Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 362 "Total War is Coming!"

It turns out.

The fact that "the Red-Haired Pirates have become prisoners of the new Marines" was indeed a huge shock to Vice Admiral Rat and Vice Admiral Bluegrass.

Ever since the execution of Pirate King Roger, and Whitebeard Newgate becoming the Pirate Emperor, with Big Mom, Beasts, and Shanks successively ascending to the top of the New World...

The Navy has never accomplished the feat of "slaying the Pirate Emperor"!

Every vice admiral in the Navy knows the World Government's attitude towards the Pirate Emperor.

Without orders from higher authorities.

Even if the Pirate Emperor runs right up to the Marines, they absolutely cannot engage in conflict with him!

of course.

The rat and Brugras could understand the World Government's concerns.

For example, the Pirate Emperor's strength is terrifying...

For example, the Pirate Emperor's power is immense—

For example, a conflict with the Pirate Emperor could easily escalate into a larger-scale war.

But to put it simply...

Isn't the Navy's primary job to "capture pirates"?

Does a navy that can't capture pirates deserve to be called a righteous navy?

This is especially true for naval vice admirals like Rat and Bruglas who operate in the New World.

The Pirate Emperor was right in front of them, yet they couldn't easily provoke him; in fact, they sometimes had to avoid him altogether...

What a humiliating experience!

But it is precisely under such a general situation and environment.

The new navy made a dazzling debut, like a comet.

Zephyr!

Aokiji!

There is also "Fujitora", whose strength is no less than that of a Marine Admiral!

Not to mention the true Pirate Emperor, the White Dragon Emperor, hidden in the shadows!

(The rats and the others were unaware of Kizaru's existence.)

Even if we only look at the high-end combat power on paper.

The new navy is already roughly equal to the old navy!

The most crucial point is that the pro-new Navy is truly willing to challenge the Pirate Emperor!

The Red-Haired Pirates have been successfully defeated!

Upon seeing the members of the Red-Haired Pirates who had been reduced to lowly status, Rat and Bluegrass no longer hesitated and immediately chose to join the new Navy.

Simultaneously.

According to the message relayed by Zefa.

Not only were the rat and Brugras willing to join the new navy.

They were also willing to act as "lobbyists" for the new navy, helping to persuade other navy members in branch bases in the New World who had not yet joined the new navy.

Due to the limited resources available in the New World, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters have not established many branch bases within the New World.

Compared to the four outer seas and the branch bases in Paradise, the number of naval bases in the New World is pitifully small.

However, due to the natural environment of the New World, the average strength of the Marines at the New World branch bases is also higher than that of branches in other places!

The addition of rats and Brugras.

The remaining branch bases in the New World should also be able to quickly join the New Navy.

of course.

The reason why Rat and Bluegrass are so proactive is because they see the light at the end of the tunnel for the Pirate Emperor who can completely wipe out the New World.

Their goal is to wipe out the pirates.

As mentioned before.

The new navy's development plan is roughly divided into three steps: eliminating the pirate emperor.

A showdown with the Navy Headquarters.

To overthrow the World Government.

Rat and Bruglas only wanted to "eliminate the Pirate Emperor".

The two grand goals are "to confront the Marine Headquarters" and "to defeat the World Government".

The rat and Brugras were unwilling to join in.

Especially "Confrontation with the Navy Headquarters".

The rat and Brugras said something similar to what Aokiji had said before.

Their swords would never be aimed at their former colleagues.

at this point.

Zefa readily agreed.

To be honest, he wouldn't want to clash with the old navy if it weren't for the fact that the old navy was a tool of violence for the world government.

If the conflict with the old navy can be resolved peacefully.

Zephyr would love that!

As for the World Government and the World Nobles...

The attitudes of the rat and Brugras are rather ambiguous.

The main reason is that the New World hasn't been completely cleaned up yet, so there's no point in thinking about attacking the World Government!

"Anyway, this is indeed good news!"

?

With a Den Den Mushi in his hand, Storm flew into the heart of Tales of Whole Cake Island.

"The new navy has gained two key members, which will play a significant role in future operations to defeat the Pirate Emperor."

Rat and Bluegrass, along with the highest-ranking officers of the remaining branch bases in the New World who did not join the New Navy (often held by Vice Admirals from the Navy Headquarters).

These (new) vice admirals are not weak.

Even within the Emperor Pirates.

A vice admiral of this rank can at least deal with a senior officer (not the three generals or the three calamities).

"Um.

Zefa gave a soft "hmm," his calm tone concealing a positive attitude.

