Chapter 339: Untitled
On a stretch of sea in the New World.
The Moby Dick was sailing forward.
On board, Whitebeard and Kaido sat facing each other.
"The Dragon Flame Pirates are even stronger than you said. They already possess strength on the level of the captain and the others."
Kaido said in a low voice.
Although they had been drinking together, Whitebeard had disrupted his chance to break through, so he was still in a very bad mood.
"You've seen it for yourself?" Whitebeard looked at him solemnly.
"Yeah. As soon as I reached his territory, a black dragon appeared. Its mere dragon's might was enough to defeat me. Very powerful."
Kaido nodded.
"A black dragon…"
A glint flickered in Whitebeard's eyes.
The black dragon had never appeared in front of others before—only once, during the killing of Abel.
So no one on the seas even knew of its existence.
"It seems we still underestimated him."
"Then should we ask him to take action and rescue the captain and the others?"
"What would we use to ask him… Against the World Government, he's still not enough."
"Hmph. If you hadn't come to interfere, I would've already broken through by now."
Kaido shot him a displeased glance.
"Gurarara! If anyone's breaking through first, it'll be me!" Whitebeard laughed loudly.
"You're about to break through too?" Kaido narrowed his eyes at him.
"That's right. I've already found the key. Within a year, I'll make the breakthrough." Whitebeard nodded.
"That's great. That'll increase our chances of victory."
…
In another sea region.
The Red-Haired Pirates.
"Captain, I didn't expect Summoner Ze to be that strong," Benn Beckman said seriously.
"Yeah. All of us underestimated him." Shanks nodded.
"Right now, he's probably the strongest person in the world, isn't he?" Benn Beckman said in a deep voice.
Shanks shook his head.
"The World Government is far stronger than you imagine."
Shanks sank into his memories.
Captain Roger had once told him that the most powerful family in the world was the D clan, but the World Government possessed the strongest military force in the world, used to suppress the seas. However, that force would not easily reveal itself.
If it ever did appear, it would mean something had happened on the seas that the World Government could no longer control.
"Just how strong would that be…"
Benn Beckman and the others said in shock.
"In any case… just be careful." Shanks shook his head.
…
On Dragon Island.
Jiang Qize returned to Ancestral Dragon Peak.
"My strength has pretty much reached a bottleneck. Beli isn't something I can earn in just a day or two. Hundreds of billions of Beli… that'll probably take a long time."
Sitting on the throne, Jiang Qize felt the surging power within his body and muttered.
"It's about time I go into seclusion for a while. The seas won't be too chaotic during this period."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes. His body was covered in jet-black and golden Armament Haki.
Buzz…
Buzz…
Sounds like thunder strikes echoed from within his body. From time to time, a trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of Jiang Qize's mouth, and waves of terrifying pressure enveloped the entire palace.
…
Across the seas, countless days and nights passed, and all things continued to change.
The Dragon Flame Pirates, led by Camon and the others, had returned to Dragon Island once, but they didn't stay long before setting sail again in separate groups.
The entire sea was constantly being divided into territories.
The Totto Land sea region that once belonged to Charlotte Linlin had now been occupied by the Red Demon Pirates, who were also recruiting aggressively, greatly increasing their strength.
As for the other Emperor-level pirate crews, aside from the Red-Haired Pirates, all of them had carved out their own territories. The New World was completely divided.
