One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, thought of this and called Izou and Kiku over.

"Dad, what's wrong?!"

Izang's face was flushed, clearly indicating that he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

"If anything happens to me, I'll leave Marco and the others to you!"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard first put down the wine in his cup, then looked at Izou and Kiku and said gently, "There's no need to explain anything! I knew your identities from the beginning. Just do what you believe is right! And also, you will always be my children, always..."

"Pap, tap, tap..."

After hearing what the white-bearded man said, Izo and Kiku tried their best to hold back their grief and not let their tears fall, but one after another, clear tears still streamed from their eyes.

After a long pause, the two men slowly raised their wine glasses and said softly, "Respectfully bidding farewell to Father!"

"Silly kids, the fight hasn't even started yet!!"

"What's there to offer as a respectful farewell?!"

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, remained completely unfazed by the situation.

Yes, Newgate had always known that Kiku and Izou were Lady Shi's people. He also knew that Lady Shi was no longer the little girl on the ship back then, but a person who carried the hope of a nation's revival on her shoulders and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to reconcile. Newgate doesn't need Kiku and Izo, who are his sons, to apologize to him. He only needs Kiku and Izo to save the other members of the Whitebeard in a critical moment, out of consideration for their past comrades and brothers.

Besides that, Whitebeard had no other desires.

"So, what will the World Government do next?!"

"No! To be precise, what despicable tricks will you, you old bastard, use?! Kuralala, I'm waiting for you, you scoundrel..."

Whitebeard sat on the throne, his gaze seemingly piercing through the sea, looking directly at Fleet Admiral Sengoku in the distant Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Aqiu..."

Suddenly, Sengoku, who was preparing for a war meeting, started sneezing repeatedly.

"How strange! Which old geezer is slandering me behind my back?!"

Sengoku touched his nose and then muttered something under his breath.

"Then, the first meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea officially begins..."

After slightly adjusting his state, Sengoku walked straight towards the conference room.

At this moment, in this seemingly ordinary meeting room, sit seven scoundrels and villains who are known as the most powerful under the Emperor of the Sea!

In the conference room.

"call……"

Crocodile had a cigar dangling from his mouth, puffing away incessantly, the smoke swirling around him, while his gaze kept glancing at the few men around him who were his equals.

"These bastards, how dare they treat me as an equal?!"

Crocodile clearly looked down on the guys around him.

Crocodile earned his current position through hard work and perseverance. His achievements, such as fighting the Yonko and drawing with Bullet, have secured his place in the top tier of pirates, second only to the Emperors. But why should others be in the same tier as him?! It's an insult to him.

“Fufufufu…”

"Is this Bartholomew Kuma?!"

"The legendary race, the hybrids of the Bakania clan..."

"This body is really tall! It's almost as tall as Kaido, and it's a full half head taller than Whitebeard!"

"I wonder how strong he is in combat?! Maybe we can test him out a bit when we get the chance..."

Doflamingo glanced at the giant bear beside him and muttered to himself.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"Are they finally going to make a move against that old man with the white beard?!"

"In my opinion, the World Government should just go all out and take care of those three damned old guys—Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom Charlotte Linlin—all at once..."

"What sea emperor?! The era of sea emperors should have ended long ago..."

Moria spoke with an air of nonchalance, as if he were ready to wipe out all the enemies! But Moria didn't seem to consider the interconnectedness of the situation. If all four Emperors of the Sea were defeated by the World Government, who would the World Government target next?!

By then, will there still be a place in this world where the Seven Warlords of the Sea can stand?! Obviously not…

"Boring bastards! I've never liked talking to poor people since I was a kid!"

Gilles Tezzolo, dressed in an incredibly expensive haute couture coat made of vicuña hair, yawned as he held a calculator, calculating his earnings for the day.

For Tesoro, he had nothing in common with the other Shichibukai. Take, for example, the craftsmanship and cost of his glittering golden llama hair haute couture garment alone, which was worth a small country's GDP for a whole month.

"Damn it, I'm starting to get nervous..."

"This is my first time meeting my colleagues. Should I have given them a heads-up beforehand?!"

Jinbe is not in a good state right now; he seems to have some social anxiety.

