The Black Prince of Pirates

The Kingdom of Totland and the Kingdom of Wano are to the east and the other is to the west, but the Kingdom of Exmundo is sandwiched between the two countries to the north, so the people coming from the two sides are also from the east and the west. The Big Mom Pirates are coming from the east. Approaching, the fleet points directly towards Black Swan Island. Only through this place can we penetrate deep into the heart of the Kingdom of Aikmundo.

but,

When they saw the pirate guerrilla fleet cruising in the waters under the jurisdiction of Black Swan Island, the big mom pirate group's indomitable momentum couldn't help but paused and stayed on the outer sea without continuing to move forward.

This is not to say that he is afraid of Zefa.

If Black Wrist, the former navy admiral, was in his heyday, he would not dare to be negligent in the slightest. However, today's Black Wrist has long lost its former glory. Big Mom would not take this former opponent seriously. If it weren't for worry, Harming Zefa would lead to crazy revenge from the navy. In addition, Zefa's pirate guerrillas did not bother her, so she ignored her old rival.

The reason why she is standing still now has her own considerations. In the final analysis, she is planning to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the confrontation between the beasts and the Black Prince to exploit the Kingdom of Exmundo. , to make up for all the previous losses, it would be best to take the opportunity to destroy the shipping network.

Of course, the latter is not easily achieved. Today's shipping network has taken shape, covering dozens of sea areas in the New World. Even destroying a few branches will only cause temporary trouble at most. However, Perospero and others A thought.

It's a bit far-fetched. In short, the Big Mom Pirates are not here to help the beasts. It's just because the Kingdom of Totland is closer to the Kingdom of Exmundo, so they came here first. Black Swan Island, if it were to take action first and lure the Black Prince over because of this, it would not be in line with the principle of taking advantage of the situation.

Not to mention the pirate guerrillas commanded by Zefa blocking the way at sea, even if there was no way, the Big Mom Pirates would not easily land on Black Swan Island. Only after confirming that the Black Prince and the Hundreds can take action can the final step of the action be taken. Good timing.

"Black-armed Zefa, I didn't expect this old guy to be stuck here..." Charlotte Snag, the most junior of the four dessert generals of the Big Mom Pirates, He stood on the bow and looked at the warship flying the seagull flag on the distant sea.

"He's just a washed up old guy, there's no need to take him to heart."

The man in heavy armor came over and stood next to Snag.

"Brother Cracker, have you ever fought against that black man before?" Hearing the hint of resentment hidden in his brother's words, Snag asked without suppressing the curiosity in his heart.

He is not very old. He is only 26 years old now. Compared with Katakuri, Cracker and other brothers, he is more than ten years younger. Unlike Cracker and others who have experienced hardships and hardships, when he grew up, , Big Mom has almost established the power of the Pirate Emperor.

However, he is the most ambitious among the younger generation of brothers and sisters. Looking at so many brothers and sisters, he is the only one to become a general, making the three generals expand into four generals, and Kataku Chestnut, Crackers, and Smoothie are tied together.

He was actually quite interested in these past years of struggle. Unfortunately, the older brothers and sisters didn't have many people to talk to, and besides, they were all busy with other things, so they rarely had the leisure to chat with them.

"That old man used to be very powerful."

Cracker didn't deny it.

He did have dealings with Zefa. In the past, the Big Mom Pirates were often hunted down by the navy. Sengoku, Garp, and Zefa were the three carriages that the navy used to wipe out the pirates. He was not very young at that time. Big, but has already followed Katakuri's brother into battle.

It's just that at that time, he could only fight with the captains in the navy. He couldn't even hold back a single move in front of Zefa. During the first battle, he was only affected by Zefa's punch, which made him He lay in bed for more than half a month before getting up, which left an extremely deep memory for him.

"However, it was so powerful before, but now... hum, I can trap that old guy without my mother taking action."

"Black wrist..."

Snag's eyes were filled with fire.

He wanted to test the weight of the former admiral's fist.

