marco and the others were stunned.

"That's right. You should know where Kaido's base of operations is. And he likely played a role in the death of someone important to you." Ian smiled faintly.

"Of course we know. That bastard Kaido has occupied Wano Country and made it his base! That country belonged to a dear friend of ours!"

The Whitebeard Pirates exclaimed, their voices filled with barely contained rage.

They hadn't forgotten the injustice inflicted upon Kozuki Oden twenty years ago, especially Izo, the former retainer of the Kozuki Family and the 16th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Pops, this is our chance! We can take back Wano from Kaido!" Izo's eyes burned with fervent passion. As a native of Wano, he had dreamt of liberating his homeland and avenging his lord for two decades.

In the past, even the Whitebeard Pirates would have suffered heavy losses in a full-scale war against the Beasts Pirates. But now, things were different.

They had a powerful ally, Ian, who rivaled even Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man. Even if Big Mom joined forces with Kaido, her crew was in disarray, making this the perfect opportunity to strike.

"Pops, Izo's right. We've waited long enough. It's time to settle the score with Kaido and avenge Oden!" Diamond Jozu and Flower Sword Vista added, their blood boiling with anticipation.

However, the final decision rested with Whitebeard. All eyes turned towards the legendary pirate, awaiting his judgment.

"Gurarararara! Alright, my sons! Prepare for war!" Whitebeard bellowed, raising his fist in the air.

The Whitebeard Pirates erupted in cheers, their spirits soaring at the prospect of joining forces with Ian to attack the Beasts Pirates in Wano.

The older members of the crew, like Izo, Marco, Jozu, and Vista, who shared a deep bond with Oden, had waited patiently for this moment.

Now, their chance for revenge had finally arrived.

"Kaido! You will pay for what you did to our lord, for the suffering you inflicted upon Wano!"

Izo roared, his eyes filled with tears of rage.

"Oden, we will avenge you! Watch over us from above!"

"I don't know why you've chosen to involve me, but my gut tells me you mean no harm. Maybe this is my chance to finally do what's right. To hell with the balance of power between the Marines and the pirates! I'm with Whitebeard now, and nothing else matters!"

Whitebeard's booming laughter echoed through the air. This unwavering loyalty to his family, his willingness to sacrifice everything for them, was what had drawn Ian to him. Unlike the other world, where family often betrayed you for their own gain, here, family was everything.
