Chapter 222 Shadow from the North Sea

In the New World, in a certain sea area.

A huge pirate ship, like a giant whale, is dragging on the sea.

This is the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick!

"Baquan! There are so many news about him!"

Marco looked at the newspaper in his hand.

It published some news about Baquan Rod. He didn't know how much news about him he had seen recently.

Sometimes it was about which country his security company signed an agreement with, sometimes it was about what contract "Thomas Shipyard" reached with the World Government, and sometimes it was about what new clothing styles "Bamilia Clothing Store" launched, leading the fashion trend.

Occasionally, you can see some new pirate groups they defeated, or old pirates in the New World.

In short, it was very lively.

"Jinbei, I remember you have contacted him, what kind of person is he?"

Marco suddenly turned his head and looked at the blue fat fishman not far away, Sea Knight Jinbei.

After the advent of the Great Pirate Era, countless pirates flooded into Fishman Island. It is unknown how many mermaids or fishmen were robbed by pirates and human traffickers. The entire Fishman Island fell into chaos. With the power of the King's Army, it was impossible to protect all the citizens.

At that time, it was Whitebeard who brought his members to Fishman Island, shocked all the pirates, and lent his flag to Fishman Island, which protected Fishman Island from threats. All the residents of Fishman Island regarded Whitebeard as their benefactor.

Even Jinbei, who became a Seven Warlords of the Sea, called Whitebeard "Dad" and often interacted with the people of the Whitebeard Pirates. He could almost be regarded as a half-member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

As the captain of the First Division, Marco has been friends with Jinbei for more than ten years.

"I had contact with him when I was on Fishman Island."

Jinbei held a large wine glass and recalled the previous contact with Rhodes.

After saying goodbye to Rod on Fishman Island, Jinbei went to the East China Sea and found Arlong, and saw the humans who were ruled by them in a cruel way.

Although he severely punished Arlong and took him back to Ryugu Castle for permanent imprisonment, Jinbei will never forget the look in the eyes of the humans there when they looked at him.

It was a look mixed with countless emotions such as awe, fear, gratitude, etc.

Of course, there was also deep hatred in the deepest part!

Just like the companions on Fishman Island looked at humans.

Hatred accumulated and passed on little by little.

And he had no solution.

However, Jinbei was full of respect for Rod, who told him about Arlong and pointed out the current problems of Fishman Island.

"That's a real man!"

"Real man, hahahaha! It's really amazing!"

Marco was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"I really look forward to seeing it someday!"

"There will be such a day."

Jinbei nodded affirmatively.

I just don't know how the encounter will be conducted at that time.

Based on his understanding of Rhode, the other party will not be afraid of the title of "the strongest man in the world" of his father. Or rather, it is precisely because of the title of "the strongest man in the world" that Rhode will definitely challenge his father.

Just like that person!

Jinbei looked at the other side of the deck, the silent pockmarked boy.

Fire Fist Ace!

A new member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after Crocodile was stripped of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Natural Flame-Flame Fruit ability user!

More than half a month ago, the other party led his pirate group to challenge his father. At that time, he was not on the pirate ship, but it was said that he fought with Marco for a while and finally lost by one move.

But even so, it was already very remarkable. According to others, this Fire Fist Ace not only has a very powerful fruit ability, but also is very skilled in the use of domineering, and even has a very powerful domineering color domineering.

It may be because of this that Dad admires him very much and wants him to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

This kid seems to be attacking Dad in various ways recently, but he has never succeeded.

From Jinbei's perspective, he should have recognized Dad in his heart, but he just needs an opportunity.

Judging from the attitudes of Dad Whitebeard and Marco, it seems that they want to train him to be the successor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, Dad is really too old, and Marco is not the kind of leader.

Thinking of this, Jinbei couldn't help but think of Tyrant Fist Rod and what he said to him at that time.

Dad Whitebeard is old, who will he rely on to protect Fishman Island after this?

Is it possible for this person to take over the Fire Fist of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Jinbei couldn't help but compare Ace and Rod. The two are of similar age, and they have been at sea for about the same time. Now they are both Shichibukai, but they are very different in terms of their own strength and the power they control.

"Maybe we should make a decision!"

Jinbei stared at the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Mordic Island, bright but no longer hot.

In Jinbei's sight, the sun slowly fell below the sea level and completely extinguished.

Wan Guo

"That Tyrant Fist has become a force to be reckoned with, lick it!"