Cracker looked at it and didn't say anything. With Snag's ability, naturally he would not be Zefa's opponent, but with his mother here and him here, it doesn't matter even if he loses, he should just sharpen himself. This ambitious younger brother.

of course,

The premise of all this is that the Black Prince and the beasts have to fight first, and they are still at odds.

"Teacher, the Big Mom Pirates are parked offshore and there is no movement."

"As long as you don't get close to Black Swan Island, don't worry about them. Let the people watching you be careful. If Big Mom makes any moves, don't think about taking it hard. Avoid it as much as possible. As long as the information can be transmitted, there is no need. The number of casualties can be reduced."

"Don't worry, I've told you many times."

Ain agreed. She stood in front of the desk and was silent for two seconds. Then she expected Ai Ai to speak again, "Um, teacher, I don't know..."

"You want to ask about the situation with Prince Eleus?" Zefa guessed the student's thoughts.

"Yes."

Ain nodded.

The reason why she is concerned about the situation on Elus' side is Teacher Zefa. After all, according to their judgment, if Eleus can defeat the beasts in a short time, the big mom here may also be able to defeat them. will retreat. On the contrary, if Elus gets into a hard fight, Zefa-sensei will definitely start a war with Big Mom.

"Elvus has left the borders of the Kingdom of Exmundo."

Zefa revealed the latest information.

Since Elvus invited Zefa to help keep an eye on Big Mom, and even used the power of Bengyu to help Zefa cure the disease, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Zefa in order to recruit him in the future. To set the stage, the two left each other's private phone numbers, and they have been exchanging information with each other these days.

"Leaved... Do you want to fight outside the country?"

"That's right, Prince Elus doesn't want to destroy his own territory, so he is preparing to fight against Kaido's monster on an uninhabited island." This level of battle has the ability to destroy the island. Zefa fought with people back then, I have also destroyed many uninhabited desert islands.

He also quite appreciates Eleus's choice.

No matter how many changes he has suffered over the years, he still sticks to his original intention. Fighting pirates is not his pursuit, but protecting ordinary civilians who live ordinary lives is his obsession. He does not fight to destroy What, but to protect people's peace and happiness.

Part of the reason why he agreed to help Elus keep an eye on Big Mom was because he wanted to repay Eleus for helping him treat his illness, but at the same time he was worried that the Big Mom pirates would kill him wantonly in the Kingdom of Exmundo.

"No matter what, we will never let these villains run amok."

Zefa clenched his fists.

----

Sand and gravel are everywhere, and rock peaks stand tall.

This is a summer island with little life, and it is also a deserted island with no human habitation. Apart from the rock peaks of different sizes, there is not much vegetation on the island. Without the nourishment of vegetation, there will naturally be no vegetation on the island. There were not many living creatures, let alone humans, not even insects.

However, this island is quite vast. If there are springs and vegetation, it is estimated that it can support tens of thousands of people.

It is a pity that several nearby kingdoms have explored this desert island many times, but they have not found fresh water springs. Without enough fresh water, it is naturally impossible to transform this desert island into a habitable place for human beings. However, it is not suitable for people like this. The place where humans live happens to be used as a battlefield.

It just so happens that this desert island is on the path that the Beast Pirates must pass.

Elus chose this place, arrived here first, set up a formation, took the initiative to send people to contact the Beasts Pirates, issued a challenge to the Beasts, and made it clear that if the Beasts dared to bypass Here, if he directly attacks the mainland of the Kingdom of Exmundo, he will also go to the Kingdom of Wano and push the Kingdom of Wano into the deep sea.

"Your Highness, will the beasts really come looking for you?"

Fran asked worriedly.

This desert island is said to be the only way for the Beast Pirates to go to the Kingdom of Exmundo, but as long as they have the Eternal Pointer in hand, they don’t have to worry about losing their way even if they go around it. The Beast Pirates can do it. Avoiding Elus, they drove straight into the territory of the Kingdom of Exmundo.

"It will definitely come."

