King of the New World! Emperor!

Punk Hazard.

Marine Science Unit.

This Marine Base, built at the foot of a mountain range, is now slated for abandonment.

The base gates, which were usually tightly closed, were now wide open, and massive warships sailed out from the huge doors.

On the lead warship, Vergo watched with a mixture of awe and admiration as the man paced back and forth on the deck, instructing the sailors not to damage his instruments.

The reason is simple.

Isn't that a bit too big?

It refers to the man's head.

It's practically the size of a small mountain! Just looking at it is terrifying.

Is this Vegapunk? He's quite different from the image of the mad scientist I imagined.

Vergo thought to himself silently.

"Can I never come back?"

After giving his instructions to the Marines, Vegapunk looked back at the island behind him with a touch of melancholy.

It's impossible for him to say he had no feelings at all. For more than twenty years since he was forcibly recruited by the World Government, he had been staying on this island to conduct research.

"That depends on when the government is able to defeat the Beasts Pirates."

Kizaru, lounging lazily in a chair and slurping Kizaru, replied slowly, "The entire New World has been completely abandoned now."

"This sea area is now effectively under Ian's control. These warships were all transferred directly from G-5 base. All the bases established in the New World will be abandoned."

"Is it really true that even the World Government is powerless now?"

Vegapunk's tone was filled with unspeakable shock.

Even the Rocks Pirates back in the day couldn't have done this, right?

The World Government was forced to completely abandon the New World, even neglecting the dozen or so Affiliated Nation in that sea area.

"The Beasts Pirates, or rather Ian's strength, has reached an incomprehensible level."

Kizaru slowly shook his head and sighed softly, "Those who haven't fought him can't understand that feeling."

Perhaps, despair is the best word to describe it?

No attack could affect him; on the contrary, he was completely unable to defend against any attack.

In Kizaru's eyes, people like Sengoku, Mr. Garp, or pirates like Kaido, Whitebeard, and Roger were already the strongest beings in the world.

But right now, Kizaru just feels that their strength is nowhere near Ian's.

That guy is powerful from another dimension!

With him around, no one can take the New World back from him.

Vegapunk just stared at Kizaru looked completely bewildered.

He rarely saw such a helpless expression on his old friend's face.

Is Ian of the Scorched Sky really that powerful?

Um?

He suddenly thought of something.

If it were that man, could he protect himself?

"Let's go, Doctor."

Kizaru said, "We can no longer stay in the New World; even G-1 base will have to be abandoned."

"Perhaps even Mary Geoise will have to change positions later."

Having lost all its barriers, it would be too presumptuous to place Mary Geoise directly in the face of the New World.

The Celestial Dragons have no concept of the emperor guarding the country's borders.

"World,"

Kizaru put down his chopsticks and sighed softly, "It really has been completely changed."

What follows is a brand new era.

The power of the World Government began to be completely withdrawn from the New World.

Marine Base were being rapidly evacuated, and Affiliated Nation were being notified that they were being abandoned.

All of this is currently unknown to outsiders.

But soon, everything will be detonated.

With the help of Kuma's abilities, Ian and his group quickly returned to Wano Country.

The news of victory brought immense joy to all the friends.

Undoubtedly, although this battle did not result in a complete victory, it also demonstrates that the Beasts Pirates possess the strength to rival the World Government.

The era of pirates fighting each other, and pirates fighting the Navy, is over.

Next, the main theme of the world will be the confrontation between the Beasts Pirates and the World Government!

This should certainly be described as the most joyous banquet.

And so, a grand banquet began on Onigashima.

"Let's party!"

Standing atop the castle tower, Ian declared to the pirates in the plaza below, "The New World has become our inland sea! We have conquered the World's Strongest!"

"Oooooo!!"

The pirates on the entire island were in an uproar.

"Long live Lord Ian!!"

"Lord Ian is the strongest!"

Cheers were heard everywhere.

