Chapter 149 : The Four Emperors Pirates are the next enemy?!
["Luffy-Senpai, I'll wait for seven individuals to willingly join your command!"]
["Henceforth, become the spear and shield of the Straw Hat Pirates!"]
["No matter where we are, as long as Luffy-Senpai gives the order, I'll rush to follow Luffy-Senpai!"]
[At this moment, the seven raised the wine in unison.]
[They are Team Captain Cavendish, Captain of the Second Team Bartolomeo, Captain of the Third Team Lao Cai, Captain of the Fourth Team Edio, Captain of the Fifth Team Leo of the Tontatta Tribe.]
[And the Captain of the Sixth Team, Hajrudin of the Giant Race, and the final Captain of the Seventh Team, Olumbus of the Super Large Ship Group.]
[All members have reached an astonishing number, surpassing 5,600!]
[Among them, there are fifty-six members from the Barto Club, seventy-five from the Beautiful Pirates, and a thousand from the Eight Treasures Water Army.]
[Additionally, a fighting alliance formed by four long-armed and long-legged families and a two-hundred-strong villain.]
[Five-member Giant Pirate Regiment and a 4,300-strong Adventure Ship Regiment.]
[Under the representation of Bartolomeo and Cavendish, everyone raised their glasses!]
[Voluntarily joining the Straw Hat Pirates to become their affiliated strength!]
[Jointly establishing the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!]
[Faced with this situation, Chopper, Usopp, and Franky behind Luffy were astonished!]
[Because each of these seven individuals is an incredibly powerful force!]
[Not only Cavendish and Lao Cai but any one of them could be a formidable pirate at sea!]
[Yet now, they willingly joined Luffy and the others?]
[This is enough to make Luffy and the crew a renowned superpower upon entering the New World!]
[More than 5,600 strong.]
[Perhaps only the Four Emperors Pirate Groups can boast of such a tremendous numerical advantage.]
[However, in response to everyone's self-recommendation, Captain Luffy stood up.]
[Originally, with his personality, he wouldn't agree to everyone joining...]
[However, Zoro behind him, whether understanding Luffy's character and intending to agree directly or just being thirsty and wanting to finish the drink...]
[He directly downs the sake, symbolizing acceptance.]
[Bartolomeo and the others, seeing Zoro drink, naturally followed suit!]
[They directly lift their glasses and take a sip, sealing their inclusion under the Straw Hat Pirates!]
[The Straw Hat Grand Fleet, established at this moment.]
With the live sky screen playing!
Right now!
All around the globe, audiences were left in awe. Never had they envisioned the unfolding events to take such a turn?
Luffy and his crew not only vanquished Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but they also rescued the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa.
Furthermore, the formidable figures renowned in the Dressrosa Kingdom have willingly come under their command!
Becoming Luffy's sworn allies!?
Yet, in the eyes of many, it was during this battle, whether it was Luffy or every member of the Straw Hat Pirates, they put in relentless effort to overcome their formidable adversary!
They showcased their allure to the fullest.
Their victory over Doflamingo not only symbolized triumph but also served as a covert rescue mission for the people of Dressrosa!
Naturally, including the seven individuals before them, they too must have been captivated by Luffy's charisma, choosing willingly to join him and become his comrades!
If, in the future, Luffy indeed ascends to the position of the Pirate King.
Even among the Four Emperors!
Their decisions today would undoubtedly yield boundless advantages for their future selves...
Now!
It wasn't just the countless viewers who were taken aback.
Even many powerful factions on the sea were shaken by this!
Whitebeard Pirates!
Observing the Straw Hat Pirates, originally comprising about ten members, suddenly gaining numerous new allies!
A Straw Hat Grand Fleet boasting more than 5,600 individuals took form!
The entire Whitebeard crew, including Whitebeard himself, reveled in joy and merriment!
Of course, the one most overjoyed was none other than Ace!
He gazed at the sky, a sense of relief adorning his face!
"Luffy, my brother... ＃..."
"At this moment, you have truly assumed the mantle of the future king of the sea!"
"I anticipate witnessing your continuous growth in the days to come!"
"I'm sure, by that time, you will surpass me without a doubt."
Red-haired pirates!
Shanks too cast his gaze toward the sky, wearing a smile on his face.
While sipping from his wine, he mumbled, "Luffy is becoming more and more like a formidable man!"
"He conquered this group of people through the sheer force of his personality charm."
"Presumably, in the future, these individuals might become his right-hand men. I wish him success in ascending to the throne!"
"I'm really looking forward to that day."
Revolutionary Army Headquarters!
The commanders of the five major armies, including Dragon, were stunned...
They never expected that in the blink of an eye, the Straw Hat Pirates would evolve into such a formidable force?
More than 5,600 individuals, even when compared to the Four Emperors Pirate Group, they wouldn't be outmatched!
Such a vast fleet of ships is a rare sight at sea!
"It's incredible, so many people at once..."
