Taking the Initiative, Reuniting with Old Friends
The New World, the last sea of the world, a place where the truly strong gather, and a lair of monsters.
Now, the Sirius Pirates have returned to this area.
"The New World?"
Standing on the deck of the Sirius, Luo looked up at the rapidly gathering dark clouds in the sky and said with a sigh, "We've finally arrived here."
Boom!
A thunderclap boomed in the sky, and the lightning bolts leaping through the clouds illuminated everyone on the deck.
"If we conquer this sea, the captain will be the Pirate King, right?" Bepo said happily.
It has been almost four years since I joined the Sirius Pirates and started sailing together, and now this moment has finally arrived.
"That's right!"
Yamato grinned and announced loudly, "This is the last stretch of sea!"
"So, Sirius, what should we do?"
Sirius stretched.
Yes, what should we do?
Once you reach this sea area, you can no longer be as leisurely as before.
This is a gathering place for monsters, a sea where true powerhouses roam.
Not to mention, he had already explored many places in the New World back when he was still with the Beasts Pirates, so he no longer had a strong desire to travel around.
If I had to say there's anywhere else I'd like to see, it would only be the endpoint that the Log Pose can reach, that is Water Star Island, which few people can reach either.
But just going to that island seems pretty boring.
Now that we know the whereabouts of all four stones, what are we hesitating for?
"It's time to take the initiative!"
Sirius laughed heartily, "Go and seize all the stones, then head to Laugh Tale!"
It's time to become the Pirate King.
Sorry Luffy and Kid, you might not make it in time.
"It should have been done a long time ago!"
Jack grinned excitedly, "No one can stop us now!"
"Hahaha, is the final battle with my father finally about to begin?"
Yamato laughed heartily, "We've been waiting for this for a long time!"
Hearing her say that, Law couldn't help but complain, "I really don't understand what kind of relationship you have with Kaido."
To say that Yamato hates Kaido is not true; she speaks of him with great respect.
But he was determined to fight Kaido.
"Because this was decided a long time ago!"
Yamato looked at Sirius and said with a grin, "Right, Sirius?"
"Certainly."
Sirius nodded slightly.
I decided a long time ago that I was going to beat up Teacher Kaido.
Moreover, this battle is unavoidable; even if I don't go, Teacher Kaido will come to me anyway.
"This is really a headache,"
Maria sighed. "Does that mean we have to fight our old comrades?"
"Not fighting is also acceptable,"
Sirius laughed and said, "Just stand aside and watch."
"Sirius! Really," Maria said, slightly annoyed, "Are you saying our battle has no impact on the outcome of the war?"
"I didn't say that."
Sirius laughed heartily, "Anyway, let's go! Whoever we meet first will be the first unlucky one!"
"Is this a lottery?"
"By the way, Black, how's the research on Pluton's power reactor going?"
"The analysis is complete, but the problem is that those substances are definitely not found in the Blue Sea; at least I've never seen them before. Until we find the source and extract them, I can only try to find some substitutes."
"I see."
The Sirius sailed through the waves without stopping, heading straight for the latter part of the New World.
The ultimate goal is Water Star Island. Along the way, you can visit old friends in Elbaf. Of course, the most important thing along the way is to fight the three Pirate Emperors and take all the stones from them. Then, take some time to go to Zou and get the last stone.
The journey has come to an end; it's time to speed things up for this vast ocean.
The Sirius sped forward, its superior maneuverability, far exceeding that of any other ship on the sea, allowing it to traverse a long distance in a short time.
On this day, the Sirius arrived at a certain sea area, and there wasn't much food left on board.
Unfortunately, they hadn't replenished their food supplies much on Fish-Man Island.
After all, their diets are quite different. Sirius likes to eat meat, while Fish-Man Island has a lot of seaweed and shellfish. It's fine for an occasional meal or two, but it's not enough to eat it as a staple food every day.
There is an island nearby.
"Shall we go over there?" asked Black, the strategist on the ship.
"Certainly!"
The Sirius then changed course and headed towards the island.
It didn't take long before an island appeared on the sea ahead.
However, besides the island, there was an unexpected situation.
"Um?"
Yamato looked into the distance in surprise. "Is there a war going on?"
A fierce naval battle is underway near the island.
The two fleets, totaling about twenty ships, had already spread out on the sea and were engaged in a fierce battle.
The deafening roar of the cannons was like the incessant crackling of firecrackers. Dense shells flew through the sky, then crashed into the sea, creating huge plumes of water, and struck the ships with astonishing explosions.
"It's so lively!"
Sirius couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had been a pirate for many years, including his time with the Beasts Pirates, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such an intense naval battle.
After all, although they are nominally pirates or marines, if they really fight, it will still happen on land.
Black's mechanical eyes flashed red. "Judging by the flags, it's the Charlotte Family and the Flying Pirates."
"Senior Shiki?"
Sirius an eyebrow.
The Charlotte Family is understandable, after all, they are a long-established powerful family in the New World.
But didn't Shiki- senpai only return to the New World recently? How come he's already built up such a massive force?
This fleet is clearly not the main force; there's nothing particularly powerful about it.
But that's not important.
The important thing is --
"There's a familiar aura here."
Sirius smirked. "Black! Come over here! Go say hello to your old friend."
Almost simultaneously, in the distant Charlotte Family fleet, a ship shot forward like an arrow, charging ahead into the fierce barrage of enemy fire.
Unsurprisingly, the enemy began to concentrate their fire, and a barrage of shells rained down upon them.
Just as the ship was about to be blasted to pieces, a burly-looking man on the ship's side sneered, slapped his hand hard, and biscuit crumbs flew everywhere, forming a huge biscuit shield above.
Boom boom boom boom.
All the shells landed on the biscuit shield and exploded, but they didn't shake the shield in the slightest.
"It's Charlotte Cracker!!"
"The Sweet Commander has actually arrived!"
"We're doomed!"
We can already hear the screams from the other side.
A cruel smile crept across Cracker's lips.
Go to hell, you idiots!
Then, at this time...
"Hey! Cracker! Long time no see!"
