Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 382 The Dawn Pirates are on the move!

People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

Even among the strongest beings in the ocean, each person's abilities differ.

Kizaru is indeed quite different from Figarand Greene.

The former is a naval admiral who spends most of his time on the front lines of naval combat.

The latter is a Celestial Dragon.

Even the highest commander of the Knights of God.

Greene's daily life was always very "ordinary".

Mary Geoise is a place far from the "noise of the world" and is protected by a large number of troops.

Even though Grin, a Celestial Dragon, possessed top-tier strength, he rarely had the opportunity to fight.

and so.

Kizaru's Observation Haki clearly detected the "unfamiliar aura" hidden in the high-altitude clouds, approaching along with the dark clouds and thunder.

However, the ancient saint Grimm believed that the dark clouds and lightning in the sky were all natural weather changes in the new world.

This is the difference in combat experience!

of course.

This also reflects a gap in combat intelligence.

Even if Kizaru doesn't use Observation Haki to sense the other person's aura.

He also knew who the visitor was.

Kizaru even knew about it several days in advance.

"A 'Thunder Man' who ate the 'Thunder-Thunder Fruit' is passing by in the sky~"

Kizaru reached out and stopped Grimm, who wanted to return to the cabin to avoid the rain, and gently reminded him.

"Grimm, be careful!"

"Hmm? The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

Grimm's expression brightened, and he immediately realized something. Without hesitation, he unleashed his Observation Haki.

"Sure enough! There's a group of unfamiliar auras approaching from the sky!"

"Is Whitebeard II really in there?"

Greene knew very well that Kizaru and Whitebeard Jr. had fought several times before.

It's not surprising that this admiral could directly recognize the aura of Whitebeard II.

"Not just Whitebeard II~"

Kizaru deliberately put on a serious expression.

"I also sensed the aura of the Golden Lion II, and also—the aura of the Red Dragon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Green Saint's pupils contracted slightly.

He wouldn't doubt Kizaru's words.

Because Kizaru is the person within the World Government system who has had the most dealings with the Dawn Pirates.

Much of the information about the Dawn Pirates was provided by Kizaru.

Even when the Dawn Pirates were conducting their first "group operation," they were unexpectedly caught by Kizaru.

This is Kizaru's "experience".

Kizaru's words quickly complicated Grimm's feelings.

He did indeed accept the mission from Im to "make contact with the Pirate Emperor of the New World".

However, in specific terms...

The World Government's original target was actually only the Beast Pirates.

When Grimm entered the New World, he had already prepared to go to Wano Country.

However, Kaido's "fierce reaction" caused the World Government to temporarily halt its previous plans.

now.

Kaido of the Beasts entered Whole Cake Island and has been "out of contact" for several days.

Judging from the peaceful scene in Whole Cake Island and the calm demeanor of the Beast Pirates.

The World Government has deduced that the Beast Pirates seem to have made contact with the Storm Pirates!

After some discussion, Im and the Five Elders gave Grimm a new "secret mission".

Go to Whole Cake Island and try to make contact with the Storm Pirates!

The Beasts Pirates.

Storm Pirates.

This is the current goal of world governments.

The former is because Kaido of the Beasts has many secret dealings with the World Government.

The latter is because the White Dragon Emperor seems to have some kind of peculiar obsession with Devil Fruits.

all in all.

Both of these pirate emperors have a history of cooperating with the World Government.

Regardless of the circumstances.

The Dawn Pirates were definitely not part of the plan!

To be fair...

The World Government is also having a headache over the situation of the Dawn Pirates.

The new navy's formidable strength did indeed give the world government a slight shock.

But if we only consider top-tier combat power...

The Dawn Pirates seem to be no less capable than the new Marines, and may even be stronger!

The new navy includes Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora.

The Dawn Pirates consist of the Red Dragon Emperor, Whitebeard Jr., and Golden Lion Jr.

Other factions were unaware of the Dawn Pirates' significance.

Doesn't the world government know this?

The Red Dragon Emperor is a ruthless man who was able to defeat both the Marine Admiral and the Pirate Emperor.

Whitebeard Jr. is a monster who can leave even the Navy Admirals and the Five Elders helpless!

As for the Golden Lion II.

This guy's bounty isn't high, but he can still hold his own against Kizaru.

If we calculate it this way...

The Dawn Pirates can be considered a monster pirate crew with at least five top-tier combatants from across the seas.

This is not much inferior to the Rocks Pirates, who aspired to be the King of the World decades ago.

Let's take a look at the situation of the Rocks Pirates.

Rocks, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, Beasts—and a whole host of other high-ranking officials.

The situation of the Rocks Pirates and the Dawn Pirates.

