In this war, the World Government was the biggest loser apart from the Monster Legion.
The Big Mom Pirates came next.
Charlotte Linlin had lost her eldest son and a powerful ally in the Monster Legion.
Without the Monster Legion to keep others at bay, competition for the vast waters south of the Big Mom Pirates' territory would grow fiercer. It might even spill into the territory they already held.
Fortunately, the Big Mom Pirates were no longer the ragtag crew they had once been.
Many of Linlin's gifted children had grown up.
After years out of the spotlight, the Big Mom Pirates had lost the Monster Legion as their shield. It was time for them to show their fangs.
The Flying Pirates had only shown up to make an appearance. Their sole achievement was destroying Uranus, an Ancient Weapon, and depriving the World Government of a trump card.
The Monster Legion's destruction affected the Flying Pirates too.
Of course, Kaido gained the most.
He had partly repaid his debt to Linlin and gained a powerful fighter in Crute, the "Pighead Emperor."
But that debt could never be repaid in full. How could he ever repay Linlin for giving him the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon?
The Beasts Pirates had grown stronger overall. That was an undeniable fact.
After returning to the Barbarossa Kingdom, Kaido even smiled as he drank.
Still, it would take time for Crute to fully settle in with the Beasts Pirates.
At Monster Paradise, Crute had spent most of his time in Jura Forest. The Monster Legion called on him when it needed him.
In the Barbarossa Kingdom, he would have far more contact with the members of the Beasts Pirates.
He needed time to learn and adapt.
And to become more human.
