Who Made Him the Pirate King!?

With the White Dragon Emperor's words, "The Great Pirate Era has ended."

The live broadcast signal from the Sky Garden's Transponder Snail was abruptly cut off.

This dramatic execution broadcast has now come to an end.

However, the impact and consequences of this execution broadcast to the entire ocean were astonishing and far-reaching.

New World, Neo Marine Headquarters, New Marineford.

The new Neo Marine Headquarters New Marines headquarters gathered together.

On the opposite wall was a projection screen that had been plunged into darkness.

All the New Marines officers present had watched the live broadcast of the execution, which was destined to have a far-reaching impact.

But after the live stream ended, the room remained quiet.

It took a long time before someone spoke.

"That 'Blackbeard Teach' is dead... The Whitebeard Pirates should have been completely wiped out, right?"

This statement finally caused a slight ripple.

Many of the New Marines commanders, realizing what was happening, chimed in with their opinions.

"Yes, Blackbeard Teach isn't just the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, he's also the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Whitebeard was defeated by the White Dragon Emperor, and the Whitebeard Pirates, along with its more than forty affiliated pirate crews, were completely wiped out..."

"This Emperor Pirates, which almost dominated the New World, is now finally history, hahaha..."

Finally, that dry, forced laughter rang out.

The room fell silent once again.

Every New Marines present knew that the Whitebeard Pirates had become history.

But all the marines present also knew—a super pirate crew far surpassing the Whitebeard Pirates had been born!

Perhaps it shouldn't be called the "Emperor Pirates".

That will be "The Pirate King's Pirate Crew"!

Another Pirate King is about to be born!

Zephyr, seated in the main seat, looked up and clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the other New Marines commanders.

"Regardless, the Whitebeard Pirates have been wiped out by 'White Dragon'."

Zephyr said calmly.

"The BIG MOM Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and now the Whitebeard Pirates... another Emperor Pirates in the New World has been wiped out."

"This is definitely a good thing for us."

Really?

We don't believe it.

Many of the naval officers below had doubts.

Big Mom, Red-Haired, and Whitebeard were defeated.

But an even more terrifying and powerful Pirate Emperor has been born!

Even the former, fully-fledged Navy would not easily start a war with the Pirate Emperor.

How can the New Marines face the White Dragon Emperor of Totto Land?

Compared to these naval officers, Vice Admiral Momonga was also sitting below, had a much more complicated feeling.

As a familiar face to White Dragon, and the first commander-in-chief of the G-branch base who was personally recruited (or even beaten) into the New Marines by White Dragon, Momonga is quite familiar with White Dragon Emperor's true identity.

It is read as "Pirate Emperor" but written as "Fleet Admiral".

Although he's New Marine Fleet Admiral Candidate, he's still Fleet Admiral!

The Momonga initially didn't believe that the White Dragon Emperor was a Navy spy.

It wasn't until the White Dragon Emperor, along with the two new Admiral, Aokiji Fujitora, completely defeated and captured the Red-Haired Pirates.

Only then did the Momonga believe that the White Dragon Emperor was not the Pirate Emperor.

But after watching the live broadcast of this execution that took place in the Sky Garden today...

The Momonga had very mixed feelings.

Good news: Fleet Admiral White Dragon has decided against becoming the Pirate Emperor!

Bad news: It seems that Fleet Admiral White Dragon is planning to become the Pirate King!

'Professor Zephyr, was this also part of your plan?'

The Momonga raised its eyes and gazed wistfully at the new Fleet Admiral ahead.

Zephyr didn't notice the Momonga's gaze for the moment, and without waiting for the other naval officers to speak, he continued.

"Furthermore, with the Great Pirate Era ended by 'White Dragon,' the situation in the New World and other seas will gradually stabilize, so everyone should prepare in advance."

Upon hearing this, the New Marines commanders, who had been somewhat restless, finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to speak up.

"Zephyr! The White Dragon Emperor! He's going to be the Pirate King!"

"A new Pirate King has appeared! How can the Great Pirate Era end?"

"Won't there be more and more pirates in the future?"

Faced with this overwhelming wave of doubts, Zephyr shook his head, his expression remaining calm.

"Pirates are like ocean waves; sometimes they're high, and sometimes they're low."

Zephyr explained calmly and deliberately.

"Back then, when Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was executed in Loguetown in the East Blue, he used the Great Treasure of the 'Pirate King' to attract a large number of pirates to set sail."

"But now, the White Dragon Emperor has prematurely declared his ownership of the Laugh Tale, Raftel, and the [Pirate King Great Treasure]."

"No one would become a pirate for a treasure they can never have."

In the normal timeline, this occurred after the "Summit War" at Marine Headquarters.

Whitebeard also sacrificed his life to announce to the entire sea that "the Great Treasure is real!"

The already turbulent Great Pirate Era reached its climax because of this!

More and more people are going to sea to become pirates and fight for the Pirate King's treasure!

