"That Silver Axe was actually defeated?"
"It was the Azure Emperor who intervened, not only defeating Silver Axe but also killing him in one fell swoop!"
"That's a pirate second only to Whitebeard and Big Mom!"
" The Azure Emperor is so powerful that even Silver Axe died at his hands. He might even be stronger than Whitebeard!"
The Silver Axe Pirates have been defeated!
Silver Axe, a top-tier pirate, died at the hands of the Azure Emperor.
The curtain falls on yet another top-tier pirate!
The news of the Silver Axe Pirates' defeat by the Azure Emperor Pirates was like a thunderbolt that resounded throughout the New World, causing an uproar among the pirates New World.
Unlike Captain John's cunning and scheming, Silver Axe was always a force to be reckoned with among the New World pirates.
He possesses strength comparable to any great pirate.
He is one of the few pirates in the New World who can bend the sea Emperor of the Sea like Whitebeard and Big Mom.
This is a great pirate, and with the rapid growth of the entire pirate crew during this period due to the Great Pirate Era.
The pirate crew numbered thirty to forty thousand.
There are also renowned pirates from the New World, such as the Gale Swordmaster.
The Silver Axe Pirates ' lineup is undeniably impressive.
The Azure Emperor Pirates only numbered three or four hundred.
The battle did not take place at sea.
650 If it were on the open sea, with the Azure Emperor's ability to stir up the ocean...
It's understandable that the Silver Axe Pirates lost.
After all, it was using the power of the sea, an invincible force that human power could not resist.
But on land, they have a hundred times the manpower, a luxurious lineup, and a top-tier pirate like Silver Axe.
Everyone felt that the Azure Emperor Pirates were in trouble this time.
But in the end, it was the Silver Axe Pirates were defeated.
And they were utterly defeated.
The captain and first mate of the Silver Axe Pirates were killed on the spot.
The entire Silver Axe Pirates suffered heavy casualties.
Those who didn't die were all captured by the Azure Emperor Pirates.
Such a record caused an uproar in the New World.
"Although I had anticipated that the Silver Axe Pirates would lose, I didn't expect them to lose so badly. The Azure Emperor has become even stronger!" Sengoku said, looking at the report transmitted from the New World observation ship at Marine Headquarters.
Since the reappearance of the Azure Emperor Pirates, the Navy has dispatched observation ships to keep a close watch on Azure Emperor Pirates from a distance, in order to grasp their Azure Emperor Pirates as soon as possible.
The Navy observed the Silver Axe Pirates' attack from beginning to end.
Therefore, after the battle, a detailed report on the battle between the Azure Emperor Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates appeared at Marine Headquarters.
"That brat seems to be growing all the time, he's a terrifying guy!" Garp said with a grave expression after reading the report.
The battle between the Azure Emperor Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates is described in great detail in this report.
Especially the final sword strike unleashed by Zesi after activating his Devil Fruit Awakening.
The description is particularly familiar.
A large number of photos were also taken during the trip.
Even Garp Sengoku looked extremely solemn when they saw these photos.
Neither of them was confident they could withstand this attack.
"The Navy must change its attitude towards the Azure Emperor Pirates. If we cannot eliminate the Azure Emperor Pirates at all costs now, we must be prepared for an opponent beyond our expectations to emerge," said Navy Chief of Staff Tsuru with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing Crane's words, everyone turned to look at her.
"Crane, what's your opinion?" Kong asked Crane.
"Judging from this report, the new batch of warriors recruited by the Azure Emperor Pirates are not only exceptionally strong, but also possess excellent military skills. They are disciplined and coordinate their attacks seamlessly, which clearly indicates that they have undergone rigorous military training. For a pirate crew to undergo such strict military training shows that the Azure Emperor is not content with being just a pirate!" Crane said.
"Not satisfied with being a pirate?" Everyone looked at Tsuru in surprise.
A hint of doubt lingered in everyone's eyes. What did it mean to be dissatisfied with being just a pirate?
" The Azure Emperor Pirates aren't content with just being pirates, are they? What other ambitions could they possibly have?" What grand aspirations!
"I should have guessed it from the moment he mentioned the Emperor of the Sea!" Sengoku understood what the crane meant.
Everyone was still full of doubt, not knowing what Sengoku and Tsuru meant.
" Sengoku, Tsuru, what exactly do you mean by that?" Garp asked, confused.
"Don't you understand? The Azure Emperor isn't content with being a pirate; he wants to be the Emperor of the Sea!" Crane said.
"Wasn't he already the Emperor of the Sea?" Garp asked, puzzled.
"The current Emperor of the Sea' is just a pirate's nickname. No matter what, he's still just a pirate. But what he wants to be is the real Emperor of the Sea, an Emperor of the Sea with his own territory and his own country. Pirate Hachinosu is the first step in his transformation. The Azure Emperor Territory is his country. He wants to become a political force like the World Government, and Wano Country may already be a member of this Azure Emperor Territory!" Tsuru said.
While others only focus on the immense power Zesi displayed, a closer look reveals the extraordinary nature of the Azure Emperor Pirates.
But the crane saw things that others couldn't.
The Azure Emperor Pirates ' objective.
Why did the Azure Emperor Pirates do this?
What is the Azure Emperor Pirates capable of?
"This Pirate Hachinosu is no simple matter. Wano Country is famous for its superior weapons. Just with Wano Country's weapons and Brunei Family's fine wine, it can attract a large number of pirates, including our Navy and the World Government. It can not only make a lot of money to recruit talent, but also help Wano Country open up its weapon sales channels, making Wano Country more willing to submit to the Azure Emperor Territory. At the same time, the Azure Emperor can also absorb a large number of people." Sengoku said. "So decide, do we take this opportunity to put all our strength into wiping out the Azure Emperor Pirates in one fell swoop, or do we sit and watch a huge power rise?" Tsuru concluded.
Crane's words silenced everyone present.
