"In just one year, they've gained the backing of four nations."
"The Alabasta Kingdom, the Vinsmoke Family, Elbaf, and Fish-Man Island!"
"I'm sure you're all familiar with them."
Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, tipped his hat down slightly and smiled. "Except for the Alabasta Kingdom, they're all first-rate powers."
"The Vinsmoke Family and Elbaf, in particular, rank among the strongest military powers."
Terry Gild Teo narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly.
He glanced at Sabo. "The Alabasta Kingdom isn't the country it was under Crocodile's rule anymore."

Inazuma curled his lip. "They've been at sea for less than a year, and they've already won the support of four nations."
"No wonder everyone's saying Chris might become the fifth Sea Emperor!"
"Give him a few more years, and his power could be even more terrifying."
Koala exclaimed, "Even Elbaf has joined the Chris Pirates' camp? I never saw that coming."
"That's the strongest nation in the world. Even the Four Emperors Pirates tried to win it over and failed."

Hack shook his head and sighed. "Maybe we shouldn't call Chris a newcomer."
"Nothing he's shown us is what you'd expect from one."
"Sometimes I wonder if he's some old monster in disguise!"
Terry Gild Teo couldn't help laughing. "If you only heard about his accomplishments,"
"you'd think he was a man in his forties at least."
"But Chris is only nineteen."
