This mother-son duo simply does not understand the advantages of the Navy in the park stage.
When the ocean's first armed force really gets serious, targets that don't know how to hide and restrain themselves will not be able to escape the encirclement.
Except for the heavy losses in the beginning due to not understanding the opponent's strength, victory was already in their grasp in the later stages.
Finally, there was a fierce clash with the navy in a town.
Miss Bakin was hacked to death, and at the last moment, Weeble ran away from the encirclement and escaped into the sea.
The two vice admirals who failed to complete the mission were very annoyed and ordered the fleet to continue searching for Weeble's whereabouts until he was killed.
Ghost Spider was even more furious, as he paid the price of losing an arm.
Marshal Kizaru at the headquarters also agreed to the request of the two lieutenant generals.
They failed to stop the mole despite the tight encirclement, and it was indeed their dereliction of duty to eliminate the pirates.
If Akainu still had a spirit in heaven, he would definitely be very sad about their downfall. Fortunately, Marshal Kizaru was reasonable and decided to help them.
If you can't catch Weibull, you don't have to go back to the headquarters.
The navy's affairs are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
By mid-1523, big moves had already begun in the New World.
Chapter 819: The Pirate World Fearing Each Other
The beginning of the year 1523 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The new pirate alliance in the New World gradually becomes more stable.
Almost all the pirate groups except the Twin Emperors gathered here. Even if the core members did not come, they sent a few cadres to strengthen their momentum.
They were all brothers and were determined to uphold justice, so they soon formed a huge alliance.
This newly emerged alliance also went through a long period of open and covert fighting within itself before it gradually stabilized.
Of course, the crazy offensive of the Cross Guild also played a big role here.
A very powerful external enemy can make people inside unite quickly, and many controversial issues can be resolved in a very pirate-like way.
After all, if the trouble continues, the alliance might be destroyed.
That Buggy is a super psychopath who will start fighting if you look at him for a second in a crowd. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?
Although the alliance was stable, the position of the leader was never chosen or simply not set.
Which pirate doesn't have the ambition to sit on such a throne?
In fact, anyone who can command such a huge force can challenge the emperor.
Basically, the previous goals of fighting for life and death do not need to be achieved. As long as a pirate sits in this position, his life will be considered complete.
The benefits and fame involved are enormous. It can be said that this is a rare opportunity for these pirates to influence the situation.
With so many parties pulling the strings and no one willing to give in, it's naturally impossible to elect a leader.
There are several big pirates who are equally matched in terms of territory and strength, and each of them has just as many subordinates as the other.
Moreover, the most reliable way to take on the position of the boss is to have the strength of an emperor.
But if this alliance had really been incorporated long ago, who would continue to maintain the loose structure? This would be a dead end.
In the end, with the support of various alliances and the use of force, the battle ended with Silver Axe's victory.
He temporarily takes over as the leader of the New Pirate Alliance to engage in limited confrontation with Buggy's Cross Guild, seeking an opportunity for peace in the battle.
After all, Silver Axe is not only older but also stronger.
More importantly, he had a plausible reason, which was to avenge his good brother Wang Zhi.
Although he had coveted Wang Zhi's Beehive Island and had fought with him several times in the past few years, it did not prevent him from shouting a loud slogan.
My brother Wang Zhiren is gone, so he won't object to me borrowing his name. Let's go back to the close relationship we had during the Rocks period.
At this time, Silver Axe will fight against anyone who dares to say that they are not good brothers.
They were sworn brothers on Rocks' ship, and Wang Zhi was his most loyal younger brother at that time.
The story about a person's death is just made up.
Don't always think that pirates are crude and brainless idiots. When it comes to plotting and making up stories, they are really good at it, one after another.
Taking over the position of acting alliance leader, he would have to shoulder all the same responsibilities.
So Silver Axe racked his brains to think about how to use this opportunity to expand his power.
I can’t even think about swallowing it because I don’t have the hard power to do so.
And he also understands that at this age he has lost the opportunity to break through.
There is no concept of late bloomer in the ocean. People are labeled as monsters when they are young.
Some are truly monsters, and some are just poorly-informed people.
For example, Doflamingo is a monster, and Whitebeard is also a monster. How can they be compared together?
Silver Axe didn't make it through during Rocks' time, and he didn't make a breakthrough during Roger's time either.
When the Four Emperors took office, they basically said goodbye to the top line, and their morale was suppressed.
So he is very pragmatic now. This alliance is neither long-lasting nor safe, so it is better to give himself more benefits.
Of course, he also led people out to fight a few times.
Unfortunately, I encountered a newly arrived sand crocodile for the first time.
After a stop in the desert, Crocodile felt that he was still not strong enough and fell into deep thought. Barrett was once on par with him.
As a result, he soared to the sky. Although he died, the shock he received was quite great.
Could it be that his practice was too stable and lacked stimulation? At this time, he even wanted to contact Noah to communicate.
Then I thought about the fact that this revolutionary light had also been settled privately, and I became confused.
After that, he received a call from Buggy from the titular Cross Guild, who invited him to come to the New World to show his prowess.
