Not only the World Government and the Navy received news that the Straw Hat Pirates had obtained the One Piece, but the other Four Emperors' forces also received the news and are already on their way!
Ace arrived with the Cross Guild. He came to help Luffy share the burden. He originally planned to come alone, since this was a private matter. What was the point of bringing the entire Cross Guild with him?
However, the fact that Buggy, Marco, Hawk-Eye, Crocodile, and others were willing to come along speaks volumes. They were all old acquaintances from the Paramount War, and it was quite a coincidence that they were able to reunite now!
" Beck..."
" Shanks! No need for further words, whatever choice you make, we support you!"
Shanks also arrived with his pirate crew, but no one knows his purpose. He might be there to reap the rewards, he might be there to help like Ace, or he might be there to retrieve Luffy's straw Straw Hat and fulfill their promise. Only Red-Hair himself knows the answer!
"Wororororo! The One Piece is finally about to appear! Has the Straw Hat Boy truly become Joy Boy?"
"Mamamamama! Kaido! I'm starting to doubt your allegiance. Weren't we going to get revenge and, incidentally, steal the One Piece?"
"Old hag! My affairs are none of your business. I only want to join that great battle. Anyone who dares to stop me will be the first to be killed!"
"Mamamamama! You? Your Devil Fruit was a gift from me back then, and you think you can use the power I gave you to kill me?"
Kaido! You've really got guts, Katakuri! Aren't you going to avenge your family?
"Mom! Victory and defeat are common occurrences. If you hold a grudge just because you were defeated, then my greatest enemy is... you!"
"Mamamamama!..."
Besides the current Four Emperors, two former Four Emperors are also on their way. Kaido and Big Mom have also received the news, and they have brought all their forces from Whole Cake Island. These two seem more like they're here to reap the rewards, after all, they are considered to have inherited Rocks' will!
"Eustras, are we going to form an alliance again this time?"
" Trafalgar! Don't think that just because we're traveling together we're allies with you. This time, I'm going to defeat the Straw Hat Boy and steal the One Piece from him. Nobody can stop me!"
"You haven't taken enough beatings yet. Even that couldn't wake you from your sweet dream. It seems only the Straw Hat-ya leader can do the trick!"
Shut up! Believe me or not, I'll kill you right now!
"Captain! I'll help you!"
"No need, Bepo! He won't make a move now!"
The older generation is here, and the new generation is also present, with two of the most outstanding among them, Kid and Law, joining in the fun!
They had been searching for the fourth landmark and were also keen on the One Piece. If a chaotic battle broke out, they might try to take advantage of the situation!
However, Law has always lacked confidence in his own strength and is even more worried about being targeted by the World Government, even though he is now qualified to undergo the Perennial Youth Operation!
"Captain! Can we get involved in this power struggle between such important figures?"
Everything has a cause and effect; this cause and effect guides me, and I'm sure I'll gain something from this experience!
"Captain! Are we really going?"
"The probability of serious injury is 100%, the probability of death is 40%, and the probability of escaping unscathed is 0%. It's not a certain death situation. You can go and take a look!"
"Boss! Is our gang also going to fight for the One Piece?"
"The gangsters are just a facade; our ultimate goal is the One Piece. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have gone to sea. Wouldn't it have been better to be a gang leader in the West Blue?"
I've already won over the Straw Hat Pirates, and now the opportunity is right in front of me—and this is exactly what I'm good at!
" Straw Hat Boy! You're not a bad person, and your grandfather is Mr. Garp. As long as you hand over the One Piece, I won't harm you!"
"Captain Drake! What are you saying?"
"Nothing..."
Of course, it's not just Law and Kid who will be joining the fun in this new era. Among the Worst Generation, who are in the same batch as Luffy, there are Mad Monk Urouge, Hawkins, Capone Bege, and Drake!
Apart from Mad Monk Urouge, the others are all people who have followed the Four Emperors. Urouge has even defeated one of Big Mom's Sweet Commander, so he is considered a relatively knowledgeable pirate. They all grew up listening to the legend of the Pirate King Roger, and their obsession with the One Piece is even greater than that of the older generation of pirates!
The Straw Hat Pirates are about to face a huge crisis, and Luffy's crew members have also received the news and are rushing to support their boss. They have a life-or-death bond with each other and are all loyal and righteous people. It's impossible for them not to come after hearing such news!
Almost everyone of note in the New World is trying to get here. As for who leaked the news that the Straw Hat Boy had obtained the One Piece, none of the people who received the news know who it was, but they are very certain of it. This whole thing is quite strange!
" Koala! How much longer!"
"Chief! Time is running out. Data collection has slowed down, and continuing will yield no results. We can end this at any time!"
On Lodestar Island, Dragon seemed to be getting impatient with the Seraphim's battle, but Koala didn't spoil the mood; the report he received was quite satisfactory!
The main reason was that Vic brought the text left by Joy Boy. After reading the contents, he couldn't stay calm at all. The thought that his son had been targeted by Imu made him even more anxious!
"Then let's eliminate them! They're all lackeys of the World Government; the future world won't tolerate them!"
"Yes!"
Vic had long suspected that these Seraphim n't using their full strength, perhaps because they had some ulterior motive. Now it was confirmed: the Seraphim were indeed collecting combat data!
Koala gave all the Seraphim the order to kill them all, and the Seraphim instantly changed. Their speed, moves, and fighting style all changed, and even their eyes became murderous. Every move they made was a killing blow!
The battlefield situation changed drastically in an instant; in less than a breath, several CP0 agents were killed!
The most bloodthirsty was S-Hawk. He had a knife in his hand, and he killed people cleanly and efficiently, making the scene even more bloody. He directly cut a CP0 into two pieces. No matter if it was Tekkai or Armament Haki Hardening, he shattered all the defenses with one slash, and the remaining force did not diminish as he cut the person in two!
" Saint Saturn! Requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements! CP0 is no match for the Seraphim, and is currently..."
A black-suited agent, urgently reporting to his superiors while pulling out Den Den Mushi), was kicked into a stone statue by S-Snake, who was passing by. Even the Den Den Mushi wasn't spared!
It wasn't just this man in the black suit; anyone within Seraphim's reach was doomed. Even CP0 was no match for Seraphim; they were just a casualty on the roadside!
On the battlefield, the S-Hawk's attacks are ferocious and ruthless; a mere graze can cause injury, and a direct hit can be fatal!
S-Snake Legs move with the force of wind, each step powerful; a mere rub will petrify a part of the body, a single touch will petrify the entire body!
S-Shark is a demon of the earth and a monster of the stone. If it grabs a person and puts them in the earth, it's like burying them alive. If it takes a person into a stone, it's like turning them into a fossil!
The S-Bird, the king of the skies, can casually toss out a Birdcage. Although it's not big, it's still easy to trap several people inside. You can imagine what it's like to be trapped inside!
With S-Crocodile Gold in hand, you have everything. Can you protect yourself from external sources, but can you protect yourself from internal ones? Gold entering the body is a matter of life and death!
S-Bat Shadow Lala, Scissors Snip Snip, Enemy Lies Dead, I Eat the Shadow and Become Stronger!
