Akira Stone had just finished speaking when many people from the entire Whitebeard Pirates shouted angrily.
They weren't targeting Akira Stone. Instead, they wanted to uphold Whitebeard's dignity.
Akira Stone shook his head, and said, How many people do you think would have this kind of guts? A lot, a lot. What pirates lack the least these days are stupid and daring pirates.
Dad's strength is naturally needless to say. No one can be his opponent. However, we can't let those pirates challenge Dad at will, right?
So I think that we still have to become stronger. Moreover, if we form a large force, we can also protect the ordinary people in the territories under our command.
Hearing Akira Stone's words, many people's eyes lit up. Even Whitebeard started to ponder, considering whether Akira Stone's plan was feasible.
In reality, what Akira Stone was talking about was the later Four Emperors. However, this kind of situation hadn't appeared yet.
The position of the Four Emperors was also the four strongest pirates who had appeared after years of chaos. Now that Roger had just died, it was still too early to talk about this kind of thing.
However, what Akira Stone said wasn't wrong either. Although Whitebeard was now the only remaining three legendary pirates, he was still far from reaching the point of being feared.
There were people who dared to challenge the Four Emperors at their peak in the future. Not to mention the Whitebeard Pirates, whose strength hadn't developed yet.
If they defeated Whitebeard, they would be able to become the strongest pirate in the New World. It was believed that countless people would flock to challenge Whitebeard at that time.
Namur, the future Eighth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, a shark Fishman, said, Dad, what Akira Stone said makes sense.
The New World is so chaotic now. A new order will definitely appear. As the strongest pirate, you should rightfully become the strongest pirate force in the New World.
Only if we all become stronger will we be able to be more free.
As a Fishman, Namur understood what freedom meant better than others. He also understood that if he wanted to protect his important loved ones and things, he had to have strong power.
Not only was it the Fishman Namur, but the others were also starting to persuade Whitebeard. As pirates, they naturally had ambition.
Although the atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates was very good, if they could have many subordinates, and have many territories, it was believed that many people would be willing to do it. This was also the reason why everyone was persuading Whitebeard.
Whitebeard said in a deep voice, "It's still too early to say these things now. Don't underestimate the sea.
There are too many young pirates on the sea. Their strength can't be underestimated. So, taking action at this time isn't the best opportunity."
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Akira Stone's eyes immediately lit up, and asked, "Dad, you mean, don't stick our necks out?"
Whitebeard nodded, and said, "Akira Stone, I know that you also have good intentions. However, I have a sense of proportion about this matter."
Akira Stone smiled, and didn't say anything more. He knew that he was still far from being able to compare to an old fox like Whitebeard, who had lived for so many years.
He had been lacking in consideration about this matter. The Whitebeard Pirates were already the only remaining great pirate group in the New World.
If they continued to stir up the wind and clouds at this time, and expand their forces, it would inevitably attract the hostility of other pirates and the Navy.
At that time, even if the Whitebeard Pirates' power was stronger, it would definitely be difficult to resist.
Grand Line, Marineford, Navy Headquarters!
Navy Fleet Admiral Kong was looking at Akainu and Aokiji in front of him with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice, "The two of you took action together. You actually didn't catch that brat?"
Akainu's expression was ashen. He didn't say a word. Aokiji, on the other hand, said, Fleet Admiral, that kid is indeed very slippery.
Moreover, his luck is also very good. Every time when we were about to catch him, someone would save him.
Kong said coldly, "There's no need to say more. Not catching him is not catching him. This matter is a dereliction of duty by the two of you.
Now that you've let that kid return to the Whitebeard Pirates, it's estimated that there won't be any chance to catch him anymore."
Aokiji and Akainu were completely unable to refute what Kong had said. This matter was originally their mistake.
Saying any more words would only be sophistry. They could only let Kong vent.
However, Kong only said a few sentences before stopping. Instead, he asked Sengoku, who was sitting on the side, "How is the layout of the New World?"
