Orochi chose to secretly leave the country of Wano surrounded by bandits at this time, which was not an act of negligence.

In fact, long before Roger surrendered, Orochi had already made not-so-full preparations for the current action.

In the eyes of Orochi at that time, although there was still the poison of Kozuki that had not yet been cleaned up in Wano, it was stirring in the dark;

Outside, there is Kaido, the "Hundred Beasts" who has not yet grown to his full body, eyeing the title of "The Land of Samurai".

It is even possible that other overseas forces who have heard about the movements of the "Beasts Pirates" will follow Kaido's footsteps and begin to pay close attention to the current situation of this country that has long been famous in the new world.

If these ferocious wolves, the real ferocious beast behind them: the World Government discovers the weakness of Wano.

Not to mention the importance of having the only open-air Kailou quarry on the sea in Wano Country.

Even from the perspective of completely reducing this country, which once had samurai legends, into a war zone, and then providing powerful combatants called "samurai" to other forces, overthrowing the current rule of Wano Country Power is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.

What's more, for those "gods" who live in the pure and innocent holy land of Mariejoia and look down on this dirty lower world from above.

As long as something is rare enough, it can usually please them under ordinary circumstances.

And for most people in this sea, it is much more cost-effective to win the favor of a world noble, or to win the favor of a popular person in the eyes of a world noble, than just Bailey. good business.

After all, for the sea at that time, even if Orochi had the most important and well-known status, he was at best the king of a non-franchised country.

As far as this identity is concerned, its weight is not enough to allow the country of Wano to gain a moment of peace in the face of offshore forces.

Not to mention that the long-term goal is to "start the best war in the world", and the ultimate goal is to bring down all the "gods" who have been overlooking the world for more than [-] years: anarchists known as Kaido, the great pirate of "Hundred Beasts".

For Kaido, who is now about to enter a long period of war preparations, Wano Country is undoubtedly quite suitable as a very suitable weapons arsenal and source of soldiers.

This country has always pursued a "closed-door" policy under the rule of the Kozuki clan, so it has so far been a lawless fertile ground that has not joined the World Government, is not protected by the navy, and is not occupied by other big pirates.

This almost perfect place of choice is not a piece of fat that they can give up easily now for the "Beasts Pirates" who have not yet secured a solid base.

Because of this, among the many overseas forces that covet Wano, the "Beasts Pirates" can also be called Orochi's number one imaginary enemy.Even on many occasions when Wano internally analyzes the current situation, the external threat Orochi refers to usually specifically refers to the "Yonko" pirate group that would make this country a colony in the original historical trajectory.

If he had to deal with such an "Emperor of the Sea" who would never give up easily, even the current Orochi was confident that he could knock him down or force him back countless times using a force that was equal to or even slightly superior to him.

But he didn't have the confidence to deal with Charlotte Lingling who didn't know the secret of the capital island for the time being.

Using appeasement measures that are only expedient and selling some insignificant external possessions can make the "big mom" who has not yet set his sights on this country temporarily give up his plan to directly enter Wano Country.

According to common sense, if there is only Orochi alone, there is really no good way to break the current deadlock in a short time.

However, the development of things can always bring unexpected gains to those who are prepared:

The good thing about this is that there is an unqualified father who is willing to donate his remaining life and voluntarily give up the opportunity to witness the birth of his child. With his last words, he will start and dominate the next twenty years. , the turbulent "Great Pirate Age".

The real turning point in the current predicament faced by Orochi and even Wano lies in a small incident that happened in the waters outside the Dessert Islands a few days ago.

Although the "big news" that pushed this event to symbolize the beginning of a crazy period keenly sensed the meaning behind this event.

However, there are still very few people in this world who can be like Orochi who knows the original historical trajectory, or Morgans who can constantly hone his innate keen sense of news at work.

Most people may not have noticed that in the corner of the fourth page of the "World Economic News" of that day, there was an article about a new pirate group called the "Chick Pirates" who wanted to challenge the long-awaited challenge of becoming famous. News about the big pirate "big mom".

Orochi, who discovered the news immediately, could even easily read his disdain for the actions of this new pirate group from the emotions revealed between the lines of the journalist who wrote the report.

