New World Order, Four Emperors Stand Tall
"Fish-Men Fisher Tiger invaded Mary Geoise, freed countless slaves, and formed the Sun Pirates. His crimes are heinous, and a bounty of one hundred million is offered for his life."
"Tyrant Kuma"
"Red-Haired Shanks"
News of the news spread far and wide. Countless races around the world looked at the newspapers in their hands, all in disbelief. Fang Yetan, after his initial shock, let out a vicious sigh.
In particular, the Sun Pirates Fisher Tiger freeing slaves made headlines.
The World Government's inaction only fueled the ocean's unrest, as the World Government, provoked, failed to retaliate—a profound irony.
As a result, some pirates who couldn't see the situation clearly set sail to kill, plunder, and pillage, causing the number of pirates to double again.
The Sabaody Archipelago is much more lively than before.
"The Sun Pirates, that big-mouthed fish, is he that awesome?"
Numbers 40 to 49, in the tourist area and souvenir shops, in a coffee shop, a rabbit is chewing on pizza while reading a newspaper.
Across from the rabbit, Ye Chen was also looking at the latest news report.
Hearing Bai Doudou call him Big Mouth Fish, Ye Chen didn't react at all. Because Tiger had a big mouth, Bai Doudou always called him Big Mouth Fish.
"Four Emperors Stand in a Tripartite Balance"
Ye Chen is not like Bai Doudou, who can be judged by appearances alone.
On the day the riot broke out in the Holy Land, miraculously, many overlords of the New World appeared on the edge of the Red Line, which was quite strange.
At that time, countless pirates fought each other, but only a few powerful pirate crews stood out!
Ye Chen guessed that it might not be long before Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Red-Haired Shanks would become the Four Emperors and dominate the New World.
And it has already begun. The New World is in chaos, with pirates fighting for territory everywhere. It's a meat grinder, with people dying every moment.
Another force that caught Ye Chen's attention was the Revolutionary Army.
"Brubrubru"
A call came in, and Ye Chen took out Den Den Mushi from his sleeve, answered the call, and placed it on the table, his gaze remaining fixed on the newspaper.
"Hey!" The voice was indifferent, somewhat cold.
"You spent six months on Fish-Man Island, did they participate in this slave emancipation movement?"
On the other end of the phone, Sengoku's voice was very serious.
"I haven't noticed any activity from the Ryugu Palace. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably a plan carried out by Fisher Tiger alone."
Ye Chen flipped through the newspaper, not even glancing at the Den Den Mushi.
Across from him, Sengoku remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Not long ago, King Neptune of Fish-Man Island announced the expulsion of all Fish-Man members from the Sun Pirates founded by Fisher Tiger, but the Five Elders are furious about this riot in the Holy Land."
"Hey, you're not thinking of handing over the Sun Pirates to me, are you? Those Fish-Man aren't easy to deal with at sea. For a mission like this, you should find the right person, like Borsalino."
Ye Chen moved the newspaper aside, looked at the Den Den Mushi, pursed his lips, and directly passed the task to Borsalino.
"Cough!" Sengoku choked for a moment. Indeed, as Ye Chen said, the Fish-Man at sea really had the advantage, especially against Devil Fruit User.
"Since that's the case, then you can clean up some of the marine debris! Once things stabilize a month from now, the Fleet Admiral Kong will be going to Mary Geoise. You've been gone for six months; you need to build up your reputation during this month!"
The Sengoku suddenly changed the subject.
"I see."
"Then that's settled."
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.
"That lewd smile is inappropriate," Bai Doudou said with disdain, eating her pizza and glancing sideways at Ye Chen.
Ignoring Bai Doudou, Ye Chen dialed a Den Den Mushi number.
"Hey!" A cold voice, like a chilling wind, quietly rang out from the other end.
"Any news from Sleepy Ancient Town?"
"No, this town is probably just a rumor."
"It's impossible for it not to exist; keep an eye on it."
"Knew."
The conversation was cold and brief, lasting only a few sentences before both parties hung up the Den Den Mushi. Ye Chen then dialed another number.
Has the Rainbow Mist appeared yet?
"Reporting to you, sir, there is still none."
"You continue your research."
"Yes."
Ye Chen frowned as he hung up the Den Den Mushi once again.
"Breaking News! Breaking News! The Beasts Pirates of the New World have suddenly attacked a Marine branch!"
"Whitebeard's First Division Commander Marco the Phoenix, has attacked a Marine branch."
"The Big Pirates simultaneously attacked the Navy"
The Red-Haired Pirates
"Naval Garp the Hero fought Whitebeard for three nights in a fierce battle. The next day, the Navy retained a few branches in New World and began its withdrawal."
"Black Arm Zephyr fought Kaido for five nights, but the outcome is unknown, and he returned to the Grand Line."
"The leader of the Revolutionary Army of the Grand Line has made his move, Akainu, one of the four great monster Vice Admiral of the Navy, has been severely injured."
Vice Admiral Kizaru pursues the Sun Pirates.
"God Ye Chen Launches Massive Crackdown on Pirates"
Within a month, the entire ocean was in turmoil, and before anyone knew it, the name of the Four Emperors resounded throughout the world.
In Marineford's office, Kong was furious, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru below all looked rather grim.
If you look closely, you'll notice that Garp and Zephyr are still wrapped in bandages.
"The Four Emperors, what a bunch of Four Emperors, daring to take action against the Navy!" It was shocking. One after another, the Navy's branches in the New World were destroyed, which greatly reduced the Navy's prestige in the New World, and at one point it was almost squeezed out of the New World.
The New World at this moment is like a storm, with four powerful pirate crews stirring up everything.
The Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates —Ku had no concerns about the latter three; what truly troubled him was Whitebeard.
Most importantly, the Revolutionary Army in the Grand Line is now tying down a large portion of the Navy's forces, which has led to a weakening of the New World's naval power.
"Perhaps this isn't a bad thing."
Suddenly, amidst the oppressive atmosphere, He relaxed his brow and smiled.
"The title of Four Emperors is quite impressive. The Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates are the four World's Strongest right now. Once they solidify their position as the Four Emperors, countless pirates will challenge them. And since these four crews will fight each other, a balance will be maintained. We shouldn't stop them; instead, we should give them a push!"
"It's inevitable that the New World will fall into the hands of these pirate crews. Our Navy should be thinking about how to maximize our interests. Besides, the Grand Line and the Four Seas are the most important things. The Five Elders also want us to focus on the Revolutionary Army. Therefore, I think it's not appropriate to invest too many troops into the New World at this time."
Time passed second by second. Crane began to analyze the situation, while Sora, who had been filled with anger, began to relax his brows.
He knew all too well that what those people in the Holy Land wanted was balance.
Meanwhile, a plan called the Shichibukai began to emerge naturally, though no one had yet voiced it; it was only gradually becoming clear due to the prevailing trend.
