I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

The Cross Guild's leaders, including Xilu of Rain and the King of Evil Government, all couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

But then, he sneered.

Each of their eyes was blazing with bloodthirstiness and anticipation.

"It's a little early... but it's just right. Let's take care of them!"

The fallen angel Azazel narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "It will save you a lot of trouble when the time comes!"

As he spoke, he was extremely decisive and directly gave orders to Buggy the Joker, the nominal president of the Cross Guild, with his powerful observation Haki.

Prepare to engage in direct battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Determine the winner.

Anyway, the current Whitebeard Pirates.

The losses in the Battle of Marineford were heavy, with most of the troops lost.

Especially under Ryan's hellfire that did not distinguish between friend and foe, even many of his captains died.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Whitebeard Pirates had to split up their forces to guard different islands due to the various forces that were ready to make moves and constantly provoking them. They were simply unable to gather too many troops in a short period of time.

They, the Cross Guild, are not afraid at all.

"The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, after losing that old fellow Whitebeard, didn't they just hide and try to survive? How dare they be so arrogant..."

Buggy the Joker, who was in tears and panic, quickly calmed down.

He raised his right arm high and shouted passionately, "Guys, go kill them!"

“Oh—oh—”

"Kill them!!!"

Countless pirates.

There they were, holding their weapons and shouting excitedly.

As long as they defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, no one can stop them from ascending to the throne of the "Four Emperors".

...

now-

In the middle half of the New World, Barrikal Island.

Led by the Moby Dick, pirate ships of various styles gathered there, full of murderous intent.

The sea was still filled with smoke and the smell of blood.

The wreckage of some sunken ships still floats there.

There were also some bloody corpses that attracted the sea beasts to eat them, and the scene was extremely bloody.

"These guys who don't know how to live or die..."

"That bastard Buggy the Joker will be killed sooner or later!"

"Even if my father is gone, it's not their turn to act recklessly on the Whitebeard Pirates' territory!"

Coastside.

The aroma of meat is so tempting that it makes people's mouths water.

A large number of delicious dishes were served.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the captains of those ships all looked grim.

Because it was almost noon, they were gathered there for lunch.

Eat and devour.

"Captain Marco!!"

A member of the Whitebeard Pirates hurried over.

Holding a Den Den Mushi, sweating profusely, he said, "This is a Den Den Mushi from the Cross Guild. They said they want to talk to you!"

"Hmm?" Marco, who was eating, put down the meat with bones.

He wiped his hands and took the Den Den Mushi.

Hearing the words—

Other captains and captains also put down their food.

I looked over subconsciously.

"Moses, Moses, I'm Marco!"

Marco spoke in a deep voice.

"Yahahaha, Sassi ignores Dana, Marco... I'm Buggy the Joker!"

Soon, a burst of arrogant laughter came from the Den Den Mushi.

It simulates the outline of Buggy the Joker, and the red nose is particularly conspicuous, making it look a bit hideous and scary.

"Bucky, you bastard..."

Phoenix Marco's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "What do you want from me? If you want to beg for mercy, I tell you, it's too late!"

They have already made up their minds to attack the Cross Guild and demonstrate the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Announce to the outside world that even if they lost Captain Whitebeard, their Whitebeard Pirates are still not to be provoked and have enough strength to defeat all invading enemies.

Severely deter those ambitious people who are ready to make moves.

"Beg for mercy? That's impossible!"

Den Den Mushi imitated Buggy the Clown's voice and said arrogantly, "I'm here to challenge you stray dogs!!"

"A challenge?"

"Too arrogant..."

"This bastard clown!!"

"Marco, promise him!"

"When have we, the Whitebeard Pirates, ever been afraid of anyone?"

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the pirate captains under them.

They all looked grim and gnashed their teeth in anger.

They all spoke loudly there.

"Okay, let's have a showdown!"

Seeing this, "Phoenix" Marco did not object.

He spoke coldly to the Den Den Mushi: "Time and place!"

