----------
The New World sea is turbulent!
"Whoosh!"
One after another, pirate ships surged out of the sea!
"Wororororo!"
When the Azure Dragon roared and appeared, stepping on flames and soaring upward, all the pirates looked toward the massive figure in the sky.
A new Pirate King was born!
The captain of the Beast Pirates, "Strongest Creature" Kaido!
Not only did he lead them to Laugh Tale and the great treasure, but he also shared with them the secrets of the Void Century and other mysteries.
With such magnanimity, the title of Pirate King was well-deserved!
No one had any objections, including Buggy, who'd longed to become the Pirate King.
During this journey, Buggy did not commit any drastic acts. The moment Shanks died, his obsession with the great treasure shattered.
Without Shanks, what good would becoming the Pirate King do?
"Wororororo!"
The Azure Dragon roared, his gaze like a torch.
"I come from Vodka Kingdom. I was conscripted as a soldier when I was very young, and at 10 years old, I became the strongest warrior in the kingdom!"
"For nearly ten years, I defeated countless powerful enemies for the kingdom and was a hero who protected Vodka Kingdom and its people!"
"But even so, I was still betrayed by greedy superiors and sold as a political tool to the World Government!"
"After that, I escaped from a Marine warship and became a pirate!"
Kaido paused for a few seconds, the fire of anger in his eyes burning even more fiercely!
"From the moment I was betrayed, I, Kaido, had a dream. I want to drag all those in power who were born nobles, who are indulged in power and pleasure, onto the battlefield for an unprecedented war!"
"This is equality and freedom. Only war can determine a person's value!"
"The Void Century, the war between the World Government and Nika Kingdom, the truth of the great treasure—these are too distant and mean nothing to me!"
"There's only one thing I, Kaido, have wanted to do from beginning to end, and that is to go to Holy Land Mary Geoise and slaughter those Celestial Dragons who rule the world!"
Slaughter the Celestial Dragons!
Or rather, drag the high and mighty Celestial Dragons into a war, where both sides fight to the death as soldiers!
This is Equality!
The Azure Dragon roared.
"If you still have some spirit, then follow me to Holy Land Mary Geoise, slaughter the Celestial Dragons, and seize this world!"
"Woooah!"
The pirates roared, their eyes bloodshot!
In this difficult world for navigation, except for a few perverts who enjoyed burning, killing, and plundering, most pirates were forced to become pirates—either their countries were destroyed, or they became war orphans, or they had to go to sea to survive. Their reasons for becoming pirates were diverse.
But one thing was common: the harsh living environment, especially the omnipresent wars.
After becoming pirates, many of them degenerated into villains, drawing their swords against the weaker, committing all sorts of atrocities like burning, killing, and plundering.
But the hatred for those nobles and royals wouldn't disappear!
Now, the chance for revenge had come!
Follow the new Pirate King, turn this world upside down, and even seize this filthy world!
East of the pirate fleet, the Worst Generation.
"Captain, what do we do?"
"To Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
Law pulled down his hat brim.
He'd waited for this moment for over ten years. Even the Pirate King's throne wasn't as important as avenging Corazon.
Also, Daichi's kindness needed to be repaid!
On the other side, Cross Guild.
"Captain Buggy is gone!"
At a critical moment, the spiritual leader suddenly disappeared.
Crocodile and Mihawk, the two elders, had faces as black as the bottom of a pot. Without Buggy, the fools below would cause a ruckus for a long time.
"Give the order: follow the Beast Pirates to Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
"Huh?!"
Whether willingly or unwillingly, they'd long been tied to Daichi's war chariot. Without Daichi's financial support, Cross Guild would have to declare bankruptcy the next day.
Also, the establishment of Utopia couldn't be separated from Daichi's support.
Totto Land fleet.
"To Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
Katakuri gave the order coldly.
Totto Land was now led by him, and its mode of operation would inevitably change. Compared to the previous pirate behavior, he preferred to cooperate with Daichi.
Lower risk and higher returns.
Most importantly, Totto Land was a large country and no longer suited the pirate way. By seizing this opportunity to climb aboard the Hoenn government, Totto Land would have a future.
A combined army of 100,000 pirates marched majestically toward Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The news spread quickly.
Marineford.
Officer: "Report! News from the front lines: Kaido has become the Pirate King and is leading the Pirate Allied Army toward Holy Land Mary Geoise. The Hoenn Marines are moving in sync and are currently rushing toward Marineford!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face was grim. He knew very well that the upcoming war would determine the fate of the world, and he also knew that the current Marines had almost no combat power and couldn't stop the Hoenn Marines.
"Give the order: gather all forces and proceed to Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what about Marineford?"
A Marine soldier asked softly.
If the officers went to Holy Land Mary Geoise, how would Marineford's defense be handled?
"Don't worry about it!"
Sengoku replied coldly.
The current forces at Marineford couldn't stop the Hoenn Marines. The only way was to go to Holy Land Mary Geoise and defend using the natural defenses.
As long as they held the bubble elevator passages on both sides of Holy Land Mary Geoise, no matter how many troops Hoenn and the pirates had, they couldn't get up.
This was the only way!
As for whether they'd be besieged, leading to a lack of supplies, that wasn't within his consideration. First, resist the first wave of attacks.
"Also, immediately notify all World Government member countries and order them to dispatch troops to Holy Land Mary Geoise for support!"
"Yes!"
A towering building about to collapse cannot be propped up by a single pillar.
The Marine soldiers all had pale faces, marching like puppets, with no confidence in the upcoming war.
Holy Land Mary Geoise, Hall of Power.
"He's coming!"
"Daichi!"
"It's finally come to this moment."
The Five Elders were clouded with worry about the impending war. They'd known this day would come and had been accumulating strength, waiting for the decisive battle.
Now that the terrifying man had gathered all his forces and was heading to Holy Land Mary Geoise, it was a moment of life and death for them, as gods.
"Mother Flame... Is there a result?"
"That is the last resort!"
"What about the Seraphim?"
"They're on standby!"
"How are the God's Knights?"
"All have been recalled and can join the war at any time!"
Mother Flame, Seraphim, God's Knights, etc.—Holy Land Mary Geoise also gathered all its combat power, even fully arming the slaves. The Five Elders took a deep breath, stood up, and came to the castle hall, looking at the figure sitting on the Empty Throne and kneeling down.
"The Five Elders greet Imu-sama!"
Imu calmly looked down at the Five Elders.
The Five Elders lowered their heads.
"Imu-sama, the enemy is about to arrive. Please give your command."
"No need to worry."
Imu spoke calmly.
"As long as I am here, Holy Land Mary Geoise is impregnable!"
