Chapter 1773 The Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea (7)

He did not immediately choose to retreat from the first route, but struggled unwillingly.

Originally, he planned to join forces with other supernovas to fight against the Blackbeard Pirates, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The other supernovas were far less powerful than the Kidd Pirates, and they were defeated in the battle with the Blackbeard Pirates.

If these supernovas had not secretly joined the BIGMOM Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, I'm afraid all of them would have been completely expelled from the First Route by the Blackbeard Pirates.

However, Kidd is not the kind of person who is willing to be inferior to others.

Faced with the recruitment of the BIGMOM Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, he refused without hesitation.

After this, the First Route became a completely forbidden area for the Kidd Pirates, and they had nowhere else to go.

In desperation, Kidd could only lead the remnants of the Kidd Pirates and flee to the fifth route in a panic, barely trying to survive.

After half a year of rest, Kidd's injury finally healed.

He picked himself up and was determined to restore the glory of the Kidd Pirates.

So, he began to recruit pirates everywhere and expand his team, hoping to rebuild the former glory of the Kidd Pirates.

On the fifth route, the Kidd Pirates gradually gained fame.

However, their scope of activities was greatly restricted.

Since the Fifth Route is under the strict control of the Navy, the Kidd Pirates can only occupy some smaller islands, and they dare not touch those large islands and kingdoms easily.

Because once they take action against these targets, they will inevitably attract attacks from powerful naval generals.

Kizaru, who is currently stationed at the Marine Headquarters, is responsible for ensuring the unobstructed passage of the first half of the Grand Line, and will never allow any pirates to dare to cut off this important route.

Kidd knew this very well, so he always longed to return to paradise, the chaotic place that once belonged to them.

But the reality made him feel helpless.

Paradise is now occupied by the Three Emperors. Before he has enough strength to defeat the Blackbeard Pirates, Kidd really doesn't dare to provoke these three powerful beings easily.

After all, the previous confrontation with them left a deep shadow on him, making him fearful of the Three Emperors.

Therefore, the Kidd Pirates are determined to stand up again from where they once failed. They are eager to return to the first route and regain the glory and status that belong to them.

However, the Blackbeard Pirates are by no means easy to deal with.

Although the First Route is now in chaos due to the disruption of Napoleon of the Lion Pirates, and the Blackbeard Pirates have also suffered heavy losses, Kidd discovered after carefully studying the newspapers that no important members of the Blackbeard Pirates have died.

This made Kidd hesitate to return to the first route.

He knew very well that although his strength had improved in the past six months, there was still a certain gap compared to the Blackbeard Pirates.

Especially the knife that Shiryu swung at that time still makes Kidd feel frightened. He is really not sure if he can take such an attack.

Because of this, Kidd was hesitant and had not yet made up his mind to return to the first route.

Instead, he chose to wander around the Fifth Route, robbing merchant ships from time to time, or invading some islands and kingdoms in order to maintain the livelihood and activities of the pirate group.

There was even one time when the Kidd Pirates were chased by a team led by a vice admiral of the navy, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

However, the strength of the Kidd Pirates should not be underestimated after all, and a vice admiral cannot pose too much of a threat to them.

The Kidd Pirates' escape was extremely smooth, which made them almost invincible on the Fifth Route and no one could pose a threat to them.

But Kidd did not become arrogant because of this. He knew very well that being too presumptuous might attract the personal pursuit of the admiral of the navy, which would definitely not be a good thing for him and his pirate group.

Therefore, the Kidd Pirates behaved relatively well during this period and tried not to attract too much attention.

However, it was this seemingly low-key behavior that unexpectedly attracted the attention of the world government.

The World Government seems to have become interested in the performance of the Kidd Pirates and has invited them to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Kidd looked at the invitation in his hand, feeling hesitant.

At this time, his crew member spoke up: "Captain, I think we should accept this invitation. There is nothing wrong with becoming a Shichibukai. Look at the other Shichibukai, whether it is the Buggy Pirates, the Nine Snakes Pirates, or Doflamingo, Tyrant Bear, or even the former Shichibukai and now the Three Emperors and Beasts Pirates, they are all from the Shichibukai. We don't need to worry too much, this is a good opportunity for us."

Hearing the name of the Beasts Pirates, Kidd couldn't help but think of their past glory.

The Beasts Pirates also served as the Seven Warlords of the Sea for several years, which made Kidd start to think more about this invitation.

With the identity of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it is like putting on a layer of indestructible armor for himself. Neither the navy nor the Three Emperors can easily attack him.

This undoubtedly bought him precious time, which he could use to improve his strength and expand his influence.

However, Kidd's arrogant character was like a mountain that was difficult to cross, making it difficult for him to humble himself and accept this fact.

Just when Kidd was struggling, Killer, who was standing behind him, suddenly said, "Captain, our Kidd Pirates need time!"

Although Kira's voice was not loud, it was like a thunder, exploding in Kidd's ears.

Hearing this, Kidd slowly turned his head and stared at Kira.

Kira's eyes met Kidd's. He saw Kidd's expressionless face and was silent for a moment.

Finally, Kira took a deep breath and continued, "Captain, it has only been more than a year since our Kidd Pirates set foot on the first half of the Grand Line. And the three emperors in Paradise are all famous and powerful pirates. They have been galloping on this ocean for more than ten years, or even decades. Compared with them, our gap is still obvious. So, I think we should join the Seven Warlords of the Sea first, just like the Beasts Pirates, lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. When our strength is strong enough, or if something unexpected happens in Paradise, we will fight back to Paradise and avenge our previous shame!"

Kira's words were sincere and earnest. He knew Kidd's temper very well and understood that Kidd could not let go of his own face.
