Pirates from island owner to king

"According to the king, there are still people who are still stubborn at this time. Who are they?"

When these pirates began to retreat, Whitebeard and others saw the situation immediately through the monitoring of the staring fruit ability.

Moreover, these pirates had already been verified before leaving.

Through their respective channels, they found a way to contact the Peace Island Kingdom and asked if they could trade pure gold through gold.

The good news for them is that the reply from the Peace Island Kingdom can be negotiated.

However, those who received a positive reply were all pirates and individuals who had not committed any serious crimes.

Before that, most of them even met the basic standards for recruiting talents in the Peace Island Kingdom.

In addition, the Peace Island Kingdom also gave a clear reply to those pirates with bad records.

The answer is impossible.

They still chose to retreat because they saw many pirates who had received a positive response from the Peace Island Kingdom and could obtain pure gold through transactions chose to leave.

After these pirates left, the number of pirates gathered here was reduced by one-third.

Seeing this situation, the remaining pirates knew that there was no hope of getting pure gold from Whitebeard. In addition, it could be inferred that there was a high probability that Whitebeard had no pure gold, so most of them chose to leave directly.

They didn't just give up.

Instead, they chose to unite and try to form a powerful alliance, just like the Wano Kingdom, which attracted the attention of the Peace Island Kingdom and had to trade part of the pure gold.

Others plan to go to the New Pirates Alliance to see if they can seize the last chance.

Finally, there were some pirates who came up with more ideas.

It is impossible to snatch pure gold directly from the Heping Island Kingdom, so it is better to use some means.

The smart people among them have already thought that since the Wano Country can obtain pure gold from the Heping Island Kingdom, the allies of the Heping Island Kingdom will probably also have some share.

Compared to the Peaceful Island Kingdom, which is unable to fight, those allies are relatively easy to deal with.

Moreover, it does not necessarily require a head-on confrontation.

For example, you can quietly seize the most important heirs of the kings of these allied countries.

Although the method is insidious, as long as it is effective, it is enough. They are real pirates, not some guys who foolishly take risks on the sea for the so-called freedom, but bear the name of pirates.

Some pirates also directly targeted those colleagues who left first.

In short, there are not many pirates left at the end.

"Dad, I know most of these pirates, and they are all pretty good. For example, the Great Sword Pirates, captain of the Great Sword Chris, a great swordsman at the rank of general candidate, have a bounty of more than 15 million beli. The pirate group’s bounty exceeds [-] billion.”

"I also know that they were originally called the Great Sword Pirates, but they changed their name to the Red Sword Pirates a few years ago. It is said that they came into contact with the aloof Red Ryder and later called themselves his subordinates. "

"The aloof Red Ryder..."

Hearing this name, Whitebeard couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This name was certainly not unfamiliar to him.

Many years ago, the opponent was also the top strong man in the sea. After fighting against him, his strength cannot be underestimated.

"So, they may be waiting for the arrival of the aloof red." Marco speculated.

"If that man comes, dad should not take action directly. Such a great swordsman must be left to me." Bista's eyes lit up when he heard Marco say this, and then he continued.

"Kulala, you are indeed my son. I leave it to you Bista." Whitebeard readily agreed.

Although he knew that Bista was probably no match for the aloof Red Ryder, he did not dampen Bista's confidence.

He remembered that he had also paid attention to the information about the lonely Red Ryder a few years ago.

Like the Golden Lion, Ryder was imprisoned in Impel Down.

However, he failed to escape on his own like the Golden Lion, but was deliberately released when the World Government targeted the Peace Island Kingdom.

Of course, this does not mean that there is a big gap in strength between Ryder and the Golden Lion.

In fact, except for some special circumstances, Golden Lion is the only pirate who has truly successfully escaped from prison alone in Impel Down for so many years.

What's more, after the Golden Lion, the defense of the city has been further strengthened, and the difficulty for those behind him has increased a lot even if they want to learn from him.

