Roy finished confirming all the groups and clicked on the desktop:
"Resolve all the gray areas within a month. If resistance is encountered, crush it."
No need to show mercy, but there's one condition—after surrendering, follow the rules of Hachinosu.
The rules were simple: do not attack civilians, do not sell slaves, report flight routes regularly, and obey orders when necessary.
Those who are willing to comply will live; those who are unwilling to comply will die.
Each group received their task and dispersed.
Over the next two months, the New World underwent an unprecedented purge.
Bullet, along with Savi and Pea, advanced from east to west.
A captain with an 800 million bounty led 30 ships to intercept them. Without saying a word, Bullet transformed into a white tiger and charged in front of the enemy flagship, punching it in half.
The captain hung from his ship's mast for more than half an hour before Savi rescued him. From then on, he never dared to mention the word "resistance" again.
Hawk Eyes and Kuina, on the other hand, advanced much more quietly.
Hawk Eyes barely made a move; it was Kuina did most of the fighting.
But Hawk Eyes only opens his eyes when he encounters a particularly formidable opponent. He casually swings his Black Blade Yoru, then continues walking forward with his eyes closed.
After Kuina defeated the " New World's rising swordsman," she asked Hawk Eyes how it went. Hawk Eyes simply replied with three words: "Not bad."
The combination of Tesoro and Enel is simply perfect.
With a Rumble-Rumble Fruit and a Cloud-Cloud Fruit, the two of them working together can bring thunder and lightning to an entire sea area.
Those pirate crews who were still hesitating about whether to submit to the enemy immediately raised the flag of Hachinosu when they saw the Thundercloud covering the sea.
Within two months, 90% of the gray area in the New World disappeared.
But not all submission is peaceful.
An island nation called " Iron Wall Kingdom " withstood three attacks from Hachinosu with its Seastone walls.
Their king is a Devil Fruit User.
The ability is to create absolute defense within a certain range, which cannot be penetrated by any physical attack.
Bullet the third attack failed, Barrett took matters into his own hands.
He walked up to the city wall, looked at the Seastone wall that was said to be "impenetrable even by Ancient Weapon," and then grinned.
He retreated fifty meters, then began to accelerate.
Tiger stripes pulsed wildly beneath his skin, and his body was surrounded by Awakening Flame Clouds and Conqueror's Haki Inazuma.
When he took his final step, he had transformed into a gigantic white tiger taller than the city wall.
"Roar--!!!"
The moment the tiger's claws slammed onto the Seastone, the entire Iron Wall Kingdom trembled.
The wall began to crack in the middle, and the cracks spread in all directions before the entire wall collapsed with a roar.
Bullet stood in the ruins, dusting off his hands. " Iron Wall?"
From then on, the Iron Wall Kingdom's flag was changed to the design of Hachinosu.
Another story takes place on an island famous for its Illusion Fruit.
The ability users on that island can create an illusionary maze that covers the entire island. The first three teams from Hachinosu spent several days wandering inside without finding an exit.
In the end, Hawk Eyes went himself.
He entered the labyrinth of illusions, closed his eyes, and drew his sword.
After the slash, all the illusions on the island shattered.
"No matter how realistic the illusion, it can't change the fact that the real body was slain." Hawk Eyes left these words behind as he sheathed his sword and turned to leave.
After the cleanup, some people will remain on Hachinosu to help with reconstruction.
Road construction, housing building, training of security teams, and establishment of supply lines.
Following a series of measures, the kingdoms that had initially been subdued by force instead became dependent on Hachinosu.
Because the order brought about by Hachinosu is more efficient and fairer than the rule of the World Government.
By the third month, 60% of the New World had fallen completely under the control of Hachinosu.
All that was left was to begin attacking those major powers.
The Flying Pirates.
Golden Lion Shiki.
The iconic spaceship cruised through the sky, its prow resembling a giant griffin. Shiki laughed heartily on the deck.
"Which little bug is coming to its death?"
Bullet looked up at the spaceship in the sky, his fur standing on end in anger.
"If you've got the guts, come down here and fight me head-on! What kind of skill is it to just fly in the sky!"
Shiki laughed even harder, "My Devil Fruit ability is to fly, so why should I go down? Come up here if you dare!"
Bullet actually jumped up there.
He transformed into a white tiger and soared into the sky, almost reaching the deck of the spaceship.
But with a casual wave of his hand, Shiki sent a floating Sky Island crashing down.
Bullet had to turn back to deal with the giant rock falling from the sky, and by the time he finished, the spaceship was already a hundred meters away.
Similar scenarios played out repeatedly over the next few months.
Shiki's Flying Pirates roamed the New World like ghosts, specifically targeting the transport fleets of Hachinosu —robbing and running away, attacking and then flying away.
Sometimes they would even drop huge rocks over the stronghold on Hachinosu, causing panic among the people below.
Bullet was assigned to guard the entrance area to the New World and to intercept Shiki's harassment.
As a result, he failed to catch Shiki head-on even once in two months, and his base was attacked seven or eight times.
"Next time I'll definitely dismantle your crappy boat and use it for firewood!"
Bullet roared at the sky, but the only response was Shiki's hearty laughter.
On a nameless deserted island in the New World, Roy sat alone on a rock smoothed by the sea breeze, clutching a golden Den Den Mushi in his hand.
He dialed a number. The Den Den Mushi rang three times before being answered, and a rough laugh came from the other end.
" Roy! You actually have time to contact me now!"
Kaido's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, filled with an excited, alcohol-laden tone.
There's a job for you.
What kind of work?
"Take over the territory of the Big Mom Pirates."
"I killed Big Mom. After she died, the territory fell apart."
Shanks took a portion, and the rest was divided among various smaller factions.
I'm not in a position to take action myself right now, so you can go and take it down for me.
"You can have what Shanks took. The rest of the scattered troops are yours to deal with; if you don't like them, just pass them on to me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, then Kaido's voice rang out again, tinged with a meaningful, playful tone:
Why don't you rob it yourself?
Do you think that if I were to defeat Big Mom, her sons would join Hachinosu?
"Hehehehe!"
You're still as shrewd as ever!
Okay, I'll take this job.
But there's one condition—if Shanks insists on fighting me to the death, you have to promise not to interfere.
"I promise."
The call ended, Kaido day.
The Beasts Pirates ' fleet set out from Wano Country in full force, with all All-Stars joining them.
Jhin patrols and scouts in the air, Queen adjusts his robotic arm on the flagship's deck, and Jack propels underwater.
In Big Mom's former territory, the once-mighty Sweet Commander have long since fallen into disarray.
Katakuri was still barely maintaining order, but with Big Mom dead,
The title of the Sweet Commanders is no longer enough to intimidate the undercurrents of their affiliated forces.
