After the formal establishment of the Heavenly King Grand Fleet, Marco and the others also began to act swiftly.
The first thing to do was to hoist the flag of the Heavenly King over all the territories of the Whitebeard Pirates,
Let Luen's pirate flag flutter over the sea.
Anyone under this pirate flag is protected by the Heavenly King!
After Whitebeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirates' flag could no longer protect such a vast territory.
Only the Heavenly King's pirate flag could continue to protect this vast territory.
At the same time, these territories also completely belonged to the Heavenly King.
As long as Luen needed it, everyone in these territories would fight for Luen.
And Hancock also returned to Amazon Lily with Luen's pirate flag, letting Luen's pirate flag flutter over Amazon Lily.
Brand new pirate flags began to flutter on the sea!
Meanwhile, during this period, the Navy and the World Government had already reported on the events of the Marineford War.
Under the propaganda of the World Government and the Navy, the Navy had achieved a major victory!
Using Fire Fist Ace as bait, they killed the strongest Yonko Whitebeard on the spot!
Although the public execution of Fire Fist Ace was unsuccessful, under the World Government's propaganda machine that could turn black into white,
The real purpose of this public execution was to kill the Yonko Whitebeard!
The result now, of course, was that the Navy Headquarters under their World Government had achieved a complete victory!
Although Navy Admiral Aokiji died in battle, in the World Government's words, this was a necessary price for justice.
Although the people were still afraid of the fact that the bloodline of Pirate King Roger, Fire Fist Ace, still existed in the world,
Whitebeard's death did make them feel pleasantly surprised.
Whitebeard was a legendary pirate who was as famous as Roger.
His terrifying reputation, even in his old age, was still regarded as the most terrifying pirate by many people on the sea.
Now that such a pirate had been killed by the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy Headquarters had promised to continue to hunt down Fire Fist Ace,
After being brainwashed by the World Government's propaganda machine, many people also believed that the Navy Headquarters and the World Government had achieved the final victory.
But those with real vision on this sea knew that these were just the World Government's excuses to cover up their failure.
The movements of that man, the most dangerous man in the world, Heavenly King Luen, were not mentioned at all by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters!
And after the live broadcast ended, there was no explanation of how the war ended.
However, the Navy did kill the Yonko Whitebeard at the cost of only losing Aokiji, an important combat force,
This was something that the world saw with their own eyes through the live broadcast.
This alone was enough for the World Government to whitewash this war.
But for many ambitious people on the sea, the most important thing was the sentence Whitebeard said before his death.
ONEPIECE, is real!
Decades had passed since Pirate King Roger opened the Great Pirate Era with his life.
The dream of ONEPIECE had also begun to be doubted by young pirates as time passed,
Doubting whether this great treasure really existed.
In many gathering places for the new generation of pirates, such as Mock Town, dreams had already been abandoned.
But now, another legendary pirate, one who had failed to compete with Roger for the title of Pirate King in the eyes of the world, Whitebeard, had also personally confirmed that ONEPIECE is real!
Even Whitebeard, who had failed to compete for the great treasure in the eyes of the world, had said so, then this legendary great treasure must exist!
Once again, it ignited the sea!
In many sea areas, countless ships hoisted pirate flags, and young sailors began to set sail,
For the legendary great treasure, ONEPIECE, countless people began to set sail again.
And to cope with this situation, coupled with the terrible losses in the Marineford War.
Under the leadership of the World Government, the Navy also launched a world conscription!
As long as you have the strength, you can even become a Navy Admiral!
The forces of justice are still very strong on this sea, and with countless pirates setting sail, some reclusive experts have also chosen to come out of the mountains and join the Navy.
During this period, former Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku resigned, but was not approved by Commander-in-Chief Kong.
But under Sengoku's repeated insistence, both sides made concessions, and Sengoku took the position of Navy Headquarters Inspector General, whose main duty was to monitor all secret affairs.
This not only retained Sengoku, an important combat force, but also took into account the World Government's face, allowing Sengoku to retire to the second line.
And randomly, former Navy Admiral Akainu was promoted to Navy Fleet Admiral.
Although Akainu lost to Heavenly King Luen in the eyes of the world, that was the statement of the World Economic News Agency,
The World Government and the Navy Headquarters had never admitted it.
And they had also specifically publicized the battle at that time, publicizing it as an evenly matched situation, a draw between the two sides.
Coupled with the fact that Akainu directly killed the Yonko Whitebeard in the Marineford War, Akainu's prestige had greatly increased.
Most importantly, with Aokiji's death, Akainu was the only one in the Navy who could succeed as Fleet Admiral.
Akainu was promoted to Navy Fleet Admiral, and Aokiji died in battle.
Of the original Navy Three Admirals, only Kizaru remained, leaving two Admiral positions vacant.
The Navy had no combat power to make up for the vacancies, so they could only hope for the world conscription.