I don’t know how Buggy fooled him, or maybe Crocodile himself had the same idea.
The two hit it off immediately.
In the battle, Lao Sha showed his strength as the strongest man under the top level, carrying the whole game by himself and playing with great success.
Silver Axe never had the upper hand during the fight, but was always in a suppressed state.
This was happening above the sea without the aid of terrain, and in this environment that clearly restrained the Sand-Sand Fruit, he was still able to achieve results. This showed that Lao Sha's strength had gradually transcended this level.
Moreover, he is becoming stronger and stronger in terms of dominance and physique, and never fights head-on.
He is completely different from the newcomer who was driven out of the New World by Whitebeard. No wonder he can sit in the top position in the Cross Guild.
Later, when more and more people were beaten into mummies and the outcome of the battle was clear, Silver Axe led his men to make a strategic shift.
It’s not that we can’t hold on, but that we can’t fight a meaningless battle.
Silver Axe ran back like this, looking like he was thinking about everyone.
Of course, his pirate team suffered no losses, but this also caused dissatisfaction among other alliance members.
Isn't it too rude to elect you as the acting boss and then go out and kill other people's subordinates?
Silver Axe knew that he was in the wrong, so he decided to bring more of his brothers with him the second time.
And he thought that a great master like Crocodile couldn't always show up, so he should be allowed to take the spotlight this time.
When he failed to steal the house, he ran into the Nine Snake Queen who came to practice with her disciples.
This time it was even worse. He lost a lot of his own men, which made him furious.
But he didn't dare to continue to compete with the empress. It's not that he was afraid of him in terms of fighting power, but it was mainly because women could go crazy and become unreasonable.
And the ability of that fruit is really too much.
There are many people who, after getting Haki in their hands, only delay the spread of the ability but don't eliminate it. This is not Pirate at all.
Isn't it said that Haki can suppress the power of the fruit? This common practice among masters actually didn't work.
This Shichibukai is something.
When the World Government first reorganized the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the pirates in the New World were having a great time.
Those so-called great pirates are all marginal figures in the pirate world, and some are even newcomers who were eliminated by the New World.
Except Hawkeye, they refused to admit defeat to anyone, and now they were beaten badly by these mocking guys.
The only way to make yourself look less useless is to flatter your opponent.
After coming back, they cursed the Cross Guild for being too bullying and said that if they had the guts, they should just attack them.
Why do we have to change one person every time?
Will the next one to come back be Hawkeye or Rayleigh? What a bunch of hateful guys.
Jealousy, crazy jealousy is followed by impotent rage.
After several consecutive defeats, the New Pirate Alliance suffered heavy losses.
If they had pressed forward in large numbers, they would not be afraid of one or two Shichibukai, but they were unable to do so and the fight ended up like this.
It was only at this time that they realized that it would not work without a top-level strong man. At least most of the pressure and battles could be handed over to such a strong man.
We are confident enough to fight against ordinary pirates.
Currently, when fighting with the Cross Guild, they are really afraid that Captain Buggy or Kenshin Himura will suddenly show up and reap their heads, so naturally they will not fight with all their strength.
And the pirate group needs fresh blood.
If they don't replenish it, they will have to risk their own core to fight against others, which is unacceptable for any pirate group.
What’s even more terrible is that the World Government’s raid in the Paradise Stage had a very significant impact on the power of these pirates in the New World.
They were already stretched to the limit, and now the bloodline of their roots had been cut off. They were facing crises in everything from supplies to personnel.
In addition, the Revolutionary Army has been suppressing pirates in all seas, and now the world is too unfriendly to pirates.
Silver Axe also understood that if he continued this, this group of people would fall apart.
As for pirates, it's unrealistic to expect them to be steadfast.
So he came up with two ideas.
First of all, they need a real powerful general to be the leader, but he cannot be the leader of a big force.
He gave two names that everyone thought were acceptable.
Rick Redfield, the Lone Red Baron, and Edward Weeble, the Second Whitebeard.
Everyone knows about the Red Earl.
According to Paradise's intelligence, the other party appeared in the first half of the Grand Line.
After the Battle of Judicial Island became known, it became known that this old monster from the same period was still alive.
This is a lone wolf, and his strength is absolutely strong.
The fact that he was able to escape unscathed from the Judicial Island proves that he is still as skilled as ever.
Moreover, some people have witnessed that he now looks like a young man, so maybe he has recovered his peak combat power.
Of course, the Red Earl has not joined any forces over the years, so everyone is more confident in letting this kind of person come.
The chances of resisting the Cross Guild are much greater, and you can also avoid your own risks.
As for how to get the other party to agree, it depends on whether the benefits and material things they can offer can impress the other party.
If that doesn't work, there are alternatives.
The silly-looking Whitebeard II is a good candidate for the role of a great enemy.
The enemy's ability to escape from two fully equipped vice admiral-class battleships should not be underestimated.
Anyone who has actually fought against the navy knows that the power of artillery below the general level cannot be ignored.
The firepower of the two fleet groups was already terrifying. Basically, if Silver Axe felt that he was surrounded, it would be difficult for him to escape.
