Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

7th Division Captain: Nami, Deputy: Nochiko.

Eighth Division Captain: Robin, Deputy: Vivi.

Captain of the Ninth Division: Vanessa, Deputy: Violet Gan.

Captain of the 10th Division: Lina.

Those core members with strong combat abilities were directly appointed as squad leaders by Luo Feng, while those who were not strong enough or were more suited to support roles and unable to fight independently were designated as deputies.

As for those who don't yet have a deputy, that's purely because their individual strength is sufficient, and they don't need one for the time being. They can be arranged gradually in the future.

Afterwards, the squad leaders went to collect the members who had passed the Exclusionary Ladder Tournament and distributed them among their respective teams, along with the previous senior officers.

Each squadron has dozens or even hundreds of powerful individuals, all of whom are elites. On the high seas, the weakest among them are captains capable of commanding a pirate warship, while the least strong are at the rank of vice admiral in the Navy!

It can be said that this is a fighting force composed of pure elites, with as many as five vice-roys. That would be terrifying if word got out!

Thanks to Luo Feng's public recruitment, the Godfall Pirates' power has grown rapidly in just one month, making the World Government members grit their teeth in envy.

However, there was nothing they could do to stop them; they could only watch helplessly as the group grew stronger and eventually reached its full size.

Chapter 383 The Battle Begins: The Last Four Emperors, the Red-Haired Pirates!

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During these three months, the fame of the Godfall Pirates and Luo Feng on the high seas only increased, with their glorious deeds being talked about everywhere.

However, during this period, apart from the initial public recruitment and the month-long ranked ladder competition, the Godfall gang remained silent.

During this time, they all stayed on Godfall Islands. Crocodile, Zoro, and some other elders were naturally consolidating what they had learned in the previous battle, making their strength more stable.

As for the large group of newcomers who just joined, they are getting to know each other or going out to sea to carry out some tasks and tests assigned by the Luofeng Sect.

And so, when the March period arrived, Luo Feng issued an order for everyone to assemble!

"Our target this time is the sea area where the Red-Haired Pirates are located!"

After everyone assembled, Luo Feng stood at the very front, flanked by thirteen core crew members, and began issuing orders to the group.

"The Red-Haired Pirates? Shanks? Isn't that the last remaining Yonko besides his captain?"

"Yes, the other three have all been defeated and killed by the captain. It seems that the captain is going to defeat all four of the sea emperors who previously dominated the ocean!"

"As expected of the captain, he's going to climb to the top by stepping on the heads of all the emperors on the sea!"

"I'm so excited! I just joined, and I'm already participating in such a royal-level battle!"

"Hey, I'm so excited, my battle blood is already burning!"

Luo Feng's announcement was like a spark thrown onto a withered field, instantly igniting everyone's passion!

The newcomers were all incredibly excited, and even the three powerful individuals who were exceptionally allowed to join the core members—Yifan, Lina, and Vanessa—could not remain calm.

On the contrary, the older generation, such as Crocodile and Zoro, were not surprised by this news.

After all, they had witnessed Luo Feng defeat three of the Four Emperors with their own eyes. Such scenes were commonplace, so what was there to be surprised about?

However, they didn't look down on these people. After all, they had become partners, so why bother?

When they first followed Luo Feng, weren't they the same? Back then, they dared not imagine that they would one day wipe out the Four Emperors. Even a casual meteor strike from Luo Feng could leave them dumbfounded!

However, this kind of awareness is clearly not something everyone possesses, for example, Bartolomeo...

Seeing the newcomers' shocked and excited expressions, Bartolomeo immediately turned sarcastic, beating them for being spineless.

After all, this guy has always been deferential to no one except Luo Feng and his sisters-in-law...

BUT, faced with Bartolomeo's responsibilities, the newcomers were not angry at all, but instead flattered him. After all, he was a senior figure.

Bartolomeo seemed quite pleased with this, his smug look almost making Zoro lose his temper and immediately unleash his Three-Sword Style to pounce and slash.

"This battle is the final one to solidify our absolute dominance over the New World's oceans..."

As Luo Feng's voice rang out, the crowd below immediately stopped arguing and looked at Luo Feng, who stood at the head of the table, with expressions of admiration and longing.

"So, get ready, don't let your guard down, everyone, let's go!"

"Oh, Captain!"

Luo Feng tossed his cloak aside, turned around, and led a group of core members and former senior officers onto the main ship, the Meteorite.

The remaining hundreds of new members boarded ten enormous warships and, led by the Meteorite, set sail in a grand procession out of the Meteorite Islands!

Luo Feng's subordinates are all elites selected from among thousands, unlike the massive fleets built from miscellaneous characters like the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

He doesn't need those grand gestures. If he wanted them, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger. With the influence of his hundreds of subordinates, he could gather a massive fleet of tens of thousands of men in no time!

However, for the current battles at least, it's not really necessary yet.

The journey from the Godfall Islands to the waters where the Red-Haired Pirates are located is no short distance. Even with a genius navigator like Nami leading the way, it took them nearly ten days to finally arrive.

During these ten days, many fleets sailing at sea were astonished to find themselves seemingly seeing the legendary flag and symbol...

"Has it finally arrived? The legendary Godfall Pirates, Captain Luo Feng."

On the edge of an island, Shanks and his crew are confronting the Godfall Pirates not far away.