It's not exactly the same, but it's at least seven or eight parts similar.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dawn Pirates had always been so "well-behaved"...

Otherwise, the World Government would have already targeted this super pirate crew!

The massive waves that the Rocks Pirates stirred up back then must never be repeated.

Just recently, the Dawn Pirates suddenly took action and seized the territory that originally belonged to the Red-Haired Pirates.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters were quite nervous about this for a while.

They saw this as a "prelude" to the Dawn Pirates' imminent large-scale operation.

As it turned out, the Dawn Pirates were indeed quite "well-behaved".

After swallowing most of the Red-Haired Pirates' territory (the remaining territory was swallowed up by the Storm Pirates).

The Dawn Pirates fell silent once again.

In terms of top-tier combat strength, the Dawn Pirates rank first among the Four Emperors.

Is the White Dragon Emperor strong enough?

The Crimson Dragon Emperor was his equal.

Whitebeard is strong enough, isn't he?

Whitebeard II was no less powerful.

This doesn't even include the Golden Lion II.

This is the Dawn Pirates.

However, in terms of sheer size and influence, the Dawn Pirates are the largest among the Four Emperors.

However, it was last place.

The territories occupied by the Red-Haired Pirates are basically useless; they can't extract much profit from them.

The World Government has no idea what the Dawn Pirates are thinking.

Before gathering more information about the Dawn Pirates.

The World Government has no intention of taking action against this pirate crew.

Greene Guss also did not receive the mission to "contact the Dawn Pirates".

Realistically speaking, this is also because the World Government has no idea where the Dawn Pirates are located.

They unexpectedly "bumped into" the Dawn Pirates in the New World.

Moreover, they seem to be the main force of the Dawn Pirates.

This matter certainly left Greene with mixed feelings.

Remembering Lord Im's orders and Shanks still imprisoned in the New Marines, Grimm took a deep breath. "Kizaru, don't move. Ignore the Dawn Pirates."

Lord Im's orders are of utmost importance!

Kizaru couldn't help but glance at Grimm.

During this time, he also specifically sought out some intelligence information about Grimm.

In Kizaru's mind, Grimm must be the most elite and top-tier Celestial Dragon.

High above, I am the only one who matters.

This is the true depiction of Grimm's saint.

But would even a top-tier Celestial Dragon be afraid of pirates?

Kizaru suddenly felt like laughing, and he grinned as he did.

"Grimm, have you ever heard the saying—"

Kizaru said with a half-smile.

"When the Navy discovers the pirates, the pirates can also discover the Navy."

Boom!

No sooner had Kizaru finished speaking than a deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky.

Amidst the deafening thunder, a dazzling bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, striking with unparalleled precision the steel warship bearing the World Government flag on the sea. Two red lights burst forth in Grimm's eyes, and the famous sword hanging at his waist was drawn from its sheath, its snow-white blade flashing a sharp light in mid-air.

A crescent-shaped flying slash shot out from the blade of the Ancient Saint Grin, slashing towards the dazzling lightning bolt descending from the sky with extreme speed, like chasing light and lightning.

boom!

The sword light and the thunder collided, immediately triggering a deafening roar.

The thick bolt of lightning that seemed to connect heaven and earth was directly severed by Grimm's strike.

Cut through the thunder!

This is the level of swordsmanship of Grimm.

He's stronger than a normal Celestial Dragon.

The scattered lightning transformed into dazzling flashes of light, directly illuminating the dim environment.

Amidst this blinding flash of lightning.

Suddenly, a burly and imposing figure appeared at the bow of the warship.

"Here you go~"

Kizaru stood beside Grimm, extending his index finger and pointing it out.

"Whitebeard II has come looking for me himself~"

This seems to confirm what Kizaru said earlier.

"Shut up, Kizaru!"

Grimm glared at the admiral with annoyance and immediately issued him a "gag order".

That's a bad omen.

Doesn't he recognize Whitebeard II?

Grimm withdrew his gaze from Kizaru and instead stared at the tall figure at the bow of the ship.

Shoulder-length blond hair, a crescent-shaped white beard, and a body full of powerful muscles—

Grimm's thoughts seemed to travel directly across time, back to the Valley of the Gods decades ago.

During the God Valley incident back then.

The white beard back then looked something like this now...

such a pity.

The real white-bearded man was already old.

And he, Figaland Gringu, is also getting old.

A faint red light flashed in "Whitebeard II's" eyes as he looked at the two figures standing side by side on the deck of the warship.

He quickly sensed the intensity of Grimm's aura.

As expected of the supreme commander of the Knights of God, his aura is in no way inferior to that of Kizaru, a genuine admiral-level powerhouse standing next to him!

The world government's highest combat power hidden behind the scenes!
