Surging, a Voice Calling Hiyori
"The strongest?"
Later in the New World, on the Moby Dick, Teach laughed dismissively, "These idiots actually say Black Wolf's guys are the strongest!"
His words immediately elicited a burst of laughter on the deck.
Someone chimed in, "If Black Wolf's brat is the strongest, then what is the old man?"
Their own father was the strongest man on this sea; this was a consensus among all members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Who knows if what Shiki said is true?" someone sneered. "After all, apart from Sirius's group and the Charlotte Family, no one really knows what the battle went like."
Yeah, who knows if that Golden Lion guy just made it up?
"Ignore them,"
Whitebeard, however, showed little interest and didn't seem to care. He simply leaned back lazily in his large recliner, thinking, "The strongest? Only greenhorns would argue so heatedly over something so trivial."
He never really cared about these kinds of things.
"Dad's right, it doesn't matter."
Marco, sitting on the gunwale, chuckled and said, "That guy will show up in front of us sooner or later. All we need to do is avenge Thatch."
On an unnamed island in the New World, the Red-Haired Pirates took a temporary break.
"That's incredible! They defeated an opponent like Charlotte Big Mom so easily." The ship's sniper Yasopp, exclaimed with admiration while holding a newspaper. "Just how strong has that guy Sirius become?"
The last time we met, I was even learning from the captain how to use Armament Haki for Internal Destruction.
"Hahahaha, he's already been called the strongest! Anyway, the captain is nowhere near as good as him now!" The fat guy, Lucky Roux, laughed heartily.
Red-Haired couldn't help but laugh.
It's certainly something to be happy about when a friend can achieve better development and make further progress.
But.
While pleased, Red-Haired also said with concern, "Sirius's next target is Kaido, and then Whitebeard."
He wants to collect all the stones and become the Pirate King.
"But it's too early--"
He stood up. "Let's set sail! We have to see Sirius!"
The West Blue, the Flower Country.
"Lord Sirius has already defeated the Charlotte Family, and we, as his followers, haven't even had a chance to do anything!"
Chinjao declared eloquently, "We can't wait any longer! It's time to head to the New World! To meet Lord Sirius before the next war begins!"
"It should have been done a long time ago!"
Daz Bones nodded emphatically.
Beki was somewhat bewildered. Was she really going to go to the New World with these guys?
Beihai, in a certain country.
Hawkins turned over the tarot cards in front of him.
"Is change imminent? Then,"
"Shouldn't we take action too?"
Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle, Chamber of Power.
"Charlotte Big Mom lost so decisively!"
The bald, scarred man with a mustache, one of the Five Elders, shouted, "The Charlotte Family is utterly powerless against the Black Wolf's crew!"
"Black Wolf's strength has completely exceeded our expectations!"
From the very beginning, the Five Elders believed that the Charlotte Family would be no match for the Sirius Pirates.
The Charlotte Family simply couldn't withstand the combination of the Black Wolf, the White Wolf, and the mechanical warship.
But they hadn't expected the battle to end so one-sidedly.
The only truly intense battle was between Charlotte Big Mom and Black Wolf.
The confrontation between the officials was a complete rout; the Charlotte Family couldn't even put up a fight.
The Black Wolf's crew didn't care much about defeating the Charlotte Family's Five Elders, but the way they won was something they couldn't help but care about.
The bespectacled Five Elders, dressed in a white robe and carrying a sword, said worriedly, "Based on this assessment, neither the Beasts Pirates nor the Whitebeard Pirates will be a match for the Black Wolf's crew."
"If left unchecked, he might actually be able to collect all the stones!"
If things really develop to that point, it would be extremely dangerous.
"His next target is Kaido, but it seems Kaido and Charlotte Big Mom are going to join forces," the blond Five Elders said in a deep voice. "In that case, no matter how strong the Black Wolf's crew, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat the combined forces of two emperors!"
"Let's wait a little longer. If Black Wolf wins the next battle, we'll have to bother that person, which is something he wouldn't want to see either."
The situation is gradually spiraling out of control.
Meanwhile, in the New World...
"Sirius, our bounty has gone up again!"
Yamato waved a stack of wanted posters excitedly.
"Really? Let me see."
That's understandable. After the battle on Whole Cake Island, it would be unreasonable for the government to maintain the original bounty.
But Sirius didn't expect that this time the increase would be quite large.
He flipped through the wanted posters.
"Black Wolf Sirius, 4.432 billion Beli."
Now we're getting both whole and odd amounts again.
"Four billion? Captain, you're amazing!" Bepo exclaimed in amazement.
Page One clenched his fist, excitedly exclaiming, "As expected of our eldest brother! He's already on par with Kaido!"
"Hehe, I'm worth three billion!" Yamato waved her wanted poster around.
Although he is the second-in-command of the Sirius Pirates, this bounty is nothing like that of a second-in-command.
"Am I worth 2.3 billion Beli?" Black asked with a laugh. "Not bad."
"I'm worth 1.1 billion Beli," Jack said with satisfaction, "I've surpassed Brother King and Queen Brother."
Maria and Luo each received 900 million, Hiyori received 800 million, the Ulti and her brother received 750 million and 700 million respectively, Bepo the least at 550 million.
"Without a doubt, we are now the pirate crew with the highest average bounty on the high seas!"
Sirius into laughter.
Moreover, it's a clear first place, with a gap in the rankings before it's Red-Haired' turn.
"Let's have a feast! It's a moment worth celebrating!"
And so the lively banquet began.
Amidst laughter, the Sirius continued its journey.
Although his next target was the Beasts Pirates, Sirius wasn't in a hurry. Just like when he was in the Four Seas, he leisurely visited some islands he hadn't been to before as he made his way forward.
On this day, the Sirius Pirates were still sailing on the sea, heading towards another island.
"Um?"
Hiyori, who was playing music with Maria Hiyori, suddenly covered her forehead.
"What's wrong, Hiyori?"
Maria quickly asked with concern.
"Someone is calling me." Hiyori turned her head somewhat blankly to look at the distant sea.
"I'm calling you?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"He's getting closer, he's coming to find me!"
Interesting.