In a hidden room, the candy minister Perospero looked at his brothers in front of him.

Katakuri, the original leader of the three dessert stars, was reprimanded by his mother for his defeat in the battle of the Champs Elysees Islands, and was deprived of the title of the three dessert stars. Then Snag was added to re-form the three dessert stars.

However, even without the title of the three dessert stars, Katakuri is still the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family, and is still the top master in the pirate group except for his mother.

It is Snag's strength that is obviously not enough, which makes the deterrence of the three dessert stars decrease a lot.

Especially not long ago, when he noticed the battle between Tyrant Rod and the Don Quixote family, Cracker actually took Snag and two people to participate. Fortunately, because Kaido of the Beasts restrained Tyrant Rod, many of their members were also seriously injured. They were afraid of the consequences and failed to pursue with all their strength, which allowed the two of them to return safely.

However, they did not dare to tell their mother about such things, but just said that they had a little investigation of the results of the battle between the two sides.

However, Perospero knew the real situation clearly.

Combined with the results of the battle between Tyrant and Kaido, and the fate of the Donquixote family, Perospero was surprised to find that Tyrant Rod's current power has made the Four Emperors look at him.

He has the power to fight against the Four Emperors, and the big cadres under his command can also deal with the three generals of the dessert or the three disasters of the Beasts Pirates. The rest of the cadres are also extraordinary. Especially in recent times, they have frequently appeared in newspapers and defeated many pirate groups that have been entrenched in the New World for many years.

"But even so, he will definitely not be my mother's opponent."

Perospero calculated the power comparison between the two sides.

The other party only repelled Kaido, and according to subsequent intelligence, the two sides should have reached a cooperation agreement. Judging from the strength alone, Rod should not be Kaido's opponent.

In this way, although the other party can already fight against the Four Emperors and maintain an undefeated situation, there is still a gap in real strength.

As for cadres, the Big Mom Pirates have far more reserves than the Rhodes Pirates. There are 85 brothers and sisters alone, most of whom have good strength, not to mention other members and the forces that depend on them. The power that Tyrant Rhodes has built up in just a few months is nothing compared to the accumulation of the Big Mom Pirates over the years.

"Next, we need to collect more information about them."

The spheres of influence of both parties flashed through Perospero's mind.

Judging from the expansion direction of the Rhodes Pirates in recent times, the other party's sphere of influence is closer to that of the Whitebeard Pirates, but there is still a distance from the Ten Thousand Nations.

"If there is a chance, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible! Lick!"

On an island in the New World

Bonfires are burning everywhere, and figures are linked shoulders and backs, and wine glasses are clinking.

"This Tyrant is really amazing!"

Ben Beckman drank slowly and flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

As the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates and Shanks' right hand, Beckman has a clear mind and a smart head. He pays close attention to all forces on the sea.

Since the Rod Pirates defeated Zephyr in the Little Garden, Beckman has been paying attention to their situation, but the changes in the past few months still make him feel uneasy.

There are too many powerful pirates. Almost every year, some so-called supernovas enter the New World, and there are many strong ones among them.

However, these pirates who entered the New World either fell in the battle with the Four Emperors, or joined the Four Emperors Pirates. Just like their Red Hair Pirates, although they do not have a strong idea of ​​expanding their power, with the name of the Four Emperors, the power under their command is still expanding little by little.

However, even they sailed for a long time in the first half of the Four Seas and the Grand Line, and it took a long time after entering the New World, and finally ascended the throne of the Four Emperors.

But this Tyrant Rod has only been out to sea for a little over a year, and has only been in the New World for a few months, but he has already mastered such a powerful force.

Most importantly, he defeated the Four Emperors - Kaido of Beasts in the previous battle.

Following this development momentum, I am afraid that in a while, the other party will have an influence comparable to the Four Emperors.

Even now, some people have called him the Fifth Emperor, but he has always insisted that he is a Seven Warlords of the Sea, not an ordinary pirate.

In addition to strength, the wisdom shown by the other party in business also made Beckman secretly shocked.

"Don't look at these at the banquet!"

Shanks hugged Beckman's neck, stuffed the wine glass into his hand, filled it with wine, and then clinked the glasses vigorously.

"Cheers!!"

Bang!

The wine glasses of everyone clinked together, and the wine splashed out. The sound of the toasts, the music and the cheers of everyone intertwined, making the atmosphere of the banquet more lively.

