Chapter 75: New World Completed (1)
"After the New World's affairs are resolved, the underground world will expand further. I want to use economic power to gradually infiltrate Paradise first."
Only Shanuo and Roy were present, and Benny was busy setting up the barbecue grill.
After hearing Lex's thoughts, Roy nodded slightly.
"That's a good idea, but I want to remind you that cutting-edge combat power is always the core, and we should move towards this direction."
What Roy said made a lot of sense. After all, this was a world where great power was concentrated in one person. A truly powerful person could easily sink an island or even destroy an entire country.
After hearing Roy's words, Lex hesitated for a moment and slowly told him about his situation.
".......Actually, I feel like my strength has been improving very slowly recently. No matter how much I practice and fight, there hasn't been much change."
Xia Nuo curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
"What's so strange about this? I've been like this for a long time. It's normal for your strength to progress slowly after breaking through a certain threshold. On the contrary, Lex, your strength has been improving by leaps and bounds every day for the past 20 years. That's actually abnormal. Now you're at the top of the ocean. If you want to make further progress, you have to rely on time to slowly hone your skills."
Lex certainly knew what Shanuo said.
"Compared to Master, I am still a little bit inferior."
The master naturally refers to the Red Earl, the man named Baroric Redfield.
"That's Senior Reid! Isn't it normal that you are worse than him? You've been so successful in the past that you don't know the growth process of a strong person."
Speaking of the Red Earl, how much weight does this title carry?
It can be said that in the sea of 1490 in the Haiyuan calendar, no one can defeat the Red Earl!
Absolutely not!
Barrorick Redfield, a man who alone can stand on equal footing with those top legends.
Because Lex has been in contact with the Red Earl, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Roger and others for many years, he always feels that his strength is still a little lacking.
It’s just that the fruit and the observation Haki are too powerful, so they narrowed the distance and touched the threshold called "king level".
Roy thought about it and said to Lex.
"Your talent is unprecedented, so you reached the top of the ocean early, but if you want to go further and reach the level of Senior Reid or even Rocks, you still need years of accumulation. At least your swordsmanship and domineering aura are not perfect, right?"
His analysis makes sense.
Benny had already prepared the barbecue, and the aroma of the spiced meat soon filled the hall.
"Eat...eat."
Benny saw that the three men were discussing some topic about strength, but the barbecue was ready, so she could only ask the three men to eat in a soft voice.
"Oh, I see."
Shanuo waved casually.
"Let's wait and see. When everything in this new world is over, I will go back to Fenghuai Qianli and discuss this matter with Master."
Lex stood up and walked towards Benny. The attraction of barbecue was still very great for the three formers who had just fought a fierce battle.
Then, the three guys with amazing appetites started to eat with big mouthfuls. Benny on the side looked at them with a satisfied smile.
.........
Ant Island, in the attic of the palace backyard.
The Golden Lion sat cross-legged as usual, discussing some things with Rhine and Gut.
"Lex said he was going to take action."
The golden lion spoke.
"It is highly likely that Shano will deal with Satan in the Far West Sea. What about Apophis? Do you want me to come forward, or should the Admiral go there in person?"
Rhine asked.
Apophis and Satan are some of the biggest pirates in the New World today. They are the "disobedient" existences in this sea area after Rex completely expelled the navy from the New World.
"Hahaha! I'll go there myself!"
"Admiral, didn't you fight enough in Marijoa? Hahaha."
Gut chuckled.
".....I always feel that after that guy went out to sea, all the limelight was completely stolen by him."
The Golden Lion said sullenly.
So it was because of this. Rhine and Gut couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It is true that Rex has always been very grand since he went to sea.
First, he came forward with lightning speed and recruited several dark kings of the underground world, except Morgans and Stusi.
He went to Sky Island again and brought back a very talented kid with big earlobes. He was placed in the CP sequence to become the top undercover agent in the future.
Once again, John was killed directly, shocking the sea!
But behind these seemingly unrelated events is Lex's real plan.
war!
A war to claim sovereignty over the new world and demonstrate one's strength!
Rex moved around among various forces, mobilized these top forces in the ocean, and dealt a heavy blow to the World Government.
The New World pirates rioted, destroyed all the naval branches, and compressed the navy's influence in the Grand Line into the "Paradise". Originally, this would have to wait until 30 years later, after the war at the top.
He also planned a pirate fleet led by Whitebeard, Wang Zhi and Silver Axe to raid Marinford, greatly weakening these so-called "forces of justice".
The most important thing was to gather almost 70% of their own high-level combat forces, attack Marijoa, and kill Mus, the deputy leader of the Knights of God and the highest CP sequence zero.
It seems to be in the name of "revenge", but it is only for the purpose of better negotiations with Mary Geoise in the future. In fact, it is to weaken the power of the government, especially the CP, and a major rift must occur.
Because only in this way will Eneel be trained with all efforts by the World Government and trained according to the standards of the CP President.
Thinking of this, the three members of Golden Lion couldn't help but sigh.
"That's really ambitious."
Gutt said.
The golden lion smiled heroically.
"Hahaha! Because he's my nephew!"
"But it may quiet down a bit in the next few years."
Rhine said casually that according to what Lex said, there was no need to make such a big fuss in the first ten-year plan.
"Indeed, the young master said that after meeting that Vegapunk, he will return to the West Sea."
"We are going on vacation in Gion, right?"
"Hahaha, Rania and I are going too."
Rhine mentioned his wife, obviously showing off to Golden Lion and Agulhas Gutt.
"Get lost!" x2
...........
In the next few days, the New World was calm and the withdrawal of the navy did not seem to cause much trouble.
However, all this is just superficial peace.
In this sea where heroes compete with each other, something extraordinary seems to be brewing.
The ports of various important islands have been expanded again and again. I heard that there is support from an emperor of the underworld behind this.
In fact, people who know a little bit about it know that it was Umit's action, but if you think about it more deeply, who gave Umit the courage to expand the shipping business so much in one go?
Secondly, some banks, storage stores, and killer organizations in some dark corners have quietly blossomed and taken root in various islands and countries in the New World.
The huge black hand behind this is subtly adjusting the situation in the entire new world.
The Far West Sea.
The headquarters of the Satan Pirates.
A group of pirate executives gathered together, led by the veteran strongman known for his cruelty, the 'Devil' Satan!
He was nearly 7 meters tall and had a very oppressive presence in the hall. There were already some wrinkles on his face. After all, he was a great pirate who had come all the way from the Rocks era.
Satan's eyes were ferocious and his murderous look was not concealed at all.
"Humph! After Rocks' death, there are still people who want to take over the New World. When Rocks was alive, I was able to hold the Far West Sea, but now they dare to extend their hands into my territory!"
Just now, the Satan Pirates' intelligence officer reported that Shano's Gale Pirates' power was slowly eroding the Satan Pirates.
Most importantly, some rats from the underworld opened their businesses on Satan's territory without telling him.
Behind all this, everything points to that man.
The man who was regarded as a god by people on the sea, Leon Lex!
Satan, however, was somewhat disdainful. What kind of ability was it to become famous by relying on the power of one's elders?
How could a newcomer like Lex, who had just set out to sea, understand all the ups and downs that Satan had experienced along the way?
Even a character like Rocks ended up in disgrace. Do you really think this sea belongs to Leon?
Satan would indeed be a little bit in awe of the Golden Lion's words, but if it was just Shanuo, Satan would not give in easily.
"Give the order, all regiments move out! Head for the Antalya Islands!"
Satan stood up, waved his hand, and shouted loudly with the devilish aura that was intimidating without even being angry.
