One Piece : Kaido Brother

In the afternoon, the large square of Okobore Town was bustling with activity.

The remnants of the Beast Pirates had gathered there, along with thousands of samurai and ninjas from Wano Country—survivors of the former Orochi Oniwabanshu.

They had all been summoned by Queen to witness the birth of a new era.

A new leader—Caesar, the elder brother of Yonko Kaido, the husband of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, a being of immense power—would become the captain of the two former Emperors.

A colossal new force was born!

The Beast God Pirates!

At the massive rectangular table, two rows of people sat upright.

At the head of the table, Caesar occupied the center seat, with Kaido to his right and Linlin to his left.

Beside Kaido sat King, Queen, Ulti, Page One and Black Maria.

Beside Linlin were Perospero, Daifuku, Smoothie and her other children.

"Yamato, my niece—why isn't she here?" Caesar asked Kaido.

Kaido remained silent, unwilling to engage with him.

"BORORORO! What a terrible father-daughter relationship. Linlin, tell me, would our children ever be unfilial?"

Caesar affectionately wrapped an arm around Linlin slender waist.

Perospero lips twitched uncontrollably.

He exchanged glances with Daifuku and Smoothie, only to find the same disbelief and resignation in their eyes.

Linlin gave Caesar a charming smile. "Of course not. Our children would never be unfilial, right, Perospero, Daifuku? Aren't you going to greet your father?"

"HUUUUUHHH?" Perospero and Daifuku were stunned.

But not daring to anger Big Mom, they fidgeted in their seats, mouths opening and closing, yet unable to utter the word "father."

A flicker of anger crossed Linlin's beautiful face and the atmosphere at the table instantly froze.

No one dared to breathe.

"Perospero, Daifuku… do you not believe me?"

Perospero and Daifuku paled, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.

"W-we wouldn't dare, Mama."

Perospero hesitantly looked up at Caesar.

Caesar patted Linlin back, signaling her to calm down.

Then, he addressed Perospero, Daifuku and everyone at the table.

"Let me reintroduce myself."

"I'm 65 years old, a little older than Kaido. I set sail as a pirate at ten and later joined a certain crew. That's where I met Linlin. A few years later, I brought Kaido into that crew as well."

(if we didnt count the time when he was slumbering, he should be in his 30's rn)

Everyone at the table listened intently, shocked.

Kaido, Big Mom and Caesar had once been part of the same crew?

Yet none of them had ever heard of this.

Caesar continued with a smile, nodding at Perospero and Daifuku.

"Two years before that crew was destroyed—forty years ago—Linlin gave birth to my son. That must be you, Perospero. Borororo!"

Perospero's jaw dropped in astonishment.

He was starting to believe it.

"Later, the crew we were part of was destroyed by Roger and Garp. The captain died and we escaped in the chaos. At that time, Linlin and I were separated. What I didn't know was that she was still pregnant—with triplets. I only found out a few days ago."

Caesar grinned at Daifuku. "Daifuku, you're 38 this year, right? [Note: I've reduced their ages by 10 years, Katakuri was originally 48, so none of them know god valley incident]"

Daifuku face stiffened, looking somewhat at a loss.

Caesar threw his head back and laughed uproariously.

"To be honest, i am a complete bastard—BORORORO! I haven't done what a father or husband should, nor even what an older brother ought to!"

Spreading his arms, he draped them over Kaido and Linlin shoulders, grinning widely.

"Borororo! But it's not too late to start making up for it now! From this day forward, I, Caesar, will treat my family as treasures—and the officers of the Beast God Pirates are my family too!"

Caesar turned his gaze to King and the others, their faces breaking into smiles.

"Woooh! Long live Caesar-sama!"

Queen even cheered outright, utterly convinced by Caesar's words.

Ever since Caesar had saved him twice, Queen had completely abandoned his former superior Kaido and thrown himself into Caesar embrace.

"And you all—whether you're my and Linlin biological children or just Linlin's kids—from now on, you all will be the children of Barbarossa Caesar!"

"On these seas, anyone who dares lay a finger on my family—be it the Marines, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, or other forces—I'll make them regret ever being born!"

As Caesar spoke, an overwhelming Conqueror's Haki burst forth, illuminating the sky above Okobore Town!

Caesar rose to his feet, his towering nine-meter frame casting a mountain-like pressure over everyone present.

"I declare the Beast God Pirates—officially formed!"

"All who join the Beast God Pirates shall be part of my Barbarossa family!"

"Those who rise to officer rank shall earn the Barbarossa surname, becoming my kin!"

"Those who can single-handedly defeat a Marine Admiral shall earn the title of 'God,' standing as my equals!"

"Together, I will lead you all to the pinnacle of supremacy—to seize the world in our grasp!"

Perospero, Daifuku and the rest of Big Mom's children exchanged glances.

Far from showing discontent, they felt an undercurrent of relief and satisfaction.

During Big Mom's rule over Totto Land, she had been impulsive—launching wars on whims to satisfy her cravings.

As her children, they had lived in fear of her might and authority, yet also dreaded losing her as their protector.

Moreover, Big Mom suffered from hunger pang.

When these episodes struck, she became unrecognizable—if not immediately satiated with delicacies, she would transform into a force of destruction, annihilating everything in her path.

These negative traits had made life unbearable for her children.

Now, at last, someone had emerged who could restrain Big Mom and take over Totto Land's forces—a stronger protector.

From his impassioned speech, everyone could tell: here was a leader brimming with charisma.

He was enigmatic—appearing out of nowhere to resurrect the dying Kaido and Big Mom.

He was formidable—defeating the combined forces of Straw Hat Alliance with ease, ensuring the upstart who'd toppled Kaido never warmed his seat as an Emperor.

A single drop of his blood could heal the mortally wounded.

Such a leader—to be able to follow him is the dream of every pirate here!

Black Maria's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yay! Little Pay Pay! We just need to defeat one Admiral and we'll be standing above Queen and King, sitting at the same level as Kaido, Caesar and Big Mom! Doesn't that sound easy?" Ulti wrapped her arm around Page One's neck, laughing gleefully.

Page One rolled his eyes, completely ignoring her words.

"Caesar-sama! I want to become Barbarossa-Queen!"

Queen cheered loudly, while King watched with a smile as the table buzzed with joy and harmony.

'That's right. This is the life I want—and I'm sure it's the life Kaido-san wants too. This feeling… it's wonderful.'

Caesar raised his glass and everyone quickly stood up to join him.

"Cheers!"

Just as Caesar was about to down his drink—

BOOM!

A deafening explosion shook the entire town.

The table in front of Caesar toppled over and the group stumbled, their hands trembling as wine spilled everywhere.
