The Rise of a New Emperor and Its Impact

"Go!" Teach flew back to the Queen Anne's Revenge, landing on the deck. His body swayed slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Although it doesn't look like a big problem, the injury is actually quite serious and requires time to recover.

As the battle progressed and he continued to clash with Whitebeard, Teach's physical condition worsened.

The damage caused by vibration is not visible on the surface.

"Captain, the food is ready," Mostima nodded and said.

The air was filled with a wonderful aroma; he had long anticipated this situation and had ordered preparations to be made as soon as he realized the battle was nearing its end.

Teach's stamina has reached its limit, and he needs plenty of energy to replenish it. With enough energy, his injuries can recover quickly in a short period of time.

"Hmm." Teach's depleted body was desperately craving an energy boost, so he went to the large table of food and began to eat heartily.

Teach devoured the food on the table like a glutton, but his stomach remained unchanged. The food was quickly digested and converted into energy to replenish Teach's body.

Such a physique and powerful digestive ability are essential for becoming a strong person in the New World.

Every cell in Teach's body was craving energy, and his final move, Dark Sun, pushed his energy to its limit.

Meat was continuously brought up and devoured by Teach.

The same scene unfolded on the other side with the Whitebeard Pirates. Although Whitebeard was in much better condition than Teach, he was also greatly exhausted and had suffered considerable injuries.

They needed to quickly recover their strength so as not to give other forces an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Night Pirates had already departed with their massive fleets, and the remaining forces watching the battle could no longer linger.

Morgans Luffy his home base immediately after the battle, eager to present the world with a clearer and more spectacular view as quickly as possible.

In a short time, thanks to the large amount of food, Teach's strength had recovered to about 70-80%, and his wounds were visibly healing. However, his internal injuries would require a longer period of recuperation.

Only the hideous scar on his chest remained.

"Phew!" Teach exhaled a breath of hot air, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked up to see the members of the Night Pirates all around him.

Seated on the throne, Teach index finger lightly on the armrest. "We retreat. Except for the Notting Sea Domain, our designated target, we'll return the rest to them."

"Hmm." Mostima nodded; he knew why.

Although the war is over, the Whitebeard Pirates will not let it go. After all, they have lost such a large territory, so how can they do nothing?

Returning the territory was a significant gesture of respect to the Whitebeard Pirates.

More importantly, Whitebeard was too strong, his strength was terrifying. Whitebeard after Awakening, Whitebeard was no match for Teach in a head-on Teach.

The excruciating pain was so intense that it nearly made Teach lose consciousness; it's unbelievable how Teach managed to endure it.

This extreme amplification of attack power Teach, even with the same Awakening, cannot match.

Of course, Teach has only just Awakening and has not yet fully mastered the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit Awakening.

After some time, the Dark-Dark Fruit's gravitational pull increased again. Even if it couldn't completely withstand the vibrational power of Whitebeard 'Devil Fruit Awakening Tremor-Tremor Fruit, it was still able to absorb a large portion of the power.

Besides, the Night Pirates have already achieved their goal. Rather than continuing to entangle with the Whitebeard Pirates, it's better to just return the territory to them.

Unfortunately, the anticipated buffer zone failed to materialize, and Whitebeard's deterrent power was further amplified after he demonstrated such strength.

However, recognizing the formidable strength of the Night Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates will not engage in conflict with them, as long as the Night Pirates do not launch an attack first.

The Night Pirates wouldn't just sit idly by the territory they ceded; they left spies there to develop their power.

The Whitebeard Pirates couldn't possibly manage such a large territory, especially the edges, where their control was very limited.

Whitebeard will grow old eventually. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates have a successor, they will have to give up at least half of their vast territory. Teach will naturally not let go of such a huge benefit, and the Night Pirates should also make preparations for this in advance.

They're slowly infiltrating, especially since these territories have been occupied by the Night Pirates for quite some time now.

Teach also gained a lot.

More importantly, every member of the Night Pirates was genuinely excited and thrilled.

Because Teach officially became emperor, becoming the fifth Sea Emperor of this ocean.

