Chapter 424: Territory Division
The Byrnndi Pirates met their downfall.
The news that the Great Pirate who had shaken the Four Seas since the Rocks Era, "World Destroyer" Byrnndi World, had been captured, spread throughout the entire World in a short time, propagated by the World Government and the Marines.
For the West Blue, the chaos that had lasted over half a year finally ended.
The pain and losses it brought would take an unknown amount of time to heal.
The entire World was abuzz with discussion, talking about the gains and losses of this long-lasting war.
However, it was widely acknowledged that this war had no victor.
Even the Marines paid a heavy price.
The number of monsters in the New World was too high; even with one less Byrnndi World, it changed nothing.
In contrast, following the downfall of the Byrnndi Pirates, that vast territory completely became ownerless.
If any factions benefited, it could only be the Whitebeard Pirates and the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
Some people had already guessed this situation.
Because the Whitebeard Pirates and the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were the closest to the Byrnndi Pirates' territory.
Upon receiving the news of the Byrnndi Pirates' downfall, "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate decisively dispatched his children to occupy the territories that had originally belonged to the Byrnndi Pirates.
"Gurararara! Children, prepare to move out! Take back all the territory that guy World left behind for us!"
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard looked at his children, who had made considerable progress, and said spiritedly.
It was also time for the Whitebeard Pirates to bare their fangs and plunder more territory.
This was a very good opportunity.
"Don't worry, Pops, leave it to us."
Newgate's many children gathered around him, each one eager for action, preparing to win more living space for this great family.
They weren't fools.
The reason their Pops hadn't wanted to go to war with other factions and plunder territory was precisely because their strength was too weak.
If they could be stronger, they wouldn't be a burden to Pops, and the Whitebeard Pirates might have already developed.
This family needed to grow stronger; relying solely on Pops wasn't enough.
It required their collective effort.
On the Great Sea, the pirate ships surrounding the Moby Dick departed one after another, heading towards the Byrnndi Pirates' territory, all flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.
In fact, as the West Blue war continued, the number of Byrnndi Pirates gradually decreased, and the Whitebeard Pirates had already begun secretly encroaching upon the Byrnndi Pirates' territory.
Because with the Byrnndi Pirates' military strength, even if they had successfully returned to the New World, they wouldn't have had enough strength to defend such a vast territory.
In contrast, after a period of development, the Whitebeard Pirates had already reached the limit of what they could currently possess and needed further expansion.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates also took action.
Unlike others who could only watch through live streaming, Zak clearly understood the Byrnndi Pirates' situation.
Before he withdrew from the battlefield, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had already begun to act.
The two factions were jointly dividing that sea area.
Meanwhile, the Demon King Pirates in the East seemed not to have taken action.
"Monarch, are we not going to take action?"
Originally, the members of the Demon King Pirates had all prepared to occupy more territory.
But unexpectedly, their Monarch remained inactive, which truly made them somewhat reluctant.
Nash wore a calm expression, looking at the two individuals.
They were cadres of the Demon King Pirates, his trusted subordinates, and the core combatants of the Demon King Pirates.
Their black wings, white hair, and brown skin indicated their identity.
"Don't be impatient, Belial, Samael." Nash smiled slightly, then shook his head.
Nash's calmness seemed to infect the two Lunarian Tribe warriors.
"The war in the North hasn't ended yet. I feel it won't be long now."
"Shiki's hegemony is about to be established. This era belongs to Shiki. When John and the others turn back, they will definitely seek to regain their losses elsewhere. Let's just watch."
"At that time, that guy Wang Zhi might take action against us."
Although the great battle in the North was still ongoing, Nash's intuition told him that the final victor would be Shiki.
As for why, Shiki's ambition was greater.
Hearing Nash's speculation, the cadres calmed down.
The Demon King Pirates continued to remain inactive, consolidating their own territory, and slowly expanding outwards.
Under such a situation, there was much talk on the Great Sea regarding the mysterious weapon in Byrnndi World's hands, the one that had almost annihilated the Navy Fleet.
There were quite a few people talking about it, but there was no news at all.
Public opinion was completely controlled.
Even if someone sent a letter to Morgans to inquire, they still didn't get an answer.
Because Morgans himself didn't know what that thing was.
He only had news about an island explosion in the North of the Former Half of the New World.
That was a Marines' Secret Base, and the effect was similar to the explosion in the West Blue.
Furthermore, recalling the Byrnndi Pirates' previous operation, this thing was very likely plundered from the World Government.
This was just his speculation, but he didn't say it out loud.
Because he had received a warning from the factions behind him.
Some things were not for him to know, and even if he knew, he had to keep them hidden.
The Great Pirates and factions interested in this also didn't know where to start, unless they found a possibly surviving cadre of the Byrnndi Pirates.
Such a probability was very small.
Besides Byrnndi World, the Byrnndi Pirates could be said to have already suffered downfall.
They didn't believe anyone else could have survived under such terrifying destructive power.
Even so, the Underworld also issued a large number of bounties for the former main members of the Byrnndi Pirates.
However, news alone could also fetch a portion of Beli.
They wanted to see them alive or their corpse.
If someone was alive, their whereabouts would definitely be revealed.
Especially the islands surrounding the Great Battle Sea Area, all had people from many factions monitoring them.
That mysterious weapon's destructive power was truly too terrifying.
