Aftermath of the War

"Captain, according to the final battle statistics, almost all of the Red Hair Pirates' fighting force has been wiped out. Only three people escaped: Captain Red-Haired Shanks, Vice Captain Ben Beckman, and Senior Executive Lucky Roux. Their whereabouts are now a mystery. Even with all our resources, we haven't been able to find them. Perhaps they've already escaped to the first half of the Grand Line or even the Four Seas." Robin said with some regret. They were just one step away from completely destroying the Red Hair Pirates and removing them from the ranks of the Four Emperors.

"They really did manage to escape with two key figures," Roy said, somewhat regretfully.

The captain is always the core and soul of a pirate crew.

After the Summit War, the Whitebeard Pirates were almost completely devastated, and were further decimated in their later battle against the Blackbeard Pirates.

Even after Impel Down and becoming a lone Golden Lion's newly formed Flying Pirate Crew still manages to attract pirates from all sides to join him.

Similarly, as long as Red Hair lives, the Red Hair Pirates will never disappear, not to mention the Vice Captain Ben Beckman, who is the second core of the Red Hair Pirates. Compared to the two of them, Lucky Roux is not much of a threat and is nothing but trash in Roy's eyes.

"Forget it, if Red Hair is determined to hide, those weaklings will never find him. However, Red Hair isn't one to be content with solitude. Even if I don't go looking for him, he'll come knocking on my door for revenge." Roy leaned lazily against the throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, and continued, "What about the Beasts Pirates?"

"The Beasts Pirates have suffered more than half their losses. I won't go into the details of those unimportant figures, but the main thing is that Kaido and Wind Ulysses managed to escape, Drought Jack was captured alive, and the fate of Ice Nicholas, the leader of the Three Calamities, is unknown." Robin felt her heart surge with excitement as she read each name, her large, smooth breasts heaving. This was the crew of one of the Four Emperors of the New World, like Great Sea Emperors! One of them was beaten half to death, and the other was nearly wiped out. Five years ago, she couldn't have imagined this scene. After all, back then, Sand was already considered an invincible powerhouse in her eyes.

Roy wasn't surprised by the result. While the Big Mom Pirate Crew were willing to help, they were only there to lend a hand and didn't dare to push the Beasts Pirates too far. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the Beasts Pirates, who were a bunch of fearless madmen. Achieving such a result was beyond Roy's expectations.

"If I remember correctly, Kaido caused several disturbances at Marine Headquarters to rescue his subordinates, right?" Roy suddenly asked.

Robin nodded and quickly gave her answer, "In order to rescue his subordinates, Kaido, relying on his immortal body, once single-handedly attacked the Marine Headquarters, once the Whitebeard Pirates, and twice the Red Hair Pirates."

"In that case, give Drought Jack a proper welcome in my Royal Palace. I'm really looking forward to Kaido coming to my territory and causing a ruckus!" Roy's eyes gleamed. He was quite looking forward to seeing Kaido, who was a headache for other forces.

Robin's beautiful eyes widened. She naturally knew the terrifying power her captain could unleash in this Fantasy Kingdom. Sometimes she even suspected that if Roy could leave this continent without any restrictions, he might be able to destroy the World Government single-handedly. That kind of power was beyond the realm of human capability...

For some reason, Robin suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Kaido, who was seen as a demon god by most people.

Moby Dick.

"Red Hair defeated, Beasts Pirates flee in disarray, Scopper Gaban, the Pirate Kings's left-hand man, is dead..." Whitebeard fell silent as he looked at the newspaper in his hand, unsure whether he was lamenting the impermanence of life or the fleeting nature of time.

"Old Man, Nightmare's ambitions are now crystal clear; we must be on guard!"

"The Beasts Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates have already met with disaster; we might be next!"

"The situation is critical, let's quickly recall Captain Marco and the others!"

The crew members were somewhat anxious, worried that they would become the next Red Hair Pirates.

Seemingly jolted awake from his reverie by the noise on the ship, the Whitebeard frowned slightly. "Quiet down, all of you. The sky isn't going to fall."

"No one is stopping Nightmare from becoming one of the Four Emperors; he has the strength and confidence to do so for a long time. But if he wants to go any further, he will only bring about his own destruction. Not only will the Navy and the World Government not tolerate him, but even his allies will turn their backs on him. No one in this world wants to see the birth of a second Pirate Kings. As long as Nightmare has a shred of sanity, he will never choose to cause trouble at this time."

"Unless... he possesses the power to completely destroy the order of this era!"

The Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle, Hall of Power.

"I never expected a man like you to choose to come back in this way."

So, you ultimately failed?

"I have indeed suffered a crushing defeat, but there are no true victors in this war," the Red Hair, shrouded in a black robe, said calmly.

"You really dare to say that. Nightmare has already taken over most of your and Kaido's territory, and is only one step away from the pinnacle of the pirate world."

"It is precisely because he is too strong, so strong that everyone is terrified, that means the day he falls from his peak is not far off. Am I right?"

"It seems you know something..."

"Heh, I am, after all, a person with both sinful and holy blood flowing through my veins. It's not too much for me to know this, is it?"

"A person of both sinful and divine blood? Hmph, an anomaly like you should not exist in this world."

"Since you already know, I might as well tell you. If nothing unexpected happens, the next light to be erased from history will be his."

"It's truly remarkable that you've made this decision. It seems you've also sensed the threat from him." Red Hair turned sarcastic, before he said seriously, "I'll remind you one last time: his target has never been the Pirate Kings as people think, but this world! Moreover, his growth rate is astonishing. If you don't act soon, I wouldn't be surprised if I one day learned that the World Government had been destroyed by him."

"That kind of thing is not something we can decide."

"To say such a thing only proves your ignorance. The 'government' has stood in the world for eight hundred years, and its foundation is beyond your imagination."

"Don't think you're something special just because you've earned the title of one of the Four Emperors. Compared to this world, you're still far from being a significant figure."