There is no doubt about it. The power that Teach displayed in this battle completely proved that he definitely has the strength to become an emperor.

Combined with the formidable power of the Night Pirates prestige surpassed that of the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and even the Whitebeard Pirates.

If Whitebeard hadn't displayed such terrifying power...

Although this battle has ended, the turmoil it has brought is only just beginning, sweeping across the world like a terrifying storm.

Although their battle lasted only five days, the shock it brought and the power it displayed completely surpassed the battle between Kaido and Oden.

Although most people did not see the specific details of the battle, the effects it produced left a deep impression on everyone.

The darkness that devours the world, the Star of Ruin, the Dark Sun.

A torn space.

The most intense collisions are unforgettable.

At the same time, they were also hoping that the battle footage edited by the World Economic News would allow them to see the battle more clearly.

Everyone knows the outcome of this great battle: the Dark Emperor lost, but he was not truly defeated.

Facing such a terrifying Whitebeard, defeat is still honorable!

And the Dark Emperor, through this battle, completely defended his throne as emperor.

Journalists and media outlets around the world have long been mobilized to write extensively about this earth-shattering battle.

The efficiency was astonishing. The five days of the battle were more than enough for them. Not long after the battle ended, all sorts of newspapers about the battle were already produced and undoubtedly occupied the front page.

They began distributing the newspapers worldwide, using News Bird to quickly deliver them around the globe while they were being printed.

"The Dark Emperor battles Whitebeard and is crowned Emperor!"

"The fifth Sea Emperor! The Darkness that devours the world!"

"The power to tear through space, to defend the title of the World's Strongest!"

This epic battle is destined to be recorded in history and passed down across this sea.

A clash between the "legend" and the "new emperor".

This battle also had a significant impact on the other Sea Emperor.

The Babarossa Kingdom.

Kaido had lost all interest in drinking.

Not to mention the rising star, Dark Emperor, he has completely caught up and reached the world's top level in all aspects. Moreover, Dark Emperor is only twenty-seven years old now and has the potential to continue to improve.

Whitebeard's demonstrated strength proved that his Immortal Body was not invincible, and that Whitebeard possessed the power to kill him.

Kaido is no longer basking in the joy of his growing power; he has developed a sense of urgency. Not only must his pirate crew be strengthened, but he himself must also continue to increase his strength.

Kaido is the Sea Emperor, and he is arrogant. Not only was he surpassed by a newcomer, but there was also such a huge gap between him and Whitebeard. How could he tolerate this?

"Governor, are we going to cede our territory?" Krell asked tentatively, still deeply shaken by the battle between the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard.

Kaido's expression was solemn, leaving one wondering what he was thinking.

"Hmph! Why should I let him have his way? Whitebeard won't interfere in a fight between juniors." Kaido sneered. "But a fight is necessary. I'm going to find him and cause him trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido left the palace, transformed into a blue dragon, and flew into the sky, heading towards the Whitebeard Sea.

Kaido wants to become stronger, even stronger; the sense of urgency in his heart fuels his desire to grow stronger.

Only by fighting those stronger than oneself can one become stronger faster, and Whitebeard can give him that kind of pressure, which is how he can become stronger!

While Whitebeard possessed the power to kill him, it didn't mean Whitebeard could actually kill him.

In Totto Land of the Whole Cake Island, Big Mom crushed the armrest of the throne. Witnessing this battle, she was completely devastated, and the joy she felt after the tea party vanished entirely.

She gained a powerful Homie, "Earth Cassius," who possesses the ability to control the earth and gravity, and also has terrifying defensive capabilities, greatly increasing her strength.

Whitebeard's power still instilled in her a deep-seated fear.

He exuded a terrifying aura, his face was horribly gloomy, and all of Big Mom's children present, except for Katakuri, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Mommy!" Big Mom's smile suddenly appeared on her face. Compared to their angry mother, Big Mom's smile at this moment terrified them even more. Their bodies trembled and they dared not look at Big Mom.

Big Mom turned her gaze to her second son, "Katakuri, from now on, after dessert every day, you'll train with me."