"First, we need to get the new Navy in order, and then deal with the Red-Haired Pirates' problems—after that, it's the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates!"

Storm nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and reminded Zephyr not to forget to come to Punk Hazard Island for regular medical checkups.

Then he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates are definitely going to be defeated!

But not now.

In a short period of time.

The New World lost two Emperor-level pirate crews: the Big Mom Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

The underworld underwent a complete purge, leaving only two of the original seven rulers: the Queen of Pleasure Street and Big News Bird. (The Golden Emperor was never a ruler of the underworld to begin with.)

New forces such as the New Navy, Storm Pirates, Dawn Pirates, and the Golden Emperor have emerged one after another.

The power dynamics in the new world will inevitably be chaotic for some time before things calm down.

Storm wouldn't start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates at this time.

The superficial reason is that his current strength is not enough. Even if he can defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beast Pirates, he will not be able to quickly take over their original territories.

The underlying reason is that Storm is still waiting for the World Government and the Navy Headquarters to react!

Just as a certain flamingo, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

The king of the sea has never been any "Shichibukai" or "Pirate Emperor" or "Revolutionary Army".

The navy is the strongest force on the high seas.

And the World Government behind the Navy is an entity that cannot be ignored!

The Big Mom Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates suffered successive defeats...

The Storm Pirates and the Dawn Pirates have both reached the top...

The establishment of the new navy and the World Government and Navy Headquarters will certainly prompt a corresponding response to this "unprecedented upheaval in decades".

Storm is just waiting!

The Pirate Emperor of the New World is merely a "near-term worry," and not even a very serious one.

The world government and the Japanese navy are the ones with "long-term concerns," especially the kind of "long-term concerns" that cannot be ignored.

Storm could not predict the reactions of the World Government and the old Navy.

His full power is currently insufficient to confront the World Government and the old Navy head-on.

Then we can only choose to deal with each move as it comes.

However, it must be said...

The World Government and the old Navy were indeed reacting far too slowly...

Storm turned his head and looked back, his gaze seemingly crossing the boundless sea and reaching directly to the red earth continent.

"How lazy they are—Sengoku, the Five Elders, and—Im!"

With this in mind, the White Dragon Emperor returned to his loyal kingdom of Totto Land.

The years do not live, the seasons flow.

In the days that followed, Storm lived a very peaceful and fulfilling life.

Under the crazy tutelage of clay figurines.

Storm has completely mastered all of his current abilities.

From physical strength to domineering aura, and then to Devil Fruits—"

Storm has complete control over these powers.

He even figured out some tricks of the knot-tying technique he had learned from Vegapunk.

Today, every member of the Dawn Pirates carries a large number of [Haki Knots].

From the Conqueror's Haki knot to the Armament Haki knot, and even the Observation Haki knot—

Storm gave the Dawn Pirates a complete "version update".

The Dawn Pirates have moved from the "Devil Fruit version" to the "Haki version".

Leaving aside battery life.

At least until the [Overbearing Knot] is used up.

The Dawn Pirates can almost be considered as having "all members at eight-star level"!

If it weren't for the fact that Storm alone could only produce a limited amount of [Overpowering Aura]...

He could easily create an army of clay figurines that could sweep the world!

But even with just the Dawn Pirates at this moment,

Storm is confident enough to sweep through the New World!

And during this period of time.

Moonlight Moria and Crocodile also entered the New World and arrived in Totto Land.

The former, upon arrival, was about to rush into Wano Country to defeat Kaido of the Beasts.

The latter, not to be outdone, immediately shouted that he wanted to join Storm in defeating the Whitebeard Pirates.

Clearly, both of these "victims" still harbor resentment towards their former enemies.

Storm didn't know if Kaido of the Beasts and Whitebeard still remembered Magic Duck and Crocodile.

In any case, he urgently called a halt to the actions of the two Shichibukai.

Now is not the best time to defeat the Pirate Emperor!

Moonlight Moria and Sand Crocodile were very dissatisfied with Storm's "weakness".

But they didn't have any other good solutions.

We can't exactly send the two of them to fight the Beasts Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, can we?

Laugh to death.

If Gecko Moria and Crocodile could take revenge on their own, why wait for Storm?

Time flies.

The year 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar has passed.

New Year's Day of the Haiyuan Calendar, 1519.

The World Economic News couldn't wait to publish a truly "big news" story.

The entire ocean was thus completely boiled.

"The establishment of a new navy!" 》

The Red-Haired Pirates' End!

A total war sweeping the seas is coming!