But what about now?

The One Pirate King Great Treasure is indeed real.

However, all the "ticket fragments" ended up in the hands of the White Dragon Emperor!

It's in the hands of the White Dragon White Dragon Emperor who defeated Whitebeard and was crowned the new "World's Strongest"!

Would anyone choose to wage war against the new "Pirate King" for the "Great Treasure"?

Zephyr thought that even if pirates were stupid, they wouldn't be this stupid.

Just as White Dragon Long mentioned during the execution livestream--

The Great Pirate Era is over!

Zephyr's words managed to barely appease the other marines.

After the naval officers got up and left one by one.

Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora, the three New Marines leaders, went together to the Fleet Admiral's Office.

The three of them had just stepped into the Fleet Admiral's Office.

The newly Fleet Admiral, who had just appeared as composed as a mountain, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Who made him the Pirate King!?"

Aokiji and Fujitora looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Teacher Zephyr ..."

Aokiji scratched his head.

"You seem very angry?"

"Of course! That Vongola Storm guy!"

When Zephyr said this, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.

"I'm still counting on him to take over the New Marines!"

"How can the Pirate King become the new Fleet Admiral?"

What you're saying...

Even Fujitora couldn't stand it anymore.

Just like how Pirate Emperor can become the new Fleet Admiral...

In addition.

Although Zephyr outwardly appeared very angry.

However, Fujitora, who was skilled in Observation Haki, did not sense any anger from Zephyr.

He didn't know how to describe Fleet Admiral Zephyr's feelings at that moment.

Angry? Relieved? Sad? Frustrated?

In short, it's extremely complicated.

"Ahem, Fleet Admiral Zephyr."

Fujitora still remembers that "you have to address people by their job titles when you're working."

"If you don't want to see the White Dragon Fleet Admiral Candidate become the Pirate King, perhaps you could contact him directly and ask him not to go to the Laugh Tale?"

"It's no use, Fujitora, it's no use."

Zephyr shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Whether or not he goes to Raftel, the Laugh Tale, after Storm retrieves those four Road Poneglyph will not affect his becoming the Pirate King."

These words were spoken.

Aokiji and Fujitora fell silent instantly.

How could they not understand this principle?

Zephyr sighed again.

"Who made him the Pirate King...?"

"Who made him the Pirate King!"

The same thing happened at the old Marine Headquarters, the old Marineford.

Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and others also watched the live execution.

As a former Fleet Admiral, Sengoku did indeed possess a wealth of secret intelligence.

For example, he was absolutely certain that the White Dragon Emperor had indeed obtained the "ticket" to the Laugh Tale, Raftel!

The White Dragon Emperor has collected all the Road Poneglyph.

A new Pirate King is destined to be born!

If it were someone else...

Even if it were Beasts Kaido, or Blackbeard Teach, who became the new Pirate King...

Even people in the Sengoku wouldn't have such complicated feelings.

But it had to be the White Dragon Emperor!

That White Dragon Emperor, whose ancestors for three generations were all naval officers!

Whenever Sengoku thought about this incident, he felt so regretful that he felt like he was about to explode.

He's so stupid, really.

I knew that kid Vongola Storm was so amazing.

Why did they let him join the Sword Unit and leave the Navy to become a pirate spy?

When Sengoku thought of this, he couldn't help but think of two other people.

Make Vongola Storm an undercover pirate...

The Recommendation Letter was written by Zephyr.

The person Aokiji personally pulled.

And these two guys have now joined forces to build New Marines!

Hiss...

Sengoku suddenly gasped.

Something's not right! Something's extremely wrong!

Garp and Tsuru looked at Sengoku, who seemed to have suddenly fallen ill, and were somewhat bewildered.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Garp took his right hand, which was covered in senbei powder, and touched Sengoku's forehead, successfully leaving a dirty handprint on his big forehead.

"Sengoku, are you suffering from dementia?"

"You bastard! You're only a year younger than me!"

Sengoku snapped out of his daze and slapped Garp's dog paw away, but didn't notice the handprint on his own forehead for the time being.

"I mean -- this is just my personal guess, and it may not be accurate."

"Hey, do you think that Vongola Storm might also be a member of the New Marines?"

Um?

Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes widened slightly.

Did the Sengoku finally discover this?

"Um--"

Vice Admiral Tsuru was hesitating whether or not to tell Sengoku about the New Marines.

After all, in her view, the New Marines and the Old Marines were just a clash of ideologies, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

If you can.

Vice Admiral Tsuru desperately wanted a peaceful resolution to the conflict between the Old Marines.

If we could just bring Sengoku into the New Marines like this...

Just as Vice Admiral Tsuru was considering this issue.

The Sengoku side then proactively denied his own conjecture.

"Aha! Let's just say I'm really getting senile!"

"Pirate Emperor -- no."

"How could the Pirate King be New Marines?"

First update.

One more chapter is coming, I'll try to finish it before midnight.