After all, Jinbe was the only demi-human among all the Shichibukai present. (A collective term for races such as Fish-Men, Long-Legged Tribes, Long-Necked Tribes, etc.)

Even Kuma is a hybrid of the Bakania clan and ordinary humans. Only Jinbe has no ordinary human blood in his body. He is a pure-blooded fish-man. This makes Jinbe feel a lot of pressure. He doesn't know how to greet the people around him. He can only straighten his back and try his best to sit in place.

However, it was precisely Jinbe's tense demeanor at this moment that made him appear extremely serious, leading those around him to believe that Jinbe was not someone to be trifled with...

As for Kuma, he was as taciturn as Jinbe, merely coldly observing the others in the room! The only Shichibukai who didn't come was 'Empress' Boa Hancock. At this moment, the chair where Hancock should have been sitting only had a Den Den Mushi on it.

“Fufufufu…”

"As expected of Xia's woman, she's really arrogant!"

"He didn't even attend the meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that was forcibly convened by the Fleet Admiral..."

At that moment, Doflamingo noticed the Den Den Mushi on the Empress's chair, and with a slightly displeased expression, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Well, even Doflamingo, a former member of the Celestial Dragons, didn't have such privileges, while Empress Hancock did. It was truly unfair, making the sensitive Doflamingo feel a little bitter and jealous...

Most importantly, ever since Hancock came to Char's side, Char has rarely communicated with them, and even his concern for them has decreased considerably.

Doflamingo: "Damn it! I was here first! Even if I'm dead, lying in my grave, I'll still roar with my decaying voice, you wretched Hancock!!!"

"Now that everyone has arrived!"

"Then the meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea shall officially begin!"

"First, there's something I need to clarify with everyone here. Do you all know the origin of the title 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'? And what the meaning of 'Warlord' represents in this title?!"

Before long, Sengoku walked into the conference room. He looked at the six villains in the room and Hancock's Den Den Mushi, and asked in a cold voice.

"Fufufufu, this is an interesting question..."

"The king of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?! Could it be the king of the Pirate King?!"

"We, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are recognized by the World Government as the seven most powerful pirates below the Pirate King?!"

Doflamingo sneered and asked Sengoku.

"..."

After Doflamingo finished speaking, the other seven great pirates in the meeting room remained silent, clearly acknowledging Doflamingo's words...

"Heh! The Pirate King doesn't even deserve to be called a king!!"

"In this world, any king who has not been recognized by the World Government is not worthy of being called a true king..."

Sengoku let out a cold laugh, his words filled with disdain for the title of Pirate King.

"Then let me tell you, which king is the king of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

At this point, Sengoku pulled down the curtain in the conference room and turned on the projector Den Den Mushi, projecting his pre-prepared PowerPoint presentation onto the screen. The first slide of the presentation showed Char sitting on the throne of the World Government's Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

"Yes! The king of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is none other than His Highness Char Aznable, the king of the World Government, and the king of the Figarand family..."

Sengoku smiled slightly. According to the current practice of their World Government, the war council should begin by praising Char.

"..."

Doflamingo stared at Char, who sat on the throne, his face grim, almost ashen. As a Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo naturally knew more than others. His brow furrowed, utterly bewildered, he thought to himself, "Char, what do you mean by this?! Do you intend to sit on the Empty Throne and become the true king of this world?! Do you plan to make enemies of the entire world?!"

"Isn't this just common sense?!"

Just as Doflamingo's brow furrowed...

Jinbe, Kuma, Tesoro, and Boa Hancock, who, though not physically present, had her Den Den Mushi on and was listening to the meeting, almost in unison declared: "The king of this world is none other than the great Lord Char Aznable!"

"..."

As the four Shichibukai spoke...

For a moment, the entire conference room fell completely silent.

Doflamingo, Crocodile, and Gecko Moria's pupils reflected a hint of fear. They had never imagined that four of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were actually under Char's command. Moreover, judging from their demeanor, their relationship with Char was different from their own; they didn't seem to be partners with Char, but rather simply his subordinates...

"Hey! This isn't what we agreed on at the beginning!"

Ming thought to himself, he was currently deep in thought, assessing the situation...

He pondered what he should do next.
