After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

Wang Zhi had already figured out what to do when the time came.

"That brat..."

Captain John was somewhat surprised. He didn't like gold coins but preferred cultivation; what a freak!

However, in the world of One Piece, it's a dog-eat-dog world, so there's no harm in training more. It's just that a good seedling was given to Wang Zhi.

Thinking back to how he had actually wanted to recruit Bai Ye but Wang Zhi beat him to it, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Pack up and you can go home!"

The entire ship had been basically looted.

...

"The Rocks Pirates are getting more and more arrogant."

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Satan frowned, looking at the message CP0 had sent back before its death.

Their entire army was wiped out.

The people who made the move were Wang Zhi and his group.

Everything on the ship was looted.

When the news reached the Holy Land, the Celestial Dragons were furious.

They're always the ones stealing other people's things, but nobody dares to steal from them!

"Indeed, but these guys are entrenched in the New World, so it won't be so easy for us to take action."

The New World Navy was inherently weak.

The bald Five Elders, Nass Juro, wanted to resolve the situation, but the Rocks Pirates were not someone they could easily defeat.

The navy's reach doesn't extend to the New World at all.

At the same time, it seems quite difficult for CP to operate in the New World.

To wipe out the enemy, relying on CP in the new world is absolutely impossible.

"Heh, the New World was just a place for them to kill each other, and yet it's turned into a so-called paradise. How ridiculous!"

A cold smile flashed across Piet Saint's face.

The New World was actually created by the World Government.

When they realized that the pirates were impossible to wipe out, and they had no intention of completely eradicating them.

Thus, a new world was born.

Instead of letting these pirates roam the world, why not create a pirate paradise for them?

This can be considered a form of domestication.

Let the pirates fight each other in the New World. Then they just need to guard the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, and firmly control the Red Line.

This world needs chaos.

Otherwise, if things don't get chaotic, the world government won't have any member states. If everyone is safe, who would want to join you?

Furthermore, the Celestial Dragons need to be supported by others. Moreover, if there were no pirates, other countries would most likely unite to deal with the Celestial Dragons. The so-called Great Pirate Era is nothing more than the World Government controlling things from behind the scenes.

At certain intervals, they will launch a cleansing operation to restore peace to the world, and then the cycle will begin again.

This has been used many times over the past eight hundred years.

"Rocks has gathered so many pirates; this guy has quite the ambition."

The pirates of the New World were not originally in the Rocks Pirates.

Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion all joined the group in response to Rocks' call.

"We still haven't figured out Lox's purpose!"

Mazsan frowned. They had been having CP investigate Rocks's motives.

However, as of now, it is still unclear what exactly Lox wants to do.

However, with so many pirates gathered, it's impossible for things to end so simply.

"Right now, only the captains know about these things; no one else knows at all and has no way of knowing!"

Apart from a few captains, no one else knows the specifics of Rocks's purpose.

But one thing is certain: Rocks' ambitions were enormous, and the captains remained silent as well.

If it's just about sticking together for warmth...

"Then let's investigate and have someone keep an eye on Lockes. We'll know as soon as he makes a move."

Vochuli tapped the table with his fingers for a moment, then looked at the group and asked, "Lox must be eliminated."

"I think so."

"Then what about the pirates in his pirate crew?"

Taking down Rocks wouldn't be a difficult task.

But what about the pirates in his crew? After the Rocks Pirates disintegrated, should they take action?

"No need. After Rocks dies, they can't unite. They're all ambitious, and the New World will fall into chaos again, which is a good thing for us."

As for the things that were stolen this time, let's just leave them for now.

Anyway, they're just some Devil Fruits. The most important thing now is to eliminate Rocks, complete the hunt in God Valley, and... find that fruit....”

As long as it's not that particular fruit, from the perspective of the World Government, it's fine if it's left outside.

The fruit they need most has yet to be found.

"That's right. Oh, and that oni guy seems to have run away too. Did Whitebeard take him with him?"

"It's the Rocks Pirates again..."

"This is troublesome, but let's get started!"

"kindness!"

Inside the temple, the lights went out instantly, and the voices of the Five Elders gradually faded away.

At this moment, a secret plan targeting the Rocks Pirates also began to take shape.

Chapter Twenty-Six - Kaido Joins the Fray!

"John, it seems you've robbed quite a bit of treasure this time!"

The treasure was displayed openly on the pirate ship; it was impossible not to see it.

The pirates from Beehive Island couldn't help but glint in their eyes as they looked at the treasure on the ship.

Going to sea is all about money and sex, isn't it?

"Haha, you probably wouldn't even look at the Golden Lion's treasure, would you?"

Captain John took a swig of wine and laughed heartily. By putting these things here, he was clearly telling the other pirates.

I'm rich, come join me!

"Hahaha, it's not like I stole it, do you think I would want it?"

The Golden Lion disdained to steal Captain John's treasure.

They are still on the same ship, after all.

but....

Whether Captain John genuinely didn't know or was pretending not to know.

He had heard that Captain John would hide the treasure he plundered at sea in a secret place every time he went out to sea.

A secret location known only to Captain John.

Over the years, Captain John has plundered a great deal of treasure; it's no secret that he has done so.

Even the Golden Lion was somewhat tempted.

But no one knows where Captain John hid it.

Captain John is probably the most obsessed with treasure among all the pirates.

And few people could resist the allure of such treasures.

"Golden Lion, you bastard, you're really annoying!"

Captain John was somewhat annoyed by being stared at like that.

But he didn't care either.

Although he knew that many people were after his treasure, he was the only one who knew about this place, and it required a special method to open it.