Although the "Totland" of all nations at this time was far from mature, more than twenty years later, it had 34 islands guarding Cake Island in the shape of satellites, and 34 "dessert ministers" guarding the country's maritime borders and enclosing manatees. The situation for monitoring the entire country has not yet been established.

But the "Emperor of the Sea" is the "Emperor of the Sea" anyway.

Not because the name of the seemingly majestic "Four Emperors" in the future is missing, even the real power that can dominate the country has disappeared.

This "Chick Pirates", which was also unknown in the future known to Orochi, failed to make any waves in the end.

Not to mention the first-generation pirate empress: "Big Mom", according to the news published in the newspaper, they even have the face of the "Dessert Minister" who is the backbone of the Charlotte family and is responsible for stationing various dessert islands. None of them were seen.

It is said that before that, with an appearance that was very suitable for their identity as a rookie pirate, the only ship of the "Big Mom Pirates" was destroyed by the tart cannonball that was unique in the new world from a distance.

The real battle is over before it even begins.

The final result of this so-called "Chick Pirates" seems to be in the form of an inconspicuous piece of tofu, leaving them with an ending that they will regret for the rest of their lives.

But Orochi knew that was not the case.

'No matter what the composition of this pirate group is, whether it is strong or not, whether it has achieved its goal... none of this actually matters at all! '

Orochi, who had already packed his bags and prepared to secretly go to sea, once again thought of the newspaper that decided today's action, and couldn't help but be excited about the great significance behind it.

Even the big snake's body, which had always been forbidden, began to tremble slightly due to the change in mood.

'The most important thing is that new forces that dare to break the situation where the great pirates in the new world are fighting for hegemony have finally begun to appear!

As long as the first person who dares to eat crabs appears, there will be cracks in the legend of the great pirate that was forged with blood and blood in the past.

By this time, the ferocious side of the Great Pirate Age had begun to emerge.

Even those 'sea emperors' who used to be able to sit back and relax, don't even think about staying out of it! '

On this vast sea that can accommodate everyone's ambitions and dreams.

The so-called careerists...and those dreamers who are just ambitious, have always been a kind of creature that emerges in endlessly and cannot be exterminated.

With a cycle of about 20 years, this sea will enter the change of times.

In a period 40 years ago, a terrifying force was born in the hands of a monster that everyone called "the strongest pirate in the world";

Unprecedentedly, this group of outlaw gangsters gathered together by "an opportunity to make a lot of money" did not have conflicts that could lead to internal destruction because of their strong self-assertion and flamboyant personalities.

Instead, they gathered under the increasingly terrifying captain, carrying the flag that still scares many old navy, and acted recklessly on the sea, wantonly demonstrating their huge power that could overthrow the country.

After his death 20 years ago, the pirate force called the "Rocks Pirates" reached its heyday.

Even the names of that era were named after a mere pirate for the first time in history.

Even though it has been completely erased from books and people's stories by the World Government, even the Celestial Dragons will be in the "Age of Rocks" where they will become panicked because they are in that period.

It is precisely because everyone has experienced that terrifying period of disputes that after the later "Pirate King" and "Naval Heroes" joined forces to end that crazy era, the following 20 years ushered in a relatively peaceful, but still conflicting era. period.

Just a few years ago, this period was known as the "Era of the Three Legends". But after the news of the "Roger Pirates"'s conquest of the Grand Line spread, this era was also called the "Era of the Three Legends" by fickle people. It’s the “era of the Pirate King”.

It was in the "era of the Pirate King" that there were three "Legendary Pirates" and several great pirates who were just inferior to the "Legendary Pirates".

That is, "Big Mom", "Hundred Beasts", and the rare lone ranger "Red Earl", "Devil's Descendants" and others.

It was during that period when people had just emerged from the crazy "Rocks Era" and people were gradually settling down. With their own strength, they carved out a sky of their own in the chaotic sea, and since then established their unshakable status.

Probably because their status in the pirate industry is gained by their desperate fighting on the sea with open swords and guns.

Therefore, it is extremely reliable, and even spreads similar to nursery rhymes on the sea, rooted in folk pirate legends.

"The big pirate with white beard is more terrifying than ghosts." has become a household name.

