Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Barrett looked at the wanted poster for Rocks and smiled meaningfully: "Hehehe, interesting. Let's start with you, 'Black Winged Demon' Rocks..."

"I hope you're not too frail..."

……

Another place.

"World Destroyer" Bundy Ward has also taken action.

However, after escaping from prison, what he wanted most was to find his family. Only by finding his family would he continue with his plan.

The years he was frozen and imprisoned were the most humiliating time of his life.

He would never let it go unless he vented this humiliation.

He refused to associate with the Golden Lion, who had no right to command him. He would take his "revenge" on the world in his own way...

……

The world is changing rapidly!

The situation is about to spiral out of control due to the fall of the city and the emergence of escapees!

No one could have predicted how this incredibly chaotic world would develop!

Ordinary people are fearful and terrified; world governments are troubled and annoyed; the navy is under increasing pressure; naval officers are both excited and trembling with fear; and the powerful are also paying close attention to this situation...

Even the "Sea Emperor" could not escape it!

……

The New World: Whitebeard's Territory.

“You’ve really done something amazing, Shiki…”

Whitebeard rubbed his temples as he read the news of the fall of Pushing City: "If I remember correctly, Pushing City used to imprison a lot of monsters."

"Have these monsters been released?"

"This sea was already chaotic enough, and now it's about to enter an even more chaotic period..."

Even a character like Whitebeard felt helpless and troubled by this.

The current situation is no less dire than that of Rocks D. Gibbek back then.

No, in some ways it's even more chaotic.

In terms of sheer numbers of powerful individuals, there are definitely more than in the past!

In addition, the goals of the powerful people of that era were not so clear; it wouldn't be far off to say they were just "making a living" on the high seas.

Now that Roger has come to the end, naturally some people will want to emulate him—to become the next Roger.

Well, Rocks D. Gibbek started it too—the New World Overlord!

Those influenced by Rocks D. Gibbek might dream of becoming the rulers of the new world.

People influenced by Roger might aspire to become like Heracles.

Some people want to achieve both goals at the same time!

A strong person with goals is different from a strong person without goals. They will not tolerate or back down, and will not give up unless they are completely defeated.

The clash of will, belief, and goals is so intense that it's no exaggeration to say it's a fight to the death!

The battles and fights will be much more intense than in the past.

This is inevitable!

The strong in both the old and new eras will never back down.

Only after a fierce battle to determine the victor will things calm down.

Chaos will ensue from this...

Just thinking about it made the white-bearded man's lips twitch.

It's too chaotic, the current situation is too chaotic!

"How did things get to this point?"

Marco took a deep breath, shocked. "That Golden Lion actually chose to invade Impulse City. If those infamous monsters reappear, they'll definitely take action..."

Ace, who was standing nearby, didn't know who was imprisoned in the city, so he asked curiously, "Are there many powerful people imprisoned in the city?"

Marco said in a deep voice, "There are at least three that even Father can't ignore..."

"hiss!"

Ace gasped, "Don't tell me they all have the strength of 'Sea Emperors'?"

Marco said, "In the past, they were all renowned and powerful figures. If they hadn't been imprisoned in the city, their strength and status would not have been inferior to the 'Sea Emperor'..."

Ace: "..."

Are there really that many monsters in this world?

"Gurara, although I'm old, I can still protect you for a while longer, enough for you to grow up completely, Ace!"

The white-bearded man smiled and said, "Keep working hard. I want to see you become a captain!"

Ace's gaze was resolute: "I will try my best, Dad!"

……

Redheads' territory.

"We're doomed! We're completely finished!"

The redhead was completely exasperated, looking utterly hopeless: "The balance was already precarious, and now it's even more impossible to maintain."

Will that opportunity... really come?

Even if it appears, can it really bring "hope"?

Maintaining peace on the seas and waiting for the arrival of some "hope"—this is what Shanks has always been doing...

However, with the rise of Lox, the balance could no longer be maintained.

The commotion that Rocks caused was getting bigger and bigger each time!

The Push City incident has now dealt a further blow to the "Balance" theory.

Those monsters have been released, and given those people's personalities, it's impossible for them to stop fighting and killing each other to the death.

The situation is completely out of control, and all plans and preparations will be in vain!

The redhead looked worried...

……

On the other side.

Kaito and Charlotte Linlin are on the phone!

"Oh ho ho, I heard you ran into that Blackwing Demon? Even the tea party was postponed for a few days. Looks like you're injured, Lingling!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Kaido, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation! You should know what that Golden Lion guy did, right?"

"Cooperation? That surprises me. You weren't scared out of your wits by the Blackwing Demon, were you? As for pushing into the city... the Golden Lion and those guys are all losers. They can't make a fuss in this day and age!"

"Oh my god, scared out of your wits? Don't joke around, Kaido! That guy is strong, that's true, but not to the point that I'm afraid of him!"

Charlotte Linlin said coldly, "What do you think of my suggestion? You and I have both failed before, but we still made it this far. Those guys... are not easy to deal with! Most importantly... the Blackwing Demon!!"

Kaido's voice came through: "Cooperation? How? Join forces? That's a good suggestion, but have you really thought it through, Lingling?"

"..."
