The Black Group and the Cross Guild Alliance
Thus, after a painful decision by Whitey Bay, the Whitebeard Pirates were forced to leave Sphinx Island and become a wandering, great pirate crew.
Just like the Roger Pirates back then.
The Whitebeard Pirates are currently no match for the Blackbeard Pirates and can only temporarily avoid a direct confrontation.
Ace needs more time to grow.
Blackbeard Teach hadn't expected that the Whitebeard Pirates would back down before they even had a chance to make a move.
The leaders on those islands have already received a notification from the Whitebeard Pirates.
If the Blackbeard Pirates and the Cross Guild invade, they can surrender immediately and take down the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.
However, the Blackbeard Pirates, controlled by Wang Shi, clearly did not pay much attention to the dozen or so islands of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They are working with the Cross Guild, keeping a close eye on the Wano Country battlefield.
Be prepared to take a big bite out of the World Government in this war.
The Whitebeard Pirates' deliberate retreat was clearly due to excessive consideration out of fear.
Of course, once the Blackbeard Pirates have free time, they will indeed try to seize a powerful territory befitting a Four Emperors of the Sea).
They might even seize some territory from the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
···
On the island ship of the Cross Guild, the Guloseadi.
Two powerful figures clashed fiercely.
The duel between the cursed prince Loki and the Devil's Descendant Bullet sent chills down everyone's spines.
The Avalo Pizarro Buffalo, with his Devil Fruit User, and Guyram, with his Cube-Cube Devil Fruit User, are desperately protecting the Guloseadi, fearing that these two monsters will destroy their territory.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad! You're qualified to be our ally!"
Loki, carrying Iron Thunder Ragnier, laughed and acknowledged Bullet's strength.
Bullet hadn't expected that this giant's Conqueror's Haki was so skillful and powerful, even surpassing his own.
"You are also qualified to be my opponent!"
Bullet's voice was cold, but he also acknowledged Loki as a powerful figure.
With the two powerful leaders ceasing hostilities, the Guloseadi quickly returned to its lively state.
"Hahaha, another terrifying monster!"
The Avalo Pizarro revealed himself aboard the island ship and joined the alliance's celebration.
"Hahaha! I've become one of the Four Emperors!" Blackbeard Teach laughed maniacally, holding a newspaper.
"But! Why did it fall just short of 4 billion Belly?!"
Blackbeard Teach was a little annoyed; of the current Four Emperors, he had the lowest bounty.
The highest-ranking Yonko is still Crocodile, Four Emperors.
The World Government and the Marine Headquarters haven't updated Beast Kaido's bounty yet.
It seems they still want to use the Sand Crocodile to annoy this blue Azure Dragon.
"My bounty is only 3 billion Belly, so much less than Teach's. How come that's the case?"
Loki was very unhappy that his Teach was so much lower than Teach's; he felt he was strong enough to easily defeat Teach.
He didn't know that in the open ocean, the boss of a powerful faction was far more dangerous, with a bounty on his head, and it wasn't all about strength.
"Lulu, you think 3 billion Belly is too low? You should know that our Cross Guild only offers a 3 billion Belly for Marine Admiral."
Vasco Shot with the Vasco Shot, took a big gulp of wine and spoke excitedly.
Through Crocodile's planning, reverse bounties for the World Government's powerful figures and naval commanders were finally released to the world.
Fleet Admiral Akainu Sakazuki: 5 billion Belly; the Three Admirals: 3 billion Belly; the vice Vice Admiral: 500 million Belly; and the rear Rear Admiral: 300 million Belly.
The World Government's Five Elders: 3.5 billion Belly; Figarland and his two sons: 4 billion Belly; the other Holy Knight: 2.5 billion Belly; CP0 agents: 500 million Belly.
Crocodile, the guild master of the Cross Guild, was shocked to see the World Government using his bounty to provoke Beast Kaido.
He didn't hesitate to retaliate.
The bounty for the Fleet Admiral was specifically set much higher than that for his Celestial Dragons masters, such as the Five Elders and the Holy Knight.
Even the Figarland family of three had trampled the Five Elders underfoot.
"Not enough! That Red-Haired Shanks has 4 billion Belly!"
"I'm determined to surpass him!"
With Blackbeard Teach's bounty so high, Loki no longer bothered to compare himself to Teach.
His goal is higher; he wants to surpass that Red-Haired Shanks.
Bullet, whose bounty was still 2.5 billion Belly, looked even uglier; where had his bounty gotten in the rankings?
"Hahaha! Relax! This battle for Pluton is your chance to show your might!"
"If we can take down the Holy Knight and the Five Elders, those wealthy Celestial Dragons might raise our bounty to 5 billion, or even 10 billion Belly!"
Blackbeard Teach ate meat and drank wine with gusto, laughing maniacally. Even his voice contained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, causing the entire Guloseadi to tremble.
"Hahaha, if Wang Shi is not mistaken, my power is already enough to kill those monsters."
Thick black and red Inazuma erupted from Loki's Iron Thunder Ragnaros, a power that had been amplified by the Conqueror's Haki he unleashed when he personally killed his father Harald.
Bullet, who had already mastered the basics of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, also had his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
This war in Wano Country marked the beginning of his full rise to power.
The Three Admirals, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, and even the legendary King of the World could all appear.
This war, which brings together almost all the world's top experts, is the ultimate battle he has been longing for.
"Hahaha, let's fight to the death! Kill those old codgers! This world belongs to the victors!"
Blackbeard Teach grinned, his dark aura growing even more solid.
"This time, I'm going to smash Red-Haired Shanks to death!"
Loki always remembered Red-Haired Shanks, that bastard who led a group in a fight and won unfairly.
The alliance between these two newly appointed Four Emperors pirate crews has brought an even greater sense of pressure to the New World, where storms are brewing.
The Blackbeard Pirates 'War King and the Cross Guild's Guloseadi were sailing in the waters between Wano Country, Elbaf, and Egghead.
It seems like they're covering something up, preparing for something, guarding against something...
···
While the World Government focused almost entirely on Pluton, the god of the underworld, and Sun God Nika.
Kuma, Wang Shi, and Blueno have arrived at Egghead.
The three of them entered Blueno's Door-Door Fruit space directly outside the island, ignoring the protective shield, and quietly entered the heavily guarded Egghead.
However, Egghead is filled with Surveillance Den Den Mushi and eavesdropping Den Den Mushi deployed by [Scientific Defense War God] Saint Saturn.
To meet Vegapunk and complete the highest level of invisibility settings for Seraphim, it is necessary to deal with these Den Den Mushi.
Furthermore, York, Vegapunk's desire-driven alter ego, could also betray him.
We must avoid this clone.
Upon learning that the Wang Shi was coming, Vegapunk returned to his specially prepared room.
Not only was Saint Saturn unable to monitor this place, but even his six clones were unaware of it.
After all, if Wang Shi were exposed, both he and Wang Shi would face the World Government's full-scale annihilation.
Vegapunk didn't know why Wang Shi was so confident that he could come here without anyone noticing.
He could only trust the emperor of the World's Strongest empire.
