"Qiaomu? From now on, you'll follow me!"
Zephyr liked him very much. The concept of treating shameless pirates with benevolence was completely inapplicable. The name of "not killing" was simply a joke.
The only law in this cruel world is to stop killing with killing.
"Are you kidding me? I've never even heard of the name Z."
Qiaomu didn't want to follow an unknown nobody; he wanted to become stronger and kill all the evil people in the world.
He wanted to become the man most feared by villains in the world, so that if his sister were still alive, she might one day see him.
"Kid, this guy is a former Admiral of the Marineford. The current Three Admirals are all his students."
"Besides, I don't want you."
This person is indeed a promising talent, and if Zephyr wants him, Cifer has no objection.
Besides, he was just a teenager driven mad by the cruel world, Cifer wouldn't hold him accountable for his offense.
His style of doing things is quite to my liking, it's just that his strength is a little lower now.
"Hey~ this old geezer?!"
Qiaomu had heard of the Admiral's reputation; he was known as the World Government's highest fighting force.
"Hahaha~ I haven't been Admiral for many years."
Although Zephyr didn't want to bring up the past, he didn't deny it either.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter who I follow. I just want to get stronger quickly and kill more bad guys."
Qiaomu felt relieved. Although it was a pity that she couldn't board that man's big ship, it wasn't bad to be by the side of another strong person. At least she could avoid some detours.
At the port, Qiaomu followed Zephyr onto his large ship, along with T-Bone and his men.
Being able to follow such a legendary, cornerstone-like man, T-Bone felt that the future was promising.
They will all become future members of the New Marines, receiving Z's training and becoming stronger.
Cifer and the others boarded the Little Ul again and began their New World.
"This world has always been like this. If you want to change it, you have to honestly become stronger."
"So powerful that no one can stop you from doing whatever you want."
The atmosphere on the ship was somewhat heavy. Most of them came from poor countries and had witnessed several such tragic countries in succession, so it was inevitable that they would feel some empathy.
It's impossible to say that Cifer had absolutely no feelings, but he was simply more indifferent when it came to emotions.
"That bastard is right."
Enel surprisingly agreed with Cifer's opinion directly.
"I think we should also find a place to improve ourselves?"
The Tyrant recalled Luffy, who should be growing rapidly with Rayleigh's help. He once believed that Luffy would be the legendary Nika.
When he heard that Luffy had defeated Celestial Dragons, he even thought that the latter might become the savior of this world in the future.
But after witnessing the true horror of the Cifer, Xiong's thoughts changed slightly; he realized that one's heart alone could not save the world.
Luffy is far from being on the same level as Cifer. Now Kuma is more convinced that Cifer and Dragon are the two men who will liberate the world.
As the people on the Little Ul, who were Cifer's most direct companions, most of them were clearly not strong enough to become excellent officers.
"Bear is right. Next, let's find a place to be our base in the New World."
Cifer already had an idea, and had obtained the corresponding Eternal Pose from Zephyr.
Where are you planning to go?
As the helmsman, Lucci was the first to raise a question.
You'll know when you get there.
For once, Cifer kept Lucci in suspense, but Lucci didn't press him for details. He simply followed the pointer and steered forward.
"Good!"
Nolan and the others were not dissatisfied with the upcoming training; on the contrary, they were very excited.
After all, only by having the strength can one truly stand by Captain Cifer's side, instead of always standing behind them as the one being protected.
Although they knew it was impossible, they still wanted to try and become stronger in order to protect the captain.
And so, after a week at sea, the Little Ul was finally nearing its destination.
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
The News Coo that suddenly appeared in the sky attracted everyone's attention. Nolan gently raised his finger, and 100 Belly flew into its pocket.
Following this was a new newspaper.
"A man who stole the Heavenly Gold, openly announced that he had brought several countries under his control, and committed countless evil deeds!"
Once again extending its evil clutches towards the World Government, and even recruiting some of the Navy's personnel into its ranks, the newly crowned Emperor of the Sea, 'Black Winged Great Demon' Ulquiorra Cifer, has arrived!
Beneath the prominent title is a huge, indifferent photo of Cifer.
"Captain Cifer, they've called you the fifth 'Emperor' of the sea!"
Nolan was somewhat excited. He hadn't expected that in less than a year at sea, his captain would break the pattern of the Four Emperors and become the Fifth Emperor of the New World!
"There have always been only Four Emperors at sea, and no one would acknowledge a Fifth Emperor."
Lucci, however, poured cold water on her enthusiasm, knowing full well the true meaning behind the news.
"Lucci is right."
"The four Sea Emperors have been standing in a tripartite balance for several years. Suddenly adding another one, especially one with only a few people, will be difficult to convince the public."
Robin had specifically looked into those four veteran Four Emperors). Besides being powerful, they all basically had large territories and numerous subordinates.
The current Cifer doesn't seem to meet these conditions yet. While eye-catching news headlines can certainly attract attention, the purpose of this report is clearly deeper.
They wanted to incite discontent among the current Sea Emperor.
Among the small-time pirates, no one dares to provoke this newly crowned emperor of the sea, but the Four Emperors are a different story.
Those who can become Sea Emperor are all exceptionally powerful and unruly individuals.
If they knew that a powerful man who had never caused any major trouble in the New World was suddenly on equal footing with them, how many of them could stand it?
"What a vicious conspiracy!"
Chopper listened to Robin's analysis, his chin practically drooping onto the deck.
"Yay~ Hahaha~ It's just a minor problem."
Enel didn't care about any of that. In his view, all the conspiracies and tricks were just petty tricks that the weak tried to use to close the gap with the strong.
All he needs is to be strong!
"If those Four Emperors come looking for death, I wouldn't mind stepping on their heads to become the true Sea Emperor."
Cifer had no time to concern himself with the World Government's petty schemes. He would not be used as a weapon by them, but if someone wanted to die, he would be happy to send them on their way.
