CHAPTER 155
Under Barkin's treatment, Newgate had already regained consciousness.
He looked at Rocks' triumphant figure and couldn't help but sigh.
He never imagined that this man would really do it — becoming the undisputed overlord of the New World in such a short time.
Even he, who possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, was no match for Rocks.
Although Newgate greatly admired Rocks' strength, he did not fully agree with Rocks' philosophy of managing a pirate crew.
He believed that as a pirate captain, one should treat every crew member like family, not as cannon fodder or tools to achieve goals.
John watched box after box of heavy treasure being carried by busy pirates at the port onto the decks of the pirate ships, his eyes instantly turning into the shape of gold coins.
John was truly envious of these little darlings — he wished he could hide all this treasure in his own vault.
Seeing Gloriosa and the rest of the Rocks Pirates crew all gathered here, the corners of Vilin's mouth curled into a smile. With a happy expression, he brought Linlin and his adorable crew over.
"Hahaha!" "Congratulations, Captain, on becoming the overlord of the New World!"
Seeing Rocks' delighted expression, Vilin appropriately flattered him at the right moment.
After all, saying nice things costs nothing.
"Hahahahaha!" "Vilin, I like you more and more."
"Don't worry — I won't treat you meritorious crew members unfairly."
Hearing Vilin's praise, Rocks' expression toward Vilin became much gentler, and he let out hearty laughter.
Rocks had high hopes for Vilin's future.
After all, every time Vilin handed over crew dues to him, it was always the largest amount.
While the Rocks Pirates were celebrating this victory, in the first half of the New World, the battle between the Navy and Golden Pirates also reached its conclusion.
The war ultimately ended with the Navy's victory.
The Golden Pirates were completely shattered by the Navy, and many of their executives escaped the first half of the New World and entered the central New World.
The originally magnificent Golden City had long turned into ruins under the Navy's fierce assault.
Gold was scattered everywhere on the ground, dazzling to the eye.
"What are you looking at?" "This gold is to be brought back to Marine Headquarters — no one touches it."
A Marine stared blankly at the gold with longing eyes, but he was quickly driven away by the guards.
Seeing the Marine guard looking at him vigilantly, the Marine immediately felt nervous and left dejectedly.
Inside the conference room on Steel Bone Kong's flagship, almost all the Navy's top brass were gathered here.
After defeating the Golden Pirates, their faces were filled with wild joy.
While these Navy leaders were considering whether to take this opportunity to wipe out both the Rocks Pirates and Iron Wall Pirates in one go,
a Navy intelligence officer hurriedly pushed open the door and quickly came before Steel Bone Kong.
Steel Bone Kong took the intelligence report from the officer and immediately read it with a serious expression.
As time passed, everyone saw Steel Bone Kong's face grow increasingly grave.
At this moment, Steel Bone Kong felt deep regret inside.
He had originally planned to rest for one day and then head straight to the central New World to take down the battling Rocks Pirates and Iron Wall Pirates in one fell swoop.
He never expected the Iron Wall Pirates to be defeated by the Rocks Pirates.
This made him feel extremely regretful.
Seeing all the Navy leaders looking toward him, Steel Bone Kong finally let out a long sigh and said:
"Just received intelligence from the central New World!"
"The Iron Wall Pirates have been defeated by the Rocks Pirates." "Even Blite has been killed in battle."
"What?!"
Hearing Steel Bone Kong's words, the originally relaxed Navy leaders immediately jumped up in shock.
They never imagined that Blite, one of the overlords of the New World, would be killed by the Rocks Pirates.
"Looks like an even more terrifying pirate crew is about to emerge in the New World."
Hearing this news, Sengoku, known as the wise general, couldn't help but murmur in a voice only he could hear.
He had a premonition that this sea was about to enter an even more magnificent era.
"Hahaha!" "So what?" "If there's a chance, I definitely want to capture both Rocks and Roger."
Seeing Sengoku looking worried, Garp stuffed a whole doughnut into his mouth and chewed quickly.
Looking at Garp's carefree attitude, Sengoku immediately felt a headache and couldn't help roaring at Garp:
"Get serious, Garp!"
With Sengoku's punch flying out, a large bump quickly appeared on Garp's head.
Steel Bone Kong saw the usual bickering between Sengoku and Garp and immediately felt extremely tired.
"Hey, quiet down!"
Hearing Steel Bone Kong's roar, the conference room finally became silent.
"We can't rest now. We need to build defensive fortifications here as quickly as possible."
"We absolutely cannot hand this place over to anyone."
Upon receiving Steel Bone Kong's order, the Navy's top brass all perked up, their expressions turning serious.
"Understood!"
At the same time, a news article about the outcome of this battle was spreading across the sea at lightning speed.
After seeing this newspaper, ambitious pirates all rushed into the New World with fanaticism, planning to take advantage of the chaos in the New World to develop their own forces and hopefully become the next Rocks.
New World first half, on an unknown small island.
The Roger Pirates, who had just entered the New World not long ago, were holding a banquet here.
"Wahahahaha!" "What big news!"
"I never expected the New World to be so lively."
Roger looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face full of happy smiles.
Who would have thought that the Golden Pirates, who once had conflicts with him, would be defeated by the Navy.
Now only a few stragglers remained.
"Roger, the Rocks Pirates don't look easy to deal with." "We'd better be careful."
Seeing Roger so excited, Rayleigh drank a sip of cheap wine with a worried face and seriously warned Roger.
"Hahaha, Rayleigh!" "We are the freest pirates — how could we possibly be bound by the Rocks Pirates!"
Seeing Rayleigh unhappy, Roger immediately walked over, picked up the bottle beside him, and took a big swig.
"Partners, we set sail tomorrow!" "I can't wait to see the scenery of the New World."
Seeing that Roger had treated his words as wind past his ears, Rayleigh immediately felt depressed and took a hard drink.
He thought to himself: maybe it's not too late to leave the ship now.
