"The navy at G-5 Fortress has begun its evacuation!"
"No way, is the Navy really going to withdraw from the New World?"
" The Azure Emperor's Decree has even instilled fear in the navy."
"What should we do then?"
"It's over. Without the Navy, won't the pirates in the New World be even more unscrupulous?"
The Navy has actually started withdrawing from the New World?
All the powers in the New World were shocked.
Although when the Azure Emperor's Decree was issued, many people speculated that the Navy might actually withdraw from the New World.
But when the navy actually withdrew from the New World, everyone felt incredulous and couldn't believe it.
That was, after all, a navy that had intimidated the world for eight hundred years.
Some World Government in the New World that had joined the movement immediately panicked.
There aren't many World Government Member States in the New World, but there are still some, such as Dressrosa.
The World Government Member States are protected by the Navy. Now that the Navy is withdrawing from the New World, they are the ones who are most panicked.
"There are more and more pirates in the New World, and the Navy has withdrawn from the New World. What should we do now?"
"How could the World Government do this? We are also World Government Member States. How can they ignore our lives?"
"I'm afraid even the World Government can't do anything about it. The Navy suffered heavy losses in its recent campaign against the Azure Emperor, including the death of the Fleet Admiral. Now, the Azure Emperor is retaliating by ordering the Navy to withdraw from the New World, and the World Government has no way to disobey his Azure Emperor's Decree."
"That damned Azure Emperor! Roger started the Great Pirate Era, and he's only made things worse. No pirate is any good!"
"Oh no! Pirates are coming!"
"Quickly, notify the National Protection Army to block them!"
"I'm going to Mary Geoise. We're World Government Member States, and the World Government can't ignore us. Otherwise, what's the point of the Heavenly Tribute?"
With the advent of the Great Pirate Era, the number of pirates in the New World increased several times over.
However, with the navy's deterrent effect, pirates generally don't target World Government Member States.
Even if they grabbed a gun, they would only grab it briefly and then run away, fearing that the navy would chase them from behind.
But now that the Navy has withdrawn from the New World, the pirates have immediately become unrestrained.
The Navy had barely withdrawn from the New World when pirates immediately began attacking World Government Member States.
Therefore, many World Government Member States began to resent the Azure Emperor Pirates, because all of this was caused by the Azure Emperor Pirates.
Although we had been attacked by pirates before, they had never been so brazen.
Soon after, news spread that some small countries had been destroyed by pirates.
The entire kingdom was attacked by gunfire; the king and nobles were killed, and the common people suffered heavy casualties.
Even the countries that weren't robbed were filled with anxiety, fearing they would be the next to be robbed.
Just then, the Azure Emperor suddenly spoke.
" The New World is the territory of the Azure Emperor Pirates. Are you trying to steal our food? All the countries in the northern waters of the New World must pay tribute to the Azure Emperor Pirates, and the Azure Emperor Pirates will protect you. Anyone who dares to attack a country that pays tribute to the Azure Emperor Pirates will become an enemy of the Azure Emperor Pirates!"
When this news spread from the Azure Emperor Pirates, the entire New World fell silent!
Many pirate crews that were robbing the area immediately fled!
They dared not provoke the Azure Emperor Pirates, a pirate crew capable of going toe-to-toe with the Marine Headquarters.
The true emperor of the sea!
However, some pirates refused to believe it.
We're all pirates, who's afraid of who? At worst, we'll just hide at sea, you think you can find me? Oh God, someone save us! Someone save my country!
"My country is about to be conquered by pirates!"
Watching the pirates relentlessly killing and robbing, a king knelt on the ground and prayed.
"Hey, do you need shelter?" Just then, a voice came from behind him.
The king turned around and saw a young man with a carefree smile sitting on his table, eating something from the table.
"Who, who are you?" The sudden appearance of the person startled the king so much that he fell to the ground.
"Me? I am Azure Emperor Apostle of the Azure Emperor's Will throughout the world. By the way, do you need protection?" "You... you can protect us and drive away these pirates?"
"Who do you think you're talking to? I am, after all, an apostle of the Azure Emperor. I'll ask you one last time: do you need protection? If you hesitate any longer, your country will be finished." "Yes, yes! Please save my country!" the king cried.
The king was in despair. Now, he would do anything to save his country, even if it was a pirate, even the Azure Emperor pirate he had cursed just days before...
"Then, let's hang this pirate flag up." Kirikage said, taking out a pirate flag.
The design on this pirate flag is that of the Azure Emperor Pirates Azure Emperor Pirates, but the colors are different.
It was a black Azure Emperor Pirate Flag.
The flag of the real Azure Emperor Pirates is golden yellow.
"Okay, I'll hang it up right away!"
The king immediately arranged for the pirate flag to be hung up, and when he turned around again, he found that Kirikage had disappeared from the room.
"Ah,"
"Who are you?"
"Wow, that's fast!"
"What an amazing sword!"
"How could this be? The captain was killed by him with a single sword strike!"
The king looked outside and saw a figure flashing rapidly through the city.
Wherever the figure flashed past, blood splattered, and people fell to the ground.
The ferocious and terrifying pirates from just moments ago were now like a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered, all of them being cut down without any power to resist.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of pirates lay dead on the ground.
"This... this is the Azure Emperor Pirates?"
"If a mere crew member possesses such terrifying power, then what kind of being is the Azure Emperor, the Emperor of the Sea?" the young king asked in disbelief.
The thought that he had cursed the Azure Emperor not long ago sent a chill down his spine.
"You scum? See that pirate flag up there?" Kirikage said to the remaining 5.1 pirates after killing four people, including a pirate captain, with a single sword strike.
"That, that's the flag of the Azure Emperor Pirates?"
"Why is the Azure Emperor Pirates ' flag here?"
"Why haven't we seen this before?" the pirates exclaimed in surprise.
Although the flags are different colors, the patterns are the same, making them instantly recognizable as the flags of the Azure Emperor Pirates.
"From this day forward, this country is under the protection of our Azure Emperor Pirates. From today onward, this country is a member of the Azure Emperor Territory. As those who have violated the Azure Emperor Territory, you have two choices: either be killed like pigs, or work in this country to compensate for the damage you have caused!"
"Be killed or work, the choice is yours!" Kirikage said with a faint smile to the crowd.
Meanwhile, the same thing is happening in some countries in the New World.
Gradually, New World emerged, encompassing the Azure Emperor Territory!
