Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The injuries left by the Conqueror's Haki were so severe that even he, an awakened Zoan-type user, could hardly heal them.

It will leave scars!

The scars left by Kozuki Oden are still there, and now another scar has been added on top of those scars.

And it's even heavier than what Kozuki Oden left behind!

This was the first time he had suffered such a serious injury since becoming one of the Four Emperors.

He was not injured this badly when he fought Shanks.

Kaido had lost count of how long it had been since he had suffered such a severe injury...

"I remember that guy was only eighteen, right?"

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Queen's lips twitched wildly: "To possess such terrifying strength at eighteen years old, even more terrifying than 'Red-Haired' Shanks..."

Even their own boss said so, which is enough to demonstrate the terrifying strength of "Black Winged Demon" Lox...

Sitting to the side, with his figure and face completely obscured, "Inferno" Flame also spoke up: "If Garp hadn't interfered in that battle, who would have won?"

"Oh ho ho, who else could it be? Of course it's me!"

Kaido laughed heartily, his laughter arrogant: "The Blackwing Demon is indeed powerful, but he's still too green!"

"His abilities must have only recently awakened, and his domineering aura is still not fully developed. The fact that he could injure me to this extent is already the limit!"

If the fight continues, Kaido is absolutely confident of victory.

The other party has very obvious shortcomings.

These shortcomings will gradually be magnified during the battle with him.

To hurt him to this extent is already the limit for the other party.

"Of course that guy isn't stupid. If he wanted to leave, I really couldn't catch him. That guy's Mythical Beast Devil Fruit has spatial abilities..."

Kaido has not forgotten Rocks' abilities.

Not only does it possess rapid healing abilities comparable to "immortality," it also has the ability to move through space.

If the other side doesn't want to continue fighting, there's nothing he can do about it!

From this perspective, the newspaper wasn't wrong; he truly couldn't do anything to the other side...

Yan Caiyan continued, "In other words, the title of the fifth Sea Emperor, the Fifth Emperor, is indeed rightfully theirs..."

"Is this vast sea... about to usher in the era of the Five Emperors?"

The Blackwing Archmage has arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and is clearly about to head to the New World.

The other party's strength and prestige have now reached this level.

The newspapers also referred to the Blackwing Demon as the "Five Emperors".

The new world will soon enter the era of the Five Emperors!!

Quinn looked at the other bounty posters, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's not talk about Blackwing Daedalus anymore, let's talk about his subordinates..."

"Apart from being smaller in scale than us, they are in no way inferior in terms of strength!"

"The 'Blind Swordsman' with an 1.8 billion bounty, Kuina the 'Quick Sword' with a 1 billion peso bounty..."

"Even 'Shadow Mage' Moonlight Moria has joined them, and there's also 'Thor' Nami..."

"The others also seem to be formidable, and it's certainly not unreasonable for them to be called the 'Emperor of the Sea'..."

Among the crew members on the Blackwing Demon's cargo ship, who would dare mistake them for ordinary sea monsters?

Calling the other party the "Emperor of the Sea" is no exaggeration at all.

Besides the four Sea Emperors, who else in the New World can pose a threat to the Blackwing Demon Lord?

Almost none!

what?

Wang Zhihai from Beehive Island?

He is indeed quite capable, but he is far from being able to catch up with the four Sea Emperors!

Kaido, however, didn't seem to care. Instead, he became even more excited: "Oh ho ho, come on, the era of the Five Emperors or whatever!"

"This sea is never calm; peaceful days are too boring. Only this kind of life is interesting!"

After Shanks became the Emperor of the Sea, the New World's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) stabilized under his influence.

Apart from occasional minor skirmishes, large-scale wars have become rare among the top powers.

Kaido was bored with these peaceful days!

Now, the Blackwing Demon King is about to enter the New World as the "Fifth Sea Emperor"... He will definitely throw the New World into chaos!

He won't stand idly by, Linlin won't stand idly by, and Shanks, the "red-haired" who is subtly trying to stabilize the new world order, might also make a move!

With the appearance of the Blackwing Demon Lord, Sea of ​​Fortune;

In the new world, with the fall of the Rocks Corporation, three legendary sea tycoons have begun to rise and compete.

It felt like Roger's team disbanded, and then they rose up and competed for that spot!

This feeling...

That's what makes Kado most happy!

……

A certain island in the New World.

