One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 222: Shadow from the North Sea

In the new world, in a certain sea area.

A huge pirate ship, as big as a giant whale, was sailing on the sea.

This is the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, the Moby Dick!
"Ba Quan! There is so much news about him!"

Marco looked at the newspaper in his hand.

It published some news about Tyrant Rhodes. He didn't know how much news related to him he had seen in recent times.

One moment it is about which country the security company under his command has signed an agreement with, the next moment it is about what contract "Thomas Shipyard" has reached with the World Government, and the next moment it is about what new clothing styles "Bamilia Clothing Store" has launched, leading the fashion trend.

Occasionally, you can see them defeating some new pirate groups or old pirates from the New World.

All in all, it's very lively.

"Jinbei, I remember you've met him before, what kind of person is he?"

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

After the advent of the Great Pirate Era, countless pirates swarmed into Fishman Island. Countless mermaids or fishmen were kidnapped 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 men to Fishman Island, shocked all the pirates, and lent his flag to Fishman Island, thus protecting Fishman Island from threats. All the residents of Fishman Island regarded Whitebeard as their benefactor.

Even after becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbei still called Whitebeard "Dad" and often interacted with the members of the Whitebeard Pirates. He could almost be considered half a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

As the captain of the first squadron, Marco has had a friendship with Jinbe for more than ten years.

"We had contact on Fishman Island."

Jinbei held the large wine glass and recalled his previous encounter with Rhodes.

After bidding farewell to Rod on Fishman Island, Jinbei went to the East China Sea and found Arlong, and saw the humans who were ruled by them with cruel means.

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

It was a look that was a mixture of awe, fear, gratitude, and countless other emotions.

Of course, at the deepest level, there is deep hatred!

Just like how the companions on Fishman Island view humans.

This is how hatred accumulates and spreads 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!"

"What a real man, hahahaha! Really amazing!"

Marco was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing it someday!”

"There will be a day like this."

Jinbei nodded affirmatively.

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

Based on his understanding of Rhode, the other party would not be afraid of his father's title of "the strongest man in the world". In other words, it was precisely because of his father's title of "the strongest man in the world" that Rhode would definitely challenge his father.

Just like that guy!
Jinbei looked at the other side of the deck, at the silent pockmarked boy.

Fire Fist Ace!

A new member of the Shichibukai recruited after Crocodile was stripped of his title.

The user of the natural-type Flame-Flame Fruit!
More than half a month ago, the other party led his pirate group to challenge Dad. He was not on the pirate ship at that time, but it was said that he fought with Marco for a while and was finally defeated by one move.

But even so, it is already amazing. According to what others have said, this Fire Fist Ace not only has a very powerful fruit ability, but he is also very skilled in the use of domineering, and even possesses a very powerful domineering domineering.

Perhaps it is because of this that his father admires him very much and wants him to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

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

From Jinpei's perspective, he should have already accepted his father in his heart, he just lacked an opportunity.

Judging from the attitudes of 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 Rod again, and what he said to him at that time.

Whitebeard is already old. Who will 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 men were of similar age, had been at sea for about the same time, and were now both Shichibukai. However, there was a world of difference between them in terms of their own strength and the power they controlled.

“Maybe it’s time to make a decision!”

Jinbei stared into the distance in a trance. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Mordic Island, bright but no longer hot.

In Jinbei's sight, the sun slowly sank below the sea level and went out completely.

···
All countries
"That Tyrant Fist has become quite powerful, lick it!"

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

Katakuri, the original leader of the Three Sweet Stars, was reprimanded by his mother for his defeat in the battle of the Champs Elysées. He was stripped of the title of the Three Sweet Stars and then Snaggle was added to form the Three Sweet Stars again.

However, even without the title of Dessert Three Generals, Katakuri is still the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family, and is still the best master in the pirate group besides his mother.

It’s just that Snag’s strength is obviously not enough, which makes the deterrent power of the three dessert generals reduced a lot.

Especially not long ago, after noticing the battle between Tyrant Rod and the Don Quixote family, Cracker actually took Snag and the other two to join in. Fortunately, Tyrant Rod was restrained by Kaido, the Beast, and many members under their command were also seriously injured. They were unable to pursue with all their strength due to fear of the consequences, which allowed the two of them to return safely.

However, they did not dare to tell their mother about this, they just said that they had briefly investigated the results of the battle between the two sides.

However, Perospero knew the true situation very well.

Combining the outcome of the battle between Tyrant Rod and Kaido, as well as the fate of the Donquixote family, Perospero was surprised to find that the power that Tyrant Rod now possesses has already made the Four Emperors take notice.

He himself possesses the power to fight against the Four Emperors, and the top officers under his command can deal with the Three Dessert Generals or the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates. The rest of his officers are also extremely powerful, especially in recent times, they have frequently appeared in newspapers, and have defeated many pirate groups that have been entrenched in the New World for many years.

