Two days later.
The Big News that a fierce battle had broken out between the Goa Empire's One Emperor and Three Dukes and the Four Emperors, Beast Kaido, spread throughout the world.
The news reports that Beast Kaido was defeated by the One Emperor and Three Dukes.
It was later revealed that Wang Shi the Emperor of Exile was killed, he was injured in the heart by Beast Kaido, leaving him with a lifelong hidden injury.
Even photos of Wang Shi's severe injuries were released.
On the Moby Dick.
"Haha, that arrogant guy Wang Shi has finally suffered a great loss! He actually dared to provoke Beast Kaido!"
"Serves you right for having a lifelong hidden heart injury!"
"The Three Dukes were actually able to repel Beast Kaido?"
"Did Aramaki and Ikko not use their full strength when they fought me and Vista?"
···
Many of the division commanders and captains of the Whitebeard Pirates looked gloating.
I heard that the Beasts Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates all arrived in the waters around Kura Island yesterday.
If the people of the Goa Empire hadn't run away quickly, they probably would have been completely wiped out by the great pirates of the New World.
"That brat Kaido won't run away so easily."
Whitebeard looked at the news with a serious expression. If Kaido hadn't sensed any danger of death, that brute would never have run away.
The fact that Beast Kaido would voluntarily withdraw means that the Goa Empire indeed has the strength to defeat Kaido.
Was Wang Shi really injured?
He felt that Wang Shi's Exile Ability was somewhat familiar.
Moreover, with the protection of the Three Dukes, how could Wang Shi be Kaido?
"Hehe, I wonder if the Beasts Pirates will cause trouble for Silver Island."
Several of the auxiliary captains grinned wickedly.
"Pops, if the Beasts Pirates leave Wano Country to attack Silver Island, why don't we go to Wano Country instead?"
Fire Fist Ace brought up the matter of saving Wano Country again, after all, he had promised Otama and Yamato.
Let's take a look at this first.
Whitebeard didn't believe that Beast Kaido would send his entire crew to retaliate against Silver Island.
If the Goa Empire itself has the strength to kill Kaido, what if they also get support from Akainu is guarding the G1 Fortress?
The entire Beasts Pirates might remain on Silver Island, in the early part of the New World.
Fire Fist Ace and Izo could only sigh inwardly once again.
···
The Big Mom Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates, seeing that Beast Kaido and the Goa Empire did not continue their battle, did not even exchange a glance, but simply looked at them from afar before leaving.
The Red Hair Pirates briefly landed on the half-ruined Kura Island to check the battlefield and gather intelligence on the battle.
The Beasts Pirates' three calamities and six companions are all clamoring for revenge for their leader, launching expeditions to Silver Island and even the Goa Empire in the East Blue.
"An expedition to Silver Island is plausible, but how do we get there from the Goa Empire, which is so far away on the Red Line?"
"Our expeditionary fleet might be intercepted by the navy before we even reach the East Blue!"
Queen the Plague slapped the clamoring Jack the Drought on the head.
These brutes, not a single one of them has a brain.
"Forget it, let's go back first!"
Beast Kaido, his face pale, cursed loudly.
He hadn't suffered such a huge loss in many years!
He lost a lot of blood during this attack.
The Demon Sword of Wang Shi sucks blood, the eerie armor of Wang Shi also sucks blood, and the vines of Aramaki even suck blood.
He was almost completely drained.
Those disgusting bastards.
He remembered this grudge.
Once he recovers, he'll find a chance to get revenge on Wang Shi.
The main force of the Beasts Pirates stormed out and returned in a noisy uproar.
···
Holy Land Mary Geoise, Part 1.
"Wang Shi suffered a severe heart injury, leaving him with a lifelong hidden wound?"
"This intelligence has been confirmed by Stussy and Morgans."
"The Goa Empire went to war with Beast Kaido authorization. Originally, given their strength to defeat Kaido, we could give Wang Shi a chance to become the Holy Knight."
