Pirate Death Arrives.

Correspondingly.

Although Kaido is a very ambitious person, his ambition is mainly focused on launching the "world's top war".

Kaido believes that equality and freedom can only be achieved by dragging those in power who are born as "nobles" and indulge in comfort to the battlefield, and only war can determine the value of human beings.

As for becoming the Pirate King...to be honest, he didn't have any strong thoughts about it.

Just let everything take its course.

Of course, it’s not to say that there is absolutely no such thing.

Otherwise, Kaido wouldn't have to keep the 'ancient text'.

Moreover, the status of 'Pirate King' among the pirates is supreme.

For any pirate, they all have some obsession with the identity of "Pirate King".

People go to high places and water flows to low places, it's just like that!

As long as they are pirates, as long as they have some aspirations and ambitions, then becoming the Pirate King is their ultimate goal.

Even the Four Emperors, who are high and mighty, are not immune to this.

Besides, considering the current status of the Four Emperors, they are only one step away from becoming the 'Pirate King'.

Once they cross that threshold, they will be the new generation of "Pirate King".

This huge leap in identity and status is right in front of them, how could they not want to grab it?

This is true for Kaido, and the same is true for Big Mom, who has the best relationship with him.

Of course, Big Mom's main goal is to establish a country where all races and things in the world can live together without distinction of high or low.

She hopes to make all races in the world her 'family'.

Becoming the 'Pirate King' was placed second in her priority.

This situation is very similar to Kaido's.

'One Piece' is their second target.

To be honest, even if they can't become the 'Pirate King', it won't be a big deal for both of them.

As long as they can achieve their first goal, nothing else matters.

However, if I could become the 'Pirate King' at the same time, that would be great.

Of course, if we talk about who among the four emperor-level powerful people in the New World has the highest probability of becoming the "Pirate King", it must be "Red Hair" Shanks.

After all, Shanks actually spent more than ten years in the Roger Pirates of the previous Pirate King Roger!

Shanks didn't spend this time in vain.

Shanks was a witness and a firsthand witness of how Roger became the Pirate King.

With this experience, Shanks definitely has a lot more useful experience than other emperor-level powerhouses.

In addition, Shanks and Roger have extremely similar personalities, and the structure of his Red Hair Pirates is also very similar to that of Roger's Pirates.

If Shanks is determined to ascend to the throne of 'Pirate King', it will definitely be much easier for him than the other emperor-level strongmen, and he will have more advantages.

At least, you don't have to take so many detours.

However, Shanks' ambitions are not that big.

Anyway, before the end of the War of Marineford, before the New World was in complete chaos, and before Luffy defeated Kaido, he really didn't have much idea about the position of "Pirate King".

Prior to this, Shanks had been trying to find ways to stabilize the situation of the 'Four Emperors' in the New World.

It turns out that since Shanks became one of the Four Emperors, the New World has indeed become much more stable.

Especially in recent years, wars in the New World have become much less frequent.

Even if there is, it will only be a small war.

Struggles between countries, or between two or more large forces, basically do not exist.

The regulatory role played by Shanks cannot be ignored.

It can be said that in the New World, as long as the Four Emperors do not cause trouble and no major problems arise, it will be difficult for real chaos to occur.

The reason why the new world is in such chaos right now is precisely because the pattern of the 'Four Emperors' has been broken.

With the death of Whitebeard and the collapse of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors is missing, which means that the balance structure that the New World had been barely maintaining before no longer exists.

Coupled with the joining of the great pirates who escaped from Impel Down and the instigation of the ambitious forces and pirate groups in the New World... this chaos will continue unless the next emperor-level strongman and emperor-level pirate group appear.

Of course, if someone can fill the position vacated by Whitebeard's death in time in the next one or two years, there will be no big problem in restoring stability in the New World. However, we are afraid that something will go wrong in the middle.

Will the remaining three emperor-level masters in the New World and the emperor-level pirate groups they control really watch another emperor-level master take the throne?

You know, the new world is only that big.

The land and resources are very limited.

If a force wants to grow and become stronger, it has to fight and compete.

Let’s put Shanks aside for now.

After all, he is different from other emperor-level strongmen. He does not have a fixed base, and all he cares about is being free and easy.

In the original plot, he actually ended up after Luffy and others defeated Big Mom and Kaido.

At least, at this stage, Shanks has no plans to leave.

On the other hand, Big Mom and Kaido are different.

They are all extremely ambitious people.

Neither of them would mind expanding their territory a little more.

However, think about it, a large territory means sufficient resources, and the overall strength of their respective pirate groups can be further enhanced, becoming stronger and more competitive.

Kaido's first goal is to start the 'world's top war'.

If his strength is not enough and the Beasts Pirates under his command are not strong enough, then everything is in vain.

Moreover, even if he succeeded in launching the movement, he would ultimately only become a foil to other forces!

The world of pirates is so cruel.

If you fail to achieve the final victory, then the ending that awaits you will definitely not be a good one.

Especially someone like Kaido who stands at the top of the pirate world.

The pirates wanted to kill him to become famous, those ambitious forces wanted to take his territory to strengthen themselves, and the navy wanted to capture him or even kill him directly to weaken the overall strength of the pirates.

In short.

The higher your position, the more prying eyes and risks you will face.

If you want to eliminate these risks, you can only continuously strengthen the power you have and rely on hard power to defeat those villains.