Eleus nodded.

"The target of the beasts is me, the shipping network, not Exmundo. I'm afraid he came this time to take advantage of the navy's inability to plot a new world and subdue me. Even if he can't kill me, as long as he can Defeating me will bring the opportunists who are attached to us closer to his."

The maritime network has spread to such a large extent in the New World. In addition to the territory of the Four Emperors, there are also special places like the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf. All other inhabited islands are basically covered by the maritime network. Going in, this big network connects the closed and scattered sea areas of the New World together.

This thing means such a huge profit. As long as your eyes are not blind and your brain is not broken, you can naturally see it clearly.

Big Mom wants to take advantage of the situation, that is, because the expansion of the shipping network affects the interests of the Kingdom of Totland, and is jealous of the huge profits brought by the shipping network, it makes such a move. In fact, the shipping network is not only for Al Us has brought huge profits, and various countries that have joined it have also benefited greatly.

What the maritime network does is not plundering and dumping, but exchanging what is needed.

However, although the profit of this thing is huge, it is not actually very stable. The manpower required to operate the shipping network that covers most of the New World is so huge. Even the Kingdom of Exmundo does not have that many manpower. Total control.

All Elus did was to let his attendants conquer the kingdoms in various sea areas with their fists, and use force to integrate these people, and only then did the current shipping network exist.

But as the saying goes, there is no success but no failure. Alvus used force to tie together the shipping network. Similarly, as long as someone can defeat Alvus, he can naturally recruit and force many people to join him, even if he cannot completely rebuild it. The current shipping network is still enough to capture sufficient profits.

Elus knew exactly what the beasts were planning.

Precisely,

This action of Baiju was in his expectation. He maliciously purchased animal devil fruits on the black market, which gave Baiju an excuse to take action. However, this was also an opportunity for Elus and Baiju to come into contact. , that’s right, Eleus deliberately provoked the beasts to come.

"Then, Your Highness...are you sure of winning?"

Fran asked softly.

"Haha, Fran, do you think I will lose?" Elus laughed.

"······probably not?"

Fran replied uncertainly.

Even though she had a tie with Big Mom, she had witnessed that battle with her own eyes. Kaido was known as the strongest in a one-on-one fight. This thing was recognized, even if it was the other four. The emperor has never denied it.

"I'm not sure whether I can win." Elus spread his hand. Although Bengyu was with him, at this point, it was not easy to climb to a higher level with Bengyu. What can be done, judging from the souls absorbed so far, is far from enough!

"But I definitely won't lose."

Even though it is temporarily unable to climb to a higher level, Bengyu's ability is enough to protect Elus from being invincible.

Moreover,

He had never thought about a fight to the death with Kaido, and he also believed that the cunning guy of the beasts would not really play any tricks with him until death. Many people knew that Kaido's hobby was suicide, but he If you really wanted to die, why bother escaping from a Navy prison ship?

And even if the prediction was wrong, it would just be a good fight with Kaido, and there wouldn't be much loss.

At this moment,

Someone came.

"Your Highness, the forward of the Beast Pirates has arrived twenty nautical miles away. According to the information received, the person coming is the big signboard of the Beast Pirates, [Drought] Jack." The attendant who rushed over reported truthfully. information obtained.

"Kaido didn't come?" Elus asked.

"The beasts should be still behind, the forward troops only see drought."

"Is there just a drought? It seems that it's not time for me to take action. Go inform Dylan and leave this battle to him. I want to see how powerful the big signboard of the Beasts Pirates is, or if I do it myself. The attendants trained are powerful."

The attendant retreated and rushed to inform Dylan.

Not long after, a battleship broke away from the fleet, sailed out of the harbor, and headed towards the direction of the Beast Pirates at great speed.

Elus was standing on the deck of the flagship, looking deeply at the distant battleship. He did not hesitate to use the power of Bengyu to train the attendants around him. This time he could see whether his efforts were in vain. , the big signboard of the Beasts Pirates, this is the best touchstone.