For them, the sooner they get rid of the Cross Guild, the better.

Otherwise, the wolves around will gather more and more and pounce on you one after another.

Everyone wants a bite.

Moreover, they lost Whitebeard, their backbone.

At this time, if the Whitebeard Pirates cannot show their powerful strength and stabilize people's hearts.

Next, I am afraid that the pirate groups under their command will have different ideas and no longer obey the command of their captains.

Perhaps the huge Whitebeard Pirates may be torn apart.

Completely decline.

"Then it'll be three days from now... Oslak Sea, Hagenmari Islands!"

"Okay—" Marco frowned, but agreed without hesitation: "Let's put an end to it when the time comes!"

"Yeah, hahahaha, see you then!"

.......

Chapter 315: The Empress's Transformation, Rayleigh and Ace [Update 1]

the next day.

Spread by Newsbird.

The headlines of the news that the Cross Guild officially declared war on the Whitebeard Pirates.

It spread all over the world at an astonishing speed.

It caused a huge sensation.

It has attracted worldwide attention.

The whole sea.

All forces are paying attention.

Waiting for the two major forces to truly decide the outcome.

After all, it was the Cross Guild that rose to the top like a storm by riding on the prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Or will the Whitebeard Pirates crush the powerful Cross Guild with ease, and use their absolute power to declare to the outside world that even if they have lost Captain Whitebeard, they are still the unshakable pirate emperor of the New World?

"Is the Cross Guild and the Whitebeard Pirates going to war?"

And the first half of the Grand Line, the edge of the doldrums.

A red pirate ship full of classic style, towed by two poisonous sea snakes, was moving slowly there.

Looking at the World Economic Report just delivered by the Newsbird, Xia Qi, who was leaving the Calm Belt on the ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates, preparing to return to the Sabaody Archipelago to check on the situation, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This is really incredible news!"

"Oh?"

Sandasonia, one of the three Gorgon sisters, was surprised and asked, "Shaqi, I remember that Fire Fist Ace is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, right?"

"Well, the peak war at the Marine Headquarters not long ago was caused by him..."

Holding a cigarette in her mouth, Xia Qi read the newspaper and responded nonchalantly.

"You should have left a Den Den Mushi with Rayleigh, right? Do you want to notify them?" the bloated Marigold asked directly.

"No need. Even if Ace wants to rush to the New World to support the Whitebeard Pirates, it's too late..."

Xia Qi shrugged.

He handed the newspaper to the curious Marigold, "And knowing this news, Ace's impulsive personality will never be able to calm down and practice with Rayleigh..."

"Just let him practice there quietly!"

He flicked his cigarette butt, exhaled smoke and said, "After all, if the Whitebeard Pirates can't stop the Cross Guild, even if there's one more guy, the result will be the same!"

"Moreover, with the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if they can't defeat them, they won't be wiped out so easily!"

Speaking of it.

She smiled and looked towards the stern.

That beautiful figure who was exercising there tirelessly, sweating profusely.

"In comparison, the one who really surprised me was Hancock. I haven't seen her work so hard in a long time!"

"Yes, since returning from the Battle of Marineford, Sister has been working even harder!"

Watching Boa Hancock, who was completely immersed in her training, completely indifferent to the outside world, sweating profusely, Sandasonia smiled and nodded. "Even when she's going on a campaign, she hasn't given up any time for training. It's like she's become a completely different person!"

"It seems that what Blood Prison Ryan said really had a great impact on her!"

Xia Qi sighed.

Obviously, the power of those monsters was witnessed firsthand during the Battle of Marineford.

This made Empress Hancock realize the gap between herself and those top powerhouses.

However, this is obviously not a bad thing for the Nine Snakes Pirates and Amazon Lily.

Times are changing, and the development of science and technology always brings various problems. The navy's warships can now enter the doldrums, which were once restricted navigation areas and served as nests of large sea kings, at any time.

In the past, the Daughter Island, which had a natural barrier like the doldrums and could ignore any enemy threats and move freely, is no longer safe.
