New World.
Somewhere in the sea.
The ship of Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates is sailing on the sea. They have come to the New World and become famous in the New World.
Red Hair Shanks's bounty has now soared to 1.179 Million Berries!
"He killed … Kaido?"
On the deck, Shanks stood there, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at the contents of the newspaper slightly absent-mindedly.
As a trainee crew member of Roger's Pirates, he has also experienced many conflicts with the Beast Pirates.
Although the Beast Pirates are weaker than the Whitebeard Pirates and every conflict is basically a defeat, it is undeniable that Captain Kaido of the Beast Pirates is very strong!
He is a monster that is difficult to kill!
Especially after Roger's death, Kaido has experienced such a period of growth, I am afraid that he is not much worse than Whitebeard, but Kaido still died in the hands of Maple!
Feng Ye's strength was far greater than he had expected!
"No wonder the World Government would ignore all of his affairs and even show an attitude of concession and compromise."
Beckman took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked up at the sky with a profound look in his eyes.
Before Maple destroyed Holy Land Mariejois, the World Government's attitude towards Maple has become very strange since that incident.
At first, he suspected that Maple had reached an agreement with the World Government, but now it seems that it is not the case – Maple is an existence that the World Government is afraid of with absolute strength!
To put it another way.
The World Government retreated in front of a single person, Maple!
This kind of thing is undoubtedly almost unbelievable, because even the Pirate King Roger can't do this!
But now from the various deeds of Maple and the various actions of the World Government, this is very likely to be the truth!
The World Government …
They are afraid of Maple's power!
"We just entered the New World not long ago, and he is already going to conquer this sea …"
Shanks put down the newspaper and let out a sigh, then took a breath and said: "We should also speed up."
…
Along with Kaido's death.
The scuffle between all parties in the New World began to become more and more intense.
Among them, Whitebeard has the largest area of territory, and all those who tried to take Whitebeard's territory have been killed, and gradually no one dared to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates.
Next is the BIGMOM Pirates, who have separated Totto Landsea and expanded outward, defeating many pirate groups, and are already far ahead, especially in the case of annexing the remaining forces of the Beast Pirates!
The addition of Quinn and Ember has made the power of the BIGMOM Pirates soar, and they are even comparable to the Whitebeard Pirates!
The judgment of all forces on the New World is that the territory of the New World should eventually accommodate only four forces.
Three of them are almost fixed, and now no one dares to provoke these three existences.
BIGMOM Charlotte Linlin!
Whitebeard Edward Newgate!
And …
The Traveler Maple!
Although in terms of power, Maple, who has never recruited subordinates, can't be compared with the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates.
But there is one thing that almost no one disagrees with.
That is, the power of the Traveler, even if Maple is the only one, is a more terrible existence than the BIGMOM Pirates!
For the vast majority of people, they would rather challenge the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates than challenge Maple.
Because so far, the personal strength that Maple has shown can only be described with one word.
Unfathomable!
No one knew where Feng Ye's limits were, and no one knew just how powerful he was!
Although Maple has not really risen in the sea for a long time, everything he has done is enough to make the sea tremble with fear!
The last vacant position has not yet been established.
Some people think that the last position will be occupied by some pirates of the same era as Whitebeard, but some people are optimistic about the rising star, Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates.
… …
The Country of Peace.
On the outside sea, when the conflict between the various forces became more and more intense, the Country of Peace gradually calmed down.
With Feng Ye's support, Light Moon and the warriors under his command defeated Charcoal Serpent without any mishaps.
Although women can't inherit the position of Shogun, because the Black Serpent came to power and defeated the Daimyo of the towns, the original system of the Country of Peace that was headed by the Shogun has collapsed.
Coupled with the disappearance of Momosuke, no one can be sure that Momosuke will not appear in ten years, so Light Moon Mita's only daughter, Light Moon Hikari, was pushed to the position of Daimyo by the Samurai.
Daimyo of the Country of Peace.
Light Moon Hikari.
The position of Shogun will be vacant for the time being. If Momosuke can appear again in the future, he will inherit the position of Shogun. Otherwise, the position of Shogun will be abolished and only the Daimyo of the Country of Peace will be retained, and Light Moon Hikari will inherit the position of Daimyo.
As for Maple, who killed Kaido and stood behind Light Moon Hikari and supported her to overthrow the Black Serpent, he will be honored as the Wisdom King!
This was originally Kaido's position in the Country of Peace.
It represented worship that was above the Country of Peace's system. It was equivalent to being the country's guardian deity. Now, it belonged to Maple.
…
In the center of the Flower Capital.
This was originally Orochi's Shogun's residence. Now, it had been converted into a daimyo's residence.
Inside the newly constructed daimyo's residence, there was a spacious hall. Maple was currently sitting behind a table in the center.
To his left was Robin, who was leaning against the table. To his right was Light Moon Hikari, who had changed into a daimyo's kimono.
And in the hall below, Shutenmaru, Ha Song, Mad Man, and the other Light Moon family members were all kneeling on the ground.
"If you want to establish a country, then go ahead and establish a country."
Maple lifted the wine cup on the table and took a light sip as he spoke to Mad Man and the others who were kneeling in front of him.
The founding of the Country of Peace was Light Moon Mita's unfulfilled wish.
After they reclaimed this country and supported Hikari to become the daimyo of the Country of Peace, Mad Man and the others began discussing the founding of the country. However, it was evident that they needed to obtain Maple's approval before doing this.
"After establishing the country, you may use my flag to sail the seas outside," Maple spoke calmly.
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Mad Man and the others raised their heads one after another. They revealed grateful expressions and said,
"Thank you, Sir!"
Although they didn't know much about the outside world, they knew that the seas outside were incredibly dangerous.
Founding the Country of Peace meant that they had to face the dangers of the seas outside. Maple agreed to this and allowed them to use the Traveler's Emblem. This meant that the Country of Peace would be under Maple's protection!
They weren't very clear about Maple's reputation in the outer seas, but since Maple was able to easily kill Hundred Beast Kaido, he must be one of the existences that stood at the peak of the outer seas!
With Maple's protection …
He wouldn't be afraid of anyone invading!
"You may leave."
Maple put down his wine cup and spoke to Mad Man and the others.
Mad Man and the others bowed to Maple again, then stood up and excused themselves, leaving the hall one after another.
Only Maple, Robin, and Hikari were left in the hall.
"Mr. Maple …"
Hikari turned around and knelt down in front of Maple. Then, she lowered her head and prostrated herself on the ground, saying:
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Although she was only eight years old, she understood that Maple had killed Kaido and supported her in inheriting the position of the daimyo of the Country of Peace. He also allowed her to establish the Country of Peace and use his banner.
This was something that she couldn't repay.
"Get up."
Maple smiled slightly, then stood up and said: "Alright, the political affairs are more or less settled. I won't participate in the following matters. Your retainers should be able to handle it."
Hikari raised her head and looked at Maple in shock: "Mr. Maple … you're leaving?"
"No."
Maple shook his head and smiled: "I won't leave for the time being. I'm just going to sow seeds. Do you want to come and watch?"
"Sow seeds?"
Hikari revealed a doubtful expression.