After saying that, Big Mom stood up and left. She was tired after watching the battle for so long and needed to get a good night's sleep.

Big Mom's figure gradually disappeared, while her children, who were standing there, were all stunned.

"Brother, what did Mom mean?" Cracker looked at Katakuri with a puzzled expression, as did the others.

Katakuri, meanwhile, frowned in thought, his expression noticeably different from his usual calm. He seemed somewhat incredulous, and his tone was uncertain. "Big... he probably wants to increase his strength through training."

"Huh!!"

"How is that possible?"

When Katakuri said that, no one else could believe it; their mouths were agape, and their eyes almost popped out.

They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Their mother had never seen her exercise since birth; it had always been that way.

But since Katakuri said that, he must have his reasons.

"They must have felt the pressure from the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard, and don't want to fall too far behind," Smoker said seriously after calming down and thinking carefully.

Upon hearing this, the others realized what was happening. The thought of the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard's terrifying strength filled them with fear and unease.

Neither Whitebeard nor the Dark Emperor's terrifying techniques could withstand them, let alone resist them.

"That's fine too."

With such formidable opponents these days, the stronger their mother is, the more at ease they feel.

"Let's go together then. I can't hold out against Mom for long on my own," Katakuri seriously. The reason Mom singled Katakuri was because he was the only one in the entire Big Mom Pirates who could fight her.

Everyone else would be instantly killed, without a doubt. They knew how terrifying their mother was; her indestructible body and terrifying strength alone were enough to place her among the world's top experts.

Moreover, Big Mom possesses powerful Homie, which allow Homie to manipulate the weather, making her a true monster and earning her the title of "Weather Queen."

"Oh no, that won't do!"

They instinctively wanted to refuse; deep down, they were afraid of their mother and didn't dare to lay a hand on her.

"It's alright, more people will be more effective. If we're not strong enough, that's fine," Katakuri said. They had considered this as well. Facing their mother's immense pressure, they would grow faster. "If Mom has to become stronger, we can't fall behind."

Moreover, an agreement has been signed in the Chaos Sea, and there is no war. Big Mom's Seas is located in the northern part of the New World, near the front of the New World. A few islands to the east are the territory of the Flying Pirates. They do not want to clash with the Flying Pirates, so they have not expanded.

With numerous warlords vying for power to the south, the only option was to expand westward, towards the front of the New World.

The power dynamics are now largely settled, Big Mom Pirates have few opportunities to fight and grow stronger. The most chaotic period in the New World has passed.

Katakuri said this, and the others agreed; in reality, there were very few people who could fight alongside Katakuri.

Before any of the Sweet Commander have appeared, the seven who can be considered powerful fighters are the eldest son Perospero, the second son Katakuri, the third son Daifuku, the fourth son Oven, the tenth son Cracker, the eldest daughter Compote, and the fourteenth daughter Smoker who is beginning to grow up.

While there were others with considerable strength, they were merely there to make up the numbers in a battle of this level.

Even among them, apart from Katakuri who was the main attacker, the other six could only provide support.

Although the eldest daughter, Compote, is not well-known, she is one of the monsters of the Big Mom Pirates.

Snack, one of the future Sweet Commanders, is still relatively young and has not yet matured.

Just as they guessed, Big Mom also felt threatened; after all, she was the "Queen of the Sea"! How could she fall behind?

Therefore, after watching the great battle between the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard, the idea of training to become stronger arose in her mind for the first time.

This was unprecedented; she was a born monster, a "Natural Destroyer," who destroyed the village of Elbaf at the age of five and was called an "evil god" by the Giant race!

Even though he eats and drinks every day, he naturally becomes stronger as he gets older, and he became a member of the Rocks Pirates.

She possesses terrifying aptitude, easily mastering abilities like Haki. Rocks marked a period of rapid growth in her strength, due to her extensive combat experience.

After the Rocks disbanded, Big Mom didn't fight much, staying in Totto Land, where her strength continued to grow. Even Roger had to steal the rubbing of the Road Sign Stone, showing that he didn't want to face Big Mom directly, which is enough to demonstrate how terrifying her strength was.

