What exactly were pirates?
They burned, killed, looted, and committed every kind of evil!
Though following Luffy's perspective made it seem like one long adventure of growth, the vast majority of pirates in this world were vicious criminals.
What would happen when these evildoers gained terrifying powers?
The answer was chaos. This world was incomparably chaotic.
Places controlled by the World Government were slightly better, but not by much.
Pirates looted at random, but the World Government's oppression was constant.
Pirates did not treat you like a person, but would the World Government?
Yet on the surface, the Marines really did represent justice.
"Konoha Country has appeared again?"
Sengoku received the news immediately, and his heart tightened.
Ace had already been sent to Impel Down, and the Marines' forces had all been mobilized.
At such a critical time, would Konoha's sudden appearance bring about some change?
After all, Konoha had demanded a Shichibukai position. If, at this moment, Konoha replaced one of the Shichibukai and joined the World Government, what would happen?
What was currently known was that Konoha had a Mythical Zoan with space abilities that had most likely awakened, a fish-man suspected of controlling the ocean, and an expert with an overpowered gravity fruit and Conqueror's Haki.
All of them were terrifying individuals with enough time to become Four Emperors-level existences!
Even among the Four Emperors, there were strong and weak ones.
Big Mom was certainly among the weaker ones. Red-Hair's Conqueror's Haki and true identity still required verification, and his true strength remained unknown.
The strength of Kaido, the Strongest Creature, was also questionable. Meanwhile, Whitebeard, the strongest man who could even destroy the world, had grown old. Though the current Four Emperors each had their own territories, they were not beyond the Marines' ability to handle.
