Chapter 662 A short period of peace
Unlike the stability of the fishing village, some small towns closer to the Great Route have also quietly undergone changes.
In a bustling tavern, merchants and adventurers gathered together, the atmosphere was more lively than usual, and they toasted to celebrate the rare peace in the past few months.
"Did you hear that?
The New Navy and the Navy killed the East Sea pirate leader, Steel Hook, Rick. It is said that guy didn't even last an hour! "
A bearded businessman said excitedly.
"Ha, I heard that not only Rick, but also Bloody Blade Sparrow's men were severely injured by them."
Another person took over the conversation with a smug look on his face.
"What does this mean?
This means the pirates' good days are over!"
The atmosphere in the pub was immediately pushed to a climax, with the sound of wine glasses clinking one after another.
There was a long-lost sense of relief on everyone's face - this was a sense of security that they had not felt for a long time.
However, in the corner, an old man in a cloak raised his head slightly and glanced at them coldly.
He murmured in a low voice:
"New Navy?
navy?
Humph, the order of this sea is not so easy to change."
In some of the castles that are still well preserved, the nobles of the old times are full of worries about the situation.
The collapse of the World Government and the ousting of the Celestial Dragons by the Resistance Army, these news brought about a drastic change in their worldview.
"With the fall of the world government, are we really witnessing a new era?"
An elderly noble sat in the study, his tone filled with fear.
"But at least for now, the pirates seem to be suppressed."
A young nobleman next to him spoke slowly, trying to find some positive angles for the situation.
"The security around our manor is much better now. We no longer have to worry about waking up one day and finding our granary robbed."
"you are too naive."
The old noble snorted coldly, his eyes were cold.
“Those pirates were not completely wiped out, they just lay dormant for the time being.
The combination of the new navy and the navy may bring short-term stability, but no one can predict where this storm will eventually take the world.”
Although the upper class is full of doubts, ordinary people are feeling the improvement in their lives firsthand.
The village was no longer harassed by pirates, the routes for merchant ships became safer, many long-damaged trade routes were reopened, the prices of goods began to fall, and the poor were finally able to eat well and wear warm clothes.
A little girl stood on the beach at the entrance of the village, looking at her father's fishing boat returning with a full load, with an innocent smile on her face:
"Dad said that the bad guys won't come again, and we'll have plenty of fish to eat every day!"
However, behind this apparent calm, a new storm is brewing.
Behind those destroyed pirate forces, there are more hidden threats.
The pirate leaders hiding in the shadows are waiting for their chance to make their move. They are unwilling to be swallowed up by the new order. They vow to prove with blood and fire that the era of pirates has not yet completely ended.
Although under the joint attack of the new navy and the navy, the power of pirates seemed to be restrained for a time, many pirate groups that once caused chaos disappeared in this once chaotic sea.
However, beneath the surface of the sea, undercurrents are surging, and some more dangerous waves have begun to sweep in.
On a deserted island, several pirate leaders who were once famous are quietly gathering.
The shore of the island is surrounded by dense jungle. Although the surrounding trees are lush and green, the wind blows from time to time, bringing some low echoes.
The atmosphere on the island was depressing and solemn, as if even the sun dared not illuminate this gloomy place.
In a simple camp,
"Bloody Hand" Abis was stretching out his bloody hands, his eyes were cold, revealing a wildness and indomitable spirit.
He whispered:
“The new navy and the navy combined cannot suppress us forever.
We are not as simple as they think.”
Several pirate leaders beside him also nodded.
"Flame Wolf" Rossi put the bottle of wine in his hand hard on the table, frowning, with anger flashing in his eyes:
“We were pushed too hard!
I heard that many pirate groups have begun to split up, and some have even chosen to surrender, but those who have lost their fighting ability are not worth my time!
But these guys want to completely wipe us out, just dream on!"
Another big pirate,
"Hammer" Crow muttered:
"The world will not become more peaceful because of those so-called 'orders'.
We pirates will never be their tools."
Their voices became more and more excited, and their eyes were full of determination and anger.
These pirates are not just thugs who exist to survive, they have a fire burning in their bones that refuses to surrender.
Although the alliance between the new navy and the navy today has temporarily suppressed the unrest among pirates, it has not completely eliminated the threat of pirates. Instead, it has aroused their stronger resistance.
Behind this turbulent sea, many people began to suspect that the pirates' actions were not entirely spontaneous.
There are rumors that the remnants of the World Government are secretly supporting these pirates and are even planning a larger-scale conspiracy.
In a dim basement, a mysterious figure in a black robe is closely watching the movements of pirates around the world through an ancient crystal ball.
There was no expression on his face and his eyes were cold, as if he was waiting for a certain moment to come.
As he murmured to himself:
"Although these pirates don't know the truth, their actions have already caused the fluctuations we want."
He slowly waved the long staff in his hand, and the light of the crystal ball became brighter and brighter, and then disappeared into the air.
The mysterious mastermind is none other than one of the last high-ranking officials of the World Government - those known as the "Remnants of Heaven".
They hold absolute power and resources in their hands, and have long realized that the rise of the new navy will directly threaten their rule.
Therefore, they decided to use the power of pirates to stir up new chaos and take this opportunity to regain lost control.
This group of people does not care whether the pirates succeed or not; they only care whether the chaotic situation can bring them a chance to be reborn.
If only the pirates could tear the current order apart once and for all, they could once again emerge from the shadows and seize the power they once held.
Under the pressure of the new navy and the navy, those pirate leaders who were once high and mighty began to gradually regain their courage. After a long period of silence, they began to plan again how to overthrow the current order.
The "sea monster" More was once one of the most terrifying pirates in the East China Sea. He hid himself so thoroughly that he even changed part of his identity.
However, he has different ambitions from other pirates.
"The days of pirates are far from over!"
A sinister light flashed in Moore's eyes. He stood in front of the huge pirate flag with a firm gaze.
“This sea must return to our hands!
Those former overlords cannot be eliminated easily. Only through strength can we prove ourselves!
From now on, the overlord of the sea will no longer be the so-called "new navy" or that group of hypocritical navy! "
"So, we need to unite more people and form a true pirate alliance."
There was a hint of sneer in his words.
“Then out of this storm, we can usher in a new world.”
Although on the surface, the world seems to have entered a brief period of calm and the pirate unrest has been suppressed to a certain extent.
However, the pirates' ambitions have not been extinguished, but have quietly grown in the shadows.
The forces beneath the sea are regrouping, and the dark forces of the world government are looking for an opportunity for their revival.
All the undercurrents indicate that a more magnificent battle is about to take place.
Although the cooperation between Jinan and the navy has temporarily brought some victories, it does not mean that the threat of pirates has completely disappeared.
As he knew, the real war was far from over.
