The New Worst Generation

Former Shichibukai Crocodile joins the Hell Pirates!

The news was quickly published on the sea by the news agency.

The various forces reacted differently to this.

The lower ranks of the One Piece naturally believe that the rise of the Hell Pirates is unstoppable, and that even a strongman like Crocodile has to 'submit,' which shows how powerful the God Slayer is.

The World Government and the Navy, as always, remained silent and indifferent.

Even as this news once again ignited public opinion at sea, Morgans suddenly revealed the killing of Celestial Dragons from the East Blue... Even so, it seemed that it did not anger the Celestial Dragons; the official statement was just a very perfunctory one.

Steel Bone Kong, the Supreme Commander of the World Government, personally declared Oboro to be one of the most dangerous and heinous criminals in the world.

The member states around the world are prohibited from opening their travel routes and sea lanes to the Hell Pirates.

The reaction seemed significant, but for the Hell Pirates, it was nothing at all.

Because One Piece are free at sea, it's too difficult for member states to suppress One Piece.

Moreover, this is the job of the World Government.

Oboro naturally had his own thoughts on this. The government had failed several times in its attempts to capture or kill him. In addition, the mysterious power he possessed made the Five Elders decide to 'observe' him for a while, and also to wait for the undercover Rob Lucci to investigate.

There are other reasons besides wanting to provoke a conflict Hell Pirates and the Yonko.

One Piece who have encountered the Hell Pirates, such as the Supernova of the Four Blues, undoubtedly regard the Hell Pirates as the biggest threat among their group... This has even given some of them the idea of forming an alliance or joining forces.

Thanks to Morgans's efforts, the news agency is already hyping up the topic of new-era One Piece, including the Straw Hat Pirates, Eustass Kid, Law, Hawkins, and others. These One Piece crews all entered the Grand Line around the same time. The most representative one is naturally the Hell Pirates, followed by Marshall D. Teach's Blackbeard Pirates... As for the others, they all have to take a backseat.

Of course, the Hell Pirates stood out from the crowd and were the most outstanding among this group of One Piece.

Even Crocodile Luffy at the height of his fame, is no match for him.

Morgans also called them the Worst Generation.

As this reputation spread, the first half of the Grand Line became noticeably busier, as many new-generation One Piece wanted to ride this wave to fame. Suddenly, the Navy's workload increased considerably... Most importantly, fueled by the news agency's hype, the changing maritime situation, and the World Government's countermeasures, the bounties across the entire One Piece system began to skyrocket at an alarming rate.

The reason for this trend is that the landscape has changed, and the atmosphere of the new era is sweeping in.

This is widely believed.

It was because the God Slayer broke through the impasse and entered.

The Hell Pirates are the most subjective factor.

Admittedly, Morgans also played a part in taking advantage of the situation.

The situation at sea has become turbulent.

It's also starting to feel a little out of control...

Sabaody Archipelago.

Shakky's Rip-off Bar.

In the tavern, Rayleigh sat on a stool in front of the counter, holding a newspaper and drinking.

The old man's cheeks were flushed with alcohol as he murmured, "That was terrifying... how long has it been?"

He was referring to the period from the time of the Sabaody Archipelago incident, specifically the period after Oboro killed the Celestial Dragons and fled the area.

Even back then, he and Roger and others did not have this speed of growth or the ability to make the World Government 'strangle' them.

When the Roger Pirates first rose to fame, they were often 'taught a lesson' by the Navy and the government, and went through a rather embarrassing period.

"Even Shiki was killed by him..."

Shakky held a cigarette between her fingers and exhaled a puff of smoke. "When I first saw this kid, I knew... he was no ordinary person."

"So? Do you think he can get there?"

Shakky asked with a smile.

"Hehe."

Rayleigh smiled.

Laugh Tale.

"It wasn't him."

Rayleigh made a definitive conclusion, with absolute certainty.

"Oh?"

Shakky raised an eyebrow.

That's true, the Hell Pirates haven't even entered the New World yet, so it's too early to say anything about it now.

"Even if he defeated any of the Yonko, or even achieved 'domination', he is still not that person..." Rayleigh's words were loaded with meaning.

"Look at the look in this kid's eyes."

Rayleigh shook the newspaper, revealing a huge photo of a God Slayer, showing Oboro sitting in the Alubarna tavern.

Beneath the black brim of the hat, besides a calm face covered in scars, there was also... a pair of eyes that seemed gentle, but were actually devoid of any emotion, as if indifferent to everything in this world.

"He wants to kill... Celestial Dragons."

"His ambitions are not in Laugh Tale, and he is not the same kind of creature as me, Roger, or us One Piece."

"What he wanted... was to overthrow the world."

"To be more precise, the feeling I got from him was... as if the whole world was just a game to him."

With a loud bang, Rayleigh slammed the empty wine bottle onto the table.

Then, in a heavy tone, he said.

Upon hearing this, Shakky quietly smoked her cigarette without replying.

"I'm starting to regret it... that I helped him back then."

"..."

Shakky.

The kind of person God Slayer brings to the world... not peace.

"The person Shanks was talking about must be the Straw Hat."

Shakky hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject.

"Um."

Rayleigh smiled Luffy was mentioned.

He recognized the straw hat Luffy was wearing.

"Fufufu... Crocodile, I never thought... that you would bow down to someone one day."

New World, Flamingo.

Doflamingo sat on a chair on the deck, holding a newspaper, and chuckled strangely.

"Thief, hahaha... No wonder it's him!"

"This is... becoming more and more frightening, God Slayer."

The Grand Line, the town of Banaro Island.

Marshall D. Teach sat on a rock with his back to him like a horse, staring at the news in his newspaper with a wide grin.

Just as you guessed, he did come.

"Just arrived on the island."

At this moment, Lafitte, who was holding a staff and sword, sprouted wings on his back, glided through the air, and slowly landed on the ground.

He looked at Marshall D. Teach.

"Hahaha... It's amazing he managed to find his way here and hold out until now."

Marshall D. Teach wiped the spilled wine from the corner of his mouth, then slapped his thigh and stood up. "Let's go, I'll take you to meet this old friend of mine."

"Perfect... let's give it a try and surprise him with our newfound power."

"Be careful, my friend... isn't so easy to talk to."

"Hahaha..."