And the results of the conscription also surprised the Navy.
Two super experts appeared before their eyes.
They were Aramaki, a Logia type, Mori Mori Fruit user.
And Issho, a Paramecia type, Gravity Fruit user, a blind man wielding one of the Supreme Grade Swords, Gambler's Firewire.
Their powerful combat power shone brightly, and these two originally unknown figures on the sea were promoted to Navy Admirals out of turn.
The new Navy Three Admirals were also formed.
Kizaru, Borsalino, Fujitora, Issho, and Green Bull, Aramaki.
Just as the Navy Headquarters breathed a sigh of relief, the pirate flag that began to flutter in the New World shocked the Navy.
A pirate flag with a five-clawed golden dragon wrapped around it, incomparably domineering!
Under this pirate flag, fighting for it, were the members of the former Whitebeard Pirates!
The owner of this pirate flag was the most dangerous man in the world, Heavenly King, Luen!
The name of the Heavenly King Grand Fleet officially appeared on the sea! The world was shaken!
What shocked the world even more was.
One of the Shichibukai, Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, officially announced her withdrawal from the Shichibukai!
After the Marineford War, Doflamingo was killed by Heavenly King Luen, Jinbe openly rebelled,
Blackbeard attacked Impel Down,
And Kuma was also confirmed dead.
Only Hawkeye and the Pirate Empress remained of the Shichibukai.
Now that the Pirate Empress had openly withdrawn from the Shichibukai, the Shichibukai, which was originally known as one of the three major forces alongside the Navy Headquarters and the Yonko, only had Hawkeye left!
This was, openly slapping them in the face!
Amazon Lily's natural barrier in the Calm Belt was no longer an inaccessible place after the appearance of the Navy's seastone warships.
When the Navy was furious and wanted to attack, the Heavenly King pirate flag hanging over Amazon Lily immediately forced the Navy to retreat.
Amazon Lily was under the protection of the Heavenly King, and even the Navy Headquarters had no authority to start a war with it.
The World Government was also unwilling to start a war with the Heavenly King because of a Pirate Empress, and immediately ordered the Navy to withdraw after seeing the Heavenly King's pirate flag.
The world also knew that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Amazon Lily Pirates had become affiliated pirate groups under the Heavenly King Grand Fleet.
All the territories and forces of these two pirate groups had been obtained by Heavenly King Luen!
And, it was not limited to this!
Fish-Man Island.
"Help!"
Female mermaids were wantonly pursued by bounty hunters and human traffickers.
"Whitebeard is dead! The mermaids, worth over 70 million Berries, are ours!"
These bounty hunters and human traffickers had greed flashing in their eyes.
With Whitebeard protecting them, they would not dare to be so wanton, but Whitebeard was now dead.
Jinbe was no longer a Shichibukai either.
The Ryugu Palace alone could not protect these valuable mermaids.
"Fish-Man Karate Samegawara Seiken!"
A roar sounded, and the powerful attack terrified these bounty hunters and human traffickers.
"Boss Jinbe!"
Many people on Fish-Man Island were in tears.
"Jinbe! You are no longer a Shichibukai! Do you think you alone can protect Fish-Man Island!"
A bounty hunter roared.
Jinbe was very strong, but he was not strong enough to completely protect Fish-Man Island.
Under the huge profits, the army formed by these bounty hunters and human traffickers could exhaust Jinbe to death.
"Hmph, take a good look at what this is!"
Jinbe snorted coldly, pointing to the top of the Ryugu Palace.
The many bounty hunters and human traffickers looked up and were immediately stunned.
They saw that the original Whitebeard Pirates' pirate flag was slowly descending.
A brand new pirate flag, with a five-clawed golden dragon wrapped around a skull, was slowly rising.
"That, that is!"
Although it had only just been formed, the reputation of this pirate flag was already known to many people in the world.
Some of the bounty hunters and human traffickers present recognized this pirate flag and were terrified.
"From now on, Fish-Man Island is the territory of the Heavenly King!"
Jinbe roared.
"Heavenly King?! Heavenly King, Luen!"
Hearing this name, the bounty hunters and human traffickers present were immediately terrified.
Even these desperadoes lost all their courage the moment they heard this name,
Some were even so frightened that they collapsed directly to the ground, terrified.
This emperor was not the old Whitebeard!
But the most dangerous man in the world!
The strongest Devil Fruit user in the world, possessing incredible abilities!
Several Shichibukai had died at the hands of this man, and even Navy Admiral Aokiji had died at the hands of this man.
Even the Celestial Dragons needed to avoid this man.
Being targeted by such a man meant that there was no place to hide in the vast sea.
Those captured mermaids were also obediently released.
"Heavenly King!"
Jinbe raised his hand and roared under the pirate flag.
"Heavenly King!"
The mermaids and fish-men of Fish-Man Island cheered.
Looking at this pirate flag, their eyes were filled with fiery color.
