Chapter 858 The Fallen Wang Zhi
November of the year 1500 in the Haiyuan calendar.
More than two months have passed since the war between the World Government and the pirates at G1 Fortress.
There was not much turmoil in the Flying Pirates.
The decrease in the number of fleet captains has led to a significant increase in the amount of territories ruled by the surviving fleet captains.
The increased range is basically based on strength.
Like the Tyrant Fleet led by "Tyrant" Gurado.
The number of islands he ruled had jumped from more than fifty to more than a hundred, even approaching those overlord-level pirates with smaller territories.
In order to effectively rule the vast territory.
The number of troops directly controlled by "Golden Lion" Shi Ji increased significantly, and the territory he ruled also expanded greatly.
The position of team leader was established within the Flying Pirates and was held by pirates with good strength.
This is how we manage each island.
"What a coward, Wang Zhi! You have always disdained to eat devil fruits, but now you have begun to degenerate."
Hades looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but sneer with disdain on his face.
Just a month ago, the Demon King Pirates began their "Northern Expedition" and attacked the territory of the Gofeng Pirates.
After several islands of the Gofeng Pirates were occupied by the Demon King Pirates, the Gofeng Pirates finally received the news and reacted.
There is basically no expectation for the intelligence capabilities of the Gofeng Pirates.
In the New World, there are not many pirate groups that are aware of developing their intelligence capabilities.
If you count carefully, there are only the Flying Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
Even these two pirate groups rely heavily on the intelligence power of the underground world and the Dark King.
Maybe the Demon King Pirates can also be counted. The "Demon King" Nash definitely has the awareness of developing intelligence forces.
However, the intelligence force may not be too strong.
Training intelligence personnel requires a system, specialized talents, and a foundation.
Not all pirate groups have such ability, and it takes enough time to accumulate.
Most pirate groups are unable to get the news in the first place.
Very dependent on the World Economic News newspaper.
The "Demon King" Nash has a very proud heart. He is hostile to the Five Peaks Pirates who once defeated him, plundered a large amount of territory from the Demon King Pirates, and brought shame to them.
Especially the Great One Piece Naoki, he must be defeated.
Moreover, he defeated Wang Zhi when he was still at his peak, and used Wang Zhi as a stepping stone to completely become the sole overlord of the southeastern part of the New World.
Not only does he have to win, but the pirate group also has to win the war.
The Tyrant Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates are restraining each other, giving him this opportunity without having to worry about someone stabbing him in the back during the war.
Although only a year and a half had passed since the bloody battle, Nash didn't want to endure it any longer.
As long as we win the war and seize Wang Zhi's territory, we will have everything.
The huge prestige will attract more pirates to join his army.
However, Nash did not think of defeating the Gofeng Pirates in one battle.
In terms of military strength and prestige, the Demon King Pirates are still at a disadvantage.
Since Nash is not in a hurry to expand his military forces and pays more attention to the quality of members and overall stable development, the recovery of the number of members cannot be compared with that of the Five Peaks Pirates.
This war is destined to be a protracted war.
Constant training and fighting.
The theme of the struggle for hegemony is not killing, but the struggle for territory.
Next, the Tyrannosaurus Pirates and the Gofeng Pirates will start a fight around the border islands.
The king will not die at the beginning.
Most of the battles are left to the cadres under his command as the main fighting force.
It also provides experience for their growth.
The tone of this war was set from the beginning.
So on an uninhabited island on the border of the two pirate groups, the "Demon King" Nash and Wang Zhi fought for three days and three nights.
After the battle, the two left and returned to their base camp.
The two top pirates sat firmly in the back.
The front line is left to the pirates under your command.
Nash has confidence in his companions. The Demon King Pirates have been developing for many years and are not just sitting there to watch.
During the bloody battle, Nash already had an idea of the overall combat effectiveness of the Five Peaks Pirates.
Today's Demon King Pirates are no weaker than the Gofeng Pirates.
