Without the Celestial Dragons around, and with no pirates looking for a fight, the Kuja Pirates were left alone. Even though Shin hadn’t been seen on the sea for four years, his reputation was enough to scare off most pirates.

After resupplying, Shin and his crew headed for Fish-Man Island, their gateway to the New World.

Arriving at the depths of 10,000 meters below the sea, Shin looked at Fish-Man Island, his eyebrows slightly raised. It was much better than the last time he’d been here—less chaotic.

But Shin and his crew didn’t linger.

Not long after, they proceeded to the New World.

Upon entering the New World, the members of the Kuja Pirates grew tense. Shin and Hancock weren’t concerned, but the Kuja warriors couldn’t help but be on edge.

They had never been to the New World before. This was their first time setting foot in it, but they were well aware of its dangers.

————

“The Beast Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are at war?”

Shin had just arrived in the New World when he heard this explosive piece of news.

“Should we go check it out?” Hancock asked Shin, eager for some action.

“Let’s go. A clash between two great pirate crews… how could we miss it?”

Shin said with a smile.

Kaido and Whitebeard were likely fighting for the title of Emperor of the Sea. It seemed the title of Emperor held a great attraction for Kaido.

Shin had come for that position as well. And to become an Emperor, you had to step on others to rise.

At this time, there was no concept of the Four Emperors. The title “Four Emperors” came later, when only four sea emperors emerged.

So, for now, all pirates believed there should only be one Emperor. If Kaido could defeat Whitebeard, he would naturally become the Emperor.

————

By the time Shin and his crew arrived, Kaido, leading the Beast Pirates, and Whitebeard, leading the Whitebeard Pirates, had already met on an island.

“KAIDO, YOU BRAT, I DIDN’T EXPECT YOU TO CHALLENGE ME.”

Whitebeard held Murakumogiri—his body exuding a kingly aura that even made Kaido feel a slight discomfort.

“Old man, you were defeated by Shin Uzumaki, what right do you have to be an Emperor of the Sea?”

Kaido held a giant Kanabō, his face grim as he looked at Whitebeard.

“Kaido, I heard you were scared out of your wits by Shin Uzumaki in Wano and fled like a coward. I WONDER IF THAT’S TRUE??”

Marco retorted at Kaido. He couldn’t stand anyone looking down on his Pops.

“BASTARD!”

Kaido unleashed Thunder Bagua, swinging his lightning-wreathed Kanabō at Marco. This move could one-shot Gear Fourth Luffy.

But, Marco had the Phoenix Fruit—he wouldn’t be so easily one-shotted.

————

“Kaido, you have the nerve to attack my son in front of me?”

Whitebeard’s face darkened.

He hadn’t been too angry when Kaido had spoken to him like that. But now, seeing Kaido attack Marco, Whitebeard was really angry.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!”

He swung his naginata, blocking Kaido’s Kanabō. With a shake of his arms, a wave of vibrational force sent Kaido flying—

“What a… formidable strength.”

Kaido took several steps back. His strength had increased since his time in Wano. But facing Whitebeard, he couldn’t even gain the upper hand in terms of strength.

“Kaido-sama, should we help?”

The three All-Stars asked Kaido.

“Stay out of it. This is a battle between me and Whitebeard.”

Kaido didn’t let them interfere. If they did, it would probably start a full-scale war between the Beast Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Such a battle would not be good for either pirate crew.

Moreover, Kaido was a guy who liked to fight one-on-one. Regardless of whether he won or lost in the end, he just liked to fight one-on-one.

This also suited Whitebeard’s intentions. If both sides went to war, it would only benefit others. And most importantly, Whitebeard didn’t want to see his sons get hurt.

————

Many great pirates had come to watch this battle. Neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Beast Pirates drove them away.

For Kaido, the more people who saw this battle, the better.

He wanted to become the Emperor of the Sea—so he needed to be recognized by others. He wanted to defeat Whitebeard in front of everyone.

And just then, Shin and the Kuja Pirates also arrived…

————

“Looks like we’re not late. Their battle has just begun,” Shin said with a smile.

The battle between Whitebeard and Kaido represented the clash of the world’s top-tier powers. Shin was very much looking forward to the result.

“I wonder when I’ll have that kind of power,” Hancock couldn’t help but say.

Hancock knew that only with that kind of power could she truly help Shin. Otherwise, in a battle between true masters, she couldn’t even interfere.

“You’re still young. Just improve your strength slowly,” Shin patted Hancock’s little head and said to her.

Hancock was only sixteen—she was still young. And even at her current age, she already possessed considerable strength. Perhaps her combat experience was lacking, but her strength was already comparable to a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Most importantly, this was the period of her fastest strength improvement. In another two years, Hancock would at least have quasi-Admiral strength.

Perhaps before she turned twenty, she would have strength comparable to an Admiral. This was truly hard to imagine in the One Piece world.

————

“THAT’S THE FLAG OF THE KUJA PIRATES…”

The Great pirates around saw the flag of the Kuja Pirates.

Though the Kuja Pirates had always stayed in the first half of the Grand Line, the pirates in the New World, the second half, were very familiar with the Kuja Pirates.

There was no way around it. How could they not be familiar with Shin’s pirate crew?

What if they accidentally disrespected them??

There were those who were afraid, and of course, there were those who were dismissive. Some pirates felt it was no big deal. After all, Shin hadn’t been in the news for four years. People were forgetful.

This was why Shin wanted to take the title of Emperor of the Sea. With this title, no one would even think of forgetting.

As they looked at Shin, Shin also looked at them. Among these people, Shin saw a few familiar faces, such as Red-Haired Shanks, Gecko Moria, and Crocodile.

Several of the future Four Emperors and Seven Warlords were already gathered.

But Big Mom hadn’t come…
