The World Government Makes Its Move, Issuing Ten Trillion More Beli for the Azure Emperor Territory
"I'd never do something like fighting a monster like the Azure Emperor!"
"Survey the entire Hachinosu? How is that even possible? Even if it were possible, so what? There are so many people on Hachinosu right now. As long as I hide in the crowd, even the Azure Emperor wouldn't be able to find me!"
As Walker watched Airo and the other two walk out of the main hall one after another, Walker eyes darted around.
His body transformed into a half-beast, and he rushed outwards at incredible speed, disappearing from the Azure Emperor Palace in the blink of an eye.
Walker is Zoan Sheep-Sheep Devil Fruit User. Don't underestimate sheep; their leg strength is extremely powerful, which makes them incredibly fast.
The Death Army guarding the "773" Palace of the Azure Emperor often didn't even see him before he had already flashed past them.
By the time they came to their senses, Walker had vanished.
When Airo and his group arrived at the training ground, they saw Zesi waiting for them there.
But when they saw Zesi, they were all shocked.
Zesi was carrying a person in his hand, and when they arrived, Zesi casually tossed the person down in front of them.
The three looked up and saw that the person was none other than Walker had just landed behind them.
When the three saw Walker lagging behind and not catching up for a long time, they immediately understood Walker's plan.
At the same time, they also held Walker in utter contempt.
However, even if they looked down on Walker, they still acknowledged Walker strength, especially his speed.
They hadn't expected that before they even reached the training ground, Walker would be caught up with and defeated by Zesi.
This made them even more horrified by Zesi's strength.
"I've really been underestimated. In this dignified Azure Emperor Palace, in front of me, someone actually thinks he can just leave so easily? Don't you think he's completely disregarding me?" Zesi said calmly.
"However, although he is arrogant, his strength is only average. I hope the three of you can be better than him!" Zesi exuded a terrifying aura. Hearing Zesi's words and seeing the aura emanating from Zesi, the three looked at each other.
Then the three of them attacked Zesi simultaneously.
The navy has been looking very tense lately.
Although they repelled the combined forces of Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates, they established a foothold in the New World.
However, they were unable to destroy the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
The Big Mom Pirates formidable military strength.
The Beasts Pirates' brutal fighting style and the powerful Kaido made it difficult for them to defeat them for a long time.
Most importantly, the Azure Emperor returned to the Azure Emperor Territory and sent out a message hoping that all parties in the New World would exercise restraint for the sake of the New World's stability.
With just one sentence, the navy dared not act recklessly.
Not to mention that after the Azure Emperor returned to the New World, he immediately ordered a massive recruitment drive.
In just ten days, 30,000 soldiers were recruited.
This immediately put the navy on edge.
What does it mean to conscript 30,000 soldiers in ten days?
The World Government could recruit soldiers worldwide in about six months, but that would only amount to 100,000.
Although some strong individuals were recruited, such as the Three Admirals and those powerful Marine Vice Admiral.
However, it took half a year to fill all the regular soldiers.
The Azure Emperor Pirates were able to recruit 30,000 men in just ten days using only the Azure Emperor Territory.
Furthermore, I've heard that the Azure Emperor Pirates are extremely strict in their selection process for recruited crew members.
Given the Azure Emperor Pirates' consistent policy of "better to have none than to have something of poor quality," this is definitely not an exaggeration...
Recruiting 30,000 crew members in just ten days still requires meticulous attention to detail.
In other words, the Azure Emperor Pirates can recruit more troops in a short period of time.
What does this mean?
This means that the Azure Emperor Pirates have completely taken control of the Azure Emperor Territory.
This means that the Azure Emperor Pirates have become a political organization comparable to the World Government.
Although it is not as large as the World Government.
But even at its smallest, it's still a political organization, just like the World Government.
Faced with them, the navy will no longer be a navy representing justice, but rather the army of an enemy nation.
Once they begin their campaign against the Azure Emperor Pirates, they will likely face resistance from all sides within the Azure Emperor Territory.
Even the Five Elders wore extremely grim expressions upon hearing this news. "It seems I underestimated the Azure Emperor, and the Azure Emperor Pirates."
"I never imagined a pirate crew could achieve this level of influence. The Azure Emperor Pirates have wielded such power in this region." "For the World Government, those vicious pirates aren't the most frightening; the most terrifying are pirates like Zesi, or even Roger's 'Top 5 Pirates.'"
"We must devise a plan to deal with the Azure Emperor Pirates!"
"Given the Azure Emperor's strength, and considering he just recruited 30,000 troops, it's virtually impossible to attack his Azure Emperor Territory by force. We must suppress the Azure Emperor Pirates across the board, both in terms of fishing boats and the economy."
"Yes, the Azure Emperor can be demonized on the fishing boat!"
"We can exert comprehensive economic pressure, but we can still maintain the upper hand in economic matters!"
"We plan to issue 10 trillion Beli to the New World, especially the Azure Emperor Territory, to acquire all resources within the Azure Emperor Territory, particularly agricultural resources!"
