Arceus' Pirate Journey

With these generals still not returning to their bases, the navy's deterrent power plummeted. Faced with countless new pirates, the navy could only launch frequent attacks to combat these newly emerged pirates.

The dispatching rooms of the local branches have almost entered a state of continuous rotation. Just after dealing with a group of pirates, a new alarm sound reached their ears.

The waters of the four seas are overwhelmed by these newly emerged pirates, not to mention the New World. The Whitebeard Pirates' territory has long been plunged into chaos.

......

In the territory of the new world, Whitebeard originally occupied a large part, but in order to rescue Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates can be said to be dispatched by all members.

All sixteen divisions of the main team went out without reservation, and all the affiliated pirate groups were also dispatched, leaving very few people behind to guard.

This means that when Jack and Olga are fighting for territory, what limits them is not the strength of the enemy, but the distance.

Many islands in the New World have become accustomed to living under the protection of the pirate flag, so Jack and Olga's job is very simple. Find an island, defeat the island's administrator, plant their own flag, and then leave a few people to garrison before moving on to the next place.

The issue of island management will be dealt with in subsequent arrangements. Their task is to grab land and take it over first.

As for how to manage the island, other people will take care of it later.

It's okay to let Jack conquer territory, but asking him to manage a new island is really putting him in a difficult position.

Even though the Beasts' cadres began to split up after entering Whitebeard's territory, the large number of islands restricted their progress. Even though the war at the top was over, their mission was not over.

"Brother Jack! Governor Kaido has sent a new order, asking you to return to Onigashima to hold a banquet after completing your mission."

"I understand. Brother Kaido is indeed the strongest. Sipshead, Gin Rami, you two will be in charge of the island here. I will occupy the nearby islands and then complete our mission."

"Yes!"

The Beasts have occupied a lot of territories that originally belonged to Whitebeard. According to the battle situation feedback that Olga recently sent back, the newly occupied territories are now approaching the limit of what the Beasts can handle.

For them, it is not difficult to conquer this territory, and it is not difficult to just hang up a flag and collect protection fees. However, it takes a lot of energy and manpower to manage this island well, and handling limits also refers to this aspect.

......

With the new order, Jack also planned to return after occupying the nearby islands, leaving only a few people to garrison. Jack's Iron Mammoth continued to sail towards the sea ahead.

Here, the flag belonging to Whitebeard has been taken down by the residents of the island. Whitebeard is very popular in his territory, and most people are very grateful for the protection brought by his flag.

Even though Whitebeard was dead, this situation did not change immediately.

The pirates of the Beasts did not insult the flag. Even Kaido recognized Whitebeard's strength, so they naturally would not do such a meaningless thing.

However, Sipshead could see an expression of reluctance in the eyes of some of the islanders.

When Jack and his crew first arrived on the island, these people resisted, but were easily defeated.

"Don't be unconvinced. In a few days, you will be thankful that our flag is hung here. Do you think you can defend this island with your mediocre skills?

This is a new world. If we weren't here, there would be other pirates. If it were another pirate group, their methods wouldn't be as gentle as ours."

Sippshead fiddles with a piece of ore in his hand, which is one of the reasons why they occupied the island.

Islands without sufficient value are not in the priority occupation sequence of the beasts, unless the geographical location of the island is critical and failure to occupy it may cause other territories to become enclaves.

“You give us resources, we protect your safety, everything is the same as before, and you can even live better.

Time will tell, or you can try and see if you can beat us."

While crushing the ore in his hand with one hand and drawing a pie for the residents in front of him, Sipshead also demonstrated his military power again.

In fact, what he said was not wrong. Islands in the New World that were unable to protect themselves usually ended up in a bad way, such as Jack's destination.

Due to the location, he arrived at the island a few days later. When he landed, the originally peaceful island had already become dilapidated, the houses were on fire, and the sound of crying spread outward in the sea of ​​fire...

Chapter 1016 The Only Victorious Party

"Brother Jack, it looks like someone got there first."

"I saw."

The firelight reflected into Jack's eyes, which made him feel not very good.

He did not sympathize with the islanders. That was not his character. He was unhappy only because the island was destroyed like this.

This resulted in him being unable to perfectly complete the occupation mission assigned to him by Kaido. What he wanted was a complete island, not ruins.

"Murloc Karate·Gun Wave!"

Jack's actions were also very direct. They are all pirates, and there is no morality to speak of at this time.

