"Daichi has moved!"
Near the North Blue entrance of Hoenn Fortress, more than a dozen surveillance warships had already been deployed. The Marines learned of the Groudon entering the North Blue immediately.
The Marine Headquarters located in the North Blue also received the news.
On an island in the North Blue, a dog-headed warship.
"So he means to challenge us!"
Garp stood at the bow, looking in the direction of the New World.
Daichi's blatant actions clearly showed he didn't care about the Marines' threat. With the Golden Route, if a war were to break out, the Beast Pirates' support might even arrive faster than the Headquarters.
This was his confidence.
Also, Daichi's actions at this time might be to attract the Marines' attention, thereby reducing the pressure on other pirates.
What a cunning brat!
His adjutant, Bogard, stepped forward to ask.
"Vice Admiral Garp, should we act?"
"Of course, I'll go meet that kid!"
Garp grinned.
Currently, the Marine Headquarters in the North Blue temporarily had no energy to encircle Daichi, but his warship could move freely.
He would go meet Daichi and see if he was as strong as rumored!
Not only the Marines, but all forces in the North Blue also received the news.
Swallow Island.
Heart Pirates's stronghold.
Bepo held a newspaper, rushing in a panic.
"Captain, that Daichi you've been watching has entered the North Blue!"
"Don't be afraid, Bepo."
Law carried Kikoku, his gaze deep.
The route established by the Beast Pirates had plunged the entire North Blue into war, which also greatly impacted them.
Swallow Island was located in the northernmost part of the North Blue, yet unfamiliar pirates kept arriving, each one unbelievably stronger than the last.
By now, he had defeated several famous New World pirates, but each time left him in a bitter struggle.
The source of all this chaos was that man.
Daichi!
That man was the common enemy of both the underworld and the establishment in the North Blue!
But he also knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to contend with Daichi, but he could still join in the fun.
Coincidentally, they were about to enter the Grand Line!
"Prepare to set sail!"
"Yes!"
Not only the Heart Pirates, but pirates from all over the North Blue were gathering, wanting to take revenge on Daichi.
The pirates from the New World had severely damaged their interests, and their numbers were vast, like a pack of wolves invading.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.
The pirates of the North Blue were on the verge of life and death. This hatred needed an outlet.
Central Sea Area of the North Blue, Groudon.
"Pirate Alliance?"
Daichi listened to his subordinate's report and chuckled.
Such insignificant pirates, who thought numbers were enough and didn't know their place, probably wouldn't survive three days in the New World.
"Ignore them."
"Yes!"
Daichi took out a map.
According to the collected intelligence, Germa Kingdom was in the nearby sea area, seemingly preparing to invade a non-member country.
Soon, Gazelleman ran back, excitedly reporting. "Captain Daichi, we found a very luxurious ship to the northwest!"
"A luxurious ship?"
Daichi, interested, came to the deck.
All his subordinates' eyes glowed red, and they licked their blades with cruel grins.
Following Daichi, they hadn't plundered for a long time. Now, seeing a fat sheep, they could no longer hold back.
Plunder! They wanted to plunder!
According to pirate rules, whoever seized it owned it, but of course, the most important spoils of war had to go to the Captain.
Speed, holding North Blue documents, teleported next to Daichi. "It's a ship from Cozia Kingdom. They are one of the World Government's member countries and participated in the last Reverie!"
"Hmm."
Daichi looked at the ship in the distance.
It looked very luxurious, clearly very valuable, and being able to participate in the Reverie indicated considerable national strength.
His subordinates were already impatient.
"Captain, give the order quickly!"
"The brothers have been itching for a big score!"
"Gagagaga, we've almost forgotten the taste of plundering!"
As pirates, how could they forget their old trade?
Daichi smiled, just about to give the order.
"Boom!!!"
A splash erupted on the sea next to the ship!
"Huh???"
Daichi looked at the enemy ship in astonishment.
Not only did they not surrender, but they dared to fire first?
Where did they get such guts!
Good, good, good!
"Lads, bring the ship closer!!!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Cozia Kingdom's flagship.
"Missed?"
King Cozia stood by the cannon, looking at the missed shot, feeling unlucky. His daughter comforted him nearby.
"Father, you'll definitely hit it if you try again."
"I've lost interest."
King Cozia waved his hand, giving a casual order.
"Sink that pirate ship!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers immediately operated the cannons, preparing to sink the pirate ship, but what happened next was beyond their comprehension.
The cannonballs couldn't get close to the pirate ship at all!
"What's going on?"
The Captain was baffled.
Why were the cannonballs exploding in mid-air?
Could there be a strong person on the pirate ship?
Indeed, many pirates had recently flooded into the North Blue, but with their ship's firepower, ordinary pirates were no match.
Seeing the pirate ship approaching rapidly, the Captain's face instantly changed.
"Your Majesty, the pirate ship is charging over!"
"Huh?!"
King Cozia hadn't reacted yet when the ship shook violently. The sudden imbalance made him sit on the ground.
"Bastards, what are you doing!"
"If I get hurt, I'll chop off all your heads!"
"Protect His Majesty and the Princess!"
The Captain's roar made King Cozia feel something was wrong.
The next moment, a large number of pirates rushed over.
"Kill everyone who resists!"
"Gahahahaha, it's a royal ship!"
"There must be a lot of treasure!"
In an instant, blood splattered on King Cozia's face. His trusted Captain didn't even last a few seconds before a young girl smashed his head with a spiked club.
Fear enveloped his heart.
Just ten minutes later, the battle ended.
The pirates excitedly carried treasure chests back to the Groudon. Besides treasure, there were also many weapons and smuggled goods in the cabin.
The haul was quite rich.
"Captain, we caught two big fish!"
"Wearing crowns, they seem to be the King!"
"And a beautiful Princess!"
The King and Princess were tied up, both roaring furiously.
"You bastard pirates, I am the King of a World Government member country!"
"Release us quickly!"
"The Marines will definitely eradicate you!"
"Damn pirates, I'll string you up and roast you over a fire!"
Daichi smiled as he examined the two.
The King looked rather abstract, but the Princess was decent.
Their attitude, however, wasn't very friendly.
But, they still had some use.
"Someone, tie these two pieces of trash to the fire and roast them."
"Yes, Captain Daichi!"
The pirates advanced with cruel grins.
They loved tormenting noble lords the most!
Daichi turned and walked towards the cabin.
"Release the other captives!"
"Huh?!"
Someone needed to deliver his message.
With the King captured, how could the Marines stand by!
The Marines would come for him sooner or later, so he would take the initiative.
He was determined to conquer this North Blue!
