"Captain, are you kidding me? That's the Azure Emperor! A monster that can wipe out hundreds of pirate crews with a single blow!"
"No, Captain! There's absolutely no chance of winning if we go to war with the Azure Emperor. Even if we're going to fight Whitebeard, we shouldn't go to war with the Azure Emperor."
"That's right, Captain Moria, don't forget, you're Devil Fruit User. You'll become weak if you come into contact with seawater. Besides, didn't you say that the Azure Emperor isn't our target?"
Upon hearing Moria's words, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
The people of Wano Country were astonished that someone dared to attack the Azure Emperor.
Even Moria's crew members panicked, their faces turning pale, and they repeatedly tried to stop Moria.
No wonder they were so panicked.
The photos taken by the Navy's observation ship of Zesi using the Sea Wave Surge were originally classified as secret by the Navy.
It was sealed in a classified room at Navy Headquarters.
But somehow it got leaked.
The terrifying scene of the sea being stirred up and the ocean raging was immediately reported in the newspapers.
Everyone who saw these photos was horrified.
This apocalyptic sea turmoil terrified pirates throughout the New World.
Many pirates who are naturally capable of protecting themselves and are not afraid of such sea turmoil cannot guarantee that they can protect their subordinates in such a situation.
Therefore, everyone's opinion was very much in line with that of the Sengoku.
To fight the Azure Emperor on the high seas would be tantamount to suicide.
The Moria Pirates, who had just entered the New World and were preparing to defeat the One Piece and become the Pirate King, also saw the newspaper and the pictures on it.
Upon seeing this picture, they immediately changed their statement from "punishing one emperor and two sovereigns" to "punishing one of the two sovereigns."
Even though Moria was confident in his strength and feared neither the Emperor nor the Two Sovereigns.
However, he didn't feel he could protect himself or his partners under such circumstances.
After all, he is Devil Fruit User; if he were to be swept into the sea, everything would be over.
However, Captain Moria, who had not originally included the Azure Emperor in his list of targets, suddenly announced that he would attack the Azure Emperor and seize his position Emperor of the Sea Azure Emperor. How could everyone not be surprised?
"Idiot, didn't you see where we are? This is Wano Country, an island in the New World, considered large even in the Four Blues. This is land. How could the Azure Emperor stir up the sea? Besides, this is the Azure Emperor's territory. He can't just create a tsunami to flood this place, can he?" Moria said.
Hearing Moria's words, everyone was taken aback, exchanged glances, and realized that it made sense!
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! To be honest, the Azure Emperor is indeed very strong, but the White Emperor and the Empress of the Tea Party are not necessarily weak. In fact, in terms of pure combat power, they might even be stronger than the Azure Emperor. The reason the Azure Emperor is so terrifying is because of his ability to stir up the sea and cause tsunamis and earthquakes. Without these abilities, his strength might not be that great. Now is the perfect opportunity to defeat him. If I miss such a good opportunity given to me by the heavens, I'll be struck by lightning."
Upon hearing Moria's words, the other members of Moria Pirates also lit up.
Yes, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Without the tsunami, without the ability to stir up the sea, the Azure Emperor realized that defeating it wasn't impossible.
Perhaps we can truly defeat the Azure Emperor here and ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the Sea.
A glimmer of hope rose in everyone's eyes.
"You think you can take on the Azure Emperor? I suggest you just give up and go to bed!"
At this moment, the samurai standing nearby, upon hearing that the Moria Pirates still wanted to deal with the Azure Emperor, couldn't help but sneer.
"Hehehe, you ignorant fools, you have no idea how powerful I, Gecko Moria, am! The Azure Emperor only has his current status because of the tsunami he unleashed with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Without the tsunami, I'm not necessarily weaker than him!"
"I don't know anything about tsunamis, but I do know that Azure Emperor is a god-like being. Not to mention Azure Emperor, even the other members of the Azure Emperor Pirates, such as Lord Bullet, Lord Shanks, and Lord Spencer, all possess terrifying strength. With your abilities, going there would be practically suicide!" the samurai said disdainfully.
"Hehehe, it seems necessary to let you know how terrifying our Moria Pirates are!" Moria said coldly.
"Doppelman!" No sooner had Moria finished speaking than the shadow beneath his feet came to life again, and a shadow Moria rose from within Moria's shadow.
As soon as the shadow Moria appeared, he quickly reached out a hand, grabbed the samurai by the neck, and lifted him high into the air.
"Hehehe, I hate it when people look down on my strength, so you can die now!" Moria said.
As he spoke, the Doppelman's hand was about to forcefully snap the warrior's neck.
Just then, a small white ball of light flashed by.
The small white ball of light struck the Doppelman's arm with pinpoint accuracy.
"Boom!" Don't underestimate this tiny ball of light. When it hit the Doppelman, it was as if he had been hit by a cannon, and his entire arm exploded instantly.
"Who!" Moria asked, looking in the direction from which the ball of light had come.
"Hehehe, I just heard someone talking about me, so I came to check!" Just then, a young man was seen sitting on the roof of a house, looking at the crowd.
"Qing, the Azure Emperor!" The Doppelman's arm was smashed, and the warrior was also freed. He wanted to see who had saved him, and when he saw who it was, his face showed an expression of worship and fanaticism as he spoke.
... The young man sitting on the roof at this moment was Zesi.
The newly recruited crew members are now training with Bullet, while Shanks and the others have begun training on their own.
Although Buggy wanted to slack off, he remembered that he was about to become a division commander and his strength couldn't be outmatched by Shanks and the others, so he started training.
On the contrary, Zesi was the one who had more free time.
With nothing else to do, Zesi wandered around Wano Country aimlessly.
As they wandered around, they saw a pirate ship enter Wano Country.
Upon seeing pirates appear in Wano Country, Zesi thought, "It seems I should remind Kozuki Oden."
With the rise of the Great Pirate Era, more and more pirates entered the New World.
With the increase in pirates in the New World, perhaps even more pirates will enter Wano Country in the future.
If it were pirates like the Roger Pirates Whitebeard Pirates, that would be fine.
If it were one of those pirate crews that enjoy burning, killing, and looting, Wano Country might have suffered a terrible tragedy.
It would be best to install some surveillance Den Den Mushi here, or send some people to guard it.
But now that we've seen them, let's go see who they are and what they're planning to do.
So Zesi followed.
"I've heard someone wants to attack me, to take my position Emperor of the Sea. I'm right here now, so why don't you give it a try? It'll also be a good opportunity for me to see what kind of strength you have now, Gecko Moria!" Zesi said, looking at Moria.
