One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Fourth place: 'Golden Lion' Shiki.

"You've got some nerve."

"Skee's ambition and conviction are stronger than Newgate's and Roger's."

Morgans explained, "Isn't he the one we get along with best?"

“John is our best friend.”

“But John won’t make the list. I suspect the battle at God Valley severely injured him and his strength will drop significantly. Otherwise, the pirates might have been able to squeeze out one of the Navy’s spots.”

"..."

Fifth place: 'Whitebeard' Newgate.

There are many legends about Whitebeard, dating back to the time of Rocks.

"Sixth place: 'The Devil' Roger."

"This takes into account various factors."

Morgans excitedly explained, "Didn't you say that Roger's health would be affected by the illness? The three great pirates are about the same, so let's just put Roger last."

"Seventh place: Charlotte Linlin, the 'born evil god'."

"You've all seen how well Honeycomb Ocean has performed. It hasn't been affected by the disease. It's definitely the biggest potential stock, and its ranking can move up a few places in the future."

"Eighth place: 'White-haired Asura' Kahn."

"I think this ranking is just right."

Morgans said with satisfaction, "He was at the peak from the very beginning. Looking at all the top powerhouses in the ocean, I think Kahn deserves to be ranked eighth. The Five Elders of the World Government also recognize this ranking. With their strong promotion, this ranking has spread throughout the entire ocean."

"Ninth place: 'Buddha' Warring States Period".

"Tenth place: 'Black Arm' Zephyr."

"Zeff Black Arm already had this title, and after becoming a Marine Admiral, he was unwilling to change it and continued to use it."

"You should switch Zephyr's position with Sengoku's."

Katakuri offered his opinion.

"Perhaps you are right."

Morgans nodded and smiled, "In terms of human relationships, it makes no difference if the ninth and tenth places are swapped. Not many people will care too much about the rankings below; they will only argue endlessly about the top-ranked powerhouses."

That's it?

"It's gone."

"I feel there are still quite a few strong individuals who haven't made the list."

"Their potential and strength are both lacking."

Chapter 261 Return to the Kingdom of Drum and Porcelain (Part 2)

"Who do you think is worthy to be one of the Five Kings?"

"Of course, they are the five strongest pirates on the sea!"

"Without power, you can't succeed by relying solely on personal strength. Otherwise, 'Red Earl' Red would have become a legend long ago, instead of one of the three legendary great pirates."

"It's the Whitebeard Pirates, the Flying Pirates, and the Roger Pirates. They are collectively known as the three legendary pirate crews!"

"Is there a difference? Most people only mention them. A lone pirate like Ryder is not qualified to be the top. The Navy and the World Government may take action against him soon."

"..."

The ranking of the top ten strongest individuals has already spread throughout the seas.

The list has sparked heated discussions worldwide, not only among ordinary citizens but also among major powers such as the Navy and the Salvation Army.

But many people are more interested in the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and which great pirates will be the Five Kings.

The rankings have been revealed.

No matter how they discuss or question it, the decision has already been made, unless the top players on the list have a major battle that causes the rankings to change.

Compared to the established ranking of the top ten strongest individuals.

The unannounced list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the selection of the Five Kings are clearly more attractive to them.

Mary Geoise.

"The top ten rankings are out, and you've all seen the list of the Five Kings. I'd like to ask for your opinions on which Seven Warlords to choose. We should at least confirm a few of them first."

The five elders with curly beards handed over a list. "What do you think?"

The other Five Elders glanced at the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They saw about a dozen names, which had already been manually filtered multiple times; to be precise, there were only ten names.

However, the Five Elders, being the Celestial Dragons among the Celestial Dragons, wouldn't care too much about this.

Very few people can be remembered by them.

"Kahn?"

The bald, knife-wielding, beardless Five Elders asked in surprise, "Isn't he a candidate on the Five Kings' list? How come his name is also on the list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

“He’s great, but young people are often arrogant and proud.”

The curl-bearded Five Elders smiled and said, "I have considered making Kahn one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He would definitely be the leader of the seven great pirates, able to restrain, suppress, and even conquer the other Seven Warlords of the Sea. This would be more conducive to the establishment of our Seven Warlords system."

"It's just that he himself may not be willing to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and in the eyes of the entire sea, this identity is not worthy of the current prestige of the title 'White-Haired Asura.' Compared to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the identity of the Five Kings is better."

"Will he refuse to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

The old man with the mustache turned cold.

"Maybe."

The Five Elders of Goldbeard laughed and said, "If you personally went to Whitebeard or Shiki and invited them to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what do you think would happen?"

"I have a hundred ways to make him one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

The old man with the mustache sneered, "He only deserves to bow his head in front of us!"

"We don't need to use those methods; it's not good for us."

The Curly-Bearded Elder explained, “What we need is not to force him, but to have a useful tool to help us maintain order on the sea and uphold our rule.”

"It doesn't matter whether he becomes one of the Five Kings or one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he can't escape it."

You're right.

The five elders with curly beards laughed and said, "We should get down to business and destroy those guys who challenge God, the two major forces known as the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army."

The other five elders couldn't hide their murderous intent; it was written all over their faces.

They wanted to show the world the wrath of 'God,' and use this time to find all the forces lurking in the shadows who were trying to undermine their rule, and to utterly destroy them.

……

New world.

This place, which is considered hellish by the seas in the Grand Line, has many unknown islands, some of which are deserted. But on one island, some uninvited guests arrived.

“Captain Roger, this is the best time for us to take our revenge. They must still be on that island. They are exhausted after a great battle, and we can easily deal with them.”

"This is our last chance, Captain."

"Go and kill them, for Rayleigh, for Jabba and the others."

"We still have a chance!"

"..."

Roger looked at his remaining ten pirate crew members, the navigator he had picked up along the way, and Shanks, who had escaped from Wano Country and had not lost his way, and successfully found them.

In fact, the remaining members of Roger's pirate crew did get lost. They couldn't find their way to the Hive Sea on the vast ocean, and were like headless flies, running around aimlessly.

It wasn't until one of them remembered what the first mate Rayleigh had said that he regained some composure and rationality, and then he encountered Shanks, who was adrift at sea, the same boy Roger had picked up in God Valley.

They barely managed to encounter the captain at sea.

This was the result of Roger's extensive searching.

There is no direction.

There is no goal.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

They cannot see a future.

They understood how important Rayleigh was to the Roger Pirates.

But they lost him, lost forever their most reliable first mate!

"hold on."

Roger's words calmed them all down.

At least their core leadership is still there, their captain is still there.

There was no other choice.

Listening to the captain is the best option.

Roger looked at his calmed-down companions and realized that many people and things had changed. He could no longer be as willful as before and had to find a direction and a goal.

He picked up the bounty posters for Kahn's men one by one.

The first picture is of Kaido, tall and burly, with long black hair, two pairs of large horns on his head, and a long mustache like a dragon's whiskers. His eyes are arrogant and full of expectations for the future.

The second picture is of Katakuri, with short, amaranth-red hair, four sharp teeth, and a fierce look in his eyes... He remembered him, but the bounty poster said he was a Mythical Zoan type in Beast Mode, exuding a terrifying aura, like a monster.

The third image shows Abel dressed in black, holding a knife, surrounded by flames, and wearing a mask that obscures his face.

The fourth picture shows Rah, who is tall and looks sexy and hot, holding a long and thick whip.

The fifth character, Shimotsuki Gyuuma, is a samurai in the ronin (ronin) style.

The sixth image is Gaia, a very handsome knight-like man.
