Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Barrett looked at the wanted poster for Rocks and smiled meaningfully: "Hehehe, interesting. Let's start with you, 'Black Winged Demon' Rocks..."

"I hope you're not too weak..."

……

Another place.

"World Destroyer" Bondi Wald has also taken action.

However, after escaping from prison, what he wanted most was to find his family. Only by finding his family would he continue with his plans.

The years he spent being frozen and imprisoned were the most humiliating time of his life.

He would never let this go unless he vented his humiliation.

He refused to associate with the Golden Lion, who had no right to order him around. He would take his "revenge" on the world in his own way...

……

The world is in constant flux!

The situation is about to spiral out of control due to the fall of Impel Down and the emergence of escapees!

No one can predict how this incredibly chaotic world will develop!

Ordinary people are filled with fear and dread; the World Government is troubled and annoyed; the Navy is under increasing pressure; some pirates are excited, while others are trembling with fear; even the powerful are paying close attention to this situation...

Even the "Sea Emperor" couldn't escape it!

……

Whitebeard's territory in the New World.

“That’s a truly remarkable thing, Shiki…”

Whitebeard rubbed his temples as he read the news of Impel Down's fall: "If I remember correctly, Impel Down used to hold a lot of monsters."

"Have these monsters been released?"

"This sea is already chaotic enough, and now it's about to enter an even more chaotic period..."

Even a figure like Whitebeard felt helpless and troubled by this.

The current situation is no less dire than that of Rocks D. Giebeck's time.

No, in some ways it's even more chaotic.

In terms of sheer numbers of powerful individuals, there are definitely more than in the past!

In addition, the goals of the powerful people of that era were not so clear; it wouldn't be far off to say they were "making a living" on the high seas.

Now that Roger has reached the end, naturally some people will want to emulate Roger and become the Pirate King!

Well, Rocks D. Giebeck started it too—the New World Overlord!

Those influenced by Lox D. Giebeck might dream of becoming the rulers of the new world.

Those influenced by Roger would dream of becoming the Pirate King.

Some people want to achieve both goals at the same time!

A strong person with a goal is different from a strong person without a goal. They will not tolerate or back down, and they will not give up unless they are completely defeated.

The clash of will, belief, and goals is so intense that it's no exaggeration to say it's a fight to the death!

The fighting and battles will be even more intense than in the past.

This is inevitable!

The strong in both the old and new eras will never back down.

Only after a fierce battle and a decisive victory will things calm down.

Chaos will ensue...

Just thinking about it made the white-bearded man's lips twitch.

It's too chaotic, the current situation is too chaotic!

"How could the situation have developed to this point?"

Marco took a deep breath, shocked, and said, "That Golden Lion actually chose to invade Impel Down. If those infamous monsters reappear, they'll definitely take action..."

Ace, who was standing next to him, didn't know who was imprisoned in Impel Down, so he asked curiously, "Are there many powerful people imprisoned in Impel Down?"

Marco said in a deep voice, "There are at least three that even Old Man can't ignore..."

"hiss!"

Ace gasped: "Don't tell me they all have the strength of the 'Emperors of the Sea'?"

Marco said, "In the past, they were all renowned and powerful figures. If they hadn't been imprisoned in Impel Down, their strength and status would not have been inferior to the 'Emperors of the Sea'..."

Ace: "..."

Are there really that many monsters in this world?

"Gurara, although I'm old, I'm still more than capable of protecting you for a while longer, enough for you to fully grow up, Ace!"

Whitebeard smiled and said, "Keep working hard. I want to see you become a captain!"

Ace's gaze was resolute: "I will try my best, Dad!"

……

Redheads' territory.

"We're doomed! We're completely finished!"

Redhead had given up completely, looking utterly hopeless: "The balance was already precarious, and now it's even more impossible to maintain."

"Will that opportunity... really come?"

Even if it appears, can it truly bring "hope"?

Maintaining peace on the seas and waiting for some "hope" to arrive—this is what Shanks has always been doing...

However, with the rise of Locus, the balance could no longer be maintained.

The commotion caused by Rocks got bigger and bigger each time!

The Impel Down incident has now dealt a further blow to the "balance".

Those monsters have been released, and given their personalities, they won't stop fighting and killing each other to the death.

The situation is completely out of control, and all plans and preparations will be in vain!

The redhead looked somewhat worried...

……

the other side.

Kaido is on the phone with Charlotte Linlin!

"Oh ho ho, I heard you ran into that Blackwing Demon? Even the tea party was postponed for a few days. Looks like you're injured, Lingling!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Kaido, I'm here to talk about cooperation! You should know what that Golden Lion did, right?"

"Cooperation? That surprises me. You weren't scared out of your wits by the Blackwing Demon, were you? As for Impel Down... the Golden Lion and those guys are all losers. They can't make a fuss in this day and age!"

"What? Are you scared out of your wits? Don't joke around, Kaido! That guy is strong, that's true, but he's not to the point of scaring me!"

Charlotte Linlin said coldly, "What do you think of my suggestion? You and I have failed before, but we still made it this far. Those guys... are not easy to deal with! Most importantly... the Blackwing Demon!!"

Kaido's voice rang out: "Cooperation? How? Joining forces? That's a good suggestion, but have you really thought it through, Linlin!"

"..."