This is the redhead's territory.

Because of the arrival of a guest, Red-Haired Merchant F held a grand banquet.

The banquet had been going on for a day and a night, but the members of the Red-Haired Devourer F were still partying.

The reason is... they're breaking the record for the timing of the banquet!

Their current record is two days and two nights...

If they can just hold on for two more days, they'll break the record, and then they can hold the banquet again...

"Boss, everyone come quick, look! It's the latest issue of the newspaper!"

A new recruit who had recently joined Red-Haired Tycoon's crew jogged toward the center of the banquet.

He held a newspaper and a wanted poster in his hand, his face showing shock and surprise: "The latest issue of the newspaper is too sensational, you will definitely be interested!"

"What newspaper?"

Shanks, the "Red-Haired" man who was drinking with his guest "Hawkeye" Mihawk, paused for a moment when he heard his underling's words.

He let out a burp before speaking: "Did that old Whitebeard choke to death on his mochi? Did that mean one of the Four Emperors is gone?"

"Otherwise, there's nothing that interests me!"

"No... not..."

The young man broke out in a cold sweat.

Aren't you afraid that Whitebeard will hear you say that?

He took a deep breath and said, "It's not that we've lost one of the Four Emperors, but rather that we've gained a 'Sea Emperor'!"

"The fifth Sea Emperor? Related to 'Black Winged Demon' Locust?"

Upon hearing this, the redhead's eyes, which had been somewhat drunk, became a little more serious.

But he still didn't seem to care much: "Didn't that guy already have that name a month or two ago?"

"..."

However, Hawkeye, who was elegantly sipping his drink nearby, suddenly noticed something and his gaze fell on the newspaper in the underling's hand...

"This time is different! This time it's a true 'Sea Emperor'!"

The younger brother's voice was still filled with shock: "The latest newspaper reported that he did something else, and his bounty has been updated again!"

"The Fifth Emperor, 'Black Winged Demon' Rocks, bounty... 3 billion Berries!"

"..."

Silence fell over the room.

The once lively banquet fell silent as soon as the man finished speaking.

All eyes turned to the speaker, their faces and eyes showing astonishment.

What did they hear?

The bounty for "Blackwing Demon" Rocks is a staggering three billion Berries.

More importantly, why directly prefix it with "Five Emperors"?

Everyone knows perfectly well what this means!

"..."

The redhead paused for a moment.

The effects of the alcohol wore off instantly.

"The Fifth Emperor, 'Black Winged Demon' Rocks? Bounty of 3 billion Berries?"

His facial expression was quite interesting.

He twitched his lips and asked in a surprised tone, "What terrible thing did that guy do this time? Why is the newspaper reporting on it like this..."

The underling said, "I killed two Celestial Dragons, the nobles of the world..."

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed: "..."

The underling continued: "He fought against Marine Admiral Kizaru, then against Marine Vice Admiral Momousagi, and finally against 'Beast' Kaido..."

Everyone gaped open: "..."

The underling continued, "After severely injuring Kaido, he calmly left..."

Everyone's expression changed instantly: "..."

Chapter 197 Red-haired Shanks Instigates Hawkeye! Ace was feeling a bit numb at this moment…

"The newspaper... let me see it..."

Redhead swallowed hard and asked his underling to give him the newspaper.

When the younger brother arrived, he brought several newspapers and a wanted poster, and he quickly handed one over.

They also handed out newspapers to other people who came closer...

Upon seeing the description in the newspaper and the brand-new wanted poster, the red-haired mercenary exclaimed in surprise...

It's unbelievable!

They actually did something so outrageous! Two of the Celestial Dragons were killed!

"That's too fast!"

The redhead was also surprised by the newspaper report. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh, a hint of something in his eyes: "The speed of their rise is too fast!"

"How long has it been? Has it already gotten to this point?"

"..."

Hawkeye, standing nearby, was also reading a newspaper, but a smile appeared on his face: "It seems our previous undecided sparring match will soon be settled..."

When will you challenge me?

Hawkeye had not forgotten the sparring session with Blackwing Daemon that had ended due to being disturbed.

This wait lasted for more than half a year.

now……

Perhaps this battle, this battle for the title of the world's greatest swordsman, is about to begin!

After the Blackwing Lair returned to the Grand Line, Hawkeye had been waiting for this battle to arrive.