Big Mom needs to get serious. Realizing that she's a "Natural Destroyer" who needs to become stronger only makes her more terrifying.

Previously, Big Mom felt little pressure, but now she feels immense pressure, which naturally motivates her.

"As expected of Newgate! That brat Teach isn't bad either." In the empty palace, Golden Lion Shiki spread his arms and laughed excitedly.

"But soon, a grand fireworks display will make you, the world, realize whose era this truly is! Hehehehe!"

During this period, the Flying Pirates were somewhat quiet, but they were all preparing for a world-shaking operation.

"Is Weil alright?" Shiki asked, calming down and looking at Rhine.

"Yes! We've been heavily guarded and have protected it very well. However, the Sky Kingdom has seen an increase in spies from the World Government and the Navy. Although we've caught some, there are still a large number of spies hiding." Rhine nodded, frowning with some worry.

"They're probably after the Pure Gold, and they may have also discovered Weil's existence. Our plan hasn't been exposed yet, but Weil is no longer safe."

Few people know about the Flying Pirates' grand plan, but many members of the Flying Pirates are aware of their major actions against Weil.

Naturally, this would be known to other forces, especially the navy and the World Government that were closely monitoring them.

They realized that the Flying Pirates were hiding a huge conspiracy, so they kept sending spies.

"Then transfer Weil. Anyway, the SIQ research will be successful soon, and we'll give them a big surprise then." Shiki was very satisfied with the SIQ research and had gathered a large number of scientists and researchers.

However, they discovered that several years ago, well-known scientists frequently disappeared; someone had been collecting information on scientists, especially top-tier, renowned ones.

If it weren't for this, the Flying Pirates might have already successfully completed their research on SIQ.

Bullet unleashed a powerful battle intent, putting immense pressure on Hott, who was standing nearby, rendering him unable to move.

Fortunately, Bullet quickly suppressed his fighting spirit.

"I didn't expect that, those two guys." Bullet said excitedly, his eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit, as if he wanted to fight Whitebeard and Dark Emperor right away.

"Should we change targets? Both the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard are incredibly powerful, and Whitebeard's power..." Hott asked, not finishing his sentence, but Bullet understood his meaning.

Whitebeard's Awakening power was so terrifying that even Bullet and Hott believed they were no match for him; this was a judgment he made based on his intuition and reason.

"The plan remains unchanged, but after this operation, I will also challenge Whitebeard. Roger is not so easy to surpass! Isn't it better to have a stronger enemy? Hahaha!"

Bullet needs a goal, and the stronger his opponent, the happier he is. What he fears most is having no goal. That's why Roger became his obsession, because Roger died before he could surpass Roger.

Since he's no match for them now, he'll continue to grow stronger; he still has time.

"Then let's move in half a month. By then, the sea should be calmer, and even the raw materials for so much explosive will take time to get through our channels," Hott said.

"Well, let's wait and see." Bullet naturally hoped the plan would succeed, allowing him to better enjoy the war.

Meanwhile, at the Marine Headquarters, a serious meeting has been held regarding this battle.

Everyone's expression was extremely solemn. Whether it was Whitebeard or the Dark Emperor, the power they displayed was terrifying to the extreme, making it almost impossible for them to breathe, especially Whitebeard.

Even Garp wasn't acting as carefree as usual.

"Whitebeard and the Dark Emperor pose a great threat, but given Whitebeard's personality, the Dark Emperor is a greater threat."

"He's too young, and his growth rate is too fast. The Dark-Dark Fruit has already Awakening; he's only been eating it for less than nine years."

All three Logia Admiral were present. Kuzan and Sakazuki looked solemn, and Borsalino also seemed serious, though a strange light flickered in his eyes, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

They were well aware of how difficult it was to Awakening Logia Devil Fruit, surpassing the vast majority of Devil Fruit. They were currently stuck at the Awakening bottleneck and didn't even have a clue how to do it. Yet Teach had Awakening the Dark-Dark Fruit in just nine years.

