The victor in the Battle of Gos Heights was undoubtedly Whitebeard Pirates!

No one saw the battle, nor did they know how intense it was.

However, the result was that Whitebeard completely defeated Kaido!!

Kaido the Beasts, along with the deserted Gos Heights, sank completely into the sea. The Beasts Pirates suffered heavy casualties, while the Whitebeard Pirates suffered the fewest losses.

Whitebeard Pirates didn't become undeserving of its reputation despite the Pyrrhic victory in the Paramount War; on the contrary, it became even more powerful.

There are even rumors that Whitebeard's strength has returned to its peak.

As Doflamingo said, "The winner is justice," and only the victors will be noticed by the world; the losers will never stand in the spotlight.

Whitebeard is the victor, and this victory undoubtedly declares to the world:

Whitebeard is the victor, and this victory undoubtedly declares to the world:

[This era is still called Whitebeard!!]

Dressrosa, the King's Plateau.

"Fufu~ What a terrifying Monster! No wonder he's the World's Strongest Man!"

In an incredibly luxurious room, Doflamingo held a newspaper in his hand, looking at the news that had been praising Whitebeard Pirates for seven days, and smiled wickedly.

Morgans, the "Big News Morgans" guy, is a master at creating buzz.

Because of his status and his way of dealing with people, everyone gives him some face.

In this newspaper, he wouldn't belittle Kaido or the Beasts Pirates, but would only focus on the rumors about Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard's return to his peak strength, praising him in various ways every day.

The World Military Draft and the Emperors' War have made this veteran player incredibly wealthy.

The World Government's contracting, and the global buzz surrounding the rankings, etc...

"The worst has happened. Not only did you not wet your pants in fear, you can still laugh. You've got a strong heart." Arthur, sitting opposite Doflamingo with a glass of red wine in his hand, crossed his legs elegantly and said softly with a faint smile.

"I'm terrified inside, but I'm just not showing it to you." Doflamingo's smile faded slightly as he stared intently at Arthur and said, "Let's join forces, King of Knights!"

"You know, Whitebeard has taken down Kaido, and his next target is you and me."

"We must unite to survive in the face of such Monster."

"I refuse!" Faced with Doflamingo's renewed invitation, Arthur refused without hesitation, revealing a cold smile as he said, "I will not associate with anyone!"

"No matter how strong a person is, there will be a moment of defeat! There is no eternal strongest, only a moment of dazzling power!" Doflamingo stood up, placed his hands on the table in front of him, stared at Arthur, and said in a deep voice, "King of Knights, I understand you, and I know what you are thinking! Therefore, I know even better what your fate will be!"

"Patrick Red the Aloof Redfield, ' is the best example; no one can be the strongest alone!"

"Similarly, only the strongest group can claim the title of strongest, Whitebeard is the best example." Doflamingo extended his hand, inviting again, "Join me, King of Knights!!"

'Snap--Sizzle!'

Arthur slapped away the hand in front of him, a flash of lightning crossing his emerald green eyes as he looked indifferently at Doflamingo and said, "You'd better take care of yourself first, 'Heavenly Yaksha' Donquixote Doflamingo."

"He can't be called the strongest simply because he's not strong enough." Setting down his high-heeled cup and standing up, Arthur exchanged a glance with Doflamingo, stating as if stating a fact. "Why isn't 'Red the Aloof' Patrick Redfield the World's Strongest Man? It's because he can only stand shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard. If he could crush Whitebeard, then the World's Strongest Man wouldn't be Edward Newgate."

"You bastard, could it be that you're thinking of..." Doflamingo stared wide-eyed at Arthur as if he were a madman.

"Ah... I want to create the world's most advanced war system!!"

Chapter 199 Creating the World's Most Advanced Warfare (Third Update)

"Ah..."

Arthur picked up the newspaper from the table and, in front of Doflamingo, slowly tore it in half, a tear running from top to bottom, ripping the front-page image of Whitebeard in two. He whispered, "I will create the world's most powerful war!"

"You... madman!!" Doflamingo gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

He understood the meaning of Arthur's words, which is why he gave such an evaluation.

After being defeated by Arthur, Doflamingo agreed to provide him with his intelligence network. Doflamingo then used his power to secretly investigate Arthur's rise to power.

They even analyzed Arthur's personality.

His unknown birthplace and equally mysterious real name led Doflamingo to even suspect that he was a member of the 'D' clan.

Possessing what appears to be a inherited King's Sword, and the King's Qualification that only one in millions possesses, Doflamingo never believed that such a person could be as unambitious as he seemed on the surface.

Especially with the 'Devil Child' who caused a sensation in the sea at the age of eight, and 'Sea Warrior 420' Boa Hancock, who is at the same level as him, beside him, it was clear that Doflamingo's guess was correct.

Many people didn't notice, but Doflamingo did.

In the 'King of Knights', he saw the shadow of 'Red the Aloof' Patrick Redfield.

This is an extremely arrogant person, and Doflamingo, who also possesses the qualities of a king, understands this personality very well.

That's why he was so insane by the 'King of Knights's' words.

This guy actually wants to go to war with Whitebeard Pirates alone?

"I need your help with this." Arthur didn't react to Doflamingo's words, but instead sat back down on the sofa, picked up the glass of red wine he had just been drinking, took a sip, and said calmly.

"What do you need me to do?" Doflamingo asked in a deep voice, his face ashen. He sat on the sofa with his legs spread wide and his hands clasped over his stomach.

"I need your help..." Arthur brought the high-heeled glass to his lips, the transparent glass magnifying his lips, his slightly moving lips seeming to wriggle.

"..."

Doflamingo, who was staring intently at him, narrowed his eyes behind his Sun, his face revealing undisguised horror. "You're insane! You're cutting off your own escape route!"