"But even so, he will never be a match for my mother."

Perospero calculated the balance of power between the two sides.

The opponent only repelled Kaido, the King of Beasts. According to subsequent intelligence, the two parties should have reached a cooperation agreement. Judging from the strength alone, Rod should not be Kaido's opponent.

It seems that although the opponent is able to fight against the Four Emperors and maintain an undefeated situation, there is still a gap in his actual strength.

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

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

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

Judging from the expansion direction of the Rod Pirates in recent times, their sphere of influence is closer to that of the Whitebeard Pirates, but there is still some distance between them and Banko.

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

···
On an island in the New World
Bonfires were burning everywhere, people were arm in arm, and wine glasses were clinking.

"This Tyrant Fist is truly amazing!"

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

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

Beckman has been keeping an eye on the situation since the Rod Pirates defeated Zephyr in the small garden, but the changes in the past few months still make him uneasy.

There are too many powerful pirates. Almost every year, some so-called supernovas enter the New World, and there are many powerful ones among them. However, these pirates who enter the New World either fall in the battle with the Four Emperors, or join the Four Emperors' pirate groups. 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 of their group is still expanding little by little.

However, even they had to sail for a long time in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, and it also took quite a while after entering the New World before they finally ascended the throne of the Four Emperors.

However, this Tyrant Fist Rod had only been at sea for a little over a year, and in the New World for only a few months, but he had already mastered such powerful strength.

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

At this rate of development, I'm afraid that in a while, the other party will have an influence comparable to that of the Four Emperors.

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

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

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

Shanks put his arm around Beckman's neck, pressed the glass into his hands, filled it for him, and clinked the glasses together vigorously.

"cheers!!"

Bang!
Everyone's wine glasses clinked together, wine splashed out, and the sound of cheers mixed with the music and everyone's cheers, making the atmosphere of the banquet even more lively.

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

After Beckman started drinking happily, 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 before Red Hair lost his arm, they would often practice swordsmanship together.

"Are you guys also following Tyrant Fist?"

Hawkeye clinked glasses with the red-haired guy, and then started chatting.

"You're keeping an eye on him too?"

The red-haired man looked at his friend, the widely acknowledged greatest swordsman in the world.

The other party is a pure swordsman who is rarely interested in other things except swordsmanship.

"Yes."

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

"I see!"

When Shanks saw the photo, he suddenly understood.

"I suddenly remembered that when he first debuted, the navy gave him the nickname [Berserk], but later they found that his physical skills, especially his fists, were stronger, so they changed his name to Tyrant Fist."

"It seems that you want to fight him?"

Hawkeye Mihawk, his title of the world's greatest swordsman is not propaganda, but he has won it through fighting battle after battle with the sword in his hand.

"I do have a 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. Over the years, no one has left new scars on him.

But, Tyrant Rhodes did it!

And he did it with the sword in his hand!

Although it is strange that he is called "Baquan" Rod but has powerful swordsmanship, Hawkeye does not care about that.

He was just curious about Rhodes' strength and swordsmanship!
"That will be a really exciting battle. Be sure to notify me when the time comes to go and watch!"

Shanks laughed and clinked glasses with Hawkeye again.

"I certainly will."

There was a cold light flashing in his eagle-like eyes.

···
New World, Broccoli Country.

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

In the palace, the king was discussing matters with his ministers.

A few years ago, due to the heavy weight of Heavenly Gold, riots and protests broke out in various parts of Broccoli Country. Finally, they united together to form a powerful resistance army.

In order to deal with the domestic rebellion, the king of Broccoli finally stopped exploiting the people and was willing to use part of his own private money to buy weapons, arm the king's army, and fight the rebels.

However, starting from a few months ago, the weapons they could buy became fewer and fewer, and it seemed that they could no longer meet the needs of the king's army. On the contrary, the rebels still had a steady stream of weapons thrown into the battlefield, causing the battle line to be pushed forward layer by layer, and now they are almost reaching the suburbs of the royal city.

“We should change our approach!”

The king looked at the ministers in front of him.

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

"Germa?"

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

"I heard they will wipe out all the enemies!"

"Isn't that a bit too much? Even if they are rebels, they are still our citizens. If we kill them all, won't there be fewer people working?"

"···"

The ministers talked a lot.

"This is the only solution I can come up with after careful consideration!"

The king looked around at the ministers before 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 can't wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, I'm afraid that what happened to Kendiano will happen to us too!"

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

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

"I agree. Let's 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.

Just by paying some money, the kingdom’s army doesn’t need to continue to be dispatched, and all domestic threats can be eliminated, and he can continue to rule. It really can’t be better!

"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 also the territory of the Germa Kingdom. 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 towards the sea they were about to enter.

"Germa's glory will shine again!"