"Moreover, the Night Pirates have only been established for ten years, yet they have already reached such a terrifying level. The Dark Emperor has become an emperor, and he is only twenty-seven years old. His potential has not yet reached its limit!"

This is what makes Teach so terrifying; his threat actually surpasses that of Whitebeard. Given Whitebeard's personality, he wouldn't pose a significant threat to them.

And the Dark Emperor, like the Golden Lion, is ambitious.

The overall strength of the Night Pirates terrified them; it was hard to believe that this was a pirate crew that had only been established for ten years.

Both Whitebeard and the Dark Emperor became the focus of their attention, given the terrifying power they displayed.

Who can guarantee that Whitebeard won't do something irrational and terrible? Even the World Government wouldn't feel at ease.

"Furthermore, although the Night Pirates haven't imposed a blockade and are relatively open, they've built Night Pirates around it. A large number of our intelligence personnel disappeared recently." Tsuru spoke up; they all understood what disappearances meant.

"A large number of mechanical creatures have appeared throughout the Night Sea Domain, specifically mechanical dogs, mechanical birds, and mechanical eyes. It's possible that there are also mechanical creatures in the sea. They are monitoring everything in the Night Sea Domain, so the Night Pirates will be able to know immediately if anything happens."

"The technology used should be related to that robotic arm."

The crane took out several photos of mechanical creatures.

The mechanical eyes placed in the corner, four red-eyed mechanical dogs, patrolled in all directions without blind spots, monitoring everything around them.

The mechanical bird in the sky is also clearly visible.

There may also be unknown mechanical creatures in the sea.

"With these mechanical creatures, the entire Night Sea Domain is completely controlled by the Night Pirates. According to Vegapunk, these mechanical creatures have no intelligence and are controlled by humans just like mechanical arms."

"Given the Night Pirates' technology, there's a possibility they also possess powerful mechanical creatures capable of causing significant destruction, further increasing the overall threat posed by the Night Pirates."

"Although we haven't obtained any intelligence yet, the key lies with Otto, the scientist and executive of the Night Pirates. We need to keep an eye on him."

The crane's expression was solemn and serious.

"Finally, I want to say that the threat posed by the Night Pirates is approaching that of the Flying Pirates, and may even be on par with Flying Pirates. Their methods are far beyond what ordinary pirates can match, and their threat will only increase in the future."

The greatest threat to the World Government and the Navy right now is the Flying Pirates, who are not only powerful but also brewing a terrible conspiracy.

Even now, they still don't believe that the Night Pirates have surpassed the Flying Pirates, but Tsuru has fully realized the threat posed by the Night Pirates, and so have the others.

The Night Pirates possess formidable technological prowess, unmatched by any previous pirate crew. Through Night Pirates, they have created a vast network spanning the entire ocean, much like the Homie of the Big Mom Pirates.

By the time they realized it, it was too late.

"Pay closer attention. Also, the bounties for the Whitebeard Pirates and the Night Pirates should be increased!" Sengoku finally set the tone. They didn't want to get involved in the New World for the time being, but they wouldn't slack off in terms of intelligence.

The greater the threat, the more attention it deserves.

Soon, the bounties for Whitebeard and the Dark Lord were determined, and the figures were absolutely astonishing.

Whitebeard's bounty hasn't increased for many years, but the power he displayed in this battle has made him an even greater threat, and his bounty should be raised.

"Whitebeard Edward Newgate, 5.387 billion." His bounty has increased by a full 341 million Beli, bringing him right up to the 5.5 billion bounty of Pirate King Roger.

"Dark Emperor Marshall D. Teach, 4,032 million." He officially reached the terrifying figure of 4 billion Beli. Although he failed to surpass Big Mom and Kaido, he has still entered the 4 billion mark.

It's worth mentioning that Teach's previous bounty was 3.2 billion Beli, which increased after the Golden Sea Battle. His achievements were astonishing, and he almost killed the Commander-in-Chief of the entire fleet, Kong.

The fact that Teach's wealth increased by 800 million Beli in one go is enough to show how much of a threat Teach to the world in the eyes of the Navy World Government.

And their bounty quickly spread throughout the world.
