Chapter 239
At that very moment, the sound of howling wind suddenly arose.
The drowsy soldier rubbed his eyes and subconsciously raised his head.
He was completely stunned at first glance.
Then, trembling with fear, he collapsed to the ground, screaming, "Ah!!!"
He couldn't even issue a warning; his brain could only produce incoherent, shrill screams.
A massive island, over ten kilometers in diameter, is plummeting from the sky with the force of thunder and lightning!
It was falling so fast that even sound could hardly keep up with its speed!
Faced with such a natural disaster, what can we do besides scream?
However, at that very moment, three figures soared into the sky from a nearby town.
"Fist Bone: Impact!"
"Ice Glove!"
"Smashing Short Strike!"
The island that fell from the sky was instantly shattered, turning into countless large and small fragments that crashed down.
But these fragments are enough.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
This country is experiencing an unprecedented meteor shower.
The smallest of the falling debris was several hundred meters in size, and the largest was even over a thousand meters.
Amidst the deafening roar, and unsurprisingly, the entire island was reduced to ruins.
When the dust finally settled, three people stood quietly on it.
"It failed."
Zephyr's lips curled into a sneer, his brows furrowed. "We didn't even sense the Golden Lion's presence before the attack arrived."
"He probably guessed there would be an ambush."
Admiral Aokiji tilted his head back, his voice calm, "So they were able to fly very high and then drop the island down."
"Just tell them you can't do that!"
Garp the Hero gritted his teeth, "Damn the Five Elders, why did they have to incite this country to rebel! Although most of the citizens were relocated, haven't almost all of those who stayed behind died?"
"Hey, Mr. Garp, isn't it a bit inappropriate to insult the Five Elders?"
Aokiji scratched the back of his head. "Although this battle plan is indeed ridiculous."
"Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, let's hurry up and call the fleet over for a search and rescue!"
Zephyr said in a deep voice.
"But,"
Aokiji casually remarked, "In that case, there won't be a chance to stop Golden Lion anytime soon."
Zephyr remained silent.
Given the Golden Lion's cunning, he would never easily reveal himself.
Unable to ascertain his whereabouts, the government was unable to stop his expansion.
This is troublesome.
Shortly after dawn, the country's plight made the newspapers.
The New World was in an uproar.
Now everyone saw the consequences of rebelling against the Golden Lion.
As a result, no one dared to resist anymore.
The pirates under Golden Lion's command quickly conquered all the non- World Government Member States in this sea area, and even the Affiliated Nation trembled in fear.
While the World Government and Navy increased their reinforcements around the Affiliated Nation, they did not take any effective measures to contain Golden Lion's expansion.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the World Government is prepared to let things take their course.
Thus, Golden Lion truly became the overlord of this sea, a ruler on par with Whitebeard, World, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin!
The entire New World has been almost completely divided up by them, with only a small buffer zone surviving.
Then one day, the World Economy News Paper published a special report.
The headline of the report was, "The 'Emperors' of the New World!"
Chapter 163 The Five Emperors, Yamato's Journey
Emperor.
In this report, Big News Morgans, the president of World Economy News Paper, used this term to describe the five people in the New World.
Whitebeard, Edward Newgate.
Kaido the Beasts.
Bandi World, the World Destroyer.
BIG·MOM, Charlotte Linlin.
Shiki the Golden Lion.
These five individuals have each occupied a large territory, and they have practically divided up the entire New World.
In their respective territories, they took and plundered at will, and no one could defy their will.
Even the World Government could not stop those five monsters from running rampant.
Despite being a pirate, he acts like a king, supreme and absolute, with all orders obeyed.
However, the title of king was no longer worthy of their power, authority, and status.
No country in the world has such a vast territory, nor has any king possessed such astonishing power and authority.
Therefore, Big News Morgans called them emperors.
The Emperor who reigns over the New World!
Because there were five emperors like this, they were called the Five Emperors.
Big News Morgans wrote passionately in the newspaper that a new era had arrived, and the emperors who had divided up the New World would continue to amass power, whether they liked it or not.
Because the New World is only so big, and pirates will continue to enter it.
The newly emerged forces, with nowhere to go, have two choices: join the emperor's ranks or risk everything to challenge the monsters' authority.
Regardless of their choices, as long as the emperors remain undefeated, their power will only continue to grow.
Until one day, a true champion will be chosen!
Big News Morgans concluded with this statement:
"New World, welcome to the era ruled by emperors!"
This report has sparked a considerable wave of discussion.
Some people criticize Big News Morgans for saying anything to get attention; a pirate is a pirate, why bother calling himself an emperor?
However, more people agreed with Big News Morgans's statement.
Whitebeard, Kaido, World, Charlotte Linlin, Golden Lion —these five monsters can no longer be simply described as pirates.
They possessed a powerful army, a vast territory, and a huge population.
Essentially, their territory consisted of five enormous countries.
Even if the rulers of these countries were pirates, and even if these countries were forcibly united by them through violence and threats, these countries did objectively exist.
Those five monsters truly deserve the title of the Emperor of the Sea.
The term "Five Emperors," coined by Big News Morgans, has gradually gained acceptance among many and is used to describe the five monsters of the New World.
Just as Big News Morgans had predicted, the pirates of the New World, and those about to enter the New World, reacted strongly.
"Emperor of the Sea? Hahaha! Sounds impressive, I'm going to test their mettle!"
"To fight such a monster is not the act of a wise man! I want to join Whitebeard's ranks! The world knows how valiant and powerful that man is!"
Some people admired the power and authority of emperors and longed to share in their glory.
Some covet the monsters' power and wealth, wanting to take their place.
Just as Big News Morgans said, the New World is gradually entering a brand new era.
The monsters who ushered in this era only learned of their ascension to the throne after seeing the newspapers.
Whitebeard's reaction was the most indifferent. He glanced at the newspaper, tossed it aside, and coldly commented, "Boring."
This man only cared about his children. His lifelong dream had long been realized. The reason he lent his flag to so many countries was simply because those countries had his friends.
In Wano Country.
"The emperor?"
Kaido smirked, "Hmm, hehehehe! Sounds pretty good!"
He seemed genuinely happy, even the frustration of his defeat at the Dunas Kingdom had vanished.
"But,"
The World's Strongest creature curled its lips into a dangerous smile. "Five emperors are a bit too many, aren't they?"
In Totto Land.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
Charlotte Linlin's laughter was Kaido's. "Big News Morgans was right, a new era has begun!"
"To gain an advantage in the increasingly fierce competition ahead, I need even greater strength!"
A burning ambition gleamed in Charlotte Linlin's eyes.
Elbaf, if we can obtain the power of the giants, let alone getting revenge on that bastard World, even conquering the New World will be a piece of cake!
She had personally witnessed the terrifying power possessed by that King of Giants!
Although Harald is dead, his son is still alive.
Don't underestimate the Charlotte Family's intelligence network!
Charlotte Linlin even knew that Harald was killed by his son, Loki!
Even the mighty Harald was killed, so Loki must possess even greater power!
That guy is somewhere out at sea right now, just find him!!
In the sky somewhere in the outskirts of the New World.