"Yes, and what's more important is that each captain of the seven teams in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet has the potential to become a notorious pirate!"
"This group of people voluntarily joined the Straw Hat Pirates and became Luffy's comrades. It truly surprised me."
"Worthy of the chief's son, their style is exactly like the chief's, though it has caught many by surprise."
As the force hoping for Luffy's continual growth, they are naturally overjoyed to witness this.
Including Sabo, even Dragon is currently wearing a smile!
Among the three forces mentioned earlier, all are pleased to witness the establishment of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
However, the most significant reaction comes from the Navy Headquarters!
At the Navy Headquarters, Garp naturally wore a smile.
After all, witnessing his grandson's growing strength brings immense joy. Not only did Luffy defeat Doflamingo, a formidable enemy, but he also gained many new allies.
There is nothing more satisfying!
Although Sengoku is a Navy Fleet Admiral and is generally opposed to pirates, Luffy is his junior. He remains silent but feels joy in his heart.
The most enthusiastic reaction came from Admiral Akainu!
At this moment, his face turned extremely dark!
"The Straw Hat Pirates were already an extremely dangerous pirate group!"
"They pose a significant threat to the safety of the entire sea!"
"Now, their power has surged once again..."
"This group must be apprehended!"
"They cannot be allowed to act recklessly at sea!"
"I will personally capture the Straw Hat Pirates..."
However, almost everyone present ignored his words.
Most were still immersed in the shock of the situation.
Even Doflamingo, tucked away in a corner, had an extremely dark expression and was suppressing his anger.
If it weren't for the presence of so many Navy personnel and powerful individuals, he would have gone mad and attacked everyone on the spot...
When everyone was still reeling from the shock of the establishment of the Straw Hat Pirate Crew, the spectacle in the sky had not yet concluded. The scene unfolded slowly.
[With the assistance of the entire population of Dressrosa, as well as Bartolomeo and other large ships allied with the Straw Hats.]
[Luffy and his crew finally eluded the pursuit of the navy and successfully returned to the sea!]
[Of course,]
[After the entire incident was resolved, Dressrosa once again saw the light!]
[King Riku reclaimed the throne and ruled over the entirety of Dressrosa!]
[Of course, they didn't forget the kindness shown by Luffy and the others...]
[Now, Dressrosa lay in ruins due to Doflamingo's destruction, and the task at hand was to rebuild the kingdom!]
[In addition to restoring Dressrosa's original appearance, three sculptures were erected in the very heart of the kingdom!]
[For everyone in the kingdom to admire day and night!]
[One of them perpetually honored the hero of the kingdom, Kyros!]
"[The next] defeated Sugar and restored hope."
×Savior" Usopp!]
[And the sculpture positioned between the two, at the most significant spot, depicted Luffy...]
[Yet, unlike Luffy's usual appearance, this sculpture portrayed Luffy in disguise as Lucy, appearing in the arena.]
[The reason for this decision was to avoid attracting the attention of the navy.]
[After all, if a pirate is established as an idol to worship in a kingdom, it might lead to some trouble.]
[But by establishing it in the form of Lucy, no one would know that he is Luffy...]
[Not that it mattered, as the entire population of Dressrosa was aware that Lucy was Luffy!]
[Luffy's heroic image persisted in everyone's hearts!]
[Simultaneously, on the other side]
[Due to the necessity of escorting Caesar to escape Doflamingo's pursuit,]
[Nami, Brook, and Sanji had taken Caesar to a faraway area from Dressrosa!]
[And there, they stumbled upon an even more significant trouble!]
[No less threatening than Doflamingo, a member of the Four Emperors,]
[They encountered a formidable foe—the Big Mom Pirates, a subgroup of the Four Emperors Pirate Group!]
[Nami and Brook were nearly petrified!]
[They never anticipated encountering the powerhouse of the Four Emperors at sea!]
[After intense efforts to evade the pursuit of the Four Emperors Pirates,]
[They arrived at a mysterious island!]
[However, here, they faced a surprise attack once again...]
[Fortunately, Sanji appeared in time, swiftly incapacitating them!]
[Yet, observant Sanji noticed that the symbols on these attackers belonged to the Four Emperors Pirate Group!]
[And they were distinct from the previous Big Mom pirates!]
[They belonged to... The world's mightiest creature, the pirate group of Kaido of the Hundred Beasts!]
With the emergence of these live streams!
The global audience... Erupted once again!
Even the powerful factions at sea shared the same sentiment!
They never fathomed that Nami, Sanji, and the others...
Would unexpectedly confront both the Big Mom pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates—pursuers from two Four Emperors powerhouses?
You see, the Four Emperors level beings aren't dispatched casually!
And when they are, it doesn't mean that the pursuers are the sole targets!
Now, the Straw Hat Pirates are not just facing the pursuit of one Four Emperors Pirate Group but two!
Such a situation is so rare that Aurora contemplated, and everyone speculated.
Could it be that the next adversaries for the Straw Hat pirates be powerhouses, the Four Emperors!?
