One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 42

Rayleigh nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Shiki actually lost. The Beasts Pirates, Wano Country, Wano Country?..." Roger muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Rayleigh asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Roger put his arm around Rayleigh, pulled him to the huge campfire, handed him a bottle of liquor, and laughed heartily, "Let's drink! Let's drink!"

Whitebeard Pirates.

On the Moby Dick, a blond man with a white beard sipped his wine, watching his children laughing and playing on the deck.

At that moment, Marco flew down from the mast and brought Whitebeard the latest newspaper.

The white-bearded man smiled, drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp, and opened the newspaper.

The bolded headline announcing the death of the Golden Lion instantly froze Whitebeard's smile.

“Golden Lion…is dead.” He murmured softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

After letting out a soft sigh, Whitebeard casually flipped open the latest bounty poster.

The Whitebeard Pirates occasionally kill notorious pirates and cooperate with bounty hunters, who then use the kills to exchange for bounties with the Marines. (I don't know where I saw this, but it says it's a major source of funding for the Whitebeard Pirates.)

Upon seeing Stusi holding the child, Whitebeard fell into a long silence.

Lingling, who only has a short attention span, started indulging in desserts like crazy after a few expeditions.

When Linlin saw the newspaper Katakuri handed her, she looked at the article and the picture of Kaido, her tongue greedily licking the corner of her mouth.

Meanwhile, in Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates cheered as they looked at the wanted posters in the newspaper.

"Haha, our Beasts Pirates are now on par with Roger and Whitebeard!" Queen said, puffing on a cigar and dancing mischievously.

Kaido sat on his throne, a hint of ambition in his eyes: "This is just the beginning. We will let the world know that the Beasts Pirates are the strongest!"

Lei Luo stood to the side, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

S: The previous chapter has been revised.

I initially wanted to use a humorous approach, but then I realized it wasn't quite right, so I made some simple changes. Those of you who watched it last night can go back and watch it again.

(I can earn another read. Hehe)

Chapter 64 Turmoil

After news of the Golden Lion's fall spread across the entire ocean, a territorial frenzy swept through the New World.

The New World was vast, and most of its islands and countries were brought under the control of the Golden Lion.

Now that the Golden Lion is dead, these territories are ownerless; act fast or miss out!

Pirates swarmed into the island that flew the golden lion and skull flag.

When one lion dies, ten thousand thieves are born!

The New World is a pirate paradise; the World Government and the Navy can't reach there. Those countries and islands are easy prey for them.

Even Whitebeard's sons couldn't sit still; they were all extremely envious.

"Dad, let's go too."

"Yes, Dad, the Golden Lion is gone, but there are so many rich lands, there's no reason for our Whitebeard Pirates not to want them."

"That's right, Dad. It's better for the Whitebeard Pirates to fly the Skull and Cross flag than for other pirates to take over. We're much more righteous than them."

The crew members surrounded the white-bearded man, chattering excitedly.

If they didn't all know that their father had no ambition, they would have even tried to persuade Whitebeard to conquer the entire New World.

Whitebeard couldn't very well go against his sons' wishes.

The Whitebeard Pirates have been living a very frugal life these past few years, saving money to send back home.

But his inner sense of righteousness wouldn't allow him to act like the Golden Lion, resorting to force and robbery.

The white-bearded man nodded slightly in agreement.

Indeed, as his sons said, it's better to do it himself than to leave it to the other pirates.

Charlotte Lindsay was also eager to make a move.

The territory of the Golden Lion is all fertile land; who wouldn't be tempted?

He immediately ordered Katakuri to lead a team to take as much territory as possible.

But for her, there was something even more captivating, and that was…

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

Kaido, Rayleigh, and King gathered together for a brief meeting.

Jin's body was still wrapped in bandages.

Actually, it's just for show; this blood bull's recovery speed is visible to the naked eye.

It makes one marvel at how worthy they are of being hailed as "gods".

After taking a swig of sake, Kaido asked, "Is the Beasts Pirates going on an expedition?"

Lei Luo nodded slightly: "Now that the Golden Lion is dead, those territories should belong to our Beasts Pirates."

Kaido laughed, "Oh ho ho ho ho... That's natural."

Lei Luo rested his chin on his interlaced fingers. "However, one of us must stay in Wano Country. This must not happen again."

After a pause, Lei Luo continued, "Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, a large group of reckless pirates will climb the waterfall to challenge our Beasts Pirates in Wano Country."

Jin finally got a chance to speak: "Mr. Lei Luo, I will guard the port well."

Lei Luo sighed: "You should focus on recovering from your injuries first."

"My injury is almost healed, you'll see if you don't believe me." As he spoke, Jin was about to tear off the bandage on his chest.

"Hmm?" Lei Luo swept a cold glance over, and Jin immediately stopped what he was doing.

Kaido took another swig of sake and grinned, "Orororororo... I'm going, Rairo."

In fact, Rael was also planning to send Kaido.