Grabbing the sea water on the beach, Jack destroyed the opponent's pirate ship with a Fishman Karate, and then walked towards the interior of the island with his subordinates.

Inside the island, adults were holding weapons and struggling to resist the pirates in front of them. Above them was a pirate flag belonging to Whitebeard, but this flag could no longer bring them any protection.

"You should have received the news. This is no longer Whitebeard's territory. You should know this, right? This sign is no longer useful!"

After cutting off the flagpole that held the flag, the pirate stepped on Whitebeard's pirate flag with his feet, his words full of disdain.

"From today on, this island is my territory!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you say such things?"

Before the pirate could finish his words, Jack's deep voice could be heard from behind him.

“Who is it?! I am…but…”

He wanted to say his name arrogantly, but in the end, he swallowed the words back.

A huge bronze elephant appeared in front of the pirate. Facing an opponent who was far weaker than him, Jack still loved the beast form.

His metal body was so strong that ordinary people couldn't hurt him even without using his domineering power, and Jack's appearance was familiar to everyone in the New World.

Iron Mammoth Jack, with a bounty of 10 billion berries, is the most eye-catching cadre among the cadres of the new era of beasts. Whether in terms of bellicosity or frequency of battles, he is second to none among the cadres of the new generation of beasts. In recent years, he has even been vaguely known as the fourth disaster.

Kaido's activities in the Marineford War brought more than just an increase in his own bounty. Correspondingly, the entire Beasts Pirates were influenced by Kaido and Arceus, and their bounties increased to a certain extent.

Quinn's bounty still has to deduct the bonus of the pot, but now Jack's bounty does not have the bonus of ivory, but real combat power.

"Hmm? Why don't you say anything?"

"me..."

At this time, a Frost Fairy came out from the braid on Jack's head, looked at the pirate in front of him, and patted Jack's head with both hands, implying that he didn't remember this person.

In a sense, Jack's brain capacity is limited. He only remembers the famous pirates on the sea, and other than that he can't recognize the other party's identity at all.

Frosty Milk Fairy is slightly stronger than him. As long as the bounty is over 100 million, it will have some impression. If even it doesn't remember it, it means that the pirate in front of it is just one of many small fry.

boom!

After that, looking at the enemy who was frightened to the point of being tongue-tied, Jack swung his trunk decisively and knocked him directly into the rock wall nearby.

"Kill them all. From now on, this island is the territory of all beasts."

In an instant, the situation on the island reversed. The pirates who were originally the perpetrators now encountered stronger pirates.

The war of beasts was about to end, which meant that the opportunities to accumulate merit became fewer. Jack's subordinates were warlike by nature, and in order to accumulate more merit in this final battle, they rushed forward as soon as Jack gave the order.

"With Whitebeard dead, all kinds of people have jumped out."

Looking at the pirates being defeated easily by his subordinates, Jack had no desire to take action at all. After all, they were too weak.

Taking advantage of this time, he has come to the island residents.

"I think you have no objection to flying our flag here."

Although it was a question, Jack did not give them the right to veto, and this was just a process. No matter what the answer was, it would not affect Jack's next move. It would only affect the future management method of the island.

And looking at the burning island, the people in charge on the island did not reject this matter.

Similar situations not only occurred here, but also occurred in the territories that originally belonged to Whitebeard. The islands that had already hung the flags of Beasts or BIG MOM were not affected.

Whitebeard is dead, but Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are still alive and well, and their flags have the same or even stronger deterrent power.

Although Charlotte Linling has excessive demands for food, she can still guarantee the quality of life of the residents under her rule under this premise. Not to mention the beasts, the team in charge of governance is already on their way.

As for those islands that were not occupied, they became the most unfortunate group of people after losing their shelter.

After settling the island and hanging the flag of the beasts on it, Jack led his men to suppress the pirates who were intent on causing trouble nearby, and then led his team on the return journey.

Olga's actions are similar to Jack's, the biggest difference is the fighting style. Jack's opponents were defeated head-on after seeing Jack's face, while Olga only saw the pirate flag when the enemy died.

The tail blade and sniper of the Thousand Faces Escape Artist after he became invisible, and the internal strife caused by the illusion made them have no idea who the enemy was.

Not to mention the navy and Whitebeard who already suffered huge losses, and Blackbeard who was completely wiped out.

Both Big Mom and Red Hair had some unsatisfactory experiences in this war, except for Beasts, who did not suffer any losses. Kaido had a great time fighting and his territory was expanded.

