Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 427 "The Marineford War of One Piece"!

The next day.

The World Economic Herald's "big news" was delivered to every corner of the ocean by the diligent news birds.

Newspapers were delivered to the New World, Paradise, the Four Outer Seas, and even the Calm Belt.

Today's World Economic News headline features Blackbeard Teach, who is imprisoned and whose fate is unknown!

Public Execution! The Great Pirate Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!

Official Declaration of War! White Dragon Emperor VS Whitebeard!

Who is the strongest pirate emperor in the New World?

The headline of the news was prominently titled "One Piece: Marineford War!"

These news articles, personally written by Big Newsbird Morgans, were like powerful cannonballs, completely igniting the entire public opinion sphere.

Blackbeard Teach finally made his way onto the ocean stage—albeit not in the way he preferred.

On the high seas, countless people are engaged in heated discussions about today's breaking news.

"Who is Blackbeard Teach?"

"A newcomer, but that doesn't matter —"

"The White Dragon Emperor is the 'strongest pirate'!"

"The white-bearded man is the 'strongest man'!"

Since the title "Pirate Emperor" appeared.

Whitebeard, Big Mom, Beasts, Red Hair, Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon King —

One pirate emperor after another takes their place on the grand stage of the New World.

But even so.

Within the New World, no super battle of the scale or magnitude of the Battle of Eitwall has ever broken out again.

There may be friction and clashes between the pirate emperors.

However, the battles between the Emperor Pirates always appear cautious and restrained.

In the past decade or so, there has never been a super event like this, where a "pirate emperor publicly declares war".

The entire ocean was in an uproar because of this sudden, massive event!

New World, New Naval Headquarters, New Marineford.

The new navy's top officers gathered together, each holding a copy of the World Economic Daily newspaper. Before the formal meeting began, the meeting room was filled with whispers, and the focus of their discussion was the major event reported in the newspaper.

The "factions" in the conference room were subtly divided into several factions.

Many older, more experienced naval officers considered Whitebeard to be invincible.

"The White Dragon Emperor is incredibly audacious—."

"How dare they challenge the Whitebeard! —.—"

"The Whitebeard possesses enough power to destroy the world—"

However, some young naval commanders believe that the White Dragon Emperor has a better chance of winning.

"The White Dragon Emperor ascended to the throne of the Pirate Emperor by stepping over Big Mom's corpse!"

"Has Whitebeard ever killed a powerhouse of equal strength before?"

"The power possessed by the White Dragon Emperor is also unimaginable!"

But many other naval commanders held a different attitude.

"It's so awesome that the pirate emperors are killing each other!"

"Whether Whitebeard dies or the White Dragon Emperor dies, it's a 'great victory for justice'!"

"It would be best if both pirate emperors died together!"

"Red-Haired Shanks has already been captured by our new Marines. If Whitebeard and the White Dragon Emperor also die, the only pirate emperors left in the New World will be the Beasts and the Red Dragon Emperor!"

Amidst the clamor of discussion.

Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora entered the conference room one after another.

The new naval commander took the head seat at the conference table, with two new naval admirals sitting on his left and right sides respectively.

Zefa's calm gaze swept across the room, and the atmosphere in the conference room quickly turned quiet.

Immediately afterwards, the new naval commander issued the order.

"Our new navy will not interfere in this war between the White Dragon Emperor and Whitebeard!"

As the saying goes: important matters are discussed in small meetings, while minor matters are discussed in large meetings.

Zephyr had already discussed the "White Dragon Emperor VS Whitebeard" matter with Aokiji and Fujitora.

The new admirals and generals even consulted the new admiral candidate who reigned supreme in the world.

The top leaders of the new Navy have concluded that Fleet Admiral candidate Hakuryu will be solely responsible for the operation to subdue the Whitebeard Pirates!

This meeting is simply a way for the new top naval leaders to convey a predetermined outcome.

In accordance with Marshal Zefa's orders.

None of the new naval commanders present had any objections.

The war between pirate emperors is far too dangerous.

If the new navy rashly intervenes, it could easily lead to damage to its own strength.

The new navy only needs to wait for a "result".

However, one of the naval officers present put forward a new suggestion.

"Marshal Zefa".

New Navy Vice Admiral Kongming gently shook the white feather fan in his hand a few times. (From the anime special "Adventure on the Foggy Island")

"The White Dragon Emperor has officially declared war on Whitebeard. The war between the two pirate emperors will definitely cause significant losses to both sides."

"Regardless of who wins this war, could our new navy deploy some defensive forces near the islands where the two pirate emperors are fighting in advance?"

"Then, when the two pirate emperors have fought to a draw and are both severely injured, our new navy will make its move."

Clean up the battlefield!

Before joining the new Navy, Vice Admiral Kongming was a special advisor to the Navy Headquarters' Strategic and Tactical Research and Development Department, and he deeply hated all pirates.

In a sense, Lieutenant General Kongming was also a hawkish naval officer.

Lieutenant General Kongming's meaning is very simple.

