Chapter 643: The Impact of the Great Pirate Era - Ancient Weapons?

The Flying Pirates are recovering and expanding rapidly.

Many fleet captains died in battle, and the positions of fleet captains could not be filled in the first time.

To become a fleet captain, one needs to demonstrate one's strength, although after the war, "Golden Lion" Shiki promoted several pirates who had the strength to become fleet captains.

But this cannot completely make up for the losses in the bloody battle.

Even in the last bloody battle, the losses were far less than in this one.

In addition to Xirik's ability, the Flying Pirates are also too famous, making them the primary target of too many powerful people.

If the strength is too strong and there are too many strong people, then naturally there will be more pressure.

Due to the loss of manpower, the dead fleet naturally disintegrated directly.

The sea areas controlled by the fleet were also swallowed up by other fleets around it.

It does not belong to them in name, but in reality it has fallen into their hands.

If the Flying Pirates deploy a new fleet here in the future, it would certainly be no problem for them to take back these territories, provided they demonstrate their strength.

If you don't have enough strength, you will have to swallow this loss.

After all, strength is what matters among pirates, especially for a large organization like the Hiku Pirates, which uses it to determine their status.

Competition is inevitable, and maintaining a certain level of competition is beneficial to the overall development of the pirate group.

The Tyrant Fleet, whose combat power was well preserved in the bloody battle, naturally expanded a lot of territory in the first place, just to grab it first.

Xirik's ability did not have much impact on them.

They already knew about Xirik's abilities, so they were always on guard. In this situation, Xirik's abilities were naturally ineffective.

By the end of the war when Xirik's abilities had improved further, except for a few powerful fighters such as "Tyrant" Gurado, the other cadres of the Tyrant Fleet had left the core of the battlefield to preserve their strength.

After all, strong men appear one after another, and they might be targeted by some monster if they are not careful.

With the opening of the Great Pirate Era, many pirates emerged from the vast territory of the Flying Pirates.

The first thing the Flying Pirates did after returning was to suppress them.

Tell them who is the master of this sea.

It's not just the Flying Pirates, all pirate groups can be said to do this.

Even the Pluto Pirates will recruit some powerful pirates.

Due to the heavy losses in the war, they must restore their strength as soon as possible.

These new pirates of the Great Pirate Era are naturally their targets. They want to absorb them and transform them into their own strength.

The Flying Pirates have a sufficient base, so there is no need to expand.

And the central part of the New World is in chaos.

The Bone Demon Pirates, the Silver Axe Pirates, and many other ambitious pirate groups immediately set their sights on the remaining territory of the John Pirates.

With the death of Captain John, the John Pirates naturally fell apart.

Several powerful cadres formed their own pirate groups, took over the remaining forces of John's Pirate Group, and also occupied large tracts of John's Pirate Group's territory.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates ate a piece of meat.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates need to recover their strength and do not want to conflict with other forces so early.

The southern waters at the front of the New World are no less chaotic.

Many pirates died in battle, resulting in a lot of vacant territories.

The Beasts Pirates are short on troops, so the Barbarossa Kingdom is enough, and there are too many territories outside to occupy.

At least it is impossible to expand now.

During this period, each force also needs to deal with the impact brought by the Great Pirate Era.

Fighting, annexation, surrender, all kinds of situations are repeated in the new world.

Despite the chaos, there were no major conflicts because the time had not yet come.

All parties suffered heavy losses in the bloody battle and needed sufficient time to recover.

When recovery is almost complete, war will break out.

Now, except for the fierce competition in the southern waters of the New World.

After the John Pirates' territory was divided up, the top forces stopped licking their wounds and continuously sent personnel to various parts of the territory to deal with the pirates who were causing trouble.

The impact of the Great Pirate Era was that there were only a few outstanding pirates, and the bigger problem was their number. If a pirate came to cause trouble today, another pirate would come to cause trouble tomorrow.

The new pirates have no fear at all.

Although its strength may not be strong, its victories are continuous, causing considerable losses to various forces and being quite troublesome.

Each top force needs to continuously send personnel to maintain the stability of their territory.

A group like the Hiku Pirates would actually have an advantage in facing this situation.

The advantage of this situation is that the military strength can grow rapidly, and the bloody battle has led to a sharp decline in the number of pirates in the New World.

However, the outbreak of the Great Pirate Era caused the number of pirates to continue to expand. The elite pirates who emerged from the countless pirates in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line would continue to pour into the New World, providing fresh blood for the New World.

Perhaps in a few years, it will surpass the 500,000 or 600,000 people at its peak.

Compared to the Four Seas, the number of pirates in the New World will not increase by dozens of times, maybe two or three times is the limit.

This will inevitably lead to the expansion of the power of the top pirate groups.

Especially the Flying Pirates, which have great prestige. Joining the Flying Pirates is undoubtedly the goal of many young pirates.

Even if they suffered huge losses in the bloody battle, they still possessed an overall combat power that other forces could not match.

Among the many top forces, the Flying Pirates are likely to recover in advance.

The huge size is enough to accommodate more pirates.

At this time, the headquarters of the Flying Pirates, the archipelago floating in the sky, belongs to the sky kingdom of "Golden Lion" Shiki.

"Reinhardt, what do you think? Is there any possibility for this news?"

"Golden Lion" Shiki looked at his left and right arms.

At this time, Atlas had been equipped with the most advanced mechanical arm. Although it had some impact on his strength, it was not significant.

The country of peace.

This was the information Jabba provided to Shiki before he left.

"This news doesn't seem fake. Jabba has no reason to lie, or he won't be able to withstand our revenge. There should be traces of ancient weapons in Wano Country."

Reinhardt nodded in confirmation.

"But now is not the time to intervene in Wano Country. We need to recover our strength first and grow stronger. If we act rashly, it is likely to cause a joint resistance from other forces."

"We will intervene when the time is right."

Shi Ji's heart was filled with excitement. He finally had the chance to get the ancient weapon he had always dreamed of.

After seeing the might of the World Government, he knew that he could only accomplish his goal by harnessing the power of ancient weapons.

That day is not far away.
