Chapter 208

After all, he was just a remnant of the old era. Killing him wouldn't bring any significant gains; at most, it would mean that no one would interfere when expanding in the waters near Hachinosu.

"As expected of Lord Night King!!"

Everyone became even more excited.

Even after defeating a formidable enemy like Ochoku, he remained as calm as ever!

Such spirit! No wonder they follow them!

"Master, what should we do with this guy?"

Luna flew back.

She was carrying a man in her arms.

Doro.

This guy just suffered a severe blow from Luna, being knocked into the sea with a single strike.

However, its vitality is indeed quite tenacious; it hasn't died yet.

Of course, this only applies to those who are not dead.

Countless bones in its body were broken, and its body looked limp and disgusting, like a slime that had come to life.

After being ravaged by thunder, flames, and gales, its body surface was almost charred and covered with numerous cuts left by sharp wind blades.

"This guy's ability is actually quite useful."

Naito said this, his eyes flickering slightly.

Naito activated the Dream-Dream Fruit's power and tried to pull the guy into the Dream World.

But it failed.

He's a well-known pirate in the New World, so his willpower wouldn't be that weak.

"Then let's take it back first."

Naito didn't care. "Cuff them with Seastone."

He also has no shortage of Seastone.

I brought back a batch of Seastone when I went to Wano Country before.

Not to mention that the quarry in Udon had long since fallen into Naito's hands.

"Yes."

Luna nodded slightly.

Let's go.

Naito said, "Next, let's take over the countries near Hachinosu."

There are also six non- World Government Member States near this island.

Including the countries he had conquered before, the number of countries under his control was already close to twenty.

This is only what can be called a country.

In fact, there are many inhabited islands scattered in this sea area, but the population of these islands is not large enough to form a country; they are just some villages or towns.

It's an island like Usopp's hometown in the original work.

Even if you add up the entire population, I don't know if it exceeds one hundred million.

Could bringing all these people into the Dream World as Hub bring it closer to the real Dream World?

Naito himself didn't know.

But anyway, just start doing it.

Then the huge white cloud quickly drifted away.

The remaining pirates on Hachinosu then peeked out in terror.

Looking at the island, now a scene of utter devastation, everyone's faces were filled with bewildered shock.

The New World is truly about to change.

Marine Headquarters.

"What?"

The voice of the Sengoku carried an indescribable astonishment, "Ochoku has already been killed?"

"Yes."

The CP0 agent on the other end of the phone said with some regret, "Ochoku's pirates were almost completely wiped out. Ochoku himself was beheaded by World with a single sword strike. Only Ghost Shadow Doro was seriously injured and taken away by that group."

"So fast..."

Sengoku's brow furrowed. "In other words, World is stronger than we thought!"

It's fair to say that World has become much stronger than when he last clashed with Zephyr!

According to Zephyr last year, while World's abilities were troublesome, they were limited to mobility; his strength in direct combat was not much greater than Zephyr's.

At that time, Zephyr's rehabilitation was not yet complete, and his strength was much weaker than it is now, let alone compared to Ochoku.

"World and his group have left Hachinosu. Their next target should be several countries near Hachinosu. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we would appreciate it if you could make a decision on how to deal with them as soon as possible."

CP0 hung up the phone on his own initiative.

The Sengoku, however, fell into a long period of contemplation.

What should we do?

Or rather, what can be done?

Judging from the mobility shown by World and his crew in conquering those countries, they probably wouldn't even need a day to conquer the countries near Hachinosu.

Naito and his team couldn't even get there in time.

Are we really going to leave Borsalino to deal with World and his gang all by himself?

Well.

Sengoku shook his head helplessly.

In that case, there's nothing to hesitate about.

A sea area in the New World.

Several warships are moving rapidly across the sea.

On the deck, Kizaru was sitting at a table, enjoying a hearty meal.

This man, who always seemed a bit lazy, was now eating with a truly hearty gusto, almost reaching out with both hands to grab the food.

Just then, Naito's Den Den Mushi rang again.

"Oh?"

Kizaru wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and immediately turned his gaze over. "Has there been a result regarding Hachinosu?"

Not long ago, they received a call from headquarters informing them that World's crew had attacked Hachinosu and utterly routed Ochoku Pirates.

"No way? How can it be that fast?"

Binz swallowed unconsciously.

Naito had only instructed the kitchen to prepare food for Admiral Kizaru when he received news of the impending war.

And Admiral Kizaru has only just started eating.

Sorry, it's that fast.

Naito answered the phone.

"Breaking News,"

The solemn voice of Fleet Admiral Sengoku came through the Den Den Mushi: "The battle on Hachinosu is over. Ochoku has been killed by World."

"What?"

The Vice Admiral Gion's red lips parted slightly in surprise, "The battle has been decided so quickly?"

"It can only be said that World's strength far exceeded our expectations!"

Sengoku said, "And it's not just him who's powerful; his criminals are equally extraordinary! Besides those giant beasts and the criminals in Impel Down, that Lunarian Tribe woman has now decisively defeated Ghost Shadow Doro under Ochoku's command! She's become even stronger!"

Gion frowned. "In that case, the power that World possesses is in no way inferior to that of the Charlotte Family or the Beasts Pirates!"

"Even at the cadre level, it's even stronger."

As Kizaru devoured his food, he mumbled, "Seriously, while Ochoku has fallen, an even more terrifying monster has been born."

"Therefore, Fleet Admiral Sengoku,"

Naito asked, "What should we do next?"

"As originally planned, protecting Affiliated Nation is the top priority!"

Sengoku said, "As for World and his group, if your forces were to go to war with them now, the consequences might be unbearable for us."

"As long as they don't attack the Affiliated Nation, leave them alone."

"In that case, haven't I made a wasted trip?"

Kizaru complained somewhat, "Mr. Sengoku, you can't skimp on overtime pay."

"Ultimately, is it because we are not strong enough?"

Naito smirked. "I understand, Mr. Sengoku. That's fine. I've said before that I'd deal with those guys myself."

Let them be arrogant for a while longer.

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a few seconds of Sengoku's somewhat strange voice, "It's good that you can think so positively."

In short, the navy has given up interfering with World and his group's actions.

Meanwhile, Whole Cake Island.

"Was that old bastard Ochoku taken down?"

Charlotte Linlin's expression kept changing.

That old fox who had occupied Hachinosu for decades was killed so easily by that bastard World.

So, does that mean World's power is far greater than I expected?

So, should we organize a fleet to attack World next?

Charlotte Linlin hesitated.

Although she hesitated, Zeus did not stop for a moment.

White clouds raced across the sea surrounding Hachinosu, conquering two more countries in just one afternoon.
