In the future New World, the greatest obstacles facing the Black Emperor Pirates would still be the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
The Demon King Pirates had only one top-tier monster: "Demon King" Nash.
However, several of their core officers were extremely powerful, possessing admiral candidate-level strength that approached or even reached the level of a top combatant.
After all, several of them were freaks with Lunarian blood, coupled with powerful Devil Fruits.
Even those without Lunarian blood were monsters Nash had painstakingly trained.
Moreover, most of them were not yet forty, so further growth was not out of the question.
Including his son Asmodeus, who had yet to mature but had already displayed terrifying potential and possessed the Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Devil Form, they had at least two top combatants.
As for the Overlord Dragon Pirates, besides "Overlord Dragon" Zack, they also had Anz, a core officer who had eaten the Onyudo Devil Fruit.
The two forces could be considered roughly equal.
In terms of strength alone, the Demon King Pirates were still somewhat stronger, but the Overlord Dragon Pirates would soon recover.
And what about the Beasts Pirates?
Besides "Beasts" Kaido and "Wildfire" King, "Brontosaurus" Hebide, a fellow member of Kaido's race who shared his bloodline, was also a terrifyingly powerful monster.
It was just that Hebide, who could not fly, had been ill-suited to taking part in the recent wars. Instead, he was the absolute pillar of strength guarding the Barbarossa Kingdom.
His fearsome reputation rang throughout the southern waters of the New World Front.
They also had the monster "Pighead Emperor" Crute, bringing their total to four top combatants.
That was why, despite lacking any particularly impressive achievements, the Beasts Pirates could stand alongside the Demon King Pirates and the Overlord Dragon Pirates,
