One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Crocodile, who witnessed the signings of Vista and Joz, and Moria also smiled at this moment.

"JOKER! You're much stronger than I expected; you're quite capable!"

Crocodile looked at Doflamingo and said with a smile.

"cheers!!"

As soon as Crocodile finished speaking, the group simultaneously drank the red wine in their glasses...

Meanwhile, on Zou Island.

"Did Char's men successfully take down Whitebeard?!"

"As expected of Prince Xia, he's truly amazing!"

After receiving news of Whitebeard's death, Kozuki Toki smiled.

Standing beside Kozuki Toki were Izo, the 16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, who survived the Whitebeard extermination campaign and was also a traitor to the Whitebeard Pirates, and his vice-commander Kikunojo...

There's also Akamatsu Kawamatsu, who returned from Fishman Island, and Aryu, a fishman who was defeated by Kawamatsu and then recognized him as his second brother, as well as Hyozo, the number one swordsman on Fishman Island. The reason Hyozo left with Kawamatsu was simply because Kawamatsu was rich enough...

After that came the two kings of Zou Island, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

In addition, a guest has arrived on Zou Island, where Kozuki Toki is located!

The guest's name is Marco...

Yes, it was Marco the Phoenix, the Whitebeard Pirates' ship's doctor and second-in-command.

"Although Izang told me that we didn't need to come in person to thank him..."

But I survived after all!

"In addition, my father's hometown has always been under the protection of my wife..."

"Therefore I must come in person to express my gratitude to you."

After Marco finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Kozuki Toki.

"Marco, don't think I'll help you avenge Whitebeard..."

"Whitebeard didn't avenge Oden back then! We've settled that score!"

"I regret the destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates. I have done all I could. Whitebeard's death was inevitable, and there was nothing I could have done to stop it!"

"But through Char's connection, I managed to negotiate with the three Fleet Admirals of the World Government! In the end, all my efforts paid off. After spending a great deal of time, the three Fleet Admirals finally compromised. They assured me that as soon as Whitebeard died, they would immediately cease hostilities and would no longer pursue the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, at least not at that time..."

"I also had Izou and Kiku tell Whitebeard about this, so he was one of the people who knew! If he had disbanded the Whitebeard Pirates back then, none of this would have happened, and he might not even have survived..."

"Although it's inappropriate to say it like this, I still have to say it: Whitebeard was too greedy! That's why Whitebeard died in battle and the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed!"

Mrs. Shi looked at Marco and spoke coldly.

"I know about this..."

"However, he is, after all, our father!"

"As a child myself, I have no right to blame him..."

Marco nodded slightly. He didn't blame Madam Shi for anything; he knew she had already done more than enough.

"Yes, it's good that you know!"

"Now, it's time to talk about your situation..."

"Since I saved you, you should repay me in some way!"

"I won't ask for more from you, just serve me for ten years!"

"You'll be free in ten years, but during those ten years, you'd better help me with my work!"

"After all, you have nowhere else to go but here. With your status, even if you went to Whitebeard's hometown, you would only cause trouble for the people there!"

Mrs. Shi looked at Marco and spoke softly.

"Very well! Since I can't avenge my father for now, at least I can avenge Mr. Oden's death first..."

Marco nodded slightly after hearing what Mrs. Shi said.

Asking him to deal with the navy, army, air force, etc., is really asking too much of a question!

Whether we can win or not, that's another matter.

"That felt great!"

Mrs. Shi smiled after hearing Marco's words.

"Although we now have allies, Kaido has also gained other allies. Defeating Kaido is still a long and arduous task..."

Lady Toki sighed. No one knew better than Lady Toki just how powerful Kaido was, a force even Kozuki Oden couldn't defeat!

Moreover, Kaido's strength is steadily increasing.

"In the end, we still have to contact Rouge and the others..."

Madam Shi sighed helplessly.

To be honest, she didn't want to trouble Rouge with this matter. After all, if she did, she would owe Rouge a favor, and repaying that favor would be a real hassle...

"Tian Yueming! You must make me proud and not lose to those two silly boys from the Lu family! You are a child born by destiny..."

After sighing, Lady Toki looked at the three children—Amazuki Akira (Camus), Zoro, and Kuina—who were constantly learning swordsmanship under Izo's tutelage. These children were Lady Toki's future.

On the other side, the Sabaody Archipelago.

Next to Shakky's tavern...

Under Rouge's supervision, Ace and Amuro were shirtless and throwing punches.

Beside Ace and Amuro, two elderly men with gray hair were eating cold dishes and drinking wine, looking quite relaxed...

"Ace, straighten your fist! You didn't punch hard enough just now!"

"Amuro, squat down! What do you mean by half-squatting?!"

One of the elderly men, with gray hair, glanced at the straight punches Ace and Amuro exchanged and immediately spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Teacher Jaba..."

Upon hearing this, Ace and Amuro immediately nodded respectfully.

"Hahaha! Jabba, you're too strict!"

Rayleigh, sitting opposite Jabba, couldn't help but chuckle.

"We need to be stricter! How can someone succeed if we're not strict?!"

"Rayleigh, you should learn from Jabba. Stop loafing around all day..."

Before Jabba could speak, Rouge reprimanded Rayleigh.

"Forehead!"

Rayleigh shrugged helplessly upon hearing this.

"Hahaha..." Jabba couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Rouge's words. He winked smugly at Rayleigh and said confidently, "Sister-in-law has said too much! Rayleigh, you should learn more from me!!"

"You've finally found someone to back you up..."

In response, Rayleigh couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark about Jabba.

Yes, after several months...

Rouge has succeeded, using Shakky's tavern as a base to gather the remnants of the Roger Pirates!

Even though these people are all a bunch of old geezers...

However, no one dared to underestimate their strength.

The moment these old geezers set sail, they will surely unleash a bloodbath!

On the other side, in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Stussy transformed this place into a brand new CP training camp...

Among them are Sabo, Lucci, Foz-Foe, Kaku, Jabra, Kalifa, Bruno, and others!

"These people will all become Hathaway's core group!"

Stussy crossed her arms and looked at Sabo and the others with satisfaction.

It's important to know that Sabo has the potential to become a top-tier fighter...

Lucci, Kaku, and Who's Fozfoll also have the potential to become high-ranking members of the Royal Navy!

If Lucci works hard enough, it's not impossible for him to go even further...

In other words, once Sabo and the others rise to power, Stussy will guarantee her beloved son, Hathaway, a team of members on par with the Four Emperors!

"In addition, Char transferred Barrett away from Rouge's side..."

"That's like cutting off Rouge's arm!"

"The outcome of the future struggle for the leadership of the Figarand family remains to be seen..."

Stussy was full of confidence in his child.

O'Hara.
