When everything was settled, the Emperor Pirates held a grand welcome banquet on the ship.

Conis acted as a musician and performed music for everyone in the castle.

"Let's toast to our new partners!"

Nami excitedly raised her glass and extended it to everyone. The others immediately stood up and clinked their glasses together.

Fortunately, the wine glass was of very good quality and did not break.

But Khalifa was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

She originally came on board just for the mission and didn't really want to become a partner of these people.

But since being bewitched by the Emperor, Kalifa's state of mind has changed. Except for her personality which has not changed much, her emotions towards the Emperor have turned from fake to real.

It was precisely because of this that so many people cheered for her arrival, causing Khalifa to feel a little guilty at the moment. She had clearly been deceiving these people before, and with bad intentions.

At this time, Robin reached out his hand and gently patted Kalifa on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's get up and have a toast. You are the protagonist tonight. The past is in the past. Now you belong to this ship. We are a family."

"Family...?" Kalifa murmured softly, slowly following the crowd's movements, raising her glass to drink with them, a rare genuine smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.

But as she laughed, a line of tears appeared on Khalifa's cheeks.

The word "family" is a completely unfamiliar word to an agent like her, but today she experienced it firsthand on a pirate ship.

All the training and the abandoned feelings were regained again. At this moment, Kalifa missed Alpha for the first time, and she even had a desire to stay with these people for the rest of her life.

This was particularly true of the Emperor. Subconsciously putting down her wine glass, Kalifa turned around and hugged the Emperor: "I..."

Emperor Zun smiled and patted Kalifa on the back: "Stop talking, stop talking, I understand. You should be happy now."

"Yeah~!"

Kalifa nodded, then left the Emperor's embrace, raised her glass again and faced the crowd: "I used to be hostile to you, Nico Robin. Although it was not me who hunted you, I would like to apologize on their behalf. I'm sorry."

Robin smiled knowingly and clinked his glass with Kalifa's: "I don't care anymore."

Then, Michita came forward and clinked glasses with him: "Forget about the attack on you before."

Then Weiwei also clinked glasses: "I'm also sorry for knocking you to the ground. Can we be close friends?"

Alrita also came forward and tilted her head and said, "You were hostile to Lord Emperor at that time, so it was normal for me to attack you. Don't be resentful towards me..."

After the three of them, Nami, Nojigo, Tashigi, Conis, and Peacock also clinked glasses with Kalifa.

After all, among these people, there are some who have been hostile to the Emperor from the beginning. For someone like Kalifa, it is quite normal and no one pays special attention to it.

Finally, it was Emperor Zun who gently touched the goblet with his hands and smiled, "I will open a film and television company for you. You should be prepared to work hard to make money for me."

Although she didn't really understand what a film and television company did, Khalifa was very happy now. She drank the wine in her glass and said with a smile, "I will work hard, President."

In fact, it is just that simple. She originally worked diligently for the World Government, and now she has just changed her loyalty.

What's more, this person is the love of Khalifa's heart, which makes her more motivated to work.

After the cheers, the Supreme gradually became quiet.

At the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku was so angry that his body was moving up and down after learning that CP9 had ignored his advice and started a war with the Emperor Pirates, Aokiji had authorized the Demon Slaying Order, and Princess Vivi and Peacock had completely turned into pirates.

"Asshole Emperor...Asshole CP9! The Seven Warlords of the Sea have not been replenished yet. No one can fight the Emperor Pirates without authorization when the combat power is insufficient! I will talk to the World Government!"

However, as things have developed to this point, the navy can no longer easily control this newly debuted pirate group, unless they send out a large number of troops to strangle the Emperor Pirates in the cradle.

But in that case, the navy would suffer heavy losses, which would likely cause a butterfly effect, leading to the rise of a large number of pirates, and the delicate balance between them and the Four Emperors would also be broken.

"What should I do?" Sengoku racked his brains but still had no idea how to deal with the Emperor Pirates.

