A Turbulent World! Blackbeard!
Now everyone in the world knows that Ian's Beasts Pirates have completely conquered the New World.
Other monster pirates, and even the Navy and the World Government, have been driven out of the New World. Although the Beasts Pirates ' power has not yet spread throughout the New World, it's only a matter of time before no one stops them.
Upon realizing this, many countries in the New World immediately declared their allegiance to the Beasts Pirates.
It even includes several Affiliated Nation of World Government.
There's nothing we can do; circumstances dictate our actions.
Who in the New World can stop the Beasts Pirates now?
No.
Apart from the Beasts Pirates, there are almost no other fighters in the New World with a bounty exceeding 500 million.
While the New World was experiencing constant turmoil, in other parts of the world, restless people were also finding their own way.
An island in North Blue.
"The Emperor? That wretched brat!"
Charlotte Linlin was furious. "What on earth did he do? Shouldn't he have been fighting a fierce battle with the World Government?"
How did things suddenly come to a conclusion and quiet down like this?
She was waiting for Ian and the World Government to have a fierce battle, resulting in mutual destruction, before she would reap the benefits.
Perospero's expression was also somewhat strange. "Perhaps, Ian has some kind of deal with the government?"
"I don't believe there's any deal that would make the World Government obediently hand over the New World,"
Katakuri said coldly, "The only answer is that Ian probably thwarted the World Government's offensive without anyone knowing, forcing them to acknowledge his ownership of the New World!"
"... No way?"
Perospero's tongue, which had been licking the candy cane, froze. "If the government takes action, of course they'll go all out, you know?"
Just how terrifying is the Beasts Pirates, capable of thwarting the World Government's all-out offensive?
"So, Mama,"
Katakuri said seriously, "I don't think we should return to the New World anytime soon."
"Hateful!!"
Aunt Linlin roared in exasperation, "That damned brat! If only he had accepted my marriage proposal back then, none of this would have happened!"
If that brat were to become her son-in-law...
I don't even dare to think about it now!
But it's too late to say anything now.
All that can be done now is to rebuild her Whole Cake Island in this North Blue.
It's also North Blue.
Led by the Moby Dick, a large pirate fleet consisting of numerous Affiliated Pirate Crew was quietly sailing in a certain area of the sea.
Has the New World completely fallen into his hands?
Vista couldn't help but sigh, "Even the World Government, going all out, can't do anything to him anymore? That Ian guy—"
I don't even know how to describe him anymore.
Even though he was an enemy, or even a foe, Vista still wanted to tell Ian that he was truly awesome.
How can there be such powerful pirates! How can there be such amazing young people!
"So it seems,"
Marco sighed and said, "This humiliating decision was actually the right one."
Otherwise, they would be facing pressure from the Beasts Pirates now.
Without a doubt, even with their Pops present, the Beasts Pirates and would be completely wiped out.
Marco glanced back at his Pops, who was silently drinking his wine.
Let's stay in North Blue for now.
On the deck, a graceful young woman silently clenched her fists, her beautiful face contorted in pain.
West Blue.
A certain kingdom.
Inside the royal palace.
The King and the country's nobles knelt on the ground in fear.
Several monsters that had appeared out of nowhere gathered together.
"The Pirate Emperor?"
Redfield, holding Ian's Bounty Poster, remarked, "It seems he's completely surpassed Roger, that kid Ian."
"Even Roger couldn't make the World Government back down."
Crocodile remarked casually, "It seems we won't be able to return to the New World for quite some time."
"Doesn't that mean that bastard Ian is only one step away from becoming the Pirate King?"
Moria gritted his teeth, his voice filled with resentment.
Crocodile turned and glanced at him sideways. "You don't actually want to go back to the New World to try and stop him, do you?"
"..."
Moria was instantly speechless.
He truly harbored deep hatred for the Beasts Pirates.
However, it is also understood that the current disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and any rash action would only lead to certain death.
"Even if we're unwilling to admit it, the fact is that there are only two actors on this world stage right now: only Ian and the World Government are qualified to dance."
Crocodile said, "All the others can do is watch."
"Let's just wait and see, wait for a result where Ian and the World Government both suffer heavy losses."
"What if we don't get that result?"
Shiryu of the Rain some curiosity.
"Then let yourself feel sorry for being born in the same era as Ian."
Crocodile said it casually.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Redfield and Shiryu burst into laughter at the same time.
Yes, if it comes to that, what can be done besides lamenting one's misfortune?
After all, Ian was as radiant as the sun, and no one could dim his light.
"So,"
Crocodile then added, "To avoid that situation, let's act now."
"Isn't the West Blue pretty good too? Right now, the World Government is probably too busy taking care of itself to bother with us."
"Alternatively, we could try contacting the Charlotte Family."
It is also the West Blue.
"The Emperor?"
Red-Haired exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that the World Government has been forced into this situation."
"The power Ian possesses is already ridiculously strong."
First mate Beckman, puffing on his cigarette, spoke leisurely, "But at least for now, it seems there's still some time before the final battle begins."
"They're still waiting for Ancient Weapon, aren't they?"
The Red-Haired said, "Both the government and Ian are waiting for the power to make the final decision."
"Shanks, right now, there's probably no one qualified to compete with Ian for the title of Pirate King."
Beckman glanced at his partner.
If he had wanted to, he would have been the strongest contender for the title of Pirate King.
Red-Haired, seemingly oblivious to Beckman's meaning, simply smiled and said, "What will this world become?"
Who will reshape this world next: Ian or the World Government?
In any case, the world has indeed entered a brand new era.
The New World is now only home to the Beasts Pirates.
However, the monster pirates that Ian had driven away from this area did not quiet down.