"I'm leaving this to you. Don't let me down," Arthur said, his expression extremely serious, almost commanding.

By now, Doflamingo had lost all patience to maintain his charismatic and sinister image, and was completely taken aback by the boyish figure before him.

"Gurgle..."

After hearing Arthur's words, even Doflamingo couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice trembling as he said, "Do you know that if you lose, all your hard work and perfect persona will be ruined?!"

"Heh..." Arthur seemed amused by Doflamingo, letting out a cold laugh. Instead of answering, he asked, "Do you think that if I killed Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of Whitebeard Pirates, and lost, Whitebeard would spare my life, or even take me in as his son?!"

"I see, a desperate gamble?" Doflamingo Satori, nodding as if he understood.

Whitebeard Pirates was bound to come knocking sooner or later, and the arrogant "King of Knights" was unwilling to leave the New World, so he went to war against Whitebeard Pirates alone.

Arthur's words were clearly misunderstood by him.

Arthur's words were clearly misunderstood by him.

Arthur offered no explanation, only a confident glint flashing in his slightly narrowed emerald eyes. (cdcj)

Is it really a desperate gamble?

Time flies, as fast as flowing water.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The world situation is like the rolling waves of the ocean, full of ups and downs.

While his life was still in training, which was driving the world's plot, a storm that deviated from its original course was caused by an alien butterfly flapping its wings two years prior.

Ace didn't die, and neither did Whitebeard.

Although Straw Hat Pirates F still recognized their shortcomings, they chose to undergo a two-year training program.

However, history has changed dramatically from the original history.

A new era has arrived, but the name of this era remains 'Whitebeard'.

The Dressrosa incident happened ahead of schedule, but the main characters were Ace and Marco. Doflamingo did not lose his status as Shichibukai, but instead retreated to his own kingdom.

But compared to the imprisonment in the original story, it's already considered very good.

The Fleet Admiral is former Marine Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki, while former Marine Admiral "Aokiji" retired from the Navy and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The two vacant Admiral positions were filled by two civilian experts recruited through World Military Draft, codenamed 'Fujitora' and 'Ryokugyu'.

Meanwhile, the Shichibukai, one of the three major forces that maintain the balance of the sea alongside the Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors, have three vacant positions due to Jinbe's withdrawal, Moria's defeat by the Straw Hat Pirates and his escape from Doflamingo during the Paramount War, and Blackbeard's removal from his position.

Two of those three positions were subsequently filled by the Supernovas 'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law and Buggy, who was given the title 'Thousand-Plan Clown'.

As for Edward Welb, the 'Whitebeard II' from the original work, he did not appear.

Perhaps he's a fake; if he were to appear in this era known as 'Whitebeard,' he'd probably be coming after very quickly.

Or for some other reason...

In the past six months, Kaido the Beasts has been alive, but he has remained silent, as if he had been beaten into submission after his battle with Whitebeard.

Whitebeard, on the other hand, became increasingly certain of his position as the strongest.

However, for some reason...

It has been discovered that Whitebeard Pirates is frequently seen loitering around Dressrosa.

In addition, many people are curious.

Why hasn't Whitebeard Pirates) caused trouble for the 'King of Knights' who is still active in the New World?

Chapter 200 Hancock Joins the Fray

'Whoosh--Boom!'

Looking down from above on the azure sea.

A three-masted sailboat, entirely silver-white, can be seen drifting on the surging sea.

At that moment, a dazzling golden light flashed, but it disappeared before it even appeared, like an illusion.

In the next instant, a horizon appeared from the "East Starion", connecting to the massive fleet a dozen nautical miles ahead.

A bottomless ravine slowly opened up.

The vast ocean on both sides forms a straight, smooth waterfall, so much so that one can almost see fish swimming inside.

Within this chasm, the massive fleets situated in this sea area were all swept away by the ocean currents.

It is unknown how much time passed before the sea, which had been cut in two, slowly began to heal.

Those fleets, however, were completely annihilated.

"So... so scary..."

On the lawn-like deck, looking at the sea that had returned to calm, the apocalyptic scene from just moments ago seemed to be right before their eyes. Nami, Robin, and even the powerful Hancock all wore expressions of horror.

Staring at Arthur, who remained in a sword-wielding stance, Nami's voice trembled as she stammered, "Was... was that really a slash? Arthur!?"

To be honest, having followed Arthur for so long, Nami and Robin have seen even more outrageous scenes than what they just witnessed, aside from Hancock who came from behind.

The Paramount War: The World's Strongest Man possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and to overturn the ocean.

Kaido's freestyle swimming alone caused a tsunami.

And Arthur's Thunder Spear that blasts everything, and the golden light that destroys all things.

Logically speaking, having witnessed so much of the world's top power, Nami and Robin's horizons should have been greatly broadened.

However, it was precisely because of their broadened perspective that they were so shocked by the attack they had just witnessed.

It is known that the stronger the swordsman, the more powerful his strikes will be.

But those strikes were a shock to the naked eye.

That attack just now seemed to defy the laws of the world, a strike that transcended dimensions.

"Heh... finally stable." Ignoring the shock of the three women behind him, Arthur, still gripping Excalibur and maintaining his slashing stance, wore a satisfied smile on his handsome and composed face.

--"Swordsmanship A++(EX)".

In six months, it will be time for the ship to set sail again, which will also mark the beginning of a new storyline.

It has been a year since Arthur ascended to the throne of the strongest swordsman.

Over the past year, Arthur spent half a year focusing on Doflamingo, and the remaining half a year preparing for the plan.

He settled down and, with Nami and the other two girls, wandered aimlessly through the New World, living the same kind of voyage as before.
