The moment the course of the war became unpredictable, the Cipher Pol, under orders from the Five Elders, cut off the Den Den Mushi. However, everything that happened in Marineford had already spread throughout the world.
The destruction of the Marine Headquarters alone has already shocked everyone.
Morgans' newspaper, however, presented a story that was seven parts truth and three parts fiction, embellishing the facts and publishing aerial footage in the paper.
A golden giant hundreds of meters tall!
A super-large warship capable of floating in the air!
The earth-shattering scene created by Whitebeard and Meikyō's combined attack, along with the final confrontation between the four Sea Emperors and the World Government, filled everyone with unease.
Does this mean that the pirates are about to unite and wage a full-scale war against the World Government?
Countless pirates cheered and rejoiced at the Navy's humiliation, pushing the Great Pirate Era to its climax.
But to people's surprise, no further major battles occurred.
Rayleigh cared deeply for Ace, and Whitebeard also regarded Ace as his future successor.
Among Whitebeard's many adopted sons, apart from Blackbeard Teach has already betrayed him, only Ace has the potential to grow to the level of Admiral Four Emperors and inherit the Whitebeard Pirates.
While Marco, Vista, and others are all very strong, there is still a significant gap between them and the top level of the ocean. Given their age, it will likely be difficult for them to take that final step.
Ace is only nineteen years old this year, but he has already shown remarkable strength. His Devil Fruit ability has also been developed to a very high level. With his talent, if he spends a few more years to make up for his Haki in Haki, he will definitely be able to enter the ranks of Admiral.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Fan Pirates formed an extremely close alliance, and Kaido joined in to realize his own ambitions—he believed that as long as he became the leader of the alliance, he could become the most powerful and influential pirate in the world, and then launch an epic war between pirates and the World Government to accomplish what Rocks had failed to achieve—becoming the King of the World.
Kaido has his reasons for doing this; after all, although he appears rough and rugged, he also has a meticulous side.
Whitebeard did all this to protect his family. In his eyes, his family was more important than being the Pirate King or the King of the World, and he was also getting old.
Even if Ace grows up, that's a matter for later, and since he's relatively young, he won't be able to reach Whitebeard's level without enough time to accumulate experience.
Kaido also realized that Uchiha Meikyō had ulterior motives regarding this alliance, seemingly wanting to use its power to achieve some of his own goals, but he didn't seem to care about taking control of the alliance, suggesting he had other plans.
But Kaido didn't care about this, because no matter how big his schemes were, could he possibly become the King of the World?
Thus, the Pirate Alliance composed of three of the Five Emperors is being prepared in an orderly manner under Rayleigh's leadership.
Of the three, Meikyō's forces are the weakest, consisting of the Mogara Kingdom and a few small to medium-sized countries that sought refuge with him, and they border Kaido's territory.
Kaido and Whitebeard's territories are relatively much larger. In the next period of time, the task is to connect the three territories into one, dominate the New World, and occupy more than 70% of the New World's territory.
The remaining territory belongs to Shanks, Big Mom Pirates, and the Navy.
"This is Pluton?"
In a secret sea area of the Mogara Kingdom, Meikyō looked at the enormous creature before him with a somewhat shocked expression.
The Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, Moby Dick, is a super ship that is over 200 meters long, almost the size of an aircraft carrier.
After all, the average height in the Pirate World is very high, with many people standing two or three meters tall. Whitebeard himself was 6.66 meters tall, so his ship wouldn't be qualified to be the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates unless it was built to be quite large.
The Grim Reaper was more than twice the size of the Moby Dick, measuring over 400 meters long and more than 130 meters wide, making it practically a mobile sea fortress.
Of course, there are ships larger than this in the Pirate World. For example, Thriller Bark, the ship of the Emperor Tesoro, and Noah of Fish-Man Island. These are all ships comparable to an island.
And now, Pluton is also such a terrifying behemoth.
However, without such a large size, it's estimated that it wouldn't be able to fire a shell capable of destroying an entire island in one shot.
"Is this thing still usable now?"
