Chapter 56: An Emperor's Criteria
Five Days Later
Jack The Ripper
Kuro: Oh. It's really a good decision for the two of them.
Ryan: That's right. I like that island and its fruit wine. I'd hate it If the marines and WG really fought with them.
Gin: Luckily you had these ideas before we released the books.
Ryan: At first I only considered the Adventures Union. But on second thought I figured it wouldn't be enough. After all it's just an organization. So thanks to Desire for finding so many good places.
Desire: Hehe it was nothing. I just figured it was best to have islands that have a hatred against the WG. I didn't expect to find several diamonds amongst them.
Carina: With the fruit wine of Nikka, Ore from Ba Sing Se and Hot spring paradise of Valley Island. We can really gain a lot of money.
Van Augur: Nikka has planted the flag of Whitebeard. Ba Sing Se and the others will face the assault of those guys.
Ryan: That's true. Have Ba Sing Se and the others form an alliance publicly. Although the buildings and other things on Ba Sing Se are finished. They lack the armor and other things. They'll need time to form into a giant that the WG has to stop and think about.
Holy Land Hall Of Power
Mercury: Damn Whitebeard. What does this bastard know.
Venus: Hard to say. We can't take the risk of fighting a naval battle against him.
Mars: Ah. Even if Aokiji can freeze the sea. It can't stop the powers of that guy.
Jupiter: We can only check the situation of the other Kingdoms. To think these places we previously ignored would thrive to such an extent.
Yavin: What about the problem of the Adventures Guild. They've already started construction on the locations in the four blue's.
St Jay Garcia Yavin spoke. This is the replacement for Saturn from the Jay Garcia family.
Mercury: There's also the constant rise of the Revolutionary Army. And more and more people are starting to search through the historical texts.
Venus: We've got too many opponents and because of the Disaster Pirates. We and the marines have taken too many losses.
Mars: We need to show the world that the Disaster Pirates are different from others. We need to eliminate multiple forces.
Jupiter: And these islands have given us the perfect opportunity. This time we destroy them completely. No survivors.
Yavin: It's also important to send CP members to such islands. If it can be developed right we can have an important force under us. Or even multiple.
Mercury: This can indeed be considered and help in the long run. However this still has to wait until Borsalino and Sakazuki are healed.
Venus: That's right we don't need another incident of the Revolution Kingdom.
Three Days Later
Just as the Marines are discussing the actions towards the new emerging islands. Papers fell from the sky. When it reached Sengoku and the Five Elders. They each had different expressions. Sengoku was relieved.
He believed the WG wouldn't take such a risk to attack an eight island alliance. Looking at the people at the alliance meeting and one can know that these people are definitely strong.
And as Sengoku thought the plans got pushed aside. The marines focus is gaining information on these eight islands. While also trying to get into the inner workings of the Adventures Union.
Holy Land Flower Room
IMU: Is this part of your prophecy. Joy Boy.
New World Sea Area
At this time countless ships are sitting on the sea.
Sebastian: What do you say Warren are you looking for an alliance with us to take down the fleet of Red Hair.
Warren: Absolutely. That bastard almost disabled me. If my doctor wasn't skilled I'd be a one arm man now.
Pirate1: It would've been nice if that guy Ace hadn't joined Whitebeard.
Pirate2: Definitely. As the third ranking supernova he actually submitted so easily.
Warren: It is Whitebeard. Although old his legends are plenty.
Sebastian: Yes besides we don't need him to deal with a group of trash that gets protected by Red Hair. His fleet is the weakest to kill. Most importantly they're always in a close vicinity to each other.
Warren: Doesn't matter. Let's go and kill them. Let's see if that bastard can stop us from destroying the marine base this time.
After that this fleet of ships set off into the territory of Red Hair. After entering they split into teams and attacked each fleet member of the Red Hair Pirates. Some outright killed them burning the flags and ships.
Some with more sense simply beat them to the point of being unconscious and left. When Shank's who was originally waiting for these people close to the marine base heard the news he erupted In anger.
Beckman and others also became furious. No matter who it is in the new world. Be it Whitebeard Pirates, Beast Pirates or Big Mom pirates. They don't dare to do this to those people in their fleet.
The same could be said for the Disaster pirates. Or rather the Disaster pirates don't kill pirates anymore unless you refuse the rules. So those who come across the Disaster pirates usually offer the treasure immediately. Even those of their fleet.
The other three emperors have also adopted this method. But now these newbies have done something to really anger Shanks and the Red Hair pirates.
Shanks: Let's go and help those guys first. Afterwards we'll destroy those guys one by one.
Beckman and the others nodded.
Next Day
While the Red Hair pirates are gathering, healing and burying the fleet captains. A group of ships marched into the territory from multiple areas. The original fleet with Warren and Sebastian. Along with several others who were close by and heard the news.
They all have one goal and that's to take advantage of this time and make a fortune. With Shanks away these guys became completely bold. They attacked every marine base in his territory.
G-15
Gion: It's these guys who killed the fleet captains of Red Hair's?
Marine: That's right. It's led by three individuals. Two supernova pirates and a wandering swordsman. Jade eye Sebastian and Explosive arm Warren. Both have bounties over 500 million. The swordsman's strength is unknown and he has no bounty.
Gion: What did HQ say to do?
Marine: They want us to retreat. Information says The Disaster pirates are in the nearby waters. With Tea Dolphin and a few other Vice Admirals in his hands the Marines can't lose you as well.
Gion: It's really infuriating. Let's pack up and leave.
The Marines on each base packed up and left. However the pirates didn't stop. They still destroyed the island and burned everything to the ground. As long as they did this and sent the picture to Morgan's. They could gain 10 billion to split
Although they may be hunted by the Red Hair pirates afterward. As long as they continued to sail he couldn't find them on this vast sea. If all else fails join the Disaster pirates or go back to paradise.
No matter what this was a win for them. Other things can be considered later. These guys hurriedly got back on their ships and left. Destination Hatchinos.
Next Day
Jack The Ripper
Kuro: Red Hair must be furious. Five captains were killed and others became vegetables or decided to retire.
Gin: Can he still be considered an Emperor after this. If so then shouldn't those guys Wald, Bullet and Red Earl.
Van Augur: His fleet didn't make him an Emperor. His direct crew did. But this is open for debate.
Bartolomeo: Captain
Ryan: It's indeed open for discussion. With the loss of his fleet. A fleet that was weak to begin with. Can he really remain an Emperor of the Sea. Criteria for a pirate to become an Emperor of the Sea. Call Morgan's.
Desire: On it.
Two Days Later
Shanks who just destroyed a crew that attacked his subordinates looked at the papers falling. Grabbed one and read the title.
Shanks: Five Or Four Emperors.
Then he saw a picture with all five emperors. Only his was half crossed off.
Beckman: It's started.
Shanks: What's started?
Beckman: Ryan's attack on you. He's using this opportunity to cut off the title and status of Emperor Of The Sea. Afterwards will be an attack on you as a pirate. For now it's serious.
Shanks: How serious.
Beckman: We'll have to prepare to constantly go back and forth to protect the islands under us. Without the people in the fleet to stay on those islands. We'll be wide open for pirates to take advantage. Especially.
Shanks: Especially if we assemble the same kind of fleet.
Beckman: If we do that this situation will continue to happen. After all we can't chase people down and protect the territory.
Shanks flipped the paper open. The more he saw the angrier he became. This is simply targeting him who now has to deal with a lot of things.
Beckman: After this a lot of people will probably go and be under Wald, Doflamingo, Bullet or Red Earl.
