"Hahaha, that was great! Zesi, you're getting stronger and stronger. I noticed Garp's arm was hanging down the whole time, so you did it, didn't you!"
The former members of Roger Pirates, Oro Jackson, drank and laughed as they spoke.
"To be precise, Garp injured himself!" Zesi said with a laugh.
"Oh, I never imagined you'd push Garp to this point!" Rayleigh exclaimed in shock.
Rayleigh had seen Garp's entire arm hanging down earlier, clearly indicating that the arm had suffered a severe injury that was unlikely to heal. Otherwise, given Garp's physique, this would never have happened.
At first, Rayleigh thought that Garp had been careless and underestimated Zesi's strength.
Rayleigh was even more surprised when he heard Zesi say that Garp had injured himself!
Garp injured himself; that is, Garp used a move he couldn't withstand.
Rayleigh was even more surprised that Garp was able to use this technique than that Garp was actually injured.
This shows that, given the circumstances, Garp felt that only by using such self-destructive attacks could he deal with Zesi's attacks.
The fact that Zesi was forced to use such an attack shows just how terrifying Zesi attack was at the time.
"Heh heh, Space-Shattering Strike? Zesi is indeed the target I chose. That attack even shattered space itself. However, I'll find a way to counter it sooner or later," Bullet said at this moment.
"You even shattered space! Zesi, you're way too monstrous!" Everyone exclaimed, their mouths agape.
"Haha, it's mainly the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"
That's amazing enough!
The crowd roared in celebration.
" Zesi, what are your plans? Since you've gathered us all here, you must already have your own ideas!" Rayleigh said after everyone had laughed and joked for a while.
Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Zesi's expression also turned serious.
"I'm sure you all understand from what we've been through lately that the World Government will never let us go. Even Rayleigh was attacked and injured by the Navy, and Bullet was attacked by the Buster Call, ultimately ending up in Impel Down. I'm sure you've all been hunted by the Navy or the World Government to some extent!" Zesi said. "Don't even mention the Navy and the World Government, other pirates and Pirate Hunter are all watching us. If we relax even slightly, they'll pounce. This time on Sabaody Archipelago, we were attacked by several waves of bounty hunters. Their madness is really persistent! If Captain Roger were still alive, and the pirate crew were still around, they wouldn't dare to do this even if they had ten lives!"
"Besides, many great pirate crews in the New World are also searching for us, especially the Big Mom Pirates, the Silver Axe Pirates, and the remnants of the Golden Lion Pirates!"
Everyone became very solemn when these things were mentioned.
Their experiences during this period left them feeling very frustrated.
They followed Roger to sea and were always the freest pirates on the high seas.
Who would have thought that one day they would be universally hated and hunted down like this?
They did not regret going to sea with Roger.
They even felt that this was the proudest thing they had ever done in their lives.
They would have no regrets, even if it meant their deaths.
However, their experiences during this period were truly frustrating for them.
"Whether it's the World Government Navy, the pirates of the New World, or those bounty hunters, they all think that Captain Roger is dead and the Roger Pirates have disbanded, making us just a bunch of ragtag rabble. That's why they dare to act so recklessly. So I'm going to establish a pirate crew to rebuild the deterrent power of our Pirate King lineage, and also to provide a protective umbrella for some crew members who want to retire. Anyone who dares to attack someone from our Pirate King lineage is an enemy of our pirate crew!" Zesi said.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, many people fell silent.
In fact, in the eyes of many members of Roger Pirates, their only captain was Roger.
It's difficult to get them to admit they have a second captain.
Moreover, after Roger's death, many people were unwilling to go to sea anymore.
Some people even wanted to become the captain themselves.
A glint flashed in Zesi's eyes; he had expected this all along.
He was very familiar with the bond between Roger and the members of the Roger Pirates.
"This pirate crew now consists of five members: myself, Bullet, Shanks, Buggy, and Easter Egg. If anyone wants to continue adventuring on the high seas, they are welcome to join!" Zesi said.
Zesi didn't care whether others wanted to join or not.
His main targets were Bullet, Shanks, and others, specifically Bullet and Shanks, who were both future Four Emperors- level powerhouses.
Bullet doesn't need any excuses; he's there, Bullet will be there.
Because in this life, Bullet's target is Zesi.
But Shanks is different.
He was also a man with ideals, with the idea of establishing his own pirate crew and becoming a captain... In order to recruit him, Zesi made up this high-sounding reason.
It was this set of reasons, coupled with Zesi's guidance over the years, that led Shanks to abandon his plan to build his own pirate crew and Zesi Zess's. "Besides that, I also want to establish a yakuza organization called Dragon Hall..."
Has Wenlai Zesi grown to this point?
"Shattering space itself... it seems this year's Tremor-Tremor Devil Fruit User are even more innovative than previous generations!"
" Sengoku, you did the right thing. If you weren't confident you could take him down, there was no need to fight to the death. Preserving your own strength was the priority. The seas are teeming with pirates right now; one more won't make a difference. Let these pirates fight each other out!"
After Sengoku, Garp, and the others returned to Marine Headquarters, Kong told Garp to go and recover from his injuries. Then he took Sengoku to see the Five Elders Five Elders explained the situation of the battle to them.
Upon hearing Sengoku's report, the Five Elders were secretly shocked, but they quickly regained their composure.
"Five of you, what should we do about Wenlai Zesi's nickname? If this isn't handled properly, Wenlai Zesi might come back to cause trouble for the Celestial Dragons. That reckless guy always keeps his word."
"Since he's so arrogant, let's give him a grand title. Let's use his attack on Impel Down as the reason. As the only pirate in hundreds of years to successfully attack Impel Down and rescue Impel Down, he certainly deserves a grand title!"
"Isn't he going to become the Emperor of the Sea and rule the ocean? Let's call him the Azure Emperor!" "Have the newspapers give him a prominent mention; they can call him the World's Strongest Person!"
"Yes, let's choose two more powerful pirates in the New World to be emperors, one emperor and two kings. Let the pirates fight for it themselves; it'll reduce the pressure on the World Government and the Navy!" "Agreed!" "Understood!"
As expected of a seasoned political manipulator, he used flattery to push Zesi into the eye of the storm, and then used two titles to incite pirates on the high seas to fight each other.
Even if the pirates know it's a scheme by the World Government, they will still fall for it.
For pirates, wealth, fame, face, bounty, and reputation are what they value most and what they pursue most.
It can be predicted that after the emergence of this emperor and the two sovereigns, the New World will inevitably be engulfed in a bloody storm.
