Kai silently assessed the strength and stance of the two new generals.

Fujitora, despite his different ideals, is still worthy of respect for his strength and perseverance.

And Green Bull... his strength is equally unfathomable, and he seems to be... a staunch supporter of Fleet Admiral Akainu? In the future... he might very well become... a potential rival? Or... a pawn that can be used?

The relationships among the naval high command are indeed... more complicated than I imagined.

Just as Kai was pondering the complex situation within the Navy, a piece of news... enough to shake the world once again, came from the ongoing World Conference!

The bill to abolish the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system... actually... passed!!!

Under the strong impetus of the kings of the member states who suffered greatly from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, such as King Cobra of Alabasta and King Riku of Dressrosa!

Thanks to Admiral Fujitora's tireless behind-the-scenes efforts and advocacy!

Chapter 131 Nami's Frenzied Power-Up! A Slap in the Face for the Straw Hat!

Fujitora's dramatic kneeling in Dressrosa, and the subsequent public questioning and apology of the World Government's system of appointing kings as members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which was broadcast worldwide via video Den Den Mushi, was like a red-hot iron thrown into a calm pan of oil, instantly stirring up a monstrous wave.

In his office at Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Akainu had probably already smashed countless desks to dust. Even across the vast ocean, Kai could almost indirectly "feel" the scorching flames of his furious roar through some means.

Kai was then stationed at a naval branch in the New World, handling daily military affairs and coordinating the fleet's patrol routes.

When the latest news arrived with a newspaper featuring a photo of Fujitora kneeling in apology, he calmly accepted it and had his subordinate read the contents aloud.

"...Admiral Fujitora publicly apologized to the Riku royal family and the people in Dressrosa, pointing out that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was a breeding ground for evil, and calling on the World Government and the Marine Headquarters to take its harm seriously and consider abolishing it..."

The subordinate's voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of shock.

Clearly, such an "outrageous" move by a naval admiral has a huge impact on the lower and middle-ranking naval personnel.

Kai's face remained unchanged, frozen for a thousand years, but a faint, unfathomable ripple flickered in the depths of his empty eyes.

Fujitora smiled. This man was indeed acting according to his own set of "benevolence and righteousness" principles.

In Kai's view, this almost naive idealism was out of place with the Navy, a massive and ruthless machine of violence, and the New World, a cruel jungle where the strong prey on the weak.

He did not agree with Fujitora's approach, which was almost "self-destructive".

Exposing the internal conflicts within the Navy and the World Government's flawed decisions so openly to the world will undoubtedly severely damage the prestige of both the Navy and the World Government.

In Kai's view, this was a foolish and irresponsible act.

Fleet Admiral Akainu's anger is completely understandable.

However, Kai also had to admit that Fujitora's actions, though extreme, precisely struck at the heart of the Shichibukai system and touched the most sensitive nerve of countless member states and people who had suffered under its rule.

Just as Kai predicted, Fujitora's actions triggered a massive global reaction.

"Have you heard? Even a Navy Admiral has publicly admitted that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system is flawed!"

"Great! Our country has had enough of those pirates who abuse their power and bully others just because they're called Shichibukai!"

"Abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea! They must be abolished! They're nothing but a bunch of legal bandits!"

Similar calls, like sparks that start a prairie fire, quickly spread from the first half of the Grand Line to every corner of the New World.

Countless kings and representatives of member states who had suffered from the plundering, oppression, and even the overthrow of their countries by the Seven Warlords of the Sea seemed to see a glimmer of hope. They expressed their support for Fujitora's remarks to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters through various channels, and strongly demanded the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.

Morgans, the president of the news agency, would not let this golden opportunity slip by. His World Economic News newspaper published numerous reports on the reactions from various places, featuring bloody cases and condemning the various evils brought about by the Shichibukai system.

Crocodile's conspiracy in Alabasta, Doflamingo's atrocities in Dressrosa, and even some of the earlier heinous deeds of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were all brought back to light and presented to the world.

In an instant, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a system once hailed by the World Government as one of the "Three Great Balancing Forces," became utterly despised and universally condemned.

Kai, through the Navy's internal intelligence channels and his ubiquitous Observation Haki, clearly sensed the global media storm sweeping the world.

He could "hear" how the kings of the member states discussed the matter in private with righteous indignation, and how they secretly conspired to put pressure on the world government on this issue at the World Conference in the lead-up to the conference.

He could also "see" that those small pirate crews that once relied on the Seven Warlords of the Sea were now filled with fear and trembling, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.

Meanwhile, those ambitious individuals who coveted the position of Shichibukai were secretly plotting and observing the changing situation.

Kai's fingertips tapped lightly on the cold metal tabletop, producing a rhythmic sound.

Fujitora's goal of abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea may actually be achieved more quickly because of his seemingly reckless actions.

Kai doesn't care whether the Shichibukai system itself is "just"; he's more concerned with how the existence or abolition of this system will affect the power structure of the New World and the Navy's future strategic deployment.

If the Shichibukai system is indeed abolished, the Navy will have to deploy more forces to directly confront the pirate forces that were originally restrained by the Shichibukai.

