"Even if Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr salvage the ship, the Navy still won't be able to deal with those crazy pirates."
Satan Saint pondered, "You mean... to expand the navy's strength?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with unanimous opposition from the other four stars: "Inappropriate!"
Superiors always harbor an inexplicable suspicion towards their subordinates.
Especially the navy, a violent institution.
The current configuration of one marshal and three admirals in the navy is already terrifying enough.
The Five Elders don't want the Navy's strength to rise to another level!
Saint Satan also felt this was inappropriate, so he asked Saint Bit, who had raised the question, "Then what do you think we should do?"
After a moment's thought, Pitt Saint said, "Could we ask the pirates to help us deal with them?"
"Expand and tell me."
Pitt Saint expressed his idea: "We can select some powerful pirates from the pirates and join the World Government to keep the other pirates in check."
Maz Saint frowned: "You mean to recruit pirates? Pirates are all lawless people, is that feasible?"
Pittor Saint only had a rough plan, explaining, "We still need to discuss the details. There is inherent conflict among pirates. If we can make good use of their contradictions and offer them great benefits, we might be able to turn them into our henchmen."
Saint Satan stroked his chin and pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "Actually, it's something we can consider, but just how much 'great profit' would it take to make pirates willing to serve us?"
Nasujiro rubbed his chin: "We can discuss this."
Sacred Vochuli agreed, "Indeed."
The five elders reached a consensus and began to discuss the topic.
Lei Luo was unaware that his arrival had prompted the World Government to prematurely establish the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The island flew back to the calm zone, so Lei Luo no longer needed to personally handle the resettlement of the Great Swamp's inhabitants.
The Beasts Pirates have their chief butler, King, right? This kind of thing can be left to King to do.
After instructing the others on preparations for opening the country, Lei Luo went to the Flower Capital to drink with Kaido.
With a little wine, the world is mine.
Lei Luo was also acting on a whim.
He's up to no good.
Since he controlled public opinion, Reilly decided to have Morgans start spreading the word.
Just as Xiang Yu enfeoffed eighteen princes, the Beasts Pirates also bestowed an emperor title upon the pirates on the high seas.
"One Piece" and "Four Emperors".
Chapter 160 To be determined
Upon hearing the summons, Morgans disregarded everything else and immediately rushed to the Flower Capital Palace to see Kaido and Lero.
Every time the Beasts Pirates summon him, it means they have something big to do, so he can't help but get excited.
Morgans was completely bewildered when he heard those two words, and then quickly took out his notebook.
Lei Luo smiled and continued, "Yes, the 'Four Emperors' refers to the four powerful pirates besides our Beasts Pirate King, who are called the Emperors of the Sea, the so-called 'Four Emperors'!"
"Oh, I see." Morgans immediately jotted it down in his notebook.
However, Morgans immediately had a new question: "Why exclude the Beasts Pirates?"
Kaido gave Morgans a cold look and snorted, "What do you mean 'why'? Of course, it's because I'm the Pirate King!"
Lei Luo nodded: "Yes, we are the 'Pirate Kings,' surpassing even the 'Four Emperors'!"
On the high seas now, apart from Kaido, who has the title of "Pirate King," everyone else simply refers to him as "Great Pirate."
For example, the great pirate Whitebeard, the great pirate Roger, and the great pirate Linlin.
Morgans couldn't help but sigh to himself: Why can't he figure these things out himself?
It's a real loss to the journalism industry that the first mate isn't going into journalism.
Morgans lowered his head again to write it down, then looked up and asked, "Which four pirates are suitable to become the 'Four Emperors'?"
Kaido immediately thought of his old comrade from the Rocks Pirates: "Whitebeard, that guy is incredibly strong."
Lei Luo added, "That guy with the black nose should still be alive, so add them too."
Kaido thought for a moment, then remembered his senior, Linlin: "Then let's add Linlin too!"
Lei Luo seconded, "That's what I think too."
After writing down the names of Whitebeard, Black Nose Hair, and Lingling, Morgans asked, "And the last one?"
Kaido, I don't know who's better now.
Morgans, being the most well-informed, quickly remembered a very powerful pirate: "Red Earl, how about Patrick Redfield?"
Lei Luo rejected Morgans' idea: "Red Earl is indeed very strong, but he is all alone and has no pirate crew. What we need to choose is not only the four great pirates, but also the four great pirate crews."
Morgans then remembered a powerful pirate and suggested again, "How about Wang Zhi, the pirate patriarch of Beehive Island?"
Kaido pondered, "Wang Zhi's strength is indeed quite good."
Lei Luo rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
As Kaido said, Wang Zhi's strength is indeed quite good.
Although they had never fought each other, they knew that in the original novel, Wang Zhi had dominated Beehive Island for decades.
