Boom! Rumble rumble rumble!
Amidst earth-shattering roars, Wano Country settled firmly into the location of Banana Island.
The massive island, spanning a hundred miles in radius, appeared like a giant blooming flower at the central junction of the four seas.
Now, the Beast God Pirates controlled Totto Land and the Calm Belt.
The Red Hair Pirates controlled the Red Hair Territory.
The Blackbeard Pirates controlled Hachinosu.
The New World was no longer divided into four, but three.
After successfully relocating Wano Country, Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief, reverting to his human form and landing on the shores of Boro Town.
Shiki, Kaido, and Linlin simultaneously descended from the sky, landing one by one beside Caesar.
In the distance, as the turbulent waters gradually calmed, the Beast God Pirates' fleet of over a hundred ships surged forward at full speed, eagerly heading toward them.
"Hu-husband..." Hiyori cast a timid glance at Kaido and Linlin before calling out hesitantly.
Caesar revealed a gentle smile and said to Linlin beside him, "Linlin, Hiyori is pregnant. As my official wife, please take good care of her for me."
Linlin was momentarily stunned, then showed great delight as she smiled at Hiyori.
"Mamamama, Hiyori, I never expected you to conceive Caesar's child so quickly. I remember you two were only together once, right? Truly impressive. From now on, you should move to Tottoland... Ah, never mind, it seems the Donut Island has been destroyed. In that case, I'll just stay here with you. You're now a vulnerable weakness that mustn't fall into others' hands, mamamama."
"O-oh... alright... understood."
Hiyori felt her cheeks burning intensely, her ears turning completely red.
"Borororo, Wano Country has now completely opened its borders. From now on, this place will become the center of the entire New World. Hiyori, as the queen of this nation, you'll have your hands full from now on."
Caesar walked up to Hiyori, crouched down, and patted her head with a smile.
"Don't worry, my lord! I will redouble my efforts! Th-thank you!"
Being publicly patted on the head by Caesar made Hiyori blush deeply with embarrassment.
Yet she still expressed her gratitude to Caesar with utmost seriousness.
Hiyori understood that from this day forward, Wano Country's future would completely bid farewell to isolation and embrace a diversified world.
Under the protection of the Beast God Pirates and situated at the convergence point of major forces in the New World, Wano Country was destined for rapid development and explosive transformation!
Ulti, Black Maria, Page One, and others stood not far behind Hiyori.
But with so many powerful figures surrounding Caesar, they initially hesitated to approach.
As King continuously urged the navigator to accelerate, they finally reached the shores of Bakura Town.
Eager pirates jumped off the ship one after another, their eyes fixed on Caesar and the others.
"That appearance... it's truly that legendary man, Golden Lion!" Crocodile lit a cigarette for himself, taking a deep drag to calm his surging emotions.
Originally, Crocodile was the one who founded the Cross Guild, and by rights, he should have become one of the new Yonko in the New World.
But as luck would have it, Buggy - the possessor of Conqueror's Luck - had been mistakenly identified by the Marines as the guild master of the Cross Guild through various coincidences.
This wouldn't have been a big issue - Buggy's actual strength made him nothing more than a mascot, someone Crocodile didn't need to acknowledge.
However, the Cross Guild also included Mihawk, whose power far surpassed Crocodile's own!
Crocodile knew perfectly well that this world's greatest swordsman was close friends with Shanks.
With Mihawk's removal from the Seven Warlords, he should have joined the Red Hair Pirates immediately.
Yet he had been persuaded by Shanks to join Buggy's crew, undoubtedly with the intention of propping Buggy up.
Shanks had played his cards well - among the four Sea Emperors in the New World, three were essentially aligned with him.
Unable to become the leader of the Buggy Pirates, constrained by Mihawk's overwhelming strength, and constantly monitored by members of the Red Hair Pirates - Crocodile naturally refused to accept this situation.
Thus, he withdrew from the Buggy Pirates and drifted across the seas of the New World, until he entered Tottoland and was persuaded to stay by Doflamingo.
Though he hadn't explicitly stated his intention to join the Beast God Pirates, Crocodile's current stance made it clear he was already one of them.
The Beast God Pirates' influence was already substantial to begin with.
Now, the legendary great pirate Golden Lion had emerged as well!
Moreover, this middle-aged man standing before them—nearly seven meters tall with an immensely powerful build—exuded an overwhelming presence that bore no resemblance to an elderly man in his seventies or eighties.
'Is this the power of the Beast God Caesar? To restore a dying old man to his peak, to his youthful state! Hehehe, Golden Lion, Caesar, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Ganzui—all are overlords of the old era. Are they trying to recreate the grand blueprint of the Rocks Pirates?'
Shiki floated about a meter above the ground, watching as pirate ships approached one after another, spreading across the sea.
He then glanced at King, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Gin, Moria, and the others, his brow twitching slightly.
"Gyahahaha! Caesar, it seems you weren't lying! You really have quite a few promising talents under your command! I see several former star-chasers among them. Though they haven't reached our level yet, they're rare silver-tier players on the seas."
Caesar walked to the front of the crowd, a brilliant smile spreading across his face as he watched the dense cluster of pirate ships approaching over the sea.
He tilted his chin toward Shiki.
Shiki rolled his eyes, somewhat reluctantly raising his large hand and pulling it downward!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Above everyone's heads, massive pirate ships descended from the sky, hovering over the sea.
In an instant, the sky and the sea were filled with pirate ships.
Every ship was packed with fanatical pirates.
Caesar took a deep breath, then suddenly shouted loudly.
"Men! From today onward, the entire Flying Pirate Fleet of the Golden Lion will join our Beast God Pirates! Give them the warmest welcome with your loudest voices!!"
Caesar's voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the sea, reaching every pirate ship and every pirate's ears.
As soon as he spoke, the pirates on the ships fell silent, each looking up at the sky.
After a moment of silence, an earth-shattering roar of excitement and cheers erupted!
Listening to the massive cheers ringing in his ears, Caesar chuckled and wrapped an arm around Shiki's shoulder.
"Shiki, you old fool, you're this old and still haven't thought about taking a wife and having heirs? Look at Kaido, look at me—we both have children. Among the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the worst. Your father raised you with difficulty; you can't be unfilial."
Veins bulged on Shiki's forehead, throbbing visibly.