In addition, according to some intelligence, Whitebeard also knew that the reason why the aloof Red Ryder was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down City seemed to be because he was tired of this bad sea.

Therefore, he did not escape when he encountered the navy.

Otherwise, if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be caught so easily.

Nowadays, the reason why people escaped from Impel Down City was probably because they became interested in the sea that had undergone huge changes outside.

Because they had fought against each other before, Whitebeard knew that Ryder's overall strength was close to the top level.

Although it is not clear how much his strength has declined after being imprisoned in Impel Down City for many years, and how much it has recovered after being released.

However, according to the information from the Peace Island Kingdom, Ryder's strength has probably returned to the exceptional level.

In comparison, Bista's strength is still improving in the past five years, but the upper limit of his potential and talent is there.

Therefore, as of now, Bista's strength is only that of a top general.

Under such circumstances, Bista is qualified to fight Ryder, but has little chance of winning.

In fact, Bista himself knew this.

However, as a great swordsman, when seeing another great swordsman who is more powerful than himself, he always wants to compare with each other.

Moreover, he was a strong man on the same level as his father Whitebeard, and he could only let them see his back.

"Not only the Red Great Sword Pirates, who may be waiting for the arrival of the aloof Red Ryder, but also the Predator Pirates, they seem to be Douglas Barrett's people."

Marco then pointed to another pirate ship that appeared on the big screen and said.

Hearing the name Douglas Barrett, many people present started talking again.

Whitebeard also said: "The young man on Roger's ship, apart from the red hair, he is also very capable."

"I heard that he likes close combat. If it is Jozi, he will definitely be interested in him."

"This man, known as the Devil's descendant, has been away from Impel Down for several years, and his strength has probably returned to its peak, or even further."

"That's right, based on the talent he showed at the beginning, he is probably already an exceptional powerhouse now."

……

By staring at the fruit's ability and monitoring the feedback on the big screen, Whitebeard and others were able to identify almost all the pirates who had not left around them.

Some of them still seem to be lucky.

What's more, they are waiting for the real strong person behind them to arrive.

The powerful people associated with them, in addition to the aloof Red Ryder and Douglas Barrett, there are also some famous people who escaped from Impel Down but did not join the New Pirate Alliance, as well as the great pirates of Wano Country.

The strength of these big pirates cannot be underestimated, and there are many who are comparable to the level of generals.

When Whitebeard and others held a banquet because Wang Hai defeated Kaido, half a day later, the banquet ended, and the lucky pirates tried to launch a sneak attack on the Whitebeard Pirates.

As a result, there was no need for Whitebeard to take action himself.

Even Marco, Bista and others did not take action.

Just the soldiers on the ship, using the cannons and weapons on the ship, had successfully discovered the sneak attack and eliminated these pirates at the first time.

Although among the pirates who made the sneak attack, the strongest one was even a general candidate, he was still eliminated.

The soldiers who took action did not even reach the general level in terms of strength.

With a variety of weapons and equipment, as well as tacit cooperation and professional combat, the battle was quickly resolved without anyone being seriously injured or the ship being seriously damaged.

The whole process lasted less than half an hour.

This shocked the pirates who had not left in the distance after witnessing the battle.

It feels a bit incredible.

Later, they felt worried, and some decided to leave directly.

Only part of it remains.

The next morning came unknowingly, and the arrival of a person finally made the remaining pirates breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's Barrett."

On the other side, on the Moby Dick, Marco and others, who were not suffering from hangovers, also noticed the situation.

On the big screen, a submarine full of technology appeared next to the Predator Pirates, and a man with exploding muscles came out of it, looking very strong.

Marco and others recognized at a glance that this was Douglas Barrett.

This is a man with distinctive features. He is strong and likes to wear military uniforms. Most importantly, his eyes are evil and evil. Most people don't have the courage to look him in the eye.

Almost at the same moment, Barrett seemed to notice Marco and the others looking at him, and he looked over.