However, he suffered a hidden injury to his heart and was no longer qualified to become Holy Knight.
"Holy Knight have no useless knights!"
"But the Three Dukes are really quite powerful. We still need to appease the Wang Shi and get the Goa Empire to work for us."
"We can continue to use the title of Holy Knight to keep Wang Shi hanging on, giving Wang Shi a glimmer of hope, and ensuring that the One Emperor and Three Dukes serve the World Government."
"Why don't we bypass Wang Shi and directly recruit or conscript the Three Dukes?"
"Then let's give it a try, find a way to secretly contact the Three Dukes..."
···
Inside the Supreme Authority Office, the Five Elders were discussing how to deal with Wang Shi.
At the same time, he ordered Kizaru to go to G1 Fortress to meet up with Akainu, clean up the mess left by Wang Shi, and quell the chaos in the New World.
Fortunately, the battle between Wang Shi and Beast Kaido did not trigger any further chain reactions.
This prevented the Five Elders from continuing to question the Goa Empire.
···
News of the Goa Empire's One Emperor and Three Dukes, as well as Beast Kaido, continued to spread and resonate throughout the world.
This further enhanced the prestige of the Goa Empire.
Previously, they fought fiercely against Whitebeard's fleet and Jack the Drought on Silver Island, and now they are battling Beast Kaido...
After the two major battles, neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Beasts Pirates chose to retaliate against the Goa Empire.
This caused the Goa Empire's strength to soar to a level comparable to that of the Four Emperors.
Its reputation Strongest Nation of the Four Seas in the World's Strongest Affiliated Nation seems poised to replace the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf as the new World's Strongest.
This has triggered a new wave of idol effect and siphon effect.
More and more nobles and merchants from the various Affiliated Nation of the East Blue are moving to the Goa Imperial Capital.
Even the Four-Leaf Province, Organ Province, and Moonlight Province, which are close to the Goa Imperial Capital, have begun to become incredibly prosperous.
Even some merchants and nobles from the South Blue moved to the Goa Empire via the fleet of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce Guild.
Joining the World's Strongest nation, the Goa Empire, has become a new trend.
Following Goa Glory and East Blue Glory, East Blue has a new slogan.
'Lighthouse of the World - Goa Empire'
'Goa people, Goa souls, and Goa are all superior beings!'
···
With the battles on Silver Island and Kura Island in the New World, there is no doubt that the Goa Empire possesses the strength to confront the Four Emperors.
Countless powerful individuals spontaneously initiated the second round of recruitment for the Goa Empire, seeking to the Goa Empire.
I must become Baron of the Goa Empire through my own strength!
Meanwhile, the Exile Emperor had already crossed the Calm Belt and entered the North Blue directly from the New World.
Upon learning that Wang Shi had gone to the North Blue, Doflamingo did not hesitate to bring his subordinates and also entered the North Blue, intending to cooperate with Wang Shi to completely unify the North Blue underworld.
Of course, the fact that One Emperor and Three Dukes were able to defeat Beast Kaido makes it worthwhile for Doflamingo to lower himself and take the initiative to cooperate.
Whether it's profitable or not is irrelevant; what matters is getting on board the Goa Empire's big ship.
The Germa 3 brothers, having received Den Den Mushi from Reiju via Den Den Mushi, immediately led their Snail Fleet to rendezvous.
The underworld forces and major pirate crews of the North Blue heard that One Emperor and Three Dukes had appeared in the North Blue.
The top bosses of those underworld forces all started to panic.
If we continue to resist stubbornly, we might suffer heavy losses like the Flower Kingdom and the Mulberry Kingdom.
Now that the Goa Empire is powerful, it's not impossible for them to reluctantly join the North Blue Underworld Alliance.
Preserving the family's power is the most important thing.
Moreover, with the Four Blues united, they can actually get a share of the profits.
It means we must obey the orders of the Goa Empire.
