"Marshal, I've already guessed this outcome. A man like White Beard definitely wouldn't hide forever with his men. The reason he chose to hide two years ago was to weaken his existence. After all, at that time, he didn't have the ability to dominate the entire New World. He hid to preserve his strength and waited for an opportunity to appear again.”
"You mean he thinks the time has come?" Kong raised an eyebrow.”
"We don't know if the time is right or not," Zhan Guo said."But since he has appeared, it means that he won't continue to hide. The White Beard Pirates will definitely stir up a whirlwind and sweep through the entire New World."”
Kong nodded and said,"Right now, the strongest forces in the New World are the Hundred Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. But you and I should know very well that compared to the two of them, the White Beard Pirates are the greatest threat."”
"I know," Zhan Guo said."Although the Hundred Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are powerful, their strength is still not comparable to White Beard. More importantly, their pirate groups may be strong for ten or twenty years, but as they get older, they will inevitably decline. However, the White Beard Pirates were different. The White Beard Pirates needed more cohesion. Furthermore, they had a rookie with extraordinary potential. That Edward Ji Lingyun would definitely support the White Beard Pirates when the White Beard Pirates grew old in the future. Therefore, the White Beard Pirates were the greatest threat.”
Kong said,"That's right. It's best if you can see it clearly. Back then, we didn't capture that brat and let him escape back to the White Beard Pirates. White Beard would definitely protect him strictly. Once he becomes powerful, he will definitely pose a great threat to our navy."”
"Since we can't deal with that brat now, we must put all our energy into the new world," Zhan Guo said."The appearance of White Beard means that the situation will change drastically. We must make preparations in advance."”
"Yes." Kong nodded and said,"Zhan Guo, I'll be transferred away in two months, so I'll leave all the matters of the navy to you. You should be familiar with it in two years, so you should know how to deal with it. I won't say anything more.”
"Thank you for your trust, Marshal," Zhan Guo replied."I will shoulder the responsibility of the navy and let the justice of the navy last forever."”
In fact, Kong's trust was indeed correct. At the very least, in the 20 years that he had been the Navy Marshal of the Sengoku Republic, he had not committed any major mistakes. Although the later system of the Royal Seven Martial Seas was flawed, it had to be admitted that the Royal Seven Martial Seas had indeed divided the forces of the pirates and made the entire world much more stable. In the end, he even defeated the White Beard Pirates. Even if the victory was not very glorious, a victory was a victory. No one could refute this point.
"Alright," Kong said."I won't ask about the navy for the next two months. You don't need to consult me about any decisions you make. You can do whatever you want."”
Zhan Guo replied seriously,""Yes, Marshal!"
No matter how much shock the White Beard Pirates 'appearance had caused the world, they had already arrived at the hometown of Lakejo's brother, Seaberg Town.
Seeberg Town was not a very big town. However, because it was close to the sea and the people in the town were good at fishing, the town was relatively rich. That was why the Wild Wolf Pirates took a fancy to it. Moreover, it happened to be close to the edge of the Hundred Beast Pirates 'forces. Although it did not belong to the Hundred Beast Pirates, there were no other large pirate groups here, so the Wild Wolf Pirates occupied the place.
"Dad, this is the place." Lakeye brought his brother along and said to White Beard.
Looking at the ruined town, White Beard frowned slightly. From the appearance of the town, one could tell what kind of looting had happened here.
White Beard and the others had just entered the town, but they realized that they did not see anyone at all. This made someone unable to help but ask curiously,"Where did everyone go?”
Lakeyue's brother said,"Many people were killed. Those guys are a bunch of lunatics. They killed without paying. But the people in the town are all ordinary people. They want too much money. How many people can afford it? "Our family didn't give us money, that's why we were killed by them, sob sob…"
Speaking of the sad matter, Locatello's brother couldn't help but burst into tears again. Although crying as a man would be looked down upon by others, no one present looked down on him. This was because his crying wasn't because he was cowardly, but because he was angry and unwilling.
"Brother, we will definitely avenge our sister-in-law and the others. Just wait and see.”Lakeye comforted his brother.
There were not many people in the White Beard Pirates. Other than some people who stayed on the Mobydick, there were only 20 or so people who got off the ship. Under the leadership of White Beard, the group of people headed toward the inner part of Siberg Town.
The White Beard Pirates did not see anyone when they were at the seaside, but after they entered Seaberg Town, they still did not see anyone. Instead, they saw a mess. There were even bloodstains on the ground and walls. It was obvious that they had just experienced a miserable battle.
Ji Lingyun frowned as he looked at the mess and said in a deep voice,"A small town has actually become like this. Don't those pirates have any humanity? Even if it was for money, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?”
The White Beard Pirates were much calmer. Marko said to Ji Lingyun,"Ling Yun, you've only been a pirate for the shortest amount of time, so you haven't really seen how terrifying pirates can be. Some pirates are willing to do anything for money. Of course, most of them won't go overboard. After all, we're not stupid. It's fine if you kill and rob once, but it'll be bad for your reputation if you do it too often.”
Ji Lingyun remained silent. In the past, he didn't think much of it when he read comics and animations. However, after coming into contact with it, he realized that the world of pirates wasn't as good as he imagined. In the world of pirates, not everyone followed the rules. Perhaps there were many pirates who were forthright and loyal, but the vast majority of pirates were kind people. They were even more capable of doing anything.
