In the end, Zhou Chen decided to be more careful when he moved because the navy headquarters did not capture him and did not have any information about him. Therefore, if the navy headquarters wanted to find him, they would definitely target him.
Saras was different from him. Although he was alone now, he used to have a background. With the power of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, they could still find him if they paid a certain price. Therefore, Saras was even more dangerous than him.
Zhou Chen was much more relieved about this. Moreover, he told Zhou Chen not to worry because he was confident that he would not be discovered.
After contacting Sarth, Zhou Chen began to consider his next move. He was now looking for the auction item for the second auction. Although the system had provided a perfect auction item, Zhou Chen did not dare to use it before the auction because if he used it, everyone would guess his identity if it appeared again at the auction.
The reason why he was so worried was that Zhou Chen was prepared to take off his mask and walk in the world with his own identity. Of course, it was not his original identity in this world. That identity was also very dangerous. He was prepared to create an identity out of nothing, and that was to start acting under his name.
"Since it has been decided, the Black Pearl cannot be used for the time being.”
The Black Pearl was prepared to be used as a mobile auction house, so naturally, it could not be related to his identity.
Zhou Chen arrived at an unknown island and put away the Black Pearl. Then, he put away the mask and everything else. He boarded a passing merchant ship and followed it to a country on the Great Sea Route.
Zhou Chen already had a few targets for the items in the second auction. The first was the demon fruit that would never lose its value in the world. There were two demon fruits that he had his eyes on. One was the Burning Fruit that definitely existed in the East Sea, and the other was the Thunder Fruit that existed on the empty island.
These two demon fruits were undoubtedly the most precious among all the demon fruits, but it was not easy to find them. The East Sea and Sky Island were both so big, and Sky Island was also a problem. He might not be able to find them even if he spent so much time searching, so Zhou Chen was still hesitating.
Although Zhou Chen had other plans, he was not prepared to act immediately. Instead, he wanted to do something else, an identity that would make it easier for him to walk in the world.
The Seven Martial Seas!
That's right, Zhou Chen's goal was a strategy that the world government and the navy headquarters had come up with to suppress the pirates in the New World. The Seven Martial Seas system was to use pirates to suppress pirates. Not only could it pull a portion of pirates into its camp and divide the pirate forces, but it could also secretly instigate internal strife among the pirate forces and weaken them.
This strategy was thought of by Admiral Zhan Guo. Later on, this system was undoubtedly proved to be wrong, but now, even in Zhou Chen's opinion, it was definitely a good strategy.
This was because the Seven Kings 'Sea of Martial Arts system could indeed effectively divide the pirate forces, preventing the Four Pirate Kings from completely ruling the new world. After all, as long as seven powerful and capable pirate groups could be selected, even if they could not compare to the Four Pirate Kings, they could still divide the pirate forces. This was of great significance to the navy headquarters.
Zhou Chen's goal was the location of the Seven Seas of the Kings. If he wanted to find a suitable auction item, he would have to deal with various factions. He had suddenly appeared, so it was naturally impossible for him to be accepted by the navy headquarters, nor could he obtain a suitable identity. He did not want to join the navy, so the neutral camp of the Seven Seas of the Kings was undoubtedly the most suitable for him. Even if he would be ostracized by some pirates and the navy headquarters, it would make his actions much more convenient.
In this day and age, one needed to be perfectly justified when doing things. As long as one had the identity of the Seven Seas of the Martial Arts, they could save a lot of trouble. The Seven Seas of the Martial Arts were originally chosen from pirates, so if they were a little ruthless, they would not be criticized by others. Moreover, they could use the privileges granted by the World Government to do things, which would be very convenient for their subsequent operations.
The only problem now was how to ascend to the position of the Sea of Seven Martial Arts.
The World Government and the Navy Headquarters did not recruit the Seven Warrior Seas randomly. The candidates they chose had to be powerful and influential. Looking at the Seven Warrior Seas later on, everyone was the top among the pirates, which was why they were able to maintain the balance between the New World's pirates and the Navy Headquarters. If the Seven Martial Seas were too weak, not only would they be useless, but they would also become a joke.
Therefore, if one wanted to become a Sea of Seven Martial Arts, the navy headquarters would recruit them as long as they had enough strength or a pirate group. The second was strength. If one didn't have enough power, but if one's personal strength was enough to suppress the heroes, one could also become a Seven Martial Seas, just like Hawkeye and Bartholomew Bear.
Although Zhou Chen had obtained a lot of rewards from the successful auction and his strength had changed greatly, he was still far from the top experts in the world. Moreover, his strength was still unstable.
The unstable factor was his ability to duplicate the fruit. If he could duplicate a powerful ability, such as the ability of a general or the ability to shake the fruit like White Beard, he would immediately become a top-notch expert. However, if he could not duplicate a good fruit ability, his strength would probably be weaker than that of a navy vice admiral.
In fact, from Zhou Chen's point of view, it was already very difficult for him to have his current strength. The hardships of the past few years had almost made him lose confidence. In those years, he had been running around, and there was a gap between him and the average navy officer. It was only after the system was activated that his confidence had increased, causing his strength to increase crazily for a period of time, reaching the strength of a navy rear admiral.
Later on, because he had faced so many world-class powerhouses during the auction, his aura had also been elevated. Then, he had fought with the Red Hound. Although it had been a short period of time, it had also allowed him to gain a lot of understanding. Now, his strength was still a little weaker than the Vice Admiral.
This was also one of Zhou Chen's worries. Such strength was not enough for him to ascend to the position of the Seven Martial Seas. If there was a large pirate group behind him, the navy headquarters might still consider it. However, if there was nothing, there were too many such pirates. Why would they choose him?