Meikyō looked at the mottled hull and asked Dragon beside him.
"Mr. Iceberg understands the structure of Pluton and has the ability to pilot this ship, but the propulsion system is severely damaged. We deployed hundreds of ships to pull it from the front and also temporarily built a huge sail. It was only by my ability to create a strong wind that we were able to barely send the ship out of Wano Country."
Looking at the enormous ship before him, Dragon continued speaking to the Meikyō:
"Later, I sent people to Fish-Man Island and told them that I was one of your people and that you needed the help of the Fish-Man. It just so happened that the live broadcast had just been cut off. Neptune agreed because of your relationship with Whitebeard, and we were able to come into contact with Princess Shirahoshi and recognize her as the legendary Poseidon."
"Subsequently, with the help of those giant Sea King, each over five thousand meters long, commanded by Shirahoshi, we were able to successfully bring Pluton back."
At this moment, aboard the massive Pluton, Iceberg, along with his student Franky, was directing a group of people to repair the Pluton.
"Were they not discovered by Kaido's men?"
Meikyō asked Dragon.
"No, on the day I sent the Pluton out of Wano Country, I created a hurricane, which made no one dare to approach the Pluton."
There is no doubt that Dragon is capable of creating a hurricane capable of engulfing a large island.
"How long will it take to get it fixed?"
"Have no idea."
Dragon shook his head and said.
"It depends on the extent of the repairs. Although we have the blueprints for the Pluton, repairing Pluton is a huge challenge even for Mr. Iceberg. What we need to do now is repair the Pluton's power system so that this behemoth can move. After that, we need to consider whether it can reach the expected speed, and then the weapon system and other systems of the hull."
"Moreover, Caesar made many suggestions. For example, he wanted this behemoth to be able to fly into the sky like the Grim Reaper, and he also contributed a lot to the repair of the weapon systems on the Pluton."
Caesar is indeed the most authoritative scientist in the field of weaponry in the Pirate World, second only to Vegapunk.
"Then, the next step will probably be to integrate the Pirate Alliance to attract the World Government's attention, and rely on the Pirate Alliance's power to obtain resources to repair Pluton and continue to develop the Revolutionary Army's strength."
The Pirate Alliance has just been established and already possesses extremely powerful strength. If it continues to grow and expand, it will definitely be able to deal a certain blow to the Navy and the World Government.
Of course, Meikyō did not expect that a single Pirate Alliance could defeat the World Government.
History has proven that a clear, scientifically sound program is necessary as guidance, coupled with a sufficiently powerful military force, for a new system to replace the old one.
The latter alone would only lead to the same fate as the Boxers and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; it would be impossible to overthrow the corrupt but still massive old regime.
The latter is the key to starting an uprising, while the former is the key to its growth and expansion after the uprising begins.
To overthrow the World Government, most of the world's countries need to unite.
Pirates alone cannot accomplish this; the Revolutionary Army is needed.
Finally, by combining the powers of Poseidon and Pluton, they fought against the World Government, which possessed Uranus.
However, this is only the current plan.
Meikyō believes that her strength will only increase over time.
In the Pirate World, the limit for someone like myself, or Whitebeard, to be able to suppress a powerful Marine Admiral with an absolute advantage in a head-on battle is probably already the limit.
If conditions allow, there might be a chance to kill one Admiral, but against two Admiral, there is basically no chance of victory. At most, it would be like the Paramount War before, where you could fight but couldn't win, and as time went on, you would most likely be the one to fall into a disadvantageous position.
However, in the Naruto World and the One-Punch Man World, while this level of strength is top-tier, it is not yet at its limit.
The Rinnegan, the Ten-Tails, and the Kekkei Mōra can all enhance one's strength.
As for the One-Punch Man World...
"Limiter? I don't know. I wonder if I have the potential to break through the limiter."
Meikyō didn't know if he could reach the same level as Saitama.
However, he believes that limiters may be tiered, and Saitama broke all the limits, raising his strength to a level with almost no upper limit.