Even a few years before Roger was publicly executed by the navy, in the new world that was gradually settling down, it had been a long time since the "Chicken Pirates" had dared to show off their horses and horses to these dominant forces. A new pirate appears in the big pirate challenge.

And this is the significance of the emergence of the "Chick Pirates" at this time.

'Although the ending of this rookie pirate group can be said to be very educational, things will definitely not develop in the direction of 'killing the chicken to show the monkey' as the big pirates thought. '

Orochi could conclude that the monkeys on the sea would not feel the same for the death of the chicks, and from then on they were willing to bow at the feet of the great pirate who was born only 2 to 30 years earlier than them.

Instead, they will treat those big pirates who really have the power of an emperor as mediocre people who are on a similar level to chicks.

In the eyes of pirates who have never seen the world, the so-called stories of pirates who crack mountains and crack rocks and even lift their seas are, at best, just a way for big pirates who have no real abilities to make up to cheer for their own strength. .

They really don't believe that there is no fairness in this world.

The gap between people is actually wider than the gap between a newborn baby and a super-giant Neptune species that can live for thousands of years.

Therefore, after someone dares to fire the first shot, the new pirates who rush into the sea in pursuit of the "one piece" mentioned by the Pirate King will inevitably focus on those big pirates who have been famous for a long time and occupy too much territory.

Even among these pirates, most of them are worse than the "Chicken Pirates".

I have been living in a state of confusion for the rest of my life, and I don’t even have the chance to get my name in the World Economic News.

But among these newcomers who have never considered becoming pirates before, there will inevitably be talents who are enough to make people excited.

He is so outstanding that even among the future "Four Emperors" pirates, he will be a capable soldier capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

Faced with such talents, needless to say, the "Whitebeard" who has always been interested in recruiting his sons, the "Hundred Beasts" who have been recruiting talents in order to start a war, and probably even the "Big Mom" ​​who has always only believed in blood relations "Everyone will be moved by it.

After all, no matter how hard we kill these new blood, we can't kill them all, and no matter how hard we rush them, we can't stop them.

If you can't bring them under your command and strengthen your power.

Then it is clear that they are allowed to go under the enemy's command to convey the power of their enemy.

Amid this ebb and flow, it is still unclear who will become the next "Pirate King" after Roger.

Therefore, facing these energetic new pirates, there is a constant wave of impact. Even the "Emperor of the Sea" who has been at the top of the pirates for nearly ten years still needs to spend a lot of time tasting them. .

Only in this way can we stay one step ahead of our opponents from this battle that will determine the future.

But only when the tide of the times gradually and violently rolls from bottom to top like this.

Even the "emperors" who in the past had nothing to do personally needed to show their faces and use their absolute power to overwhelm all those who knew nothing about the "sea emperors" inside and outside. This was the best time for the Orochi to act.

After everyone was either actively or passively involved in the feast of the times caused by Roger, they naturally had no time to pay attention to the country of Wano, which could run away from the monks but not from the temple.

Then Orochi, who originally had to guard the country to defend against the big pirate raids, was immediately liberated from this rigid job.

The big snake, who was rarely free, after handing over the work at hand to his subordinates, took advantage of the hazy night with dark clouds to cover the sun, and soared into the sky along the roof of Black Carbon City.

In just a moment, it completely disappeared into the [-]-meter-high sky that scholars call the White Sea.

Until his figure in the long dark black feathers blended into the night sky and was no longer reflected in the eyes of the people below.

These important officials, who had been monitored by the ninjas of Orochi Imperial Court, left in an orderly manner according to Fu Lu Shou's arrangements.

Although Orochi didn't know what these officials were thinking, who were almost forced to stay up all night with the palace minister to hand over the work, and they had to report to the workplace as usual tomorrow to avoid exposing their flaws.

But for Orochi, it was a good and refreshing thing to finally be able to leave the country that always reminded people of a period of powerlessness.

"only…"

The big snake thought:

'The next time I travel from this country, I don't plan to stay in such obscurity.

Guhehehe, if this journey goes well, the navy will definitely return to the pirates after that.

Please be prepared next time, Mr. Kaido.My next target has to be you after all. '