As long as this pirate flag protected them, this place would be extremely safe.
"Father, this is great."
Ryugu Kingdom's First Prince, Shark Star, was also filled with excitement at this time.
"Yes."
The King of Ryugu Kingdom, Neptune, looked at this pirate flag and nodded gratefully.
Fish-Man Island was only nominally the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, but in reality, it was because he and Whitebeard were friends,
That man had given him the pirate flag, allowing Fish-Man Island to become a protected place under Whitebeard's name.
After Whitebeard's death, Neptune was saddened and extremely distressed.
Without Whitebeard's protection, Fish-Man Island could not protect the mermaids at all.
But now everything was fine! []
The Heavenly King was willing to give them the pirate flag, allowing Fish-Man Island to be under the protection of this man.
"Prepare a generous gift, I want to personally thank the Heavenly King!"
Neptune said solemnly.
Neptune was also a little nervous about meeting that legendary super figure.
"Yes!"
Neptune's sons, Shark Star and the other two, quickly said.
"Damn it, the Heavenly King beat us to it."
In a corner of Fish-Man Island, two figures were watching here.
Yonko, BIG-MOM Pirates members, Pekoms and Baron Tamago.
"MAMA is waiting for us to report back, gao!"
Pekoms' forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his tone was filled with his catchphrase.
Fish-Man Island had very rare sweets.
BIG-MOM always liked to hold tea parties, and sweets were her favorite.
Previously, BIG-MOM had not attacked Fish-Man Island because of Whitebeard's existence.
After Whitebeard's death, the sweets here were also targeted by BIG-MOM.
"This concerns the Heavenly King, we have no authority to deal with it, report to MAMA."
Baron Tamago's forehead was also covered in cold sweat.
"Bru Bru!"
The Den Den Mushi dialed their BIG-MOM Pirates' base.
"MAMA MAMA! Did Neptune agree?"
A signature laugh rang out.
Yonko! BIG-MOM, Charlotte Linlin!
In Charlotte Linlin's opinion, Neptune would definitely agree.
After all, as long as he handed over the sweets, he could get her protection, and Neptune knew what to choose.
"MAMA, an accident happened."
Baron Tamago's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Accident?"
The image conjured by the Den Den Mushi opened its bloody mouth, and disgusting gastric juices appeared.
"It, it's the Heavenly King!"
Feeling MAMA's roar, Baron Tamago did not dare to delay and quickly explained the situation here.
"Heavenly King, Luen."
Charlotte Linlin's huge eyes were full of bloodshot.
He had taken the lead and designated Fish-Man Island as his territory?
"MAMA, what do we do?"
Baron Tamago asked carefully.
This concerned the affairs of two Emperors, and he was considered a well-known figure in the outside world, but in front of the Heavenly King and MAMA, he was a real egg!
He could be crushed easily!
"Come back."
Charlotte Linlin snorted.
Although Charlotte Linlin's brain was not good, she was not a complete idiot when she was not crazy.
She was not idiotic enough to start a war with the Heavenly King for the sweets of Fish-Man Island.
"Understood!"
After Baron Tamago and Pekoms hung up the phone, they collapsed directly to the ground, panting heavily.
Being dragged into the affairs between two Emperors, they would not even know how they died!
And Charlotte Linlin, who had hung up the phone, was extremely irritable.
Heavenly King! That brat!
He made her so unhappy!
However, that brat's power was now at its peak.
It was only a matter of time before he became a Yonko.
She was not crazy enough to start a war with a Yonko for a sweets-making place.
But that brat's ambition had never been concealed.
The man standing in the sky!
This dream, which was once not valued by them and regarded as a joke, was gradually coming true.
If such a man became a Yonko, the structure of the New World would change greatly.
"Is it time to see an old friend?"
Charlotte Linlin grinned, revealing her fangs.
The man to whom she had shown great kindness, the man to whom she had given the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Fruit.
Yonko, Kaido of the Beasts!
Navy Headquarters!
"After the Marineford War, this man no longer conceals his ambition!"
"All the territories of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Amazon Lily Pirates, Jinbe, Fish-Man Island, have become his subordinate forces and territories!
And there is still a tendency to expand!"
"Without a doubt, Heavenly King Luen has become a new Yonko! He has become the man who poses the greatest threat to justice on this sea!"
Branew looked at the three Admirals present.
Green Bull, Fujitora, and Kizaru were all gathered here.
"Now give this man! The world's highest bounty!"
"The most dangerous man in the world! The strongest and most ferocious man in the world!"
"Yonko! Heavenly King Grand Fleet Admiral!"
"Heavenly King, Luen!"
"Dead or alive! Bounty: 5, 564, 800, 000 Berries!"
Branew posted a brand new wanted poster on the bulletin board.
5, 564, 800, 000 Berries! The same bounty as Pirate King Roger!
The world's highest bounty!