Arceus found the icicle slab, and the Cult of Arceus gained another miracle, while also enriching their doctrines.

At most, Quinn had half more to blame, but he had already been in so much debt that he could do nothing about it.

Guidao also prepared a similar banquet, but this was only for the beasts; it was not so smooth for others.

For example, Moriah, relying on Absalom's ability, he successfully escaped from Marinford, but the little bit of spirit he had left was completely destroyed by Kaido.

Kaido has proved with facts that no matter his zombie army or its current strength, it is a joke facing Kaido.

This caused Moria to become a complete loser and he began to waste his time. Even his living expenses came from gossip that Abrarom obtained by using the ability of the transparent fruit.

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates also began to return to the New World after being coated, but looking at the new flag on Fishman Island, the Whitebeard Pirates felt quite complicated.

Chapter 1017: Sadness and Joy, the Same World, Different Lives

"Dad's flag...is no longer there."

At the entrance of Fish-man Island, a new flag stands on the flagpole. The deterrent power of the beasts makes the pirates who arrive at Fish-man Island dare not have any other evil thoughts. They either pass through the border honestly or become ghosts in the sea.

But for the Whitebeard Pirates, this gap is still too big. A few days ago, when they were passing through Fishman Island and heading to Marinford, the flag here was still their flag, but now everything has changed.

The same goes for the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, they are pirates who came together because of Whitebeard.

The composition of the Whitebeard Pirates is not like the original Rocks Pirates or the short-lived Blackbeard Pirates, who have no morality at all, but their composition is also mixed.

After Whitebeard's death, the pirate team did not disband, but maintained its original status under the leadership of various captains.

But the situation is different for those affiliated pirate groups. Some captains died in the War of Marineford, and the remaining ones have their own thoughts. Some choose to continue flying Whitebeard's flag, while others have regained their independence.

Unless someone can take up the banner left by Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates will be in name only.

Today they are still a powerful force in the new world, but have withdrawn from the first echelon.

Marco had expected Fishman Island to change its flag, and he also knew that Fishman Island had a certain connection with Beasts, but the speed of changing the flag was beyond his expectations.

"Marco, there's nothing we can do about it. Fishman Island needs to survive. I hope you can understand our approach. And to be honest, Newgate's last words... brought us quite a bit of trouble."

It was Neptune who received them again. The king was quite busy during this period.

The help Whitebeard brought to them was real. Even though the banner of the Beasts was now raised, Neptune was not so ruthless and still warmly received Marco and others.

After Whitebeard's death, Marco has become the acting captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. For the Whitebeard Pirates, there will always be only one captain.

Whether now or in the future, the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates will probably be vacant.

If Whitebeard were still alive, the successor he designated would most likely be Ace, but it is impossible for Ace to take over this position now. Neither he himself nor the other crew members can accept this for the time being.

Listening to Neptune's explanation, Marco sighed, knowing that he had no reason to say anything.

"I know... but Fishman Island probably won't need us in the future."

"..."

Neptune did not reply, but everyone understood that Fish-man Island, which was protected by all beasts, no longer needed the remnants of Whitebeard, and the remnants of Whitebeard were not capable of protecting Fish-man Island.

"Then we won't stay any longer, King Neptune. We are going back to our father's territory."

......

The territory being occupied by other pirates was something that Marco and the others had expected. It was not surprising that Beasts and Big Mom took action, as they were now unable to offend them, who had the combat power of the Four Emperors.

Now they no longer need as much territory as before, so the Whitebeard Pirates set their sights on Whitebeard's hometown - Sphinx Island.

This impoverished island could not produce any gold from the sky, so it naturally had no qualifications to become a member state. As time went by, it became a lawless country.

Although Whitebeard became a pirate when he was a child, he always missed the land where he was born and transported supplies here from time to time. Even though he had no friends and family on this island, Whitebeard still had a special feeling for his hometown.

What Whitebeard has been protecting is also what Marco and the others want to protect, but this island, they don't want to give it to anyone.

Sphinx Island is far away from BIG MOM's territory. The only one at risk is the Beasts, but the Beasts gave up the island. This was also the intention of Kaido and Arceus.

Sphinx Island is too poor, the location is not good, there is no unique advantage, and there is no gain in occupying it. In this case, they directly left it to the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It is much better to give these people a fixed place than to let them run around the world.