First, he defeated the Gofeng Pirates at the pirate group level.
Perhaps at some appropriate time in the future, Nash will take the initiative to start the final battle and defeat Wang Zhi personally.
The previous battle was just a signal for the official start of the war.
By the way, let’s find out how strong Wang Zhi is in combat.
And set yourself a goal to beat, to surpass.
During the period after the war, friction between the pirate groups on both sides intensified, and well-known cadres had clashed more than once.
The "Devil" Nash has started his long-awaited hard training, he wants to become stronger.
He remained focused until the Gofeng Pirates and Wang Zhi were completely defeated.
This war revealed a lot of information.
One very direct thing is that Wang Zhi has become a devil fruit user.
I don't know when, maybe after the bloody battle, he showed his devil fruit ability.
Parahuman-type Island-Island Fruit.
It can allow the person with special abilities to merge with the island.
And gain the power to control the island.
And this is also the main reason why Hades looks down on Wang Zhi.
Because for Wang Zhi, this devil fruit cannot greatly enhance his combat power.
There is also an important drawback that if the island is damaged, the island itself will also be injured.
If it were in other places, the Island Fruit might be very difficult to solve.
But this is a new world.
With so many top-level monsters around, the Island-Island Fruit can be said to be completely useless when facing truly terrifying enemies.
Especially when facing Whitebeard, a shock wave could cause serious damage to his body.
However, this is also a rare case, and most people do not have the terrifying destructive power of Whitebeard.
In the real war process, it is still very difficult.
Due to the huge size of the island, every move it makes has terrifying destructive power, and it can also control everything on the island.
This also shows that Wang Zhi has lost the determination to continue fighting for supremacy.
He cares more about his own ruling position and control over the power of his subordinates.
All he wants is to protect his own little piece of land.
Although Hades despised Wang Zhi.
But we have to admit that Wang Zhi is indeed old, over 60 years old, and it is difficult for him to have the vigorous energy he had when he was young.
He was being suppressed by the "Golden Lion" Shiki from above, and there were so many monsters below, parallel to him and approaching.
Becoming the user of the Island Fruit is undoubtedly a more appropriate choice.
At such an old age, having reached the limit and having no further ambition, it is understandable.
Hades seemed to be looking down on others, but he was actually expressing his feelings.
After all, the only old-line pirates left today are Silver Axe and Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi has lost his spirit and doesn’t know how long he can hold on.
And there is not much time left for Silver Axe.
The Silver Axe Pirates were defeated when they failed to drive the Tyrannosaurus Pirates out of Wano Country and completely destroy the Tyrannosaurus Pirates.
Some people believe that Wang Zhi eating the devil fruit means that he is stronger, more dominant, and able to defend his position.
This is exactly the guarantee for the Gofeng Pirates to start the countdown.
In Hades' memory, the future Wang Zhi will be surpassed by the four new sea emperors, while he himself will hide on the Beehive Island with the power of the Island-Island Fruit.
Continued to hold on until the end of the war at the top.
He was defeated by the Blackbeard Pirates and became a stepping stone to become the new emperor of the sea, but even his fruit ability was taken away.
At that time, he was nearly ninety years old.
In today's ocean, there are many strong people, and if you are weak, everything will be taken away from you.
If you don't work hard, others will catch up with you.
The territory of the New World is so small. When you lose your deterrent power, who else will they target if not you?
Wang Zhi obviously couldn't hold on that long.
Either die or surrender.
John, Silver Axe and Wang Zhi.
How glorious it was after the Rocks Pirates disbanded.
Although they are on par with the Flying Pirates founded by "Golden Lion" Shiki.
However, the rapid development of the Flying Pirates was helped by an invisible force.
In terms of age, the three of them represent an era.
Just like the four veteran kings of the Rocks Pirates.
"Death Gun" Leon, "Werewolf" Quiro, "Violent King" Kosa and "Golden King" Donovan.
They and Rox D. Gibeck also represent an era.