In the North Blue, the Charlotte Family has begun a rapid expansion, conquering several countries in quick succession, aiming to recreate a Whole Cake Island.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates did not conquer through violence, their past reputation still attracted many non- Affiliated Nation to voluntarily join their ranks and seek their protection.
In the West Blue, the NEO Marines and the Cross Guild are also expanding rapidly without any attempt to conceal their actions.
They seemed convinced that the current World Government had no energy to deal with them, so they acted with impunity.
Even the usually calm and cautious Zephyr made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts and began to expand his power.
However, just as they thought, the government's resources were too depleted, and it was indeed unable to spare much manpower to target them.
After withdrawing its forces from the New World, the World Government immediately launched a massive conscription campaign across the globe.
Regardless of background or origin, as long as there is no serious criminal record, anyone can participate in this conscription.
As long as one is strong enough, one can stand out from the crowd and obtain a position granted by the government based on the strength demonstrated.
If one is strong enough, one could even become Marine Headquarters Admiral.
Without a doubt, this massive conscription has once again ignited the world.
However, the discussion was not about how many positions the World Government would actually offer.
The real question is just how strong the Beasts Pirates, led by Ian, really are, and to what extent have they pushed the World Government World Government to the brink that forced them to resort to such a desperate measure?
Anyone with a modicum of knowledge had already realized that the Beasts Pirates seemed to have acquired enough power to rival the World Government.
They are far more than just a pirate crew.
Unprecedented, the world is about to witness the emergence of its first regime capable of rivaling the World Government.
While the whole world was in turmoil, the Beasts Pirates certainly didn't stop either.
The conquest of the New World has officially begun.
Because he had a limited number of men under his command, Ian only sent out two teams.
A force led by Uncle Jin marches from Wano Country to conquer the seas that originally belonged to the Charlotte Family, the Cross Guild, and the World Government.
One group, led by Solemn and Kuma, traveled back to the Giant Kingdom to recruit soldiers, while also seizing the territory that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Wano Country is located in the middle of the New World, which allows for simultaneous development from both ends.
It should be said that neither team's actions can be simply described as easy.
There was absolutely no hindrance whatsoever.
The two teams had barely passed through that sea area when all the countries near it rushed to raise the Beasts Pirates ' flag, declaring their acceptance of Ian's rule.
There's no other way; who would dare to oppose the Beasts Pirates?
In just over a month, almost every country in the New World had raised the flag of the Beasts Pirates.
Even the Whole Cake Island, which Aunt Linlin once created, has now submitted to the banner of the Beasts Pirates.
Theoretically speaking, the New World has already been largely subdued.
However, in reality, Ian's control over the New World remains very limited.
Even if no King in any of the countries of the New World dared to disobey his orders, all countries would have to obediently pay him protection money.
However, Ian still finds it difficult to directly control the internal affairs of these countries.
Take your time.
Ultimately, it comes down to having too few subordinates.
At this point, when the New World had almost completely fallen, somewhere in the New World, a man riding a bicycle sighed.
"I really don't know what to do now. Maybe I should respond to that invitation from back then?"
Marine Headquarters G-1 Base.
Ember flapped its wings and floated above the base.
This Marine Base has a considerable reputation worldwide.
Even among the Navy's G-series bases, this base is of the highest standard, almost on par with the Marine Headquarters.
After all, like Marineford, it bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and in some ways it is even more important, since it is defending against monsters from the New World.
In the past, there was always a Marine Admiral's assistant here, precisely to prevent forces from the New World from destroying Mary Geoise.
In the original timeline, this fortress would have become the new Marine Headquarters.
However, the fortress is now deserted, with only the magnificent headquarters building and the spacious naval port remaining, but there are no signs of human activity inside.
"If even this base has been abandoned, then Mary Geoise should be abandoned as well, right? After all, without its protection, it's too dangerous there."
Jin raised his head and looked towards the back of the base. Not too far away, a red mountain wall stood.
Red Line.
Long, long ago, his ancestors lived atop these towering walls.
Perhaps, he will have the chance to return to that place to live again in the future.
Ian.
What an amazing person!
Perhaps, he is the Joy Boy that the Lunarian have been waiting for.
After sighing for a moment, Jhin turned around and left without hesitation.
There was no need to stay here any longer; he needed to return to G-5 base.
The New World was too vast, so Ian divided the sea into many regions, sending a high-ranking official to guard each region.
Jin is in charge of the area at the mouth of the New World, which is essentially the front line.
He chose to be stationed at Base G-5.
After all, G-1 base is too close to the Red Line.
It's worth mentioning that Enel is stationed in Whole Cake Island, Kuma is stationed on Hachinosu Island, Ian's good friend Hawk Eyes is also living in seclusion there.
The Giant Kingdom and the subsequent seas were to be managed by Solemn and his companions.
Besides these places, there is another crucial area.
Below the Red Line lies Fish-Man Island.
In the Ryugu Palace, a grand banquet is underway.
"Does Lord Ian mean..."
Jinbe spoke earnestly, "Let me stay on Fish-Man Island to build a large-scale Fish-Man Sea Beast army, while preventing pirates from the first half of the Grand Line from successfully entering the New World."
"Lord Ian desires a peaceful and tranquil New World; the pirates are getting in the way!"
"No problem!"
Neptune looked excited.
His choice was definitely right!
Lord Ian has already ruled the New World so quickly!
We're not far from ruling the world!
On an island in the waters Wano Country.
"Who are you!!"
Several members of the Beasts Pirates, who had eaten Artificial Devil Fruit and turned into beastmen, surrounded a fat, dark-skinned man with a few wild beasts.
They asked in astonishment, "Marshall D. Teach, the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates? What are you doing here?"
"Thief, hahaha!"
The fat, dark-skinned man laughed heartily, "Could you help me contact Ian? I'm here to join this pirate crew!"