Even Blackbeard, who later possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit, only managed to defeat Wang Zhi with the help of Law and Coby.
But Lei Luo felt that this thing wasn't high-class enough.
Lei Luo shook his head: "I think Wang Zhi is a bit lacking; he doesn't deserve the title of 'Four Emperors.'"
Kaido and Morgans couldn't think of anyone else for the moment.
“How about just the ‘Three Sovereigns’? There’s no need for four, is there?” Morgans asked tentatively.
Kaido, sipping his drink, nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
Lei Luo hesitated for a moment: "emmm..."
Lei Luo quickly thought of a suitable candidate in his mind. Although public opinion was in his hands, he couldn't just choose anyone.
Since the goal is to bestow titles of "Emperor" upon pirates and define the maritime landscape, these "Emperors" must naturally possess matching strength.
If someone is elected and then gets eliminated by someone else, no one will take this report seriously; it will become a joke.
However, when Lei Luo wanted to create a famous pirate with a name and a surname, he couldn't find a suitable one.
"If there are no other candidates, then..."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. A sly glint appeared in Lei Luo's eyes, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "No, still one of the 'Four Emperors,' but..."
Morgans was shocked after hearing this: "Is this how it's reported?"
Lei Luo waved him away, saying, "Go, go, go and hurry up and print the newspaper."
"Alright!" Morgans saluted with outstretched wings, then immediately ran towards his World Economic News Agency.
Kaido and Leero continued drinking as if nothing had happened: "Come on, drink up!"
The newsbird quickly spread Morgans' latest report throughout the world.
In the streets and alleys, and in places where people gather, such as pubs, everyone is talking about the latest newspaper.
"The Pirate King and the Four Emperors?"
"A great pirate who reigns over the sea like an emperor? How interesting."
"Ah, there are four sea emperors in total, collectively known as the 'Four Emperors,' who are..."
"Edward Newgate, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Gol D. Roger, captain of the Black Nose Pirates!"
"Charlotte Linlin, captain of the Big Mom Pirates!"
"besides……"
"Pfft, hahahaha..."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it, hahaha..."
"You jerk, keep your laughter down, you're making me want to laugh too, hahahaha..."
The world generally accepts Morgans's report of a "one king and four emperors" maritime order.
The Beasts Pirates became the first pirate crew to reach the final island.
They even caused such a huge commotion in the Great Swamp, completely humiliating the World Government and the Navy.
The title of Pirate King belongs to no one but him!
Whitebeard, Black Nose Hair, and Big Mom, the three emperors of the sea, were all figures who had sailed for many years and dominated the ocean.
However, when they saw the fourth Sea Emperor, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wang Zhi angrily tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds, roaring, "Bastard, damn bastard, how dare you insult me like this!"
The surrounding pirates trembled, deliberately slowing their breathing, fearing that they would be killed by the enraged Wang Zhi to vent his anger!
This is a pirate island; life here is no different from that of an ant.
So why was Wang Zhi so angry?
Because the newspapers also referred to him as the Emperor of the Sea, except that there was a parenthesis that said "to be determined"!
This was something Lei Luo deliberately created, the so-called "quasi-Emperor".
Wang Zhi overturned the table in front of him, then picked up a weapon and wantonly destroyed everything in sight.
Soon, the room was a complete mess.
Wang Zhi completely broke down and roared hysterically.
"What's pending?!"
"How did it become pending?!"
Choosing him as the emperor of the sea is no problem.
He believes he is quite capable and fully deserving of the title!
It's fine if we don't choose him to be the emperor of the sea.
He didn't have such grand ambitions; he just wanted to protect his small plot of land on Beehive Island.
But why did that bastard Morgans have to choose him and then add "pending" after his name?
Chapter 161 Latest Bounty
Some island in the New World.
The Whitebeard Pirates are waiting here for the coating craftsmen to coat the "Moby Dick".
The coating process cannot be taken lightly. If anything goes wrong on the seabed, there will be no one to help you.
So even though the Whitebeard Pirates were eager to go to the four seas to hunt down the Celestial Dragons, there was no use in being in a hurry.
Many pirates are also waiting for the coating!
In this situation, who wouldn't want to go to the first half of the Grand Line or hunt down the Celestial Dragons in the four seas?
They might awaken their Conqueror's Haki, or they might sell it for money.
None of the coating craftsmen expected that their business would boom because of the Beasts Pirates.
A bird engulfed in flames descended from the sky, and Marco handed the newspaper to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard flipped through the newspaper and couldn't help but chuckle: "Gurarararar... That brat Kaido even gave me the title of 'Emperor of the Sea'!"
His sons immediately surrounded him, and the white-bearded man casually handed them the newspaper he was holding.
After reading the contents of the newspaper, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates no longer shouted as before, but instead remained silent with their heads down.