This will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the Navy in the New World, but it may also provide the Navy with more "legitimate reasons" to directly intervene in certain regional conflicts.

For Takayi, a more chaotic and turbulent new world may also mean more opportunities.

He remembered Fujitora's face, which, though blind, seemed to see through everything.

That man might not be as "naive" as she imagined.

Is there a deeper consideration behind his choice to detonate this bomb in Dressrosa at this time and in this way?

A barely perceptible, cold smile curved at the corners of Kai's lips.

This world is becoming more and more interesting.

Fujitora's actions, and the resulting global calls to abolish the Seven Warlords system, were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that have lingered for a long time.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters were subjected to enormous public pressure as a result.

It is said that the atmosphere in Fleet Admiral Akainu's office will be as oppressive as a volcano about to erupt for some time to come.

Doflamingo's downfall in Dressrosa had a more direct and far-reaching impact, like the first domino to fall in the New World Underground Order, triggering a series of violent chain reactions.

The naval branch where Kai is stationed is receiving a constant stream of chaotic intelligence from all over the New World.

"Report, General! With the arrest of Doflamingo, codenamed 'JOKER,' the largest arms smuggling network in the New World has been completely paralyzed! At least thirteen countries currently engaged in civil war have seen their battles drastically altered due to the disruption of arms supplies!"

"Report! The only production line for the artificial Devil Fruit SMILE has been destroyed, severely damaging the Kaido Pirates' expansion plan for the 'Gifter' army! According to vague intelligence from spies lurking near Wano Country, Kaido of the Beasts seems to be enraged by this, with thunder and lightning raging over Wano Country, as if it were the end of the world!"

"Report! Several pirate crews that rely on Doflamingo for weapons and SMILE Devil Fruits have broken out in internal fighting due to the supply shortage! Some previously restless forces have begun to seize the opportunity to grab territory!"

"Report! Several important arms dealers in the underworld are fighting each other for new market share after losing JOKER, their biggest middleman. Small-scale conflicts have broken out on several islands in the New World as a result!"

Kai listened calmly to the reports, his empty eyes seeming to pierce through the layers of fog and see the even greater storm brewing on the turbulent sea of ​​the New World.

Doflamingo, the man who once wielded immense influence in the New World's underworld under the name "Heavenly Demon," wielded far more power than he appeared on the surface.

He is not only a powerful Shichibukai, but also a crucial hub in the New World's dark trading network.

His downfall directly severed countless chains of interest that maintained the underground order.

The disruption of arms deals affects not only small countries currently at war, but also many pirate crews and gangs that rely on force to maintain their rule.

Their strength will inevitably be weakened due to the loss of a stable source of weapons, and the original balance of power will be broken.

The disruption of the supply chain for the artificial Devil Fruit SMILE is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

Kaido has always been committed to building a "Beast Army" composed entirely of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and the SMILE Fruit is the key to realizing this ambition.

Now that this source has been destroyed by the Straw Hat crew and Law working together, Kaido's anger is understandable.

Kai could almost "see" the man known as the "strongest creature in the world" roaring deafeningly on Onigashima Island in Wano Country because he couldn't get enough SMILE fruits to expand his "Gifter" army.

The violent, destructive aura emanating from it sent a chill down Kai's spine, even across the vast ocean.

Kaido will never let this go.

He will definitely take action.

Will he take his anger out on Luffy and Trafalgar Law? Or will he vent his anger elsewhere? Or will he stop at nothing to find a new source of SMILE Devil Fruits, or even try to develop one himself?

Kai's mind raced, rapidly analyzing all the possibilities.

He knew that the new world order was about to undergo a dramatic reshuffling due to Doflamingo's downfall.

Will those forces that were already dissatisfied with Kaido take this opportunity to make a move?

The other four emperors, such as Big Mom and Charlotte Linlin, have not yet fully recovered from the Whole Cake Island incident. How will she deal with Kaido's possible unusual actions? Will she choose to stand by and watch, or try to profit from the situation?

Red-Haired Shanks, the most mysterious of the Four Emperors, what role will he play in this upheaval?

And then there's Blackbeard Teach, that ambitious and ruthless new Yonko, who would never let go of any opportunity to expand his power.

The power vacuum and chaos left behind by Doflamingo's downfall were a veritable feast for him.

Kai could clearly sense that countless powerful auras were becoming restless on the surface of the sea in the New World.

Undercurrents surged, and danger lurked everywhere.

A larger-scale conflict seems poised to erupt at any moment.

Naval Headquarters, naturally, would not stand idly by in the face of this changing situation.

Although Fleet Admiral Akainu was furious at Fujitora's actions, he was even more aware that the primary task at hand was to deal with the potential for the New World to spiral out of control.

Kai quickly received the latest instructions from Naval Headquarters.

"Lieutenant General Kai, given the complexity and uncertainty of the current situation in the New World, the Marshal orders your unit to strengthen surveillance and intelligence gathering on the following targets:"

"First, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet."

It is imperative to ascertain their specific movements after the Dressrosa incident, especially the whereabouts of Captain Straw Hat Luffy.

This person is the key factor that triggered this series of chaotic events and must be closely monitored.

"Second, other supernova pirates."