After less than ten days of sailing, the Godfall crew found the Red-Haired Pirates' base, and the pirates seemed to have known they were coming and had arrived there in advance to wait for them.

"Shanks, I have no grudge against you, but you should also know why I came here. I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately and make you follow in the footsteps of those three."

"Tell me, give me a perfect solution. If you don't have one, then war is the only option."

Luo Feng stood at the bow of the Meteorite, his attitude and tone quite forceful, which instantly angered the group of people behind Shanks!

However, thanks to Beckman's intervention, everyone held back and did not react.

"Sigh, of course I understand. When the news came that you had killed those two idiots, I knew you would come looking for me sooner or later."

"However, whether it's following Captain Roger or our group, we've been adventuring in the New World for a long time. I'm really unwilling to give up just like that..."

Shanks gave a bitter smile, not angry, nor resentful, but simply feeling a deep sense of resentment.

"Oh? So you mean you want to start a war?"

Luo Feng's eyes flashed with two cold glints. He didn't mind taking drastic measures and wiping out this last royal-level pirate crew with whom he had no prior grudge!

Luo Feng wants to claim the entire New World as his own territory, and Shanks, bearing the so-called title of one of the Four Emperors, must step down!

If you don't quit, you're doomed!

"No, it's not..."

Shanks shook his head, then remained silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Luo Feng, "Captain Luo Feng, I don't want to escalate this pointless war."

"How about this, let's make a deal, the two of us will have a final showdown, if I lose, I'm willing to leave the New World, and this place will be yours from now on."

"If I lose, you shouldn't bother me anymore, and I won't offend you either, how about that?"

Chapter 384 The only king in the new [0 novel world, the Godfall Empire that commands a hundred responses!]

"Captain, no..."

"How can you be so humiliating? If you win, you withdraw; if you lose, you act like nothing happened..."

Upon hearing Shanks' decision, La Cheru, Yasopp, and the others couldn't hold back any longer. This was far too humiliating; this battle offered them absolutely no benefit.

If you lose, you have to back out; if you win, you gain nothing but the other party's remorse. What kind of logic is that?

Although they were the youngest of the Four Emperors before Luo Feng, they lacked the seniority of those monsters.

However, their strength is definitely not inferior to those teams. No one can stand being forced to come to their door by a young upstart who has just debuted, and having to make such a humiliating and ridiculous agreement!

Shanks' words caused even Beckman, usually the smartest and most composed, to frown slightly, though he didn't say anything more.

"Shut up, I'll explain later!"

Shanks turned around, glared at everyone, and they all immediately shut up; no one dared to say another word.

Then he looked at Luo Feng and asked, "Captain Luo Feng, what do you think?"

"Yes, you're a smart man, Shanks, but your men are somewhat reckless."

Luo Feng looked at Shanks with some approval in his eyes. Shanks' move was clearly the best solution for them.

If a major war really breaks out, then all his comrades will probably lose their lives!

Only in this way can Shanks fight for his chance to stay in the New World without suffering any casualties. If he is defeated, then he will have no regrets about quitting.

If my skills are inferior to others, there's no point in staying here.

Afterwards, Luo Feng jumped off the Meteorite and left with Shanks to fight on a remote desert island, without letting anyone follow.

Everyone remained where they were, with Crocodile leading Godfall and Beckman leading Red-Haired Shanks facing off against each other, neither making a move nor waiting for their respective captains to make their move.

Half an hour later, Luo Feng flew back from afar and returned to the Tianyun. There were no wounds on his body, not even a trace of a battle, which surprised people.

A few minutes later, Shanks finally appeared. His condition was clearly different from Luo Feng's; blood was still trickling from the corner of his mouth...

"captain…!"

Are you alright?

Seeing this, Shanks's men rushed over to help him up. A chill ran down their spines; the situation was crystal clear and required no further explanation.

"I am fine."

Shanks waved his hand, pushed the crowd aside, and then stepped forward to say to Luo Feng, "Captain Luo Feng, you are indeed powerful. From today onwards, my territory belongs to you."

"I will keep my promise and leave the New World!"

On this day, another hurricane swept across the entire ocean, and the last of the Four Emperors, Shanks, announced that he was relinquishing his so-called title of Emperor of the Sea, withdrawing from the New World, and would never return!

This sudden news left everyone stunned, completely bewildered...

It wasn't until several days later that someone with ulterior motives revealed it: Luo Feng, it's Luo Feng again!

At the same time, Morgans also released a timely report that Shanks had lost a one-on-one fight to Luo Feng and voluntarily withdrew, no longer vying with him in the New World!

The sea was in an uproar. The previously rumored title of Luo Feng as the so-called Pirate King had been completely confirmed!

He single-handedly defeated four Yonko-level pirate crews, dominated the New World, and completely unified this sea area!

At the same time, countless pirate crews from the New World arrived near Godfall Islands, willingly becoming subordinates of the Godfall Pirates and sacrificing themselves for them!

These people are smart. They know that Luo Feng has completely dealt with all the so-called Emperor-level pirate crews and is clearly poised to unify the New World. So why would they oppose him?

In the past, they could still rely on forces that were hostile to the Godfall Pirates. But now? Three of the four royal crews have been wiped out, and one has retreated. Who would dare to oppose the Godfall Pirates?