It seems that Marco and others can be seen through the big screen.

Barrett suddenly showed a ferocious smile and said something.

Although Marco and the others didn't know what he said specifically, they could vaguely guess that Barrett was challenging them, or Whitebeard.

After Whitebeard saw it, he smiled and said: "The momentum is good, it can be compared with Kaido, and it seems that the strength is not bad."

He gave such an evaluation, and Marco and others realized that Barrett's strength was probably on the same level as Kaido, that is, the top level.

Although they were separated by dozens of kilometers, some of them had reached the top level of sight and hearing and could sense Barrett's aura.

Barrett did not hide his aura, and that powerful aura shocked them.

"It seems that he is not here for the pure gold, but to challenge dad."

"His boat is a good one, a whale just like ours."

"I heard that he is a user with the combined fruit ability, and he built his ship by himself."

"In that case, he should be regarded as a master of weapons development, and the king will definitely be interested in him."

"In fact, the king has been interested in him a long time ago and tried to invite him to join us, but he was rejected."

"He actually rejected the king. He must not know what he missed."

"Maybe he already knows that besides challenging Dad this time, he has already made a decision."

……

While Marco and others were discussing, on the other side, Barrett landed on the ship of the Predator Pirates.

"Sir!"

When they saw Barrett, these pirates saluted him like soldiers when they saw their commander. They also called him this way instead of calling him captain.

In fact, most of them are indeed soldiers.

Originally, Barrett had always been a loner, only believing in his own strength.

Even if he once joined the Roger Pirates, he only chose to join in order to defeat Captain Roger.

After leaving the Roger Pirates, he has been acting alone.

However, after coming out of Impel City and seeing the changing pattern on the sea and the Peace Island Kingdom that brought about these changes, he finally made some changes.

"Tell me about the specific situation."

Barrett asked the crew of the Predator Pirates about the situation, but did not rush directly to the Moby-Dick.

Moreover, he did not directly challenge Whitebeard afterwards.

It seems that he is waiting for something.

This disappointed the other pirates.

But soon, the situation further changed.

After Barrett, big pirates arrived one after another.

At this time, although the speed of the Moby Dick was only half of what it was when it came out, it was not too far away from Heping Island without realizing it.

With the gathering of these big pirates, the situation here has, not surprisingly, become one of the focuses of attention in the sea.

Following the battle between Wang Hai and Kaido, it can be foreseen that, without any surprise, there will be a battle with a larger scale and a higher level.

On one side is the world's strongest Whitebeard, and on the other side are many big pirates who have gathered because of pure gold.

but.

At this time, some people also noticed that the New Pirate Alliance, as the largest pirate force in the New World besides Wano, did not appear at this time.

Originally, at the beginning, the New Pirate Alliance also took action and seemed to plan to join the lineup to snatch pure gold.

However, it was not until now that everyone realized that the new pirate alliance had not arrived at all.

Could it be that after Wano, the Peace Island Kingdom and the New Pirate Alliance reached a pure gold deal?

Although Wang Hai didn't pay much attention to the new pirate alliance headed by Blackbeard, he didn't relax his vigilance either.

Therefore, people have always been paying attention.

This time, even more attention was paid.

Then he noticed that Blackbeard and his men seemed to be heading towards Whitebeard at first.

As a result, he quietly sneaked into the deep sea halfway, causing the Peace Island Kingdom to temporarily lose his movements.

When Blackbeard once again appeared in the sight of the Heping Island Kingdom's intelligence network, he had already led people to the Shampoo Islands.

Moreover, at a time when the world's attention was almost all focused on the Peace Island Kingdom and the Moby Dick.

Blackbeard's men hijacked the Celestial Dragons who appeared in the Chambord Islands. For a time, a large part of the focus of people's attention also shifted to the Chambord Islands.

The attack had just happened, and everyone still didn't know why Blackbeard was crazy enough to attack the Celestial Dragons at this time.