Ian smiled, downed his drink in one gulp, then turned and walked back into the castle tower, to the banquet hall reserved for the executives.

"Ian ..."

Yamato swayed a little as she walked over, wrapped her arms around his waist, rubbed her flushed face against his chest, and poked his chin with her horns.

This girl isn't a very good drinker; she's already a bit tipsy after her drinking contest with Hancock.

Ian simply wrapped her up under his armpits, holding her like he was hugging a blanket, and sat back down in his seat.

My bottom had just touched the cushion.

"Ian ..."

A soft, kitten-like voice came from the other side, Hancock, her face also slightly flushed, gently pressed herself against him.

Black Maria, playing the shamisen and acting as a temporary geisha to add to the festivities, shook her head helplessly at the scene.

Ian has finally gone down the path of being a scumbag and there's no turning back.

"Hehehehe!"

Teacher Kai, sitting at the lower end of the table, laughed heartily, seemingly approving of his eldest disciple who was flanked by two women.

Ian was used to it. He put down his glass, grabbed the drunken Yamato's hand Yamato was poking his cheek, and looked around at the executives gathered there.

He said, "Celebrations are one thing, but there's still a lot to do."

Although it's a bit impolite to discuss serious matters at a celebratory banquet.

But there's so much to do, so let's just make the most of our time.

"Next, we'll conquer the entire New World."

Ian said, "But with our current troop strength, achieving this goal will be somewhat difficult."

The Beasts Pirates have a combined force of less than 100,000 men, so controlling the entire New World would be a very troublesome task.

Fortunately, almost every country has its own army; all we need to do is conquer these countries.

Even so, the Beasts Pirates ' forces were still insufficient.

The New World is just too big.

"We need to expand our troop strength."

Ian said.

"Hehehe! Boss! Should I go back to the Giant Kingdom and recruit some more warriors?"

At this moment, Solemn winked at Ian, "Now, Elbaf should be fully supporting you."

"That would be perfect."

Ian nodded with a smile.

It is no exaggeration to say that in war, the role that one giant can play is greater than that of a thousand humans.

"In that case,"

Jinbe also raised his hand and spoke up, "Lord Ian, Fish-Man Island can also provide manpower!"

"Very good! However, we need to recruit giants and Fish-Man, but we also need to recruit ordinary humans."

After nodding to Jinbe, Ian looked at Tesoro and said, "Tesoro, I'll leave this to you."

"Please leave it to me, Lord Ian."

Tesoro replied without hesitation, "I will begin the recruitment process as soon as possible."

"And then..."

Ian continued, "Although we are still nominally a pirate crew, it's somewhat inappropriate to govern such a vast sea area with a pirate mentality."

Bullet.

Ian suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Bullet, who was engrossed in eating, looked up.

"You have military experience, so I'll leave this to you. Go and train the Beasts Pirates into a well-trained army," Ian said.

Bullet's lips twitched slightly. "Are you kidding me?"

He did serve in the military, but he was a child soldier used as cannon fodder. He was always the one being trained; he never trained others.

"Take your time."

Ian casually remarked, "If you really can't manage, just grab a few officers from the Navy to help you."

"Next comes the last and most crucial matter."

Ian said, "Although the New World is nominally ours, we still need to send troops to conquer it if we really want to occupy this sea area."

Anyone interested?

Many people's eyes lit up instantly.

The next day arrived.

Because he drank a bit too much last night, Ian slept until late morning.

Before he could even have lunch, Morgans, who had been staying in Wano Country, excitedly brought him a newspaper.

This wasn't even a published newspaper; it was a forward-thinking newspaper that Mogos had copied directly on Onigashima after receiving the news.

"Hahaha! Lord Ian! The government has admitted their defeat!"

Morgans said this with a hearty laugh.

Ian took the newspaper with a surprised expression.

No way?

Will the World Government so readily admit their defeat?

Not to mention that this time even all five of the Gorosei were mobilized.