"You should drink more too, I'm hosting a special party for you, Mihawk!"

After Beckman started drinking, Shanks turned to another friend sitting next to him.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!

The two have been friends for many years, and they often practiced swordsmanship together before Red Hair lost his arm.

"Are you also following Tyrant?"

Hawkeye clinked glasses with Red Hair and started chatting.

"Are you following him too?"

Red Hair looked at his friend, the recognized number one swordsman in the world.

The other party was a pure swordsman, and apart from swordsmanship, he was rarely interested in other things.

"That's right."

Hawkeye nodded, his eyes fixed on the newspaper Beckman put down. It was a newspaper from a few months ago, with a photo of Rod holding a black knife and confronting Kaido.

"I see!"

Seeing the photo, Shanks suddenly realized.

"I suddenly remembered that when he first debuted, the navy gave him the title of [Crazy Sword], but later found that his physical skills, especially his fists, were stronger, so he was renamed Tyrant."

"It seems that you want to fight him?"

Hawkeye Mihawk, his title of the world's number one swordsman was not promoted, but won by fighting with the sword in his hand.

"I do plan!"

Hawkeye nodded.

After the battle with Rod, Kaido had several more scars on his body.

This is Kaido, the strongest creature on land, sea and air. No one has left new scars on him for so many years.

But Tyrant Fist Rod did it!

And he did it with the sword in his hand!

Although it is strange that he is called "Tyrant Fist" Rod, he has powerful swordsmanship, but Hawkeye doesn't care about it.

He is just curious about Rod's strength and swordsmanship!

"That's a wonderful battle. Be sure to notify me to watch it when the time comes!"

Shanks laughed and clinked glasses with Hawkeye again.

"I will."

In his sharp eyes like an eagle, a cold light flashed.

···

New World, Broccoli Country.

"No, the supply of weapons is getting less and less. If we continue like this, we will only be defeated!"

In the palace, the king discussed things with the ministers.

A few years ago, because of the heavy sky gold, riots and protests broke out in various parts of Broccoli Country, and finally united together to form a powerful resistance army.

In order to deal with the rebellion at home, the king of Broccoli finally stopped exploiting the people and finally took out part of his private money to buy weapons, armed the king's army, and fought against the rebels.

However, since a few months ago, the weapons they can buy have become less and less, and they can no longer meet the needs of the king's army. On the contrary, the rebels still have a steady stream of weapons thrown into the battlefield, causing the front line to be pushed forward layer by layer, and now they are almost reaching the suburbs of the royal city.

"We should change our methods!"

The king looked at the ministers in front of him.

"I decided to hire the combat experts of Germa 66 to solve the rebels once and for all!"

"Germa?"

"That's the evil army of the North Sea!"

"I heard that they will annihilate all enemies!"

"Isn't it a bit too much? Even if they are rebels, they are our citizens. If they are all killed, won't there be fewer people working?"

"···"

The ministers talked about it.

"This is the only way I can think of after careful consideration!"

The king looked around at the ministers in front of him.

They were all nobles of the kingdom and the foundation of his rule over the country.

"As far as I know, there seems to be the shadow of the revolutionary army behind the rebels. If we cannot wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, I am afraid that the situation in Kendiano will also happen to us!"

Hearing the king's words, the ministers were shocked.

Kendiano is a country not far from them. The armed revolution that broke out more than two months ago overthrew the original royal family. It is said that the royal family and nobles of the original country were slaughtered.

"I agree, let the combat experts of Germa 66 take action!"

"Yes, yes, I agree!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone in the conference room had reached a consensus, the king nodded.

It's just a matter of paying some money, and the kingdom army does not need to continue to be dispatched, and all domestic threats can be eliminated, and he can continue to rule. It's really the best!

"Then I will contact the combat experts of Germa 66!"

···

North Sea

With an order, giant snail ships marched towards the new world.

This is the base of Germa 66 and the territory of the Kingdom of Germa. They only need to be merged together to form a complete kingdom.

On the largest snail ship, several figures stood at the highest point of the castle, looking at the sea they were about to enter.

"The glory of Germa will shine again!"

The updates are unstable during holidays. Today, I have been out all the time and went home to rush the manuscript after dinner.

Tomorrow's update is not finished yet, and it will be late, but I am on duty tomorrow, so I can take advantage of the time to slack off and try to finish it as early as possible!