To sum it up in eight words: "When two clams fight, a fisherman benefits."

"What you say makes a lot of sense, Kongming."

Zefa nodded first, then shook his head.

"However, you underestimated the White Dragon Emperor's strength and overestimated Whitebeard's abilities."

These words were spoken.

The other naval officers in the meeting room immediately stirred.

Did Teacher Zefa/Marshal say something wrong?

Just then, Aokiji spoke.

"According to intelligence reports from undercover agents, several years ago, Whitebeard had been suffering from an old injury..."

His health has been declining steadily, and now he needs to take a large amount of medication every day just to barely maintain his health.

The so-called "undercover agent".

It was none other than the White Dragon Emperor!

Storm, using Blackbeard Teach's name, sent some intelligence about the Whitebeard Pirates to the new Navy.

This included news that Whitebeard was seriously ill.

Aokiji certainly didn't doubt the accuracy of Storm's intelligence.

Sometimes, it is indeed easier for pirates to obtain information than for the navy.

Following Aokiji, Fujitora Issho also spoke.

"In addition, the Navy once dispatched two admirals, Akainu and Kizaru, to carry out the 'Buster Call' against Emperor Hakuryu, but unfortunately it failed—"

If what Aokiji did was simply drop a grenade in the conference room...

Fujitora's words were like a missile dropped into the conference room!

Neither Akainu nor Kizaru are members of the new Marines—this is how it appears from the perspective of an ordinary vice admiral.

But it is undeniable that...

Akainu and Kizaru are both top-tier combatants on the sea, and the highest combat force under the World Government!

These two "top combatants" failed to defeat the White Dragon Emperor when they were fighting against him at the same time?

Just how strong is the White Dragon Emperor?

Lieutenant General Kongming, who had just made the suggestion, was also sweating profusely.

If the White Dragon Emperor's strength is truly as exaggerated as Admiral Fujitora claims...

The outcome of the war between the White Dragon Emperor and the White Beard was probably already predetermined!

So————

If the new navy really wants to take action against the White Dragon Emperor, how many forces will it need to send?

Even if Aokiji and Fujitora were combined, it probably wouldn't be enough.

I estimate we'll need to add Zephyr as well.

But if a marshal and two generals were to be deployed simultaneously...

Who will be responsible for managing the other affairs facing the new navy?

The White Dragon Emperor is simply terrifying!

Knock knock!

Zefa bent his finger and tapped the table lightly, and the somewhat noisy conference room fell silent once again.

"Kongming, your idea is not without merit. Our new navy does not need to intervene in the war between the two pirate emperors. However, we still need to send a certain force to observe the 'outcome' of this war up close."

"I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Just observe, don't act!"

Lieutenant General Kongming stood up and answered loudly.

"Yes, Marshal Zephyr!"

In the early part of the New World, in a certain sea area, stands an ordinary-looking World Government warship.

Nassuro Sei also held a newspaper in his hand, and his two thin eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

He and Kizaru have been down from Mary Geoise for some time now.

But the previous experience was just too tragic...

This time, Nasujiro carefully controlled the warship's speed and adjusted its route multiple times, fearing that it might encounter the Red Dragon Emperor and the Dawn Pirates along the way, just like Figarand Green Saint had before.

Nassuro Saint is not afraid of the Crimson Dragon Emperor.

He was just afraid of interfering with Lord Im's mission!

The task that Saint Nassuro shoulders is the same as that of Saint Figaland Greene before him.

The deal with the new Navy is aimed at Shanks:

They made a deal with the Pirate Emperor, and their target was the new Navy.

But Nassou Sei hadn't expected it either.

He hasn't even arrived at the new naval headquarters yet.

Such a major change occurred in the new world.

A formal declaration of war between the two Emperor Pirate Crews!

"The White Dragon Emperor's methods—are truly remarkable!"

Nassshuro looked at the black-bearded Teach in the newspaper, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The White Dragon Emperor's modus operandi means that little information about him is leaked.

But who in the entire ocean doesn't know Whitebeard's character?

The White Dragon Emperor used Blackbeard Teach as a bargaining chip, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates as a bargaining chip, and even the life of Whitebeard's son as a bargaining chip...

Whitebeard would not hesitate for a moment and would definitely accept the White Dragon Emperor's declaration of war!

This is exactly what gives Nasujiro Sei a headache.

The matter of the new navy has only just passed.

The pirate emperors have caused such a big commotion?

Don't they know that the new navy is still lurking nearby, ready to pounce?!

White Dragon Emperor, with a white beard —

Nassou Sei touched his big bald head.

The so-called Pirate Emperor is nothing but a short-sighted worm!

The new navy is the number one enemy!

Nasu-ro Sei was extremely anxious and wished he could fly to Totto Land immediately to stop this war, which was of no benefit to the World Government.

New Navy Admiral Kizaru stood to the side, lazily clipping a few nail clippers and then slowly filing down the burrs.

Marshal, you're really working hard!