When I picked up the newspaper, I saw that it didn't report on the battle at all; it was all just trivial news.

"Lord Ian, the newspaper isn't important! What's important is this!"

Morgans grinned and tore off several sheets of paper from the back of the newspaper, spreading them out one by one in front of Ian.

Ian raised an eyebrow.

Those were several Bounty Poster.

"Hahaha! This is an unprecedented amount!!!"

Although people saw these Bounty Poster a little later Ian, soon, people around the world also saw the latest Bounty Poster through Newsbird.

Somewhere in the West Blue.

On a certain island.

Zephyr stared at the Bounty Poster in front of him, his expression extremely grave.

"That's an outrageous amount!"

Beside him, Gion stared in disbelief. "I've never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it before! Even a novelist would probably find it hard to use such an exaggerated number!"

She picked up the Bounty Poster placed in the very center, which featured the face of a handsome young man smiling wildly.

However, the owner of this face now possesses an unprecedented bounty.

Gion counted the string of zeros under the photo again, and she found it hard to believe.

But no matter how many times you count them, they're all the same.

She had no choice but to believe.

"Pirate Emperor Ian, bounty: 10 billion Beli!"

"The government's efforts have failed."

Zephyr sighed softly, "We can't erase Ian, so all we can do is futilely increase his bounty."

"But 10 billion is too outrageous! Even the Pirate King's bounty is only half of that!"

Gion exclaimed, "What did that Ian guy do?"

"Perhaps,"

"Did he force the government to completely abandon the New World, making him the true King of the World?" Zephyr said.

"Make the government abandon the New World?"

Gion felt her jaw drop. "Is this really possible?"

"Hasn't the government already changed Ian's title to ' Pirate Emperor '?"

Zephyr chuckled, "If all they can do is try to incite the pirates' hostility towards Ian, then they've really run out of ideas."

"So?"

Gion felt a little thirsty.

That kid, when I first met him in North Blue a few years ago, didn't seem much stronger than her. At most, he was Ian with a remarkable finishing move. Has he become this strong?

She looked at the other Bounty Poster.

Kaido of the Beasts, with a bounty of 4.46 billion Beli, is the highest-ranking living pirate after Ian and Whitebeard.

The Devil's Heir, Douglas Bullet, bounty 3.5 billion Beli.

Dracule Mihawk, with a bounty of 2.5 billion Beli, has this former Shichibukai joined the Beasts Pirates?

Ghost Princess Yamato, with a bounty of 2.3 billion Beli, has had her title changed to "Queen" since Ian became the emperor who rules the New World.

Boa Hancock, the Snake Princess, with a bounty of 2 billion Beli. Ian, that bastard, is truly a scumbag in every way!

"But,"

Gion swallowed hard. "Do these two women really deserve this level of bounty?"

A bounty of over two billion! Among Ian's bounties for the Navy, only Admiral deserves that level!

Who knows?

Zephyr simply sighed. "I just know that a new era is about to begin."

A brand new era has indeed arrived.

At first, people didn't realize what had happened; they were just terrified by Ian's outrageous bounty.

But soon, when people realized that all of the government's forces in the New World were beginning to withdraw, they realized that the World Government seemed to have abandoned the New World.

Doesn't that mean—

"Ian won? He forced the World Government to back down without our knowledge?"

"How could such a thing happen? Does the World Government really intend to let Ian take over the New World?"

"Nothing like this has ever happened before! Is the New World about to be truly conquered?"

"He's now the King of the World! An unprecedented man who transformed the most powerful and chaotic sea in the world into an inland sea! No wonder the government now calls him the Pirate Emperor!"

"There are no more Four Emperors! Ian is the only Pirate Emperor! Even Whitebeard is not worthy of being compared to him!"

"Pirate Emperor? He's more than just a pirate! Ian is the real emperor! The emperor who rules the New World!"

emperor.

That's what people call Ian.

The next chapter will be available soon! I'm writing it now!!