Many of the other strong characters in the One-Punch Man World are also orthodox humans, but Garou is able to break through his limits time and time again, while Tatsumaki also touches the limit when she exerts her Psychic Power to the maximum.
Based on Genus's analysis, the limiter actually represents the limit of your race at the current stage.
There are only two ways to break through.
One is to become a monster, no longer even human, and naturally, one can break through this limit.
Another possibility is that after reaching one's own limit, one breaks through that limit through training, life-or-death battles, or, like Tatsumaki, unlocks some of one's own limiters due to experiments encountered in childhood.
Once the limiter is completely removed, he will be an invincible being like Saitama.
Of course, this is just Meikyō's personal speculation.
But Meikyō is certain that if he can break the limiter, his lower limit of strength will be at the level of the Six Paths —he is already almost at the top level below the Six Paths.
Even against a powerful figure like Uchiha Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan at the Six Paths level and has some of the essence of the Six Paths, they can still fight to a draw.
Back in the captain's cabin of the Grim Reaper, he left a Shadow Clone that could last for a long time, and then with a flash of blue light, Meikyō left the Pirate World.
One-Punch Man World, Z-City No Man's Land.
Meikyō, carrying a bag of fresh Sea King meat steaks, knocked on Saitama's door.
"You idiot, I already told you Teacher Meikyō isn't here..."
Genos opened the door impatiently, only to find Meikyō outside, and his attitude immediately changed.
"I'm so sorry, Teacher Meikyō, I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, it's nothing. Did anyone come looking for me while I was gone?"
Meikyō carried the pork chop into the room and asked.
"Yes, it's the thirteenth of the S-rank, Flashy Flash. It seems to be because Teacher Meikyō calls himself a ninja."
Genos nodded and said.
"Oh, you're back."
Saitama, propping his head up with one hand, lay on his side on the floor in his pajamas, scratching his butt while watching TV. When he heard Meikyō return, he didn't turn around, but just waved his hand behind his back and said something.
"Ah, I went back to my hometown and brought back some local seafood and meat."
Meikyō said, stuffing the Sea King's meat patty into the refrigerator.
"Oh, that's great. Let's have barbecue tonight. Speaking of which, there was this weirdo called the Seafood King who appeared a while ago. The Hero Association tried to contact you for ages but couldn't."
Saitama's attention was finally drawn to the steak.
"Seafood King?"
"It's the Deep Sea King, Saitama- sensei."
Genos corrected.
"Ah, they're all just sea fish and stuff, so there's not much difference."
Saitama yawned.
"No, that only applies to Saitama. Saitama and Teacher Meikyō might be able to easily defeat Deep Sea King, but in reality, Deep Sea King has defeated two S-Class Hero, Puri-Puri Prisoner and myself, which shows that his strength should not be underestimated..."
I understand! Saitama- sensei means that when facing an enemy, we should start by strategically underestimating them, placing ourselves in a superior position to maximize our strength? Isn't that a bit arrogant...? No, this precisely illustrates the crucial role of confidence in battle, allowing us to more perfectly unleash our full potential..."
"Forehead..."
Saitama stared speechlessly at Genos had pulled out a small notebook and was writing furiously.
Meikyō leaned closer and saw that Genos had even written down what Saitama's purpose was in lying on the ground watching TV, and what aspects of his training he could gain.
"Speaking of which, Saitama, you're so relaxed now, it's because you've been promoted to B-rank and don't need to do patrol missions anymore, right?"
"Ah, I'm currently ranked first in C-rank. The Hero Association should be calling me over in the next couple of days."
Saitama curled up in front of the TV again and waved his hand.
Just then, a bell rang from Genos's pocket.
"Moshi moshi, Mr. Bang, um, Teacher Meikyō is back, and Mr. Saitama is here too. Ah, okay, let me ask."
Genos turned off his phone and looked at Meikyō and Saitama, saying:
"Teachers, Mr. Bang has invited us to visit his temple. We wonder if you two are available?"
Thank you for the 500 Qidian coins reward from Bie Rumi.
I need some time to sort out the plot. Four thousand words for today.