Sengoku said with a face full of worry, Although it's only been a few days since Roger died, the situation in the New World has undergone a huge change.
The pirate groups that had always been suppressed by the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates in the past have slowly started to move.
The pirate groups in the New World have also become much more rampant. Many countries have been attacked by pirates.
It's estimated that it won't be long before the New World completely falls into chaos.
"These damned pirates." Kong roared angrily. Then, he said, Continue to send troops to the New World to suppress them.
There are too many World Government affiliated countries in the New World.
If we let the pirates be so rampant, it will bring great damage to the World Government and our Navy. We must curb them.
Sengoku, on the other hand, said with a face full of worry, Fleet Admiral, our Navy Headquarters is in the Grand Line.
Recently, not only are the pirates in the New World turbulent, but even the Grand Line has shown signs of instability.
If we put all our troops in the New World at this time, it's estimated that it will be difficult to deal with the Grand Line.
"Then continue to recruit soldiers." Kong said loudly.
Sengoku said, Fleet Admiral, the Navy's military expenditure is already very tight. If we continue to recruit soldiers, it will be detrimental to the Navy.
Unless the higher-ups can allocate a large amount of military funds, it's still not advisable to continue to recruit soldiers.
The World Government was the behemoth of this world. The Navy was only one of its armies. Although its power was very large, military expenses couldn't be used at will.
Instead, they had to be monitored by the World Government. So even if Kong was the Navy Fleet Admiral, he couldn't recruit soldiers at will.
After all, the training of each soldier required money. Not to mention recruiting more Navy soldiers all at once.
Kong roared angrily, "We are the Navy. If we can't suppress those pirates, then what's the point of our existence?"
At this time, Akainu, who hadn't been speaking all along, suddenly said, "Fleet Admiral, let me go to the New World!"
Kong suddenly looked at Akainu, and asked, "You want to go to the New World?"
Akainu said firmly, The New World is where the pirates are the most rampant. For the Navy's absolute justice, we can't let them act recklessly.
I think that as long as we carry out a few large-scale suppressions, even those pirates will definitely restrain themselves a bit.
Sengoku agreed, What Sakazuki said makes sense. Actually, although our Navy has an insufficient number of people, this isn't the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is that there's an insufficient amount of high-end power. Most of the Navy's combat power is in the Grand Line.
So if we put the Navy's high-end combat power in the New World, it might have an unexpected effect.
Kong closed his eyes, and started to think. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice, Alright, Sakazuki, I'll let you go to the New World.
Not only you, Kuzan, Borsalino, and the other Navy Vice Admirals. Transfer a portion of them to enter the New World together. It's also time to let those pirate scum see the power of our Navy.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. It had been two years since 'Pirate King' Roger had been executed. In these two years, the entire world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change was mainly reflected in the pirate forces. Compared to two years ago, the number of pirates had at least doubled. Especially the New World. It had now become a paradise for pirates.
The rise of pirates would naturally be accompanied by the Navy's suppression. In these two years, the New World had become the main battlefield for the pirates and the Navy.
The two sides had fought many wars. Among them, there had been no less than three wars with a large scale, involving thousands of people.
What's more, even an island had been sunk once. It could be imagined how fierce and crazy the war had been fought.
During this period, countless pirates had become famous in one battle with the war, becoming well-known pirates in the New World.
There were also many pirate groups that were originally very powerful, bared their fangs, and frantically annexed other pirate groups.
Similarly, there were also many officers who had become famous because of the war with the pirates in the New World during these two years.
Among the pirates in the New World these two years, the one who had developed the fastest was none other than Kaido, who was known as 'Beasts', and his Beasts Pirates.
Speaking of Beasts Kaido, he had already been a pirate with a bit of fame two years ago.
However, at that time, the New World had Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki, these three legendary pirates suppressing it. So he didn't have a chance to stand out at all.
With Roger's death, Golden Lion being captured, and Whitebeard hiding, 'Beasts' Kaido broke his limitations in one fell swoop, frantically annexing other pirate groups, making the Beasts Pirates the pirate group with the strongest force in the New World.
