The New World.
The emperors of the Underworld learned that the Goa Empire had planted its flag on Silver Island in the New World.
They did not immediately congratulate or curry favor with Wang Shi.
They are waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates' reaction or retaliation, as well as the attitude of the other Four Emperors.
Would the Four Emperors' pirate crews allow the Goa Empire, the World's Strongest Affiliated Nation, to establish a foothold on Silver Island?
Silver Island is located closer to the middle of the New World than Dressrosa.
It is closer to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
If Whitebeard of the Four Emperors, were to avenge his sons, Silver Island would have no chance of survival given the invincible power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
During this tense period, they dared not get involved in the conflict Whitebeard Pirates and the Goa Empire.
Soon, three days had passed since the Silver Island War began.
The Whitebeard Pirates haven't even retaliated against Silver Island yet.
This brought the New World, which had been quiet for several days, back to normal amidst a tense atmosphere.
The Beasts Pirates did not cross the territories of the Big Mom Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates to go to the early New World to stand up for Jack the Drought.
After all, Jack the Drought didn't suffer much loss.
The fact that the Whitebeard Pirates were able to endure it has puzzled and confused countless forces.
Wang Shi made the Whitebeard Pirates lose so much face, shouldn't Whitebeard retaliate?
Is this still the same domineering and protective World's Strongest Man?
···
In fact, if it weren't for Thatch's interference, an angry Whitebeard would have personally stepped in to stand up for his sons.
In particular, he stood up for the wandering knight Dorma, who had lost a hand.
When has the Whitebeard Pirates ever suffered such a great loss?
But Thatch honestly stated the terms of his 'deal' with the Wang Shi.
This 'deal,' which was almost a concession, made a group of proud division commanders and subordinate captains feel that Thatch had disgraced the Whitebeard Pirates.
He harbored strong resentment towards Thatch.
But when Whitebeard learned of this, he felt that Thatch had done the right thing.
Between saving face and his life, he wanted to see all his sons return safely.
After pondering for a while, Whitebeard acknowledged the deal between Thatch and Wang Shi, and decided not to retaliate against the Goa Empire.
He couldn't let his son, Thatch, become a man of broken promises.
Whitebeard could only appease and compensate the one-handed Ranger Dorma.
But the quiet surrounding this incident seems to have revealed to many forces the old age and weakness of the Whitebeard.
The intimidating power of this World's Strongest Man began to decline silently.

Within the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders were very dissatisfied with Wang Shi's decision to wage war against the Four Emperors.
However, the achievements and strength displayed by the Goa Empire did indeed surprise them.
The strength of the three Marquess completely exceeded the estimates of the Cipher Pol and the Five Elders.
Aramaki and Ichisho are more than just CP0 agents; they're definitely at the level of the Three Disasters, or even stronger.
He might even have reached the threshold for Marine Admiral.
This made the Five Elders pay even more attention to Wang Shi, Aramaki, and Yi Xiao.
If Wang Shi were a little stronger, perhaps he could have been introduced to Lord Imu.
If we gain Imu's approval, what's wrong with making Wang Shi Celestial Dragons and Holy Knight?
Then the World Government could take over everything from the Wang Shi.
They brought the Three Dukes and the underworld forces of the Four Blues into their own hands.
If Wang Shi could establish himself in the New World now, that would be perfect.
When the Wang Shi, Doflamingo will have more say in the underground dark forces, plus Stussy, the CP0 spy and Queen of the Pleasure District.
That World Government might be able to indirectly influence and control the Underworld.
The Four Emperors are even less likely to cause any trouble.
What, the World's Strongest Man? What, the Strongest Creature on land, sea, and air...?
They will all be trapped in an invisible net, unable to move in the latter part of the New World.
The World Government might even be able to interfere with Wano Country's arms sales or the Whitebeard Pirates' procurement of medical supplies...

On Silver Island.
The former members of the Silver Alliance spent these few days filled with fear and anxiety.
Even with the Goa Empire in their presence, they were still afraid.
After all, they might face retaliation from the Whitebeard Pirates, the World's Strongest.
Wang Shi had already stated that the Whitebeard Pirates would not retaliate, but they were still afraid.
A few days later, they finally believed Wang Shi's words.
The Silver Alliance has now become the Silver Guard under the Goa Empire.
Peseta and Abelon, the second and third leaders of the Silver Alliance, have both become vice-captains of the Silver Guard.
Silver Island has recovered considerably during the three-day reconstruction.
A smile leveled the land and dismantled floating ruins and collapsed mines; Aramaki gave rise to forests, and numerous wooden houses were built...
The flag of the Goa Empire flies atop the Silver Mine.
The flags of the Goa Empire stand tall in Silver Harbor and on various buildings.
The Goa Empire has officially established itself in its first stronghold in the New World.
Giant gun emplacements appeared in the port.
These giant cannons look similar to the 'Ultimate Killing Weapon - King Cannon' on Clockwork Island.
This is a new type of cannon created by combining Clockwork Island's mechanical technology and Germa's technology.
It is now being mass-produced in the Goa Empire, and even incorporates some rare metals synthesized by Wapol.
These giant cannons have already been deployed in large numbers in Goa Imperial City and Royal Port.
It is extremely effective against pirate ships.

"Does Your Majesty intend to turn Silver Island into a war fortress?"
Bill stared in awe at the drastically changed Silver Island.
The Goa Empire truly lives up to its reputation as the World's Strongest Affiliated Nation. Whether it's the strength and capabilities of its Three Dukes or its technological prowess, it's all incredibly powerful.
These giant gun emplacements are even Yamato and more powerful than the cannons of the G-1 Marine Fortress in the New World.
"Then Silver Island will be called Silver Fortress."
"Speaking of which, Yixiao's gravity ability and Aramaki's forest ability are truly excellent for building fortresses."
Wang Shi stood atop the port fortress, responding to Bill's shock with a faint smile.
At the same time, we applaud the solidified mountain created by turning the ruins into a tangible landscape.
This solid mountain standing tall in the harbor, with rooms and gun emplacements carved out by Aramaki vines, is a formidable fortress of mountain-like strength.
"Your Majesty, please don't ask me to do such arduous work as building fortresses in the future."
Aramaki began to complain wearily, saying that building this fortress had almost exhausted him.
It was even more tiring than fighting Fire Fist Ace.
That bastard Yixiao created a huge mountain, and now he has to clear the rest. That's too much work.
"You've worked hard. I'll bestow another title upon you later as a reward for building our first fortress in the New World."
Wang Shi knew what Aramaki wanted, so he decided to satisfy Aramaki's vanity.
"Hehe, Your Majesty understands me best."
"Spaden is the Fist of Goa, Bartolomeo is the Shield of Goa, so how about I get the title of Spear of Goa?"
Aramaki grinned. He liked to have a lot of nicknames and titles, which sounded very imposing.
You should know that Bartolomeo's self-introduction has even more prefixes than Aramaki's, which makes Aramaki want to learn this extremely good way of showing off.
