"Don't worry. Do you think he'll become the next Rocks? The next Shiki?"
"Rocks is history, and we even captured Typhon. The Flying Pirates are still rebuilding their strength."
Kong spoke calmly.
He did not believe the Black Emperor Pirates would become the next Rocks Pirates or Flying Pirates.
Teach might become terrifyingly strong one day, but as Kong had said, even Typhon, the "King of Monsters," had fallen. What was there to fear?
At worst, the New World would gain another Sea Emperor. So what?
The New World already had plenty of monsters. One more would make little difference.
Until they dealt with the Flying Pirates, they had neither the need nor the energy to focus too closely on other forces.
In truth, the constant emergence of monsters in the New World was inevitable. Nothing could stop that tide.
The Great Pirate Era had begun only four or five years ago. Its wave was still rolling forward, and its effects would last for decades.
The Navy might bury some promising pirates before they had a chance to grow.
But powerful pirates would always break into the New World, survive its trials, and rise.
All the Navy could do was hope the New World's monsters killed one another.
Silver Axe's death at the hands of Zack the "Overlord Dragon" and the war between the Demon King Pirates and the Five Peaks Pirates were examples.
But such clashes were unlikely.
The Silver Axe Pirates and the Overlord Dragon Pirates were mortal enemies. The Demon King Pirates and the Five Peaks Pirates were much the same: if the Demon King Pirates wanted to expand, they had to remove the Five Peaks Pirates from their path.
Without a fundamental conflict, the top fighters would not act lightly.
They all showed considerable restraint.
