Chapter 574: Adding Fuel to the Flames, the Light of a New Era
Under the night, the entire Dressrosa was in complete chaos.
But it was only on the surface... Doflamingo's 'dark factory' hidden underground was not affected.
"It seems that it will not be over for a while... Those agents guarded the entrance to the palace, using the terrain advantage to delay time as much as possible and conduct interrogation. They also know that once Blackbeard's men break in, their mission will end early."
In the sky, Oboro and Crocodile stood side by side, overlooking the royal city filled with fire and smoke.
There were cries and fighting noises everywhere.
After Crocodile finished speaking, he glanced at Oboro who was silent, "Even if their actions were disrupted, it would only be temporary. Now the government has joined forces with the other four emperors... The situation in Dressrosa will soon be spread. Let's not talk about Kaido and Big Mom, Red Hair will definitely provide support."
He wanted to say that it was not very meaningful to ask Blackbeard to intervene.
It was a temporary solution.
"Did you forget something?"
Oboro smiled slightly.
"Hmm?"
Sand Crocodile frowned.
"Their enemies... have never been just us."
Oboro put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the stars in the night sky that were covered by the fire. "Even if we weren't there... there are many people who want to defeat the Four Emperors in this sea. Since you chose to go to sea, from the moment you became a pirate, the Four Emperors have been targeted by thousands of people... There is no shortage of ambitious people in this world, let alone crazy and conceited people. When they focus all their attention on us, it means... when facing other variables, their defense will be greatly reduced."
Crocodile was thoughtful.
"I heard that Kaido and Red Hair have begun searching for us in the skies of the New World..."
"It's useless. The only ones who can threaten us are Kaido and Jin, but it's impossible for them to find us with their search speed and range. Ordinary flying capabilities and tools can't reach that height. The New World is quite large, and our island is not absolutely stationary. I can even move the Blood Pluto and the shipbuilding island to the Calm Belt, the first half of the Grand Line, or even any direction in the four seas... This sea is no obstacle for us."
"They... are just wasting time and energy."
Oboro said softly, "Just watch, it won't be long before this alliance collapses..."
After speaking, the airflow rose, and the two left Dressrosa and shot into the night.
...
Yes, something happened to Red Hair.
Even Shanks himself didn't expect that when they were gathering their forces to look for the Hell Pirates, someone took the opportunity to move around them'behind' and started stealing their home.
One of the members of the Worst Generation, Kidd!
This guy led his Kidd Pirates to invade the territory that originally belonged to the Four Emperors Red Hair.
Originally, as the Worst Generation, the new generation of pirate supernovas, their purpose of entering the Grand Line was to challenge the Four Emperors after "stepping into" the New World... Maybe other pirates would be afraid of the prestige and power of the Four Emperors, but at least most of the Worst Generation would not.
That's their vision.
According to the original plot, the Kidd Pirates also collided with the Four Emperors Red Hair, and Kidd had one arm cut off... But now, because of the interference of Halo, the Four Emperors did not deliberately "take care" of these people after they poured into the New World, so that they were less threatened.
In other words, the God Slayer led away all the firepower for them.
For example, the alliance of Kidd, Appu, and Hawkins did not encounter Kaido who fell from the sky this time.
Appu did not become Kaido's henchman in advance and become the "traitor" among the three.
Because Kaido has no time to deal with these little ghosts.
Now the whole world knows that the three Four Emperors are going to deal with the Hell Pirates.
With the fall of Whitebeard, the Four Emperors who have dominated for many years have collapsed, which undoubtedly gives these new generation strongmen hope... and arouses their ferocity. These people are not stupid, and they know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The new world is in chaos. On the one hand, a group of big and small fish are encroaching on the territory and resources left by the Whitebeard Pirates. On the other hand, the Hell Pirates have become the "number one public enemy"... All of these have made the Worst Generation smell an opportunity.
Why did Kidd and the other two set their sights on Red Hair? The reason is very simple. First, among the three Four Emperors, Red Hair has the strongest force against the Hell Pirates and has mobilized the most manpower. In this way, the defense force on the original territory must be empty. Moreover, Red Hair also sent some people to protect the Whitebeard remnants who were being hunted... Shanks was involved in a lot of manpower and energy.
Second, Shanks has been one of the Four Emperors for the shortest time. In terms of reputation, in most people's minds, he is still not as good as the old sea overlords like Kaido and Big Mom, and he does not have many world-shaking achievements.
Relatively low-key.
The third reason is that in the war on the top, his identity was revealed by the God Slayer, a Celestial Dragon.
To be honest, but because of this, many pirates are quite disgusted with Shanks, for no reason.
Maybe he can borrow the power of the World Government and his own skills to make the other two Four Emperors stand on the side, but for the huge grassroots pirate forces, the Red Hair Pirates have been "excluded" from their group.
…
Red Hair was restless, and so was Big Mom's pirate group.
The people they sent to Dressrosa were attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates.
Although they eventually repelled Teach, Charlotte Brin was shot dead by Van Oka, a sniper in the Blackbeard Pirates!
Marshall Teach's original purpose was not to fight to the death with Daifuku, Owen and others, but just to contain them... So during the fight, Blackbeard was quite disgusting, fighting and running away. If Owen and others gave up chasing, he would come again.
The two sides fought on the sea for three days and two nights... Blackbeard left in dismay until Brin was killed.
What annoyed Big Mom was that Teach obviously came with a purpose, and he was targeting Brin... This shows that Blackbeard knew about their plan to cooperate with the World Government.
Their intelligence was leaked.
Who is it?
There can't be a traitor in the Charlotte family!
In the end, Owen had to return to the Wano Country with Brin's body.
But the story is not over yet.
Not long after, another incident completely made Big Mom go berserk.
One of the members of the Worst Generation, Urouge of the Monk Pirates, led his men into his own territory and killed Charlotte Snaggle, one of the four generals of the dessert.
The 25th son of the Charlotte family, the Minister of Fried Food.
These young men of the new era began to show their talents one by one.