This silly dragon can't stay still; it's better to let him go out and conquer territory.

It's different for me; staying in the ore mine is much more interesting than going outside.

Lei Luo smiled and said, "Alright, then Captain, go ahead and let the sea witness the terror of our Beasts Pirates!"

Kaido's lips curled into a cold smile: "Oh ho ho ho ho... No problem."

"I'll go too!" Jin quickly exclaimed.

Lei Luo's voice turned cold: "I already told you to focus on recovering from your injuries!"

Kaido shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.

At the port, Kaido set off with his massive fleet and several captains.

Jin stared longingly.

He's been guarding the house for so long!

Lei Luo smiled and patted Jin on the shoulder: "Take care of your injuries first. You'll have a chance to fight back. There will be no shortage of pirates coming to challenge the Beasts Pirates next."

Jin nodded: "I know, Mr. Lei Luo!"

Lei Luo turned and left.

He has to stay in Baiwu for the time being.

Firstly, Bai Wu was badly damaged in the battle with Jin Shi Zi and needed to oversee its reconstruction.

Secondly, challengers will likely flock to the area, and I will need to stay behind and oversee Baiwu.

After returning to his residence, Lei Luo's Den Den Mushi rang.

Rello answered the phone, and the Den Den Mushi transformed into Feld's face, but with an expression of obsequiousness Rello had never seen before: "Hello, Mr. Rello."

Lei Luo smiled and shook his head. It's true that the stronger you are, the more respect you receive.

But to be honest, this old guy has made quite a bit of money from me these past few years.

Seastone and new weapons are both best-selling items on the black market, and this old guy is now even richer.

There was no other way; this was the only way the Beasts Pirates operated in the underworld.

If not him, then who?

It's unclear whether the clown of the Beasts Pirates is currently scavenging for food in trash cans.

It seems I'll have to make a trip to the North Blue after Kaido returns from his expedition.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lei Luo got straight to the point: "Speak, what is it?"

Feld maintained his obsequious tone: "It's like this, Mr. Reilly, the Imitation Fruit you asked me to find has been found. I wanted to send it to you immediately, but the New World is too chaotic right now, you see..."

In the past, paying enough protection money meant you could move freely, but things are different now. Pirate crews that try to take over territory will actually be killed off without hesitation.

Lei Luo also knew that the New World was in chaos, and that the Beast Pirates did not want to lose this partner for the time being.

Lei Luo offered a solution: "It's just that the Golden Lion's territory is a bit chaotic right now. You name a location, and I'll have our captain retrieve it along the way."

"Okay, okay," Feld nodded hurriedly on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

The Beasts Pirates are currently at the height of their power, so he has no choice but to be extremely cautious.

Lei Luo then instructed, "Find me another fruit."

Field said respectfully, "Mr. Reilly, please speak."

"Floating Fruit!"

Den Den Mushi Feld's grumpy face fell: "Mr. Reilly, this might be a bit difficult."

Lei Luo lowered his voice in displeasure: "Hmm?"

Field's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained, "Mr. Raylo, Mr. Raylo, it's like this, right now the World Government, the Navy, and countless people throughout the underworld are looking for the Float-Float Fruit. I'm just a gangster, I really can't guarantee that I can get the Float-Float Fruit."

Lei Luo knew he was putting Feld in a difficult position. People would give Feld face with a support-type fruit like the Imitation Fruit, but with a strategic fruit like the Float-Float Fruit, who did Feld think he was?

"Just let me know as soon as you have any news about the Float Fruit."

"Okay okay."

Fellow scholars, please stop asking about the time of day and month; I haven't forgotten.

Oden met Whitebeard thirty years ago, and then met Amaterasu Toki. Amaterasu Toki will only travel here next year, so don't worry.

Chapter 65 Just You?

As Lei Luo expected, pirates soon climbed the waterfall and arrived in Wano Country to challenge the Beasts Pirates.

The pirate group consists mostly of low-level pirates who commit arson, murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, and all sorts of evil deeds, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

However, there is also a small group of pirates who are arrogant, unruly, and fearless, and dare to challenge all powerful enemies.

This is why pirates are more likely to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

Don't let Kid's stubbornness fool you; he's determined to fight Shanks. But if Kid backs down and fails once, he'll run away as soon as he sees the Shanks Pirates.

His power will dissipate quickly, eventually turning him into something like Moria and Crocodile.

The world of One Piece is a world of idealism; the stronger one's belief, the more powerful one becomes.

Of course, practice is still necessary.

Lei Luo didn't intend to stop the pirates from landing, letting them climb the waterfall as they pleased.

The Beasts Pirates aim to replace Shiki as one of the three legendary pirates, so...

I will take on all challenges!

The natural barrier of the waterfall in Wano Country has already eliminated most challengers.

When the pirates, having barely escaped the perilous Wano Country, finally arrived at Hakumai Port, they would see Leylo sitting high above them, with King and Leia standing behind him.

Lei Luo stood up, dragging his halberd, and said with a smile:
