"Heh~ Hahaha!"

"Ku~lalala!"

Skeeter and Newgate continued to laugh wildly. They had long been unhappy with Ryder's ranking. Who wouldn't want to be number one in this world?

The two of them could no longer go to the sea to do what they wanted, and their rivals came knocking on their door.

very excited.

"..."

Ryder paused for a moment before speaking, "I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to see Kahn."

"That little rascal isn't here."

Shiki replied, "You can come to me, I'll test your strength and see if you're qualified to be number one on the rankings. If you're not, get down here now!!!"

"If he's not here..."

Ryder smiled and said, "I'll come again next time."

"You're not leaving!"

Shiki said anxiously, "If you don't beat me up today... ptooey! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you think you can escape?"

"Oh~ giggle!"

Kaido, always eager for more drama, roared, "Let's fight!"

"Ku~lalala!"

Newgate laughed excitedly, "I'm also very curious about your strength, Ryder. We've rarely crossed paths. Last time we fought, you clearly didn't use your true strength."

"Back then, you hadn't yet eaten the fruit. I'm very curious about your current strength."

"..."

Newgate harbors no resentment towards Ryder.

If Ryder hadn't participated last time, the Whitebeard Pirates... might have been left with only him, just like Shiki was ambushed by the World Government, Marine Headquarters, and Roger's crew last time.

The elite members of the Flying Pirates that he led out were all wiped out.

Only Shiki survived.

They were imprisoned in Impel Down.

His Whitebeard Pirates were not as large as Shiki's Flying Pirates. On that occasion, the entire Whitebeard Pirates were present. If it weren't for Ryder joining in and doing some things, and Kahn coming to help, it would have been different.

Newgate really finds it hard to imagine the terrible consequences.

"My brother will need a little more time to come back."

Lena stepped forward and invited, "Why don't you stay and be a guest for a while? With your strength, there are few on the high seas who can harm you. If you want to leave, none of us can stop you..."

Ryder saw that he was the only person in the world who had inherited his skills.

He nodded.

Ryder will stay here for now.

Skeeter and Newgate put their arms around each other and played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go first against Ryder.

Kaido, Katakuri, Bullet, Abel, Unan, and other members were all filled with intense curiosity; they wanted to see Red's strength for themselves.

Lach, Whitebey, Yamato, Maria and other female members all came to watch.

It's perfectly normal to want to come and see what's going on.

Mary Geoise.

Kahn stopped hiding anything and his ambitions were fully exposed.

The five elders were relieved.

They believed that Kahn was like them, pursuing supreme power and status, and wanting to take over the world.

They just believed that Kahn's ambitions were even greater than theirs.

He even wants to replace Lord Im.

But strangely, Lord Im wasn't angry.

The Five Elders, who had served Im for many years, were completely baffled and could not understand what Lord Im meant. Could it be that the little one could really become the next... No! Absolutely not!

The Five Elders could not imagine such terrible consequences.

They have only one God.

That's Im.

Since their Lord Im said nothing, they pretended that Kahn hadn't said those words and groomed him as either a tool or a successor.

In their view.

A man with such great ambition as Kahn would never do something as stupid as Miller, the Salvation Army, or the Revolutionary Army.

The World Government has been busy dealing with the remnants of the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army, and has only issued a warning to the Pirate Alliance without actually taking any action.

Moreover, none of their subordinates could defeat Ryder. In a group fight, Ryder could fly using his Devil Fruit ability, and his speed was so fast that even the top of the sea couldn't catch up with him.

It's too difficult to kill him.

"Yo~"

Kahn joked, "Steelbow Kong, you've been promoted again. You look great."

"……you!"

Steelbone Kong didn't act impulsively. Suppressing his anger, he replied perfunctorily, "I didn't expect Saint Kahn to come to the Holy Land again, all eager to please."

"I think the rankings are very unfair."

Kahn saw the retired Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and laughed, "Your strength definitely qualifies you to be on the rankings, perhaps even above the Commander of the Holy Knights and the CP Chief."

"Hahaha!"

Billy laughed loudly, "Don't flatter me too much. I'm old and really can't fight anymore, otherwise I wouldn't have let Kong inherit my position."

Kahn smiled.

He killed the Field Marshal in the North Sea battlefield; otherwise, that Field Marshal would at least be on the rankings. And that Sengoku, his strength is by no means weak. His Conqueror's Haki, which allows him to rule the world, proves that he is by no means weak and has unimaginable potential.

In addition, there's the retired Commander-in-Chief Billy.

The foundation of the world government is still very solid.

Billy will live for at least another ten years, but he won't live past the point where the original story truly begins, given his advanced age.

Several old guys from the Navy who participated in the God Valley War.

After the Battle of God Valley.

They passed away one after another.

The situation is somewhat better for the army. There aren't as many intense battles requiring them to fight against powerful figures. Perhaps a few old guys are still alive; it's not just that two veteran army soldiers who haven't retired have appeared in Beihai...

After communicating with Steelbone and Billy.

Kahn took the little one and left the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

I'm too lazy to stay any longer.

That Im is a smart man. Since we can't kill him anyway, we might as well let him go and see. But it's also possible that we've misjudged Im's intentions. In any case,

Im had no intention of doing anything to him; it was better for both of them.

They're really going to fight to the death.

The forces behind Kahn are so powerful that they could make the current World Government feel like it's being crippled, or even worse, mutually destructive.

But the world government won't be happy.

The pirate alliance will not miss this opportunity.

Therefore, the current balance of the seas is a balance of three major forces. The largest of these forces is the World Government, the force behind Kahn, and the Pirate Alliance, which subtly restrain the World Government.

This is a perfect balance.

The probing is over.

The next stage is farming and development.

Kahn wants to consolidate his power once again, develop the Sky Island and Ohara, and promote education.

after a while.

On the floating island.

"Ryder?"

Kahn asked in surprise, "How did you end up here?"

I came to see you.

Ryder laughed, "By the way, let's see how much preparation you've made. More than I expected."

Kahn learned this during the conversation.

Ryder took Miller's body from the North Sea battlefield.

"Give."

Ryder handed the stolen Miller body to Kahn and smiled, saying, "He was a very interesting man, very adept at sticking to his beliefs."

"..."

Kahn called Lena over and told Little and Lena what he and Miller had talked about at the last minute.

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

They are all intelligent people with their own analytical abilities, and they have even noticed some things and many other things long ago.

"Mom is not a good person."

The little one's voice choked with sobs as he said, "Daddy wasn't a good person either, but I can understand him. If only he had just hugged me back then..."

“I don’t blame him… for leaving his mother.”