His name had completely surpassed the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been hiding and not moving.
However, it was precisely because of the crazy actions of the Beasts Pirates that they had attracted the Navy's encirclement and suppression.
The Beasts Pirates had fought with the Navy Headquarters dozens of times because of this. Large-scale wars had also occurred a few times. 'Beasts' Kaido had even crazily attacked the Navy Headquarters.
Although he had been captured by the Navy in the end, because the Navy couldn't kill him, they could only be forced to let him escape.
Because of the constant battles with the Navy, the Beasts Pirates' strength was constantly weakening. From being the strongest at the beginning, they had gradually stabilized.
But without a doubt, the Beasts Pirates were still one of the most powerful pirate groups in the New World.
Apart from the Beasts Pirates, there was another pirate force that had also taken the opportunity to rise. That was the Charlotte Family.
The Charlotte Family had been a famous large family in the New World from the beginning. Its patriarch, Charlotte Linlin, was a crazy person. Because her nickname was 'Mama', her pirate group was called the 'BIG MOM' Pirates.
The BIG MOM Pirates were another powerful pirate force besides the Beasts Pirates. They had transformed from a family at the beginning into the pirate group they were now.
Their strength had grown crazily. They had annexed hundreds of islands in the New World in one fell swoop, showing a momentum of standing up to the Beasts Pirates.
Moreover, Charlotte Linlin didn't act as crazily as Kaido. So although they had fought with the Navy many times, their strength hadn't been consumed much.
On the contrary, they were becoming stronger and stronger.
The Beasts Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates were the two most powerful pirate groups that had risen in the New World. Apart from them, there were also many powerful pirate forces.
For example, the pirate group led by 'Sand Crocodile' Crocodile. Although he was young, his strength couldn't be underestimated.
There was also Gekko Moriah, Bartholomew Kuma, and other newly rising rookies. Each of them had strong potential.
Moreover, apart from the pirate groups in the New World, many powerful pirate groups had also appeared in other places.
For example, the Grand Line, the four seas to the east, south, west, and north. Apart from the East Blue, powerful pirate groups had appeared to varying degrees in the other three seas. The most famous one was the Donquixote Family.
Of course, apart from those who were famous for their pirate groups and forces, there were also some special people.
They didn't rely on the power of pirate groups. Instead, they relied on their own personal power to make a huge name for themselves in the Grand Line and the New World.
The most representative figure among them was the newly promoted great swordsman 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk.
Hawkeye Mihawk was definitely a person who had shocked the world. One person, one sword, he constantly challenged swordsmen from all walks of life.
He hadn't lost a single battle in the two years since his debut. Because of his record, many pirate groups wanted to recruit him. However, he traveled alone.
Those pirate groups that wanted to recruit him were either destroyed by him single-handedly, or had escaped in a sorry state.
Therefore, Hawkeye's name was even more well-known, letting everyone know that this was an absolutely unprovokable guy.
Apart from the pirate forces, many heroic figures had also appeared in the Navy. The most representative one was naturally 'Navy Hero' Garp.
The last time, because he had captured 'Pirate King' Roger, it had made Garp's name spread throughout the world.
In these two years, in order to suppress the crazy pirates, Garp was also constantly taking action. Many pirate groups had been destroyed in his hands.
Even the two most powerful pirate groups, the Beasts Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates, had suffered losses at his hands.
The most famous one among them had to be the battle between Garp and Charlotte Linlin. It was definitely something that had shocked everyone.
Although that battle didn't have a result in the end, the process was very terrifying. Under Garp's iron fist, Charlotte Linlin had almost been defeated.
Fortunately, she had relied on her Devil Fruit ability in the end, and had forcefully withstood Garp's power. It could also be considered to have preserved her face.
Apart from Garp, the ones who had shined the most brightly in the Navy were the other three people.
They were Akainu Sakazuki, Kizaru Borsalino, and Aokiji Kuzan. As the symbolic figures of the new generation of the Navy,