If left alone, the Four Emperors will definitely become Five Emperors, but if a large number of troops are wasted on such a newcomer, it would be more practical to directly destroy one of the Four Emperors.

At this time, Akainu, who had been silent, spoke up: "Pirates are pirates. No matter what the reason is, they cannot be allowed to develop arbitrarily. If you feel scared, step down from this position. I will go and destroy the Emperor Pirates."

Beside Sakaski, Kizaru, who had been slacking off, couldn't help but look up and said, "Even Kuzan has been defeated, can you win? Probably not. I have to say that the newcomers nowadays are really scary."

Sakaski folded his arms, half of his face gradually turned into magma, and he said with murderous intent, "That guy is always indecisive, it's no surprise that he was defeated. Don't confuse me with him."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Sengoku slammed the table and looked at Sakaski with an unhappy face: "Now it's not a question of whether to be afraid or not, but a question of world balance. If you attack the Four Emperors-level pirates without authorization, this era will become even more chaotic!"

"Ah!"

Sakaski just smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Zhan Guo's decision, which always made the navy hesitant and afraid to take any action.

Zhan Guo did not blame Sakaski. After all, they were in different positions and the levels of consideration were different.

Sakaski just wanted to eliminate the pirates, but ignored the consequences. As the admiral of the navy, he was naturally responsible for the lives of all the navy.

"Bala bala bala... bala ga."

"Hello, I'm Sengoku..."

The Den Den Mushi that suddenly rang was answered immediately, and Sengoku sounded a little annoyed.

On the other end of the phone was the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world government.

"The new Shichibukai has been selected. In addition, he has captured the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Ace the Fire Fist. You will come to Marijoa tomorrow to conduct a trial against Ace the Fire Fist."

"Who is the new Shichibukai?"

"Blackbeard Teach, of course this is only a temporary decision. We are currently lacking in combat power and new pirates are rising. We can't let these people mess around any more."

As the Five Elders are shrewd people, they naturally know that Blackbeard is very ambitious, but at least by recruiting Blackbeard as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they can control him a little and prevent Blackbeard from acting recklessly outside.

After Zhan Guo learned about it, he also agreed with a serious face: "I know, I have something to report here, I will tell Marshal Kong when we get to Mary Geoise."

After saying that, Zhan Guo hung up the phone, glanced at Sakaski and Borsalino, and then decided to let the two follow him to Marijoa tomorrow.

........................

(The timeline is a bit messy, but this is reasonable. It may be slightly changed later. I will explain it below.)

(Now that Emperor Zun is the strongest newcomer and his bounty exceeds 100 million, Emperor Zun will naturally become Blackbeard's target.)

(In order to hunt down Blackbeard, Ace went to Winter Island, then to Alabasta, and was finally rescued by Milk Girl in the Kingdom of Lulucia. He helped Milk Girl deliver a letter to the G-2 branch and got the news about Blackbeard, and finally encountered Blackbeard on Banaro Island.)

(The current plot is that Blackbeard followed the news report and went to Alabasta to capture Emperor. On the way, he caused a big disturbance in Magnetic Drum Country, which was known by Ace, so he went to hunt him down. Emperor was in Sky Island at the time, and came down directly to Water 7, so it was Ace who took the knife for Emperor.)

(In fact, Blackbeard caused trouble in the Drum Kingdom two months later, and Ace learned the news two months later. These are the basic changes to the timeline. The plot change is that Ace did not go to the Lulucia Kingdom and did not meet Milk Girl.)

(It will take some time to try Ace, so the timeline of the war at the top remains unchanged.)

(In addition, the first half of the Grand Line is called Branch X, while the new world in the second half is called Branch G1234.)

(Oda's early settings were problematic, so G-2 became the first half of the Grand Line. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Lulucia, Milk Girl followed Sabo to join the Revolutionary Army, so here it is set that the Kingdom of Lulucia and the G-2 branch are also in the New World.)
