Chapter 960: The Black Emperor Pirates' First Stage

Although the Flying Pirates are still the number one force in the ocean, they have lost the terrifying dominance they had in the past.

In the last era, he was able to reach the top by defeating three opponents at the same time.

And now?

Even with young monsters like Ciel and Goenitz, he couldn't defeat three alone.

The sea emperor of the new era competes not only with the captain's combat power, but also with the number of strong men.

At the very least, you must have two top fighters and many high-end fighters.

Therefore, if you want to become the emperor of the sea, it is not enough to rely solely on the captain's power.

The crew must be strong enough.

In Hades' opinion, the Black Emperor Pirates led by Teach can inherit the throne of the Flying Pirates and become the strongest pirate group.

However, it is difficult to achieve the deterrence and dominance of the Hiku Pirates during their peak period.

The sea is not static, times have changed.

Teach can cultivate a large number of high-end combat forces by hunting devil fruits, but cultivating top-level combat forces is not that easy.

It takes more than just a top-tier devil fruit.

Of course, inviting other top monsters to join is another matter.

Today's Black Emperor Pirates have not yet demonstrated the potential to surpass other top forces.

It still takes time to develop and requires more top-level combat power.

Hades is full of expectations for the future development of the Black Emperor Pirates, but he knows that Marshall D. Teach alone is not enough.

So he arranged for the child Lubbock, who knew everything, to become Teach's brother, while secretly guiding Teach's development.

He also arranged for his son Harolant, who had eaten the Rebound Fruit and had excellent abilities, to join Teach's army. Although he was not the top monster, he was guaranteed to be a top combat force.

It’s a pity that his other son, Sorenson, had no intention of joining Teach’s team.

Possessing the Rubik's Cube Fruit that symbolizes space cutting, Sorenson is a child that Hades values ​​very much.

In fact, there is nothing to regret. Hades had already anticipated that Sorenson was unwilling to join Teach's team.

Hades can guide, but not dictate, the future of his children.

Since Sorenson is unwilling to join, the Black Emperor Pirates will lose a future top fighter, but the actual impact is not that big.

Hades has done enough.

Teach was brought up and had two sons.

The future development of the Black Emperor Pirates still depends on themselves.

It is impossible for Hades to directly arrange for a large number of strong people to join the Black Emperor Pirates.

Then the establishment of the Black Emperor Pirates is meaningless.

In today's new world, if the Black Emperor Pirates fail to achieve the level he expected, he can only say that he was wrong.

It can be said that the only situation in the sea today that is similar to what Hades remembered is the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even because of past wars, the power of the Whitebeard Pirates has weakened a little.

Although it is developing smoothly now, it has been caught up and surpassed by many younger generations.

Even without Kozuki Oden, the Hiku Pirates still exist today and have always suppressed the Whitebeard Pirates in prestige.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates cannot become the strongest pirates in the new era.

What remains unchanged is the terrifying fighting power of Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate, which is capable of destroying the world.

Relying on his absolute strength alone, plus the fact that the Whitebeard Pirates are not weak in power, "Phoenix" Marco has also gained considerable fame in the New World, and Newgate has also earned the title of Emperor of the Sea.

"It's not that I won't do anything to you if I don't have evidence. Sometimes, all I need to do something to you is a reason."

Hades looked away from the information and then laughed inexplicably.

The Black Emperor Pirates are still too immature.

The mysterious disappearance of the two princes is no small matter, especially for the Drum Kingdom, which has considerable influence on the sea and is able to participate in the World Conference.

Even if there is no evidence, it is enough to suspect the Black Emperor Pirates.

After all, there are not many forces that can do such a thing.

He had never been missing before, but he disappeared when the Black Emperor Pirates passed by. Who else could we suspect if not the Black Emperor Pirates?

Moreover, there was a period of time when the Navy did not have a grasp of the Black Emperor Pirates' whereabouts due to attacks by Sea Kings.

The Black Emperor Pirates' strategy of confusion can confuse ordinary naval generals, but it cannot confuse the high-ranking officials of the Navy Headquarters.

Even without evidence, just guessing, there is a strong suspicion on the Black Emperor Pirates.

As for the internal power struggle within the Drum Kingdom, it can be eliminated with a little understanding.

The possibility of being framed by others cannot be ruled out.

Of course, you need a reason to do anything.

The Drum Kingdom will give this reason to the Navy.

The Drum Kingdom needs an outlet.

When something like this happens in the kingdom, someone has to take the blame.

Just as Hades expected.

After some inquiries, the Drum Kingdom did not find any trace of the two missing princes.

To this end, he contacted the World Government directly and asked it to arrest the Black Emperor Pirates.

The two princes were captured by the Black Emperor Pirates.

For the Drum Kingdom, there is no need for evidence, their words are the evidence, and they demand that the navy take action against the Black Emperor Pirates.

The truth is that the Black Emperor Pirates themselves are very suspicious.

The Drum Kingdom is not on the route to the New World.

The Black Emperor Pirates deliberately took a detour to the waters around the Drum Kingdom, taking an arc, and anyone would feel that something was wrong.

The Black Emperor Pirates really handled this matter too roughly.

There's nothing we can do about it, as these members are either from all over the world or from the New World.

Not at all familiar with the Grand Route.

Moreover, with the intelligence capabilities of the World Government, it can be found that the Black Emperor Pirates have purchased the Eternal Hand from the Drum Kingdom.

This alone is enough to lock it down directly.

It can be said that the first hurdle the Black Emperor Pirates will face after setting foot on the Grand Line has arrived.
