## Chapter 355: The Great Melee in the New World and the Suffering Caused
Hades had a general understanding of the internal situation of the Elite Training Camp from the World Government.
He also noticed that he seemed to have told Kyle and the others too much.
Some intelligence was actually unnecessary; they could discover it themselves.
What concerned him more was the situation in the New World.
After the Pirate Expo hosted by the John Pirates concluded, the long-brewing tension in the New World exploded.
The Flying Pirates developed steadily, not rushing to encroach upon the Western Territory, but instead expanding further towards the Southern Sea Area and Southwestern Sea Area.
Those areas were the territories of the Five Peaks Pirates, the John Pirates, and the Silver Axe Pirates.
War broke out.
The Flying Pirates, Five Peaks Pirates, Silver Axe Pirates, and John Pirates all initiated war against each other, beginning their contention for Territory.
The Captains of each Pirate Crew, these Top-tier Monster, did not personally enter the fray.
They dispatched their ordinary Pirates and Cadres.
Territory is limited, and once Territory expands to a certain degree, it reaches its limit.
Under these circumstances, if they still wanted to further enhance the overall strength of their Pirate Crew, they needed to initiate war, using war as a means to further expand Territory.
At the same time, through war, they could temper their Subordinates into elite forces.
Only through continuous fierce combat could their strength constantly improve, and talented Pirates would stand out.
In essence, this approach had not changed; it had been this way since the era of the Rocks Pirates.
How to quickly cultivate cannon fodder into elite forces?
Only through fierce combat.
The various Great Power tacitly initiated a free-for-all.
All neighboring Factions were their targets.
By controlling the scale of the war to a certain degree, the true Strongmen would not enter the fray so early.
Whether it was a stronger Pirate Crew or a weaker Pirate Crew, if they didn't quickly flee, they could only be swept into the vortex of war.
If they didn't join, they could only face death.
As the war expanded, other Factions that were observing were also continuously drawn in.
The Demon King Pirates became the target of the Five Peaks Pirates in the north.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates also ended their honeymoon period with the Demon King Pirates and initiated war.
Although the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had left the Latter Half of the New World, they still occupied a considerable amount of Territory in the southern part of the Latter Half.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates would not easily give up these Territories, and the Demon King Pirates also hoped to seize them.
Furthermore, as the Tyrant Dragon Pirates occupied Wano Country, possessing abundant resources, they continuously recruited and expanded their forces!
They were expanding outwards from Wano Country as the core.
For the Demon King Pirates, wanting to expand further, heading west was the best method.
The Five Peaks Pirates in the north were truly difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were expanding towards both the east and west.
Regarding the Byrnndi Pirates, "Tyrant Dragon" Zak decided to temporarily avoid their sharpness.
However, he was slightly better off than Nash, as there was also the Five Peaks Pirates targeting them.
The larger the Faction, the greater the scale of the war, one could say.
For example, the Flying Pirates were fighting on three fronts.
The Wang Zhi Pirate Crew was also fighting on three fronts.
The John Pirates and Silver Axe Pirates were the same.
Under these circumstances, even the Byrnndi Pirates were inevitably drawn in.
Some things, even if Byrnndi World didn't want to do them, the people below would push you forward.
For instance, the John Pirates and Silver Axe Pirates actively expanded towards the Southern Sea Area.
If they didn't do something, how would their Subordinates view them?
Continuous conflicts turned most of the New World into a Battlefield.
Flames of war raged, and the scene of peaceful development from the past was completely gone.
A large number of Pirates who were relatively weak or didn't want to resist these Hegemon-level Pirate Group fled the extremely chaotic Middle-Latter Half of the New World.
Some poured into the Pluto Sea Area, which was a neutral and peaceful zone.
Some poured into the Southern New World, where the competitive pressure was relatively lower.
And even more rushed towards the Former Half of the New World.
This was a great wave that simply couldn't be stopped.
The Trade Route that the Marines had painstakingly established in the Former Half of the New World directly faced a severe impact from the Pirates.
After more than a year of development, this Trade Route had significantly more Merchant Ships.
A large number of Merchant Ships from the Former Half of the Grand Line and even the Four Seas came to this Sea Area.
They brought various supplies to sell in the New World and simultaneously purchased unique supplies from the New World to take back to the Four Seas.
In just one month, this Sea Route completely collapsed under the fierce impact of the Pirates.
The number of Pirates was too large, and among them were Strongmen with bounties exceeding 500 million Beli.
These were Monster who had been expelled or fled to the Former Half of the New World under the background of the Top-tier Monster vying for hegemony in the New World.
The large amount of supplies and money on this Trade Route undoubtedly became the target of these Pirates.
Under these circumstances, even with Admiral Sengoku and several Marine Vice Admiral defending it, it was difficult to hold on alone.
In the eyes of many Pirates in the New World, the Marines were characters they could push around.
This was the confidence brought about by the influence of the Rocks Pirates' many years of war.
Large amounts of supplies were plundered.
The Marines struggled to resist but were largely ineffective.
Marine Warships lost contact one after another, and even Navy Branch were destroyed.
In Red Port below Mary Geoise, a huge number of Merchant Ships were stranded at the Port, not daring to depart.
At the Navy Fortress in the Former Half of the New World, a large number of Merchant Ships that were lucky enough not to be targeted in advance had fled to the Navy Fortress, receiving protection from the Marines.
In the New World, only Navy Base of Fortress level had Marine Vice Admiral defending them.
Especially G3 Fortress and G-4 Fortress, the number of stranded Merchant Ships was even larger.
These two newly built Fortress were established on Trade Island specifically set up by the World Government.
This situation led to criticism from many Factions towards the World Government.
The Marines naturally received a lot of scolding, as it was the Marines who were responsible for protecting the order of the Trade Route.
Immediately, the Marines mobilized military strength and Strongmen to the New World.
Vice Admiral Garp, who was currently in pursuit of the Roger Pirates, was also recalled.
Who could have thought that the free-for-all in the New World was going so well, and the Marines were even preparing to watch the show, only for it to end up affecting them directly.
