Chapter 1221 Half-year Situation
September of the Haiyuan calendar, 1509.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
During the past six months, most attention has been focused on the former territory of the Flying Pirates.
The Flying Pirates were completely split.
The Tyrant Pirates, the Speedy Pirates, and many other powerful pirate groups were officially established.
Goenitz, the "Breath of Mist", has disappeared, and all his territories have been taken over by the Tyrant Pirates.
The force that originally bordered the Kingdom of Chronos in the east changed from the Flying Pirates to the Tyrant Pirates.
The Tyrant Pirates are from the Chronos Kingdom. Years of planning have paid off, and the isolation zone in the middle has been secretly annexed and controlled by the Chronos Kingdom.
The sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Chronos extended further eastward.
Most of the Feikong Pirates' territory was divided up by a number of powerful pirate groups.
The entire new world suddenly saw the emergence of several overlord-level forces.
But the most eye-catching one is the Black Emperor Pirates.
A quarter of the Flying Pirates' territory was annexed by the Black Emperor Pirates.
After the war, most of the pirates rescued by Teach from the Flying Pirates joined the Black Emperor Pirates.
The power of the Black Emperor Pirates has expanded rapidly.
In addition to the territory and number of pirates, there are also a large number of high-end combat forces of the Flying Pirates.
Even including the powerful fighter "Xiru of Rain".
When the news came out that Shiryu had joined the Black Emperor Pirates, countless people were shocked.
This is a top-level fighter. As long as he is willing to form a pirate group, the New World will have one more overlord-level pirate group.
Xiliu has no interest in competing for supremacy alone.
He is self-aware and would rather follow the monster Teach.
What's more, with his wisdom, he could guess that it was Teach who saved him at the critical moment of the war.
He has a good impression of the Black Emperor Pirates, and had many interactions with members of the Black Emperor Pirates during the Golden Sea Battle.
Joining the Black Emperor Pirates, which is at its peak, is more in line with his wishes.
The strength and courage displayed by Teach were enough to convince him.
Shiryu has no sense of belonging to the Flying Pirates.
For him, the Flying Pirates were more like a platform to help him escape from the prison of Impel Down and make him stronger.
Now that "Golden Lion" Shiki is dead and the Flying Pirates are disbanded, he naturally has to find a way out.
Although this choice was unexpected, it was not surprising.
If he had that ambition, he would have become the captain of the fleet long ago instead of staying at the core of the Sky Pirates.
As for other strong men, they are not worthy of his surrender.
People tend to strive for higher positions, so naturally there are many pirates willing to join the Black Emperor Pirates.
Combined with the existing strength of the Black Emperor Pirates, the total number of pirates in the Black Emperor Pirates suddenly exceeded 100,000.
From this time on, the Black Emperor Pirates truly replaced the Flying Pirates.
Fortunately, the Black Emperor Pirates have no intention of continuing to expand their territory.
So the imagined war did not break out.
Faced with the powerful Black Emperor Pirates, the remaining forces of the Flying Pirates who did not join the Black Emperor Pirates could only temporarily avoid the attack.
The remaining territory of the Flying Pirates is still huge.
Enough to support the numerous forces that could cause the Flying Pirates to split.
Not only that, Loki, the prince of the giant kingdom, who listened to Hades' advice and waited patiently, understood what the opportunity Hades was talking about.
He led the powerful Evil God Pirates, expanded outward with Elbaf as the center, and occupied a large amount of territory that originally belonged to the Flying Pirates.
Since the members of the Flying Pirates all knew each other's strength, no matter whether they were strong or weak, they did not fight too much.
The situation in the entire sea area was not extremely chaotic, but rather formed a strange balance.
People must be content.
The huge amount of territory is enough to meet the needs of many forces.
Compared with collecting protection fees, operating a territory can bring greater profits.
The Flying Pirates have never relied on collecting protection fees to maintain their development.
Most of the members of the Flying Pirates are aware of this.
Each fleet captain previously commanded a sea area. When managing the territory, Reinhardt had given instructions on how to manage it, some commercial activities, and contacts with underground forces.
It only takes a little time to clear up the twists and turns.
Fighting is not what they want.
The key is to develop stably and gain profits.
The main reason is that the Black Emperor Pirates are not too greedy and leave enough space for other forces.
